Used ping-pong root, even have the native app unblocked with Galaxytools/idoneapps. I can turn on the hotspot, and connect to it, but there is no internet connection. Phone is working fine on 4G, and the APN's are set to default,mms,dun
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I have used the Motorola application 3G Mobile Hotspot to share 3G internet via Wifi (simple SSID, WPA2, 10 character password, channel 11). It crashed repeatedly after some minutes: no response, disabling not possible, phone restart required. On the Wifi computer I used HTTP/HTTPS, Skype and PPTP-VPN.
Second bad point: Switching hotspot on disables Bluetooth – and therefore listening to the music via Bluetooth headphone in my case.
Build Number is latest JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0
Now I’m using Wireless Tether for Root Users (phone simply rooted using RyanZA’s z4root) – seems to be reliable, but only wifi ad-hoc support (no infrastructure mode).
Can anyone confirm this?
Jellybean 4.1.1
T-Mobile SIM
Kernel 3.0.31 -g6fb96c9
Build JR003C
Rooted using Wug's Root Toolkit v1.5.2
Permanent CWM installation
Running Root Check Basic shows my device does have root access.
1. The network doesn't even show up on any devices with the following programs:
Wireless Tether for Root Users: 3.1 BETA14
Wireless Tether for Root Users: whatever is on the Market right now
OpenGarden
Barnacle
When I click to see the log it says it can't be found.
2. Using the built-in hotspot function means I'm able to see and find the tethering network, but after connecting to it there is never internet access. I ran the built-in hotspot with the other tether programs both installed and uninstalled.
Encryption and Passwords are all set to off for both methods.
EDIT:
I erased everything. The following is on a brand new install of rooted Jellybean. NOTHING else has been installed on it yet other than unlocking and rooting it via Wug's.
Built-in hotspot works. Will this incur tethering charges on T-Mobile?
Barnacle - WIFI: Failed to connect to supplicant: No such file or directory. Stopped unexpectedly! Can't see the
Wireless Tether for Root Users: 3.1 BETA14 - can't see the tether's wifi
Open Garden - right after granting SU permission it crashes. On re-open it says "unable in install... (couldn't catch it before it disappeared). When I go to view the log I get unable to open log file. File doesn't exist!
Have you tried foxfi? Worked when I had T-Mobile. Just moved to verizon and it still works.

FoxFi does not work. Error starting WiFi tether. Please use Bluetooth DUN. This happens both when I have the WiFi already turned on or off.
After uninstalling a host of somewhat recommended VOIP products I got at least the built-in Hotspot and USB Tether features to work: uninstalled AutoAir (always ensures at least one of either 3G or WiFi is on to intercept VOIP calls), Plane Mode Tweaker (allows WiFi to still work in airplane mode), Y5 Battery Saver (automatically connects to known WiFi access points. Turns off WiFi automatically otherwise.
I'm not sure which one of the 3 apps above is the culprit.
But basically: none of the 3rd party tethering apps work.
Only the built-in apps work, and now I'm very concerned that I will be charged for tethering on my T-Mobile prepaid $30/month plan.
EDIT: The built-in WiFi tether works but grinds to a halt when you turn the screen of the phone off. When the screen is on it works better. USB tethering doesn't seem to be affected. I can't get Bluetooth DUN to work because my Win7 computer can't find the necessary drivers for the Nexus.
Don't worry about T-Mo charging you for tethering. If they detect tethering your web browser will display a message linking you to their website. Just don't stream any video or download any obscenely large (300 mb+) files and you should be fine.
I'm in the same boat sort. I can. Get blue tooth tethering to work but not WiFi. Keeps deselecting the enable WiFi in settings automatically. Is this not possible thru verizon even when rooted?

I subscribe to a tethering plan, but mobile hotspot isn't working.
Setting network security to "Open" works, but otherwise, if I use wpa or wpa2, no
client devices (a HTC one S, toshiba laptop running linux) will connect. They
just attempt to connect and give up without any type of diagnostic message.
I really hope I don't have to reset the phone to defaults after setting everything up.

I do have hotspot active on the account. As I said, it works If I set the security settings to none.
Also if i put my SIM into my HTC one S, mobile hotspot works there with WPA2.
It's been really iffy for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'll connect with a laptop but have limited connectivity. Not sure if it's something on T-Mobile's end of the phone itself. Barnacle doesn't work great either.

Did you add the tethered device's (i.e. your laptop) MAC address?
In TMO's stock firmware, you have to add the MAC addresses that are allowed to connect. I did not see anyway to turn this requirement off, nor did I see it documented anywhere.
I am still on a grandfathered plan and would like to keep it.
When I connect to my work network, it routes all traffic... Vpn and random Internet traffic through the vpn tunnel..
If i tether while I'm connected to my vpn, can att detect it? I would think not since it's encrypted?? Or is there something I'm missing?
I'm worried that tethering would force it to use atts gateway/ip instead of the vpn.
Does anybody know?
Thank you!

guess i'll find out...
couldn't get wifi tethering working.. anytime i enabled it 'settings' would FC (maybe because i froze tethering provision apk?
so i tried foxfi - and that wifi tether would turn on - but it would change the routing tables of my vpn.. and use normal 4g/att internet
but i have bluetooth on my laptop!
connected to vpn on phone, enabled bluetooth DUN on foxfi - and on my pc when i check my ip on third party websites (i.e nwtools.com) , it shows the IP of my VPN....
so far so good, i hope they can't see this traffic.
please search before posting new threads. there's multiple threads about this topic.
I have Private Internet Access as my VPN and I wanna use it on my phone to allow me to have a Wifi portable hotspot going through the VPN.... Only thing is, at the moment I am reliant on using my computers VPN applications which isnt ideal if the signal and connection to the VPN drops as I get taken offline and I have to turn cellular data on and off again to get it back up and running....
Any solutions? I have tried that tethering app from 2009 and that didnt work at all. Any ideas? Thanks!

Unfortunately the stock Android tethering application does not work with VPNs. This limitation is an oversight in the software and not a system limitation.
However there is an application called ClockworkMod Tether that will allow you to tether and use a VPN at the same time. In fact it makes use of the standard tethering application and then fixes up the routing information to make it work.
This application does not require you to root your phone but you do need to run software on the computer that you wish to connect to your phone. Also this only works for USB tethering at the moment.
There are other alternatives to ClockworkMod Tether, if you wish to try them, including PDANet.
Hope it could help
