Hello,
I was wondering if there are any advantages or disadvantages to using FoxFi over the built in tethering option for CyanogenMod 10. I love how easy the built in option is with CM10 but if it's more likely to be detected I'll keep with FoxFi. I've been using FoxFi for quite a while and just re-upped to CM10 today and am curious about this since the default ROM blocks WiFi tethering without a data plan through ATT.
Thanks!
Rom: [N7105XXDLL1 4.1.2] International Stock ROM for i317 and i317M.
Hi,
I am having hard time setup wifi tether from note2 to other devices (ipad, iphone, windows phone).
I use the built-in wifi hotspot (note2 has LTE data connection), I can see other devices connect to note2, but when I try to open a web page on ipad, it just keep loading and never received any data from note2.
Also, tried foxfi, it gives the same problem.
Has anyone got the same problem? I am on Telus ISP (canada). Is the problem related to APN setting??
Thanks,
Eric
----------------- update ----------------------
I found the solution. Have to update the APN setting again. Then wifi tether works fine.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a wifi tether app that works with 4.2.1?? the built in wifi tether app does work for me all the time
Many roms have tether built in so no app needed. Not sure of any apps that work for 4.2.1

I'm on a Gnex lte with a verizon unlimited plan. I'm running CM 10.1. the rom's hotspot shows up to connect, can't connect with my laptop, can connect on the ipad but dns error and no internet. WiFi tether app, both from playstore and beta3 version doesn't seem to broadcast a signal recognizable by either my laptop or the ipad. I'm wondering if the app just isn't working right or if verizon is blocking my tethering.

I'm positive sourcery has working stock tether. Try that rom to see it's rom or Verizon. I'm on sprint unlimited
Also try both secured networks WPA works for me
the built in wifi tether does work all the time, i used to use the app and it always used to work
Oh..ok
WiFi tether doesn't work on 4.2.1.

I have the the same problem. And my tablet connects to my phone no problem. So just because your laptop connects, doesn't mean the Xbox will, because mine won't. The problem is specifically with the Xbox not working all of a sudden when trying to tether using native or the tether app on 4.2.1. I hope somebody can find a solution soon because I love the new OS and really don't want to revert back.
i have spent two days trying to resolve my issue with wifi tether as well. i've tried 4..2.1 aokp (w/ stock kernel) and CM10.1. with both i've tried using wifi tether with my windows 7 laptop, to no avail. i have tried using open, wpa and wpa2. wifi tether does not work for me with any 4.2 roms. i finally gave up and went back to using my aokp build 5 where native wifi tether works normally.
**I found that Bluetooth tether works, but at an obvious sacrifice of bandwidth speed. wifi tether still does not work.
I'm on AOKP 4.2.1 for Galaxy S3, i747. Same thing, no wifi tethering.
"everyone" keeps saying it will work when there is no encryption, which yes.. others can connect to the network, however, they cannot run data/speedtest.
if you download the wifi tether app for root users ( WiFi Tether for Root Users
Müller, Lemons, Buxton )
it will have troubles starting and configuring AP.
I am having the exact same problem with mmuzzy image 4.2.1 on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I did find that svtp - lite tethering app works but 14.99 for the pro version no way.

Same issue on stock 4.2.1 takju. My tablets connects to my phone but can't get internet access through my phone. Used to work fine but ever since 4.1.2 its broken.

Have you guys tried "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin? I have seen reports that it still works with 4.2.1, but can't confirm it myself since I am on 4.1.1 atm.
The app does not provide hotspot functionality per se. It is a widget to toggle the built-in hotspot on and off. It bypasses the annoying carrier check if you have tether plan or not (for those of us that are still enjoying grandfathered unlimited data).
The app also does not require root.
Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fattin.togglewidget.hotspot
wifi tether (native) now works on my phone after 4.2.1 aokp build 1 and build 2 did not work. again aokp 4.2.1 mr1 build 3 has a working wifi tether.
I too have had problems with numerous roms and tether. Just today I installed AOSPA 3.0 on my toro and guess what?
NO WIFI TETHER. Everything else was awesome but I have to have tethering when I'm at home.
So, I roll back to my trusty old CM 10.1 01/02/13 nightly build that runs great and has WORKING wifi tether. Good luck.

I know this doesn't help the OP but I just have to THANK YOU for this suggestion. The " Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin along with Foxfi and PDANet works wonderfully on my Verizon Gnex stock unrooted. So, I know its only 4.1.1. We'll see if we ever get 4.2, but in the meantime, this is way better than only being able to connect my Nexus 7 with Bluetooth because of the carrier check.

I use cm 10 and love the simple tethering on it. however my wife like the stock rom, so i have given her clean bean 2.3. only problem is that the tethering built in is the stock sprint tethering which will not work unless you pay for it. does anyone have a working tethering app or a way to enable the sprint stock tethering on clean bean 2.3?
Treve mod wifi tether, google it

I know Kingo works for rooting, and people are using titanium backup prior to rooting now, but with the ROMS still locked, can we enable tethering?
Im waiting to see before I root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T217a on AT&T
Foxfi kind of works for tethering. But a little unstable. It does Bluetooth & WiFi.
Adeptustech from anything but Apple products

There has to be a way to bypass the at&t all access crap to install and enable the native Samsung tethering app that supports bluetooth tethering as well as wi-fi tethering... If anyone can guide me I have a rooted unlocked s4 mini i9192 that tethering works great on with wi-fi and bluetooth using the tethering widget from the system widget widget.. I need to know which apk's to copy from the system folder, also my tab 3 is 4.2.2 rooted my s4 mini is 4.4.2 rooted just in case that makes any difference.
same* i have foxfi with key but my sm-t217a will turn off wifi after ten minuets saying not in use . i do not want this i want it to just stay on , i would like to leave it at home with wifi tether , always on . it seems at&t has removed the hotspot settings options in this rolled android to try to force us to use their crap. foxfi works great but i want to leave it unadministered while im away so i can remote back in. any ideas ?
*EDIT* so i had a note 3 and did a mod a while ago to add mobile hotspot to the notifications bar, it worked on my sm-t217a , then long pressing got me to the menu in settings for mobile hot spot which had been hidden , however its pretty much nothing in there cept a check box for usb tethering and a help , which doesnt do anything. SO i guess im dicking around in the wrong sqlite databases to unhide the main mobile hotspot menu in the main settings, but atleast now i have a form of access to the main android feature
