All,
I am eligible for an upgrade in two days and am thinking of pulling the trigger on the VZW G2, but only if there is a way (w/o paying verizon) to wifi tether (mobile hotspot). I currently have the galaxy nexus and use the "wifi tether" app for tethering (my galaxy nexus is rooted). However, from my research this app and others do not work. Is there a way to wifi tether from the verizon G2?
Thanks
There is a mod listed in the dev area with good directions for installing.

It could be a feature not enabled in your plan. I would check there first
It's not part of my plan. I'm trying to do it "on the sly".
I was hoping I could get Wi-Fi tether to make the Nexus 4 appear as an access point, and not ad-hoc, but I haven't been able to get it to do that. Anyone else had luck?

Can anyone help?? I've looked everywhere. I can connect to the hotspot, just not to the internet. Same thing happens with the hotspot on my Galaxy Tab. Both are with ATT.

AT&T actively blocks teather if you don't pay for it. Not sure of a work around as they are blocking it from there end not the phones end. That said some of the thethering apps claim to be able to defeat this, the one Koush made, clockworkmod tether, comes to mind but it only has a 14 day free trial, $4.99 after that. It also requires a desktop client to be installed. Also is this plain AT&T or Straight Talk AT&T? Straight Talk limits you to 100 MB of data per day with a 2 GB cap. If you go over either they throttle you to 2G speeds for the rest of the month.
Regular ATT, not straight talk. Looks like the clockworkmod tether is usb only.....
Try WiFi tether for android.

Tried it.
possibly APN settings?
I just rooted the G2(vzw) and I tried 3 different tethering apps from the playstore and none work. It doesnt even broadcast a signal.
On barnacle it says "WIFI: Could not sed ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on trasnport endpoint"
I'm not a heavy data user, but I do need to tether since there is no ISP in my area (just 56k ('yes i said that) and satellite which is ridiculously expensive).
The Att version g had a built on tethering app did u freeze or uninstall that if you did unfreeze it..I just turned tethered on my g2

I have the verizon verison therefore if I try the built in app I get the pop-up saying I need the subscription. I'm grandfathered into the unlimited data.
Same here. No go just yet. Usb tethering works (Fox fi) but no wireless tether yet. (Verizon unlimited here)

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.

the only reason i root is to use this app and ive had zero luck with it in the note 3. There is an issue thread on the google code page for it but seems a dead end

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.

Is there any risk in using native tether app? I am coming from tmobile, where they'd hassle you to get a tethering plan.

I don't think so. I use it pretty regularly without issues.

Search in the nexus 5 forum. There is a fix there.

Anyone have 4.4 16S on Tmo US tethering completely stock without root yet?
I'm pretty angry that I lost my ability to tether with this update and really don't want to root!

I see that you have made the same post over 4 threads. Tethering is fine, unless you did the LTE hack. Since you're not rooted, you did not do the LTE hack? Which then, this would not affect you anyway.

Absolutely, because I know threads get buried on this board on an hourly basis.

Care to detail your setup because I'm not the only one with this problem? Me: completely stock never rooted, never unlocked N4 4.4 16S Tmo US and could tether all day/night until the recent OTA from JB.

Can you provide any further information on why exactly this is the case? I am indeed enjoying unlimited tethering, (just got off the phone with Tmo and they told me I should be throttled, my speedtest says otherwise) using the LTE hack. I am curious if I should be worried about setting off any red flags by using either too much data or by using the wrong type of data. For example streaming Netflix, etc. I would like to understand more about Tmo's monitoring and how it relates to this LTE hack.

Don't listen to that. I use to tether over lte with my N4 before of cracked using KK. T-Mobile never said anything, nor did they cease my service.

Hi everyone,
As the title says, is there a way to tether with giffgaff. I don't think the £12 goodybag includes tethering so I tried using various root apps and a vpn but no luck. Does anyone know of a way or should I just give up and switch to threes One plan? I have a nexus 4, rooted running 4.3.1 slimrom. One other thing, I am looking to WIFI tether, not USB. Thanks in advance
Probably not the most helpful answer but tethering worked fine for me on 4.3.1 on giffgaff (£10 goodybag). You are right in that the £12 goodybag doesn't include tethering. Try looking at the T-Mobile tethering threads and the various apps like barnacle tether for more help.

I've tried that barnacle app already. It's fine though, I just gave up and decided to go with threes one plan, my sim should arrive in a few days and it includes tethering :thumbup:

Are you using a factory unlocked phone, or one from a network? Id say network. In that case it won't work as they will probably have blocked it. I made a mistake of buying a phone from 3 rooting, changing carrier but tethering would not work. My factory unlocked phone allows tethering on any network wireless or wired
