[Q] Wifi Tethering on JellyBean

Hi,
I'm running Vicious V3, and am having issues with wifi tethering. Everything seems fine when I turn on hotspot and my PC will attempt to connect, but as soon as my PC obtains an IP address, 4G/3G drops out on my phone. If i turn off hotspot, my data connection returns with no issues.
Anyone else see this?
Thanks

same problem here...
I'm having same problem. Well, not exactly the same but still. My stock hotspot has never worked in ICS Roms either. I was using wifi tether app and it was working like a charm. But since I got the jelly bean, none of the wi fi tethering apps work. I guess I'm waiting on the update of the app itself.
I've tried Vicious 1 JB, and V5 as well. same problem.

Wifi tethering works fine for me on CM9, so it at least works in ICS ROMs afaik. I've been planning on flashing mROM stock JB soon so I'll have to try that out. Maybe I'll try Vicious as well to see if I have the same issue.

Thanks for replying. Yes like I said. It used to work great in ICS Roms but not in Jelly Bean. Please let me know what to do!!!

Works fine for me now on all JB ROMs I've tried. The tethering apps dont work on JB, but the native wifi tether does. If you dl MoreQuicklyPanel from the play store, you can toggle hotspot from the notification window. I dont have the wifi tether plan from Verizon, and AFAIK using the native hotspot in JB doesnt get back to verizon for charges.

Thanks for the reply. I lost you when you mentioned
"If you dl MoreQuicklyPanel from the play store, you can toggle hotspot from the notification window. I dont have the wifi tether plan from Verizon, and AFAIK..."
What should I try to do from Play Store???
When I tried to use the natives wifi tethering, it connects to the other devices but there is no data bytes being exchanged. It's almost like you're connected to the internet but the web sites do not load up.

Tethering on VM still work?

Before I installed Vanilla ICS on my One V, I was able to get tethering to work on rooted stock using android-wifi-tether. After noticing that tethering wasn't working on Vanilla ICS, I installed the odex stock ROM that Jmz released. I'm finding that tethering is still not working. It can't seem to get an IP address. My assumption is this is Virgin Mobile blocking it.
Is anyone using the Virgin MobilenOne V able to successfully tether still? If so, what's your secret?

I am using the Provision rom, which has built in tethering, and it works just fine.

Thank you for confirming
It was actually the kernel I was using that was preventing me from being able to tether. After switching back to stock ROM with Jmiz's kernel, I noticed it still wouldn't tether. I then switched back to the stock kernel as well, and tethering works fine now.

[Q] Updated phone, re-rooted it, can't use WiFi Tether now?

Hey guys! As the title says, I updated my phone from ICS to Jelly Bean, re-rooted it, and now I can't use WiFi Tether. I changed the device profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0) when I first got the app on ICS in order for it to work, and it doesn't work on that setting now. I've tried many other settings, and none of them work either. It says that tethering has started, the log doesn't show any errors, but when I try to connect with various devices, they just won't connect to it. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

I remember reading that tethering does not work on jb ROMs. Im pretty sure there is a jb ROM that does claim it works, just to lazy to find you a link
can it USB tether?

Look for the WiFi Tether-TrevE Mod.

I couldn't get tethering to work on Touchwiz JB even with TrevE mod, which is a shame because my phone is unlocked and on a carrier that does support tethering, yet it's still being blocked by Tmobile. Grr. Anyways, that's part of the reason I switched to AOKP. I highly recommend it.

WiFi Tether-TrevE Mod works for me on a stock JB rooted SGS2.

Haven't tried the Treve mod one yet, I'll give that a try and I'll post results, thanks!
Edit: So with that app, none of my devices see the network (my pc, my other phone, and my PS Vita).
I haven't tried USB tethering with it, because the only reason I tether with it is to play my Vita online when I'm not at home, so I have no use for USB tethering

I'm not a big custom rom fan, but after checking the page out for that one, I like what I see and I think I'll be attempting that tomorrow. Thanks for the tip =]

wifi tether works on aosp based roms prior to 4-22

[Q] Jedi Mind Trick: Hotspot/data disconnect?

Hi,
New here. Just rooted Koodo T989D and applied latest Jedi Mind Trick. I'm having issues with using the mobile hotspot with my Win 7 laptop. My laptop connects to the wireless hotspot on my phone, and my phone is getting 4G connectivity with no issues, but I can't access the internet with the laptop (i.e. there's some disconnect between the hotspot and 4G). I wasn't having any issues with stock rom.
I have tried:
Flashing both the Telus/Koodo and the T-Mobile 4.1.2 MC6 radio
Disabling WiFi Calling, WiFi Direct, and WiFi Direct Share
Using FoxFi instead of the T-Mobile hotspot app
Nothing has worked. Only thing I haven't tried is removing the T-Mobile hotspot app, which I can't find to remove.
Any other suggestions?

Tmobile-based roms block tethering. Try this:

Thanks... that worked. I had seen that info before, but for some reason I didn't think it would apply to me on Koodo/Telus in Canada since I've never even heard of tether blocking. But, I guess, as you said, JMT is T-Mobile based.
Thanks again!

No problem. Nice to see some fellow Canadians on here

Need a wifi tether rom

I need a rom or hack to give me wifi tether or bluetooth tether. Can anyone list one that they know works please. Im rooted now but I cant keep tether running and I think I need to redo root.

Well I flashed the phone back to stock and redid root and wifi tether is working good. I would rather have Bluetooth tether and a rom without all the sprint junk so I'm still looking for a nice rom.

Optimus DE and Stocktimus have Wi-Fi tether built into them. Dunno about Bluetooth.
