unable to hotspot phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Alcatel OneTouch Pixie Glitz. Tracfone. Android ver. 4.4.2 No modifications at all.
I want to enable the hotspot on my phone, but the option to do that is missing from the settings. I tried several apps to enable with no success. I asked for a solution on another forum and was directed here. Could someone explain what I need to do and/or direct me to a guide?
Thanks

Your carrier probably charges extra for that service. Mine does.

I checked Tracfone's site and could not find anywhere that said they offered that service. I might have been willing to pay for it if they offered it.

If you can find a root method for your device, then you can use one of the hotspot/tethering apps from the PlayStore, you'll have to try a variety of hotspot apps, some of them can be made to work with a few adjustments to their in-app settings(some require a bit more to get working, such as, edits to your build.prop file or some terminal commands).
There's no specific suggestion I can give you because it doesn't work the same for all devices and android versions. You'll have to do some researching and experimentation to find something that works.

I did some research and saw that if you manage to turn on the hotspot you will get a warning from Tracfone.
Are there any hotspot/tethering apps that disguise this usage?

I have been using hotspot/tether on Straight Talk(TracFone) for over 5 years with 4 different devices, I haven't done anything to hide it and I've used a large amount of data while hotspotting/tethering. I haven't received any kind of warnings yet.
You can try the "FoxFi" app with the "FoxFi key" app(this is not a free app) or the "PDANet" app with the "FoxFi Key" app. Purchasing the key unlocks all the features and allows you to hide the fact that you're tethering.

I wanted to try the towelroot method for rooting but for unknown reasons my phone will not allow the app to download from the site geohot set up for it. Yes, I enabled the install from unknown sources. Could someone post the file to this thread or direct me to where on XDA it is posted?

Turn of anti-virus and it might download. Try a different browser when you download it. Use a different device or PC to download it. I downloaded it just fine from Geohot's website so your issue is on your end.

I am trying to download it directly to my phone because I currently don't have a PC of my own. No anti-virus on my phone and I have tried both Chrome and browser. Perhaps Tracfone is blocking my download?

Go to system settings>applications>(chrome or browser), then check it's permissions, make sure it has access to storage or it won't download.

I will check but I downloaded Framaroot off XDA forums, no problem.

I believe I was being blocked by the various free Wi-Fi spots. I walked around my neighborhood and found a no password protected Wi-Fi and downloaded just fine. Sadly, when I tried to install it, I got a pop up that said installation blocked because app would bypass android security. Back to square one.

Network Proxy Settings

Currently I need to use my device on an enterprise network (peap wifi) and the only way to access wan or the internet is to use their proxy.
I need to use the proxy for http but cannot find anywhere to enter the proxy information, I have tried various apps from market but all have failed. Is there a way to access proxy settings? I'm sure the setting is there but I can't find a way to access it.
What do you guys use?

That just talks about 802.1x/peap. That already works on Android 2.2. (In fact it has worked since Android 1.0's wpa_supplicant, but they didn't expose it in the Android UI till 2.0 I think.) Here's a site with a bunch of proxy options, have you tried them already?

Yes I have tried that site with no luck, below are the ones listed on that site.
TransProxy: Not found on market, found it on sourceforge but it looks just a linux binary, not an apk. Is this still usable on android?
ASProxy: $5 fee, no free version
Proxy Settings Android Application: Requires some survey and won't let me download it.
Open Desire: Requires survey I can't get around. (And looks like a ROM itself)
---------
Others I have found on market:
Proxymator: Crashes when I hit OK
http Proxy Settings: Crashes when I hit OK
GAE Proxy: Does not work (won't let me select port 80)
Any others you can suggest?
Oh and if it matters it is a Squid Web Proxy
-Thanks

Don't think so. I know VPN's don't work, wouldn't surprise me if proxy's don't either.
Okay, because all proxy apks don't work.
Thanks!
It's amazing how you can spend so much time on something like this without providing a single shred of useful information. Like a logcat.
I installed transproxy to test it out. It failed, because our kernel is missing the ipt_REDIRECT module. It took me 2 minutes to install it, get a logcat and look at the error messages to find this problem.
Since all of the proxy apps just use iptables, none of them will work without this iptables module. Simple fix - ask WisTilt2 to add it to the config of the next kernel he builds.

How did you get a logcat that was fine?
All mine ended up corrupt after running transproxy...
Dunno. Maybe you got a corrupted download, it was fine for me.
I've submitted a bug report about the kernel module for you.

Hopefully that gets added to kernel soon.

Purchase Cancelled - Cannot be installed in your country....grrrr

grrrrr.....can someone please help!!! I have seen multiple posts about this and I cannot believe there is not a long term fix.
Background
I have a GT 10.1 purchased from the USA...wifi only. I currently live in China. I have a Google account setup with a US credit card. I am using a VPN which gives a Utah IP address. I still cannot see most paid apps in Marketplace nor download and install many. I have many friends with iPads that do not have this restriction but I desperately want to stay with Android, but cannot believe Google has made this so frustrating.
Non-solution
Please do not recommend MarketEnabler. This app may work fine for some units if they have a radio but it does not work for wifi only devices.
Solution
I am able to get it to work following these instructions, but I have to do this every time and it is a pain....there has to be some setting or program that will make this easier. Can anyone please help me and the multitude of others that post about this same thing? There has to be some setting in build.prop or something that is controlling this. Thank you in advance.
1) Go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Find Market and force stop it then clear cache.
2) Go into Settings>Accounts and sync and remove all of your google accounts. (I have not always had to perform this step but often it is required for some reason. Don't worry they are easy to add back and nothing gets deleted.)
3) Connect to a USA VPN.
4) Add back your main Google account that has an associated US credit card.
5) Open Market place and when you do you will have to agree to the terms and conditions again. Accept this. At this point you should be able to find and download most of those apps that you could not previously.
6) Now you can add back in all of your other Google accounts if you have more.
Please someone help us....there has to be an easier way!

If you have a SIM card from another country (your home country maybe?) , switch that into your SIM slot after removing you China Mobile/China Unicom SIM. Then you install the app with the foreign country SIM and once done, put in your China SIM once again
Source: I regularly do this to my HTC Desire and wife's Galaxy S2 and we live in China.
However, if you do not have SIM from another country, you're SOL. If you find out another way to do this, please let me know as well with the Note 10.1

Hotspot is NAT 3

I'm using my Note 3 as a wifi hotspot. While playing Destiny on PS4 I get a notification that my NAT settings are restricted. I go on my PS4 network set up and it says my wifi is NAT 3(strict) which is limiting my gaming features. How can I change this on the phone? Stock ROM.

I am sure yet, there has to be a way. What version of KitKat are you running? With NC5 you can use Towel root to root your phone without tripping KNOX, then install a root rile manager like root explorer. This file manager will give you the ability to access your router files. Once the changes to the router/hotspot have been made you can always unroot the phone. Have you tried these sites http://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/11931 or http://portforward.com/ ?

Can you find me a link to the towel root install thread? I couldn't find one. I am on NC5 though so if that will get me access to changing router settings that would be sweet!!
No I'm not familiar with those sites. Could you send me a link on how to install the towel root? I couldn't fine one.

Soon also when I have time I will write up a parser and handler for ap and net config to add to GalaxyTools... nov is just a busy month with 9 birthdays and other obligations. I will try to find time one of these nights, it will not take much effort to code, main thing is I just need to read up linux networking stuffs
Im sure there must already be something in PlayStore in the mean time, or manipulate the files manually... You just can't open in text editor though.... non printable hex values are contained to define lengths of stuff like ap name password length etc. So you need to manipulate the bytes.

Package Disabler Pro+ (Samsung)

ADB is free, it only need USB cable and a free software downloable on internet.
I don't see any reason (unless you don't have access to a computer) to buy an app.
Especially considering you can literally make a list of app to disable and paste it into the command line tool every time it need to get debloated. Takes me 5 seconds at most.

Try to remove Package Disabler from recent apps and launch the app again.

Backing Up Call Logs, Texts and Other Information To PC In A Readable Form?

I got a Samsung j7 phone I want to backup. Not interested on passing the information to a new phone but I want to have every call log and text currently in it. I want to pass it to my Windows 10 PC and be able to view and read the info on the PC. Looking for an open source or free software to be able to make this without any spyware or malicious ware on it. Thanks in Advance!

Yes, absolutely, there are options for backing up data, I wasn't saying that backing up or restoring that data couldn't be done.
The part about using something that will let you backup to PC and be able to read the internal content while on PC is what I was replying to.

The part about using something that will let you backup to PC and be able to read the internal content while on PC is what I was replying to.

I see, but that software lets you view the content on the PC. Looking something similar but free.

I got a Samsung j7 phone I want to backup. Not interested on passing the information to a new phone but I want to have every call log and text currently in it. I want to pass it to my Windows 10 PC and be able to view and read the info on the PC. Looking for an open source or free software to be able to make this without any spyware or malicious ware on it. Thanks in Advance!

Thanks for the info, even if it is discontinued. It is ilegal right? Still looking for options
Android stores text messages and call logs in SQLite databases.
You can pull them by means of ADB to your PC and there view them by means of a SQLite reader. For example call logs are located here:
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
