My buddy has a GS4 on Sprint and he has been unable to get the WiFi tether to work without paying extra for it. He doesn't want to unlock/root it. Is there a workaround without root?

I'm also curious about this. It seems that the KitKat update has broken most of the apps that were previously recommended, including FoxFi. Any ideas?

Foxfi has been fixed with KitKat.

Which version? I tried using 2.16.2. When I try to start the hotspot, I see this:

Hotspot Error
You are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?
Cancel OK

No matter which option I pick, it never works. Thoughts?

I also tried the newest version of PdaNet, which I found out is basically also FoxFi. No luck there either.

Any other ideas?
