WIFI Tether issues on most ROMS.

Hey Guys,
I've tried all kinds of different roms, from different versions of Liquid Smooth, Carbon, Jellybam, but one common issue i experience is WIFI tethering.
All roms except Liquid Smooth 4.1.1 RC7. I've done clean installs, even went back to stop and flash fresh, and to no avail. None of the roms let me tether other than RC7. Even with RC7, the native tether doesnt work. I'd have to use a wifi tether app which only works for rc7
So a quick summary of what ive done so far:
-All wipe steps, factory reset inclusing data and system but to no avail.
-go back to stock, root again, flash any rom, nothing.
-go back to RC7 liquid smooth rom, and the wifi tether app is the only way to get wifi tether to work.
Any recommendations on what i could try or even use another rom will be awesome.
Thanks in advance.

WiFi tether on AOKP's 4.1.2 works for perfectly. Additionally, the rom is super stable.

Thanks for letting me know. The current ROM i am running is on 4.1.2 as well. It seems Wifi tethering hasnt yet been perfected on 4.2.2. Will wait this one out i guess.
Cheers.

You can try flashing KT747 Kernel. WiFi tether states its been fixed a few days ago. May be something worth doing to see if this corrects your problem.

i was using 4.2.2 Rootbox prior to this flash. I had tried to flash over the KT747 kernel for D2ATT however it did not work it just hung the phone in a continuous boot loop. i tried to do the method with fixed permissions in TWRP also but still no luck.
However it seems like on the AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2 )Task650 (2.23.2013) (AT&T) rom i'm running the wireless tether is an issue still for Canadian customers as per the FAQ section that's in their main Rom thread

I've had working wifi tether on my 4.2.2 rom for quite some time. Where you getting the "Wifi tethering hasnt yet been perfected on 4.2.2" information from? You have to have a ROM + Kernel that will allow it. Most AOSP roms should be up to date. If they are not then I'm not sure why.

Another plug for task's latest. Tethering works with underwear and ktoonsez kernels.

^ latest task ROM? Or just the kernel.

ROM and kernel have to support it.
I'm not Canadian nor do I have Canadian service. So I can't confirm that. But I have a ton of Canadian users and have seen no reports of it not working. So that must mean it works just fine.

Did you use the native tethering app? I installed Liquid Smooth 4.2.2 on my VZ S3 yesterday and I can not get the native tethering to work.

How do you install and flash a kernel. Can it just normally be done through twrp??

Over the past week I've flashed a bunch of different roms, CM 10.1, AOKP, SuperNexus, etc. and none of them I can get working for wi-fi hotspot/tethering. I'm also on Rogers and my i747 works just fine on stock rooted for wi-fi hotspot, just none of the AOSP ROMs I've tried.
My tablet or laptop will connect to the wi-fi hotspot, but no data is passed through.

[Q] MIUI Note 2 and T-mobile Wi-Fi calling

I am pretty sure that T-Mobile gives wifi calling to all customers as long as your device supports it.
I have the Samsung Note 2 and really miss the Wi-Fi calling since I have been flashing different Rom's. I have terrible service at home so it is really convenient to have the Wi-Fi calling.
There are now two versions of MIUI for the Samsung T-Mobile Note 2 both of which have not supported Wi-Fi calling.
Does anyone know a work around to get Wi-Fi calling working on MIUI?

All phones can pretty much support wifi calling however not all software can support it. Aosp and miui do not support wifi calling. Devs have been working on getting Wifi calling to work on aosp/miui roms. Some older phones like the mytouch 4g got wifi calling working for aosp roms. Best bet would be to download custom rom based off touch wiz and apply a theme and custom launcher and in your case it would be mi home launcher.

Good advice. I just always live miui ROMs. They are snappier and have great features. I guess I have to weigh those things over having WiFi calling. Thanks

Just sign up for Google voice. No issues on wifi here so far. I was using it on Jedi x15 .
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I was thinking about Google voice but wouldn't that only work for outgoing calls? Incoming calls wouldn't know to dial my Google voice number when on WiFi. Unless there some other app that does that too?

This was great advice. I found a stock Rom that was odexed in the forums and I still have root access. I didn't realize that I could have root access without a custom ROM. The stock Rom has really good features and is very snappy. Also, I didn't know that I could have the MIUI theme on top of the stock touchwiz ROM. I'm using mihome with the superman theme. So happy with my phone now. Everything works right and it looks great.
Any ideas on getting a transparent notification bar?

Wait... What? Google Voice can be used as a wifi calling tool? Ive been on FrostyJB 8 and while I like the rom, I'd rather have another rom but due to worki must have wifi calling. I've always been told you have to use a crapplication like GroovIP... more on this please! This could have just changed my life lol

It was very laggy and it wouldn't answer half of the calls on four different wifi networks... refunded that one. My business is too important to miss calls because of third party software failures.

Never had that issue in Afghanstain I did but thats because Sat Internet has a latency of the 800ms so anything is going to have an issue carrier or not carrier. Spent time in Germany also and used it for two weeks and never once had a hiccup

How to get wifi tethering to work on 4.2.2

So I've tried 2 different aosp roms, MiBox 1.20 and IllusionRom, and I can't seem to get wifi tethering to work on either rom. It works just fine for me on touchwiz. I tried using the hotspot built into the rom and ive tried treve mod wifi tether app and neither work.. Does anyone know how to get it to work? Thanks.

If I remember correctly, it states in the OP of both of these that this is an issue. It is an issues with most AOSP ROMs.

WiFi tether works fine if you edit build.prop with for example ROM toolbox from market and edit it and add
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
Then save and reboot and built in WiFi tether should be working fine...
If your build.prop doesn't have that line to add then add it and you should have it working right...

Have you tried yet adding
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
To your build.prop and check if the build in tether hotspot works?
Works fine for me and I always add that to get it working...I forgot were I got it from but it works

I've been trying to get wifi tether working with no luck so far.
I tried adding the ro.ril.transmitpower=true
I tried downloading a beta build of the wifi tether app (3.2 pre2)
I tried it with mms clamping and routing fix on and off.
The best i can get is i see the hotspot show up on the available networks, but when i try to connect it either gets as far as getting an IP address and then just keeps re-trying that (the app shows a device connected) or if i have encryption enabled, it doesn't seem to get past authenticating.
Some of the combinations i tried the network doesn't even show up under the list of available networks.
Can anyone offer some advice on how to get the wifi tether working? I'm using a sprint evo 4lte, with the viper rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I'm using Liquid Smooth and have not had any issues tethering, do a back up and give it a try.

[Q] Wi-Fi Calling and Texting/MMS Simultaneously. Not.

I had Wi-Fi Calling on and tried to text and send a pic but kept failing so I rebooted and still no luck. I turned off Wi-Fi Calling and bam, the text and pic went through. Is this a known issue or Rom-related?

Not an issue on the bobcat rom, I just ported. Or my echoe or xnote roms.

Ok, but I am running your Xnote Rom. It's no biggie. Just an inconvenience to have to turn it off and on in order to text.

False! I just tested this on the stock rom with no issues.
Must be a feature of your custom rom.

Thanks for checking! I was going to ask someone who was still stock to verify so at least now I know I can text with it off.

Which ROMs support wifi calling?

I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 which supports wifi calling and am looking to flash a ROM onto it to use newer apps like Periscope, but I NEED wifi calling to work.
Anyone know of a really stable ROM that 100% supports wifi calling? Thanks.

As far as I am aware (and I could be incorrect) but only stock does wifi calling. Apps like hangouts can though.
