I have been having issues with the wifi tethering on 4g, I don't seem to get the same speed that my phone is displaying, it's usually about 1.5-2.0mb slower on the tethered device(mainly iPad). A good amount of time the 4g doesn't really work on tether and turns off to go to 3G. is there something I'm missing?
have you tried this?

Thanks for the reply. I did try that method and still not working. The Internet is running very slow or not at all on the tethered device. On the phone though seems to be working fine.

the wired tether by the same people doesn't work now i get unsupported kernel
Hello, I'm new hear but im coming from IPHONE and just love the evo 4g, I rooted my evo and it seems to be working and everthing.. but i can't get sprint wifi hotspot working for some reason, it would help if someone could help me in the right direction..
Thank YOU... I'm using ava_froyo_v5
Don't hate me for using this one..
One quick note when i start sprint wifi hotspot it says user id and pass dosen't match.. do i need to use a different program or what..
I'm currently on Fresh 1.0.1 but I've tried Fresh 3.1.0.1 and Cyanmod6 RC-1 with and without nightly updates.
I've tried various combination of kernels too. That said, I've been unable to get wifi tethering to work 100% on any of them as well as wired.
1.0.1 was the only one I could constantly get EVERYTHING working on so I went back.
Not that this post really helps, just saying.
You have to pay to use sprints tether app.
Go use android wireless tether from the market.

Amazing Program https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTYwNzM2ODk
I'm using a rooted copy of 3.70 ROM and am stumped as to how to get tethering working right. It will work, slowly, with 4G but when connected with 3G it will not allow internet access. Does anyone know what I am missing or maybe point me in the right direction? The only fix I could find was downgrading back to 2.29 and with an older kernel. :\
I've tried older version of wireless tether, barnacle, etc, all with the same results.
Bump......
So no one on this site knows what is needed for tethering to work properly?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Hey haus. 3G is working for me. I tether with both often.
Seeing as you tried with older versions, maybe it could be the kernel you are using.
What kernel/rom are you using? I'll try to see if I can replicate the results.
Also as I'm sure you know, texts/phone will disrupt 3G so if you get a text in the middle of your tether, it will disable 3G.
Well I just found something very interesting...
I tethered today and found my connection to be extremely slow for some reason (3G). I went to speedtest.net and it said the closest test server to me was in the UK....
I'm not sure why it's doing that considering I'm in NY but thats rather fishy. I'll do some more testing and let you know.
BTW I'm using the stock #15 kernel and Myn's Warm 2.2

This happens to me all the time in Cincinnati, OH on 4G. It thinks I am in Whales or some random place. I get good speed results but it is weird.
As for the OP, wireless tether doesn't work well in all roms. There are even some roms where it doesn't work with 4G at all...

Almost all the ROMs I have flashed had wireless tether working for both 3G and 4G. It just took a bit to find the right build version to use lol. Pain in the ass I swear. -.-

Well I was more thinking of the CM6 w/ WiMax. I still don't think it supports tether on 4G.

I used the alpha 2 for quite a while (upgraded to the CM7 WiMAX one today) and I used the pre9 version of wireless tether on both 3G and 4G all the time without problems.

Well CM6 had no 4G for a bit. The Alpha for WIMAX for CM just came out and thats still in its infancy so I doubt tethering works at all let alone for 4G. Not too sure on this since I don't flash CM cause I use 4G a lot.
Edit: I stand corrected. lol Maybe I'll try CM.
I have similar problem as the OP of this thread. I am using MikFroyo 4.5 with netarchy 4.3.2 cfs_SBC_Havs_more kernel, wireless tethering works fine in 4G but with 3G, my laptop connects to the EVO but there is no Internet access. It seem as if either the EVO is forwarding the traffic or the DNS on EVO is not resolving names.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks
I've had problems with wireless tether lately, but I started using the wireless hotspot that comes included in my rom. Currently using CM7 Nightlies and CM7 with WiMax.
I've read a couple of people say they can connect to the internet for a couple of seconds and then there's no/limited access. Has anyone figured how to get by this? My hacked hotspot works, but I've tethered 4g on 4.4, and I prefer the wireless tether app.
Try different builds.
Try a different build of the app, an earlier one. Also, the laptop normally goes through the "limited access/no connection" for about a minute cuz it has to connect, but then it works fine.
Yeah, I actually went back to 4.4 after getting mad that my app wasn't working, I should've mentioned that I tried previous builds of the app, but it was a no go. I like 4.5 over 4.4 since it's faster and the 4g connections are better, but if I can't wifi it...well it defeats the purpose. I rather be on 4.5, so does anyone have a fix?

i would address this in Mik's thread.
I was able to get wired, wireless, and the wireless hot spot (sprint) working on Mik v4.5, but only in 4G. I couldn't get any working while on 3G. I used the latest version of each. I didn't do anything special to get them to work. But because I wasn't able to get 3G working this weekend I backed it out.
No flashing new ROMs for me for a couple weeks, on call .
HTC Evo
Rooted, but still stock...for now
----------------------------------------
The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.

Hey guys I am having problems with the wifi hotspot on my Nexus with my Mac. It will connect fine but after about 5 min the internet will cut out but still remain connected. Have no problems with my iPhone 4 from work so it is something to do with the phone. Any ideas on how to fix it? Very frustrating.

Are you on 4.0.1? I heard that .1 has some kind of issues with tethering taht were solved in newer builds. Did you try to tether to some other computer?
Yeah I am on 4.0.1. Have not tried other computer. Have found turning location services off fixes the problem. Is it hard to flash to yakju build so I can get 4.0.2? Is there any way to do this to void my warranty?

IMHO this whole yakju-better-than-yakjusomething is over hyped. There were threads where yakjusomething builds got updates, and yakju didn't. I wouldn't bother my self to wipe phone and flash other builds If I were you, well I'm not going to do that since I have yakjuxw or something similar It's still a Nexus, you WILL get any update as soon as it will be possible! Earlier I had Nexus S i9023 with SLCD screen (I loved that screen BTW) and I was getting updates couple of weeks after Android sites started to write about them. It looks like Google disabled updates after battery complains from users. For some time now I haven't heard about anyone getting .3 or .2 update to any SGN. Just my thoughts, sorry for little OT
Thanks again for the reply. Yeah I might just leave it as it is until I get the update. Turning location services off doesn't seem to fix the problem it is still disconnecting. Will just use my iPhone 4 for now :-(
Have now also found that I can not connect the nexus through bluetooth either. The Mac won't even recognise it. Any way around this? Grrrr

I will try to report back my findings

Thanks mate . Bluetooth is working ok now. Have found an app called wifi hotspot which seems to be holding the connection.
im also having the exact same issue. i'm on att. running an AOSP custom 4.0.3 Rom. I tried using att's tether apn and it keeps reverting back to Cingular 410, however i dont believe this is the issue, i think its related to the OS itself. is it Mac related? i have no other computers to test it with :-/
Maybe this: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/1Yy1jb9z4TA will help? In the post there is a zip for mac
Hey mate thanks for the link unfortunately it doesn't make a difference and for some reason the net won't work on wifi hotspot at all now. It connects but that is it :-(.
I didn't have time to really look into it, but I have some idea. Can you try how will it work when you disable security in settings? I mean make it an open network for, a second and try some browsing
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
that seemed to work on my nexus one and iphone 4 when i tethered. tried it with my gnex, same results, still showing connected, but no internet access after 5-15 min. i checked the status log of wifi tether for android, as it was doing the same thing with this app, and the it showed the wifi interface disconnecting by itself, i didn't do anything. Definitely OS related. Interestingly enough, this has happened both on the stock kernel and this franco 9.2 i'm running right now. Likewise with stock rom and this my current rom. so who knows.....very annoying though. :-/
Ok, with the network open on the Nexus the connection is fine on my Mac. As soon as I enable security though I have problems. Thanks heaps for the help so far but is there any solution available for this? Not real keen on leaving my connection open.
Sorry to bump. I'm having this issue as well. Verizon Galaxy Nexus on 4.0.2. My MacBook Pro connects to the hotspot fine and works for a bit, but then stops working. I can run network diagnostics to make it work again, but I have to keep doing that every 5-10 minutes or so and it makes it too annoying to use.
My iPad 2, iPhone 4, TouchPad, and mom's Windows laptop works just fine and never have these issues. It's only my MacBook. Anybody find a solution yet?
Exactly the same problem here.. Galaxy Nexus tethered wifi macbook pro running 10.7.2. Stays connected, but stopps passing any packets. Ipad, and other devices are still connected working properly, and the phone itself can use the LTE data connection. I've tried stock 4.0.2, as well as AOKP 4.0.3 latest build.. no luck. I've also tried both the native AP and android-wifi-tether too. Any help would be appreciated and rewarded.
---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------
PS - I even have the tethering option enabled on my Verizon account... (in case you were thinking it had something to do with big red blocking data)
I am still suffering this problem too. :-(. It is a real issue when I work outside the office a lot and do not have any problems with my work Iphone 4. I found pdanet works connected by USB but you can not access secure sites on the free version. Is there good alternative to pdanet?
hey guys. i now use an open network when i tether. it seems to keep a stable internet connection (packets transferring). the longest i've maintained a working tethering connection has been 2 hours....so it seemed good enough for me. Let me know how u guys fair if u do try an open network. still a weird issue imo that doesn't have too many solutions or even suggestions in the xda community (probably cause not many are tethering?). gl.
Hey, when I put my phone to an open connection mine is stable too. Must be something to do with the security. Wish there was a solution, I can't keep mine open the whole time :-(.
Anyone found a fix for this yet? Just about to return mine, tired of it not working. Have updated to 4.02 and my Mac to 10.7.3
Hello! So I have some questions. All help is greeeeatly appreciated.
I installed CM10. Wifi Tether wouldn't work. Log would say Fail when trying to set adhoc. Barnacle wouldn't even detect that I was rooted. Super User wouldn't pop up for it. The native tethering would turn on but devices couldn't connect. The one time my laptop did connect it was with limited connectivity.
So I decided to go back to FC09 2.3.6. Wifi tether... works. But it's crazy slow. Ping stays around 150-175 which is ok, but the speeds. I'm updating Guild Wars 2 and I see the speed hover around 1KB/s to 5KB/s and then it'll jump up to 30KB/s and back down. And then it'll peak around 80KB/s and drop back down. Is this supposed to happen?
I came from an EVO 3D and it's speed was very consistent so I've gotten used to that, but I broke it. Plus the Epic 4g has much better development, even now. And the speeds seem consistent on the Epic 4g itself as well, just not when tethering.
Also... if there's any ideas on how to get it functioning properly on CM10 I'd realllllllly love that. Thank you!!!
