I have the N5 and it drove me mad that they disabled these. there was an app that enabled them but not for MM, unkess anyone knows of such an app.
The store demo has the hotspot toggle.
Isn't that dependent on your plan? If you're on a fixed data plan (as opposed to the old grandfathered "unlimited" ones) tethering is included.
Went into att. No data toggle again. Why does att do that?

Because they make money selling data. It does have Wi-Fi calling though.

Anyone with the 3G version of the Xoom has the Verizon 3G Hotspot app come standard install? I don't see it on mine. I can't seem to find it on the app store either.
It's in Settings->Wireless & networks-->Tethering & portable hotspot
Enjoy!
oh, i saw that..didn't know that activated the app. thanks
It's not an app - it's an included feature in the OS w/Verizon
I would like to give my MyTouch 4g to my mom who is also on Tmobile. However, her plan doesn't include data. Is it possible to use the phone with her plan without racking up data charges? I'd essentially like to disable data over Tmobile and only use it over wifi. Can that be done? If so, how?
System settings/Wireless and network settings/ mobile networks/ uncheck data enabled.
This is for CM7 not sure about stock as I have never used it.

Turn off mobile data in quick settings in the notification bar
Sent from my T-Mobile MyTouch 4g
I tried turning off mobile networks in the quick settings and it mostly worked. However, a few minutes after I turned it off, the 4G sign came on and I was able to browse the internet. This only lasted for a minute or two and then I wasn't able to connect again. Any ideas what was going on?
I'll hand off the phone for now and run the experiment myself. I'll report if I notice data usage again.
If her plan doesn't have data, it wouldn't connect to data when she puts her sim in. My son has a Samsung Vibrant and doesn't have data on his line under our family plan and he's been that way for the past 3 years. So I wouldn't worry.

Yea I used a HTC magic without a data plan for a while. Carriers that say you must have a data plan with a smart phone are stupid. Don't listen to them.

You don't need it the data SOC for use the phone that only carrier advice to gain more money so relax even if the H, 3G, E appear that mean the device(phone) is trying to connect but wolr no go thru bc the required service does not exist on your TMO acount

Can anyone with HTC 8X or Nokia 822 confirm what happens when you turn on internet sharing with an unlimited data plan? Does it prompt you to call Verizon to activate a tethering plan? Or does it just work?
Its tells me to call Verizon and subscribe....nokia 822... I have rooted galaxy nexus I use for tethering

Carries suck.
This kind of stuff irks me. Why do they charge you more to use the exact same data?

I have a brand-new 8X. when I turn on IS, it says "connection not shared - Internet sharing isn't currently allowed." However I am not on the new all-share unlimited plan until the 20th, so maybe that's why.
I have a VZ unlimited data plan and after changing some settings, it just works.. before you get the agreement page to add it to your plan, but after going into edit mode: M.I.P. profile > DUN NM the info has your number @dun.vzw... just take out the dun and save.. but I have an HTC trophy... so may not be the same..
Is there any way to create an App that does this? Verizon recently lost a suit from the FCC that forced them to allow tethering apps from the android market for android phones. FoxFi and others now allow tethering no matter what plan you have.
If the access exists within WP8 it would be sweet to do the same thing, even if it has to be developer unlocked.
I was just coming here to find out if this was possible. I currently have a 32gb SIII and am getting ready to trade it for a 8X but need this to work. I am not willing to give up my unlimited plan though...
can we sue ATT, Verizon for tethering lock?

No we can't sue them about the lock. The reason they were able to go after them was because they blocked an app from the marketplace from working on their network.
That violated the agreement they signed with the FCC when they acquired the 700MHZ block which says “shall not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and application of their choice.”
So only Verizon is beholden to this and it would only apply to them blocking devices or apps. You might notice that devices part is pretty interesting

I have the HTC 8x and would love to get Internet Sharing working. Where is the "agreement page"?
Has anyone with an S5 rooted their phone and able to use Wifi tethering with the unlimited data plan? Or does anyone know if Foxfi works with the unlimited data plans now?
That's the only thing that's been holding me back from getting an S5 - I didn't want to give up my wifi tethering - actually I literally CAN'T give it up since it's my only internet in certain locations.
If I can get confirmation, I can go get me an S5!
Thanks!

Go get yourself that S5 yes "free" tethering works. I also have the unlimited data plan and foxfi works just fine and there are also other ways besides foxfi. There's a few threads on this.

Yup, that's exactly what I did :good:
I use FoxFi every day for tethering with UDP on my VZ S5 - it works great.

Moved to Q&A.
How can I enable for MVNO (StraightTalk) with Verizon S8 G950U device, Advanced Calling (HD calling VoLTE/simultaneous use of mobile and voice data)?
Device is rooted with PartCyborgRom/SamPWND method mentioned by @still_mohawk, #355.
Would switching to ST sim for AT&T or T-Mobile fix?
I believe both carriers do not restrict simultaneous use of mobile and voice data?
Note: StraightTalk Wireless services can use either big 4 carrier network.
Any thoughts to enable dual use data/voice would be appreciated, thank you for any help you can share!

Yes but it won't work, at least not with wifi calling. I forced mine and I just stopped getting phonecalls lol.
You can try volte I think everyone has that activated if you don't already have it on. Use the app "shortcut master" and find the secret code that takes you to the settings app for it
I loaded Shortcut Master and found VoLTETestUI (com.test.LTEfunctionality) favorited and opened settings, turned ON N/W settings and when making a call the LTE stays on but the phone immediately hangs up. I changed the mode starting at 0-9 but none worked to maintian LTE connection. Is there an "HVoLTE test mode" setting that will work? Is there an APN setting that will keep LTE on during calls for mobile data/browsing?

CyberFem, any luck with this? I'm in the same boat. Tried shortcut master, got as deep as you did. Can't get VoLTE to work with my verizon s8 on total wireless (verizon mvno). TIA
No luck here.
