Ever since the G1, I have used the Wifi Tether app, which is now known as Wifi Tether TrevE Mod. Now Ijust upgraded from my S3 to the ATT S4, however seems it doesnt want to load up the tether, just starts with errors, checked various setup methods and a few threads that offer advice. Tho the one that talks about tetherprovisioning.apk is talking more about the built in hotspot, not the rooted wifi tether way.
So was wondering, anyone else have a stock s4 for att and is able to the wifi tether treve mod?
I usually like using this thing for when I want to make an "attwifi" hotspot so the 3DS can do its nintendozone thing. =)
Edit: Ok forgot to check the main website for updates. So just did that and went from the 3.2 beta 2 to the 3.3 version, however still no joy here, still saying starts with errors, cept NOW it wont show logs, just says doesnt exist. Not sure but I am gonna keep playing with this.
Bump. Anyone using this one still or actually managed to get it working?

I'm posting this to the newb thread because I've read 300 pages of posts on the NULL thread and found no answer, mostly because I believe I am missing a setting or something on the ROM? Would post to the Jellybean thread but im a rookie. ANYWAYS...
I have tried just about every Verizon ROM for the Galaxy Note 3 in an attempt to tether my galaxy gear over wifi with the GN3. Everything works fine when the phone isn't on WiFi, but soon as I connect the phone to wifi I get a "Tethering Disabled. WiFi is connected"
I've read about PDAnet and available apps but after reading the forums it becomes apparent that they cause other problems.
Users on Sprint, T-mobil, and other carriers have no problem with this, and since it's wifi and not vise-versa I have a hard time believing it's my carrier(and not the rom) I do pay for the tethering option through Verizon. Any help would be very much appreciated, as I have wifi everywhere and don't have great signal from the tower at work.
Cheers!
Hi guys,
I'm trying to tether my rooted S4 with FoxFi today and it has suddenly stopped working. It was working great until today, but now it launches the stock mobile tethering app (I believe it always did this, even when it was working), but then as soon as it launches, I get a notification that pops up from Verizon which says this feature is only allowed if you pay for a tethering subscription. Then it gives me a couple of options if I want to add that to my plan.
Anyone else getting this?
Suggestions?
Thanks

I got this as well today. haven't had time to figure out why. did you make any headway?
Hello,
I've been trying to enable tethering (BT, USB and WIFI) on my new S5 Active with no success. All the methods suggested here on XDA and on google did not work. It could be because this is an AT&T model.
Did anyone successfully did that?
Thanks
(I couldn't find a Galaxy S5 Active thread so I posted this question here)

"all the methods" is not really specific enough - you may have missed the one that works.
Either way you will need to be rooted. With the AT&T model, towelroot is the current method.
Once rooted you have two main options - an xposed module (there is one specifically for tethering, and wanam xposed has the entitlement check option as well), or replace the tethering provision apk with a hacked one. If you look over in the at&t forums you will find methods for both. While the xposed method MAY not work for the S5 active, I can't think of any reason why the other method wouldn't. Did you try either of those?
Also, without root, foxfi or clockworkmod tether should work, but they're only partial solutions.

I'm not sure of either of those. What I meant "everything" is editing the settings.db.
Yes I tried FoxFi and it cannot tether via BT to my car or to an iPad. This is what I've tried so far.
Can you please elaborate on this wanam xposed method that may work?
Forgot to add, my phone is rooted with towelroot.
Thanks

Ah, the settings.db method doesn't work for kitkat I believe.
You should probably go read up about xposed if you don't know about it already, but briefly, you need to be root to install the xposed framework.
Then, once xposed is installed and active, you choose different modules to install. wanam xposed is one specific one that has a lot of tweaks for Samsung in it. If you browse around the settings there is one that is to disable the entitlement check.
xposed is not for everyone, because modules can cause weird behavior on your phone (for example mine was giving me the battery cover popup often when unlocking my screen, not just when rebooting, and even more weird is the occasional speakerphone enabling without it really being enabled, or automatically enabled when the phone is not against my ear). But I have to admit, some of those modules are darned useful.
Anyway there are a couple good threads about tethering over in the AT&T GS5 forums.
The wanam module I installed has only one setting related to tethering and it's enabled.
I was asking specifically about the S5 ACTIVE model since it's AT$T proprietary and I have a feeling that has something to do with it.
Ah well, I guess I have to wait someone to figure this one out.
Thanks
T-mobile Xposed & Xtether worked for me
But only for 1 night... I watched a movie, went ta sleep. Woke up the next morning & it never worked again. Lets me enable the hotspot still & connect but doest lrt me online with any devices. Somene told mr to try Ua agent switcher for chrome, but that didnt seem to work ether... smh. Looking for other options asap.
The only way I was able to get tethering to work on my S5 Active was to use Foxfi's USB method.

I tried FoxFi too, but my main thing is to share my phone's connection to my car. FoxFi can't do that because it needs special software installed on the receiving station and obviously you can't do that on a car.
I was using my iPhone jailbroken with TetherMe. Question is if such software exists for Android.
Replace the tethering provision apk with a hacked one works on the galaxy S5 Active, at least on mine it did. You will still get the warning but after it goes away tethering starts up fine, all tethering works, wifi, usb and bluetooth.
Quick video on my S5 active using unlimited att data plan, I also found a way to get around the att throttling of the unlimited data plan about 5 months ago, I will admit, it will be very easy for att to stop or correct, so I will selfishly keep to myself as I know it would be abused but will say it requires no root.:good:

Can you elaborate more on the bluetooth part? I don't care about WiFi or USB tethering, they work right out the box. Bluetooth is what's been bugging me because my car needs that to display traffic and other info on the navigation screen.
What I saw from your video is that you have USB and WiFi tethering option (as I do) but NO bluetooth.
Can you confirm BT works too without having to install 3rd party software on the client side? If yes, can you share that apk?
Thanks

Well I may have not explained well, this is really for people who have unlimited data or a plan that doesn't natively allow tethering. Also while usb and wifi tethering that is built in works, since there is no native bluetooth you must use third party software, foxfi I can verify works via DUN but is slow, just need to install foxfi, and create a dial up network, probably won't work with what your wanting since I believe you need a PAN network.

FoxFi does not work. It's the first app I've tried. It needs a proprietary client software installed on the receiving station. Useless for me.
On the plan, I'm not worried about that, I've been tethering my iPhone 5 forever with no problems so far.
Now that you mentioned I need a bluetooth PAN, I installed a PAN module but it says /system/bin/pand could not be found on your phone.
It's a new thing to look for. If I can find a pand that works on S5, I have a feeling I'll be in business.
Thanks
Ya DUN requires nothing installed on the client but isn't the preferred way now a days but does work. But in your case it would be useless.
Can anybody with a Sprint/Verizon or Unlocked Galaxy S5 check and see if there's a file named pand in /system/bin? And if yes, can you please share it? I think only AT$T's versions don't have it
Thanks
I have a Tab 4 cellular model (T237P.05) on the Sprint network. For various reasons I would like to remove/disable/hide the stock Sprint Zone app. I have done some searching and cannot seem to find a way to do this without rooting the device. There has to be a way to get rid of this, along with the other useless apps that come with the device. Help please!!

Root your tablet and then Titanium Backup can get rid of any and all useless apps you want. That's how I did it back when my devices (Tab 4 10.1 and Galaxy S4 Active) didn't have any custom roms or much developer support.
Not trying to be a jerk. But to get rid of those useless apps that you can't just uninstall (i.e. System Apps) you need root access. Which is a lot easier and way less scary than you might think
I may give it a try. I just didn't want to run into issues with my cellular data or any hardware problems with bluetooth or wifi or the cameras, etc. I rooted an HP Touchpad to Android a few years ago so maybe this won't be as bad. Thanks!
