Wondering how you guys wifi tether without a tether plan.
I only wanna do a few hundred mbs so nothing really significant.
I have ATT in the USA, thanks for the help!
Undetected wifi
Go to ur build.prop and add the line net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

I have a rooted Nexus 7 1st gen WIFI only and I am trying to connect to AT&T WIFI at local places. I have AT&T wireless (Note 3-Stock) but I do not want to tether and use up my data cap which is 10 gb's. Any ideas on what could be done?
I've got a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 which I've recently rooted. My whole objective by doing this is to allow my Xbox to connect to the internet to download updates for games (I've got unlimited data with T-Mobile).
I followed a guide which involved installing xposed framework and then xposed xtether. Everything seems to work, except after using the hotspot for a bit I checked my T-Mobile account for data usage and it shows that I've been using the mobile hotspot (for which I have only 5GB allotted).
I've also tried Barnacle wifi tether but it gives me this error message:
"DHCP: Failed to parse 'fd00:976a::9' for brncl_dhcp_dns1"
and
"WIFI: Could not set ssid of wlan0: File table overflow"
and
"Stopped unexpectedly!"
Additionally, I've tried PdaNet USB tether and internet connection sharing, but the Xbox can't connect to the internet when it's done this way simply stating "Xbox can't connect to the internet".
Ultimately, I'd really like to get the hotspot thing working so that it doesn't draw from the allotted 5GB and instead uses my unlimited data. It'd be nice to use the stock hotspot app. Is this possible?
I know this is a long shot but maybe you can try this:
Open the file: build.prop (located at /system/build.prop)
Add at the end of the file this: wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
Save changes
Reboot your device
Than try to connect to your hotspot again.

So, is the idea that when I use my mobile hotspot it shouldn't tally the data under that 5GB cap? In other words, if everything is good, it should say 0/5GB for the mobile hotspot?
I'm wondering if the data will continue to count up to 5GB but once it's maxed, it will still let me use the hotspot? Becsuse it seems like xtether lets people tether who don't even have a tethering plan in the first place, whereas I do.
Sprints new plan includes unlimited everything EXCEPT tethering, that's limited to 3gb, does anyone have a suggestion for an app that limits or at least monitors tether usage so I can avoid the overage fees?
Just go into settings and data usage and it shows tethering how much data it uses. Also to bypass sprint checks for tether in your builprop put this net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
I tether over 500 Gig's a month on my original nexus 6 on Sprint with that build prop edit. I use that phone hooked up to a router for my Internet. Haha. Sprint hates me.
WIFI TETHER for Sprint S7 Sorry for typo
I am on a Sprint S7 G930PVPS4APK1 ANDORID VERSION 6.0.1. I live in the sticks and wifi tether is the only way I can get high speed for home. The quick reboot method no longer works. I have rooted other phones, but am no expert, and hesitate to try rooting my S7. Can't afford the ins if I brick it.
I have found From lots of reading (thanks to many) that using PDAnet+ alows me to use USB tethering to a laptop. The lap top will then work as a WIFI hotspot with what seems like reasonable speed. I was able to use the wifi on a tablet and stream Netflix, which is what I really want. Works great. It will be worth the $8 bucks to unlock PDAnet for unlimited data. So this works as Jan 2017 for free wifi hotspot.. I have seen no other recent references to this. i should mention i have unlimited data so have not
I do have a question While the WIfi hotspot from the tethered laptop works great, I can not seem to get my Chrome cast to connect to it. I really need this. It satys problem connecting to wifi router. I can't figure out why. The only clue? I constantly get a pop up on the laptop saying intel intelligent wifi is disabled while app running? any ideas would be very helpful TIA
So I just rooted my phone mainly to use hotspot and I can't get it to work. I'm on cricket wireless and when I tried turning it on I got an error saying I had to pay for the add-on.
Did a quick search and tried putting net.tethering.noprovisioning=true at the end of my build.prop and that got the hotspot to turn on. But when I actually connect on my laptop I get a limited connection and can't actually load any webpages. Any way to get it working fully?
I am on Verizon and the hotspot worked right off the bat with no modifications. I am on a old grandfather unlimited data plan. At least about as unlimited as you get these days. I do not have the hotspot activated on my plan.
