Hello,
I have been trying to get WiFi Tether Root working on my HTC One but it doesn't seem to want to work. I have watched the video for it and the HTC One for Sprint and the settings he used don't work for me. He did try to support me in the Youtube comments but nothing seemed to work. I did find a WiFi tether app that does work but the phone gets so hot it eventually shuts the WiFi hotspot off. That app is WiFi Tether Router. I have also tried FoxFi and PDANet+ neither seem to work.
Does anyone know how to get WiFi Tether Root working on the HTC One with laptops and Android tablets? Below is the troubleshooting I have already done.
I have the current version of WiFi Tether Root - TrevE Mod
I have tried Device Profiles: Auto, Generic, Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), Generic ICS/JB (wlan1), and others
Enable WiFi Encryption is off
WiFi-driver reload is turned on
With any of these settings the WiFi hotspot turns on, the download and upload sections of the application show no data flowing through or very little. Normally stopping at around 24 Kb download and 124 Kb upload.
Does anyone has a working configuration for this app? Does anyone know of a rom that has the native WiFi hotspot app service check disabled? Or a WiFi Tethering app that works without overheating the phone?

I also tried the fix described in this thread:

Turned on MMS clamping and Routing fix. Still no data going through.
I has the same problem and no luck if you find a solution please post it.
ROM?

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my gear and installed the null 14 ROM. My phone I am currently using is an S3 running stock 4.3. How do I go about tethering my internet from my phone to the gear? It seems they must have removed bluetooth tethering from the 4.3 as I only have wifi hotspot and usb tethering. Anybody else get this too or does somebody know what's wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks for any help guys

Im running stock rooted 4.3 on my gs4 with the tethering hack on verizon and i have bluetooth tethering under settings, more networks, tethering and then you check the bluetooth one. FYI bluetooth tethering is capped at about 3mpbs to is not exactly lightening fast but it does work. Make sure on your gear that you go into bluetooth settings and the click settings for the device your connected to and check use internet from device or whatever it says i forget exactly
So I have my S3 rooted now. What can I install to enable the bluetooth tether? Any info and/or links would truly help. I am not too smart when it comes to this rooting stuff. Thanks
hi, when im on rooted vz moto x, have Bluetooth tethering enabled and connected to my wifi only ipad, all works well, when i leave the range with my phone and than return to the ipad, i loose the connection and it wont connect manually, have to connect manually every time. any way to make the 2 auto connect? thanks
I think you could use Tasker to force a connection from the Moto X. I do the opposite - automate the connection using Tasker from my WiFi-only Nexus 7.
I'm really curious why you would BT tether with a rooted device since you can WiFi tether...?

You can WiFi tether without root - or at least I can. But I'm not on Verizon.
The reason I use Bluetooth for tethering is that is has virtually no impact on battery life, unlike WiFi tethering. My primary use of tethering is to get traffic info in CoPilot while navigating using my Nexus 7, so the much lower bandwidth of Bluetooth isn't a problem.

You cannot use WiFi tether on any carrier who requires Entitlement Provisioning without either having root, or being provisioned by the carrier for the entitlement (usually you must pay for this). Not since 4.2.2 Jellybean.
Anyways, thanks for the response. I couldn't figure out a useful advantage for using BT vs WiFi, but I see that there is indeed a legitimate use for it. :good:
I am able to enable wifi tethering because its included but i have not been able to set up a task with tasker to accomplish this automatically. I thought maybe it was a root function but since being able to root i have not been able to get this to work. I have tried the built in tasker stuff as well as secure settings plug in. Not sure if its a lollipop or s6 issue. Haven't been able to find anything on it. I just keep getting fail messages
I am in the same boat. I just want to enable the wifi hotspot when it connects to the bluetooth in my car. I am rooted as well. Same issue. I just cant get it to enable. it just errors. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can fix this. I will even use a third party wifi tethering app if it will work properly.
WiFi Tether Router in the Google Play Store.
must be rooted obviously.
That didn't seem to work. Said it was on but couldn't get anything to see it.

bluetooth tethering?
Is bluetooth tethering available? I just got a Z4 tablet and would like to use it.
I installed PDAnet on my Galaxy S7 using USB tethering and it worked Great
Then I tried Bluetooth and and paired PDAnet on my phone with PDAnet on my laptop
it worked even better, as if I was using WiFi
Try it out guys no root needed, no DSL codes

I haven't tried the bluetooth feature yet. I use the USB tether because of the internet share feature when using USB and the PDAnet software on my laptop. I still need WiFi for other devices such as my TV and Rand McNally Truck GPS. PDAnet was a big save for me when I could not root.
Do you have any connection drops using bluetooth? I lose bluetooth connection to my speaker system about once a day.

Yes.. I have notice connection drop using Bluetooth. Not sure why? If I need phone charge I use USB tether. Your right WiFi has other benefits like for multi devices. I'm a big fan of WiFi but Bluetooth or USB tether will do for now.
I rarely use WiFi on Rand McNally Truck GPS. I use my phone app to stay up to date with the weather.

Did you know that if you use USB Tether on PDAnet that you can use the WiFi Share (beta) on the PDAnet software on your computer. It seems to work very well. Only problem I have had is it shows up for bluetooth as an option also, but I can't seem to get it to work with bluetooth. I get an error 19.
edit: I just got WiFi sharing to work with BT. Had to reboot the computer.
Awesome!! I just tried it and it work. I connected my Rand McNally truck GPS thru WiFi Share (beta) using USB tether than I tried BT and WiFi Share on my laptop worked as well. Now we have USB Bluetooth and WIFI using only PDAnet.

Did you take the update that came out the 29th (I think)? What software version are you running?
I don"t think so... Software Version is G930PVPU1APB5, Android version 6.0.1, Android Security Patch Level Feb. 1 2016. I hope that helps you any.

Ok. The most recent version is G930PVPU2APC5. This update locked down the apn settings. It would be interesting to hear if anyone on the current software version can still use pdanet for wifi hotspot.

I took the update and PDAnet still works. PDAnet does nothing with the APNs. Instead you have to install PDAnet on both the phone and PC. The wifi hotspot is on the PC side using PDAnet software to do the share.

Yes. Usb tether works this way. And to tether through a pc and use the pc to create wifi. However, pdanet will also activate the native wifi hotspot capabilities of the phone itself. When I open pdanet+foxfi and hit "Activate wifi hotspot" it turns on the wifi hotspot of my phone. No pc involved.

You are correct the FoxFi part of PDAnet does have WiFi but it only works for us if we are paying for the hotspot and it then uses our allocated hotspot data. ie. I pay for 6gb a month and it will use that up. With that being the case I might as well just use it directly from the phone and not use FoxFi. If you are not paying for hotspot I do not believe it will work. If I'm wrong I'd like to know though.

You're right. It's been so long since I have used an non rooted phone. Been getting free hotspot for years. Right now I have altered my apn settings for the free hotspot.

I tried to activate Wifi hotspot PDAnet on the phone but it gave me "Hotspot Error" You are not subscribed to the Hotspot Service. Fail to activate Hotspot. Me paying an extra monthly fee for Wifi is not going to happend. This is why we need root among other things. If your Hotspot Wifi is activated on your phone then there is no need for PDAnet
It seems to have the same problem regular hotspot does for me after update. Keeps asking me to purchase plan. Have to reboot and quickly turn on. Glad that works our I'd be sol. Anyone else have a reliable method? My APN settings are locked out also now.

Even if paying for Wifi, PDAnet does still help (not with wifi but with USB or BT tether) by not using up are allotted data. I go through my allotted data rather quickly. I'm an over the road driver and use internet for many things to include weather on my truck gps, normal things such as email and system updates, and for entertainment (Games and movies).

I'm OTR myself and I know what you mean. I use my laptop for everything its my entertainment system. TV, movies, software, games I rely heavily on tethering my laptop with my phone. I even D/L movies and save them for later where there is no Internet like the Rockies. Thumbs up for PDAnet 2 thumbs up when root is here.
I'm thoroughly aggravated. I have Boost mobile plan with a hotspot. As I live on a houseboat, it's very important to me and 8gb isn't enough. A Boost rep gave me foxfi info. But I get error that my provider won't allow hotspot so I must tether or bt. Now I downloaded foxfi on ex who has Boost but not a hotspot. He can use the option of Foxfi hotspot,tether, or bt. I'm thinking of buying separate phone just for this.
Please verify with me is foxfi working with sprint gs7? I am thinking of upgrading and need to know what phone to get. please advise, anyone?

I am the same. Not so much movies, but all sorts of software. If I had to rely on my laptop for visual entertainment as well, I don't think it or me could handle it. I already fill up 5 virtual desktops, switch between windows and Linux and would punch my own mother in face for, like, 500% more screen space, or even just the ability to lower the dpi or increase the resolution past 1366x768... But currently, even with an alfa 36N and 9dBi antenna, the WiFi here is just plain ****. The burger King WiFi accross the street is better, but I can't can never get the login page to come up. so my phone is my sole Internet source.
I will say one thing, I really regret going with the nougat beta. I've been meaning to revert back so I can reroot because the Hotspot was unlimited and much more stable. That and the beta is super sluggish, at least for me. Some of the newer features were cool, but not nearly worth giving up root. But I let it get to the point where backing up and making the switch back will be an a 6 hour engagement, and I keep putting it off.
Amazing thanks
