This tutorial covers the step by step guides involved in unlocking tethering services on ATT branded Android devices.
Usually, AT&T disables the tethering services which include WiFi Mobile Hotspot tethering, Bluetooth tethering and USB Tethering hence; you cannot use any of these tethering features so long as other carrier SIM card is inserted in the ATT branded Android device.
Besides the tethering features, certain apps that rely on the tethering service will not function at all (or as supposed) except you have ATT SIM card inserted in the Android device. Such app include Xender, Flashare and the likes of them.
Because many people regard this as a defect , we have included this solution in the PSR Suite - our special collections that teach you how to solving all phone software issues among others.
