Here's a tip to get wifi tether on a rooted s4.
I have been trying to get the wifi tether to work, on my s4, with the wifi tether app from my rooted HTC Rezound but i can't get it to work. If youi have unlimited data you are restricted from free wifi from verizon.
I just installed Smart wifi Tether and it works perfectly on my newly rooted S4 :victory:
You can find it in Google play.

Getting a Photon tomorrow (got a deal on craigslist) and I was wondering if there was a way to get free wifi tethering while retaining 4g? Thanks in advance.
Should work with 4G/3G.

Make sure you have 4G turned off before activating the hotspot. Then enable 4G and it should work. Data Enabler widget from the Market works good for this.
Can we get some tethering support going on here?
I think The Base has it, but my phone refuses to boot that ROM for some reason.

If you have root, you can get Barnacle from the Play Store.

I had problems with unauthorized tethering on my iPhone (used to get the warning messages to cease or they would switch my grandfathered in "unlimited" data plan). then I just used pdanet and set it to hide the tether and had no problems.
now with android I've got pdanet again which uses foxfi for the wifi tether. foxfi hides the tether with an addon that also requires you to setup a proxy connection (your android) on your computer.
I used FoxFi and PDANet+ to get wifi tether any chance there is another wifi app I can get that will let me share my 4G LTE through wifi?
Yea I used WiFi Tether for root users and worked great. You can even set a password. Why not use your system tether though/

WiFi Tether not working
I have used the wifi tether for some time on my rooted devices. With the last update that pushed out by Verizon, I am now getting the message "your carrier has blocked wifi tethering with version 4.1". Does someone have a work around they can share?
As of yesterday Foxfi (wifi hotspot) has been blocked on my MetroPCS phone. My guess is that it has to do with Metropcs' T-mobile merger. Foxfi is on, updated, but my wifi hotspot is not being broadcast. I went to update Foxfi via the Google Play store and saw something to the effect of "if you have t-mobile use usb connection). So the app does NOT work with Metropcs/Tmobile now.
Is there a hack for this? My phone is already rooted. I use my lg motion and pdanet+ as a usb tether for my laptop and also as a wifi hotspot with Foxfi for an Android Tablet.
?
Does anyone have have any advice?

What's the latest phone you can buy through verizon that can be rooted and native WiFi tether activated?
Thanks
