jnelsoninjax Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to bypass the carrier for using hotspot. I really don't want to pay $5 a month to the carrier for them to let me share my unlimited bandwidth with another device. I have looked at the many offering in the play store, but none will work without having to enable the hotspot feature of the phone, and in doing so, I am redirected to the carriers page saying that I need to purchase the feature from them.

link6155 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Install Xposed Module, it is a must have for rooted phones. What Xposed does is lets you install modules that can tweak how your phone works or add functionality. One of them is X Tether, which lets you tether your phone's data: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.dym.motoxtether Dick Montage 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmeunit Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I usually use Cyanogenmod with Tether, but that's a bit more than just rooting. Did that on Sprint and Verizon without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbeck Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Rooted my phone, applied a different ROM, and can wireless tether my phone whenever I want. Never paid a carrier to use my data and what I am already paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 What ROM would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 What ROM would you recommend? From your profile info, you have the Galaxy Exhibit? While it isnt the most popular supported phone on XDA, looks like their are some Cyanogen ROMs for it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/exhibit-4g/development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
