Help wifi hotspot?

Jack Mickey · Mar 18, 2015

Just wondering if anyone has been able to get free wifi hotspot working with treve mod or any other app on the f60. I was able to tether my f60 to my pc using a combination of pdanet, tor browser and foxfi, but as for a hotspot... No dice. If not, ill gladly shell out the $5 a month, but just curious. Thanx!

I'm using the same apps as you and I couldn't get it either, I pay for Hotspot ($5) but it's only 2.5Gb of data.

Can you help.me?
I'm running OpenVPN (paid) seems to work good but 'wifi tether router' will not pass data through it. If i shut down Ovpn the router app works fine.

MetroPCS no longer charges for the HotSpot service. I have tested this and have been using it.

I know but they throttle you down to dial up speed after 6g on the unlimited plan, it's bullshit!

Wow only 6GB? I wonder if Krlypumaa's method gets affected with the throttling as well.

For those wanting to test this you need to do two things: Have an SQLite editor app and have a file explorer with root and chmod change capabilities. First edit your APN like Krlypumaa said. Set system/etc/hd and system/etc/hostpd to chmod 777 (all checks), this may need to be set upon every boot each time because I had to do the same to get it to work properly (eventually made an init.d script to do this on every boot). Then on you SQLite editor, on apps, go to settings storage. Select setting.db, then global. Look for tether_dun_required (it all the way on the bottom of the list) and set it to zero.

How would you confirm that throttling occurs after 6GB?

By speed tests after each threshold of data usage (per 1GB or however you want to divide it) on the tethered device. There's third party apps that could track a session of data usage so that way you don't rely on android's mobile data chart when checking those thresholds.

It's easy to tell because they drop you to dial up speed which in my case is 128k and totally useless.

I tried to DL SqLite and it said it was incompatible with my device.

That means you need to edit your permissions to 777 ( rwx.rwx.rwx )
For some reasons after everyones updated the Mymetro app... They all have been encountering data trotted..
Im still traying to figure out whats the glitch between app n redirections...
I have been very busy with work travelling... Plus been working on some stuff for LG Stylo...
