It was bound to be a question on here so has anyone even had the device long enough to figure this out? I can get the unlimited account but hotspot is limited so i would like to use the unlimited data and tether as well. Any ideas?

WiFi Tether Router

I use the WiFi Tether Router found here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en

I've had my S6 for two days now and have used this app a fair amount and haven't seen any change in my mobile hot spot data. So I assume it's working fine like it did on my Note 4. Only difference is the way it's configured.

Remember - Add new Apn For Tethering

:

Name: T-Mobile Tethering

APN: fast.t-mobile.com

Proxy: Not set

Port: Not set

Username: Not set

Password: Not set

Server: Not set

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS proxy: Not set

MMS port: Not set

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

Authentication type: Not set

APN type: default,supl,mms

APN protocol: IPv4

APN roaming protocol: IPv4

WiFi Tether Configuration

:

Always Allow Scanning: Unchecked

-Network Name SSID – I just added my name at the end: IE WiFiTether-Glen

-Encryption: wpa2-psk (which should be default anyways)

-WiFi Password: I left stock

-WiFi Channel: 1

-Interface: wlan0

-Method: HostApd

-No Firmware Reload: Unchecked

-Drivers: Default setting of nl80211

-WiFi Mode: G ( maybe this could be different but I don’t mess with it)

-Keep Screen on: Unchecked

-Prevents Stand-By: Checked

Last but not least

:

-Go Into your WiFi (regular Wifi, not the Tether router Wifi) and delete all existing WiFi network connections so when you turn your WiFi on you're "Not" connected to any network.

-Then you can turn on the WiFi Tether router and it should work fine.

-After you get it set up, you should be able to go back and set up those WiFi networks like before .

-Reference here for what I just explained: http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/help/hotspot-tethering-t2904713/page4 and see post #37

Good Luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] vtec2k7:
thanks for the help. appreciate it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] glensta:
My pleasure. One thing I forgot to add is that when turning on the Wifi router, you first have to turn your WiFi on itself but you can't be connected to any WiFi Connections. In Other words I went into my WiFi settings and deleted all my WiFi connections. Then I turned on the WiFi (again without connecting to any WiFi networks), then I turned on the Wifi Tether Router.

Hope that made sense. I'll adjust my other post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fenny:
I will look into enabling native tether when I get my device later tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] atv73:
Anyone get foxfi to work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Cinghialino:
The app liked at the beginning of the thread requires root permission.

Is there any other app to do this without rooting?

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fenny:
You can run quicksshd or another dropbear ssh server, do adb forward of the ssh port, then open a dynamic port (socks proxy) using ssh on linux/unix or putty on windows. Any sort of wifi tethering without a plan will require root at SOME point though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Eratrion:
Set mine up exactly like your other post with no luck. According to T-Mobile my account, the tethering allotment is going up.

Edit: looks like it is just Netflix that ramps up the data allotment. Weird. Everything else appears okay thus far.

Edit 2: after switching it off and on now Netflix is working without issue too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fenny:
Be aware that T-Mobile does scan for desktop HTTP headers. If they detect that you are using (for instance) IE on Windows on a Mobile APN, they will not give you any sort of message, they just deduct it from your account. When you hit your tethering cap you can tell if you are being blocked because of the wrong apn if the url of the upsell page contains "pcweb". if so you will have to make sure it is not using the wrong apn. Otherwise they are just detecting your http headers, and you will need to spoof them for whichever browsers you are using. (The steam in-app browser always gets me when I forget.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] vtec2k7:
im really just looking to be able to stream movies from home and it would be nice to just use the phone as my external line while at work but maybe there will be a solution like a hdmi out to my monitor at work and then i wont really need the tethering because i have an unlimited account with no throttling so no need to worry about usage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] glensta:
Yeah I hear what your saying. It depends sometimes what your tethering to. For example tethering to a laptop is more risky. The app will work sometimes and at other times the mobile data will get hit. With a laptop it's good to use spoofed browsers. I've used the google chrome browser and spoofed it as Safari and that worked pretty good. When tethering my android tab or any other android based device, my mobile data rarely gets hit.

So IMO it's a very good app but not perfect, our mobile hotspot data can get hit at times depending. Just keep a close eye on it, try different things etc.

-Good Luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] OldManJax:
I have been using the wifi tether router app for a long time now with my Surface Pro 3 without issue. First with my Note 4 and now with my S6. The key is to modified got T-Mobile US APN to ipv4. I use able 120gb a month. That is with 2 Windows laptop's and 2 phones tethering every day at work. No using user agents as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fenny:
I have native tether working. I'll post the mod instructions a bit later after work, or sooner if I catch a break.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DC2CA:
Using this I'm getting around 10% the speed of what my phones connection is... Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] glensta:
No clue sorry. For me it just depends on the area I'm in, how strong my data signal is, and even at that I get about 50 percent to 75 percent of my normal mobile data speed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] coffeeclutch:
I think.. you lose data speed because you are transferring data from the phone to the target.

kind of like how if you hook up your computer to your router via ethernet you get faster speeds then if you connected to your router with a wireless card. Also, wireless routers are designed to transfer data wirelessly. I dont think our phones are designed to this.

I think if you change the wifi tether pro's settings to N mode instead of G mode you should get faster speeds. why? because N routers are more expensive then G routers.

just a novice's guess.

thanks for the information you guys post on this website btw. You guys are what makes android phones worth having.

On a separate note, i'm sure T mobile techs read these forums..

can you not stream netflix from your phone to your tv with google's hdmi dongle?

Is there a way to USB tether (root or not) without T-Mobile finding out? I know about PDANet, but you loose netflix with that option.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] mitty:
I was running AKU 3.3 Asburg or whatever it's called. For some unexplained reason my phone is now bricked... I only get the "HTC Innovation" screen. I can enter into bootloader and when I plug in It says USB on the screen, but no ROM updater will recognise it and my PC does not even recognise it.

I'm wondering is there anyway to flash a rom from the SD card, at least enough to get it going? I've looked everywhere, I know you could do this with the Magician, can it be done with the Prophet? My phone is IPL 2.13.0001 and SPL 2.20.0001.

The 3.3 ran fine for ages and just today stopped working I just don't understand!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] NetrunnerAT:
Flash from Rom ... i am not sure, but this only work with CID unlocked devices.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] mitty:
yes my phone is cid unlocked.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] deezer:
reinstall activesync and try again to flash in bootloader
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] NetrunnerAT:
You need:

A terminal program that can speak over the USB port. (Download ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com//Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-tools/TeraTermPro_WinCE_USB.zip)

A CID-unlocked device (it will NOT work if it's NOT CID-unlocked!)

A SD card of 128MB or larger (buy a 128MB for just this purpose, as its a great backup device)

To Dump the ROM:

Get into the tri-color screen (bootloader) (hold CAMERA, reset) and plug into the USB port.

Kill wcescomm.exe from Windows XP using the Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DELETE) (this is the ActiveSync driver for the USB port)

Start Tera Term

Hit "return" to insure you have a command prompt.

Make sure your 128MB SD card is in the slot.

Type "r2sd all" and hit return.

The loader will dump the entire ROM (including extended ROM) to the SD card.

Note that this is NOT a file on a FAT filesystem - its a RAW data dump with a signature and checksum. As such you CAN NOT read it onto your computer - you need a tool like "psdread" to read it from the card to a file on your PC.

Stick the card somewhere safe.

To Restore the ROM:

Insert the SD with the power off in the Prophet, then power on while holding the CAMERA button.

Press the Comms button on the side when it tells you.

Note that the prompt only comes up for a few seconds and then it will continue to enter the bootloader.

Its from Wiki ... its not a FAT Format ... this means ... i cant tell you how to Flash over SD-Card, if you havent make a own Dump.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kevinb84:
Hey all,

So it's almost been 24 hours with the edge. All in all I love the phone. The design, and build quality are finally on par with what you would expect from a flagship device. Anyway, my problem seems to be a few quirks that I've noticed while trying to set up my new phone similarly to my s4.

So I use Nova Launcher because of the flexibility it offers me in it's features and customization. One of my more commonly used features is the gestures , with swiping down specifically set to expand my notifications. I don't seem to be able to use this feature at all with the edge and I'm wondering if this is a Touchwiz feature that is overriding nova?

The other problem I immediately noticed was that there was no longer an option for direct dial or direct message which I used all of the time! If there is anyone that may use nova with an edge that could help me out or maybe just verify that would be great.

Thanks all!

-Kevin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KryptosXLayer2:
Direct dial works for me, but not the gesture associated with pulling down notifications - I'm having exactly the same issue you are with that. Just about all the other gestures work, but not for notification bar. I've tried doing other gestures to get the notification bar to pull down, but none of them work. Was a good feature I liked with Nova, but this is more of an issue with Nova that you / we can address with them directly I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kevinb84:
Yeah, my bad I should clarify that upon importing my nova settings to the new phone, my direct dial and direct message both worked but I was unable to add any new contacts with this feature.

I accidentally deleted my wife's direct message and had to import again to get it working properly.

You're right to contact the developers directly. Probably a feature that just needs tweaked for the next update. Thanks for helping me verify this though!

-Kevin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mp2ning:
I am using the Nova Launcher Beta app and both features are working on the Galaxy S6 Edge. It asks for Accesibility permission to be able to Expand the Notifications but after you grant the permissions it works as expected. I also added a Contact shortcut to the Launcher correctly.

Hold tight for Nova to update the regular app or join the Beta program to enjoy those features now. I have not found anything bad with the Beta so far.

Pito
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kevinb84:
That's great!

Signed up, and downloaded the beta in a matter of minutes! As you said I was prompted to accept the ability to expand notification and now I feel like my phone is complete!

Thanks Pito!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzezjonezee:
Hi everyone, I have the AT&T Nexus 6 and I have tried downloading widgets from the Play Store but none of them shows in the widget drawer when I try to add one to my home screen. I have read reviews and forums saying that the apps/widgets need to be moved from the SD card to the device itself. The problem is that the nexus device does not even have an SD card slot so that option is not available. Can someone please help me ,is there an option to enable the widgets function without rooting?:confused: Thanks so much in advance.

Not working. It can't answer the call. Phone keeps ringing..

Yes, Maybe i have To explain it better! :)

Anyway does it work for you? :)

Edit:

Which Android version do you have?

It doesn't work on Android 5+
[Android Apps and Games] Rsroms:
It can work with Android 5+ LP as well. You simply need a standalone plugin for it available at PS.

Btw its same as you referred earlier on " Call Monitor Locale Plugin".

Very Nice & useful info. And well explained as well (Y)
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
I have to install Lollipop to find a workaround. Anyway that plugin "Call Monitor Local Monitor" automatically answer to the call as there is an incoming call. Maybe i will use intents and something else :)
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
I am on kitkat 4.4

Maybe it does not work in MiUi ... It can't answer the call.

Also I am kind of noob to tasker. May be I am doing something wrong. After doing all the steps, i turn the toggle for all three profiles to on mode. But in notification, tasker says, no profile active.
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Could you send a screenshot of the Task "Voicemail Enter"?

Anyway some tasker's functions are not allowed on every ROMS.
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
Check them out
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
It seems strange as you have Take Call. Take call is an action that answer the call. I hope you have the latest version of Tasker... I Also had some problems with profiles in General. Try to make a simple profile. For example:

-State: When connected to WiFi

Add an enter task with "Open app" action! :)

Let me know.. Thank you! :)
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
I tried to create a simple profile. To turn off data when wifi is connected. And its working when i push the play button inside the task i.e. Mobile data turns off. Which means tasker can handle the thing. But when i connect to wifi, mobile data does not turn off. That means automatic working of profiles is not working. Maybe its because, notification of tasker still says 'no active profiles' in the notification shade

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Sorry. My simple profile is working. I made a change to it, to turn off mobile data when i open calculator. And its working fine..
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Okay let's check if Take call doesn't work!

1. Make a Call to your Voicemail Phone :') 2. Don't answer the call... But open tasker. Move to task tab and open "Voicemail Enter"

3. Make a Long press on the action "Take call" then click on The play button situated on the left bottom!

If you get the call answered then we have To check why the profile is not getting enabled on incoming call event! :)
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
Okay, i asked my friend to call me. He called, while the phone was ringing, i switched to tasker, and did what you said. And voila, call got answered. So i guess the profile is not getting activated on incoming call event..
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
So Take Call works perfectly... As I said before check if you have the latest Tasker Version! :)

There is a problem on the incoming call feature... Did you try to close tasker and Shutdown the screen? After this try to get a call ;)
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
Hey, its working now.. Thanx a lot. It was some permission problem. I added tasker to trusted apps and it started to work..

Awesome work.. It will be magic if somehow you can make the speech file play through the audio up link. Because its not properly heard at the other end when played through the speaker.. Still.. Hats off to you...
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Could you share your solution and what ROM are you running? I'll add it in OP!:D

Anyway Yes... i am trying to send the Audio directly with no results yet ... I wanna ask you something.. Does the recording plays with SpeakerPhone?? :D
[Android Apps and Games] remiotte:
Can you link to that plugin? Sorry - can't find it.

I'm on LP 5.0.2 and "Take call" action is not available.
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Call Monitor Tasker Plug-in

I'll explain what does that plugin do.

It's a simple plugin that allows you to trigger some action when call starts or ends. So this plugin will not allow you to replace the task called "Take Call" as you have to manually answer to the incoming call to get the profile activated. However i'm trying to figure out what i can do to get this Project also working on Lollipop. I guess... i have to Install Lollipop on my Note 4 to get started ! :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] remiotte:
Mmmm, so that plugin wouldn't save the day. I'll have to wait for you to do just that.

You can have dual boot on the Note 4, btw. keep your current rom and install a CM12 on the side. Hint: worth it.
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Thanks for the advice. I'll do as you said!

Somehow I hope it works for my International Note 4.
[Android Apps and Games] a.broken.star:
I am on MiUi. In permission settings, i granted all permissions to tasker. And it could then take call. Otherwise tasker was not allowed to answer call.

Yep. My recorded voice msg played through the speaker, i could hear it, people near me could hear that (that's awkward). But the person on the other side could barely hear that..
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Thanks. i will add this info inside the OP. Stay tuned for any further updates!!! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Good news guys. Today I have installed Lollipop on my Note 4 and I got Take Call feature working.. Hmm.. Not the Take Call but I made a workaround to answer the Incoming Call! :D
[Android Apps and Games] ivifly:
Hi There

Got problem here..

Tasker dont take the call but play the voice and i get this error message..

1) unsuportet media format

2) media recorder cant be startet

My rom is a 4.03 custom rom

Amy idear?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Hey bro i have unlimited ideas on this project [emoji14]

I realized that Take Call is not supported on every devices! As i made a workaround for Lollipop this will also work on other OS!

Open the "VoiceMailEnter" (Inside Tasks) and delete Take Call (Action number 3). Now add a new task Code -> Run Shell and inside Command put:

input keyevent 79

Note: Move this action down the 2nd action !!!

For the unsupported media:

Make sure you have selected the right media file

Try to record another Greeting message.. if still doesn't work try to choose a normal MP3 file.

Let me know, bye ! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] remiotte:
still doesn't work for me. the task stops at that new action.
[Android Apps and Games] Jertlok:
Sorry :')

The command is:

input keyevent 79

Sorry for the mistake!!!

Np, thank you for the fast answer!

I will report you my work.

Would there be any way, with root, to use microphone vs speaker? Curious but I want this for my work phone and cannot have it playing the recorded speech while on silent on a sales floor.
[Android Apps and Games] remiotte:
Yes! this works.

Other mildly annoying problem, though - after disconnecting the call from the caller's phone, mine would just keep recording forever. i could not play the recording but only witness the file size go up endlessly - until i rebooted the phone. Even after that, still couldn't play the file. But at least it wasn't growing anymore.

Re-tried - reproduced.

the call screen appears. When i hang up on the other phone, mine goes back to the lockscreen. when i unlock it it shows the log screen - but empty. the call i just made isn't shown.

i open a file explorer, navigate to the recordings folder - the file is there, but keeps growing.

ideas?
