I hope I'm in the correct forum...
I have rooted and flashed VirusROM on my HTC EVO 4G. I used to be able to use Sprint's Hotspot app to tether Wifi to my carputer. I was using it Thursday on the way to my in-law's place for Thanksgiving. I left and then could not get it to work again. The computer connects and the signal is at full strength but all browsers say "Page cannot be displayed" and my weather updates down load anymore. I tried using other computers/devices and all connect but none show an internet connection. I can use Google Maps, send/receive pics and videos, and use the internet on my EVO but I cannot share it. Did Sprint cut me off? Is there a setting I mistakenly changed?? I was under the impression that I can tether for free when its rooted. I even download to different tether apps and got the same results. Anybody have any suggestions? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Although I am not using wifi tether, I am using the built in wireless tether through Miui. It is working flawlessly on my Mac. I suggest you change your SSID and maybe your password. If no success delete your network settings and try again.

I've never heard of Miui. I'll try that next. I already tried changing the SSID, the passwords, and even the encryption type and nothing worked...I'm gonna go back and try it all again. Thanks for the input, dude!!
Didn't know Miui was a ROM...I like the way I have everything set on Virus so I was hoping to not have to change ROM's. Thanks again though! Please keep suggestions coming, guys!

Try this link, not sure which one will work for you but the pre-14 works for me. Just try each one untill you find one that works on your ROM, sorry I can't point you to ont that I know will work on that rom. I know the link says Nexus one but they will work on the Evo just fine. Most of these act just linke a router, not an ad-hoc.

Sprint's HotSpot and Wifi Tether don't give the option and Barnacle was already set on Channel 1 :/ Thanks though
Wireless tether is what I was talking about I use pre 14, just open the app and menu/settings, its the 4th option down.
I don't know how I missed that option. I went in and changed it to Channel 1 but no change...my roommate came home and sparked up his Incredible's hotspot and it worked perfectly of the bat...something has got to be wrong with my EVO
does your evo say that a device connected and does it show that anything downloaded under the wireless tether app mine used to get stuck at just over 1kb of data then i modded my framework_res.apk and somehow i can tether again
It does seem to stay on a very low KB like 1.1...although it does show the devices that are connected...
Mine did the exact same thing although im not entirely sure what I did that fixed this I edited the xml code for the notification bar and edited the notification bar which somehow caused my tethering to work

I would just like to start off by saying I am new here (came from droidforums.net). I always saw posts on there that refereed back to XDA-developers on that forum. I checked it out a few times, thought it might be to advanced for me... I have since then got a Sprint HTC EVO, and since droidforums.net doesn't really have any forums just for that device, here I am .......
I have a question, I have rooted my EVO and Put the Newest Deck ROM on it. But I can not seem to get the Wireless Tether to work.. I tried looking through that post (over 450 pages, WOW) but I think I must have missed it... I also sometimes have trouble with the WiFi, but I thought I read that WiFi wasn't completely working yet... But I really could use some help getting the Wireless Tether to work. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
I love the Deck ROM, it is clean and seems fast- still draining my battery though... But the Deck ROM is great because it lets me take control of my phone without all the extra crap. I really love the contacts! Why HTC insists on not allowing you to sort and display contacts by last name is beyond me.. Deck is Great!!!!
Semper Fi-
Kyle
Sense is great! It's as easy as pressing "phone" to dial a number then as you type the name of the contact it will be narrowing them down to the contact your trying to get to. It doesn't get easier than that! Lol

Only the built-in tethering works for me on Deck 1.2.1. When I had other tethering apps installed none of them would work, including the built-in one. Remove all tethering apps and wipe cache/dalvik. That's how I got it to work.

I started a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268090 because of this same issue. I'm assuming that is what led to the video on how to install the beta 6 version, but I'm still getting an error for wifi encryption, so for now i am turning on the access-control and not Having any more errors. I originally thought it was an compatibility issue with an app, but it looks to me it has more to do with the root method. lets give them time, it'll only get better.
Huh, guess I'm just failing tonight. I've tried every apk posted in the root thread and i can find. Can't get any tethering connections going. the only difference between me and the video is I don't have the hotspot message in my notification drop down. My root works fine and my laptop sees the ad hoc network (i change the name and the new network ssid comes up).
This is the first time I've ecer had problems with wifi tether on an android device

Update your super user and give it a try.
I'm starting with errors and the error is actually encryption. If I start without encryption I can tether just fine - Only when I start with encryption enabled does it kick out any issues.
Any ideas?
You might want to file a bug report with the project. I'm sure that we are missing something in the kernel but don't know what or how to find out....
Is anyone able to get 4G speeds while tethering? It seems to be really slow on a Windows 7 notebook I've tried with. Getting around 0.28 mbps down and 0.79 mbps up. Speedtest on the phone gets 10/1.5. I'm right by a tower. Haven't tried with my iMac which is located in an area with weak 4G coverage that cuts in and out.
3G is fine by the way when it's good. Getting 1.5/0.5 or faster.
any update
Im having the EXACT same problem. Im curious if you or anyone else has got this fixed yet?

Also,

If you are rooted you should install the hotspot mod. It is native sprint hotspot and is way better in my opinion.

Has anyone successfully tethered their VZW Gnex using native tether option (on any rom)?
I can get any other device ro connext and user the hotspot i create. But when i connect my xbox to the wifi hotspot the xbox tells me it cannot obtain IP address.
I've tried a ton of ways to fix this, even manually setting the IP the xbox looks for and such. But still no go.
If i go back to any 4.1 rom I'm able to connect to xbox and user my lte tether with no issues.
Anyone with a similar experience or fix to this? I've been trying to figure it out ever since 4.2 dropped and thought I'd finally see what my fellow forum users have to say on this subject
Thanks in advance for everything guys!
Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Quick bump
Sorry
I usually don't bump. I just been going nuts trying To see if it's only me having the problem
Any tips besides the basic stuff to fix an issue with tether? (To xbox360)
I can't get tethering to work on any 4.2.* ROM. Native or the WiFi Tethering app.
Since this is an absolutely critical feature for me, it looks like I'll never be upgrading.
I would seriously like an answer to this as well. I was going to make another thread here asking about the same thing because it seems that w/e rom I used that's based off of 4.1.w/e allows me to use my wifi hotspot just fine. I know it's not any of the devices receiving the signals problem because they were working just fine before I updated my g-nex to 4.2.1 or 4.2.2. Seriously....I've reached out and I get no answers. I don't want to go back to older versions because I shouldn't have too. I've used almost all different kinds of wifi apps like foxfi and others, but foxfi force closes, and all the others just don't work. I really need this feature to work! Any ideas?.....anybody?
Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Thanks guys
I KNEW i wasn't alone
The error i get on xbox is it cant obtain ip address
When i look under settings about phone ever since 4.2 it always says ip address unavailable.
I was hoping we could collaborate at least a workaround by "spoofing" an ip and then manually setting it on the xbox. Unless we can stumble across a true fix to why this has started happening
Thanks for the input, lets me know I'm not going completely insane yet hahah
Thats weird. I have used my phone to tether my tablet, PS3 and my work computer. Hearing people say it doesn't work for them is surprising. I'm running the CM10.1 nightlies and using the native wifi tethering.
EDIT: I just realized you guys were mainly talking about the Xbox. lol, oops
Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Yea that's the thing
I can tether to ANYTHING else just fine.
In fact i just tethered to my tablet and my computer.
The only thing that i get the Ip cant be obtained issue on is when trying Ti straight hotspot tether to the xbox itself.

You are not alone my friend. This is preventing me from updating. I'm following another thread where they found a fix for the Wi-Fi tether for root users to work properly on 4.2.2, but I have not received confirmation on if it also fixes and allows the Xbox to work again. I'm tempted to just try it myself and see what happens.... but haven't as of yet.

I decided it was time. I made a backup. Flashed BB8, and just to be sure, I tried the native tethering. Didn't work. Then I tried this apk the guy modified for WiFi tether for root users. I tried absolutely ever different combination possible in settings, and still the Xbox would not work.
This guy reprogrammed that app, so now I'm going to try getting ahold of him to see if he can specifically look into the Xbox issue. Who knows. Maybe he is a miracle worker.
For now, I'm already back to BB6 4.1.2.

So, since you are some what blowing my mind, I just want to be doubly sure here.
You are on that ROM, and you can activate the native tethering feature on your Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro), turn on your Xbox, connect it wirelessly to your phone, and successfully connect to Xbox live and play online?
That's all true and you aren't just messing with me?

I know this is probably not the section for this topic but there have been several posts on it with no definitive answers....I use FoxFi WiFi Tether on all my devices without a glitch, even the new Nexus 5, but not this phone " WHY ????? ", it doesn't make sense. With this device it shows a connection to the computer but it wont allow the internet connection....I can use the USB function of the FoxFi but have to install PDAnet to work. I know TrevE WiFi Tether app is installed with most Roms and works to a certain degree but not copletely with ZVC. From what I can deduce, it has something to do with the WPA (WPA2) settings for the phone. This is obviously a Dev issue so will someone with the know-how fix this problem for everyone....Personally, I will be happy to donate to someone to get it done.....so "Brains", get a project going on it and help us out....Thanks...

It may be something with your phone then if you cant get tether on any aosp rom. Did you use Freegee to flash recovery? I only ask because the newer aosp roms some require a special recovery for them to flash correctly but if you use Freegee either recovery works just fine.

I know this is an issue with the OG because its the only phone FoxFi does not work on.....and Ive tried 17 different phones, all the major brands and a couple china phones too. On my old S3, both FoxFi and TrevE worked fine...Is there a built in firewall in the WiFi system of this phone? Damn i wish I knew how to rewrite script...

Im kinda confused now because I've download torrents on my phone and my nexus 7 using utorrent and wifi tether, I just downloaded the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack on my nexus 7 so I know it works. I will try Foxfi and see what happens but I would guess Treve wifi would be the better option. Have you tried Treve wifi using the settings I mentioned above, I've been using treve wifi since evo3d days and never had a problem once I got it setup properly.
if we can get through entitlement checks for the tether all the others will work after that i bet. i suck at smali but there are lots of devs that done in here. any takers?

Yes, I've tried your settings. I have the DE v5 download....I'll install it again and try your settings on that Rom....do kernels have anything to do with the wifi stuff?
Thanks for continuing to try and help...

So basically you are saying it is possible to make the wifi tethering issues better for this device, just finding a Dev to work out the problems is the issue..
Like I've said before, I don't mind donating to that project if someone will step up to do it. I'm simple minded when it comes to stuff like that but would it not be possible to copy code from another LG device ( like the Nexus 5) that tether works well and just work it in?

i was looking at another source for the sprint gs4 it is missing all the entitlement smali code in services.jar so even if you delete the entitlement code you have to sift through the other files to delete any other code that defines the entitlement code. ill pull both of them up on a diff viewer.
and see how different they really are....

OK I thought you were trying to download on your phone. On your computer you have to make sure the correct ports are open. Im not sure but I think the ports that need to be open for torrents start around 6881 and if its not open the program will try to use the next available port that can be used for torrents. Vuze makes setup easy and is much faster than bittorrent or utorrent and its not constantly downloading background stuff like bittorrent and utorrent.
For whatever reason my wifi hotspot stopped working the other day, i thought it was the rom i was using so i tried a different one only thing i can think is to return to stock. i have tried the wifi router app as well and that's not working either. i can connect to the phone via different devices. but i cannot get out to the internet. my device can surf the web just fin though . if anyone has any ideas i'd appreciate it.

Same thing happened to me! I'm running a rooted stock ROM though, so I have no idea.
However, I did notice something odd.
If you use Wifi Tether Router, you can actually access anything Google related just fine. However, if you try to access anything else, it doesn't work. (At least for me)
You guys watching to much porn LOL. Use the mod for hotspot.

Nope can't do that because I'm still on the stock recovery, and I'd like to stay that way.
Anyway I've figured out the issue is that I can only access anything through HTTPS. If I don't use HTTPS, then the site won't work. This is something T-mobile is blocking. Is there any way around this?

Yes, you need an SSL VPN
