I have tried all the methods to get "Wifi Tethering" to work, but the app doesn't work on Jelly Bean for me. What can I do to solve this? I really have a desperate need for wifi hotspotting with my phone. Please help asap?

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

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.

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.

via USB.
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
So my friend updated his GNex to JB today. His phone is completely stock, not rooted. He went to use FoxFi on his phone tonight, and now it won't work. He sent me some screen shots to show it's not working and that he is on JB. Has anyone else come across this same issue? Are there any work arounds other than rooting his phone?
Has anyone found a working alternative to FoxFi for unrooted users?

Try Fattin | Hotspot Toggle Widget, it works perfectly.
It toggles the native hotspot on/off, but bypasses the subscription check by Verizon.

Fattin worked for my rooted Verizon Jelly Bean.
Just to be safe I RDP (remote desktop) from my laptop, and then surf on the other end. I'm hoping they can't differentiate Windows RDP packets from RDP packets from an Android app.
Are there any stock roms or any roms that has the wifi hotspot/tether hack? Can anyone please let me know as that will be my main factor of purchasing this phone right now. I will appreciate it a lto. Thanks!
There are none with native tethering unlocked, but there is a modified version of wi-fi tether that works fine.

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?

I would like to know as well. Just did the update and realized I can't get Wifi Tether to work anymore! :crying:
I'm using Synergy mk4 and stock wifi hotspot works just fine. :good:
Edit: sorry you were referring to wifi tether. anyway, just letting you know that you can use hotspot as an option.

I have a rooted sphl900 note 2. Did update to 4.3 and lost my ability to use WiFi tether by trev mod. Is there a fix?
Or do I have to wipe out my phone and put a rom which has tethering ability? What do I have to do to get it back ?
Can anybody help its much appreciated. I really dont like to wipe phone since I have a lot of stuff on it, but if I have I will.
Thank you. Jjm96:crying:

I believe the newer roms are coming out with native hotspot. Just use that. System settings/more/portable hotspot

The Bluetooth works on mine, I have not tried the USB yet. I didn't think Sprint would make it so easy to tether or maybe sprint doesn't have any control. I'm just happy I can tether again.

Wifi Tether - TrevE Mod
Have you tried Wifi Tether - TrevE Mod? I prefer it over the stock tethering
It won't work. And why don't you like the stock tethering? No mucking around with device settings, network settings, routing fix, clamping, etc. Simple and easy...and it works!

problems with mss clamping and log.files
Similarily to a previous poster, when I updated to 4.3 my wifi tether trevE no longer works. Whatever is keeping it from working is preventing my wife's s4, both are rooted (obviously), they both have the same message. When I try to start tethering the reply message is " tether started with problems, please Check logs"
when I go to the logs, it tells me the file doesn't exist. I think this is my main problem.
When looking up the proper settings, enable mss Clamping was # 10 on the list, but there wasn't a setting for mss clamping.
Has anyone fixed this yet? I've seen plenty of google articles with the same issue. Thanks in advance.
