This issue may effect more than just sprint GNex users, i'm not sure. Ever since 4.2.1 has hit our developers hands i've had nothing but issues tethering my internet. Unfortunately for me tethering is my only means of internet, so this poses quite a problem for me. One easily solved by going back to a 4.1.x rom, but who whats to downgrade, what's the fun in that?? I have messed around with different 4.2 roms and found a few that act differently and i'm hoping that the devs can collaborate and get a system together what works flawlessly like 4.1 did.
First rom up: Paranoid Android 2.99 PIE 4.
No tethering at all on this rom. Tethering turns on and technically works fine but there is an error with SecPhone.apk and data is dropped on phone until tethering is turned off.
2nd Rom: Black Bean 7.
Half-ass tethering. Tethering runs well enough at first, but any drop in data, and my phone can't reestablish a data connection. Again causing a problem with SecPhone.apk.
3rd Rom: CMK v2.
Tethering seems to function flawlessly on this rom. Connection reestablishes after a call just like it should. I'm hoping that whatever this dev did to make the tethering work we can get on all of our 4.2.1 roms.
So my next question. Can I fix the issue by installing CMK's SecPhone to PA and have tethering working? Does the problem lay in the SecPhone app or is it just an innocent bystander crashing when something other go haywire?
Try sourcery rom. Has the tethering capabilities of cmk and all the features if PA plus much more. Auto hide navbar and keep screen off when plugging in charger are a few exclusive features with many more.
Hey guys,
I am unable to use WIFI Tether on any custom rom other than Touch wiz based rom.
Got an S3 through Rogers(SGHI747M)
As instructed, I've clean installed all the roms out in Original developement section including LIquid smooth, Carbon, AOSP Tasker.
The only non touch wiz rom that seems to work right now is Liquid smooth RC7 4.1.2 version but that too with the help of an app on play store.
Where am i going wrong here? Ive tried going through google and xda local search and have found no concrete solution to this problem.
Currently still running RC7 4.1.2 Liquid Smooth.
The network ssid seems to show up but cant connect when encrypted. Sometimes with these custom roms, even the ssid wont show.
Any recommendation guys?
Ibelive on some of the new ROMS Cm 10.1 for example there were issues with wifi tether while useing WPA and LTE tethering. I though some of those issues had been worked out. I may be wrong on that though. Does it work with open security?

Open security don't work either. Some claim that wifi tether will not work on cm10.1 based roms with Rogers and others have quickly debunked that theory but without having a possible solution to getting tether to work in cm 10.1. I really don't know who to believe anymore.
Im making another thread in the Development section since people with the Nexus S dont care to even try to help with the Nexus S 4G people..
Short and simple is there any Jellybean ROM for the NS4G that has 4G Tethering working?
Please Thank "cloud9utk" for finding this! Post #18
Code:
ok, so i have a NS4G running CM 10.1.2-crespo4G. i run the matrix kernel v25-CM and have gapps.20130812 installed.
i was able to get 4G tethering running with Wifi Tether v3.4experimental1
here are my settings:
Profile: Google Nexus S 4G
Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
"Max Client" - unchecked
"No-tether" - checked
No encryption
Default SSID on default channel (set to 01)
wifi reload 1 - unchecked
wifi reload 2 - checked
all other settings default. you can enable access control and just allow your own devices.
works in 4G just fine.
oddities: when i analyze the wifi signals, all other modes go through without errors on the log, but the wifi never shows up in the Wifi Analyzer graph. but with these settings it shows up, but at channel 06. curious, but it works.
i haven't tried to change the ssid, because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but i'm confident that won't mess it up.
cheers everyone! thanks for all the help! glad i could finally give something back!
PS: it works best when sprint isn't mucking around with their WIMAX network... also, i am on voyager mobile, not Sprint, but it is a sprint mvno. so $50/month unlimited tethering data. hmm..
In 4.1.2 most if not all rooms should be easy to tether off of with the standard wifi tether app I don't have the link handy but it's the common xda-developers one.
For 4.2.1/2 Google changed how tethering works... The only app I found that works is in the market for $. 99...It's called wifi tether router.. It eats most of the ram while running so one app like a music player or texting can be run at the same time but expect to reboot if you disable the tether and want to re-enable it... Also it bugs sometimes and has to be reinstalled... Wpa2 appears to work the best... I use it with slim bean 4.2.2 and it runs on wimax just fine. It does drain the battery at close to 1 percent per minute and beats out the charger in drain just be aware.

I am using the latest WiFi Tether I grabbed from Google and it has been working great. I have been tethering 2 laptops and my other phone on 4g and it hasn't disconnected once.

I could not get WIFI Tether to work with anything after 4.1.1 and the only way to get it to work was to go back to stock 4.1.1. What custom JB roms work with WIFI Tether?
What settings are you using with WiFi Tether? I too have not had any luck in getting it to work with a Jellybean Rom.

This is the only one that works for me currently wpa2 works fine

You were right. I was on 4.1.1 at the time and tethering 4g with no problems. I am going to try the link posted above and see if it works but WiMax is used so little now that tethering 4g might make me stay on 4.1.1 stock. I can customize the extended power menu and battery icons with Xposed mod so it may be OK if the above link doesn't work. I am trying them all on SlimROM 4.2.2 now
This worked for me...
Running stock, rooted 4.1.1 on Nexus S 4G. I've been running up against a wall trying to get tethering to work until I stumbled across this link...
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661
Of particular interest was post #197 and the link to wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk
Be sure to change the device profile to Nexus S 4G. Voila! Tethering works!
(you should uninstall any other tethering apps you may have installed.)

Do you mean this works on 4.2.2 or 4.3? I had Wifi Tether working on the last Sprint OTA stock 4.1.1 but not on anything after.

I'm on Sprint OTA stock 4.1.1, rooted and unlocked, and have not been able to get tethering to work at all until Ifound the referenced link. I don't see why you couldnt try it on 4.2 and beyond?

Yeah I've tried to get Wifi Tether working on 4.2 roms but unsuccessful so went back to stock rooted 4.1.1, as it's the only thing that would work with Wifi Tether. This thread is about trying to get tether to work on a 4.2 or 4.3 rom.

Same here. I tried at least six different 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 ROMs and as soon as I activate a tether it errors out. I switched from the odexed stock 4.1.1 to OMJ's deodexed stock 4.1.1 so I can add in inverted gapps and re-odex. I don't know why data is not reconnecting once i turn on any tether app on 4.2.2 but I did get it to work twice which is driving me nuts
Well, on 4.1.1 I can tether on 4g and as soon as I posted my last post, I got the native 3g tether working on one of the newer CM builds... CM10.1.3 RC1 but only 3g as of now
Thanks for all the replies guys, I finally got internet in my house so im going to try and download a couple roms and give it a test for my self.. The only reason i wasnt doing it before was because i was terthering internet from my phone which was my main source of internet and it would have taken 2 hours just to download 1 rom
reviving this to see if anyone has gotten 4G tethering to work on at least 4.2.2

I just finished setting up my HTC One so I will go ahead and try and find a few newer 4.2.2,ROMs and try them. I already downloaded last night's CM nightly so we'll see. I mean it has worked before but I got frustrated toggling it 20 times to get it to lock.
Although I did add all of the 4.2.2 gapps to my 4.1.1 and I am fairly certain that it's all current...but what the hell, I have time today

Awesome, btw i was testing out Hellybean 4.2.2 because someone said they had tethering working in that (Seems to only be 3G Tethering tho)
But after flashing Hellybean 4.2.2, Native 3G Tethering works like a charm
After flashing gApps on top of that native 3G Tethering STOPPED working.(as in i can connect but no data gets sent to my computer)
Ive tried to replicate the problem 3 times so far and each time the same things happens so i believe i just linked the flashing of gApps to our tethering problem, at least the native tethering

Thank you for this, Ill have to give a try later today when i download the rom. Ill report back with my findings
So I just got around to doing exactly what you said and installed everything you had.. WORKS LIKE A CHARM. YOU ARE A GOD SEND..
all to do now is see if the matrix kernel is not needed. Thank you so much again!!!
I haven't been able to get my wifi tether working. I've searched for hours but most of the post aren't very recent. I've tried adjusting the settings to many different combinations as mentioned in three other posts. I'm on baseband MC2, JB 4.1.2 and have tried two roms...Swampmonster 2.2/2.3 and Macks Allstar 5.0, as well as using both my PC and laptop to connect. I've used the TrevE mods that come with both roms as well as a couple of apps from the play store.
The same thing happens with every attempt, I connect to the AP but don't get any connection to the internet...DNS server is not responding.
I've recently changed from big red over to sprint and have had my N2 for about a week now. Is this a Sprint thing or is it just my unfamiliarity with my Note 2?
Any help would be much appreciated. Dexter's on tonight.....
Also tried WolfRom and USB tethering, still no connectivity

It's been working for me, basically. I'm on a stock deoxided MC2 ROM with Perseus kernal. I get an error but I don't know what it is, since the log gives another error about no file existing. The error I had before trying to reinstall WiFi and BusyBox was a routing fix failed error.
I used this at work for at least six hours to connect a tablet and laptop. I figure I'm using around 2GB to 6GB each night.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to keep experimenting. I suggest trying with just the defaults settings. See what happens. If not, try changing Driver reloads or none. Unfortunately, it's just a lot of trial and error.

Thanks. I don't give up easily...I'll get it working if possible. I'm just wondering if Sprint is blocking the tether because I connect right away with no errors but the "DNS Server is not responding".

Sprint should be blocking you unless there is something off on your phone. My issue, I think, has to deal with the BusyBox Linux binary library that got loaded. I'm assuming maybe a phone wipe and reflash may fix it.
Yea, I'm near the wine valley, actually. Although, I prefer to be back in San Diego.
I installed Goodness Noteworthy v1.0.8 ROM and get good wifi tethering of 3G. I haven't tested 4G as I don't get it yet.
I'm just running stock rooted MC2 with updated CSC data (Garwyn's) and the separate TrevE version of the Wifi Tether APK works like a charm. My kids just used it on 3G and LTE all the way down I-95 in Florida. Sometimes it would boot them all off when switching from LTE to 3G, but they'd reconnect without issue.
Not sure if that helps you, other than I'm using the very latest MC2 OTA and maybe you're still using a ROM based on the leak? I'm not a dev, so if I'm talking out of my posterior just disregard!
Got it working
I'm still not sure why I had problems when nobody else did on the respective threads for the roms I mentioned above.
I did get it going though...For the touchwiz roms I had to run ISWAT tether unlocker while my tether was active (It's on the Play Store).
Right now I'm running LiquidSmooth's AOSP rom and the native tether works great. I've been bouncing back and forth between nandroid
backups; I like TW most of the time but when I want to tether or am looking for speed/responsiveness I switch over to AOSP.
Just to make sure, have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40234725
I flashed it on deodexed stock MC2 and it works great, even with tablets and an iPod Touch.
I got it working with Treve mod
WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_20_2012_insmodv3.apk
Had to change one settings, or else it wouldn't appear on PC
Change Device-Profile to Generic ICS/JB wlan0

I've got it working on deoxidized rooted stock rom. I'm using the latest beta from July 20, 2013 (TrevE Mod Wifi Tether. The only setting I needed to change was to Driver Reload 2.
wifi-tethering
Now, I'm also using the Wifi -Tethering . its still working now.
you can find info from rootnote2.com
Is the problem of wifi tether under AOSP rooms on this device totally insoluble?
I've never found an answer to it, only directions to fixing it under TouchWiz or vague changelog entries about having 'fixed wifi tether' on Carbon and such, which did no such thing.
Standard wifi tether app 3.3b2 fails to start an access point. TrevE mod claims to start fine in the app's log, but no access point shows up on a scan. The mobile hotspot function in system settings also starts up, and even let's devices connect, but there's no data transfer.
I understand that there's something bad going on with Samsung's release of wifi drivers, so I'm just hoping that someone somewhere has looked into this.
Asked in the official thread on the development forums, but so far no replies after several days. I am wanting to get some form of tether working on this ROM, but so far nothing works. From trying the built-in tethering function to using Android-Wifi-Tether, nothing is working. I know there are some tether issues with JB ROMs on this phone, but usually they are easy to overcome with a patch from the ROM devs themselves.
Has anyone gotten tether to work on this specific ROM, and how did you go about doing it.
Thanks

I used to use CM 10.1. I dont think I ever went to 10.1.2 but I dont think it makes a difference. I just remember going to 10.2. But every CM ROM I was on, the native tethering worked fine for me. I'm on Verizon though. I dont know if that makes a difference either.
EDIT: Saw you were on Verizon. It should work unless I'm forgetting something
So far I have tried CM 10.2 nightly 9/15 and 9/17 and the 10.1.2 stable release and the native tethering doesn't work on any of them. I can connect using it, but the connection is limited and no data is transferred at all. I was using a custom ROM from MWalt and I had to use his native tethering patch to get it to work on JB roms.

I dont know whats going on with your phone then. I've never had an issue with tethering and I've never used a patch. What are you trying to tether to? Some devices may have issues with the type of signal the Galaxy Nexus puts out. For example, there is a thread around here about tethering issues with the Xbox.
Have tried my laptop, a tablet and a 3DS. None of them work. I can see the network and connect, but no data is ever transferred. On ICS roms I didn't have to do anything to get tether to work right out of the box. But starting with JB, I have had to use either patches or workarounds to get the native tethering to work on any ROM I try.

Sorry man. I have no idea whats wrong. The only thing I can recommend is maybe try flashing the stock image and see if it fixes anything. I know thats not what people want to hear. But unless someone else says they are having the same problem, it would seem to be only happening with your device. Another possibility, I guess, could be your radios. Did you flash any other radios on your device?
I am using this radio from 3/5. What radio are you using, and is it safe to back down to a prior one?

I'm pretty sure those are the ones I am using too. I wouldn't revert to older ones until someone with more experience says its ok. I dont want to say yes and have your phone break. I dont know what to tel you though. If you have the time, I'd say just start from scratch and see if it fixes it.
Start fresh as in going back to stock 4.2.2 or whatever the latest is? I tried that between flashing the different CM versions but with JB roms I have to apply a patch before native tethering works for some reason. I will try different radios when someone confirms you can back down to an earlier set without issue.

Alright. Sorry I couldnt be more help.
Your help is appreciated. At least I know that I can tether, just depends on if I want to move to certain ROMs or not. Hopefully I can get CM to tether as its one of the best running ROMs I have used for this phone.
The only time I had an issue tethering on CM is when I ran AK kernel. Stock cm kernel and Franco kernel always worked fine however. I'm not sure what the difference was....
