Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone has had the issue where their Panache Hotspot doesn't turn off? I will outline the problem below...
On Day x, I turn on my Hotspot and gave access to my sister, who has an iPod Touch -> she finishes what she needs to do, and I turn it back off
Day y, I do not turn on the Hotspot (meaning that the Hotspot box is NOT checked - I can't post an example, as I don't know how to do it off my phone and xda won't allow me to post outside links - sorry!) but I find out she still has access. I consult with a couple other people about why this might be, and it turns out that they can all find my Hotspot (HTC Portable Hotspot) on their phones too. Also, even after I went into my Hotspot and blocked her IP, she still was able to have access. The only thing I could do was turn off my phone, or change my password and turn on my Hotspot and then turn it off again.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be? I'm on mobilicity, so I have unlimited data, but this still bothers me, and I'm only into day 4 of my 14 day 'trial' period, so if this is a huge bug, I'll probably take it back and swap for a Nexus S.
Please let me know if I'm missing any information. I really appreciate any help anyone can give!!
Thanks!

Hi,
a few month ago, my mobile network automatic turn off if WiFi hotspot on my HTC sensation was turn on. I already check setting until 2 week but the problem still not solve. I am happy right now after my software flashing with ROM Android Revolution HD, change kernel, radio. etc.
Not only my WiFi hotspot was working properly but my htc was faster and very faster.
Sorry if my answer not make you happy
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.

Hi guys, my wifi tether router app worked fine on my moto g4 plus with android 7.0. Right now I bought sprint moto e4, rooted it, tried to run tether and it didn't work....Is there any way to fix it and use my moto e4 as a hotspot?
Thank you and appreciate any suggestions.

Add these lines to your build.prop and reboot:
Code:
persist.sys.dun.override=0
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Does it hide hotspot traffic from sprint? My hotspot is working ok, I just need to use my phones unlimited data as hotspot...
I am on Boost Mobile which runs through Sprint. Does this code work on this version also? I am doing research before I get the phone. Want to be able to use the phones full potential as soon as I get home with it.
And also is there added code for unlocking the data speed cap on the hotspot? I do know about FoxFi and like the way it worked on my friends 1+. was using my hotspot from my old phone only getting around 100kB/s on a couple torrents. when he plugged his phone in to my computer it jumped to 100M/s. I would love to see these speeds from my phone.

Not sure which line did the job, but since I added these lines to the build.prop I haven't had any notice about tethering which I did get before I did:
Code:
ro.config.nocheckin=1
ro.config.dun.nocheckin=1
net.tethering.nocheckin=1

What tether/wifi app are you using? Foxfi?

I'm not using any app. Just what comes with stock. I haven't had to use FoxFi or anything in years.

Good to know. Switching from MetroPCS right now. with them blocking the hotspot usage on their new unlimited plans I had to get FoxFi and was only able to use bluetooth tethering to access any type of hotspot. Rooted my LG Aristo from Metro and hadn't really had a chance to play with the code, only pushing out 10mb/s at peak down and 1mb/s up.
Just to be sure where to put the code, where does it go? This will be my first actual build.

I tried this code and it doesn't seem to work, or may be it will prevent sprint from throttling after I reach my hotspot limit? my data still counts towards hotspot limit.. Currently I am 2 gb, the limit is 10, lets see what happens after I reach 10 gb...
I also have working wifi tether router app on this phone which really hides traffic from sprint, but unfortunately download speeds are very slow, about 1-2 mbs, while actual speed is 50-6- mbs..
@amarc78 does this bypass the 8gb limit?
BTW I did notice that because Boost has an allowance, foxfi is just a placebo effect. It shows up how much data is used. It may look like it is using its own, but it shows up in the process that it mainly just turned the hotspot with a diff password/SSID

I did find out that BT tethering works with a phone that uses a WiFi source and makes the phone become an extender/repeater. But only with BT.... (Not using phone data) I can prove that BC my J7 has no data and used my neighbors WiFi on it connecting my BT enabled devices to the J7 using my neighbors wifi

I got the notification saying I reached the 8gb hotspot limit before I added those prop lines and I haven't had it again and I've used a lot more than 8gb. It doesn't stop normal data usage notifications though.

Ok, so I ran out of my 10 gb and speed dropped down to 32 kbs..the trick didn't work, however, changing apn type to "dun" works fine but you get slow speeds, 1-2 mbs on average. Currently, I started to use wifi tether router which gives me same slow speeds of 1mbs-2 mbs while phones speed is 50 mbs, and I don't understand why. I had moto g4 plus before and it worked perfectly with high speeds. I tend to think that sprint's rom is responsible for that. Do you know what can be in there that limits the speed of wifi tether router? Also, I think may be I should try to flash unlocked xt1768 rom which doesn't have sprint's **** in it, will it be possible? Appreciate if someone could give me a clue, thanks!

I used FoxFi/PDANet+ for a long time to stop MetroPCS from seeing my USB tether usage, but the app suddenly stopped being able to run 'pro unlocked.'
I started using CWM's Tether Android app (and their Windows accompanying app) on my old G3 and now on my E4, and it works just as well. All traffic seems to appear as if it's only going to my phone. I've never had a slowdown or anything while using it.
It's limited in the free version, but only a one-time $4.99 US for the full... very worth it, I'd say. I was happy to pay it.
There's another app called EasyTether Pro (US $9.99) that I playex around with. It's got a couple more options (e.g. connecting by Bluetooth), but I figured I could make do with the cheaper option.
My go to method is to use PDANet/Easy Tether on a windows PC and run Wan Miniport on the PC to make the rest of the house have WiFi normally I use it as an extender, but it works also to run without hotspot usage so it makes the PC the hotspot instead..... Provided you have the time to use it

Yup ? kinda similar... windows hostednetwork to share my phone's internet. Good way to share my VPN single paid connection too...
Well, I used Wifi tether router before as a hotspot and had wifi on all my devices, now its just too slow.....Those apps are good if you connect a phone via usb. I want to have my additional phone as wifi hotspot....Thank you for ideas though, I 'd like to know why speeds are so slow... There should be smth that limits the speed of the app...

I've been bouncing this to my 3DS since yesterday.... And nothing... Is this a trick? Or am I going to be bombarded by the end of the month XD?
Hey guys I was just wondering how I could get hotspot to work on this phone with cricket wireless
Without root. I always thought as long as the phone was unlocked it would let you hotspot without a plan. Not really wanting to Root my phone right now and FoxFi isn't working right now thanks
