Wifi tether?

Is there a current method to do wifi tether on either Verizon or AT&T variant so far?

So from what I gather, at the time of this reply, the only working AT&T tether option is still only FoxFi via USB or bluetooth. Anyone have newer info than that? I have FoxFi USB tether working on my laptop no problem, but my Nexus 7 is still out in the cold.

I have the Verizon G2. This worked for me, but you need to be rooted - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338

ATT GS4 Moved to T-Mobile and hotspot

So my friend recently just moved over to Tmobile from ATT. He unlocked his ATT GS4 and with Tmobile the hotspot is enabled on the plans however in this case the app gives an error when he tries to turn it on.
So, how can we get the hotspot functioning on his ATT GS4 thats now on Tmobile?
TIA

Look for the enable tethering thread in the general section. It's probably checking for the AT&T tethering plan do you'll need to do that to make it work.

MJE / 4.3 anyone uses hotspot . wifi tether?

*****MY PHONE*****
Root Verizon Galaxy Note 3
Model Number: SM-N900V
Build Number: N900VVRUBMJE
Android 4.3
*****PHONE IS ROOTED*****
Used these instructions

*****HOTSPOT / WIFI TETHER OPTIONS****
So from what I've been reading there are a few:
OPTION 1 - Install rom where hotspot can be used
OPTION 2 - Buy FoxFi
*****QUESTION*****
Has anyone else gotten this to work without flashing a new rom or paying for an app?
I know I've spend more money via time spent researching this....I supposed Verizon's cheap tactic of forcing users with unlimited data plans to pay an additional fee to use something they already are paid for is a "dirty" business tactic (that's life.....) is feeding my flame of rebellion right now....but I may throw in the towel and just buy the app. I don't like option 1 because I don't want to mess around with backups/restores right now and I don't like the security feature/s you have to use when using FoxFi.

Extract the framework apk and replace it with the one in the phone. That's it. You can add a toggle for it. I made I write up in general section on how to do this. There's also a xposed app for it I think it's called moto tether.

I would like to use the paid service, not the nodded from CyanogenMod.

I want to use the service that you would normally have to pay for, not the native hotspot. I need to find out how to stop CyanogenMod 12 from blocking the hotspot check and provisioning. How would I do this? I only get 2.5 gigs of high speed data and can buy 2 gigs of hotspot for my phone. I have virgin mobile BTW.

Oreo Update killed my Cricket Hotspot!!!

I've been using my unlocked G6 on Cricket because hotspot works great. I made the mistake of updating to Oreo the other day and, of course, hotspot quit working. I can connect devices to the hotspot but can't get online. Diagnostics say DNS Failed. I've been down this road before with a few ZTE devices. Anyone know how the Oreo update could kill Hotspot ability?????

Any way to roll back to the point before I installed Oreo and the Sept. security update?

Bro saw some you tubers say to be careful with Hotspot on cricket if not added to account. They say cricket just turns off account.
Maybe call customer support and ask? Also try a different phone with your Sim and see if Hotspot works.
Good luck

Thanks for the response!! Set up my brand new NON-UPDATED G6 this morning and Hotspot works just fine with my Cricket sim. Just did a complete factory reset on the G6 I let upgrade to Oreo and it still won't hotspot with my Cricket sim. I wonder if it was Oreo or the Sept. security update that killed my Cricket Hotspot?
