Been avoiding doing the update as want to keep foxfi working.
Anyone know if it works with the 4.3 update yet?
Did they not implement WI-FI hotspot/ tethering natively from version 4.x of android it's under connections/more networks and it's still there in 4.3

Has anyone been able to successfully tether their phones to their Iconias via USB? So far my searches have only brought up WIFI tethering; and that is currently not an option for me (most recent OTA made rooting impossible for me for right now). Just curious if anyone has made any headway.

whicj ota?
gingerbreak is still working for latest OTA i think..
Seems ok, rooted on Android 3.0.1
When I first started my N7 it told me an update was available, so I downloaded it and installed it. The current version I have is 4.1.1, kernel is 3.1.10-g52027f9 and the build number is JRO03D.
Where there any features removed when this version was installed? Google seems to indicate it was a very minor update.
I ask this because I cannot find the BT tethering option that others have mentioned.
Does anyone know if i do the ota to 4.3 will i still have native wifi(did the fix posted on qbking77 site to get this to work free).
No root hotspot works on nougat & heres how to make it work because sprint patches it
This is what I did to get hotspot working!!! Long story short I was on a NOT ROOTED android 6.0 PGH or something like that signed up for samsung beta and took the 1st beta update which is android 7.0 version PKC and everything was working buttery smooth and then there was another beta ota update which is android 7.0 version PKK and when I took that update sprint actually patched the hotspot trick (rebooting phone to quickly turning on the hotspot) and btw im the one that originally discovered that trick when sprint grayed out the editing of APNs and I actually discovered that hotspot trick by complete mistake and frustration not going to lie lmaooo if you check that hotspot thread for the s7 edge youll see my post on that so yall welcomes lol anyways sprint patched the hotspot trick on version PKK so I found something on google where you can downgrade your android version using samsungs smartswitch for pc NOT THE ONE IN THE PLAYSTORE just google smartswitch for pc and link should pop up..I was able to downgrade my android version 7.0 using smartswitch back to 6.0 but the hotspot trick was still patched for whatever reason. I went into setting information about me about phone and it was the android version and baseband that I was originally on before I took the 1st beta update but hotspot didnt work..so I was pissed as hell and was like sprint finally got me after tethering their services for free since the OG htc evo first came out LOL..so I was like I'll update to nougat and call at&t in the morning to have them install a modem into my apartment. However I signed up for samsung beta a second time and took the 1st beta update and trying out my luck I tested the hotspot trick and it works!!!??? so when you take that 1st beta update I guess you have to stay on it to continue using hotspot because PKK patches it and if your already on PKK just get smartswitch for pc and do what I did..yall welcomes and be blessed peoples and sorry for the long rant lol AND PLEASE HIT THAT THANKS METER???

Not that useful cause you need to leave the Beta and risk losing your nougat firmware. Only way I'd try this is if I was desperate for hotspot. Thanks anyway.
Yeah im running a beta nougat and its not the official firmware but who says I have to leave beta if its running buttery smooth on my device therefore I'd be losing nothing??
I am traveling this weekend. I need to get hotspot working before then. My phone is all stock. Im no stranger to fastboot and adb. I just haven't needed to root or anything since hotspot worked for me out of the box. Since last update Google must have blocked it. I am on 8.1.0. I want to know, I have looked a bit here and info is a little scattered. I would like to the P but to have that and have stock I need to root to get to build prop correct? Or I can downgrade correct? If I downgrade, is there a way to keep changes and upgrade up to P? Thanks in advance!
No issues with hotspot on mine 8.1 witu may security update. Its more likely that your carrier has you provisioned wrong or blocks hotspot
