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

So I am using Straight Talk ATT... and I realize its against all terms of service and so on...
But it still should work. so far I cant get the APP wifi tether to work or FoxFi says its not available for ATT Nexus 4.
What are you guys using? on any carrier
Use the one built into android...
settings > (under wireless & networks category) more > Tethering and Mobile Hotspot
There are also plenty of widgets in the market that will allow you to use a quick toggle.
Using the setting directly through android doesn't work for some reason for me... My computer never seems to connect

Probably drivers if you're using USB tether. Try Wi-Fi.

That is WiFi... Also tried USB... It connects and gets an IP but no data is transfered. Its sending and receiving but not actual data is working

Try doing it with Open security, change the SSID and if you are using Win 7 make sure you select a profile (home, work, public) it will take a few seconds before it will work even though it is connected and assigned an IP. Also try it on something else, it make be your computer and not the phone.
Also, I find it odd that it only shows up as an Ad-Hoc Network? not an actual AP like normal
Hmm, I'm have the same problem with my Nexus 4. I'm with rogers and I used the sim from my Galaxy Nexus in my Nexus 4. Using the built in tethering Wifi and USB works on my Galaxy Nexus, but the on the Nexus 4, devices can connect but no data is transferred even though data is working.
The only thing I can think of is because I'm using the rogers LTE APN on the N4 but the normal APN on the GN.
Could this be caused by the straight talk APN that I am using? I am having he same type of situation. It connects but no data is transferred.
T-Mobile caught me tethering and now I get redirected to the tethering page

Time to change your user agent on your browser or set up network data encryption on your computer
On the OP's Topic, I also have the issue where I can connect but no data is transferred. Still trying to figure this out, this is the first phone where it has not worked for me.

Just use a different browser, it detects chrome all the time

I found it where if you connect and reconnect, it'll eventually work.
It is a bit buggy how it works but it does work somehow. Just keep trying!

Add "dun" to your APN type.
Tried adding dun and still not working. Any other ideas?

if you tether LTE plan, will you get LTE speeds on the other connecting phones? or just the original host LTE phone
so anyone else have Straight talk and get this to work?
I had the same problem (with T-Mobile), adding "dun" as mayastig suggested did the trick.
Specifically, the APN type for epc.tmobile.com now reads "default,supl,mss,dun".
Sorry to be off the straight talk topic.. don't know about that but I am on the $30 tmob plan.
I just really need to tether maybe twice a month and I can't see spending $15 on that. My question is, of I do it using fox will tmob find out and ban me or something?

So you did this on a T-Mobile prepaid plan and you were able to achieve tethering without T-Mobile cutting you off?

I thought I figured out how to Tether using Bluetooth. I was interested in using this method -- primarily for my iPad 2 -- instead of rooting (which I already am) and using WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod which seems to work well.
I was able to connect my iPad 2 via Bluetooth and share my WiFi connection on my GN2. However, it doesn't seem to work when WiFi is off and I try to use 3G. I get this Error #67: Registration failure. Your data service username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again (see attached). If I turn WiFi back on, it won't connect to the router -- until I turn off Bluetooth. The I can connect via 3G or WiFi again.
I'm wondering if this is happening because I don't have the WiFi Tethering package with Sprint?
yes the Sprint tethering package enables both forms of wireless tethering. use open garden for Bluetooth or just use the wifi in the ****pad

That Open Garden app is pretty cool. Unfortunately there isn't an iOS version for my iPad... Oh well, I can use it on my laptops.

Hi,
I both have a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 2013, and just this morning, I don't have internet connection even though both of my devices are connected to our home WiFi. The weird thing is that all of our other wireless devices here in our home are working fine. I'm on my laptop connected on WiFi as we speak (write).
My brothers' smartphones are all working fine. They have an Alcatel, a Samsung Note 1 and 2. I have an old Samsung Galaxy Ace, and it can connect to the internet too.
The weird thing is that it happened simultaneously with both of my Nexus devices. I have my Galaxy Nexus for almost two years already, and I never experienced this before. I got my Nexus 7 just this December 2013, and it has been working fine until this morning.
My Galaxy Nexus is on stock 4.3 and rooted. My Nexus 7 is on stock 4.4.2 and rooted as well.
I've tried restarting both of my Nexus, and tried removing WiFi settings and reconfigure them again.
I'm not sure on how to proceed on this matter.
Thanks in advance.
Update:
I left my Galaxy Nexus for a while, and I got a connection. I was about to hard reset my wireless router.
My Nexus 7 is still the same. It's like having a limited or no connectivity on a PC/laptop.
What is your home WiFi? A/b/g/n ?
Nam Huy Linux http://namhuy.net
By chance, would you happen to be using any Bluetooth accessories?
No. I don't have any Bluetooth connections here at home.
My home WiFi is set to mix of A/b/g/n.
Can you access a website through ip address instead of url? (to exclude dns issues), do you use any mod which you flash on both?

The first thing to try is definitely to reset your WiFi router.

I did hard reset my WiFi router a dozen of times, and it's still the same.
The visiting a site through IP address did not work as well. My mobile devices aren't connecting to the internet.

Right now, I've got connection. Out of my frustration, I told my older brother about it. When I woke up, I've got connection. I asked him about it, he' saying about the MAC address clone.

Is your router security setting set to transmit it's ssid? Android has problems connecting if it's hidden :silly: sounds to me like your DNS server isn't working properly though.
It has been hidden ever since. We've been using it that way for more than two years. It just acted up like this recently.

Have you tried this?
I think I know the reason why. Apparently, my older brother is a Cisco certified professional, and he has been playing with the settings on both of the router and modem.
He created an enterprise-like policy on our home network and was affecting our devices. He's such a scumbag!

When you know a lot in these matters you end up deleting essential files.?
Just flash stock recovery and you are good to go!

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?
