[Q] Anyone get Wifi Tether working yet with 4.3? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

No luck with the wifi tether app, log shows errors.
When using foxfi self service will come up saying i need a subscription to add or something like that so no go there.
BUT...
I can get PDAnet via foxfi to work for USB tethering, AND do wifi share to connect other wireless devices to my phone!
A bit of a hassle but if you have a computer at least you can USB tether to broadcast your phones internet.
I ask though has anyone found a way to get wifi tether to work WITHOUT having to use USB tethering??

I'm not on 4.3; I'm waiting for either for deoxidezed rooted stock rom upload and wait till the official release and it being deoxided rooted stock.
I have found that WiFi tether can be a nickpicky about busybox, especially wihich version is installed. The last version that worked well for me was v1.20.2 linusyang. Anything after that I found to cause to errors. I think it has something to do with kernal, which I'm using Perseus. I get issues with STweaks because of it as well.
It may be worth trying a previous/different busybox install and see what happens. WiFi tether does use Busybox.

No WiFi Tether after UnrEVOked?

I just rooted my Evo, using the unrevoked method, and my main reason for doing so was to be able to use the Google WiFi tether app.
The root appears to be successful by all counts, but after installing the WiFi tether app, I cannot use it. I get an error saying "Unable to start tethering" and this is even after using the very latest v2.0.2 build from 6/12.
Anyone else run into that? How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance,
-R
Run unrovoked again, make sure its rooted for sure and that the superuser is in the app list. I ran into the problem before, and for some reason the superuser wasnt working correctly.
I use this with unrevoked. Tethers two simultaneously.
Has wpa security.. It's also fun. lol

[Q] Wireless tether version

Hi,
I rooted my EVO (temporary root using z4root 1.3). Installed wireless tether from market. Not sure of the version. Ran with defaults. Could not see the device from GTAB. Tried my notebook I am able to see and connect to my device but no internet. Network status says limited or no connectivity. Upgraded wireless tether to latest experimental version from google site.. still the same result. (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre15.apk). I know my phone is rooted as I get messages saying I am super user.
1)Whats the wireless tether version that is working for others on EVO?
2)Is there any other setup needed on the EVO for this to work ?
thanks

[Q] Android 4.2 broke tether

anyone haev their tether working on 4.2? wifi tether, built in tether, and all other 3rd party apps dont work anymore. it was working on 4.1.2 but not on 4.2.
Wifi-tether working straight away here, I just enabled it and my computer connected straight away.
I did however install 4.2 with a full wipe, it seems people using the OTA have had plenty of bugs non of which I've experienced.

I did a clean install and wipe from 4.1.2 to 4.2 as well, re- rooted it as well and no dice. No update available from the app store either.
The built in works on mmuzzy ROM for me

any update on this? works on macs but not windows or xbox.
I was using a AOKP ROM with lean kernel (4.1.x) and wifi tethering was working fine.
I then went to 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, WiFi tethering so far has been broken.
I tried Bigxie's deoxed, tried Android Revolution HD 10.x, and Rootbox's 4.2.2 nightly with the same result where WiFi tethering doesn't work. In my case, the client that is trying to connect will connect, IP is assigned but it won't be able to access the internet.
The ROM flashing were a full wipe, as well as dirty wipe - made no difference.
I was using Pdanet on a USB tether and it no longer works after update. My phone is totally stock with no mods. I did a factory wipe and reinstalled everything and still a no go. PC is a Windows 7 box with all associated drivers reinstalled. Contacted June fabrics (Pdanet Dev) about it and they think its a driver issue.

I also have these threads gpoing on it. Though you will get better support here than at the Google Dev forums.

For anyone that is interested, I got an email from PDAnet yesterday that says they have fixed the problem with a new PC side software install. I don't know if this helps any of you but there is a fix out there at least for PDAnet.

[Q] WiFi Tether Broken after JDQ39 4.2.2 udpate VZW stock rooted

Hello,
I an running stock rooted 4.2.2 on vzw gnex. I have been using wifi tether since I got the phone and now with 4.2.2 it is not working. I get started with errors warning. log shows failed to configure AP and start AP.

the wifi tether app no longer works but the built-in tether does. there's a copy of a modified version of wifi tether floating around (actually, in this Q & A forum thread!) that some are saying does work but I have not tested it myself (yet)
{edited to add} well, I just installed the hacked version of wifi tether and it works perfectly. the link to it is here in the Q & A thread so you should be able to find it. you will need "unknown sources" checked to allow it to install...

[Q] T Mobile GN2 (T889) Wifi Tether on Stock JB 4.3?

Root is done, but can't get wifi tether working on stock JB 4.3 on T-Mobile. I tried both Wifi Tether Router and Wifi Treve Mod 3.3 pre, but they don't work. It seems like the issue is on the mobile hotspot installed which cannot be uninstalled on any apps: tried Titanium, Root App Delete, Root Explorer and other. Please help. ROM flash was not needed on JB 4.1.2.
None of the wifi tether apps work on 4.3 ( I mean NONE!, lol). The way I got around it was to root the 4.3 and flash a 4.1.2 rom that has the hot spot hacked built in. I used JEDI X18 and the built in hot spot worked with no issues. Hope this helps.
flash version 2.1 and the tethering fix
