OK, fellow S4 owners, I have a little problem that's been driving me nuts for the past few days. I purchased a XBox One, set it up fine with no issues. No issues, that is, until I reached the point where I had to sign into XBox Live. For whatever reason, it won't even take me to the sign in screen. As soon as I hit the Add Account button, I get a message saying my home network may need to be checked. Why is he posting this here, you might ask? Good question... the answer is because I'm using my hotspot as the connection for the XBox One. All connection tests are fine, no issues detected except a moderate NAT setting, but that shouldn't prevent one from signing into XBox Live, especially since it worked on the 360 I traded in for the One. Has anyone else tried to use their S4 or any other hotspot with an XBox One and been able to add their account, and if so, what did you have to do to get it to work? Any help is greatly appreciated, because otherwise I just bought a $200 blue ray player. Thanks in advance.
I've tried this before as well, it was not successful. I'm not sure what you would have to change for it to work.

Why would you want to use your phone for your One?
My phone is actually my only internet connection at home. The connection it provides is more than fast enough. As stated above, I could download the required updates fine, it just won't let me add my account. I get a network problem message as soon as I hit Add Account.
I remember using my phone as a WiFi hotspot for my Xbox 360 at hotels. I could play GTA online no problem lol

I don't know if it affects phones other than the Eris, but users can't play HQ videos from YouTube over the phone's 3G connection. Apparently, and I haven't confirmed this myself (but can and will), it will work over WiFi.
I know on jail-broken iPhones and iPods, there is an app available that tricks other apps into thinking it's connected via whatever connection you tell it. For example, I could tell the YouTube app that I always connect with WiFi. Then, it would play HQ videos.
Is such a think available for Android ? Would such a thing be difficult to implement ?
This would be neat, someone might have a trick.
This has already been a discussion and last time i checked there was no way of doing this. It sounds like a great idea and if there is an update i would love to hear it!
im going to bump this thread in hopes of getting this to work so i can start the NFL mobile app on 3G.
Right now i have to open the app on wifi and then make sure i dont exit it. It works fine on 3g after the switch, i just cant start it on 3g.
Has anyone came out with anything since then that will trick my phone into thinking its on wifi?
i'd rather be able to have my phone say it's on 3g, while it's on wifi. several sprint apps don't work over wifi, for some stupid reason
Well either way, the mfl mobile app only works if you start it on wifi for ATT, so if there was a way to get it working it would be awesome.
I know you can do this on the iphone for apps that only work on wifi. Theres gotta be a way to get it to work on android.....

Yes, I bought Splinterl cell and modern combat 2 but can't even download the remaining data as it requires Wifi...The 3g speed is good and constant.why gameloft makes such stupid decissions..let the users decide what network the want like in games such as assasin creed or hero of sparta..
I'm using Galaxy s2 if it matters and any such trick would be verry helpful.

Download this... and place it on the root of your SDcard. This will fix your "wifi-only" game data downloads. Works for gameloft games, might work for others.
To actually play the game online (this might work for the NFL app) download an app called "wireless tether for root users" now you need to follow these directions exactly!
1. Turn on wifi (don't connect, just turn it on)
2. Turn on the Wireless Tether app (this will shut off wifi)
3. Before! Before! Before! You get the message Stating "wireless tether for root users has been granted superuser permissions" you need to reenable wifi! If you do not do it exactly that way, wifi will say "error" but if you do it right, your good to go! You can now play that game without a wifi connection. I also play Nova 2.. So yes

I was playing with my friends evo lastnight and wantted to see if I could connect wifi to the ps3 and I was..so I downloaded a few tether apps on my MoPho to see if I would be able to tether to the system but it wouldnt show my phone so I played with the settings and still no luck..i looked around on a few sites and everyone is saying I cant be in ad hoc,is there anyone that has tried this and got it to work or is the phone just not built for tethering out side of ad hoc?

Wifi tether beta 6 . Change the network to infrastructure . Now, I'm not sure if it will work on the Photon, but it works on a ton of other devices. Not sure why it wouldn't.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I use tether beta 6 also. I set the device-profile to "samsung galaxy s" and the setup-method to "Netd (master)." I also have the routing fix enabled, but I dont know if that is necessary. It will give an error at startup, but everything works. You should then be able to connect your PS3. It works for mine.
This may be a dumb question but, why? Even if you could play games on Photon, PS3 is across the room? Again, maybe I'm missing something (easy to do!)

It lets them get on Sprint's Network with the PS3 so they can sign into the Playstation Network, and maybe play games if they connection is fast enough where they are. Does 4G work with this or are you stuck on Sprint's crappy 3G?

If it helps..
First i'll start by sayin i'm a COMPLETE NOOB, But managed to connect to ps3 and psps.I have root Inspire and using wifi tether 3.1 beta11. Inside the settings it had 8.8.8.8 primary dns 8.8.4.4 alternate....I simply put those same dns number in settings of ps3 and psps. Worked fine,although signal in my house is terrible(3 bars/edge) I too checked routing fix, but i think the dns thing is what really did the trick. Also, just to let you know I didnt change any other settings in ps3/psp. Hope it helps

The app I use is mainly for File browsing, but I've noticed with the new version is has the ability to turn on Tethering and by-pass the carrier check (on AT&T at least).
No system file modification needed.
Simply go to:
Menu -> Tools -> Net Manager
Downloaded and confirmed it works. This definitely a big plus!

No system wasnt a net manager in my settings options..... so I uninstalled the ES file explorer I had and then installed this one. I was able to turn on the tethering, and my computer recognized it and it appeared to be running, but I was never able to connect to any webpages.

Chances are low. Extremely low. I've never been notified once on Android. Even if they detect you they are obligated to send you a written warning before they charge you for extra features. I know this from unauthorized tethering on my iPhone.

You're definitely confused, so I'll help.... The ATT Hotspot app is to connect your phone to the wireless hotspot ATT provides for free at various locations so you don't use your data plan
Wireless tethering is to connect another device (laptop, WiFi tablet, another phone, etc) to use your data plan on your phone wirelessly, turning your phone into a router, receiving data and broadcasting an SSID like your WiFi at home / work does
Make sense?

your explanation does make sense. But, i use the att mobile hotspot app to connect (tether) my laptop to send out emails on my work email because comcast has blocked port 25, whereas i can still send them out tethering from my phone to laptop.

So seems like you must paying for service. This app you using ( stock Mobile Hotspot) dose not work for free with At&t phones if you do not paying for service. I just try and asking me to call 611 for activating tethering.

hrmmm, i guess i need to figure that out... im new to att, just switched when getting this phone. all i know is i am on their mobile share plan with unlimited talk & text, then we pay for the 4g data plan. so maybe the fee is built into the 4gb share data plan.
edit: yea just did some reading and because i am on a mobile share plan there is no fee. i guess that solves y i was confused to begin with on why the op posted this option for free tethering when i can use the built-in for free to tether.

You can try "Delayed Lock" by j4velin in the play store. Great app - It will even turn your lock back on after disconnecting from home wifi. Works for blue tooth as well. Trial version just has a nag screen every 5 unlocks. Worth the purchase to support the dev. Also, support available here at XDA.
Currently running [email protected] app with Unlock with wifi app works great for me.... Also if you're willing to learn check out Tasker..
A slight hijack... I want to do the same thing, but slightly different. Does anyone know of an app that unlocks when you are NEAR your home wifi, but not actually connected to it? I live in the sticks & have 12Mbps satellite internet with a 10GB monthly limit. My 4g connection is faster & I'm still on unlimited. I've tried using Tasker, but can't seem to get it to work.

I use an app called "phone locator pro" and it has the option. It works great. I've tested the remote features including locating, camera snapshots, and even remote wiping. All work great. It disables the lock when on any wifi connection that you register with the app. I just wish that you could also add a bluetooth connection so when I am in my car I do not have to unlock it.
Here is with tasker and secure setting example. Tasker never fails me.

WiFi Tether Router worked for me with the LG G4 settings. When I tether now, my "tether" usage stays put and the mobile data goes up instead. There wasn't a way to copy the APN, though, so I had to make a new one from scratch (with the settings from the WiFi Tether Router help page).
Is the only way to change to ipv4 is by creating a new VPN setting? When I press and/or long hold on ipv6, nothing happens. If it matters, I am rooted.

My data slow leaks to hotspot..maybe 60mb for 2 gb...however if I stream slingbox or the nba app the data goes right from the hotspot...hopefully someone figures that out because I use slingbox all the time on the weekend's.
With this app, I had this issue on my n6 and this device. And with the language barrier, I can't seem to explain my problem to the creator of this program. Basically, it works fine, then all a sudden in the middle of streaming to my tablet, it just stops. And on the tablet, the wifi tether no longer shows up under available wifi. But in the phone, it says wifi tether is active. I refresh on the tablet but wifi tether no longer shows up.
