plz let me know if you find one that works. thats the only thing that stoping me from making it my daily rom
you can confirm that bluetooth tether works?
I cant find one as of rate now
I can confirm that the Wireless Tether for Root Users app does work. Version 3.1 beta 11. Under Settings > Device Profile, use Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE). I was however unsuccessful in getting this to work using Wifi encryption(password), but it does work with User Access Control.

Hello, I've been trying to figure out how would I get wifi tethering to work on Paranoid Android. I've been searching now and I found a thread to download it and such. I read the changelog and I noticed this above v1.2
"-Wifi Tethering doesnt works, but USB/Bluetooth works fine"
Has this been fixed on the newest version? I really want to download Paranoid Android on my phone but one of the things that I NEED are USB and Wifi Tethering, because USB and Wifi Tethering are the only ways I can access the internet on my PC/Game Systems/etc... This ROM seems so cool too, but I can't download it if Wifi tethering won't work.
Oh, and if you want to know what phone I have in case of any reason, I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro).
Thanks.

I'm running PA on my GNexus and wifi tether works flawlessly, I've not tried USB tether but the option is there and I've no reason to suspect it won't work.
PA is a great ROM, make a nandroid and flash it, you have nothing to lose. :good:

be4con, how would I be able to use wifi tethering? Would Wifi Tether for Root users work? (This one. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) I've tried using it but it doesn't seem to work, is there another way I can tether via Wifi?

You don't need a third party app, I'm just using the built in JB wifi tethering.

How do I do that? I don't know how to do it? Will verizon charge me and give me a 2GB cap? I'm used to using that app, so I don't know how to tether via wifi. >.<

So, I just go on settings and use the systems wifi tethering? Will verizon notice I'm doing that and charge me for that? Thats my only problem too, the third party app that I use doesn't charge me or anything. So, won't using the normal tether on the settings menu (while on Paranoid Android) cause verizon to charge me for that feature? Please answer ASAP.
Whilst I was on stock I tried and failed to use the 3rd party app I had prev used on GB to tether so I think it is a JB issue rather than a PA one.
Regardless of how you tether you will use data and incur data charges from Verizon. That may or may not be against your contract rules. Your 3rd party app was still using data which Verizon will have been charging you for.
To tether on JB you go to settings > wireless and networks > more... > tethering and portable hotspot.

What I ment was Verizon has a extra service for making a wifi hotspot, that you'd have to pay monthly. So it sucks actually, I don't want to be paying for two services. The third party app actually bypasses it or something, because it works fine without Verizon noticing. But, again, I don't want to be paying for two services.
I can't really answer that question then, though I don't see how the JB tethering will work any differently to the 3rd party app in that respect.
Maybe someone on Verizon will be able to confirm, or you could just try it and see.

This issue probably requires Developer actions to be solved … anyway I’m posting on General section cause it’s not a properly developer thread …
Since Android 4.1.2 there’s a problem in tethering for all people that has a carrier plan that doesn’t include Tethering. I’m on Vodafone Italy with “mobile internet” plan (2GB/month). I have never had problem with tethering my data connection from my phone to a laptop or tablet but starting from Android 4.1.2 upgrade I noticed that when I activate built in wifi hotspot the APN is automatically and secretly changed from the default one (mobile.vodafone.it) to a new one (web.omnitel.it) that charges my bill with additional costs … It happened to me in the past using branded phone with branded firmware, but after rooting and switching to CyanogeMod firmware the problem was solved … now I’m on an unlocked Galaxy Nexus with CM or others custom ROM …
On 4.1.2 I bypassed this problem using dedicated app “Wifi Tether for Root”, but now on 4.2.1 also this app doesn’t work anymore (ok this is another issue, here you can find more details).
Well … rather bad … I did a lot of research on the web, and here is the most interesting thing I found:
A person working for Roger carrier stated this (see original thread and full post here ):
Android 4.1.2 introduced that ability (and requirement) for Android devices to properly flag when data is for tethering purposes. This is the first time this has been used in a vanilla release of Android.
...
For everyone frustrated by this update to Android: Android respecting a carrier's request to know if data is for a tethered device IS NOT A BUG. IT IS A FEATURE. It's not a feature for users like you and me, it's a feature for manufacturers like Samsung and HTC, so they can in turn build devices that carriers can have more control over.
So, to be clear, THIS IS NOT A BUG. Google INTENDED to respect carrier tethering rules.

So, can someone confirm this behavior? Is there some Developer that can intercept the section of Android OS code that apply this flag to the data download and find the way to avoid this annoying issue??
I want to tether again without pay additional money! I’m paying for 2GB/month! What do you care, Vodafone, how I use it??
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: SOLVED!
After some time someone found a solution, at least for all users with ROOT:
Here is the solution script
Here is a method to setup the script on boot
.
I don't know, AT&T doesn't do this for me.
Can you manually change the APN when the hotspot is turned on?
Hm, never had this happen when I tether my N7 to my GNex, and i'm on a prepaid-card (where something like this would be more likely to occur than on a contract).
Re: [ISSUE] “Free” Wifi Tether forbidden since Android 4.1.2
I have Verizon and I don't have a tethering plan. I'm on 4.2.1 and I've been able to use the built in tether.

I can't edit the APN cause I can't see it! After few minutes I'm tethering I get an SMS from Vodafone that says: we remember you that your plan doesn't include data connection using APN web.omnitel.it ... And then if I check my bill detail I can verify a row reporting connection with this APN and additional amount and connection time

Same story for me.
Install Chrome or Firefox on your PC, download the User Agent Switcher add-on for it. and change your user agent to googlebot or ipad. That's what I do to bypass Tmobile.

I'm on Verizon and running 4.2.1. I tried to tether to a tablet the other day using Open Garden, WiFi Tether for Root, and Barnacle and I kept getting errors on each app and then they'd FC.

Have you tried also the built in tether?
About "Wifi Tether for Root" on Android 4.2 according to some post on the discussion I lnked in the OP:
The application will attempt to mount the file system /system write (rw) to copy the binary file but with Android 4.2 does not work anymore the command "mount -o remount, rw / system"

Does the built in tether report to Verizon? I'm not trying to get hit with any more fees than they already charge.
Re: [ISSUE] “Free” Wifi Tether forbidden since Android 4.1.2
I thought the FCC already ruled that Verizon cannot charge extra for tethering (unless you go over your data limit of course).

Can you tell me how you are doing this please? Is root required on your Gnex? The fact that you are on 4.2.1 may answer that question. My non-rooted gnex is only on 4.1.1 and doesn't seem to have an update available.

I don't pay for tethering on my T-mobile US plan but tethering never stopped working since 4.0 versions all the way now to 4.2.1 takju.
I have a pre-pay plan, so the carrier is not able to charge me anything extra, all they could do is shut off my data plan or tethering, which they never did.
Edit: I'm not rooted in version 4.2.1. I was rooted in some of the previous versions, but can't remember which ones.

Ciao Furius!
I think I'm in the same situation as you with Vodafone Italy :silly:
I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1 (so Android 4.1.2) with a Samsung Galaxy S2 and can't get the wi-fi thetering work: all seems ok, other devices can see and connect to the hot-spot, but can't get any data from it...
I thought it was some problems with the nightly builds of CM, but other people are reporting that wi-fi tethering is correctly working.
Now I read your message while searching some information about the Galaxy Nexus (my Galaxy S2 developed a faulty loudspeaker, and I'm considering to get it repaired under warranty then sell it and buy a Galaxy Nexus, I've found it at 269€) and maybe we have the same problem, but I've got Vodafone to lock the web.omnitel.it APN, to prevent costly surprises...
I think problems arise with operators that make distinctions between different kinds of APN (like Vodafone Italy with web.omnitel.it and mobile.vodafone.it) and not with the ones that don't care about the APN you use (to my knowledge, TIM Italy doesn't care about the APN you use)
I'll keep an eye on this topic and let you know if I find some news!

With Vodafone Italy, even if you force the "mobile.vodafone.it" APN, the one for the mobile phone navigation, you will be charged for tethering, using the 4.2.1 native tethering.
See this post for more detail.
BTW, we have to find where google added the "flagging" feature, in the native tethering application.
Do someone have any idea where to find it?

OK ...
It seems that we ( Italian Vodafone users) are the only "sfigati" affected by this issue! Really sad ...

Pardon if it's been addressed already. Searched with no results.
Any wi-fi tethering fix available? Can't seem to get it going on this or CM10.1. Think I might have to reflash an older version. Tethering is crucial at work.
Simple search in either the CM10.1 thread or the AOKP thread you'd see its currently not working..

There are some ROMs that have the patch in place
Me, I use a Jellybean based ROM and just use the bluetooth tether [as it uses less battery]
open settings on phone and tablet or bluetooth device [get USB adapter if laptop doesn't already have it]
pair the devices
tap the more button in settings on phone tap tethering tap the checkbox for bluetooth tether
WiFi Specific
Install a Jellybean based ROM visit settings [I enjoy ParanoidAndroid] more> tethering and hotspot>Wi-Fi tether.
If need look in market for FoxFi it is free and does WiFi tethering via an app if you prefer that.
Carrier: Sprint
phone: Samsung Nexus 1.3, My nexus has received the 4.2 update and I cant use my wifi tether to hotspot. I won't stay checked in settings. Does anyone know if there is a to cure for that?
I have rooted my unit already. I have uninstalled wifi tether and reinstalled it.no go still

you either need the customized version of wifi tether or you need to use the built-in tether tool. customized version is kicking around here on the forums, I think I found it over in the CM.1 Nightlies thread myself.
I'm using "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin (4.2.2 | Verizon).
The app does not provide hotspot functionality per se. It is a widget to toggle the built-in hotspot on and off. It bypasses the annoying carrier check that checks if you have a tether plan or not.
Great for those of us who are still enjoying grandfathered unlimited data.
The app also does not require root.

my carrier-sprint --must have a hook in their version of JB 4.2.1........I am wanting to enjoy my unlimited also like before the individual charges and money came into play... I use to use my G1(HTC Dream) and other Android phones to access the net for what I needed back in the dayzz...I know its possible. I just need the guidance
If someone is interested, here is the solution for using the USB tethering on Mac (instead of using the WiFi hotspot)

K.... I finally figured it out. I thank you guys for your input. I got Sourcery 5.1 installed and I got my hotspot working with no flaws...my next involved mod is gonna be on a Alps Mid 7 dual sim card unit running 4.04-GSM/FM Transceiver... Im thinking active frequency jumping is what I want my radio to do.. This is the place for it to be done. Ideas ROMs and kernels will be appreciated
