@scottguest11 didn't say that - he only said that FoxFi seems to work well.

Try the app "Tether Setting" (noboru) - this relies on a bug in the VZW hotspot app where the hotspot starts running even though the nag screen about not having signed up for a paid service pops up. The trick is to not press the "cancel" button when that popup dialog appears, but to navigate away from that by pressing the Home button. (Also, this app requires few privileges compared to FoxFi)
This works for MJ7 - I don't know about MJE. If you have MJE maybe you could give it a roll and report back here.
[Edit] I just stumbled across this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564777
while looking for something else. Kinda suggests that toggle hack won't work on pure MJE ... but there is a framework mod available. Might just be a better idea to cough up the $8 though.
I'm using Foxfi, but I've noticed that while tethering to my iPad, it seems to be able to only use one app at a time. I usually play Spotify, and it pauses anytime a notification pops up, and it also pauses if I use any other app. Not happy with it at all!
I can't seem to get it to work. Will the free foxfi work at all? I have no problem with paying the 8 but the free won't work so i don't wanna get it and it not work. I also tried noboru WiFi settings with no luck.

FoxFi works smoothly with MJE. Paid version of FoxFi.
As of the 26th Verizon blocked the app again, now the folks at foxfi have to find the way around again to make it work agai, well at least thats what im experiencing

I just tried Foxfi on my note 3 and its's still working for me. I don't like how it shows tethering when I going to settings and check on the data that I've used though. So I'm not using it anymore. Looks like I'm going to root and either install a ROM which I really don't want to do, don't want to hassle that crap. So I'll probably do the little script change or line change whatever it is that allows the hotspot to work.
Never mind my last comment, I deleted the app reinstalled and working fine again

Yea foxfi works on the free or paid version and it is working on MJE. the only difference in the paid and free is that the free only lasts for 30 minutes then it turns off and you just have to go restart the hotspot
Found a different app that costs less, and works without the various steps like foxfi.
Doesn't seem to have a widget, takes some time to load the app, and turn on the wifi tether, but works well.
On updated 4.3, MJE, rooted.
Program is called wifi tether router - fabio grasso

I have used the same settings for this app on the S3, and Note 2, however it fails on the Note 3. Anyone know what settings to use to get it to work?
I'm not sure man, I was using on my n2 as well but I assumed I needed to be rooted to run it on the n3, I could be wrong, that's just what I assumed but then I read about people using the Foxfi app from the play store and it working great so I gave it a shot and it's done good by me so far, however I haven't ran it longer than about an hour so far. And the only trick to get it working is once u download the app and turn hotspot/tethering on, you will get a pop up saying u need to set it up with verizon or something along those lines, DO NOT hit cancel, instead just push the home button and you'll have mobile hotspot working. I use it to give wifi to my nexus 7.2 that's installed in my dash of my car and I run Google maps n music all the time. So far so good, but like I said I do need to give it the test of time still and see how it holds after a few hours of use. Hope this helps ya maybe? I agree though, I'm Def a fan of the TrevE mod wifi. It always ran fantastic.

Yes, wifi tether / treve mod needs root. I am currently using it with the S3, waiting for GN3 to be delivered. In the past, I would either post questions on wifi tether forum or email the development team, which generally resolved any issues that arose. Maybe someone already has it working on another carrier? Should check ATT, T-Mobile and Sprint GN3 forums
Im sure the settings probably just need to be configured slightly different from the N2 to get it to work! TrevE is my go to tether app...the stock hotspot sucks imo.
bump... I'd like to see this working too. It's nice to see how much data and what speed you are getting. I have yet to get WiFi Tether working on any variant of Android 4.3 though.
You don't need any apps. configure wifi hot spot then turn it on. A Verizon pop up comes up about wifi hot spot subscription, don't press cancel. Done.
Cancel turns it off the hotspot, just press the home key and that's it.

It is my experience that Wifi Tether has always been more stable than the Verizon app, I get constant drops with it.
I have a rooted Note 3 (SM-N900T) and although I am from the UK and I bought a US phone, everything is still thankfully working properly. I am with 3 (Mobile Carrier) and I have an unlimited internet plan which has been upgraded to 4G.
I was wondering what exactly is the best way to share my internet plan so I can tether my phone to my laptop and maybe even let it act like a hotspot. I have tried LOADS of apps including WiFi Tether, Baranacle, FoxFi and many more and for whatever reasons, they all don't seem to be working. 1 of the reasons I originally rooted my phone was to able to freely tether it (As I've paid top dollar beforehand) and now none of apps seem to be working.
Am I missing something ?

Through a little searching on the Note 4 threads, I found what was working for them, and simply tried it on my Edge.
-Installed the Galaxy Tools app, (not on playstore, see link below) opened app and enabled Native Hotspot.
-Rebooted, configured Native Hotspot, rebooted again.
-Started Native Hotspot, connected to PC. Initial connection took a minute, but it works great. :good:

Excellent find but you need to be rooted for this to work. The software is so smart it tells you this when you try! Believe me, I just tried it with an unrooted Edge.

Hmmm... I did it last week. I don't recall there being anything special I did other than click on the "Enable Native Hotspot" button and then I clicked on "Add all Notifications Toggles" down below that in order to add the "Mobile hotspot" toggle to the Notification bar drop down.

1. You can't do it if you are in the area of an AirRave
2. You must have "CMDA/LTE" selected in the more mobile networks options. ---Although, once you are done and back in the area you are staying in and don't need a hotspot, choosing CDMA only get's a MUCH better signal.
Then yes, the GalaxyTools app will work.
If you select CDMA only do you still get 4G since you are not selecting LTE?

I for some reason could not get this to work. I read this thread and the other and still cant figure out why. After i select enable and reboot, when i go to turn on the tether it gives me the nag and i lose data signal and then it shuts down. I am rooted and i had cdma selected in the main menus. Any ideas?

5. grabbed galaxy tools from the play store?
6. enjoying freeness?
Did 1-4, root confirmed with supersu and titanium backup and a few other apps that require root. Got galaxytools from the above note4 thread. Tried both methods in gtools app. Both ended up with same result. No tether. Tried both with cdma only selected in settings. Both resulted in tether starting, then immediately lose data signal, then nag about not having the tether plan, then tether closing.

Ok two questions are you doing a Profile update after you run the program? If so you are rewriting the modification and that will remove the ability to use the tether hence the statement that you don't have a data plan with tether message.
2nd Do you have a Airrave? If so you CANT USE the tether with that running, also if your towers are not running well in your area you will see the lost data connection at times, simply turn the tether on again or your local towers don't have the capacity to use the tether at this time. Which leads to the question have you used it anywhere else other then where you have tried to use it now? (i.e in a location with better towers)

looks like the sprint version is Not working dated 11/26 ?? Did you go the tmobile route? Can you explain which route you went to Root the sprint version?
I initially tried the spring method and when it didnt work i ended up flashing the tmobile version. Im guessing this tether thing doesnt work because of the towers around here. Although the sprint coverage map doesnt show it working here, i do get the spark icon at the top. I hadnt been updating profile or any of that other stuff, it just doesnt work even in cdma only. Im sure somebody will make a rom soon that will get tethering working
Thanks

I searched around before deciding to make a new thread. Did not see anything specific to what I had a question about, unless it is buried deep in another thread.
Is there a suggested de-bloat list for the Verizon Note 3 running on the OB6 Lollipop firmware? For NON-ROOTED phones.
What I have turned off so far has not caused any issues seen yet.
I would like to make sure that the packages that track data usage are turned off, as well as any apps that report back to Verizon.
Would greatly appreciate if someone could post even a partial list to get this started.
I would also like to add that I am using the free version of FoxFi and tether is working!
You install FoxFi, then when you try to check the start tether box for the first time, it will make you setup a lock screen pin/pattern. After that it will install a certificate.
Once you have that done, when you try to enable tether again, it pops up a message that will take you to the Default built in tether. Once you click to enable that, tether starts working.
Here is something odd I noticed.
You can go back into the FoxFi app once you are tethered and working, then turn off tether WITHIN the FoxFi app. The default hotspot app remains enabled and continues to work.
Anyone else notice this? Also wondering if the FoxFi data limit is still imposed after you turn the tether off in its app.

Unless you are on a grandfathered unlimited data plan, Verizon's Hotspot should already be usable even without WiFi. Last I saw...all Verizon tiered data plans included hotspot.

Hi all,
After a long research and playing with different options, I finally found a way to make Foxfi work again on my Verizon Unlimitted data, none rooted, OG5 with latest update. I'm not gurantte that it will work for everyone because I only tested on my phone. So feel free to try out my method and if you blow up your device, it's your fault and your responsiblity. Once you able to bypass VZ lock down, you should able to connect normally WITHOUT have to go through all the steps. Enough said let try it out
1) Turn off your 4G, turn on your wifi.
2) Open foxfi and follow through until it failed by VZ message.."please call bahbahbah", hit cancel when you see the message
3)Switch to wifi and disconnect it from connecting to your router (open the connection then hit forget). Now your wifi is on but you shouldn't have internet
4)Close your Foxfi then reopen, then go through the process again, but at the end you will received a message that it unable to connect, hit cancel.
5) Now turn off your wifi and turn on your 4G, try to connect with foxfi and it should prompt you to enable hot spot in settings, launch settings and turn on hotspot. Bang, you should be sucess!!!
Once this is done, next time you just launch your foxfi the normal way, no need to go through these steps again.
Please provide feed back and good luck.
Well I heard that Foxfi is working again, don't know how/why?? but it's working, so no need to try anything. Thread closed.
How reliable is the paid version of FoxFi? I used it in the past on my S4 before I rooted it and it worked fine, but it was only the free version. Aside from the 500 meg-per-use limit, I had no problem. I tried it briefly a little earlier and it didn't work, but I might have missed a step. Almost forgot to mention, but after installing and running the app for the first time, a message appeared saying 'Network may be monitored'. Should I be worried about this? Thanks.

Download this app, run it and it should remove foxfi lock screen. http://pdanet.co/help/RemoveLock.apk
After that you can set your own lock screen

If you try to use the built-in mobile hotspot, it'll respond by telling you to either call Verizon or visit their site to enable that feature. With FoxFi, it allows you to use the mobile hotspot without having to pay extra for the convenience of it. You open the app, start it, then tap the button that redirects you to the mobile hotspot feature built into the phone. Basically, the app bypasses the need to enable the hotspot through your carrier. The full version is only $7.95 and you have about seven days, I think, to try it out. I'd recommend installing the 'Remove Lock' app mentioned in this thread should you choose to try FoxFi, since the app requires you to set either a password or pin lock due to it creating a VPN when first used. I've been using it for a while and it works as well as any rooted Android phone with the hotspot feature enabled. Hope this helps.

Simple answer, the build in hot-spot you have to pay for Verizon data service plan. With Foxfi you pay 7$ one time fee and use it forever...

No, not at all. Nothing on my bill indicate useage...
Per VZW...
Here's the breakdown:
If you have a new Verizon "Share Everything" plan, you can use your phone's built-in mobile hotspot feature or a third-party tethering app free of charge? but you're limited to the data in your Share Everything data pool. Overage rates for shared data plans are $15 per gigabyte.
If you have an old usage-based data plan, you can now use a third-party tethering app free of charge. You can also use your phone's mobile hotspot feature for an additional $20 per month (per device), which also gets you an additional 2GB of data.
If you have an old unlimited plan, you are technically required to pay $20 per month for tethering? whether you're using a third-party app or your phone's mobile hotspot feature. However, Verizon has no way of knowing if you're using a third-party app to tether.

For the most part, it works without issues.
What I have discovered. Devices cant talk across it (as far as I can tell), and sometime it bugs out (every once in awhile). Overall works great.
The annoying part is damn icons in the top of your phone you cant get rid of. 2 for foxfi, 1 for hotspot.
