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

Starting from this release the native wifi tethering has to be working.
I can connect my Nexus7 to Mini 2, but data traffic doesn't transfer, while Open Garden Wifi Tether app is working great.
I had the same problem with stock rom, solved by changing APN type.
Is there any APN type other than default,supl that I might use with cm 10.1?
Thank You.
I have used it with LG G and it works just fine

Did anyone get some hotspot app working that doesn't use AT&T tethering APNs? I don't have the hotspot/tethering feature from AT&T on my account, but I got an old version (2.0.7) of this:
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
working. It creates an AP, and I can connect my laptop to it and browse. My APN stays "wap.cingular" (cause I'm on a legacy data plan).
However that version of tether app doesn't seem to either find WPA supplicant or not able to configure it. Either way, my AP comes up unsecured even though the app thinks it is.
Anything better than this out there that is free?

I've searched and searched but there's nothing I could find. I think jmz had a thread somewhere around here to get WiFi tethering working but I don't know if it worked 100%. the application I use to the tether is via bluetooth but also available through usb using foxfi btw. If that works for you, easy tether might be better depending on what you want

Jmz'm method adds APNs into telephony.db and that's the way to tether through provider's (paid) service you have on your account. I can't connect to that APN unless I start paying for that service. To be exact, the network rejects my AT&T sim when I try to connect and I'm left with no data connection of any kind. My sim is only good for "wap.cingular" APN.
This thread is for non-APN tethering methods.

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??
This section is pretty bare so I thought I'd share this app that I have been using to enable unlimited tethering. It was recently updated to work on LG 5.X devices and it really works. My phone does really heat up when it's enabled, but I guess that's a small price to pay to have to worry about the tethering cap.

I use it too, it was a little funky to set up but it works. I also agree on the heating up. It does have some issues charging while it is active. I left it on accidentally over night and it was plugged in. When I looked at it in the morning it was at 40% battery. Either way still worth it.

What configuration did you use? LTE Tether patch checked?

I've been successfully running WiFi Tether Router.
LTE Tether Patch is checked.
You have to set up an APN with IPv4.
Make sure you switch to the APN you set up with IPv4 protocol.
After you connect via WiFi to your pc, check to make sure WiFi Tether Router is using data from your unlimited phone data and not the Tmo Hotspot (5gb cap)

For what it's worth, if you have unlimited data with tmo you should have 7gb of hot spot. It was increased automatically when they updated their plans.

I'm still showing 5gb for some reason.
I'll have to check into it, as I see that it was increased to 7gb from 5gb.

Set up the new APN with the same settings as your existing APN which is named T-Mobile LTE.
Double & triple check the settings.
The only setting which will be different is the IPv4 setting.
I named my new APN; T-Mobile LTE 2.
I also turned my WiFi off when I'm using WiFi Router.
Your pc should see WiFi Router which you will then connect to.
The above info is for my H811.
I see you have a Note 4.
I would think that my instructions should also work.
But look on the WiFi Router instructions to see if anything should be set differently for the Note 4.

Why is a second APN needed?

The APN Protocol needs to be IPv4, and I wasn't able to change my native protocol, the APN that's programmed into the phone which has IPv6, so I programmed a 2nd APN, which I am able to change. I use the 2nd APN when I use WiFi Router, and then I switch back to the IPv6 protocol APN when I disconnect from WiFi Router.
I didn't change no apn or check lte patch and so far I have used 40gb of wifi tether .

I just tried my original (native) APN w/IPv6 and unchecked LTE Tether Patch in WiFi Router, and it is confirmed working. Looks like the issue I was having previously regarding not connecting was unrelated to setting up a new APN, and coincidentally started working after connecting to the newly set up APN.

I'm using Method 2.
I am able to connect using either/or:
- APN Protocol IPv4
- APN Protocol IPv6
- LTE Tether Patch checked
- LTE Tether Patch unchecked
*Important*
When you connect to WiFi Router, check your data to make sure you are using your Unlimited Data and not your Hotspot alloted data.
Don't want to sound silly, but is there a proper guide on how to set up an apn on this phone? Would really like to tether my laptop.

To set up a new APN, press:
- Settings
- More
- Mobile Networks
- Access point names
- Press the 3 dots in upper right
- New APN
Using the settings from your existing T-Mobile LTE, fill in the following fields for your new APN, with the following changes notated with an * -
*Name
(T-Mobile LTE 2 or whatever you'd like)
APN
MMSC
MCC
MNC
*APN type
(default,supl,mms,dun)
*APN protocol
(IPv4)
I set up my new APN a while ago, but I am able to use my original APN (T-Mobile LTE) to tether without issue.
When you tether, check your account to make sure your data is being used from your included Unlimited Data and not from your Hotspot limited data.
So this app lets me use more then 7gb of teathering....so this is the teathering hack?
