Question says it all, it's been a bit bothersome not being able to get on my school's Wi-Fi network when both my old android phones (OG Droid and Dinc) could do it just fine with the use of my schools Wi-Fi app.

Maybe the app isn't updated for ICS yet?

There are a lot of variables when dealing with 802.1x. Make sure you have the correct EAP method and Phase 2 Authentication. Also, have you imported the certs if they are using them?
yeah the app has definitely not been updated yet but I can't get it to work manually either. The guy who wrote the app said he'd look into it but it's kind of a backburner project for him. My friend is a systems administrator here on campus and he gave me all the authentication and certs stuff but I still cant get it to work. any other thoughts?
I can't find an answer to this question.
We have a very fast ethernet network at work and a very slow wifi network and poor 3g speeds. As a result dropbox backups take ages.
Is there any way to get my phone to use my PCs internet connection when it's connected by USB cable? I know I'll be limited to USB 2 speeds but that should be a big improvement.

It is possible with bluetooth, if your computer have that.

If your PC has a wifi card, you can turn it into a wifi hotspot natively using Windows 7. You can also use 3rd party software if you are on XP.
Once you have the hotspot set up, just connect with your gnex.

I'll have to borrow a laptop and try that. Shame there's no way of just using a simple cable!
I wonder if the wifi network it will be ad hoc and therefore may not not be visible to ICS. I'll try tomorrow if I can find a laptop.
In the meantime, if anyone can think of a cable method.......

I may be late on this one.. but why does my Gnex only connect at 65Mbps on wireless-n?

All advertised/published WiFi speeds are theoretical, and possible under ideal conditions. 65 Mbps is far more than you need, unless of course you are on a WiFi network that has a back end that can supply more than 65Mbps.

I think you're on 2.4 WiFi n and not 5 GHz WiFi n which would give you the higher speeds.

I own a Netgear N900 router capable of 450mbps on both 2.4 and 5GHz bands. My Nexus also maxes out at 65mbps.
Because the gnex only have 1 antenna for WiFi. Need 2 for 150Mbps.

Here is just one of the threads about this already:

I recently moved to TPR to try and get better battery life. I had been on CM9. My phone will not connect to my 802.11n router(non 5 ghz frequency). However, it will connect to my 802.11g connection just fine. I had thought it connected to either one previously, but I could be wrong. It has been so long since I first set up my phone that I can't be remember. Is this expected, or did I find a bug? From looking, it seems the Epic should support N, just not the 5ghz version.
It does support n connections and both my Epics show it is connected as N. Did you try resetting your router? Had that problem with an old Netgear...tossed it for a Cisco and all good.

Thanks for the quick reply Kenny. I gave that a shot and no dice. It must be me. I can keep using my G connection. I've got the signal strength boosted a little on that guy anyway.
Do you have the router set to make 300 Mbs connections?

i haven't had time to flash my ASUS router to ddwrt yet. And I've not bothered digging through all of the limited settings yet, but I can take a peek. Not sure what all capabilities it has.
I have an unlocked galaxy nexus running Franco r364. I just bought a Samsung arm chrome book and it will see the nexus Wi-Fi hotspot but will not connect. It let me tether however for a while then blocked it. I have the unlimited data no tethering plan. Does anyone know how to bypass the tethering block or know how I can get the chromebook to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot. I've researched and found tether bypasses such as clock work tether that work for PC or Mac but not chrome OS anyone experiencing the same issue or have found a solution. Thanks in advance.

Use the stock teethering feature in android.
T-mobile doesn't have software blocking your device because it's not T-mobile firmware but rather stock google.
you need to enable teethering on your device.
verify that your APN TYPE in your APN settings says "default,supl,dun,mms"
that should enable teethering on your stock device.

Wait... Huh? I can bypass T-Mobile's block? Can you elaborate on this more clearly? I had to orkbot (or something like that) and PDAnet just to barely tether. It's slow as hell (1 gbs). Please help!

I think he's trying to say that you should use the stock wireless tethering hotspot function instead of a third party app. Also to modify the APN with the parameters he provided
Just for the record 1gb(p)s is not slow at all...roughly 800mbps

I added the "dun," in and my computer is telling that it cannot connect to the network. Am I don't something wrong? That's with the Wi-Fi tether. I can connect with the USB tether, but I can't access the internet. I get a message from T-Mobile saying, "Turn your Smartphone into a Mobile Hotspot! Share your smartphone's high-speed internet connection […]." I can't move beyond this webpage, either. Ugh. This sucks. :-/

Forget that comment, I'm stupid.
Just connect to it via your wireless adapter.

Using stock adjusted APN and it connects but when u try to browse it directs u to T-Mobile. Anyway around this?

The way they catch you is by the UAString. On their side, it makes it look like a desktop is using your data and hence the reason you get blocked. Not too familiar with Chrome OS, but see if there are any add ons for chrome that will change the UA String( User Agent String)

Yeah, they're not having that this year. Lol. Which plan are you using? The $70 unlimited plan?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk II
I got a family plan with unlimited calls and text. I had 5gb data with hot spot but they recently came out with the uncapped unlimited data and igot it because I knew I was rooted and could still tether. Guess they caught on because as of Feb 1st it keeps redirecting to T-Mobile. I can still get away with it on my ps3 though that's about it.

I too have the $30 unlimited plan and I can tether just fine. You are using the stock tethering feature right? Have you tried changing the uastring?

Forums typically require a minimum number of characters (chars) before you can post. 10 characters used to be pretty common, so people would boost their character count by adding "10char" to their post. Looks like 2 characters is the minimum on xda...
I have this problem too, almost. I have the Sprint variant and I don't get redirected to a site on my Samsung ARM CB.
When on any Jellybean rom, my CB sees the built in hotspot from the gnex but says it can't connect to it. Works perfectly on cm9.1, although only when the hotspot is an open network. I honestly can't believe 2 Google devices won't work together.

Switching to an Android use agent works
Since I bought a Samsung Chromebook in July, I had no trouble using my T-Mobile $30 5GB plan to tether to it . . . until today.
I was unhappy until I switched user agents to an Android user agent. A couple (Android 4.0.2 for Galaxy Nexus & Chrome for Android Tablet) different user agents did the trick.
