Native Hotspot Working

[crawrj]

Just wanted to put this out there since I haven't seen anyone talking about it yet.

I was working with a friends ATT Note 3. I rooted it for him and then began working on modding the native hotspot. When I went to make the smali edits I saw that they were already there. So I fired up the hotspot and it worked. I am assuming this is also true if you are completely stock unrooted but didn't check first.

So if you have not rooted yet please test your hotspot and let us know the results. If you are rooted then the hotspot is definitely open.

stock out of the box - hotspot not active
after rooting - hotspot still not active

did however install
tetheringprovision.apk (followed galaxy s4 instructions)
and hotspot now active / open.

no hassles.

That is odd. Maybe his account is messed up. Because he swears he never paid for the hotspot. But the mod which makes the native hotspot work on Sprint devices is already included in the rooted system, again didn't verify the non rooted system. So not sure what is up.

This had been covered many times. Just hit the hinge button when you get that message! It will work.

Hotspot works with NO ROOT

I'm on the 2gig limit mobile share plan. This plan comes with Hotspot, so no root needed.

After you select the option, did you reboot?

When you turn on your hotspot, if you get a message to call at&t, just press the home button (don't press ok). This should work for you, as it worked for me and many others. And the guy on the previous page that said "press the hinge button", he ment the home button.

For those that are having issues, try using the toggle WiFi hotspot widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fattin.togglewidget.hotspot

Just add the widget to your home screen and use it to turn on the hotspot, wait for the error message and hit the home button.

I'm using Foxfi (free) on an Unrooted Note 3.
Perhaps it isn't necessary, seeming from the conversation here?

Either way, despite the annoying ATT message, it works flawlessly. =D

This method does not work for me and neither does the app Tetherify. Any other solutions?

Tried this widget and native tethering works with ATT. No need to freeze Tethering Provision, no need for FoxFi. Just install the widget as stated by mm3th and place on your home screen. Then press it, once the "call 611" comes up, hit the home button. You can even configure it without a problem.

Thanks mm3th:good:

Confirmed. Works and is so simple to activate and configure. Changed my network name to "click here for virus"

Wifi hotspot should work out of the box if you have any mobile share plan. The only group of people who will need any type of third party mode will be those with the grandfathered unlimited. AT&T does not allow hotspot on the unlimited.

Try barnacle wireless tether for root user's
