[Q] Tethering

I am running rooted stock 4.0.4 IMM76K with FC04/FC05 radios on a Verizon Nexus. I can not get the stock tethering or wifi tether to work. Both turn on without errors but none of my computers see the signal. I have always used wifi tether on other phones and not seen an issue. I have searched around but I can't seem to find anyone with my issues. Any suggestions?

I would try using an app like foxfi or pdanet. Both work well for wifi tethering. Also, both have the ability to hide tethering usage. You may have to sideload these apps, i believe Verizon wont let you get to them anymore. Also, I would no blow through my data allowence if I were you. This might cause them to get look a little more carefully at your data usage.

Try tetherbee.
It worked for me.
U must search online for it though.

Verizon still allows my mom to tether for free.
Even she'll get in trouble if she gets caught.

Would this be a rom or kernel issue? It doesn't seem to be a application issue? Many others have used both the options I have tried already without issues on the Nexus

AOKP unlocks and bypasses the tether message/error.

It's the stock rom issue it is disabled from what I was told.. I use aokp 39 using the built in tether and it works great

You need to set Wifi tether settings as follows:
Device Profile - Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)
Setup Method - Netd (master)
Routing Fix - make sure its checked.
Hope this helps

I forgot to mention that I installed a rom mod to enable native tethering.

I made a blunder. Apparently wifi tether didn't like the space I put in the SSID name.

WiFi Tethering not working on ParanoidAndroid 1.9a

Hello everyone, I recently joined this forum, as you can probably tell...:silly: Anyways, I recently installed ParanoidAndroid 1.9a for my phone. The minute I picked it up I fell in love with it. However, before I completely switched to PA, I checked some of the apps I would use the most. PDAnet was one of those few. I tried using the android wifi tether app. Though it would not work, I would check to see if there was a log to see if there were any errors, but when I go to check it, I get an error saying that there is no log. I need to use those two apps, because they are the only way I can access the internet through my PC. So before I switch to PA, is there a way I can get the Wifi Tether app working? Thanks.

I've been checking around the tether app some more, though I haven't found a fix. I tried the Routing Fix, though that doesn't work. I've tried messing with the settings though I still can't get it to work. Maybe the Wifi Tethering app won't work with ParanoidAndroid? I really want to keep PA, but if I can't use the Wifi tethering app, then I can't keep it, as tethering via Wifi or USB are the only ways I can access the internet through my PC.

No one has an answer? D:

Oh, okay then, I'll have to find an alternative to use or just keep it...I dunno, I really need the wifi tethering, but I want to keep PA....Gotta think about this...Thanks though!

Sprint hotpsot free on blazer rom?

So wifi tether isnt working for me and i went to the toggle for blazer 1.7 and pressed hotspot and it took me to the sprint hotspot, just wanted to know if i will be charged? shouldnt it of come with a " check to agree to terms" or something? or is the sprint hotspot hacked for blazer 1.7 ics domination?

you won't be charged.word on the street is if you just got the phone it will work for you for a while.then it will stop. they will not just add tha charge on. instead you will get a failure message. It will say something like registration error give it some time. unless of course they found a hack and included it w/ blazer but as far as I know they have not found a hotspot hack yet

isnt thier a hack though?

I assume your using this?
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
If so make sure device profile is samsung galaxy nexus CDMA or gsm dont matter.
No encryption. And uncheck the box at the bottom that says disable wake lock. Should work for ya

I was using wifi tether on my gs3 and had little luck getting it to work well. I'm on Blazer 1.6 currently.
Even foxfi wouldn't work.
The stock app worked for a few days, but Sprint gives it to you for free to get you to like it, then turns it off.
But today I searched for wifi tether in the play store (eventhough it was already installed on my phone) and noticed there was an available update. I updated and now there is an option for galaxy s3 in the device profile. It wouldn't work until I checked the box that says "wifi driver reload". Now it is finally working as well as it did on my evo 4g!

CM10 appears to be the only rom that actually solves the problem by unlocking the native sprint hotspot app.. all other roms still require a third party app and/or work around.

Yeah, tft is right. I'm on Blazer 1.7 and have to use an app called WiFi Tether but works fine.
See qbking66's videos on YouTube on how to do it, think that's where I found out how to do it.

There's a new version 3.2 beta 1 with Galaxy S3 Support. I also select Routing Fix(dont know what it is but works).

[Q] WiFi Tether Settings Help

So I know there are quite a few threads out there about wifi tether. The general concensus is that WiFi Tether is the best app to use, however I've found that very particular settings are needed to get this to work. While I am not a dev and have not had sucess in getting this app to work on our phone. I thought I would start a thread for those who have had success using the application in hopes that they could share their settings with the rest of us so we can take advantage of 4g as it continues to roll out. I have also tried Barnacle and not had any success either.
I found this on another thread, it was a couple pages deep so I'm reposting here, please swing over to other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138144&highlight=wifi+tether&page=2 #13 and give jdock a thanks for his fix. This works, but there is currently a bug in JB that only allows one tether session per boot. Once you disable wifi tether, it will not work again until you reboot the device
TY jdock
Try this:
device profile = generic ics/jb (wlan0)
setup method = netd-ndc (master)
wifi driver reload = checked
enable wifi encryption = unchecked (you can enable it later when it's working unencrypted)
enable access-control = unchecked (you can enable it later when the basics are working)
Now, when I first started with this app, my devices would connect to the AP but then give up because they couldn't get a dhcp address. I found that if I went into the 'change lan' menu and picked a different lan, that it started working (I currently use 10.10.3.0/24).
If you can't get it working, I came up with another method you may be able to use that does not use any app (I have the at&t model but it's probably the same). Basically you turn off wifi, then run a few commands (as root) that bring the wifi interface back up without disabling mobile data. It will connect to your local wireless lan as if you had enabled wifi. Then you can run a socks or http proxy and point your other device at it (easy if you're wanting to tether a pc, maybe not so easy if you're using something else). I haven't tried yet to see if it will route between the networks, which would mean you can just manually change your default gateway to your phone's wlan address and have all traffic go through it.

I hope you get some answers. I haven't been able to get this app to work on by GNex on JB 4.2.1 OR 4.2.2 using 4 different ROMs. The app doesn't seem to have been updated in many months, and I'm assuming that it won't work on JB in any form.

I'm on a JB rom now, and it does work. See the directions I posted from another thread in the OP and wifi tether will work. However, once you turn off wifi tether you will need to reboot the phone for wifi and data to function normally.

Even when Wi-Fi tether runs "with errors" it still works... for some reason my phone doesn't heat up as much when I run with errors -- probably had something to do with the Wi-Fi driver that the app reloads.

My wifi tether setup has no issues with data not working and I can turn it off and on without problems. I've used the phone for calls, texts, and internet after using wifi tether. The only issue is that you cannot turn wifi on after running tether. Once rebooted wifi will turn back on until I use tether again. I'm on a stock rooted JB rom.
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd ndc master
Send Netd max client cmd checked
wifidriver reload checked
Router fix checked
Wifi fix checked
I have access control checked as well but that doesn't matter.

I've yet to be able to get this app working. I've tried these setting before and several other settings to no avail. When I try these, everything but the first item in the log and the last two say they failed. Now it does broadcast it's SSID and I can join the network, but there is no data connection.
I'm on stock Jelly Bean rom. The funny thing is, I used Wifi tether app on Lifeless and Imperium and it worked with a few different settings.

Check your version. I use WIFI Tether TrevE Mod.
Mine version is 3.2-beta2-modv5 ***synergized***
I had similar issues until I found the right version to use. I never got regular Wifi Tether to work.

By Changing some settings I can get everthing to work EXCEPT for the Nat Rules, that fails still. If someone can tell me how to fix that perhaps I can get this to work. Seems though the Nat Rules keeps my laptop from detecting the new network I made.

Glad to see other people are able to contribute. I'm not a developer so not much I can do except dig around other forums and see what helps. I'm using Imperium Initiative v2.0.1 with wifi tether, with the settings in my op. Maybe there are some adjustments in imperium/lifeless that cause this to work. I will try the file posted and report back to see if I can re-enable wifi after disabling tether.

BUMP!

This one works for me with these settings:
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Netd max client cmd - checked
Enable WiFi-Encryption - checked
WiFi-driver reload 2 - checked
Enable Access-Control - checked (If this is checked the first time the client connects, you have to grant it access from your phone. You'll notice a new icon on the top of your phone where all of your running program icons are. When you see it just pull down the list and select it and check your client and then hit apply)​Routing fix - checked
Hope this helps

something probably worth mentioning on this, I'm currently on Lifeless 14, and the connections optimizer was screwing with this app. I turned it off and it worked like a charm.
Not of concern to anyone AOSP/AOKP/CM/PA but for stock/lifeless/imperium(i think) this is worth looking into for some folks.

These settings worked for me using the Stock Odex JB 4.1 rom. and the TrevE mod version below. I had to reboot first after installing the apk, and reload the binaries.

throttling
Well since it seems the tethering problem hasn't been remedied yet (touchy and have to restart), has anyone figured out a way to get around sprint's throttling? Unfortunately I for the life of me can't get my MSL, and also unfortunately I hate using the phone to call sprint. hrm.

May I suggest jellybeer? Tethering is built in!

WiFi Tethering Still A Problem For This Device...WHY?

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...

I never had a problem with Treve Wifi tether, although I don't use it for long at a time I just set device to galaxy nexus cdma/lte and it works. I do wish we had the native option enabled like my wifes S3 and our old Evo's, the native option is by far the best.

That's really weird.. I don't have any issues with WiFi tethering. Please request a moderator to move this to Q&A Wrong Section!!!!

I'm not the only one with this problem....In the Q&A section there are several posts on this with no solution. I already stated I can use TrevE wifi tether and it connects but it will not let me download torrents or other tracked downloads....I appreciate your input and please humor me by trying to download a torrent and let me know if you can. If you can, please give me your settings and which Rom and Kernel you are using. I placed this thread here to try to get better responses because no one is offering any solutions in any of the other threads.

Thank you for your response. I've tried every setting possible that I know of for TrevE wifi, and like I said, I can connect but it does not let me download torrents and any tracked downloads. When I was on ZV9 Lifeless it worked fine but upgrading to ZVC caused the problems. I will ask you as I asked the other responder, please try to download a torrent with Utorrent and let me know if you can. If you can I would appreciate knowing what Rom, Kernel and Wifi settings you have. 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.

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?

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?

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....

I flashef back to dev edition 5.0 and used Treve wifi tether to download a torrent on my wifes S3. The only thing I did was change device profile to generic wlan0 and check send netd max client cmd.

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.
