Wifi tether

Sorry if this has been asked but can anyone get the wifi tether apps to work? I've trieda couple and my laptop can't even see the connection. I'm on stock rooted.

did you check the development section. Hotspot hack was just posted...

Wireless tether for root users is working fine for me.

wifi tether 3.0 beta works for me. I am on zedomax kernel v3, though

Did you enable wifi encryption? While in the app, click on the MENU KEY>SETTINGS>and select ENABLE WIFI ENCRYPTION...by default, the key is "abcdefghijklm" but you can set it to any 13 character string...I'd recommend just using the default 1st

Looking online it looks like I need a supported kernal, stock won't do it. I'll have to do some flashing tonight. Thanks

I'm running it right now from my iPad. It's v3 beta 6. Running on stock rom with stock eg30plus kernel. Pm me if you want to try this one. No configuration needed just make sure you are rooted and it works fine on 3G and 4g

Did you try enabling wifi encryption? I use it at work everyday when I set up the VPN client on users laptops. You can't hit the VPN gateway from w/in the network, so I use the wifi tether app to login from outside the firewall and it works great!

The wifi hack is nice since it is the stock wifi tether app being used.

I like it that way better so I can use my control widget to turn it on and off from my home screen.

try and see if a different wifi device sees it, id bet its a laptop wifi issue and not your phone..just check with anything wifi

I tried this version and it works! Thanks. I didn't need to enable encryption for it to work. Under Device-Profile I left it on auto.

sweet! 10char

Capped at .4 kbps
I thought I fixed the issue but it's back to being really slow on 4g and 3g. Tried factory reset and that didn't help. If anyone has an idea or suggestion I'd appreciate it. I'm running stock rooted kernel.

What is the need for a tethering app when there's an option to tether under settings?

Do we know if the Sprint Hotspot hack tethers 4G?

That's it? Just so you dont have to use a usb? When you use a app instead of the option in settings does that use our unlmited data or will it be capped?

It does not because the person(Necrosan) that is being given credit for the 3g hack states in his thread since he does not have 4g in his area to do testing. You can go on his thread and see if you can be a tester so that we may be able to get the hack going. But for now you would need a third party app to use 4g tethering unfortunately

[Q] Tethering Hotspot

Anybody using AOKP made the Wifi Hotspot to work?
I don't see any error when I enable it, but cannot find the hotspot from my tablet or PC.
Thank you

If you are using a secured connection it won't work. Only open connections work for WiFi tethering.

I'm starting to think the issue is with the ROM. I cannot post the question on the ROM thread because I have less that 10 posts.
I'm using AOKP d2att(4.2.1) Biuld 1.13.2013

You should search the AOKP thread to see what people are reporting. I remember some people saying it had to be set on WAP2 but a search will get you more info.

i just checked Q&A on the aokp thread and it is stated as a known bug ,, wifi tethering is not working , it says bluetooth tethering is working so I guess if we want to use tasks's rom we have to live with that. ,, who know's , maybe there will be a fix in future builds .
Awsome rom none the less!!!!!

Wifi tether not working, how to fix?

First of all I have a Galaxy s2 t989 with tmobile service.
I am on stock jellybean 4.1.2 and rooted.
Please show me how to fix wifi tether. I downloaded the app wifi tether for root users and its not working. Thank you!

When you say not working, you mean you cant connect other devices while tethering is on?

Quick question are any of you trying the native hotspot (settings--->hotspot) because treve Mod doesn't work on 4.3
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

As already mentioned, TrevE wifi tether does not work on 4.3. In order to get native hot spot working you'll need to first flash the wifi fix via Odin on your pc only. You have to unzip the wifi fix zip file first then flash it using the pda button in odin. All this info is in LorJay's thread.
required for hot spot hack to work: rooted, deodexed, flash wifi fix using odin on pc, flash hotspot hack, success

ROOT Looking for wifi hotspot app for root

I had a galaxy s3 a while ago also rooted where i had used pdanet+ to create a hotspot without paying an arm and a leg to my carrier for the option. It had worked. Now that i have the g4 i want to do the same. when i try to use any app that says root wifi hotspot or whatever, they dont actually ask for root access nor do they work as intended. I was wondering if there was any other apps out there (for free this is the point) that i could use... Or if theres a method im neglecting to use to get this working.

Treve Mod WiFi tether. It isn't on the play store. You'll need to download the apk online.

Which did you use? I found one from 2013 on google code, but it's not working correctly and throws a lot of errors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3Di9d7w1so this works for me, no root needed. even though it says it needs to be.

It depends on what device ure using. Fool around with the settings, there's lots of options.

I have a unrooted H815 on Cricket and I can confirm that the wifi hotspot on the phone works, accessible via the toggle switch in Settings. No use for it, but good to know it's there.

This worked for me as well. The LTE connection will reset/refresh, and it instantly started working. I am running rooted stock 5.1 (ZV5) on Sprint.
