I tried sending files between 2 galaxy nexus since Bluetooth is completely broken, I activated Wi-Fi in both devices but when I try to share an image wifi doesn't show up in the sharing options, gas anyone here used successfully?

Sadly from what I've read we can't utilize it within the built in settings it requires an app to work. What app is the question as well as why? really wish it would work.

On my Sprint Galaxy Nexus when I first got it the stock wifi tethering setting worked on my stock ICS. Later on I found that it just doesn't work anymore. It will activate and appear to be working and let my laptop connect but the 3G will go away like they have some kind of built in checker.
I did some research and found out that they might have a checking system set up. Well I found out you can still use apps like Foxfi which is great but I was just wondering if there was a stock work around.
They even blocked Foxfi from the market place but you can go to there main site and download it from there.
I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and what kind of solutions do they use.
Right now I am using Foxfi which works perfect but I read that you can use a widget like switch pro and create a toggle to switch the portable wifi hot spot without it going through the check.
I do not want to use USB only prefer hot spot.
So please let me know all of your guys types of solutions.

Well obviously the wifi tether built in is something your supposed to pay for. For stock no, there are no mods.

I thought it was just weird because it worked at first but now it doesn't the stock version. Maybe because my phone was just still getting set up. Foxfi works for me great because I like to have hot spot but I hear PDA Net still works as well for USB Tethering.

Does your Sprint tether work or do you have to use FoxFi?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
Just root it and tether it up

It probably worked because they hadn't yet blocked it for you. Then you tried to use it and they did block it.

Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658288
I unlocked the bootloader, booted to TWRP Recovery without flashing it and flashed the tether zip. Keeps your phone stock and unlocks the built in tether. You don't even have to root.
What program do you use to unlock the boot loader or flash the roms?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
How in the world did you boot into TWRP without flashing it? That might not be rooted but seems like you have to flash a rom.

Do what everyone else does....
Root it (you really need to to install any decent app).
Install wireless tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Always install the newest one posted (yes it's beta, but it's rock solid stable).
Which program do you use to flash things? Qdl tool or is that old school? I know there is a power house program for the Nexus but I forgot what it is its on my home computer am I out of town.
So you are saying you have to at least flash the recovery but not the from so its still a little more than FoxFi.
What's a quick step by step process because its been a while since I have flashed things. I use to flash my dell streak all the time until I got my Nexus which I love.
Why did you decide to flash? Is not FoxFi good enough and simple enough?

What other programs do you really need to install besides the tethering app?

You just have to be rooted and then install wireless tether.
It will prompt you to allow super user access on first start, allow it and tick the "always allow this action" box.
It's bomb proof....been using it for years on numerous different phones....and numerous different carriers (sprint included).
clockworkmod tether is another no root required tether app.

I use Chrome browser on my laptop, and change the user agent to the same as the phone (there's a Chrome app). No problems tethering...
Is that USB or Hot Spot?

Looks like FoxFi is still the easiest solution.

You can root your phone and then install wifi tether. Thus is what I did...

For some reason on GB I am unable to download roms on my phone but I can have a functioning tether. But on ics its the total opposite. I have no Internet at home due to lack of funds but my girlfriend want to do her usual Facebook browsing on the computer.
Is there any wifi tether apps that you would suggest or is there an ics rom that I may have overlooked that has it working?

search the market wireless thether u need root
Sprint Hotspot works flawlessly on the Blu Kuban ICS rom. Haven't had it working on any others yet.
Seems to me the answer is to fix your gb roms. My issue with downloads on gb roms has been one of two things ; need to download "download all" app from market or move/delete files from download folder to make room.

On ics there is wifi tether for root users, get from market. Just set device to galaxy nexus cdma and it works great for 4g tether.
On gb foxfi works well

Blu Kuban has great wifi tethering
Hey guys, I tried to use the built in hotspot app on my sprint gnex running 4.1 rujellying m1 and the computer detects Android AP but doesnt connect.
I installed wifi tether from the playstore and chose samsung galaxy nexus CDMA/LTE in the settings and my computer wont even detect its SSID.
Anything I'm doing wrong?
Tried an older version of wifi tether and still cant detect it with my computer or ipad.

I haven't needed to install any other apps. I just set it up for wifi hot spot, check the specs on the password and then just connect with another device. In my case, a Nook Color running an unlocked version of Gingerbread. Works fine.
Edit: Oh wait, you have a CDMA phone? Your carrier may have installed software to prevent this.
Yeah, but I'm on a custom Rom and trying everything and cant tether. I did everything as specified in qbking's youtube video guide and it refuses to work.

Does anyone know if the File Sharing app included is compatible with any other phones, or just LGOG?
Has anyone tested android beam as well? Its not working for me when trying to send to my Galaxy nexus. I can receive just fine though.
Lastly, has anyone tried it the WiFi direct apps on Google play? The couple I have tried don't work for me either.
Thanks in advance.

Actually quick update I guess restarting my NFC fixed Android beam, but still no word on WiFi direct.

Hey there,
is there a way to connect to an ad-hoc network using the Galaxy Nexus whith JB 4.2.1?
I know that Google does not support it but I also know there is way to modify the wpa_supplicant file (which I can't).
I found different modified wpa_supplicant files for other devices but none for the Galaxy Nexus.
I searched this forum and yes, I also used Google but I did not get a working solution.
I know it is the 10000th thread about it but any skilled programmer must have found a solution.
Thanks in advance!

Google it/ try a WiFi app from Play.
