WiFi tether - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do any of the apps from the market work to bypass the check? Like WiFi hot spot. I need to be able to tether. Seeing how no root or unlock. Can someone try this and test?
Also if it pops up and says Verizon you need subscription try just hitting the home button to close the message and see if it activates.

Odds are, FoxFi will work. Few devices don't work with it. Root will most likely happen hours after the devs get the device. DesignGears has a root for ATT's GN3, and with our Odin file, someone should be able to port that to verizon in a very short time.

I appreciate the reply bang, but I'm with black hat and it would be great if someone who has theirs can check and confirm with certainty. I know I can just wait until I get mine tomorrow but if someone can give us a heads up it would be wonderful. It's one of the biggest features for me.

Well, it comes down to when/if we get root. With root, all of the tethering apps SHOULD work. Without, only FoxFi may. Pop over to the ATT forums and ask if someone would check out FoxFi to see. Their is gonna be the closest representation to ours until tomorrow.

Funny, it seems this is a question still unanswered across the forums... Lots of conjecture and "probably", but nobody has actually tried it and confirmed yet. imablackhat, let us know when you find out.

Just download hotspot toggle from the Play Store, it works just as good and its a widget

That's not what is being asked here. We all know what tethering apps are out there. We're looking for confirmation that the Verizon Note 3 can wifi tether.

That works with just a out every phone... It enables less the default hotshot and bypasses activation checker...

Again, with all due respect, we're NOT looking for predictions and "it should work".
Just a simple question. Can someone who actually OWNS the Verizon Note 3 just confirm that it works or doesn't work.

If someone gets me a framework-res.apk ill tell you if its possible to natively bypass the check or permanently disable it.

I am able to tether with PDANet but the FoxFi WiFi gives me a message from Verizon and doesn't activate.

Have you tried to hit the Home button on that message instead of hitting OK? It should keep the WiFi tether active with FoxFi. Saw this trick, I think on the AT&T N3 board.

Yep. I got the phone and it works without root. Just says you can't do that and hit home to close that message and ignore it and keep tethering active.

Turn it on and hit the home button not cancel when you get the prompt to call VZW
Hit the notifications and select Hot spot Activated Tap to Configure and change the SSID and or the security to what you want.

Wifi tether for rooted users

Has anyone got this apk to work for the note 3? Is It Possible? I just want a tether apk that tells me the amount of data that's being used and this one is the only one I know of that does that correctly.

I found you can use wifi tether in native tether mode, but it resets the hot spot settings to default every time you turn it on. I, too, would like it to work properly because I like seeing how much data I use and the network speed.

Xperia Z1s from Tmobile

Quick question is there going to be a new thread for this device, the Tmobile Z1s? Also do any of the rooting,unlocking, and or any custom recoveries and roms work with the Z1s?

No sub forum for Z1s, no unlock bootloader, no root, no cutom recovery as of yet. And no you can't use international Z1 stuff,itll brick your device.

Thanks, good to know as I was planning on flashing the generic Canada firmware hoping to get rid of some restrictions (tethering) and bloatware.

Ah that's a bummer. Just swapped out my Z for the Z1s today and of course I'm came here first to see how to go about getting other FW on it for those exact reasons. Hopefully patience will pay off.
I have a question for Xperia z1S owners. Does this phone have hardware support for FM Transmitting? I don't have a car with an aux cable or Bluetooth so.. All of the music on my phone is inaccessible when I'm driving. But I'm hoping that the FM receiver can be made to transmit either natively or via 3rd party app?
I personally have the Z1s, and it has a built-in FM chip. You have to have a aux cable plugged into the 3.5mm jack for it to work though.

Why can't we get a sub-forum? There is like 4 different forums for the Galaxy S4 and the different carriers, same for Note III? There is enough difference between Z1 international and Z1s to warrant difference.

Ah but can you transmit to your cars radio onto an unused radio station? I know it can receive radio, but can it transmit your music through unused FM stations?

Just gave mine a shot. Turned it on, called my friend once the blue phone icon was up, icon turned green, call connected and worked fine. Afterwards I got a pop up saying congratulations you just completed your first wifi call.

I read something about it not working if you don't have a 911 address on file. Mine works wonderfully btw. No more buzz from my n4

Do you have an old sim or your 911 address not updated on your account? One of them could be the reason. Go to a tmobile store they will fix it up for you.

Any Solutions That Work for WiFi Tether

I can confirm the FoxFi does not work. The minute the phone recognizes there is bandwidth going to the connected devices it shuts down the feed and gives you the VZW nasty gram.
Has anyone got anything working?

Used to use portable wi-fi hotspot and just ignore the not subscribed message and it worked on the SGS4. It doesn't seem to work on here though.
unfortunately it looks like root is our only option once it comes out

Works perfectly however it will require a pin unlock all the time or installing certificates and uninstalling after done.

I just leave an easy 4 digit pin on all the time. Not worth the hassle of disabling and re-enabling it all the time.
I have to say I am fine with the 4 digit pin as a trade off... definitely not ideal... but I will take it in exchange for a working hotspot.

WiFi tether without root?

My buddy has a GS4 on Sprint and he has been unable to get the WiFi tether to work without paying extra for it. He doesn't want to unlock/root it. Is there a workaround without root?

Have you checked out FoxFi/PdaNet? Depending on the software level the phone is on, one or the other should work.

Foxfi doesn't work, pdanet won't help as we need WiFi tether for the Chromecast.
Thanks though

Which version? I tried using 2.16.2. When I try to start the hotspot, I see this:
Hotspot Error
You are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?
Cancel OK
No matter which option I pick, it never works. Thoughts?

I also tried the newest version of PdaNet, which I found out is basically also FoxFi. No luck there either.

Try Klink. Works great for me.

Oh. I think of a physical connection when someone says "tether". My apologies sir.
Now I'm thinking WiFi Hotspot. I obviously don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll bow out.
