OK, I just thought I'd drop a line here real quick for everyone. I have been searching for a while for an app that would work just like the Wifi Tether from Muller I used on all my previous devices. Like everyone else here, I tried several things and nothing seemed to work. I had no interest running FoxFi with the screenlock. I just wanted to be able to hit my app and have wifi tethering.

I am running stock ME7, rooted only, and I am currently posting this from my wifi tether using "Wifi Tether Router."

I have not posted much here, so it wont let me link. The app was created by Fabio Grasso and has a green wifi icon on a white background.

Search Play for net.snclab.wifitetherrouter and it should find it.

It is a $1.95, which I was happy to pay once I found out it works. That is a heck of a lot less than $30/Month, and worth every penny so far.

As the author suggested, I am using method #3 "HostApd", other than that I set the SSID, and the encryption key, leaving the rest default.

It DOES require root though.

About the only thing that I disliked, was it seemed to take a while for it to actually enable, but once on it seems to run solid.

I spent hours trying all the other suggestions in this thread to get Wifi Tether working on my stock rooted ME7 until I reached this post. Worked like a charm. Also using method #3 "HostApd".

foxfi, wifi tether app, or differnt rom

foxfi is an app that is just like the wifi tether app(not in market anymore:( ) but doesnt require root and if you flash a new rom it most of the time has free wifi tether built in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tynox:
where can i find it?, thanks

where can i find this app, foxfi.....?, please, send me a link, or by email, im in cuba, really hard to surf the web, thanks

I cannot get the Wifi Tether app to start without errors on my S4. It is mk2 baseband. I tried the OPs settings and also the S4 profile. I cannot find a setting for MSS Clamping. Where did that go?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
Please keep in mind kitkat apparently breaks wifi tether mode for a lot of devices. This is per the dev.

I am on sprint 4.3. thank you, though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
WiFi Tether stopped working for me with MK2. I shelled out a few bucks for FoxFi and it works fine. It doesn't require root.

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

Maybe it's just blocked for your carrier? Try putting your phone in airplane mode, then connecting to the Internet via WiFi, then look for it in the Play Store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] z50king:
Ahh, thank you. I have always used WifiTether and was hoping to get the continued service. I just installed a recovery so I am making a nand and will flash the files for the native tether in the settings. Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
Also, in case you're not aware, PowerToggles is a free widget that will turn on/off the stock tethering (even for Unlimited Data plans, which is what I have) and does not require root. I actually stopped using WiFi Tether and started using that a while back. But, it was actually PT that quit working that pushed me into buying FoxFi.

So, if you're hacking around trying to avoid shelling out for FoxFi, you might try that. You have to install PT, then put a PT widget on your home screen, then run PT from the app tray to configure the widget and add the Tethering toggle button to the widget. It's not displayed by default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] z50king:
But it doesn't work anymore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawiler:
Have you tried the built in tethering in ES file explorer? There's no settings to mess with, it just works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stephen44:
nope - still get the verizon warning page and HS shuts down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawiler:
Strange, maybe it's the ROM I'm on (Hyperdrive)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stephen44:
so foxfi works on 4.3 and pops up and warns you not to upgrade to Kit Kat

you do the hash nolockscreen

setup a lock screen

enable HS - allow vpn etc

and then it works fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetachi:
Ha. The es file explorer worked when everything else failed.

Thanks

Stock Rooted wifi-tether

Delayed response: I'm also rooted on stock. Powertoggles used to work for me, but i started having issues and bought foxfi. First attempt makes the stock tether app crash. (Basically, foxfi forces the stock tether app to run) Uncheck then recheck foxfi's wifi tethering option and it tether perfectly. Never had any problems. Makes me scared to update to kitkat because i heard there will be additional complications to prevent wifi tethering without a subscription to tether from the service provider.

App to Enjoy WiFi Tethering without Root:

If you have no root access on your Android device and wish to enjoy WiFi tethering, the Google Play Store has a very useful app for the purpose. You can install the FoxFi (WiFi Tether w/o Root) app:

FoxFi (WiFi Tether w/o Root) Download @

Google Play

Update for Verizon Galaxy S4 (Android 4.3):

Please note that with the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updating coming to Galaxy S4, the tethering method given above no longer works now as it has been licked by the carrier. However, you can still unlock and start enjoy tethering on VRUEMJ7 (Android 4.3) if you have root access on your Verizon Galaxy device. Make sure to follow the steps carefully and correctly.

1. Download the following zip file corresponding to your firmware build version and unzip it:

MJ7_tether_unlock.Zip [Mirror Link]

MK2_tether_unlock.Zip

2. Copy the extracted folder to the external SD card of your phone. Make sure the path of the file is as follows: /mnt/extSdCard/MJ7_tether_unlock/

3. Download the Terminal Emulator app from the market:

Android Terminal Emulator Download @ Google Play

4. Launch Terminal Emulator, grant it root permission when prompted.

5. Now type the following command in the terminal box. If you have downloaded the MK2 version, type MJ7_tether_unlock instead:

su

cd /mnt/extSdCard/MJ7_tether_unlock/

sh tether.sh

6. Doing this will replace your phone’s stock framework with the modified one and thus tethering will be unlocked.

7. Your Galaxy S4 will reboot automatically and when it boots up, you will be ready to tether away.

Please note that after following the steps given above, you’ll have a backup of the original framework-res.apk. You can find the backup file in the following path on your Galaxy S4: /mnt/extSdCard/MJ7_tether_unlock/orig-framework-res.apk. In case you later decide to restore back the original file, run the following command in Terminal Emulator app:

su

cd /mnt/extSdCard/MJ7_tether_unlock/

sh untether.sh

Enjoy tethering on your Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 and do not forget to share with us how it works for you. Cheers!

Hi all, just moved up to an s4 from razr maxx and am trying to get tethering working. I am on MK2 and rooted and have xposed installed.

What settings did you use on the rezound? I'd like to get that working on my wife's phone. We like the ability to manage individual connections to the tether so we prefer wifi tether over stock or pda.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
I'm unclear on what settings you're asking about. The settings for the stock hotspot? The settings for WiFi Tether?

For stock, I just used WPA2 security, broadcast SSID: Yes.

For WiFi Tether, I can't say for sure, but I think there was actually a setting added to it for the Rezound. Before that, I think I used ICS Global. But, if you search for posts from me in the Rezound forum, you should be able to find what I used. It's just been too long, so I don't remember for sure now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] craigviar:
I saw one person ask and no one answered. The MSS clamping setting is missing. It's not there.

I have MJ7 and Hyperdrive 15 with standard kernel.

At first when I tried using foxfi I did get the subscription message but then it went away. And now I can use the built in tethering without the message popping up as well. I don't know why because I didn't change anything accept the upgrade from Hyperdrive 14 to 15. I'd still like to get wifi tether to work though as I prefer it.

Yes I was asking about wifi tether app. Ok I'll look for it in rezound section.

Thanks

Thank you! Worked awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sRDennyCrane:
I still use FoxFi like I have since my Razr Maxx. It's a little more involved now, after the 4.4.2 update... but it just boils down to 3 clicks and you have your wifi hotspot up and running. It was a couple bucks for the unlocked app, but I've used it for years without a problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Im super confused, a lot of you simply ignored my question earlier so ill try asking again. Why are you guys paying for solutions when I provided you guys with a free solution that enables native wifi hotspot?

I have a verizon samsung galaxy s4 build number ng6 im trying to get the free wifi tether and to be honest have no clue where to start please help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lomallin:
Unfortunately I was never able to get any free methods to work on stock Verizon S4 with root. I did find that WiFi Tether Router https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en work for me on NC5 and it worked like a champ visiting my sister and her cable connection was junk so I used it all day for my job VPN.

On NG6 it starts up and runs without errors, but I have not been able to fully test it yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toaster22:
To gain access to free tethering, you can either find an app that doesn't require root in the store and use that. Or you can root and use an app from the app store. Or you can root, install Safestrap 3.75 and install a zip to gain access to the phone's default hotspot share tool... thing.

First you'll need to follow the steps in this guide to gain root for NG6: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufng6-t2905848

Or you can use this to downgrade and just stay on NC5: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 (it sounds like the no-wipe method is working for people)

Then you can use the .zip that Surge create to enable tethering on the NC5. That module can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868 (search the first page for "zip to add tethering here"). You can also get the .zip file here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491962487. Either way, you'll need to install it using Safestrap.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask or search the linked forms above. Most of the info should be in the links above, or referenced in a youtube video.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
I have been asked by people as to WHY would you want to root your phone? Or the big question...what is rooting?

So this is what I tell them when one of these questions is asked.

Lets say you bought a brand new Mustang Gt. You paid for it and it belongs to you. But you notice that Ford has only certain options available to you and all the others are locked down. But this is YOUR car. But the PCM is locked down and your stuck with the options Ford wants you to have.

But...help is here. You find out that your PCM can be unlocked (rooted) so you can have access to your cars full potential.

Your brand new phone is just like the Mustang until you unlock its full potential.

So I ask you...root or not to root?

[One (M7) Accessories] Yaminashi:
Hi guys, I need a new case but have a couple questions about the causes I've narrowed it down to. I'm a student so I want to eliminate the need for having to buy another case if I dislike my purchase.

I have 2 tpu cases currently that were cheap at local cell shops.

The first one flexes too much where the volume rocker is so it causes my screen protector to bubble every time I press it. SUPER annoying.

The second seems to be somehow scratching the edges of glass that arent protected by my screen pro.

I'm guessing this case is a bit looser and has minimal movement and allows small particles to find their way in between the glass and the case.

I'm torn between two cases and I need some info on them that I havent been able to find reading the forums or from watching youtube reviews.

1) Incipio frequency: My main concern with this case is the sides flexing and causing my screen protector to bubble. Is there anyone that owns this case and can comment on this?

2) Seidio Surface: I've always wondered about just how snug these 2 piece cases are. Does the phone have enough space in the case that it is allowed to rattle at all? or is it just snug enough to keep the phone stable without scratching it?

COLES NOTES

-Need new case

-Incipio frequency or Seidio surface

-Will incipio case cause screen pro to bubble when volume rocker pressed

-Will seidio surface slowly scratch away at the aluminum finish/curved glass edges

All input is appreciated:cyclops:
[One (M7) Accessories] theomni:
So I'm writing this because of the "All input is appreciated"

Will you consider a third case? If so, take a look at the Trident Aegis case. You can find it brand new on eBay for $20 with shipping. I've used their cases before and they look extremely nice and on top of that, they do a good job with protecting the phones. I bought one brand new from eBay and I just got it today. It looks really top-notch. I'm waiting for my phone to come in. Hopefully I'll have it tomorrow so I can play around with it and give you some more feedback on Friday.
[One (M7) Accessories] vdragonlance:
I've had the Seidio surface for over a month and so far no scratches on the glass or aluminum body. The inside of the case is soft with a carbon fiber sticker covering the inside. The phone fits snuggly but I can see a problem if you use a thick screen protector because of the tight fit.

All the cutouts are perfect with a nice beveled edge for the camera.

The case doesn't add a lot of extra bulk, which is the reason I got, I hate giant bulky cases.
[One (M7) Accessories] Yaminashi:
Thanks for the replies guys!

I checked out the Triden Aegis but there's something about it I just didn't like.

I ended up ordering an incipio dual pro. I like the fact that the silicon insert seems to be more rigid than normal silicon inserts
[One (M7) Accessories] Testingchip:
I have a surface and uag. Had the surface first and like the feel but it doesn't really offer much protection. I saw the write-up on the uag and gave it a try. My surface stays on the ready but I haven't used it since receiving the uag.
[One (M7) Accessories] Yaminashi:
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

My incipio dualpro finally came in and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. I had my doubts after ordering that it would be too bulky or the silicon insert would be too flimsy.

I'm pleased to say that this case exceeded my expectations. There is some bulk added, however it isnt bad. It gives the phone some heft and just feels a little more solid. Fitment is perfect.

The only negative so far is that the volume rocker is a little harder to press

What will I be missing out on if i do not get super CID, will viper rom be restricted in any way, will i just not be able to install sprint roms etc.
