Tether stopped working

I got the nexus Monday and put in cyanogen mod now when I tether I'm getting the up sell page for hotspot any ideas?

That's because you didn't buy the hotspot feature for your phone. The page will continue to pop up to tell you to add and pay for the feature to continue tethering.

Poppycock. OP, just get Firefox and get the extension that allows you to change your user agent. Once tmobile sees a mobile device they will allow tethering.
Google is your friend.

Did you ever get any help with this? I have been reading the Note 2 post, and I think I may have read the whole thing from where they started talking about the S4 till the end, as well as about half the rest. I cannot get my S4 to get data working at all. I am in need of the Nandroid backup as well, unless you got it and it didn't work for you.

Nope no one seems to want to help ..but I have gotten the 3g function to work on the s4 by flashing the correct aaa passwords still cannot update profile or prl

Thanks! I had made it CDMA only, but not in there, in ##DATA#.
You know what, this means that I may have gone through all the headache for nothing. I'll start over and we'll see, it may all work without need of *2/activation.

Yeah the *2 method will not work unless the s4 was previously activated on a sprint account

Well, changing the data to CDMA didn't work either. I also have been reading on Nandroid backups that may help with this, and I think what we would need is the carrier. Someone said that EFS is ok to share, but carrier one would have user specific data once it has been activated. So, I guess my fix will be to get them activated on a Sprint line first, then go through the flash.
Thanks for your help!

WiFi tether

Do any of the apps from the market work to bypass the check? Like WiFi hot spot. I need to be able to tether. Seeing how no root or unlock. Can someone try this and test?
Also if it pops up and says Verizon you need subscription try just hitting the home button to close the message and see if it activates.

Odds are, FoxFi will work. Few devices don't work with it. Root will most likely happen hours after the devs get the device. DesignGears has a root for ATT's GN3, and with our Odin file, someone should be able to port that to verizon in a very short time.

I appreciate the reply bang, but I'm with black hat and it would be great if someone who has theirs can check and confirm with certainty. I know I can just wait until I get mine tomorrow but if someone can give us a heads up it would be wonderful. It's one of the biggest features for me.

Well, it comes down to when/if we get root. With root, all of the tethering apps SHOULD work. Without, only FoxFi may. Pop over to the ATT forums and ask if someone would check out FoxFi to see. Their is gonna be the closest representation to ours until tomorrow.

Funny, it seems this is a question still unanswered across the forums... Lots of conjecture and "probably", but nobody has actually tried it and confirmed yet. imablackhat, let us know when you find out.

Just download hotspot toggle from the Play Store, it works just as good and its a widget

That's not what is being asked here. We all know what tethering apps are out there. We're looking for confirmation that the Verizon Note 3 can wifi tether.

That works with just a out every phone... It enables less the default hotshot and bypasses activation checker...

Again, with all due respect, we're NOT looking for predictions and "it should work".
Just a simple question. Can someone who actually OWNS the Verizon Note 3 just confirm that it works or doesn't work.

If someone gets me a framework-res.apk ill tell you if its possible to natively bypass the check or permanently disable it.

I am able to tether with PDANet but the FoxFi WiFi gives me a message from Verizon and doesn't activate.

Have you tried to hit the Home button on that message instead of hitting OK? It should keep the WiFi tether active with FoxFi. Saw this trick, I think on the AT&T N3 board.

Yep. I got the phone and it works without root. Just says you can't do that and hit home to close that message and ignore it and keep tethering active.

Wifi tether for rooted users

Has anyone got this apk to work for the note 3? Is It Possible? I just want a tether apk that tells me the amount of data that's being used and this one is the only one I know of that does that correctly.

Which one? I can only get the native to work on my note three bypassing it with the hotspot toggle switch widget found on the market, but I rather use the a different one like open garden. but I have no luck making it work.

Bummer. Hopefully there will be a version that works with GN3 in the future, will use FoxFi ib the meantime

I found you can use wifi tether in native tether mode, but it resets the hot spot settings to default every time you turn it on. I, too, would like it to work properly because I like seeing how much data I use and the network speed.

I don't understand, what you are looking for. WLAN-Hotspot ist built in every stock rom, just switch it on, pull down the status bar, find the icon, and thats it.

I'm looking for a app that will let me use my phone as a Wifi hot spot for free....

And here is your problem - SM-N900P I believe is the Note 3 from Sprint, which:
- has the standard Note 3 hotspot app removed/blocked by Sprint
- has a completely different forum around here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint
You should read/ask there!
