It seems like none of the apps out there (WiFi Tether, FoxFi and alike) work. Some seem to be able to start but no connection can be made.
Had anyone successfully ran SG4 in hotspot mode?

Not sure exactly what your asking for but: Hotspot Hack
I was looking for the app based solution. Thanks for the link, but that seems to be a bit risky.
My understanding is that JB has blocked FoxFi and it's kin. FoxFi's website has a chart to show which phones and OS levels it runs on. I did not expect it to run on my S4 and it does not. But PDANet+ (who has partnered with FoxFi now) does work for tethering. I was forced to use it for several hours yesterday when my cable was down and it worked great. But it's not wireless. and I did not try it via bluetooth, only wired.

Just found out how easy it is to tether my mobile phone to my tablet using the 3g network. Previously looked at lots of tethering apps on android play but none are needed (nor worked). Finally found an Acer Oceanic movie on UTube showing how easy it is. So, no USB cable needed nor tethering app - its all there already on your Android phone and your A500. Now I can use the Internet anywhere I want providing there's a 3G signal. The method used is to create a local hotspot which you then connect to, and the download signal gives 3 bars. Great !!
Yeah through Android it works great... The reason for the apps is unfortunately many carriers (especially in the US) lock out that feature on the phones to try and charge people to activate it. Any way to make an extra buck!
I just run FoxFi on my phone and that gives me a free wifi hotspot which I can access with my tablet. 3G, 4G, whatever I'm on, it works.
easy tethering
OK and thanks for that. I tried your method and while it did function OK compared with the method I used the download speed was very slow.
I have the hotspot option on my Motorola Atrix...... works VERY well...
Does anyone have a working tether app for the s4? I tried using the treve mod app and it wont work
sent from SGS4
Thanks in advance
Assuming you mean free wifi tether? My understanding is that JB has blocked FoxFi and it's kin. FoxFi's website has a chart to show which phones and OS levels it runs on. I did not expect it to run on my S4 and it does not. But PDANet+ (who has partnered with FoxFi now) does work for tethering.

I am rooted with stock rom. I have a droid incredible 4g with foxfi installed. The phone is on the list of phones that work with foxfi and im on the verizon network with unlimited data. I have pda.net tablet installed on my N7 and i cant get it to work using wifi. The tablet detects the foxfi network but wont connect. It is also asking me to install pda.net on my phone to connect which doesnt fix the problem. I have since removed pda.net from my phone and im at a loss here. Ive read over and over with no solutions, i must be missing something... Any help with instructions would be appreciated.
thanks

Have you tried WiFi Tether (requires root)? Works like a charm in my setup (Note 2 and Nexus 7 WiFi).

Haven't tried that, my incredible 4g is not rooted... I have to be missing something or doing something wrong because it should work.
Has anyone been able to get wifi tethering working on the amazon xt1625? I believe usb/bluetooth tethering would work through foxfi although I haven't confirmed it yet.

I have this phone since two weeks ago, i can turn on my wifi hotspot, but i dont know if i can share my connection through usb/bluetooth
I just checked to be sure and I can use wifi, usb and bluetooth tethering without any apps, just from settings.

Looks like it works with my verizon sim and ringplus (sprint sim), just not with freedompop (GSM sim).
Edit: freedompop gsm sim will work on foxfi usb tether via pdanet (not foxfi wifi, nor regular wifi/usb tether under settings). Kinda interesting.
WIFI TETHER for Sprint S7 Sorry for typo
I am on a Sprint S7 G930PVPS4APK1 ANDORID VERSION 6.0.1. I live in the sticks and wifi tether is the only way I can get high speed for home. The quick reboot method no longer works. I have rooted other phones, but am no expert, and hesitate to try rooting my S7. Can't afford the ins if I brick it.
I have found From lots of reading (thanks to many) that using PDAnet+ alows me to use USB tethering to a laptop. The lap top will then work as a WIFI hotspot with what seems like reasonable speed. I was able to use the wifi on a tablet and stream Netflix, which is what I really want. Works great. It will be worth the $8 bucks to unlock PDAnet for unlimited data. So this works as Jan 2017 for free wifi hotspot.. I have seen no other recent references to this. i should mention i have unlimited data so have not
I do have a question While the WIfi hotspot from the tethered laptop works great, I can not seem to get my Chrome cast to connect to it. I really need this. It satys problem connecting to wifi router. I can't figure out why. The only clue? I constantly get a pop up on the laptop saying intel intelligent wifi is disabled while app running? any ideas would be very helpful TIA
