I have tether and devices connect, but do not work. Should have stuck to my initial plan and just stayed on KK.

Works for me. Upgraded via recovery and actually haven't had any issues in LP. SDcard, tethering, etc all work great. You're talking WiFi tethering right? I'd like Bluetooth, but that's not in the cards it seems.

Yeah wifi tether, It connects but no data

Did you select 2.4Ghz or 5? I could not connect my tablet to 5Ghz, but the 2.4 worked fine...

I'm pretty sure its set to 2.4, I'm using the app called wifi tether router. Because i can't get into the tether settings because of xposed.

[Q] Want to return to stock but don't want to lose wifi tethering.

I'm considering flashing a bone stock sense 2.1 rom but I don't want to lose the ability to use wifi tethering. By that I mean having to pay through verizon for tethering when I can use it freely on my sense 3.5 rom. Is there any way I can get around the stock verizon wifi tether option?

Is anyone able to get android-wifi-tether to work on LG2?

I just rooted (teamepic cwm+root.zip) and installed the android wifi tether. Wifi tether is not working. I went to the QBKing thread in development, and see that others are having similar wifi tether problems. Does anyone have wifi tether working on an LG2 release? I am considering flashing back to a stock LF9 if sprint managed to bork the wifi tether with their latest release.
TIA.
works for me
No problems for me on LG2. What exactly is the problem?

After my laptop connects to the tether, I can't actually get out to the internet. It's like the NAT is not working. checking the IP stack on my laptop, I am getting the right ip address, gatway, etc assigned. Wifi tether shows the laptop connected. But I can't do anything.
I followed the QBKING video step by step (except using a different password for encryption). I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (LTE/CDMA) profile selected. I've tried some others in desperation, but none are working.
I think I'll try uninstall/reinstall of wifi tether, or maybe just use foxfi now that i am rooted.
go to settings of the wifi tether app if you havent already and set it to enable the security settings so that youll need a password on any device you enable to use your phones internet signal and that should work because i was having that problem with the wifi tether app on my evo 3d and when i enabled security protection that allowed additional devices to connect to the internet. on my galaxy s3 i havent had any problems like that cause i intiially started with this method and ive been up and running just fine and im in houston so it seems the 4g lte is up and running here cause my phone shows 4g at the top for signal and my pages load up on the phones web searches faster than when its connected to my uverse wireless modem. hope this helps you man.

Ok if you didn't already, try gnex gsm instead. Also does the tether app show any numbers moving or do they stay at 0.0. Make sure your version of the tether app is up to date as well. And disable wake lock is unchecked in settings
I had the same issues as the op. With wireless tether change profile to galaxy nexus gsm not cdma and you must use access control. Then you should PROFIT......

Are you using the "WiFi for Rooted Users" app? If so be sure to change your Device-Profile.

If your using wireless tether go to profile change to galaxy nexus gsm then enable access control and routing fix checked then you should be good.

Has anyone had a chance to try this? Did it fix the intermittent connection problems? I am going to try it later, because wifi tether is still not working for me (LG8) using Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE and with the access control disabled. I am just curious to see if anyone has this working as using the GSM profile is counter-intuitive for Sprint.

I tried it and the wifi tether still doesn't work. Half the time I start it, it requests Superuser and "starts" but there is no SSID being broadcast and I don't think the wifi radio is actually turned on. Every once in a while, it will broadcast the SSID, and I can connect but the up/down data stay at 0.00kb. Other times, I can connect, and I see the up/down data slowly incrementing, but I can't actually get out to the internet (or FTP, or telnet or....).
I guess I'm just fooked until foxfi or android wifi tether for root actually release a specifically-supported SGS3 version of their apps.
My issues were i could see the ap but not fully connect or allow internet access. Make sure your using access control it will not work with out it. Also make sure you have routing fix checked and use auto not ad hoc.

wifi tether app jb 4.2.1

I was wondering if anyone knew of a wifi tether app that works with 4.2.1?? the built in wifi tether app does work for me all the time
Many roms have tether built in so no app needed. Not sure of any apps that work for 4.2.1

I'm on a Gnex lte with a verizon unlimited plan. I'm running CM 10.1. the rom's hotspot shows up to connect, can't connect with my laptop, can connect on the ipad but dns error and no internet. WiFi tether app, both from playstore and beta3 version doesn't seem to broadcast a signal recognizable by either my laptop or the ipad. I'm wondering if the app just isn't working right or if verizon is blocking my tethering.

I have the the same problem. And my tablet connects to my phone no problem. So just because your laptop connects, doesn't mean the Xbox will, because mine won't. The problem is specifically with the Xbox not working all of a sudden when trying to tether using native or the tether app on 4.2.1. I hope somebody can find a solution soon because I love the new OS and really don't want to revert back.
i have spent two days trying to resolve my issue with wifi tether as well. i've tried 4..2.1 aokp (w/ stock kernel) and CM10.1. with both i've tried using wifi tether with my windows 7 laptop, to no avail. i have tried using open, wpa and wpa2. wifi tether does not work for me with any 4.2 roms. i finally gave up and went back to using my aokp build 5 where native wifi tether works normally.
**I found that Bluetooth tether works, but at an obvious sacrifice of bandwidth speed. wifi tether still does not work.
I'm on AOKP 4.2.1 for Galaxy S3, i747. Same thing, no wifi tethering.
"everyone" keeps saying it will work when there is no encryption, which yes.. others can connect to the network, however, they cannot run data/speedtest.
if you download the wifi tether app for root users ( WiFi Tether for Root Users
Müller, Lemons, Buxton )
it will have troubles starting and configuring AP.
I am having the exact same problem with mmuzzy image 4.2.1 on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I did find that svtp - lite tethering app works but 14.99 for the pro version no way.

Same issue on stock 4.2.1 takju. My tablets connects to my phone but can't get internet access through my phone. Used to work fine but ever since 4.1.2 its broken.

Have you guys tried "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin? I have seen reports that it still works with 4.2.1, but can't confirm it myself since I am on 4.1.1 atm.
The app does not provide hotspot functionality per se. It is a widget to toggle the built-in hotspot on and off. It bypasses the annoying carrier check if you have tether plan or not (for those of us that are still enjoying grandfathered unlimited data).
The app also does not require root.
Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fattin.togglewidget.hotspot
wifi tether (native) now works on my phone after 4.2.1 aokp build 1 and build 2 did not work. again aokp 4.2.1 mr1 build 3 has a working wifi tether.
I too have had problems with numerous roms and tether. Just today I installed AOSPA 3.0 on my toro and guess what?
NO WIFI TETHER. Everything else was awesome but I have to have tethering when I'm at home.
So, I roll back to my trusty old CM 10.1 01/02/13 nightly build that runs great and has WORKING wifi tether. Good luck.

I know this doesn't help the OP but I just have to THANK YOU for this suggestion. The " Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin along with Foxfi and PDANet works wonderfully on my Verizon Gnex stock unrooted. So, I know its only 4.1.1. We'll see if we ever get 4.2, but in the meantime, this is way better than only being able to connect my Nexus 7 with Bluetooth because of the carrier check.

FoxFi and CM10.1.

So I've tried to use FoxFi/PDANet+ on a TouchWiz ROM and it activates Sprint Hotspot. Not doing that. So I flash a CM10.1 ROM and it says "Hotspot is active" internally, not from FoxFi, so that means it's using Sprint's hotspot or something.
I disabled the hotspot and FoxFi works, but I'm too scared to use it because I think Sprint will catch me.
Is there a way to get it working silently? Is that what WiFi Tether is for?
Not sure exactly what you are asking but CM10.1 has native tethering via USB, bluetooth, or wifi. I use it all the time. You don't need FoxFi.

[Q] Wifi tethering on M8(5.0.1)

Hi guys!
I m wondering if anybody does have wifi-tethering issue on M8 stock/unrooted.
It worked once at home and then nothing at all.
Is this because of outdated driver ? or should i use app from GooglePlay ?
Any advices??
P.s: usb tethering works however.

Unlikely, since you are on stock unrooted (assume this means never modded) Lollipop, your firmware should be up to date.

For one thing, while I'm not sure, I don't think its technically possible for the phone to use its WiFi modem as a "sender" (router) and as a "receiver" at the same time.
Another thing, is if you already have your home WiFi network available, why not just tether the laptop directly instead of needlessly having the phone as a middle man? Using the phone as a WiFi hotspot basically defeats the purpose. Probably will even slow down the data connection to the laptop.

Actually the bandwidth speed on wifi tethering using mobile data is 2x times better than my home Wifi network. Obviously because of the 4G network.
it s 3mps vs 6-7mps when downloading..

You must have a really poor home internet connection and/or router, then.
My cable internet is around 80 Mbps, and my 14 year old WRT54 is spec'ed for 54 Mbps.

I was misleading a little bit
My internet connection is actually between 60-70 mbps on wireless router.
But i m using Internet Download Manager while downloading stuff from the internet and the transfer rate, it says, is about 2 mbps.
