Does it work out of the box for grandfathered unlimited plans? Hoping it might since this is supposedly vanilla android...

Tethering and hotspot options are both available on my phone with the standard 3GB data cap, so I would assume that its available on the unlimited plan as well.

Thanks. Do you have a family share plan or an individual plan? The family share plans apparently include tethering.

It is an individual plan which doesn't include tethering, but the feature is still available.
Didn't work for me I haven't unlocked on HTC dev yet but I don't imagine that will change anything.
Are you on LTE?

Hmm, I just now tried it, and I get the same message. Guess we'll need to wait for a third-party ROM like CM10 before this is an option...
Have any of you tried FoxFi? Its in the Play store, and it's free. There is also PDAnet as well.
Anybody that is rooted get WiFi tethering to work yet? Barnacle or WiFi tether for root users or something like that?

I'm also having the same problem with wifi hotspot (tethering). Unlocked my phone (originally locked with AT&T) and anytime I click to enable Portable wifi hotspot I get "There is a temporary problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hotspot function. Please retry later."
I've also tried installing FoxFi to see if I could tether that way - no luck. I get the same error message as above.
Any one have any solutions?
Solved! Alright, so I rooted the phone using the HTC First All In One found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242639
Once the phone was rooted, I downloaded an app on Google Play called "WiFi Tether" (do not download FoxFi, it doesn't work). The "WiFi Tether" app works ONLY for rooted phones.
Now I can finally tether!

What settings did you use with Wifi Tether for root users? I'm having trouble getting it to work with my rooted HTC First.

I opened up Wifi Tether, went to "Settings", then changed my Device-Profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)". Hope it helps!

That's not working for me maybe because I only used moonshine?
I scoured the interwebs and found these solutions...
These ways will work for people who can't still can't get their hotspot working:
Stock roms seem to whitelist the apns that can use their tether, so either
1. Insert entitled {yourCarrierAPN} into /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db with sqlite editor:
Old Instructions:
1. Use a rooted filemanager (e.g. ES File Explorer) to backup the Telephony Database (/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db) to a safe place (e.g. /sdcard/).
2. Download SQLite Installer for Root from the Market and open the app and install SQLite3
3. Open an adb shell
4. Type the following command in to open the telephony database:
su -c sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
5. This should have opened sqlite3. If it did then type the following command in to update the database:
INSERT INTO carriers (name, numeric, mcc, mnc, apn, authtype, type, insert_by, state, protocol, roaming_protocol, carrier_enabled, bearer) VALUES ("Entitlement","302720","302","720","ltemobile.apn ","-1","entitle","internal","hidden","IP","IP","1","0" );
6. To confirm that this has been applied you can type the following:
select * from carriers;
This should list all the carriers you have in your telephony.db and the one you just added should be at the bottom.
7. Type the following to quit sqlite3
.exit
8. Type the following to reboot your phone
reboot

Summary:
a. Find /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and it's 'carrier' table
b. Edit telephony.db with sqlite editor and add a row that is the same as the hidden AT&T Entitlement APNS, but change the numeric, mcc, mnc, apn type to match your current cellphone's APN in the database
c. Save, reboot, and viola! default tethering activated
or
2. Hack and disable apn check in framework-res.apk

As soon as I got my phone today I rooted and removed all AT&T crap, now if we could just get past their censorship of the Android Market.
I have renamed all CSC files and references but no change at all.
Since it goes back to the stock Android Market with no SIM in it and WiFi only I figured it was APN settings triggering it so I removed the proxy but no go.
I setup a default APN with nothing in it and when I opened the market it showed me the Download tab.
So there is something referencing the apn before loading the market to tell it to add AT&T and block certain apps from showing up.
Anyone more experienced than I have a clue?
Have you enabled side-loading?? Have you installed AppBrain??
install the stock 2.1 market app...
I have enabled non-market apps but the problem is AT&T censors whet you see on Marketplace (easytether for example.)
I have tried installing the stock vending and marketupdater from Cyanogen 5 for the Nexus One but it still loads the AT&T information and shows no results for easytether.
I am fine with sideloading but at the same time I don't want to only see what AT&T deems acceptable, that defeats the principle of Android.
Here's how to bypass AT&T's censorship of the market. Turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi, then browse the market. Not so hard. Anyways, the only thing they seem to be censoring is tethering apps.
I know I can do it on WiFi but there has to be a way to do it over 3g.

Hi
I have Titanium backup to remove the AT&T Apps but because I don't want to screw up the system by removing an app thats needed for the system, can you please send me a list of all AT&T related applications that if removed won't affect the system?
I will be very thankful to you.

Holy crap. The biggest problem I've had with the device so far is that the Market ran slow as molasses. Now that I've changed it to T-Mobile, it's back to what it was on previous Android phones.
This is the longest I've been on an AT&T-branded ROM in almost 2 years and I forgot how much I hated AT&T's "helpful" changes...
I just tried out Market Enabler. +1 for that app. I switched to T-Mobile and now no more AT&T tab and can find all apps on the market. Did anyone else see a speed improvement in the market after switching?
I just rebooted the phone and it's back to AT&T, looks like it's a per-boot change but better than nothing.
market enabler
can sumone tell me how to install market enabler on the captivate please an thank u
So I sideloaded MarketEnabler and found an old friend on the market....PDANet lol. I still had the version installed on my laptop from way back when I had my Hero from Sprint. I'm not sure if the trial will run out or not since I do have the paid version on my laptop...but I am posting this tethered to my laptop now. Eat it AT&T!!!! Thanks for all the posts guys. I think our little phones are gonna turn out ok after all...its getting better everyday

How are you guys doing it?
Root the phone. Download sqlite. Look for a file called settings storage. The correct one has a symbol looks like tools. Select the sub file. Go down and edit the line that says entitlement check. Change the value from 1 to disabled. Save and reboot. Enjoy making a wifi hotspot.

(questionable) then i went right to the file and was able to edit it.. thanks again. i appreciate the smart guys helping the, well, not so understanding guys! lol...

Rooted & Change entitlement no internet
Help please!? I have rooted my Atrix HD, changed the entitlement to disabled thru sqlite and I can now mobile hotspot which was not working before....but....I can connect devices to the phone but each one states "limited or no internet" yet the phone has full 4g internet (cuz I can surf with it while mobile hotspot is on) but NONE of the devices can surf. I have changed the ssid and the passwords and have tried the open protocol as well as the wpa-psk options and still no surf on any device....
Please help...been trying to mobile hotspot with this phone every since I upgraded from the Atrix 4G which I loved.
Thanks

Most ROMs have tethering built-in, so you could go that route.
I've done the build.prop edit needed to get the tethering to work, but when i turn on the hotspot i'm able to connect to it with several devices like Ipad, s4, and laptop but they don't have internet access. is there something else i have to do in order to get it working? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
You have to edit a database entry as well. Search the forums. Youll need sqlite editor from play store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/sprint-nexus-6-wifi-tethering-root-t2949024
Yeah i just tried that as well bought the sqlite editor and still nothing...
any more suggestions?
Try adding one, reboot then other. I had issues getting it to wotk. Double check the entries are correct (no caps) and just try again. It does work.
I got it to work but had to factory reset and then it worked fine

I have a GS6 64GB running the latest OTA and rooted on Ping Pong Root. I am trying to automate starting my wifi hotspot and the third party apps don't seem to work so I figured I would use tasker to input a couple of taps but the command won't run. Wondering if anyone else has run in to this. I have given tasker root privilege and enabled its accessibility setting. The circle in the tasker UI goes red and it never completes the task. I never had an issue on my GS5. I tried the swipe command as well with the same outcome. I also opened a terminal window to run the command and it said the tap command didn't exist. I ran the swipe command in terminal and it worked but taskers run shell > input swipe didn't. Any help would be great. Ultimately I want a way to get Wifi hotspot to turn on when it sees my cars bluetooth. I have AT&T so i need to swipe on then verify so it is a couple steps.
I've been trying to do the exact same thing with no luck. I replicated the same thing on my s4 that I recently got running lollipop. Not sure if its a Samsung lollipop issue or a lollipop issue in general.
The only thing I was able to do to make it easier was add a quick settings toggle to enable it. Makes it a little easier. I just wish I could get rid of the warning about turning wifi off and having to tap ok.

After doing some research I found its an issue with new 64 bit devices. Anyway I found a work around using secure settings plugin. The input tap command works if you use the secure settings plugin and put the command in there.

That's good to know. After I was able to accomplish that. It just the secure setting method to activate WiFi hotspot and the tasked WiFi tether function and they both work now. I didn't notice am update to either but I'm glad it work now.

It works in secure settings and just the wifi tether in tasker. I'm not really sure what I did. Used the input tap method to activate it. And tried after that and it worked. Didn't try it right before that tho. I'm running stock rooted oe2 (I think that's it, the update). I have the WiFi tether mod installed but that's only to get rid of the verify process it did when I turn it on. It didn't work after that I tried.

Hi Folks,
I did a search and couldn't locate a reference to this notification message yet, please let me know if it's already been referenced.
Running stock OTA Marshmallow on a non-rooted Nexus 6 with Verizon Wireless and a grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan.
Usually within 30 minutes of rebooting my phone, the following message shows in Notifications, but clicking on it only removes the message and does not actually open any app:
My Account needs access to your device's location, contacts, and phone identity in order to automatically connect you to premium and public hotspots and save your data plan.

I thought it might be the Verizon Mobile app, so I turned off its notifications permissions in App Settings, but that had no effect.
Curious what on my phone is trying to gain this access and which "My Account" is being referenced - any ideas?
EDIT: Answered below - it was the TracFone app.

That sounds like androids device manager. I have never seen it myself but that could be do to not running stock or that I disable the device manager in security/admin.
But it could be that.
