WIFI HotSpot w/out a plan CONFIRMED TO WORK! No root needed.

[MikeNY]

Have you tried PDANet? It always worked great for me before I started using WiFi tether. It has bluetooth and usb and is free.

Just a note the free version of PDANet limits you to non-secure sites. (no https://)

I assume I do not not pdanet if the wifi hotspot app works? Sorry I am not too techie, thanks.

If already have a working WiFi hotspot you don't need anything but what you are using. All these apps do is allow you to use your mobile data through usb or bluetooth connection.

Wifi hotspot works if you pay for it I assume, and WiFi tether does it all except you need root.

My wifi hotspot is working and i did not root and i guess tether is done via usb so not needed if wifi hotspot works

The wifi hotspot lets your laptop, desktop etc go online via your phones 3g/4g without using a usb wire and lets others connect to your phone (hotspot) again w/o a wire.

Not sure why the tether option would be needed since it all works via wifi.

Ahhh ok thanks.

 

[evperry]

ok mine works fine now.

Is everyone's paid version still working? My 2 day free trial worked flawlessly. I just think with my luck, as soon as I pay for it, it won't work anymore.

Mine is working fine. I thought i was having an issue one day but it turned out to be a problem with the verizon network.

I would think its just a matter of time before big red shuts this down....

Hi, your developer here again --

I got a few emails that the app wasn't working today, so I bit the bullet and bought one for myself to test. (Such a beautiful phone!) It's working for me without trouble.

I'm hoping it was some kind of temporary network outage, but if anyone with it NOT working is in the SF Bay Area please let me know and maybe we can troubleshoot it together. Email hotspot at svtechpartners.com
Thanks!

Whenever I try to open this, it just opens up the built-in tethering settings page which then checks for my subscription status. Very weird.

you have to make sure not to use the widget. make sure to open the app from the app drawer and then it will work fine..

When I turn it on it says hotspot on in notification bar and when I pull it down and click on it the phone goes to my stock wifi tether setting and has it clicked to be on. Does that mean its charging me?

no it just bypasses verizons provisioning

this is a great app. my wife just got on VZW from ATT (unlimited data) to get the iphone 4S. she's mad she only gets 2GB/month on VZW, but with this app she can tether wirelessly onto my Gnex and use my unlimited data whenever we are around each other!
