[Q] Wifi tethering issue ATT version

[kramerica099]

This is the first time I have posted here so I do not know if I put this in the right area, sorry if I did not.

I have the ATT sgh-i467 note 8.0 and I have been trying to use wifi tethering. After doing some investigation, it turns out that ATT blocks tethering unless you pay them a tethering fee or buy the 5 GB plan, What BS that is. I have tried to find a work around and there does not seem to be one.

Has anyone found a wifi tether work around for the ATT note 8?

Have you tried the FoxFi app?

Have you tried the FoxFi app?

I have tried it and all the other adhoc wifi tethers, they will not work on the new phones and tablets and the carriers have tethering locked out in the device. I was hoping had found another way to do this without a hack.

I tried this but it did not work, one of the things I could not do was:

Step 10. Scroll down and make sure “MSS clamping” and “Routing fix” are both checked on.

I did not have mss clamping

Did you try this on a ATT note 8.0?

I use the native tethering after freezing at&t all access, you can also delete it if you don't want to freeze it.

I just froze it using titanium back up and restarted it. I went to settings then to more settings and I did not see the native tethering show up. Did I miss something?

SUCCESS!!

The freezing of the att access app worked but it did not bring up the native tether option. I tried foxfi, I could get the computer to connect but it would not go to the internet, so then I tried tetherfy and that worked. I am sending this right now tethered to my note 8.0.

Screw ATT, it makes me so mad that these USA carriers try to screw everyone, I love it.

Thanks,

if you don't have it try an app like tethering shortcut in the playstore

any way to auto kill allaccess?

Thanks to all on here, I was able to get my tether working. I was bummed though to find it disabled the AT&T data widget, as I used that to keep an eye on data used.

Well, I messed around and here is what I discovered...

I un-froze allaccess in Titanium and rebooted. After rebooting I was able to restore the allaccess widget (though tethering was again crippled). I then converted allaccess from a system app to a user app using Titanium, then forced closed it. I was then able to tether again, and the data widget still remained active. This works great until I reboot the unit, then I just need to force close the allaccess again to tether.

I am wondering if there is a way to automatically force close the program upon startup? This would allow use of the widget to monitor data without having to manually fc the allshare program.

Anyone know how to accomplish this?
