I'm just curious, which rom or roms out there have wifi tethering enabled in them that will allow you to tether an ipad or android tablet?

There are quite a few (if not all) of them that do this.
Be aware, though - if you do this without a tethering plan, AT&T is likely to catch on and change your plan to a tethering plan.
this is true, but if you have the unlimited data plan, then you rly don't need to wry until you start getting upwards of 4-5gigs, also you can edit your apn so that it doesn't show on their end that you are tethering.
mainly my friend/boss is wanting to be able to use his captivate to tether his ipad 2 while at work to do work reports and such.
i was just curious if there was any particular rom that functioned better than others as far as battery life and stability.
you may want to post this APN tweak for the other ATT boys, i have not read of this..

My current data plan does not allow tethering, more specifically the use of the phone as an internet modem. But I know apps like PDAnet can bypass it and behaves like a mobile web app so that I won't get charged extra. I was wondering if the Froyo's new WiFi hotspot feature behaves like PDAnet.
Thanks!
yes it does.
It works for me too and I'm loving it.
Sorry to get off topic i didn't want to start an entire thread. If I may speculatr; If any of the 4 major carriers were to allow tethering I think its T-Mobile, they are focused on improving their 3g while the others are worried about 4g and Verizon is even making overtures for tiered, limited plans for 4g. I know very little but T-Mobile is finally losing customers and can't afford to be restrictive plus their relatively few subscribers means they are unlikely to have overuse issues that can disrupt service, plus afaik T-Mobile USA doesn't have mobile data plans other than for cell phones. Again this is all speculation and I don't know if carriers have official positions on tethering but T-Mobile just seems to me the most likely to allow it for free, I don't see how it would cost them anything, and with tethering working so well I'd prefer cheap 3g (which is theoretically super fast by the end of 2010) with tethering and unlimited data than 4g, no tethering, more expensive, and tiered.

[stock Google Nexus One (not rooted or unlocked) on AT&T 3G (without a tethering plan)]
I have used PdaNet for a few weeks with great success, but it is only a tether, not a hotspot.
I manually updated to FRF91 a couple days ago and have been using the native Froyo WiFi Hotspot functionality instead of PdaNet.
Overall it seems to work, though there has been occasional weirdness. Sometimes when I try to connect my Windows 7 laptop to the AndroidAP hotspot, it takes forever, and then I get "limited connectivity - no internet access". And sometimes it just works fine. At least once there was no default gateway set after "connecting" (so, no data!). I do not know where the problem is - Windows, Android, or AT&T.
I have read elsewhere (from a Google source) that the carriers CAN SEE if you have the tethering/hotspot function enabled, and in fact THEY CAN DISABLE the functionality remotely. I have also seen other info that contradicts this, though I am predisposed to believe the (claimed) Google source. It doesn't make sense to me that the carriers would allow this functionality onto the phone if they could not control it.
We shall see.....
T-Mobile/MetroPCS has really cracked down on tethering lately. Does the Nexus 6 have any issues wifi tethering on T-Mobile/MetroPCS?
no issues, i tether fine in tmobile. btw, for the regular plans, they include tether. for a completely unlimited high speed data, they let you tether 5gb. for a limited plan, they allow unlimited tether. now you can opt to dive deeper into it, by rooting your device and enabling a hack that will let you tether unlimitedly, without your provider seeing.
I'm hearing that it's not possible for the N6 to tether on Metro w/o root.
As far as I know you DO need root to hide your tethering
Can anyone link me to the root method of tethering?
Yes, that's been the case. But even now that they allow tethering, everything I've seen indicates that the Nexus 6 can't tether without root on Metro.
Have an unlocked att note 3 on tmobile network.have the unlimited plan which includes 7gb of tethering data.using Fabios wifi tether with the X moto tether mod found in xposed. Running firekat v21. My problem is when any device connects I get around 10kbp.. loads Web pages just really slow.if I usb tether get full speeds. Anyone know what the culprit could be.adjusted apn to fast . tmobile . com ipv4. When usb tethering use pdanet. The wifi thether in there will also be just as slow.

Just my 2 cents, but you ever thought of using a t mobile rom? This way you wouldn't have to use second party apps for tethering. T-Mobile Alliance Lollipop Rom on ATT Note 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/t-mobile-alliance-rom-att-note-3-t3065127 it has t mobile apps.
I can get native tethering working just used all my data trying to use my unlimited 4G now.wifi thether just gives me 10kbps speeds I don't really like lollipop why I'm on kitkat Idk if the room would make a difference or not.
Previously, tethering worked in 5.1 and below. I did the steps laid out by Crios, however I noticed that Tethering completely stopped working. As in, anything that connected to my hotspot showed no internet access. Previously, I was getting hit with throttled down speed from T-Mobile after my upgrade to Android 6.0
So I want to get some information and make sure T-Mobile tethering is working or its not for everyone, and see if we can resolve it!
Thanks

you have to be a bit more accurate with your question. with what you wrote, tethering works absolutely fine with tmobile and marshmallow. as i use tethering on tmobile and am on marshmallow. im sure that what you really wanted to know was if tethering illegally is working on tmobile. i dont know, as i tether legally. i do know that many people that do tether illegally are having a hard time tethering on tmobile with marshmallow.

interesting.. what did you do? B/c I've read that several people can't use it. I know several users have been flagged on t-mobile for using tethering modifications.. which makes me think perhaps I have been...
And I did mention the latest tethering trick, by posting that Crios wrote.

thats because i use no modifications. i just turn on wireless tethering, then connect. if you cant, thete might be a build.prop fix that needs to be done. but tmobile has tethering included in everyones plan. if you have a limit on hiw mych data you can use, then they give unlimited tether to your plan. i have sn unlimited high speed data plan, that means they give me 7gb tethering. snd thats mire than enough for me now-a-days for me

I Realized my mistake... I meant to say tethering modification. Not tethering in general. :/

lol, its not only you. most people that post about just say tethering. not realizing that some tether legally i guess. but ive grown used to it by now.
anyways, from what ive been reading, many write that the old ways dont work anymore, on tmobile. im guessing thats because tmobile started a thing, about the time marshmallow started, about going after illegal tethering.
Is there any app or "fix" to enable wifi tethering on a G870A running 5.1.1 using Straight Talk? Tried FoxF, PdaNet+ and a host of playstore junk. Nothing.
I don't think if there is a native wifi tethering fix anymore. However USB tethering seems to work (tested on G900A). Have you tried ClockworkMod Tether? You will need to install the a client on the PC as well as the APK on the phone.
Can't use the USB tethering for the application I need it for.

What application is it? EasyTether can handle some complex setups.
I need Wi-Fi for the car radio. No USB option there.
Assuming the phone is not rooted, you might be out of luck at the moment. I'm guessing that you want to share your unlimited data plan. Have you looked at how much data you have used in the past few months? Just wondering if a different service provider might be a better choice in your case.
Really don't use that much data even though its unlimited. I have an aftermarket radio that I would like to use the phone's data. Works great with my "retired S4" but have since started using the S5.

You may want to consider looking into ProjectFi and getting a Nexus phone for the service, that is my plan for my next phone which includes tethering by design. When I did the math, it turned out that my bill will go down and the savings would pay for the Nexus phone. $20 for the line + a penny for each megabyte.
