[Q] wifi tethering not working

i installed cyanogen 6.1.0 RC1 after which i am unable to using wifi tethering. someone suggested me to use the wifi tethering app for root . but that also hasnt worked.
my laptop connects but i can browse any websites.

Me too... Same problem (no data transfer showing in phone)
I wonder if T-Mo have disabled some how?

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.

[Q] Wifi Tether not working???

Just rooted my Revolution today and installed wifi tether....the main reason I upgraded from my Dinc for 4G!!! Surprise!!! Doesn't work. Does anyone know if there is a reason I cannot tether my revolution with this app?

haven't gotten it to work for me either.

I'm assuming the dev hasn't updated it for LTE. Have you tried turning off 4g and trying it w/ 3g only?

You don't need to root. The free 4g hotspot will spit out 3g also if your not in a 4g area. So until July 6 i think, just use the Verizon provided app. I use it all the time and it works perfect.
Little Buddy Sr.

I haven't gotten mine to work either. It rather frustrating. I didn't realize there was free hotspot until july 6th? That's news to me.

actually, the stock app does seem to work for me. damn fast, too.
wifi Tether works too, i have it using wpa_supplicant with ASCII WEP, for some reason.
after connecting my cr-48 to it i got about 5mbps down, which is better than nothing.
random issue: bluetooth kept cutting out when using the tether.

Ok, several things.
I tried changing the access to ASCII WAP. Great. That got me to be able to enter a code. Its the validation that is still the problem. The status bar on my computer just sits there and says connecting to connection.
When the connection shows up in my wireless connection list, it has the 3 computer icons connected with arrows, instead of a signal reading. Could that be a problem? I guess its an ad-hoc network? I'm using WIFI Tether version 2.0.7 on a ASUS Windows 7 64 bit machine with an intel Centrino Core 2 processor
I know we have the 4g hotspot until july 6th, but I'm really hoping to find a solution or steps to a solution on this soon. I had Zero problems with 2 Incredibles.
As an aside, it also doesn't pair with my IPAD Wifi (I know, I know, its an apple product, but it was cheap).
Thanks everyone for you help!! I appreciate it.

wifi tether for root users (restored from backup) worked today
FYI-> I went to tether today and the 4G built-in app expired so i tried my restored wifi tether from my dInc.
it worked.
4g and 3g tested, both working.
not sure why this app didnt work before...
decrapped rom

I cant explain why, but download Open Garden Wifi Tether from android market. Basically same app as wifi tether but it works on Revolution.
Actually I take that back.. I havent been able to connect at all.. I was confusing the 4 days I spent with my thunderbolt before trading for the revo. Sorry..

mixed results with the open garden wi-fi. It connects to my laptop, which is better than before. But speeds are so gosh dern slow. I know some tweaking is needed on my end. Does anyone know the difference between this and the wi-fi tether app? on the surface they look the same.

update your laptops wifi driver and enable adhoc.n mode. That solved all issues on both of my laptops.

I've updated the drivers, trying to figure out how to enable adhoc.n mode. not finding that easily. Running Intel WiFi

under device manager and right click on your wifi card and click properties. There should be a bunch of tabs and under one of them there should be a option for adhoc

Could this be an possible explaination?? Could Vzw block all tethering all together? Says a recent update could affect all phones..

Edit: drt054 this nothing new verizon already killed the free hotspot app last month for the lg revolution. Wifi tether still works and must be side loaded to get access to it, since we don't have access to it in the market.

I was able to install and try barnacle but didn't work, also downloaded via Windows7 and installed Wifi Tether 3.1 beta-1 which also did not work. http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com if anybody wants to try it out.
With barnacle I was able to connect to my phone using another android device by checking "skip wpa_supplicant" but there was no connectivity but said "Connected".
Does anybody have a successful tether to Windows7 or another Android device?
Just saw on another forum, wifi tether will only work if the kernel has netfilter enabled. Anyone know how to check?

Fixed android-wifi-tether app will be released in the next week or so, just hold on tight!

If you're still having problems, you might want to check your video card: I have an Intel 6200, and after some exhaustive Google-ing, I found that if you revert your driver to 13.1.1.1 it works fine.
If you're considering PDANet as an alternative, I'd advise against it; it's not a bad option per se, but the free version bars you from https sites after a while (a month I think), and it's slow... really, really slow in my experience (I was getting about 10KBps with PDANet, and now I pull around 60KBps... yeah, I'm way out in the boonies and can only get 3G for the time being).

Wifi Tether WORKS!!!
I just downloaded Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 3 and I have a successful tether to my Windows 7 desktop. In Wifi tether settings and under LAN make sure MSS clamping is checked. I don't know what it is but it works.. download here.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta3.apk
speedtest.net 10.25Mbps down
also, don't know if it matters but using Revolt 1.3 ROM

drt054 - I love you. They're up to beta 6 now so if anyone else is reading this be sure to download the most recent one.

WiFi tethering TO Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE - help!

Hi,
I followed orlandoxpolice's instructions for Da_G's gtab 8.9 LTE root at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401100
and I am now rooted. The reason I did this was so that I can use the LTE service from my laptop in those travel situations in which the gtab's browser doesn't work as well as my laptop's would for some websites that I need to use on the road.
However, I can't get tethering to work. Maybe this is a Honeycomb issue? I installed the latest Barnacle, and it grabbed superuser perms and seemed to run perfectly, but I get no Internet access from my laptop when I tether to the gtab, even though I connect to the gtab and get a dhcp ip address with no problem. I also tried Android WiFi Tether at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ but that produces the same result. Has anyone else gotten this working?
Thanks!

can't say i have tried this, but could it be a driver issue on your laptop? have you tried tethering with your desktop or any other computer?

Hmm, ROM or kernel might not have the necessary bits to route packets for tethering, I made a note to take a look at things next time I get a chance. Still no device though so I'll be doing it in the blind ROM doesn't have android tether app built into settings -> wireless & networks I take it?

[Q] Unable to achieve wifi tether

I have the AT&T Galaxy S5 rooted via towelroot. I have tried several tether options, and all I have successfully gotten to work is pdanet through usb tether, and the limit pdanet imposes is not acceptable to me so I need to find an alternative. I would prefer a wifi tether method. If I try to enable the stock wifi or usb tether I receive the classic (To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611) message. The wifi methods I have tried but not limited to are FoxFi, WiFi Tether-TrevE Mod, Open Garden WiFi Tether, and Barnacle Wifi Tether. With every thing I have tried, I always receive an error that varies with the app. I am open to pretty much anything, I just need clear instructions if it involves changing system files. I will really appreciate the help

I recently changed over to a mobile share value plan with at&t. Not only did my bill go down quite a bit, but the package also includes tethering. That being said, i believe foxfi works for tethering.

Check out the Wifi provisioning bypass thread under GS5 General forum. That method worked fine for me.

Could you point me too the WiFi provisioning bypass thread please. I searched for it under general and could not find it, thanks

After being guided in a different direction by STraver (Thank You) I have finally figured out a solution. The thread STraver referred to is actually titled "Wifi-Tethering Provision Bypass" which is why I didn't find it at first. In my renewed search I ran across several different methods, 2 of which required me to flash a zip in recovery. Both times the zip did not agree with my phone, it looked as if the code failed and then repeated in a continuous loop, my phones solution to the issue both times was to trigger a factory reset. I finally decided to go with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791938 which did the trick for me. I only strayed from one step,
Step 2:
Open Titanium Backup and find TetheringProvision 4.06.72
Press the App and select 'Freeze !'
Instead of purchasing Titanium Backup to freeze TetheringProvision, I got a free app from the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramdroid.appquarantine&hl=en and it did a great job at freezing TetheringProvision. For instructions solely concerning Xposed, I reviewed post #4 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787606
This is what worked for me, and I can now freely use the native built-in wifi and usb tethering.

Any options for tethering apps (non-root) for Sprint G4?

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.

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.
