I had that problem a while back for no apparent reason and resetting the router fixed it. It was just my first instinct since I work in tech support and our first commandment is "Thou shalt reboot it." I suspect the DHCP table was full or something, but it hasn't happened since, so I haven't been motivated enough to look for the cause.
try disable the networkdata connection
then turn off wifi an turn it on again
Can you be more specific about the type of Wifi your using at your pc??? (ap,wifi card,etc?)
Reset router (virgin super hub) and all works well. Why didn't I think of that lol

Hi, I have this problem with my Virgin Superhub. Happens usually once a week. nothing but trouble with Superhub since getting it 6 weeks ago (
I was having signal go in and out at work all day yesterday, and it turns out Sprint was replacing a bunch of hardware in my area (Atlanta). Now, I cannot get wifi tether to work. My computer will connect, but it will not get internet. Wired tether works fine. I've tried the Sprint Hotspot in Calkulin's 3.0, and also the Hotspot in the ICS Goodness. I've also tried Open Garden, Wifi Tether for Root, and Fox__* (I can't remember the exact name).
It will not connect. Tried different roms, 3g/4g, resetting network ##72382# or whatever that code is, did a complete reset, tried different roms, etc.
The only thing I can conclude is that whatever Sprint updated here locally fixed this loophole for the hacked hotspot. Atlanta is an "A" market, and typically one of the first to get updated, so if this is the case, maybe nobody else is seeing it
Any ideas on what else I can try?? I need this wifi tether desperately.
have you tried foxfi?

I am not a dev, nor do I know a lot about anything. I seriously doubt changing tower hardware would "fix" a software workaround in a phone for internet sharing. I don't have an answer as to why or why not, but it sounds highly unlikely. I am speculating the two are not related.

Had this same problem about a year or so ago. Download "Root Checker" from Google Play. I forgot why but sometimes Root will be lost but your phone will say you are rooted. I don't remember the details. All you have to do is Root again if this is the case.
Try going into superuser app and updating the su binary, when mine get outdated sometimes wifi tether quits working but other root apps will still work.

Yes, no go on that one as well. No matter the program, I get the issue with my computer "unable to connect" on Windows 7, and also limited/no connectivity with Windows XP..
How can I generate a log to find out what's going on? I'm starting to get the feeling it has something to do w/ wifi driver, although wifi works fine, 4g works fine, 3g works, and wired tether works fine, I cannot get wireless tether to work with 3g or 4g..
Tried Sprint Hotspot, Wireless Tether (for root), Open Garden, Foxfi..

I agree, however, I'm assuming there's also an upgrade in software to go along with hardware changes, and they may have rolled something out at the same time. It could be a coincidence, but I've never had a problem before.

Ok, this is interesting. Do you all know if Wifi tether has always been ad hoc? I thought it used to show up as an AP in Windows.
Also, once I updated SU, my XP would connect to Wifi Tether only, but then tried the Win 7 and gave me the same "unable to connect" box. Now, neither of them work again.
Ideas? How to log, etc?
Do you all know now LAN settings would affect connectivity?
It seems Wired Tether uses 172.20.xx.xxx/30 while I believe the others were using 192.168.2.0 or 192.168.1.1, etc.
I'm in the Atlanta area (North West - Kennesaw/Acworth). I use WiFi Tether (the open source app not the built in), just tested it, I was able to connect and use the internet from my Nexus 7.

Foxfi is broken on the SE4GT since the ICS update.
Installation instructions (for Sprint Users):
1. Make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked in phone Settings (under Applications or Developer).
2. Tap on the following links to download the apk file for FoxFi.
3. From phone notifications select the downloaded file. This will install FoxFi.
FoxFi latest version: 1.91.3
*Support for the new Galaxy S3 and the new ICS update for Epic Touch are being worked on. Should be compatible soon in a future update.

I see people struggling with the all over this site
This works ,,NP at all

As far as I know, the built in sprint hotspot is the only way to get infrastructure mode. All others are adhoc. If there is a setting for it for a profile, I think I remember reading somewhere to pick the galaxy nexus profile.
I just tried Wifi Tether in netd mode and it worked as Infrastructure. Client was Win7 x64.
Good to know too that I have a backup internet source if the main goes out. Not great but better than nothing.
Hello... i have a question regarding wifi hotspot/tethering with samsung note2 gt-n7100..i try to set up my phone as a wifi hotspot..the other device can detect the wifi and connect but the problem is the device can't use it for internet browsing..it just connected to my device but when try to browse to google it stuck. could anyone clarify the exact method to do this trick? or can u suggest any third party app that are fully working with note2 for this purpose? i tried with wifi tether for root user but no luck.. my device is rooted with cfroot and running latest alj3 stock rom...tq
Same here with Note I
It is connected,but no Internet access,even tough the internet is working inside of Note.
This happens mostly,but sometimes it works. There is no firewall,no different settings on receiving side.
Actually,right now it is working... but how long?
same problem. please help
Check your Note's APN settings for any proxies. A proxy can cause that.

Here workin fine and replying this with using tether
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.
a maguro sent this.
When I've used this app before, the legal way, the app would work for a limited amount of time and the the devices connecting to my phone would rapidly connect and disconnect. This is visible on both my phone and the sharing device. Sometimes I could reset the problem by altering the wifi name or password or adjusting other settings, but usually the issue returned within 20 minutes.
I called T-Mobile and they were convinced I was having this problem because I rooted my device,so I unrooted and wiped my device, but the problem was still there. Then I called T-Mobile again and gold them that I thought it was a hardware issue causing the problem. I got a new phone, and kept it stock, but the problem started up again. I called T-Mobile again and they felt that it was an app causing the problem, so they had me reboot in safe mode to prove it, but the problem persisted. At this point, they suggested that I contact Samsung directly to figure out the issue. When I was rooted, I was on KK, and now I'm on L.
Any ideas? Are there any other way I can share my Internet wirelessly while completely avoiding the T-Mobile app?
Lol maybe try the illegal way. Root your phone
