Have looked for help everywhere but this exact issue seems to be undiscussed.
I am using the s4mini in the UK on 3. I have an unlimited tethering plan which the carrier support desk think is working just fine.
My devices can all connect to the hotspot or USB tether and windows even says it has internet access. However, no data is downloaded and 'page cannot be displayed' or time out messages come up in the browser.
Can't upload screenshot of phone info as laptop has no connection.
Any help please?
Is this in the correct forum?

Hi,
I had this working earlier and all of a sudden it has stopped. I am able to connect to my Evo but once connected, I am not given access to the Internet. I have no clue why. Once I go back to my home wireless network, the Internet works just fine.
I am using the newest version of the wireless tether software and am using Fresh-evo-3.2.0.0. I am also using Widows 7 x64. It is set up as my home network to allow access as well. Cannot figure out what is going on. Seems like something is blocking it.
Will be back online in the am to check for replies and to answer any questions if need be so please do not think I am ignoring anyone that may reply to this tonight.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Guess we have no redeye's on this site, lol.
Anyways, I am up and ready to accept any help that can be given on this subject
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem when I first flashed Fresh 3.2. I actually had to uninstall the pre8 wireless tether, and install pre7 wireless tether and it worked just fine.
I have tried pre7, pre8 and pre9 and none of them are giving me Net access. I can connect to all 3 with my laptop but that is as far as it goes. I have rebooted the phone after each uninstall as well. Still stumped...
Thanks for your reply!
Okay, I just tried this on another computer of mine and same thing...in the Network and Sharing Center it shows access type as having No Internet Access yet it is a private network and the computer is connected.
Please help?

Well you can do it without an app as well so no need to play around with apps.

All, I've been searching my brains out looking for a solution.
I am on the Jedi Elite Rom, coming from the Wicked Rom both with SaberKernal 9.5. I cant get the MHS to work with either ROM (With WIckedm it worked for a day or so and then stopped)
I can get the phone to connect to my tablet (Asus 300TF) but no internet access. The Mobile Hot spot settings show that the tablet is connected and talking.
Thinking that there may be an app that's causing the trouble, I just did a fresh install of the Jedi Rom completely barebones - in the installer, I didnt select any apps, mods, etc. I have also tried connecting to my laptop, and the same thing will happen. The phone will connect to the laptop but no internet access
What's blocking my access? Is it the Kernal?'
Edit: I just switched to leanKernal and that made no difference. Also, I have tried connecting with the MHSP both Open and default security
Google is the only site that works on both my PC and tablet. Same thing with USB tethering on the laptop. The laptop recognizes the phone as a modem, says I have an internet connection, but wont push any data through EXCEPT Google.com
I just got off the phone with T-Mobile tech support and they made me turn off the LTE now I am just on 4G with APN epc.tmobile.com That worked but the tether connection is stupid slow. They put a ticket in for me. Any help woud still be appreciated
So I'm almost lost on where to begin. I feel like I have tried everything but here we go.
Sgh m919 4.4.2 rooted stock. Rooted via towel root, Knox warranty void 0x0
Plan: unlimited everything (unlimited 4G lte all the time) 2 lines 5gb hotspot for $100
So for a long time I used wifi tether router to create a hotspot for other devices like ps3s and computers to connect to. This would use my unlimited mobile data and wouldn't touch my regular hotspot count. It worked amazingly! But at some point it started to use my regular hotspot and I was directed to the dreaded tmobile upsell page. Well this pretty much ruined my life because I live in a place that provides Internet and won't let you get your own and it's super slow. Like less then 1mb per sec slow. .. So i have been desperately trying to find a work around. I had countless emails with the developer with the end result being him saying here are some vpns people say they have had success with I can help you no further. So i tried those but it did not seem to work at all. I tried using several vpn applications with wifi tether router. Vpn applications with it all built into the app and you just have to hit connect to open vpn. Then I found these guides and tried this method: http://kingoftweaks.blogspot.ae/2014/03/wifi-hotspot-through-vpn.html?m=1
http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/gu...phone-vpn-gateway-bypass-tethering-block.html
but that didn't seem to work either. So i went back to the past and tried using other methods from before rooting my phone. In the past I would use pdanet+ to usb tether a windows 7 laptop and use the Internet connection sharing function to share the Internet connection from pdanet to a router plugged in via ethernet cable. It worked back then and worked this time, for the most part. You have to use hide tether usage level 1 to bypass the upsell page. In the past this wasn't a problem. I could do anything just as if connected to my hotspot. But now I can't get netflix to work on anything but a mobile device. Not my ps3, computers, smart tv, nothing. User agent switchers don't solve the problem. So this gave me another idea. Try to use the computer as a vpn gateway. So i downloaded open vpn client and tried some free vpns. I wasn't using pdanet at this point. I was trying to connect the computer to wifi tether router and basically encrypt all Internet traffic from my isp (tmobile) using a vpn. So if I start the vpn and am connected to the phone via wifi and share the wifi connection to the router I still hit the upsell page or it will keep on trying to load Web pages in the browser but will never load them. So when I use open vpn client on widows 7 it creates it's own network adapter. So i tried to share that to the router and connect another computer. It barely worked, speed was awful according to speedtest.net . While running vpn I can watch netflix after downloading Microsoft silver light on computer running vpn but not very well. So i thought maybe I could use my computer as a vpn server but was unsuccessful. I tried fiddler in the past but all it did was mess with my computer. I tried wireless tether for root users and the treve mod version, this guide

I really need help figuring out how to get tethering working again.
My needs are complicated as well. I wasn't to keep Knox unvoided for one. I as well would like to be somewhat mobile with my phone. I don't want to have to keep it plugged into the computer all the time to have Internet access. Which means even if i get pdanet working with Netflix that's just temporary. Ultimately i would like to use just my phone but know that just may not be possible.
Ultimate goal: wireless tether using just phone with good speeds, ping/latency.
Acceptable goal: wireless tether to computer and share internet connection through router to maintain mobility with phone.
Temporary goal: get netflix working with pda net usb tethering.
I need to be able to use netflix on ps3, computer, and smart tv.
My ideas that I have no idea how to implement.
Use the computer to encrypt data from tmobile, vpn? Proxy? Ssh tunnel?
Use another phone to pick up the wireless tether router hotspot and somehow force pdanet to use the wifi connection of that phone instead of the mobile data it tries to use normally or mask the wifi connection as the mobile data connection or something. Basically use pdanet to share the extra phones wifi connection so I have mobility with my actual phone.
Ps. When using wifi tether router other andriod devices can connect and use application like normal but nothing else.
Can anyone help me get my tethering working again? I need help really bad and would greatly appreciate it.
No one wants to say it, so I will.
You need to get yourself some good old fashioned Internet access from an Internet provider.
Tmobile is on to your data abuse and put a jihad on your data black hole.
Downgrade your Tmo plan and buy into some Internet access from your local provider.

Has anyone found a solution to the OPs concern for how to get tethering working again through T-Mobile? It use to be that you could use an app like: Tether (from Clockwork Mod) or EasyTether (from Play Store) to get around T-Mobile's restriction on tethering; however, those don't seem to work anymore (ever with user agent spoofing) - has anyone found a current solution for tethering on T-Mobile?
No.

Whatever VPN witchcraft PdaNet+ uses to hide tether usage makes Netflix unusable on a PC. The way around this is to unhide the tether usage, load whatever it is on Netflix you want to watch (once the red circle starts spinning is good enough), then re-hide the tether usage. I don't know if doing the same will let Netflix work properly on your other devices, as I've never tried. I don't have Netflix anymore, so I can't try with my TV's Netflix app.
It's a nuisance, but it's something one just has to put up with if you're using your phone plan as your home internet. I don't understand the reason this happens. Websites still detect your Windows version and browser just fine, yet Netflix thinks you're incompatible for some reason.
FWIW, Amazon Prime doesn't have this problem.
I also don't know why WiFi Tether Router stopped working for you. It works fine for me.
