Finally got around to rooting my phone and installing WTR and IF it even broadcasts that there is an open connection it won't let me connect to anything on the Web. If I change any of the settings it doesn't show up on the list of my computer or my tablet wtf?

So basically what I want to do is this. I'm currently in a situation where the hard internet line to my pc doesn't work but the WiFi does. Is there any way I could connect my phone to my pc with usb and have it tether the WiFi connection? I know I could use data, but I only have a gig so would like to avoid that. Tried searching around but not really sure to look for.
Thanks!

You can try to disable data on your phone to be sure it won't use your data and try to tether the WiFi. I have no idea if it will work

Try clockworkmod tether manger program. It uses a USB connection to of and a gateway system to connect to it. If the internet connection going to the phone is WiFi it should work. You do have to install the gateway program to your computer though but its a small program

Is there a way to get my data FROM my PC as opposed to providing data to my PC?
I fly sometimes and there is in flight internet. Yes I can connect from my device but them I have to disconnect my computer. Instead I want to be able to plug in my USB and get the data from the PC. anyone know how to do this?
When I had and HD2 there was a great connectivity app in wm6.5 that allowed WiFi in and wifi or Bluetooth tether out, or USB out. Etc. Anyone know of such an app?

Under the trevemod setup for our s4 , there are many replies by many xda members who are having trouble with the new hotspot shield vpn connection..
For me unlike the new version the old version it would initially connect on any device I had.
This device "s4 and the NEW updated hotspot vpn shield won't connect some say...
It just says connecting turns yellow then stops icon turns red back and forth.
EDIT: FIX
Restart device after you have vpn shield installed and tether set up.
THE Vpn shield will connect green
:thumbup:
You could try infamous rom. Has native tethering to an extent. Have to set it up in settings and then turn it on through a widget from play store.

It has never worked for me. I still get the my tmobile page everytime I use tethering.
The method worked for me, Just install Hspot vpn shield ..and reboot it does take 5-10seconds longer than the older version app used to take to connect green, but it will.

Hi
Can anybody steer me in the right direction. I have a nx7 2013 I want to connect it to a WiFi network but it won't connect, just goes from connecting to saved, help desk won't help, so I thought if I can get my phone to connect to WiFi network I can then connect my tablet to network through phone by setting up WiFi hotspot ( think this is right). I have never set up a WiFi hotspot so am a newbie at this can anybody help or know where there are some simple instructions. Thanks

As far as hotspot goes, I don't think you can get it through wifi. It has to come from your cellular data. Just be aware that you will be using your phone data. Do you need directions to set up hotspot? It depends on your device and your carrier. On GP devices, it's under wireless and networks>more. It should be somewhere in network/wireless settings. When you activate it, your device will generate an ssid and a passcode to use for connecting devices.
However, your tab will use its WiFi to connect to the phone's hotspot so if that works, I'd say that you either typed in the wrong security code on your N7, or your router needs a reboot-even if every other device connects to it.

Hi thanks, the WiFi network im trying to connect to I have no control over or access to router etc. I thought / hoped I could connect phone to WiFi network then connect tablet to phone so tablet is connecting to WiFi network through phone, is this possible.

As I stated, I don't think that's possible as the hotspot is run through the phone's modem. Have you tried connecting to a public wifi such as Starbuck's, McDonald's, your grocery store or other?

It's not possible that I know of.
My tablet will connect to other networks no problems just this one it won't for some reason.

I've found that it happens--possibly ip shuffle--which is why I suggested rebooting router. I'm assuming other devices (your phone, in particular) are successfully connecting to this wifi.

Yeah other things connect just my tablet which is the one thing I want to connect, looks like I'm stuck as unable to reboot router and the companies help desk are no help, thanks anyway for your help.
