[MOD / HACK] - Fully enable native wifi hotspot AND native Bluetooth tethering

Joe777G · Aug 13, 2012

Are there any plans to port this mod to the recently leaked I747UCALH1? This leak now includes the AllShare Cast option under "More Settings" and allows the phone to use the upcoming wifi hdmi adapter. I'd love to have AllShare Cast and tethering on my phone. If there is a diff file(s) of the changes/patches made for the tethering mod I'd be glad to attempt porting the mod myself this coming weekend. I've done haptic feedback patches for i9000 ports to the captivate before and don't imagine this should be much harder given the diffs of the hack on the original mod.

Please forgive the semi off-topic nature of this, just trying to shine some light on this subject.

I don't know for sure, because I haven't tried it, but it may depend on how you do the USB tethering. ClockworkMod Tether claims to be undetectable and I haven't heard of anybody getting caught while using it. On the other hand, lots of people have gotten caught using wireless tethering.

What app were you using when you got caught?

This didn't happen on the GS3 but while I was using my previous phone, the HTC Incredible S. I was using the stock Android tethering feature via the stock unbranded WWE rom. I did this last year some time after AT&T announced that they were going to "crack down" on people who tether without the proper data plan.

Thanks for the info about the ClockworkMod Tether app. I'll have to take a look at it to see if it's something I could use and avoid detection.

I recently upgraded to the S3 from a HTC Aria (Liberty). I ran CM6, CM7, and CM9 on the Liberty starting about a month after getting the phone till I replaced it. I did switch between USB and wireless tethering for the better part of my old contract. I did "abuse" the tethering often for various reasons, but never received a notification or letter from AT&T. This might be due to how the Cyanogen mods are setup or there might be something else that I'm missing there. This might be something to look into if it can translate over and help keep us under AT&T's radar.

Looking back at my data usage during those time the highest my data use was 2.5GB in a month, but my average monthly usage over the two years was 1.5GB. I am also still on the unlimited (grandfathered) data plans so I might not have tripped any flags which could be the reason for not hearing from AT&T.

Has anyone used this hack AFTER they received first warning from ATT for using other app?

Would android-wifi-tether tell on us AT&T users, even if we do NOT go over our data plan, or will we be receiving the AT&T letter to upgrade? Could this be the replacement for this hack?

Here's the link just in case: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Download the APK in case they take it out of the Play Store (it's still there, BTW)

</HTH>

Yes, and most if not all apps available in the play store are known to ATT and they have means to detect them.
I've been using that wifi tether when got text message that my plan is about to be changed and I need call att for more information. When I called and played dumb, like I have no idea what they are talking about, the person I was talking gave me an example of about 10 app names that they detect, most of the names had nothing to do with tethering, and I never heard of them, but it proves that att aware of them too.
So as more popular the app is, as more chances it's going to be detected.

I don't believe that AT&T can detect any app that you're using. I've never heard of any way they can do that and I don't think that Google would have designed the Android OS to allow that. I think that they actually look at information in the data packets and figure out if you're tethering.

One way they can do that is to look at the browser id to see if it's something other than a mobile browser. Another way is to look at the TTL of the packets. If the TTL is other than the default for an Android device then it means that some other device sent those packets.

But they don't have the ability to look inside your phone to see what app you're using.

Is there any chance at getting a hack for LH9? I had to Odin back to get it to take the update and I just tried the current hack, but phone kept force Closing before it would fully boot. Thanks!

I agree, is there any work being done to get native tethering on ALH1? I use allshare cast also

Same problem here - followed instructions and got the bootloop -- had to reapply Rom to fix

I've been able to tether using Swiss and an Italian prepaid SIM cards, so far. Works great. I just wish I could use this with my AT&T service at home without having AT&T threaten me.

For those that are curious tethering via usb does work with this as I tried it the other day. I did grab my old phone to check settings and it appears that my old phone was connecting via wap. I used the info from my old phone to setup wap and was using that when I was tethered. Is anyone familiar with how the packets might be different? As wap from what I understand is for hspa.

Cry me a river. This coming from the joker that ripped off Robeat's gTab rom and pershoot's kernel to get donations!! Credit...lol

The fact you say first to PROVIDE the file makes me think that you ripped it off from someone else and are trying to take the credit for it here!

Same old BS as before.....loser!
