Sprint wifi hotspot - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just purchased a samsung galaxy s4 from the HTC EVO where I use to have the cyanogen 7.1.
Very nice upgrade if I don't say so myself.
I noticed in the wifi settings that there's the enable hotspot .
Is this free from sprint or is this something that I'll get charged from?
Regards

ATT didn't detect?

I'm just wondering, I am currently using the MT4G on the ATT network, but i'm wondering why they didn't detect its a smartphone and add the smartphone data plan. Is it because its rooted and S=off?
My sister has the Nexus One, which isn't rooted, S=on.
When she uses the internet, ATT detects she has the smartphone and adds the dataplan.
I'm using the internet every single day and they haven't detected anything so far.
Nice screw at&t

I'm using at&t also its been a month so far... no smartphone data plan yet... but I think it has to do with the imei number for your phone... I'm assuming at&t doesn't have tmobile mytouch imei's in the database.

Custom Roms and Tethering Detection?

I am new here to Aria and ATT. I was wondering if ATT can detect tethering on all Cusom Roms?

Yes... It's where the data terminates is how they can detect it. That and packet inspection.
I guess no one has figured out a way to stop detection like the devs on the cdma carriers.

ClockworkMod's new Tethering app is supposed to be undetectable -- although the app itself is not free (you can use it for a few weeks as a trial though) and it only supports USB tethering. Still might be worth a look: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/1Yy1jb9z4TA
You won't find it on the Market though because AT&T has blocked it. You'd have to sideload it.
Thanks. Pda supposedly has a stealth mode. I wonder how good that is compared to clockwork?

my HTC Aria rooted and using CY7 (nightlies) tethered to a laptop and to an HTC tablet with AT&T service. Didn't do it much, but did use it on several occasions, never had an AT&T problem..

3G and Talk

Hello,
Just wondering if there is anyway to get 3G and voice at the same time? I know this is do able over 4G but just wondering if it's available over 3G like the GS3 can. Thanks!

On the Sprint GS4, no only on WiFi or LTE.

Buy an Evo 4G LTE on Ebay and activate it. For some reason Samsung didn't include SVDO in the S4.

Lol. I have an EVO LTE and a Galaxy S3. No need to go back to those. NV is going on where I live so I'm not to worried. Was just wondering if it was something the devs here could change.

Its not possible to change it since its a physical thing on the phone. Not software.

Okay. I never knew it was a physical thing within the phone. That's good to know though. Seems like Samsung or Sprint would have included this.

Other carriers do, not Sprint. Probably because their network is so terrible.

New user. ..

I just switched from the note 2 from Verizon to the g2 on sprint. The employee told me not to get this phone because of data issues. I said whatever and got it anyway.. So now its acting up..lol I cant seem to find any fix that would solve me problem. They're currently rolling out 4g in my area. Im fed up with this on the first day. Im in the process of trying dialer codes now but they are not working... If anybody.....anybody can help please help a brother out.

What Android version are you running? I've seen a few with 4.3 having connection issues.

Need Hotspot fix for my rooted SPH-L720T

My beloved L720 shortcurcuit over the weekend because of a faulty USB cable. Asurion sent me a brand new S4 but unfortunately it's a 720T .Already rooted which triggered Knox but who cares Sprint hardly covers anything these days. My problem now is that I don't have Internet I've been using my Hotspot to surf the net for a few months now until i can afford Internet again. So can anyone direct me to a Hotspot fix for the 720T? Thanks in advance.

I'll trade you my regular gs4 for the triband
So you aren't looking for a hotspot fix but rather a hotspot hack.

No hack for the triband. If you read the triband specific threads someone has found a playstore wifi tether app that works, but is not as good as the hotspot mod.
Sad to hear .

Its because the lack of developers having the Triband version. Most get it right away so that's why most devs have the regular version.

Working tethering! ! ! ! ! !! !
Hey everyone, I got Wifi Tethering Router to work on my rooted SPH-L720T, this should also work on SPH-L720. The app worked with the basic settings, no configurations required.
