General Tethering on Maxx HD

view story
linux-howto

http://androidforums.com – I use my Thunderbolt to tether as my only source of internet at home as I live in a rural area. I do have the unlimited hotspots plan with verizon, but find the stock hotspots app to be unreliable. Can someone tell me what the story is with tethering on the Maxx HD as this is one of the most important features of a phone for me. Can I use fox first with this phone or is it incompatible? Or, if I root, will the wifi tethering app work? What about Open Garden? Thanks for any replies here. (General)

Bluetooth Tether 10 weeks 5 days ago

In preparation for Jellybean breaking Foxfi's wifi tether I've been playing with Bluetooth and I have a question that I can't answer

When connected to foxfi on Bluetooth, many apps on my nexus 7 don't recognize the internet connection.

Hello! I'll start by saying this may work with other Tmobile phones, but I haven't had the chance to test this on any other phone besides the GS3. I have the unlimited data plan with Tmobile. It was a hard decision to make the switch from the 5gig plan that included tethering to unlimited.

hello, after reading this: What Verizon's FCC tethering settlement means to you (FAQ) | Mobile - CNET News

I thought I'd be able to tether my phone with legal apps such as foxfi. I can't seem to use it, and a number of sources have told me that i still need to enable the wifi tethering service with verizon in order to get those apps to work. but that conflicts with the above link!

Well, up until recently I was using Open Garden for my tethering needs. Now fir some reason K cannot even get it to establish a WiFi signal, let alone even attempt to try and connect my tablet to it.

I know some people have complained of the standard "tethering warning" that can occasionally come up, but i have never seen that.

Hey guys, got a couple of questions hopefully you can help me with. I've moved out into the country and there is hardly any ISP's out here. Only ones being the satellite ones.

So I bought this phone from a Verizon store. I am now in Canada for a few months and am on a monthly contract with Telus. While I'm here I cancelled my monthly with Verizon. When I try to tether here, my phone says "Checking subscriptions status" then that fails and it refers me to Verizon's numbers.

I recently upgraded from an LG Optimus One phone to a Galaxy Nexus. On my Optimus One, USB tethering worked flawlessly. However, I flashed tons of different ROMs to find the ones that worked better than others. Some didn't work at all. Some were flaky.

I'm currently using AOSPA 4.2.2 PARANOIDANDROID 3.5 (May15) α5 with 3.0.75+-RUBIK-AK-r30 kernel. Wi-Fi tethering works perfectly.
