Alright guys, haven't been on here for awhile. My work has a public wifi network, one of those ones you have sign into through an internet portal. I had a nexus 7 2012 wifi only tablet, and it worked with my wifi at work. My HTC one also works with my wifi at work. There isn't any "real" login (ie username and password) it's only a "hey thanks for using this press continue to gain internet access"
I bought a nexus 7 2013 lte tablet last night. Took it to work today and it will not connect to my works wifi. There wifi provider is wandering wifi. The error i get is "Unable to connect to the internet, there were technical difficulties directing you to the wifi login page. we are working quickly to address any issues. please try again in a few minutes"
I can turn right around and log into the wifi with my htc one and my nexus 7 2012.
things i have tried:
-disabled mobile data
-removed tmobile sim
-restart tablet
-factory reset tablet
-used a different browser to complete login
-logged into my home wifi network (works)
things you should know about my situation
-not rooted on any of the three devices
-not unlocked on any of the devices
-no software modifications at all
-EVERYTHING IS STOCK on all three devices, but up to date.
Suggestions and tips would be great.
Thanks
Nick
the first thing i thought of when reading about this sort of access points like the one you have described is that i always have to activate cookies in order to log onto the wifi. but it seems that it may not be your issue since you already have tried with another browser...

Thanks for the reply, i did mean to add the fact that i cleared the cookies.. but i figured most would realized that comes with factory resetting and new browser lol
If the 2012 one is on 4.3 or less, and the 2013 is on kitkat, perhaps the wifi gateway requires flash, which is no longer supported on kitkat (unless one uses dolphin with the flash workaround).
In short, try it with dolphin with the flash apk enabled.

I'm trying to run wireless tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) on a Droid Incredible which has been updated to stock 2.2 and then rooted. I'm running wireless tether 2.0.5 pre 9 and everyting seems to work and I can connect to the phone from my laptop (running Win XP), but then I can maybe sometimes load a single web page and then I get timed out connections. It seems that DNS resolution is working as I get answers from nslookup in a command window.
Is anyone else having problems getting wireless tethering working? The web pages I've found on the subject seem to be from before Froyo came to the Dinc, even the Google project page doesn't mention 2.2.

Have not tried Wireless Tether with 2.2 since I can use the 3G Wirelecc Hotspot that comes with 2.2. All you need to do is this:
1. On your phone, bring up the dialer and dial ##778. This will load EPST.
2. Select EDIT.
3. Enter 000000 for the password.
4. Select SECURITY.
5. Select the username that has [email protected].
6. Edit the username to read [email protected] (delete "dun.").
7. Click the back button to return to the list.
8. Select M.IP DEFAULT PROFILE.
9. Repeat steps 5 and 6.
10. Click on MENU and select COMMIT.
You will not be charged for its use.
Thanks, I just tried that and got it working, but I thought that using the Google code was a little safer that it would never be accidentally switched back to paid mode.
I also noticed that when I tried to change the ssid or password that whenever I left the config screen and came back they were back to default values. Have you been able to change the 3g hotspot ssid/password?

Yu have to have a computer link first and then it will keep the settings. Do not know why they set it up this way.
Thanks, got it changed now - in fact I'm using that connection now.
Does this mean the wireless tether project is totally obsolete?

No, for those who do not have 2.2 yet, it is still an option (and a good one). Some people just like using it over the 3g Wireless Hotspot. I have used both and prefer the 3G Wireless Hotspot. I have no issues with it and get easy connects.
Is the equivalent procedure for the Droid X known yet? I've got a friend who just got his X updated to Froyo.

I do not know. Do a search for ESPT for the Droid X and see if it has a simular setup. If it does, the same changes should work for it.
Any updates on this? I'm on a rooted 2.2 incredible and wifi tether will not play with my ipad. Based upon what I've read, the issue surrounds the fact that the mac address refreshes on the app while the ipad does not like this and most ad hoc connections. I've heard that activaiton hack for the stock mobile wifi is no longer valid. Anyone else tethering?
Thanks,
Tremont
The stock 3g hack still works also wireless tether pre15 works perfect for me

I've been using the WiFi Tether App on my Epic 4g (CM9) for quite some time. I haven't had to use it for about a month, but it was working previously.
I tried to use the app today to browse with my iPad. The app initializes and connected without issue. However, my iPad will start to load a web page and stop about half way. Checking the app, I see that the download meter starts to tick upward, but quickly stops. The odd thing is that the mail app is working, downloading mail items at the set interval.
Is anyone else successfully using this app at this time? I'm trying to figure out if Sprint is blocking the packets requested by the iPad, or if I have an issue with the app or phone.
I've tried the following troubleshooting steps: (Note: app was properly configured and working several weeks ago)
- Rebooted the phone
- Installed the latest Beta
- Checked internet connection on the phone (working just fine)
Thanks,

Maybe you can increase the data usage to higher limits. I'm using it right now on my laptop without issues. Also, I would recommend using the beta 11 and not to update to 14, and do not update the program even if it says "Update" available in the PlayStore. For some reason it gives issues.

Actually, I can't stand my iPad. Work gave it to me. I only use it until the apps I need make their way to Andriod.
At home I have my fire-sale Touchpad running CM9. I use that whenever I can.
I'll keep playing with the settings. At least you've confirmed that Sprint is not blocking it. I was suspicious because the data would fly-in for the first 2 seconds before dropping to 0.
Thanks!

Why don't you use the built in tether WiFi AP in cm9?

Ok, here's the oddball thing. It is only my iPad that is being blocked from the data. My CM9 Touchpad (chrome) is able to access the data without an issue.
The only thing that's changes on the iPad is the upgrade to iOS 6, so perhaps the problem is with the iPad and not the tether app. I'm still suspicious that Sprint is picking off Safari packets or something, but that's likely my paranoia kicking in. I'll keep experimenting...

I have had my Galaxy Nexus for just over a year and have been running MMuzzy's version of Android 4.3 since July 30th. Just today, my phone stopped connecting to my home router, and I have literally tried everything to fix the Wi-Fi connection. First I did the simple stuff like restarting the phone and putting it into airplane mode. Then, I tried forgetting the network and re-entering the password, and wiped the cache and the delvik cache. Finally, I reverted back to Android 4.2.2 with a clean install, but I still don't have a working Wi-fi connection.
When I click on the profile, it barely flashes "connecting" and just reverts to "Saved, secured..." I know that this is not a router issue since my laptop, roommate's phones and laptops, and my girlfriend's phone all work fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all? I'm worried that my phone is done-zo.
Have you tried connecting to another wifi network with your phone? You could also try to create a wifi hotspot on another mobile device and connect to it. If both works then you know at least that your GNex' wifi hardware isn't broken.
Total shot in the dark, bur have you updated the ROM to a new version? Maybe the dev implemented a kernel or some change to the kernel that caused wifi problems for you.

Upon waking up, my phone once again reconnected to my Wi-Fi. Totally bizarre, but 4.3 has been a complete crap shoot so far. Thanks for the replies, much appreciated!
probably you only had to reboot your router..something was wrong assigning the ip address to your nexus
Or DHCP pool was full.. Meh. Boring thread.

Just as the title says. I used to tether every day on the train with my tmobile plan. I flashed manually to the official kitkat image a few days ago, and since then my tethering has been blocked by tmobile.
Has anyone else run into this and solved it?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
This is really disconcerting for me. I had my sim in a mobile hotspot with T-mobile and bought the Nexus 7 to put that sim into. I would still be able to tether with the tablet and also use SMS directly from the device instead of accessing it through a webpage. With this update, Google breaks the two features I bought this device for. Not only is this a problem but I can't seem to find a place to actually complain to Google about this and expect to get any kind of answer about it.
Check the nexus 5 q&a section. There is a hack to fix this.

I'm going to flash back to 4.3 tonight to see if i can get my tethering working again.
There is no benefit to 4.4 on my nexus 7 compared to 4.3. Actually, there is only a downside, many apps I use just crash on 4.4.
Will report back tonight if my tether starts to work again.
ok, an update as I said. I flashed the previous version "jls36i" stock image back, and I'm happily tethering once again on the train
Does anyone know where I have to go on the internet to get an answer from Google as to why tethering is disabled on Kit Kat for the Nexus 7? I've tried to find some place to send an email, have a discussion, fill out a web form, or anything but I can't find anyplace that I'm sure will get me an answer back. I'm not a social media person but I will join one if I can get an answer to my questions. Any help would be appreciated.
They've definitely changed something in the past month or two. I was able to tether to my ipod w/o any issues. I hit my 500mb limit today. I figured, no big deal, will just fire up my vpn (L2TP) from the ipod. Done deal, right? Nope. They can still detect it somehow.
I will have to check it out on my pc. I have a hunch they can somehow tell that tethering is enabled on the phone (nexus 5 4.4).
I have spent over a year trying to resolve the tethering issue with T-Mobile and their upsell page that appears after you have maxed your hotspot data limit. It seems that some people can get around it using 'user agent spoofing' while others don't need to. I thought I would share my latest findings on this topic. I have successfully enabled Wi-Fi Tethering without needing to use user agent spoofing when using Windows browsers. This was achieved hours after T-Mobile sent me a text saying my hotspot data limit had been reached. First, a rundown of my Note 3:
T-Mobile Note 3
TWRP 2.8.0.0 Recovery
HyperDrive ROM Release 5
Compulsion Kernel 16
Wifi Tether v3.4 experimental ( http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...e=wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk&can=2&q= )
There are some screenshots below showing my settings:
MSS Clamping (MSS Clamping only appears in the options when using a kernel that supports it).
Routing Fix should be also checked.
Update: Just updated my Hyperdrive ROM to ver. 5 and I had to switch the device profile to Galaxy S3 to get it to work. Not sure why but using the device profile for the Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) stopped working.
UPDATE 2: I also failed to mention that, for me at least, I have to start tethering twice before it shows up as a wireless connection. Not sure why but it just can't be seen the first time you launch it after a fresh boot ...for me anyway. So, if it doesn't work the first time just stop it and fire it up again. Should be golden from then on!
UPDATE 3: Another update? So soon? Well, yes because I seem to keep forgetting to mention important details. A.D.D. at work! Heh! Ok, first off I highly recommend using Googles DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) as you will most likely have problems if you don't. Place them in the ip4 properties of your PC's wireless adapter.
It's important to note that sometimes you will not acquire DNS when connecting to your hotspot. This is fixed by simply selecting the 'T-Mobile Tethering' APN prior to activating Wi-Fi tethering.
I haven't changed anything else from within Android or with any other apps.
Please post your results because defeating the upsell page has been an ongoing problem for me and many others and this has resolved it for me. I have full tethering access on my PC at LTE speeds as though it was a dedicated internet connection.
NO MORE USER AGENT SWITCHING!

Defeating the upsell page is easy
First of all if you can enable the hotspot on your device you can use any mobile device without seeing the upsell page as the system relies on USER AGENT STRINGS to identiry your device. So on windows or mac firefox or chrome install a user agent switcher. Then use it to choose say chrome for android. Simply refresh the page and you are up and running. Some pages will not always display right as you will get the mobile version. You can also run programs such as utorrent and teamviewer without modifications through the hotspot. Any questions just ask..

This works without needing User Agent mods and doesn't trigger the upsell page even after your Hotspot limit has been exceeded.
Nice! !!
Awesome!!! Works like you said. Thx. ...
Thank you so much, this worked great..I use to always have a problem connecting my ps3 to my phone, would get the upsell page immediately, but now it seems to be working fine, I can go online with my ps3 using your settings. Been looking for a long time for a way to do this. Once again thank you. I did not see the option to check MSS clamping, but it seems to work fine.
Can't get this to work on Tweaked 3.9 for the Note 3. Not that it's needed, since native tethering works without any tethering data usage ever being detected. But I've always liked this app and native tethering takes several minutes for data to flow properly.

Did you try it with the Compulsion 16 kernel? I couldn't get it to work originally until I installed it. Not 100% sure that it matters yet as I haven't done any more testing without it or with other kernels. I don't want to mess with it too much as it's my main phone for home/work and home internet.

I have the new hyper drive as well. I have been battling a issue for a few days now and I am so happy I found this. Heres my issue, I use my hot spot as well as teathering every day. But I also tend to flash back and forth between ROMs as well, so its impossible for me to pin point how much hot spot data I used. Any way, it worked fine but now this happens....
first it will connect to my laptop, the phone shows its connected my laptop says connected as well yet it is limited access on the laptop with out internet access. When I switch it off to try again the hot spot on the phone will not even connect. It just fails over and over and over. After a reboot it starts the proccess over again. I am running the hyper drive ROM on my n900t
Is this better than wifi tether router? Because it works really good and i dont even have to setup anything I just turn it on and thats it!!
