With the international firmware there's no restrictions on the tethering. I can use the tethering on the xperia play, xperia s and ion with no problem. Never got a notice from at&t either.

Besides all that at&t bloatware I haven't noticed anything missing I'll have to go into a app by app check though.

I don't know what that means. But why can't AT&T users use tethering? I have the unlimited LTE data plan and still can't use tethering. I'm too lazy to call AT&T, but I'm sure I'll get a much better answer here.

You have to pay more to get it.

Tethering is not an additional charge
If you get the 5 GB plan it's not and I can't imagine wanting to tether on a 2GB plan

When comcast took forever to hook up my cable I had to tether my Infuse. Used FoxFi. Showed to att as heavy use. Had a big overage fee but no tether fee.

hey is the only way to get the Tethering or Portable hotspot feature on the ion is by .111 LT28i firmware flashing into it cause I had stock att GB my friend rooted it into ICS and I got the LTE but I never got the "Tethering or Portable Hotspot" setting again after it was rooted.

Yes because you can flash any of the lt28 firmwares on the lt28at. Starting the flashing procedure but don't plug the phone in until the box pops up saying to plug it in.

I've used it less than a dozen times in the past 2 years for a total of less than 30 minutes. Mostly to send email when my email server would not allow access from an unsecure free wifi hotspot. I have seen others brag about using it in place of home internet. Some even brag about using it for gigabytes of bandwidth monthly.

I've been using Good on a rooted device for 6 months, both S2/S3 and various ICS/JB/AOKP roms. I know Good used to not run on a rooted device, but I don't think that is the case anymore. ISIS, now that I know nothing about

4.0 has that feature also.. Jelly bean let's you resize it though.. Just slightly.. And the feature only works with the built in video player.. Not with YouTube, Netflix etc.
So basically you can only use that feature from some Facebook videos and videos you have in your own phone

Mine hasn't worked for a while either so I gave up. It used to work fine right when I unlocked and rooted, but then after a few weeks it stopped working as you described. I've uninstalled, installed, tried all the settings, wiped cache and dalvic, basically everything short of completely wiping the phone and starting over.
