any way to bypass tether wifi hotspot limit on s7 edge at the moment?
Bump. I tried adding dun to my apn (did it by creating a new apn with everything the same as the default one, but adding dun) but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks!
I'm using Pdanet+ usb tether and it hasn't picked up any of my usage on my laptop, that's what i was using on my note 4 when t-mobile starting picking up wifi tether as usage.
Try this...it should work

No need to have a plan from your carrier. I'm with ATT and have never had a tether plan, but I have been tethering for over a year on various device.....SSHHHHH!!!! don't tell

Does you're wifi tethering work? I can't get it to work.
It's installed, it's sending a signal, but I can't pick up the signal on any of my computers, phones, or tablets.
I'm using wireless tether 2.0.8.
Don't install another app (wireless tether).
Use the program that comes stock on your phone. You can find it under settings > wireless and network > tethering and portable hotspot > portable wi-fi hotspot settings.

Thanks. I guess I'll stick with this one.
I guess there is no point for anyone to write a kernel for this app to allow netfilter-enable, especially since the stock one actually shows up as a wifi signal as opposed to ad-hoc.
has anyone managed to use the wireless hotspot tether in a foreign country. I plan on traveling to a few countries where I will have a local sim with data activated (phone is sim unlocked) and I was wondering if I would be able to use the wireless hotspot. I currently have the att US tether mod.
Thanks
I have used an att atrix in aus with aus simcard and hotspot worked fine. Just had to edit the db file to add tether to the apn from memory

If wireless hotspot doesnt work you can use Wireless Tether or Barnacle.

Has anyone got tethering working for AT&T? I can turn on the native tethering, I can connect to it... But can't use the internet. Also, can't use the app "Wifi Tether for Root." Just got my N4 today, all I've done so far is unlock the bootloader and root it. Everything is stock.
Tethering works perfectly on my N4 on AT&T, all stock no root. internet works on the phone and on the tethered device.
What are your APN settings? May have something to do with it. I can tether just fine and I'm on at&t.

Hi there,
I have a data plan of 500MB with Rogers Canada (on which tethering is not enabled). When I setup my phone as a wifi hotspot (or USB tether), a computer connects to the phone but there is no internet connection. Is this because tethering is not enabled on my sim card? If yes, how can the provider enforce it and is there a workaround for it?
Thanks for your time.

It's most likely your plan that does not offer tethering.
I am on AT&T, have no problem tethering on a stock job 4.2.2 ROM.
What happens when you enable hotspot on your phone?
Also, have you tried other WiFi tethering apps like foxfi?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
The connection between the phone and the computer is established but there is no internet connection.
Foxfi doesn't support nexus 4. It force closes when I enable its wifi tethering.

Does anyone of a non root or root wifi tether app that works with the Nexus 5?
I plan to root the phone but I'm still not sure if I want to install another ROM since it is snappy already. ( I usually root to OC and use Wifi Tether )
WiFi hotspot is built into the phone as is. There is no need to install an app.

Not necessary as this is built in to stock.
Thanks guys! Yeah I was just wondering...
I don't want AT&T finding out and then charging me the hotspot fee.
is built in tether 100% secure like other apps? i read that built in tether has many security problems!

***Does Not Work on Sprint unless you pay extra***
Where is the icon for it? Or how do I launch it? not seeing it anywhere......
Settings>More>Teathering & portable hotspot.
I`ve tried different roms and my hotspot is not working, is sending me to the t-mobile upsell page.
I have unlimited data with T-Mobile with 2.5 gbs included of hotspot. I already past my hotspot data but still running it. I noticed if I have my APN Protocol IPv4 it let's me use my phone data as a hotspot even after I used up my provided hotspot data. If I switch it to IPv6, it bans me from using my data as a hotspot

Okay so pretty much using the built in tether app is a no go. I'm not going to pay for hotspot. If anyone knows of a WiFi tether app that works with nexus 5 let everyone know. (I'm on AT&T). Will be receiving phone first week in Dec.

The built in one doesn't work because it tags all packets with a "hotspot" data tag which is then being denied by your carrier because it's hotspot data which you didn't pay for. Either the internal program needs to be modified to not tag the data, or another app which doesn't tag data should be used to get a free wireless hotspot.

Exactly - this is true for ALL Android handsets running Android 4.3 and above.
Previously, we've been able to get away with it unless your phone was running a carrier-specific ROM with the packet tagging enabled - but now it's part of the Android subsystem.
If your carrier is setup to track this, they now can.
I'm lucky with mine - they seem to only care if I tether a laptop to my phone. If I tether a tablet or another phone, it's fine.. Different traffic I guess! So I just use a VPN on my laptop, and it goes undetected.
Here's a workaround for the uninitiated ones.... Should work on most mobile devices. You'll probably need a VPN if you want to tether a laptop.

Make sure to follow directions closely.
I used a program called SQLite Editor which can be found at the play store. (YOUR PHONE MUST BE ROOTED)
Open SQLite Editor.
Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
Edit settings.db by adding a line "tether_dun_required" and set the value to "0".
Also make sure your APN settings use IPV4.
I've rebooted my phone after doing this and the edit stuck and tethering worked.
Best of luck!
Excellent man, it worked like a charm, thanks
I solved with this app: WiFi Tether Router
on Google Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
the developer has done a compatible update
I contacted the developer via email and he told me after a few hours
the developer advised me to select these settings
Interface wlan0
Method 0 - Auto
works also with
Interface wlan0
Method 2
this one seems to work for me.. wifi works but i choose to usb tether https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en
also paid version is better then free
I would really like to bypass the T-Mobile 2.5GB limit.
