I have a T-Mobile Note 3, still using the stock rom but I have rooted it. My question is there any way to wifi tether that does not "verify" tethering status with T-Mobile?
When starting up the built in hot-spot or FoxFi a popup comes up and tethering is verified with T-Mobile.
I know, I know, T-Mobile comes with X amount of free tethering. I have 2.5 gigs of free tethering. However, I'm going to Mexico for two weeks and T-Mobile has unlimited free international data but no tethering. I have no idea if it will do the "verify" using FoxFi or not once I'm there but I'd like to plan ahead.
What rooted app will allow wifi tethering for the Note 3 that does no verification with T-Mobile?

If I have other wi-fi devices, can I tether them to my 3G AT&T plan of my Galaxy Note? I am currently paying for the 2 GB monthly plan from AT&T.

check Portable wi-fi hotspot

Yes, I did it yesterday.
As the others mentioned - Yes you can with no problems. I'm actually using it on my laptop 90% of the time as the upload speed is quicker than my wifi upload speed. I have a 12mb down and 1.5mb up on wifi and 2.6mb and 2.2mb up on data.
Using AT&T also.
Will this flag for the Infamous "Upgrade service letter" or is it hidden?
On my Iphone 4 it would trigger the letter to be sent when tethering.
Using it to tether to my laptop to do some work anywhere. My kid is using the connection to watch Netflix on my tablet.

Or you can try ye olde Barnacle unrooted. Or indeed the
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. This provides one with more options than the built in hotspot...
Although, it does say you 'may need acustom kernel', but given the effort involved in downloading it, it has to be worth having a fiddle..
I use it all the time...htc hd2
Try the Foxfi software, no root needed and able to tether my ASUS Prime...awesome
I'm with AT&T and I was able to tether.
No upgrade service letter so far.
You have to be careful not to exceed your data plan limit though.
I've been tethering for years since my old Samsung blackjack. I use anywhere between 3-4gb a month on average or about 5 with heavy use.
My suggestion for everyone is use it but don't abuse it. I'm on a unlimited plan and have never been throttled.

I just got this phone used and of course it has been updated.
So basically if it is anything like the rest of verizon's locked bootloader crap, unrootable. But I haven't followed this phone so I don't know if that is actually the case..
All I really want is unlimited tethering. :good:
Any advice and help is totally appreciated!
WiFi Tether supposed works on Lollipop. Unless you have a grandfathered unlimited data plan you can use the Verizon hotspot app as tethering is included in the tiered data plans....but obviously uses data against your limit

So far this phone is unrootable... I got it as a gift,it was used and had gotten the update. I have tried everything and every method I could find to root it.. I kept my s3 (which is rooted) just so I could use zanti and all those types of apps. WiFi tethering and the Hotspot is good to go without root however. Just hate to use my data.

Use Foxfi app. It works like a charm for both WiFi and USB tethering.
I have a Verizon with a grandfathered unlimited data plan. I used to use it a lot with my Samsung Galaxy S3 but a forced update broke this functionality. I would like to upgrade phones and want to know if the Moto X Style/Pure can do subscription-less wireless hotspots? If so, how?
I will venture a guess and say that FoxFi won't work on this. From my small amount of research so far, it sounds like FoxFi doesn't work on Motos. Poeple have also seemed to have bad luck with other app store tethering apps on the Motos. With that said, this being "unlocked," I don't know if the native tethering settings will work.
Either way, I'm assuming if this has an unlocked bootloader and we can root... I'm sure there will be a way around.

Thank you for answering my question. Do you know if it makes a difference if I purchase a Moto X Style vs a Pure?
My assumption is that the Style will be locked by Verizon while the Pure should not be locked? If it is the same thing, I will buy a style since I can get that subsidized with a 2 year plan if this is not the case I will purchase a Pure from a third party.
I have used foxfi in the past with moto phones. I have not needed it since loosing my unlimited data. Those phones were on pre 5.0 android. I have not kept up to see if they have updated it to work on 5.0 and later.

On the droid turbo, nothing worked.
However as long as we get root, which I think will happen. They can modify the apk not to check for hotspot provisions.

Since this is an unlocked phone, wouldn't it work just like how Nexus devices work? I assumed that since you wouldn't have any of Verizon's software it wouldn't do the tethering check.

My next phone.
Heck, I don't even need to root if that's the case.
Me too! If I can tether out of the box, I won't need to root either, though I'll probably unlock the bootloader on day 1, since that wipes the device.
I read elsewhere that it is advisable to do the initial setup over wifi, with no sim, to prevent the device from downloading and VZW software that may prompt the device to check for subscription before starting hotspot.
I know it isn't that hard to watch a tutorial and root, but with OTA's popping up, it would be nice if I didn't need to root.
According to @spotmark in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...o-x-2015-pure-edition-waiting-t3192510/page51 it's confirmed working on Verizon with Unlimited Data, no tethering subscription!!
If you're unlocked and rooted, you don't need Foxfi or any other third party app. Native Hotspot works fine
(I'm on Verizon)

Not true. I'm with Straight Talk (AT&T) and it wouldn't let me tether. There is a provisioning check. I had to root to get tethering.
Straight Talk is not ATT. It uses other carriers networks to provide service. That's not the same as having serivce directly from ATT. I have Verizon and ATT, tethering worked on both without root.
I'm on Sprint 10+ years and I root and enable native tethering on all of my phones since the Evo.Sprint has never said a word.I average 20-30 GB of data a month .
sprint limits hotspot data
Hi, have a quick question. I am on a simply everything plan at sprint for 70 bucks a month. But they check if I use the unlimited data with my hotspot. If I tether they limit the data to 3 GB a month and charge if I get over that. Is there a way to get around that?

Hey all- There is much q&a about getting the mobile hotspot and tethering working with verizon's unlimited data but i have not seen much about att's.
So my question regarding the ATT unlimited data grandfathered plan (plans before mobile share) is this. Who out there has the older ATT grandfathered unlimited plan and has mobile hotspot working with/without root?
I liked that when i bought my Nexus 5, mobile hotspot worked just fine out of the box and i never had to do anything to make it work. I would like to upgrade to the new X Pure, but concerned about my plan and compatibility OOB. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
thanks!
I have a grandfathered AT&T unlimited plan, and tethering does not work out of the box. I am planning on trying a couple of the tethering apps today to see what happens, and if it is a no-go I'll root. I've seen a few posts either around here or Reddit saying that tethering on AT&T does work with root.
I rooted my phone and installed xposed installer to allow me to tether. I have AT&T and an unlimited data plan. Everything is working fine.

Has anyone got wifi tether router working on moto g7
I am curious about this also. I have an old Verizon plan and have been waiting to buy this phone until I know that the hot spot feature has been hacked.

Got a G7 unlocked for my wife and WiFi tether worked out of the box with no modification on an original Verizon unlimited plan.

You are talking about different thing.
The OP asked about if the app "wifi tether router" works, not the built-in wifi tethering. The app can bypass carrier tether account verification so it will allow users to use tether even if the user's plan doesn't have tether.
Exactly.
Our plan is a very old unlimited plan and Verizon has never allowed us native WiFi tether. The WiFi tether on her unbranded phone worked right out of the box.
In the past I had to root and then apply some kind of patch to get it working on what ever phone she had at the time. Her new G7 is unrooted because she has no need or desire for root apps like I do. I assume (we all know the trouble that causes) that because it is the unbranded version of the G7 that the switch that is normally turn off on a Verizon branded phone has been left on. She dropped and broke it a week ago and then bought a new one which came last night. Same thing. Put the Sim card in and began using WiFi tether.
Now I suppose it is possible that Verizon has changed its policy and out of kindness and generosity has decided that because we are such long term customers we can just have native tethering.
Your laughing at me now right?

I'm not sure about wifi but you can tether with SuperProxiod and a setting your browser to use it as a proxy.
