You have to search from the non-connected devices, not the S4
How do I do that?

Pull up WiFI on the device you want connect, and have the list of available networks displayed, your hotspot will be one of them.
Yeah then you click on it I did that and it kept telling me my password was wrong.

Verify your password on your S4 in the Hotspot options by checking the box for "Show Password"
Use WPA2 Security
Try again
If you're positive it's right, try it as an open network.
O.k. thanks!!!

[Q] Mobile Network State Disconnected

I'm sure this has been asked before but I am finding nothing about it in my search so I'm asking for help here. I will attach a few screens to show my dilemma. I'm stuck on mobile network state disconnected. I am pretty sure my APN settings are correct. I am rooted and running Slim Bean build 8 as well.

Go to your APN and hit restore to default. Reboot and let it sit for a few minutes. Report back.

im on a gt9500 and tried this, but did not fix it for me. I have the issue while on GSM, WCDMA works fine.
Your phone doesn't come with default apns it is international. It reads the SIM and puts the generic APN settings in. You likely need to manually Input them

I had this problem on my Canadian Telus 9505 S4.. I tried the things in this Thread, and it didn't seem to work. What I ended up doing was downloading an application called "Tweakker" and it automatically detects your APN settings for you to enter manually, I did that, and then rebooted and it seemed to work for me. Hope I Helped somehow.

Tethering on the note 3 but not the g2

I have 4 days left to return this phone with 50$ restocking fee. Unrestricted tethering I is very important but is found on the note 3 but not the g2 T-Mobile from some developers. Will the g2 would ever have unrestricted tethering? Don't like note 3 size.

They already created a tethering mod for vzn I don't see why it is any harder for T mobile

What do you mean by unrestricted? T-Mobile tethering and wifi Hotspot work just fine. If you're trying to use tethering without noticing from the carrier, I use PDAnet. USB tethering works undetected.

Unrestricted Tethering

So is the only way to tether without restriction right now to use that toggle switch app? That somehow bypasses the check Verizon does?

It does the check, but when it tells you NO, just press the home button. Enjoy the WiFis
I couldnt get superbeam to work using the tethering toggle. I wanted to transfer files from asus tablet to note3 and the connection seemed solid but when I hit transfer I got the verizon data message again and again. Maybe Iam making things too hard using superbeam but I was able to connect the two devices.

Which app is this?
Is my assumption that the goal is "tethering without Verizon noticing and trying to change your plan" a correct assumption?

Mobile Hotspot Widget?

I turn my mobile hotspot on/off quite a bit and would love to use a widget to speed up the process. However, none of the widgets I have tried from the Play Store have worked. Has anyone had any luck with a mobile hotspot widget? Thanks!
There's an app called hotspot toogle widget. Works with my s2

Doesn't seem to work for me. I have the provision check being skipped, as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338
Could something with that be causing the widgets not to work?

Still seeking widget
Has anyone found a solution for this yet? Like the original poster, I use the Mobile Hotspot regularly to tether my LG Gpad 8.3 to my Verizon G2, and I would definitely like to reduce the steps necessary to establish the connection. I have no hotspot selection on the Q settings, nor do any widgets that I have found thus far work for the Mobile Hotspot feature. My guess is that Verizon removes that selection from the Quick settings because they do not want to make it easy to tether.
If I had more time to experiment with Tasker, there is probably a way around this. Can help with this, I would be greatly appreciative.
Or maybe you need to start looking at an alternate ROM
