I can confirm the FoxFi does not work. The minute the phone recognizes there is bandwidth going to the connected devices it shuts down the feed and gives you the VZW nasty gram.
Has anyone got anything working?

Used to use portable wi-fi hotspot and just ignore the not subscribed message and it worked on the SGS4. It doesn't seem to work on here though.
unfortunately it looks like root is our only option once it comes out

Works perfectly however it will require a pin unlock all the time or installing certificates and uninstalling after done.

I just leave an easy 4 digit pin on all the time. Not worth the hassle of disabling and re-enabling it all the time.
I have to say I am fine with the 4 digit pin as a trade off... definitely not ideal... but I will take it in exchange for a working hotspot.

Using an un-rooted N4 on AT&T using the stock wi-fi tether setup. I get great speeds on my laptop and desktop (6-9 mbps) over wi-fi tether, but my iPad 3 and iPad mini can connect to the network but have just a trickle of data flow at best and usually no data at all. For good measure, my wife's iPhone 5 has the same behavior, just to throw a third Apple device into the mix.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can try to make this work?
Thanks in advance.

I am running paranoid android and wireless tethering is working fine with my iPad. I had trouble before with a different phone and I downloaded the wireless tether app from Google, messed with the settings in the app and got it to work. I can't remember the settings though. I would try that app and in the app's settings there is a menu to choose your device, try generic jellybean and see if that works.
Edit:
This is where I always went for the tethering app... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Wait a minute, your not rooted. It might be time to root buddy.

I just got the N4 yesterday and have not yet tried rooting. I will definitely give it a try when I get to that point.

Its really easy and worth it. You can always return to stock if you want.

I did manage to find a solution that works without rooting and wanted to share it.
Although certainly not optimal, leaving the hotspot as OPEN with no encryption will allow the iPad to connect via WiFi tether. I still plan to look into whether rooting is beneficial for me personally, but I was happy to find this method as a viable option.

Sounds like you need to check what security settings you had on the N4, when stock I had no issues acting as a hotspot for my ipad or macbook, I had it set as wpa2 psk.

Thanks for the suggestion. Wpa2 psk, which I had been trying, still did not work for whatever reason. But I realized that I had hadn't tried wpa psk and that worked perfectly so now I have some security!

I wonder why wpa2 isn't working for you, glad something is working for you and in a hotspot situation I don't think anybody is going to bother trying to hack your connection.

I don't understand either. This is an iPad 3, iPad mini, and iPhone that all don't work with wpa2, yet so many others have no problem at all.

Hello,
I have the t-mobile unlimited everything and it says that I have 500mb of tethering. I'm not trying to go stealth or anything.
I have used the default tethering app on android and it sets up fine. My nexus 10 even connects to it but the indicator bars stay gray, which means that there is no data (or at least i'm not able to do anything online with my n10).
Has anyone had a problem like this before and know a solution? Does tethering require a good connection? I average 1 or 2 bars.
N4 is AOKP and i've tried thru LTE and their regular HSPA.
thanks

have you tried other apps to make sure that your phone is tethering properly, have you tried it with or without a security password. Have you rebooted both devices and tried fresh? Also have tried connecting to a pc or another phone
Please let us know what steps you have taken already

I have rebooted both devices.
I tried foxfi for the heck of it and that only seems to work on verizon. Barnacle says that it cant find WAN interface?
I have tried it with no security code, with WPA, with WPA2.
I have not tried connecting to a PC or a phone. will try that later and report back.
Does only a certain APN work for tethering?

You're a genius! that was it.
Sadly I was a big fan of franco kernel (M3). Has anyone else been able to get it working or can recommend a similar kernel for me to check out? I mostly used the battery saving mode, custom color profiles, and voltage changes.
thanks in advance!

Okay, so I fixed the issue. It required flashing the stock kernel 40 and then flashing m3 franco again. very weird but it works now.
Do any of the apps from the market work to bypass the check? Like WiFi hot spot. I need to be able to tether. Seeing how no root or unlock. Can someone try this and test?
Also if it pops up and says Verizon you need subscription try just hitting the home button to close the message and see if it activates.

Odds are, FoxFi will work. Few devices don't work with it. Root will most likely happen hours after the devs get the device. DesignGears has a root for ATT's GN3, and with our Odin file, someone should be able to port that to verizon in a very short time.
I appreciate the reply bang, but I'm with black hat and it would be great if someone who has theirs can check and confirm with certainty. I know I can just wait until I get mine tomorrow but if someone can give us a heads up it would be wonderful. It's one of the biggest features for me.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
Well, it comes down to when/if we get root. With root, all of the tethering apps SHOULD work. Without, only FoxFi may. Pop over to the ATT forums and ask if someone would check out FoxFi to see. Their is gonna be the closest representation to ours until tomorrow.

That's not what is being asked here. We all know what tethering apps are out there. We're looking for confirmation that the Verizon Note 3 can wifi tether.
That works with just a out every phone... It enables less the default hotshot and bypasses activation checker...

Again, with all due respect, we're NOT looking for predictions and "it should work".
Just a simple question. Can someone who actually OWNS the Verizon Note 3 just confirm that it works or doesn't work.
If someone gets me a framework-res.apk ill tell you if its possible to natively bypass the check or permanently disable it.

Have you tried to hit the Home button on that message instead of hitting OK? It should keep the WiFi tether active with FoxFi. Saw this trick, I think on the AT&T N3 board.

Have you checked out FoxFi/PdaNet? Depending on the software level the phone is on, one or the other should work.

Foxfi doesn't work, pdanet won't help as we need WiFi tether for the Chromecast.
Thanks though

Which version? I tried using 2.16.2. When I try to start the hotspot, I see this:
Hotspot Error
You are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?
Cancel OK
No matter which option I pick, it never works. Thoughts?

Oh. I think of a physical connection when someone says "tether". My apologies sir.
Now I'm thinking WiFi Hotspot. I obviously don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll bow out.
Hi I root my phone yestarday and after that I don't see tether in settings. Is there a way to make tether work after rooting?
I had the same problem. Reflash a stock firmware, then reflash the engboot, and re root. Worked great for me.
