Has anyone got Wireless hotspot working on the Vivid? I've tried a few wireless tether apps and nothing works. The best I can get is to start tethering, but the connected device can't actually access the internet.
I am trying to tether an iPad so USB tether is not an option.
I am running stock ROM, rooted. I am open to other ROMs if that's what it takes.
Do not think the wireless tethering works on the stock rom. You will need a custom rom IIRC.

Thought so...can you reccomend one?
I used the stock Wireless Hotspot app in HoliRaider and it works perfectly. The only thing is you won't get LTE speeds unless you tether via usb.

If your rooted and running a custom rom you dont have to.

The reasons that I wanted this update was the promise of better radio and to get Google Wallet.
The 3g icon is shown all the time now, but speeds are 2g at best on the same places I used to get 2g so, just the icon changed.
Even where I used to be roaming it shows 3g, but the speed, 8 to 80kbps is the average, just like before.
I'm posting links for the new apk's that came with the update plus the old apk for Netflix, the updated one won't let you watch on 2 devices simultaneously.
(I had to remove the "h t t p : / /" from the links because I'm a new user).
Wallet.apk - db.tt/cwXPbOJA
Shopper.apk - db.tt/WQPistv2
Netflix.apk - db.tt/Rif4IF1z
I'm not sure you can just download the apk to your SD and install using a file explorer.
Let me know if it works or not.
Thanks,
Digo.

Of course you can still tether. I did not lose the ability to tether when my firmware updated to the newest version.
Or did you mean tether for free if that's not included in your service plan, which is an entirely different concept?
Yes, that's what I meant, tether for free no more.

Thank you for the advice, I have Wi-Fi tether but it didn't work. It turns on like used to but my computers don't find the signal.
I see that the version u posted is newer than the one I have, will try this one and see.
I'll let u know.

Can't for free, sorry it took me so long to answer.
With android 2.3.4 u can tether for free.

Are you even rooted? lol CM7 and many custom Roms/kernels are available that let you tether natively. Maybe give some more information so we can help you. Thanks for the files though, that was thoughtful.
You can flash another radio or latest radio as well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078213
Sorry guys, I feel stupid now . I wasn't able to tether with Wi-Fi tether, because I was connected to my home network. :|thanks for all the help.
Wild1z, I will try the cell radio that you posted to me. Tks a bunch

what would u guys recommend as the best means of wireless tethering for the vivid? ive tried the htcsupertook exploit for the stock tethering app b ut it didnt work.
thanks
real wifi hotspot tethering (not ad-hoc) is built in on the holicakes rom. I have been using in for the last couple of hours with no issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend this rom.

Do you have LTE in your area? I've noticed when my phone is connected to LTE I can't tether. Under portable Wi-Fi Hotspot is says No Mobile network, when I'm connected to anything else it works. I am also running the Holicakes rom.
I'm running rum raider and the stock tethering app.works

I am on mav rom 3.5 and have used the wireless tethering from day one with this rom. I just tried to tether and much to my surprise I got the Verizon screen about not being setup to tether. I have since flashed back to stock and reflashed my Rom but still no luck tethering. Has anyone else had this happen?
Have not defined the radio hack yet but it was working without the hack before.

I discovered the same thing recently. Verizion redirects connection.
Did the radio hack back to having wireless tethering.

Wireless tether isn't really working for me at all. Anything else for an option at this point?

Are you using the one built in? I have been using that one successfully. I'm on TMO, but I think this app is just the one that comes with the phone.
You need to state which model phone you have, and what ROM.
Use WiFi Tether free a on the market.

I'm using EasyTether Pro v1.1.5 by Mobile Stream. It works using USB to my Win7 laptop. Also works using Bluetooth to my Asus Infinity Tablet (new feature that came out yesterday). My Sprint USA HTC One is totally stock, unrooted and locked.
:good:
I'm having an issue connecting other devices to my hotspot via wireless tether on my HTC One M8. I'm currently on ViperOne 1.3.1 ROM, stock kernel. The devices I try to share my network with (ps3, 360, iPhone, M7) will pair with my phone with no problem but it won't let any device connect to my network. Can someone please help me?
I also have an htc one M7, also ViperOne ROM but have no issues tethering other devices to that device.
have you done this with any other device? as far as i know hotspot is just an internet bridge and doesn't create a lan, basically it treats all devices conected as one... i might be wrong though, but even when i had legal hotspot on my old verizon contract i wouldnt get a lan just Internet

now that im reading more thoroughly i missread the question...
i had the same problem on stock, i fixed it by using the second option here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51786725
you might need to flash the zip too idk since you're in a custom rom, but the script manager thing did the trick for me
