Teathering

ok so im getting the nook this afternoon (if ups comes through) and ive been thinking one big compromise i made over the galaxy tab was 3g. I would love to use this in places other than the ones with wifi. I have an HTC heroC and the wireless card does not support being a wireless hotspot, so i am forced to use apps like barnacle wifi teather but the speeds are horrible. Now that we have BT working on the nook (thx devs!) could i use PDA net's "Bluetooth teather" option to tie my nook to my phones 3g?

The bluetooth isn't working on the nook. (the hacked roms have it barely working)
The only thing you can do is connect it thru wifi. I've got a Motorola Cliq and can turn my phone into a wifi hot spot that my nook can access.

Actually this is completely incorrect. CM7 roms have it working relatively well. I cann get about 6 feet of distance with it now so if your holding your nook and your phones in your pocket I dont see why it wouldn't work.

HI,
Sounds like some people have a non-user friendly method of getting Bluetooth
tethering running from Nook Color running CM7 to cell phone via bluetooth.
Haven't tried it myself yet. See these threads in developer section:

Not to mention that the absolute last way CyanogenMod should be referred to is "hacked."

I'm still on CM7 19 and bluetooth is working well! However, I have not gotten BT tethering working at all (haven't tried much, bcuz wifi works well for me). Wondering why you get such bad speeds via WiFi tether? I have an OG Droid and I get good speeds.
I suggest trying out Wifi tether first and see how it works.

I'm hoping someone can answer my related question here about my phone.
I currently have the Samsung Moment, and no matter what ROM I use for my NC, I can't get it to see my tethered connection in the Available Networks.
My NC can see my friend's tethered connection on his HTC Touch Pro 2, and Nexus One, so I have a feeling it's got something to do with my phone.
Anyone with experience with the Samsung Moment--do you have any input as to a ROM that might make this work?
Thanks in advance.

Most of the NC ROMS do not support Ad-hoc wifi networks right off the bat. If you're not sure if you have an ad-hoc network or not, try and tether your phone to your computer and you should be able to tell on there. If it is an ad-hoc issue, follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868354

I too have a HTC HeroC and both it and my Nook are running CM7, AOSP build for the phone and Phiremods build for the nook. I have no problem using Wireless Tether to use my phone as a hotspot, I do so just about every day at work to brows the internet on lunch, speeds have been fine, can watch Youtube stuff and listen to internet radio just fine.

I use Wifi Tethering for Root Users on my Epic and it works great with my NC.

Wifi issues

So I'm having Wifi Connection issues on my Mile stone. I'm running the Lastest STABLE version from Miui.us. Problem is I can connect but within a min or two of connection it looses connection and says wifi out of range even if Im standing right next to it. If I forget the connection and restart my router it will find it and connect again and do the same thing. I've tried my cousins Samsung Vibrant on my wireless router and he doesn't have any issues so I know its not the router itself. Any Idea's on how to fix this guys?

I've had some success with changing the wifi sleep policy in the advanced tab of the WiFi settings.

Yeah, 1.9.9 is a beta development build, but he's just remarking how stable it really is.

Hi, I have the same problem with WIFI, I cahanged the slep policy, and when I activate Wifi it's starting scanning for nothing, no wifi Network appears and when I can connect, after a whie it's disconnecting itself and doesn't reconnect. Somebody knows the problem?..I'm using MIUI android v1.9.9

I'm not sure, I updated to 1.9.16 and I'm having some issues with mine but not as bad. The weird thing is wifi won't work if the mobile data network is enable, when i turn that off my wifi will connect but if i get even like 10 feet away from the router it starts having connection issues and sometimes when im right next to it. But no where as bad as it was before.

Can you be a little bit more specific? Have you ever been able to connect to wifi stations anyway?

are you sure that your router wifi is enabled? and broadcasting the ssid?

Sorry its a home adhoc wifi
but finally i got it working

Wi-Fi tether no longer an option..

Ok so I'm running a Rom that has the native Wi-Fi tether enabled but as soon as a device connects the signal drops (meaning I loose data on the phone)
I've noticed many many people after updating to kitkat having the same problem but no one has a solution.
Has anyone found a workaround to get Wi-Fi tether working again?
I'm using a sense based rom. Not sure if aosp rom would fix this issue.

+1. I have been searching for a fix myself. The 4g and native tether do not work well together, at least with me. I've tried the patch on stock roms as well with the same results. I connect just fine, but then seconds later the data will drop. I have good 4g coverage and without the hotspot active, the connection will never drop. If I switch to cdma only there are no drops while tethering. I have been testing different scenarios to find a solution, but no success yet. I also have not found any mention of the problem on the cm threads, but I prefer sense and have not tested. It makes me wonder if the sprint proxies are causing this. I am tethering a window device.

Just curious...do you have a hotspot plan with Sprint?
I am having the same problem with the stock OTA and and using the hotspot hacks since I don't have a hotspot plan. It would be interesting to know if those with a hotspot plan (for which the native app should work unhacked) have the 4G problem too...

Good question. No I do not have the hotspot plan. Never have needed it with the fix prior to kk. I'm not abusive of it, but I simply hate the fact that 4g now doesn't work very well with tethering. Seems to be a hit or miss with everyone. Mine will connect, load a few pages then out of nowhere the connection drops. Go cdma only and it works as should. I'm hoping a few of these threads will gather some attention and help us find a solution for everyone.

Been testing some CM builds of Kit Kat. I have been running CM11 build modded by IrocEvo the last few days. I have had zero issues with any type of tethering. 4G tethering works as should with no disconnects. I'm not sure what the difference is in the scripts for the mods, but possibly someone could assist here. For now, ill be keeping a backup of this build specifically for tethering purposes.

I don't have hot spot on my plan, but I'm trying the new ecliptic rom with sense six, just haven't been able to try4g tether today...been to busy building an engine :/ hopefully try tomorrow

After some further testing on the CDMA+LTE mode, I was able to determine that I could successfully tether my android tablet and samsung smart TV with no interruptions. The problems begin while using this mode (rather than CDMA only) and tethering my laptop. It appears while using this radio mode sprint sniffs the packets for user agent data and once determined its a windows device the connection is interrupted. My question is, why would this happen on this radio mode only? Are the APN settings different for this mode and can those be changed. Sorry to keep beating the horse, but I would like to find a solution rather than running a VPN to tether my windows 8.1 laptop. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.

Do you use chrome or IE? When I use chrome all is fine, when I start using IE I get the drops. I'm using a MS Surface Pro on Win8.1. Strange, but I think I have pinned it down.

Why would you choose to use internet explorer?

Honestly I use both chrome and ie...my work stuff and chrome don't agree...but I use chrome for just about everything else

I've looked into this before and the common response I would find is that it has to do with the Hotspot apk in Sense. There was some sort of change when moving from JB 4.2 to 4.3.

I've since moved to the Google edition rom and everything works there ?

WIFI Sharing not an option anymore?

Hello all,
Recently i went to make a hotspot for my cars radio since the WIFI antenna doesn't get a good signal and i did not have the option to share WIFI. The only way i would be able to make a hotspot was to add it to my plan.. Which im not gonna do obviously since i only use it very often... Was this feature removed? I'm running Android 10 on ATT. It worked a few weeks ago... Any help?

Maybe some screenshot can help the other to answer for your problem

if youre running stock firmware, it doesnt shock me that your providers CSC locked out the native wifi sharing. If you flash the U1 firmware for your device (ubranded, directly from Samsung) then youll have that option again. I did that exact same thing on my S9

2 questions...
1. Where can i find these "u1 unbranded" firmware?
2. Would this affect anything on my phone from my provider? such as data.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry... you're right a SS would of been useful.
As you can see no selection for WiFi share. Also, i need to disable WiFi in order to hotspot now.

IT is there, just a bit hidden...
Goto Settings... Connections... Mobile Hotspot and Tethering..top on the left of the Mobile Hotspot Toggle line (just tap the M of Mobile)... click on the 3 vertical dots on the top right...... voila... Wi-fi Sharing shows up!!!

yes, you have to turn off wi-fi before you can run your own hotspot, it probably just did it without alerting you to it before. These devices only have 1 wifi radio and it cant use one wifi while producing its own also
here is the U1 firmware should you decide to flash it. doesnt sound like its strictly necessary as others might have found a solution for you, but here it is anyways

What is the benefit (besides getting rid of bloat on the phone from ATT) for using the u1 firmware?

That's about it. Well that and the boot animations and so forth as well

Since the most recent Samsung update I haven't been able to use hotspot either. I'm hoping to find a way to downgrade.
