can i use the onboard usb tethering on the s4 with out verizon charging me extra for tethering?
If you are rooted, then you can just download a tether app from the play store. If not, you can still find a app like PDAnet that will let you USB tether.

I obviously don't have 4g in my house, I turn on hotspot and the phone says the xbox us connected, but the xbox won't connect to live.. Any help? Phones not rooted I'm using the built in hotspot, is that extra charge?
Yeah if you are stock not rooted you need to pay for it.

Geez, so I guess they shouldn't call my plan"everything unlimited" is there a way to tether using wireless n?
I've got a computer with no wireless or hardline capability,I know I can tether my phones connection to the computer but does anyone know of an application that will allow me to use my phone as a wireless modem...I don't have a wireless USB stick..I have this phone,a computer,and a wireless router

After install drivers you can do usb tethering. No need of router. Just a usb cable.
And after that you can google for uot.
I found a link to LG support tool,good idea ? Androidforums had the link or do you have something better for LG Usb drivers

First off, my rezound is NOT rooted. I use Foxfi on it and can tether using the bluetooth option to my nexus 7, but a lot of the applications don't recognize it as an actual internet connection (example: i can browse around the play store but when i try to download an app it just gets stuck at waiting for network.) Before the ICS update Foxfi wouldn't even let me turn on the WiFi hotspot function. After the ICS update it will now turn on the WiFi hotspot but my nexus 7 will not connect to it. It just gets stuck at "acquiring IP address" and will not go passed that.
tl;dr if someone can help me use my rezounds wifi hotspot to tether to my N7 without having to root i would greatly appreciate it.
What is stopping you from root? I wouldn't even have a smartphone if I couldn't root it. That said, I believe there are decent rootless tether apps.

For one, I don't have a computer to root with and I really just don't want to go through the hassle or void my warranty. I've tried a lot of apps but none of them seem to let anything connect to the hotspot. Seems like it's something internal blocking it. I should probably have mentioned that I am on a grandfathered unlimited plan. Do you know of any hotspot tether apps I could try that might work?

Maybe try clock work mod. I don't know though because I have root.
Edit
I don't actually have a clue, it is possible there isn't a good rootless tether app that doesn't require usb

I was on a beta test for a a bluetooth networking app from Open Garden. Try searching that in the Play Store.

Edit the title of this thread to Tethering UNROOTED Rezound with Nexus 7. I bet you'll get more relevant people clicking in here.
Don't want to root your phone? You'll have to pay to activate Verizon's built in wifi tether most likely.
I am curious to know why I can get 40mbps down and 20mbps up on my Note 2 but when I tether I only get about 5mbps down & 3mbps up on my desktop or laptop...? I know there would be a loss of SOME bandwidth but it seems like they are throttling tethering usage? I live right next to the tower so I guess I am lucky as far as that goes but I have used several apps and I just can't get the speed I would like... Any thoughts? TIA
How are you tethering? Bluetooth, USB, Wifi? I've only ever used bluetooth and wifi, and bluetooth was about 10 times slower than wifi on my Nexus.

Is there a way to connect via usb with the note 2 and not be charged extra because one is on the unlimited plan?

Same here. I get about 10 to 11 down on average on my phone and get similar results when tethered to my laptop.
I'm using the stock mobile hotspot, though I doubt FoxFi would be any different. I just made a widget through Tasker and it bypasses the entitlement check. So I bet you could download any number of power control widgets that included a tether control and it would do the same thing.

yea i wouldnt think it matters...any tether app that uses the stock hotspot app but bypasses the subscription check should work fine.
don't know if this has been asked already, but is there a way to tether using phone minutes instead of data? thanks
PDANet from the play store tethers via USB. The app is pricey but works well.
