Hey everyone, I have an unlocked G900T coming in the mail, and I really want to hotspot using this phone, but I've seen several people talking about how T-Mobile blocks tethering on the S5. I plan to root and use Wifi Tether Router, but I have some questions.
Will Wifi Tether Router work since I will be using AT&T instead of T-Mobile? I'm really confused about this tether block thing, is it just blocked on the T-Mobile network specificly or is tethering blocked through ALL network providers on this phone?
I didn't know if it was simply an APN setting or if it was some kind of block integrated into the phone ROM itself.
Thanks,
Dylan
I know you know this now but it works on at&t as that's what I'm using. Same phone and all.

Hey everyone, I want to enable the wifi hotspot on my aT&T atric, the problem i have is that i have un unlocked atrix and im in Chile. All the intructions i find are for AT&T and adding AT&T APN, is there any other way to enable this for users outside of AT&T?

Thanks for the reply, i saw that already but i´m looking for a way to enable the native wifi hotspot trhat the atrix comes with.
Hi!
I'm at Colombia, and I was able to use the AT&T hotspot, until the 1.83 update .
After that, it did not work anymore.... When I tried to activate it, asked about AT&T authorization or something like that .
Then, I rooted my Atrix and now use Barnacle.... a lot better than AT&T's hotspot.
Hope it helps.
well, modding the build.prop worked for me in Mexico. Anyway, barnacle and wifitetherforrootusers is adhoc, so you will want official hotspot
On my atrix there are multiple APN's. There's AT&T US, AT&T US HSDPA, AT&T US Tether, and AT&T US MMS. They're all pretty much self explanatory except for the difference between AT&T US and US HSDPA; what's the difference? Also, does the phone switch between APN's automatically if you tether or use mms?
I tried creating a new APN so I could tether without buying a tethering plan using the settings here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11493471&postcount=193
Do I need to set up a new one because the default APN will switch to AT&T US Tether and AT&T will track that?
That actually didn't work, my computer only has limited connectivity when it connects to the network. Does anyone know why? I'm thinking of trying Barnacle Tether if I can't get the APN to work, but will AT&T be able to see I'm tethering if I use that?
Tether is for them to know you are tethering using at&t's method. That way they can monitor usage. Hspa is 4g. Install custom rom and use mobileap. If not, root and use android wifi tether.
You need to install customs rom which support it

Not sure what you're talking about.
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 have the old unlimited plan (VZW grandfathered plan). I want to be able to hotpot as well as get wifi calling (I am often in an area with poor coverage).
I heard you can hotspot with an unlocked S8/note etc. but most of the posts say you loose advanced/wifi calling and can only get advanced calling if you install the verizon ROM.
Been scouring the forums -- has anyone figured out how to get wifi calling and hotspot with the old VZW UDP??? I really need both!
Thanks a bunch!
I was able to use hotspot on unlocked Verizon S8 G950U phone it was in the pull-down menu, but I read all VZW phones come unlocked these days. Also, I used to be on the grandfathered plan and switched to StraightTalk Wireless which resells the Verizon Network unlimited data for $55/mo!
I have a new VZW S8 and still have my GUDP..
All i want is Wi-Fi Hotspot unlocked.. to the point where I'm thinking about starting a bounty thread..
Anyone.... Please....
Maybe this thread will help you get Hotspot working...
