Just wanted to put this out there since I haven't seen anyone talking about it yet.
I was working with a friends ATT Note 3. I rooted it for him and then began working on modding the native hotspot. When I went to make the smali edits I saw that they were already there. So I fired up the hotspot and it worked. I am assuming this is also true if you are completely stock unrooted but didn't check first.
So if you have not rooted yet please test your hotspot and let us know the results. If you are rooted then the hotspot is definitely open.

That is odd. Maybe his account is messed up. Because he swears he never paid for the hotspot. But the mod which makes the native hotspot work on Sprint devices is already included in the rooted system, again didn't verify the non rooted system. So not sure what is up.

When you turn on your hotspot, if you get a message to call at&t, just press the home button (don't press ok). This should work for you, as it worked for me and many others. And the guy on the previous page that said "press the hinge button", he ment the home button.

Tried this widget and native tethering works with ATT. No need to freeze Tethering Provision, no need for FoxFi. Just install the widget as stated by mm3th and place on your home screen. Then press it, once the "call 611" comes up, hit the home button. You can even configure it without a problem.

Wifi hotspot should work out of the box if you have any mobile share plan. The only group of people who will need any type of third party mode will be those with the grandfathered unlimited. AT&T does not allow hotspot on the unlimited.

Are you using the built-in tethering app? Do you ever get redirects to the t-mobile upsell page when you use tethering on your computer?
For me, I can't even connect on my computer without either using Opera Browser or a UA-String change in Firefox. But I cannot do anything to make the PS3 not detect that I'm on t-mobile and block my connection. The PSN connection just "times out" because t-mo is blocking it.
Arrgghh
Edit: just saw you are in Beirut, not even on T-Mo USA I'm assuming lol. That could be why you have luck and I don't. DAMNIT!
I'd try using a 3rd party tether app. Namely the one that has its own google code page.

I have had similar issues tethering my PS3.
Carrier: T mobile 70/month unlimited plan
Phone: Nexus 4
Initially, tethering worked for all PS3 applications (PSN, browser, netflix, system update). Then, they blocked PSN activity after a month or so. A few months later they blocked browser, but I could still use netflix and do system updates. Now nothing works. I have tried to use a wifi repeater in between the PS3 and Nexus 4 but still no dice, though I did not experiment too much with settings?
Id love to get my PS3 back online.

You guys really shouldn't use your phone data's download to download updates or games. Just use it to play online. It doesn't use up bandwidth to play. Heck I can play black ops 2 for an hour with tether and I use up like 30mb an hour. If you use it for downloading you're really going to have a red flag on your account.

For those that want to tether but don't want to pay your carrier for it...
Root is required.
1) Download your favorite SQL editor. I use SQLite Editor.
2) Open and grant root access.
3) Scroll down and find Settings Storage
4) Choose settings.db (duh)
5) Go down to line 65 and change the value for entitlement check from 1 to 0.
6) Reboot.
7) Profit.
Historically this has stuck through updates as the databases don't change when you update.
Thank you jcase for root!

No need to buy SQLite Editor
For those who don't want to pay for the SQLite Editor app, you can still gain wifi tethering/hotspot with this free alternative.
1. Download the free apps aShell and aSQLiteManager from Play Store.
2. Launch aShell, check the "Root" box, then hit "File Explorer" button.
3. Browse to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases, and open up settings.db with aSQLiteManager.
4. Now choose the "settings" table, hit "Data" button.
5. "PgDn" until you see "65. entitlement_check" and change that value from 1 to 0.
You're done! Restart and wifi tethering/hotspot will work now.

Yeah it's annoying to have that. I also found foxfi to have random drops in connection so streaming or gaming was affected. The stock app is much more stable with connection.
Yeah. I was thinking Foxfi too til I realized it cripples touchless control due to forcing a lock screen. Then root came and I didn't care anymore

Yes FoxFi does still work. It does however get finicky and not wanna work sometimes for me. I even have to uninstall and reinstall sometimes before getting it but yes it does work. You must let foxfi install the VPN, have a pattern lock screen set, and also have "nolockscreen" typed for the hash tag or hash code, whatever its called. Even then like I said I still have problems sometimes but it's only since the latest Verizon update that I've had any issues at all. Thankfully though u can still get it working.

The stock hotspot does the same thing.
I use Beans ROM which tethers fine without FoxFi (I have the paid version of FoxFi but don't even bother to install it anymore) or any other software but it does close after not using it for a while.
Got this from the G2 thread so I take no credit. Just tried it out and it works 100% thought I'd share.
What you'll need:
Root
Root explorer (or something similar)
SQLite editor
1. Activate the hot spot initially in the user interface settings, once it rejects to turn on the hotspot.
2. In root explorer goto data>data>com.android.provider.settings>system>databases>settings.db>systen
3. Press search button then type tether
4. Tap on tether_entitlement_check_state goto the value and edit to 0. Save then reboot phone.
All done. Below is the original G2 thread so make sure to give thanks over there.

It also depends if sprint uses the hot spot provision apk (or whatever they might call it). If they do you can use xposed and x tether to get around it by freezing the provision apk with titanium back up and installing xposed frame work that the x tether module. Below is how they did it for the Galaxy S5.

It all depends on how they tether. If they use an app to verify tether then no but if it's a simple number value ran against their systems like how AT&T is then yes. If you have tibu I'd do a search in there for the word tether and see if they use an app to verify you
