I've been using MM unrooted for over a week, and have unlimited data on Verizon. Tethering definitely works.

Tethering working fine... Not rooted... Stock

that may be what you're looking for until we get the bootloader unlocked and can start doing some heavy modding!

Really? The device is a pos if you can't illegally tether without a plan that allows tethering?
Not to be rude, but there are ways to ask things without being a jerk about it.
Pay for tethering if that's what you want. Find a way around it, but that's not because the device, Samsung, or ATT have provided a pos device.

Thanks man +1 FoxFi works..
I was delighted to find out that FoxFi works as well. My phone is stock, not rooted or anything. I had the paid version of FoxFi from a while ago when it was on sale too.
so if im on the unlimited data plan on att i can grab this app and it will allow me to tether off my LTE???!!!

Me too~
I didn't know there was an app by Chainfire that manipulated hotspot controls, haha.
It works for me quite well!
However, Foxfi didn't do anything for me, it just force-closed itself after hanging for 10 seconds.
Also, if you want to use the default functionality, you can drop by over here.
I've never had a device right out of the gate before, but I'm glad there are devs so diligent on getting the ball rolling for this device like literally(seemingly) every other device out there.

Can any new owners confirm FoxFi working?

I pre-ordered full price to keep my unlimited. I don't plan to root or anything right away. Want to play with it stock and see how it goes, but I would love to be able to tether right away. Granted nobody has the US/VZW variant yet, but a working FoxFi on the models out now would give me hope.
So, does it work?

FoxFi is what used to be PdaNet, So yes, it would work.

They are in collaboration at least
That's great and all, but I was specifically asking if any owners can confirm it is working. Conjecture is great, and I see no reason why it wouldn't work, but confirmation is better. Some devices don't work with FoxFi and as this is a new device, let's just be sure.

All you have to do is press the home button once the Verizon subscription notice pops up and it works just fine.

[mod] ** Working Hotspot **

What's up guys. (i'm just sharing my way of doing this, i'm not taking credit)
- Myself and a friend (@ teg50886 twitter) figured out a way to get the wifi hotspot working.
- I've only tested this on Sprint, they have unlimited LTE here where I live. So yeaaaa .....
^^ YOU MUST HAVE ROOT ^^
@jcase fixed all that for us here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/root-stump-root-lg-g3-sprint-verizon-t2850906
* Directions:
1. Download this app from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
(his email is listed on GP [email protected]) So, Thank Him and Buy his app. I'ts only $2.50
2. Go to "Configure Wifi Router"
3. Go to "Interface" and select first option "wlan0"
4. Go to "Method" and select second option "Android 4.2+"
5. That is it. Easy as Pie.
Thanks for the info. It worked perfectly on my Sprint LG G3 following the instructions you posted.

WiFi hotspot works perfectly out of the box for me... I'm in the UK with the 4G EE network.
Is it somehow limited or blocked or other countries/operators?

Sprint charges for hotspot and does not offer unlimited. Just about all U.S. carriers charge for hotspot.
Confirmed working on 3 UK! Thanks for the tip bro!
Works fine on AT&T
FYI, new Verizon plans do not charge for hotspot. So the stock hotspot app on my Verizon G3 works fine. AT&T charges (in addition to limiting data, which is exactly what Verizon got smacked down by the FCC for...)
(I have both an AT&T G3 and a Verizon G3.)
Confirmed working on sprint 990, thanks for the find

If you have the unlimited data package on 3 UK (like I do) they now only let you tether 100mb's of data, this app/settings bypass that ^_^

I'm still on on my unlimited Verizon plan, would love to get Hotspot working.
So I can install this app, follow the instructions, turn on my hotspot...and I shouldn't be charged?
thanks
dmz working?

Yes, it works great on the cricket network.
Simple and cheap solution
Bought an Overture 2 for $20 and as many report both USB and WiFi tethering is blocked. Tried PDAnet but no luck. Rooted with Kingoroot and rechecked PDAnet and USB tethering is working fine.

If I root and use Hotspot without paying for it, will Sprint throttle the Hotspot?

Basically I want to root and use the Hotspot function without officially going through sprint.
Will Sprint throttle my Hotspot uses if they dont really know that I'm using it?
Thanks

On a side note, my hotspot works.... Randomly
Everything stock. I didn't pay for it or ask for it.
Will I get charged for using it even tho I didn't subscribe to it? Thanks

Nevermind the question for the s8 plus I figured it out, but is it normally this slow? Connected device is slow but main phone is normal speeds. 30 mbps
