Trying to find a way to tether my unrooted VZW Moto X to my nexus 7. Have used pdanet/foxfi in the past on other phones with great success so I figured I'd try. I know WiFi tether isn't supported on KitKat (according to PDAnet) and am having trouble getting the bluetooth tether to work. It shows I'm connected but can't get any data on any app.. Does anyone know if this is not possible with pdanet and kitkat, or am I being a goon... Thanks
Anyone???
Hi all,
I have a stock t-mobile branded nexus 6, and for the life of me, I can't get the wireless hotspot to work. I've got the grandfathered unlimited Internet with 3gb of tethering (which is enough). I can turn on hotspot and my laptop will connect, but with "limited connection". If I go to any website, the browser will say resolving host, but never go anywhere. Here's the funny part, I can connect with a nexus 7 through wi-fi, and that will work perfectly. T-mobile says the account is set up correctly for tethering. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem, make sure you register the phone with the Tmobile network, (through settings), I did that, then it works again.
Hello,
Anyone know if FoxFi or other techniques work to tether the phone with a laptop to get internet from the phone onto the laptop? I know I can pay Sprint to subscribe for the hotspot feature, but I feel it's unjust because I'm paying for data already (not unlimited plan) so I feel it would be unjust double-billing to make me pay for the data twice essentially.
USB cable methods would be fine, in addition to bluetooth or wifi. Anything?
I tried a few of them and couldn't get anything to work. Root can't get here fast enough.

Foxfi doesn't work. Confirmed yesterday.
I am attempting to gain my MSL so I can change some APN settings and setup hotspot using foxfi and trick the authentication through the APN like on the S6.
This phone has been a real pain the rear trying to get access to things.
how can you get your msl, call Sprint?

you do not have to call Sprint to get your MSL/SPC - method described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521276 worked for my LG G4 Sprint
Can you please provide instructions for enabling hotspot via foxfi without root? I can get to APN settings screen via ##3282# but there is no field "APN Type" on this phone
PDAnet+
If you haven't looked at it I would suggest PDAnet+. I can't directly link to it but the web address is pdanet.co. I personally use it with the USB Tether and it works flawlessly, for the most part. What I mean by that is if you don't have a koalality USB cable you WILL run into some issues. I was using my old G2 cable not realizing it was shot and would drop the connection and corrupt big downloads. The Free version has a few restrictions, but for light or general use I don't think that would be a major issue. I bought the app as I use my G4 as my internet on my PC . I game with it and download things with no issues. I downloaded all of GTA 5 (60gb) with no major issues either.
Could you elaborate on what is a koalality USB cable? I searched google for "koalality USB" and nothing came up.

LOL, he probably meant quality
USB cables are not born the same. Personaly I use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere to test the USB cable. You will see a huge difference in Amps between good and bad USB cables using the same charger.
hah thanks, didn't catch that. OK will try out both the PDAnet+ app and the Ampere app and see how they work.
So Much for pdanet+ says it's not supported by our carrier.

I have written up a method to enable the native wifi tethering functionality here

USB and bluetooth both work fine with foxfi (paid) on the phone and pdanet on the laptop. I suspect but haven't tried that pdanet on the phone in conjunction with pdanet on the laptop will work as well.
Foxfi, Tether It, and WiFi Tether Router are all working.
Just confirmed that pdanet on the phone with pdanet on laptop worked.
PDANet on laptop and FoxFi work beautifully for USB. WiFi tether doesn't work for me.

WiFi Tether Router requires root, so it can't be working
it used to be possible to enable stock tethering by changing APN Type to default,mms,dun , but I no longer see "APN Type" in the APN menu
ok, not sure how it works, but certainly seems to. i dont get the hot spot error anymore

Did this today, worked for me.
I also used Klink, which is a paid USB tether with nice configuration features. I used PDAnet before Klink for USB tether, but could never get its Wifi tether to work when the native hotspot was still disabled.

Hey there. Just a couple of questions. Do you have Sprint, unlimited data, the latest OTA, and was it on LTE?
I tried today, September 22 for the first time and almost immediately got the pop up. I have Sprint unlimited with latest OTA but was on 3G with the pop up.
I followed these directions which I think is the same, http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-enable-wifi-tethering-on-sprint-lg-g4-without-root/ but wasn't sure what they meant when they said, "f it works good but if you get a popup saying “Due to network issues, tethering has been disabled”, you need to follow the same steps again but instead of selecting Internet in the APN settings select ‘cinet.spcs’."
Thanks.

I searched for help unsuccessfully. If I missed a post that offers help, please refer me to it.
I have an unrooted first generation Motorola X. It has recently been factory reset. When I enable Wi-Fi tethering and I can see the wireless connection but none of my devices can connect to it.
Windows Devices say "Cant connect to this network"
Android Devices just never say connected
Troubleshooting steps I have already taken
1- Reset adapter (On windows)
2- Rebooted (both phone and computer)
3- Uninstalled and Reinstalled newest driver for PC
4- Successfully tethered this PC to a different phone on same plan using Wifi Tethering
5- Successfully tethered this PC to this phone using USB Tethering
6- Attempted using 5ghz vs 2.4 ghz
7- Attempted using no security vs WPA2
Any ideas what else I can do to troubleshoot this?
Running the stock firmware? If not, what are you running? What model Moto X do you have?
I can confirm this.
Moto X - 1060 DE on Verizon. Stock firmware
OTA update to 5.1 broke tether in the way mentioned. Wifi appears to cycle on and off repeatedly such that you may be able to occasionally catch it, but the connection is not maintained if it even ever gets a chance to complete.
AT&T cancelled their roll-out without explaining why, but I would not be surprised if this may be one issue
Edit: LG-G3 had the same issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/lollipop-tethering-t3071188
As the title says.
I recently updated my phone (Z3 Compact D5803) to Marshmallow (6.0.1) and since then I've been unable to tether. I constantly get "Error occurred during tethering" and if I do connect a device to my phone, said device does not have internet access.
I've done this: http://www.lukecjdavis.com/fix-inter...droid-devices/ and this works for about a day but I always have to do it again.
My MNO is Three Ireland, if that matters, but I don't think it does because my sim card let's me tether in other phones, just not my Z3C...
Does anyone know a way I can fix tethering on my phone?
Thanks.
