Hmm. My story is i'm using provider Indosat on my country. Use it in my office and it works fine. I can tether it easily to my laptop. Most of my colleague are using another provider Simpati, and recently my office bought a repeater to strengthen Simpati's signal. And now, i can still get signal for my indosat, but my internet is barely works at all. Any solution to overcome this?
My other solution is i change provider to Simpati, but somehow Simpati blocked the data plan. I can tether it using wifi but there'a no data flow rendering it useless. I can still use it on the phone though.
Is there a hack or anything to enable the data flow? Since my plan is already unlimited anyway.
Thanks before, any suggestion will do

There is no reason to use WiFi tether for root, when it's implemented much better in the OS itself.
As I wrote before in another thread, there might be another APN that needs to be used to allow tethering and full internet access.
In T-Mo case - I don't know what might be the reason.
I'm only using the native tether, or at least trying, but it doesn't seem to be working as of this morning...

well for some odd reason i tried to connect using my office laptop and it worked . there wasnt any problem with wifi tethering. so my personal laptop wifi driver might have an issue. cant think of anything else.
I am trying to figure out how to make "wireless tethering" between 2 Android phones work. Is it possible? I can't find any info on it.
I have a Captivate with an Unlimited Dataplan and a Captivate without a Dataplan. The one WITHOUT the Dataplan is on AT&T's $50 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web Plan (Prepaid). The Talk and Text work just fine but the internet does not unless I pay for a separate package. I was wanting to use my Rooted Captivated with the Unlimited Dataplan to broadcast my internet over to the other phone when nearby. We don't have Wifi at home. I use the Wireless Tether apk all the time for a laptop, but for some reason the other phone can't see the signal. Any help would be appreciated!
Put a rom that includes mobile ap on the phone with the unlimited data plan, create a hot spot with it, and connect the other phone to it with wifi.
I haven't done any Custom Rom Flashing yet. I was just wondering if it is possible to do it with an App like Wireless Tether apk.
There are instructions on how go fix this around it involves removing tge wirelesstether apk i did it on my stock rom and works great

I have an issue with the 4G mobile hotspot app. Can't connect my tablet, a stock Toshiba Thrive, to the internet via my phone. It recognizes the WiFi hotspot but can't obtain an IP address. Tries to obtain an IP address for a few minutes, stops, then starts over.
I am using Revolt rom 1.5.
I added the 4g hotspot app (from a zip file using CWM) . Insructions and app were in the Revolt 1.5 thread.
My tablet connects to my home WiFi and with the McDonald's Wifi.
I have added the 4G mobile HotSpot to my Verizon account and have received an email from them saying that the feature has been added.
My recommendation would be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162170
My bet is that this will solve your issues, and you don't have to fork over those ludicrous rates to Verizon.

This is an issue I've been working on. And, if you are like me and use tethering a lot, better to be safe and keep the tether plan. If you use less than 5 gigs total per month, then ditch the plan. I use anywhere from 35-70 gigs per month as it's my only internet, therefore, worth the extra $30 bucks for 40+ Mbps service.
The only way to get the 4gHotSpot app to work properly is to re-flash with the TOT file via LGNPST and keep it stock. Even just rooting seems to mess it up, but that may be related to installing a root-tether app as it was working right after rooting but not too long after it stopped, possibly after I installed a tether app. Even going back to stock from a backup doesn't seem to help. Something gets changed and messes it up and does exactly what you are referring to. It's related to the DHCP Server and I'm struggling trying to fix that.

Thanks, but that is not working either. I have that app but my Toshiba Thrive tablet will not recognize the ad hoc wireless network. That is what prompted me to go to the Verizon solution.
If you use Wifi Tether for Rooted Users, and choose LG Optimus S as your profile, and the network part to 192.168.1.0/24 it will create a normal network and the tablet should be able to connect.

Yeah, you should use the non-ad-hoc settings recommended in that thread. Others have their tablets working that way.

I have a need to connect to a WiFi device (Camera) not connected to the internet and be able to get internet data via 4G at the same time. Is it possible to force connection to the mobile network for data with the WiFi on? Rooted on KK.
TIA
All I can think of would be to tether your data, portable hotshot to the camera.

No you can't. I would say tether like the previous post said.

Thanks for the replies.
Any suggestions where I can learn about portable hotspots? Is this a device requiring a separate data plan and acts like a mobile wifi access point? The camera I'm attempting to use wants to be on it's own network.
I've tethered before to a PC thru both USB or Bluetooth, but not familiar with hotspot.
You can do wifi tether on your phone...

I've tried Wifi tethering, but the camera wants to act like a router/master and can not be changed. The SSID and passwords are the only settable things.
Ad Hoc is not an option. It does the address assignment and security password management. Maybe I need a different software on the phone? Or maybe a configuration I'm not doing??
Hello Everyone.
I am using a VPN and the Wifi Tether Router paid app from the market. I am curious as to how T-mobile still knows I am tethering, as I just got a "You used 80% of your High speed data" text from them (Have unlimited data plan)
Any ideas on how to completely hide? SSL? Proxy? Only seem to have issues with the Playstation and not the PC....
Any help appreciated...
The PS4 data probably shows up different on the network than PC data. I've read that T-Mobile put some new things in place on their end to identify data usage being masked.

I saw similar results. I noticed that when I tether, it doesn't route me through my openVPN connection regardless of the tethering method I use. You can test this on your own, fire up the vpn, then tether to your PC, then go check the external IP on your PC.
You'll most likely need a non-stock ROM for it to work. The ROM probably reports all MACs and the traffic passing through it to T-MO.
