Hi All,
I have a Sprint S4 (SPH-L720) which i got from the states. I plan to use this in Canada...was able to root/unlock the phone via SIM Unlock Method posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587&highlight=sph-l720).
My issue is that i am unable to browse internet or use any apps needing internet on the GSM/UTMS network mode. I have a Rogers LTE chip that i am using and am able to use the phone (voice calling) with no issues. I can use internet on wifi but am unable to when trying internet via the phone chip...i do have a 6GB plan with Rogers and can browse internet when used on another phone.
I had to downgrade the Baseband to MDL/MDC to sim unlock the phone and have later installed MF9.
The software version and baseband now on the phone is: L720VPUAMF9. Earlier had an issue that the wifi was not working, option was disabled...(was getting a message - that an app is trying to connect...) this got fixed after i flashed the kernel version.
Can anyone advice how i can use data from the GSM network and not wifi.. has anyone faced the same issue.
Add your APN for your gsm sim under APN settings.

Thanks guys...i was able to get the APN settings and now my phone works on data from the lte chip inserted.
Now my issue is that my phone does not show LTE....i have another S4 with Rogers and i verified running speed test on a friend's phone to compare...my specs on the sprint phone are almost 40% lower than his phone on the same network..ran from the same location (apt). I tried various combinations i.e. (LTE, LTE/CDMA, GSM) but i can only get 3g or H+.
Any suggestions that i can try...Thanks!
This phone doesn't have the proper bands to work on Rogers LTE.

Has anyone with an S5 rooted their phone and able to use Wifi tethering with the unlimited data plan? Or does anyone know if Foxfi works with the unlimited data plans now?
That's the only thing that's been holding me back from getting an S5 - I didn't want to give up my wifi tethering - actually I literally CAN'T give it up since it's my only internet in certain locations.
If I can get confirmation, I can go get me an S5!
Thanks!

Go get yourself that S5 yes "free" tethering works. I also have the unlimited data plan and foxfi works just fine and there are also other ways besides foxfi. There's a few threads on this.

There is a big post a few down from yours titled "Enabling the Tethering App (hotspot) on Verizon Galaxy s5". Please just look around a little before posting a new topic.

Yup, that's exactly what I did :good:
I use FoxFi every day for tethering with UDP on my VZ S5 - it works great.
S5 developer, rooted, Verizon unlimited data, confirmed working fine with WiFi Tether Router from Fabio Grasso from the Google Play Store
Moved to Q&A.
Im using my G900V unlocked on Tmobiles network. Down side is when I tether, it is trying to verify with Verizon, using their tethering app. Does anyone know a work around too this? thanks!
XDA,
Recently bought an AT&T S4 with hopes to unlock it and use my T-Mobile SIM in it. I've done some reading and noticed native wifi tether was removed from the rom although it was in 4.3 and below. What I need in particular is to know if there are any roms, or apps that would allow me to have unlimited wifi tethering, provided I have truly unlimited phone data?
I currently use a T-Mobile Note 4 and the rom I'm using has "unrestricted wifi tethering mod" built in. Which allows for unlimited tethering. Is there a way I could do this on the S4 through rom or app?
Appreciate it in advance.
I'm on the AT&T s7 edge(using cricket wireless). I used foxfi bit out only allows hotspot through usb. Is there any other app that allows a hotspot through the device?
Anyone?
Still trying to figure this out
and the normal built in hotspot is not available for you?

Since I'm not on AT&T no it's not. I'm using cricket wireless. It just said verifying and to enable visit..blah blah.
seems like its an AT&T "feature"
