Hey guys. I have a samsung galaxy s4. SCH s 975 L model. It's through straight talk and runs on AT&T. I didn't notice this before, but now on my juice defender widget, it is constantly showing tether when I'm not on a WiFi network. Does anyone know if this means I am actually having a tether option continuously running? Thanks for any help you can give me.

This is a bump or request to be moved to a proper forum for answers. Thanks for any help.

As you suspect Juice Defender let's see if anyone in Applications has any info or ideas.
Do you know of some where else we could move this?

I don't think juice defender is causing the problem. It is just showing "Tether" when normally it would just show data... meaning data was enabled. Now it's like juice defender won't disable my mobile data when my phone is locked because it thinks it is tethering.

Just how it seems. How can I tell if my phone is trying to Tether? Or what app is making it Tether?
