mobile hotspot

is this a froyo only feature? or will we be able to do this once we receive eclair? is the hardware even capable of this? my apologies if this has been previously discussed.

It's possible now, just root your phone and install Barnacle WiFi Tether (free from market). Go into settings>interfaces set LAN to "athwlan0" (without quotes), and you're all set.

I've tried this app.
It works great with my x10.
In fact i sending this message from my notebook which internet connection powered by my x10 thru wifi tether by Barnacle
Thanks for info.

Thanks!

Does your provider know you are tethering so he make you paid for this special feature ?

Just don't tell them...
Just watch how much data you use, and don't overdo it, and they shouldn't get suspicious.

Imo the provider does not have anything to do with what i do with my data plan, the deal is what it is, i have 1ggb high speed and above that my provider will lower the speed. I can use twice the data but it will be slow

i can't surf via barnacle. i've set the LAN settings to athwlan0 as stated by another post. and i can connect to the hotspot it creates. but i get no internet access on my computer. unable to browse anywhere.. do i need to set a DNS?

In semi related news if you're on Rogers the $30 6 gig data plan is back for a limited time. If you use network data like me it's well worth it

I could be wrong but I don't think Bluetooth is very fast. Why not use USB?
I have a Bluetooth laptop. I'll try it when I have some time.

Blue tooth is not slow and u have kess chance of it getting interference I tryed a lot of time bluetooth tethering and is as good a infrastructure ofcourse it will drain ur battery

hi there. everyone is wrong here. lol
I have play as well. you don't need to use the Bluetooth. u don't need any app(depending if ur network provider has disabled tethering) here is how u use it like a wifi modem.
application>settings>wireless and networks> Tethering and Portable hotspots> portable wi-fi hot spot must be checked. then use port. wi-fi hotsport setting to change the name or the password for the wireless.
now use ur laptop and refresh the list. u must see (R800a or R800i be default name)
this could be disabled from ur network provider. if that's the case try using PDANET. its free to try and always works great with USB.

You could use the hotspot option but they charge for the data if you dont have hotspot service enabled they r gonna charge like crazy so the best way is to use an app that is gonna bypass that and he wants to use bluetooth tether so thats why im giving him that option

thx everyone , Is it more power-consuming via wifi function ?
And is it possible to access internet via USB (modem) ?

My play supports tethering via usb standard.

FoxFi & PDANet

I can report that FoxFi & PDANet (USB or Bluetooth) works great on my Note 5. This means I do not have to root my phone. :cyclops:

Can anyone confirm if this works on the Verizon Note 5?

Yeah but wireless tethering doesn't work you have to use another application.

It works on the Verizon Note 5. Using it right now to post this.

FoxFi is working for me (Verizon) and at least lets me survive without rooting, although I'm starting to miss more features and stability with popular ROMs. I'm having more force closes and phone freezes than I've ever had on a rooted phone in the past.
My question is: has anyone vetted the FoxFi app? I understand that it has to install a certificate to accomplish it's goal. But has anyone tested network traffic and attempted to see if the FoxFi app is reporting network traffic or content to the FoxFi developer? It would be capable of doing this even when the FoxFi app is not functioning as the certificate remains. This could easily collect CC numbers and account passwords. I'm feeling like someone is watching me through the window at night.

easy thether works on bluetooth too.

It DOES NOT work on the ATT Note 5. Had to side load it and it will not turn on the hotspot. I refuse to pay another $30 for Hotspot function to AT&Thief so I would love to find a work around.

Could you provide a little more details on how that works. I can't seem to figure it out I have the Note 5 and the note 12.2 tablet (WiFi only)

I looked at Wifi Tether Router (the app) and it is for Rooted phones only. Now I'd love to root this phone but if I did I certainly wouldnt need this app. Is there another work around?

I'm curious if foxfi works on verizon note 5 as well

Yes it works perfectly.
Only issue I had was using Adguard at the same time but just turn it off then activate FoxFi/PDANet

I'm using it with WiFi and I'm on ATT

Likewise, if someone could pm me their WiFi tether settings, any different than the s6? Haven't tried those settings yet as I haven't had the need yet, and been tinkering around on other stuff lol

What are you using to get WiFi tether with AT&T? Because FoxFi isn't working for me.

I just installed the app and it works. FoxFi use native tether program on the phone. I also have "Tether WIFI Router" that tethers directly. There are no real controls with FoxFi, but with other program you have to configure to make it work.
That problem I'm having, if I'm using FoxFi or the Tether WIFI Router, it disconnects my bluetooth. I can not seem to get around that issue. When I disconnect the tethering programs I have access to my bluetooth.
Let me know if you need the settings.

I assume your phone is rooted then if you are using Tether Wifi Router? Version 920C?
I just want to make sure the details of making the Wifi tethering to work before I void my warranty/trip knox. And I would greatly appreciate the settings please.
THANKS!

If you have wifi from the place where you are at, just select that same wifi name on your pc's wifi setup. No need to tether with phone, right? Am I missing some other details from you?
