Is anyone on a completely stock and unrooted N4 having any Wifi tethering issues after the update? Which mobile provider and do you have the unlimited tether plan? I need to know this before I take the risk with this update.. I'd love to have the latest radio, dialer, etc.

Wifi tethering works fine for me, tested on stock and on a custom rom for 4.4.3. Just make sure you have the latest radio when updating to 4.4.3 and then you won't have any issues
I am using 3 network here with tethering included in the UK with no issues:good:

I'm getting lots of text of people with ota 2.2's trying to get hotspot, I keep telling them that they should be able to get free 3g hotspot but that theres no known root method for official ota 2.2 yet to unlock 4g wireless tethering. Is it true or am I giving them bad info?
i am not rooted and have no 3g wifi hotspot at all.

hmm and your stock 2.2 or 2.1? Its working for me on cm6, in wireless & network settings, under tethering & portable hotspot I check the portable wi-fi hotspot and it turns on
You are giving them bad info
Sprint does not allow 3G Mobile Hotspot without the additional add-on SOC code for $29.99.
I do not get the OP. He asks us if us non-root ota 2.2 users get 3g wifi hotspot but when i post and say i dont he asks what version and ohh i get it and im running cm6.
Duh......You are rooted and have a different rom.
i know i will not get 3g wifi hotspot without sprints add on. my other account has it but my business one does not.
I got 3g hotspot for the first couple months, but I think they were offering it for free.
if you could get it for free on a non-rooted phone why would sprint be charging $30 a month? because you cant.
Before 2.2 I could get 4G mobile hotspot free. 3G did not work.
After 2.2 neither work.
This was expected.
Froyo's built in wifi hotspot works on Cyanogen rom. Used it to download a 600MB coldfusion server install the other day at work since they block executable downloads
Well if you have Cyanogen, you're rooted. If you're rooted, there's any number of ways of doing this.
I *think* the OP's question (reading between the lines) was something like, I heard 2.2 would have native hotspot capability, so is that true in the official Sprint OTA?
If that's what he's asking, the answer is No, as expected. Yes 2.2 has that, but of course Sprint turns it off in their ROM else they couldn't charge for it.
Lemme make this simple:
IT IS NOT FREE.
(For non-rooted, users of the official OTA)
If people are able to use it now, either Sprint's made an error (like they did with 4G tethering when the EVO first launched), or they're going to be hit with a $30 + tax increase on their bill next month.[/thread]
Has anyone manages to get tethering on T-Mobile? If not is there applications that does not

yes, I just used the widget included, no problems works fine.
Do you mean using your tethering data or aftermarket? My usb tether is working with T-Mobile tethering but the wifi Hotspot won't work, had same issue with my daughter's iPhone 5 which they replaced and it works for her now so I'll have to raise the issue with them soon. I normally use Klink which I purchased 3 phones ago to usb tether and the carrier sees it as regular data usage, it works with my G2 but then it stops after 4 minutes. My other phones all worked but not on stock kernels so thats probably it but give Klink a try if your trying to not run into the out of data message.
Try and see if this works in the Tmobile stock ROM. You need to be rooted and you need to have a root file explorer program. People with the ATT version stock ROM says this works.

T-Mobile gives 2.5 GB of tethering now on unlimited. If I need more I USB tether with PDAnet+.
What happened to the developers? Can we bye pass T-Mobile hotspots block plzzzz??

Well after I updated my I9500 to KitKat yesterday and rooted it (didn't install custom rom. All I did was update and root it through odin), I was playing around with tethering and out of a sudden, the wifi hotspot works on my device (only tried it for a couple of mins). I'm on At&t network and have NO tethering plan whatsoever nor use any rooted tethering apps.
So I am wondering if any of you know why it works or should I be concern if At&t is going to charge me for it if I use it for an extended amount of time?

Its quite possible that they will charge u. Its better to wait for ur bill and confirm without using it any further...

You can use WiFi hotspot anytime. It's like a LAN network as long as your mobile data is turned off. You'll get charged once the mobile data is turned on.

Will i still have the wifi calling feature with tmobile if I flash a new rom on it? I want to flash something like cyangenomod but not sure if I will lose this feature!

I beleive that the rom has to have wifi calling in it for it to work. Also you have to have tmo for wifi to work. Att and Verizon are working on getting wifi calling as well but will not be rolled out till next year. I could be wrong. But this is what i read up to now. If any one else knows please correct me.
There are some ROMs that have wifi and volte working (XtreStoLite). Most of them don't the last time I checked as they were based off the international version.
On CM you'll lose Wi-Fi calling. It's a feature on T-Mobile roms and is a proprietary app.
Anyone know if there's a hotspot hack for the new unlimited data plan on AT&T? I'm considering switching but this is important for me. I only use if I'm having home internet issues, which is too often.
I used Bluetooth tethering, worked great.

Use to? I'm referring to the new unlimited data plan that just came out. AT&T said you can't add hotspot to the plan. So I'm hoping there's a mod for regular hotspot.
I have the new unlimited AT&T data plan. I tried to setup a wifi hotspot so I could use my Nexus 9 wifi only tablet. A message popped up saying I needed to call 611 to add hotspot to my plan. I then setup and connected a Bluetooth hotspot. That worked fine. I've successfully used it several times.

Have you tried any roms to see if the hotspot works? How do you setup the Bluetooth tethering?
I'm using the stock unmodified 6.0.1 rom, unrooted. I haven't flashed anything else. Setup for Bluetooth tethering was very easy. https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2812516?hl=en

Thank you.. Are the hotspot speeds decent? On Verizon, my tethering speeds are about the same as my devices speeds. I've never used the Bluetooth method.
I'm happy with it. I've watched YouTube videos and they loaded quickly, no lagging.

Ok..thanks for the info.
You have to modify the build.prop. Breaks OTA updates....
XDA won't let me post links but Google: "Nexus 6P showing as AT&T on Straight Talk" and the first result from google product forms contains a guide.
If you are rooted add "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to the bottom of /system/build.prop.
