Hi all
As I am typing this my WiFi meter has lost its blue nature which is like android way of showing that the WiFi network has internet access.
Now mine is no longer blue, its constantly white which means Google play store will refuse to load cause it checks that even though I have internet access as I am sending this to you from my nexus 7.
PleaSe help

Nothing there fixed it but I did post my problem there, mine is a very unusual one cause I can still access the internet using Wi-Fi on my tablet but Google services like play don't work

Did you try another WiFi hotspot?
If it works anywhere else, it's a router issue.
You could try rebooting the router to see if that helps.
Ended up reinstalling the stock ROM, that fixed it but now I have discovered another issue, I can't install the stock bootloader for jss15R I have used adb to push the image to the recovery partition and adb says it has installed but when I try enter recovery I still see a dead android. What I am trying to do is run my tablet rooted with stock recovery so that I can receive otas. Currently I am running twrp recovery which does flash using adb and an unlocked bootloader. I might make a new thread if it is a big issue but if its a small fix I'm missing then I would rather not put it in the forums

The WiFi button usually turns blue in about one minute for me, yes I have the problem but it seems to go away, I am sure that there needs to be a software update. Sometimes having to restart the router or turning the WiFi off and on solves many problems....

On my Sprint Galaxy Nexus when I first got it the stock wifi tethering setting worked on my stock ICS. Later on I found that it just doesn't work anymore. It will activate and appear to be working and let my laptop connect but the 3G will go away like they have some kind of built in checker.
I did some research and found out that they might have a checking system set up. Well I found out you can still use apps like Foxfi which is great but I was just wondering if there was a stock work around.
They even blocked Foxfi from the market place but you can go to there main site and download it from there.
I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and what kind of solutions do they use.
Right now I am using Foxfi which works perfect but I read that you can use a widget like switch pro and create a toggle to switch the portable wifi hot spot without it going through the check.
I do not want to use USB only prefer hot spot.
So please let me know all of your guys types of solutions.

Well obviously the wifi tether built in is something your supposed to pay for. For stock no, there are no mods.

I thought it was just weird because it worked at first but now it doesn't the stock version. Maybe because my phone was just still getting set up. Foxfi works for me great because I like to have hot spot but I hear PDA Net still works as well for USB Tethering.

Does your Sprint tether work or do you have to use FoxFi?

Just root it and tether it up

It probably worked because they hadn't yet blocked it for you. Then you tried to use it and they did block it.

Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658288
I unlocked the bootloader, booted to TWRP Recovery without flashing it and flashed the tether zip. Keeps your phone stock and unlocks the built in tether. You don't even have to root.
What program do you use to unlock the boot loader or flash the roms?

How in the world did you boot into TWRP without flashing it? That might not be rooted but seems like you have to flash a rom.

Do what everyone else does....
Root it (you really need to to install any decent app).
Install wireless tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Always install the newest one posted (yes it's beta, but it's rock solid stable).
Which program do you use to flash things? Qdl tool or is that old school? I know there is a power house program for the Nexus but I forgot what it is its on my home computer am I out of town.
So you are saying you have to at least flash the recovery but not the from so its still a little more than FoxFi.
What's a quick step by step process because its been a while since I have flashed things. I use to flash my dell streak all the time until I got my Nexus which I love.
Why did you decide to flash? Is not FoxFi good enough and simple enough?

What other programs do you really need to install besides the tethering app?

You just have to be rooted and then install wireless tether.
It will prompt you to allow super user access on first start, allow it and tick the "always allow this action" box.
It's bomb proof....been using it for years on numerous different phones....and numerous different carriers (sprint included).
clockworkmod tether is another no root required tether app.

I use Chrome browser on my laptop, and change the user agent to the same as the phone (there's a Chrome app). No problems tethering...
Is that USB or Hot Spot?

Looks like FoxFi is still the easiest solution.

You can root your phone and then install wifi tether. Thus is what I did...

For about a week now, I keep getting this request on my status bar. Where did it come from and how do I remove it?
If I sign in, it opens the browser and takes me to Google.com.

Maybe Airpush?. Download any sketchy apps?
The last thing I installed was Google keep. Is Google going sour on its users?
I noticed the same on my wife's nexus running cm 10.1

Usually this means that the WiFi you are connected to requires login to function.
Beamed from my CM10.1 Galaxy Nexus
No Google Keep shouldn't be causing that.
If it is a public network, You might want to download one of those wifi security apps.
It's on any network. They are private home networks and I've been using them for the last two years. Nothing on the Wi-Fi routers have changed.
Has anybody noticed that ad blocker apps are getting some sort of java error?
I'll post the error message next time

Under the trevemod setup for our s4 , there are many replies by many xda members who are having trouble with the new hotspot shield vpn connection..
For me unlike the new version the old version it would initially connect on any device I had.
This device "s4 and the NEW updated hotspot vpn shield won't connect some say...
It just says connecting turns yellow then stops icon turns red back and forth.
EDIT: FIX
Restart device after you have vpn shield installed and tether set up.
THE Vpn shield will connect green
:thumbup:
You could try infamous rom. Has native tethering to an extent. Have to set it up in settings and then turn it on through a widget from play store.

It has never worked for me. I still get the my tmobile page everytime I use tethering.
The method worked for me, Just install Hspot vpn shield ..and reboot it does take 5-10seconds longer than the older version app used to take to connect green, but it will.

Just recently acquired a Note 8,long time android user and Xda member here.I notice that when using my device in other places using Wifi,I'm getting a browser FC which doesnt matter what type of browser im using ( Boat,Dolphin, Stock)
But the weird thing is when at home it doesnt do it.Im just streaming regularly.Im on firmware 4.2.2
is this normal? is it because 4.2.2 doesnt support flash anymore?
I wouldn't think that is normal, I have not had that issue when using wifi. Mine works on my home wifi or any other wifi I have connected to. Might want to install LogCat and see if you can find a hint there.

I recently rooted my S4 but after doing so, I keep getting notifications that my wifi connection is unstable. Which is usually just a bother but it doesn't allow me to download anything from the play store.
Try going into Settings and Wi-Fi. Delete the Wi-Fi AP and connect again.
