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Is this because of outdated driver ?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.

WiFi tethering has worked fine for me on a variety of stock/custom ROMs: stock Dev Edition, SD Sense 7, LeeDroid.

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

I can see wifi tethering on my network list but i can t connect to it. I get dns error.

A wireless adapter on your laptop? Try another laptop or other device (tablet, etc.) to eliminate that as the problem.

It would be helpful and courteous for you to post the solution. Both for curiosity of those that have tried to help; or possible future use by others with the same/similar issue.

4G switched on, or cell data not switched on?
If just 4G, I don't see why tethering would be blocked (should work fine on 3G).

I meant cell data (2G,3G,4G) not switched on.
I thought actually that wifi tethering can use my private wifi when at home.

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.

maybe tri the wifi router cab should be floating around here somewhere
Be careful though...depending on your carrier, and their data plan, it might be considered tethering, and they could sock you for a huge fee if you get silly downloading a ton of stuff. I use mine once in a while, to check email or one or two web pages, when I'm in an area where I don't have wi-fi for my laptop.

In addition, there is a standard application on WM called Internet Sharing - it's for tethering via a USB cable.

I'm on Tmobile and can't seem to get this to work. The WiFi Router sharing works fine, but the USB cable does not. It says it's connected to the internet but nothing ever happens and windows network troubleshooting says it can't resolve a DNS server. I'd just use the WiFi but I don't have a card in my desktop. Any suggestions?

If you're attempting to use the Internet Sharing app to no avail, try changing the Network Connection drop down, inside of the app. Try selecting T-Mobile Data, as opposed to T-Mobile Internet, and it should work for ya...peace...

That drop down has TMo Data, TMo MMS, and TMo WModem Link. I was using data like you said, and it didn't work. You can also set up new connections or edit the config on existing but nothing stands out as out of place to me.
My epic 4g touch is rooted, and I have both wifi tether and barnacle on the phone. I've been trying to connect my Asus G50 to it for a day and a half now with no success. I can see the network but cannot join. What has been even more frustrating is that I have been able to fully connect with other computers. So I know it's something with my laptop, but I cant figure out what, I've reinstalled the drivers, I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the wireless device. (which sucks because I know I just lost all my other wifi info's).
I'm really not sure what the next step here is and I could really use some help.
anyone have any ideas?
Wifi tether is crap.... Can someone please hack sprint hotspot app like on epic og?

You are doing better than me. If I enable security it doesn't even show on my laptop and if I disable it, it shows but my computer never can connect. I tried to enable it for BT tethering instead but had no luck there either.
What version are you using?
I can connect but I can't browse the internet. MS downloads updates just fine. I can ping www.google.com from cmd just fine, but I CANNOT browse the internet with IE, firefox, or Chrome.....wtf?

I don't think you can have security enabled on the phone - it won't show up as a choice for wifi on your laptop.

Hello,
I have the epic 4g touch rooted with starburst rom. I installed android wifi tether app and I am able to connect to the wifi from laptop, but i cant actually browse to any websites. I can ping from cmd prompt to sites. When I use sprint hotspot everything works fine. Also is there an app that will let me tether at 4g speed?

3rd party tethering apps (ie, wifi tether, usb EasyTether, bluetooth tether) are not subjected to the 5GB Hot Spot Sprint limitation. The data used by these apps are seen as "phone data" which is unlimited, whereas Hot Spot data is limited to 5GB with overage charges/fees.
Am I right?
Plus... it's bad enough having the phone run on 4G now you want it to act like a wireless router transmitting over wifi to tether a laptop. HOT HOT HOT
I think 4G tethering is most efficient and "coolest" in temperature over USB Tethering. If you must tether wirelessly, then Bluetooth is probably better than wifi. Not as big of a battery drain.

hey so i dont have bluetooth on my laptop.. i just use it at work on my laptop to stream music, netflix etc. so which thrid party app would be recommended for 4g. I get great 4g signal at my office. Also i get really really crappy speed with usb tethering like 069 dwn and .65 up
what version of wifi tether are you using?
I'm using v3-beta-6. I can connect using 4g, browsing websites and such. But for some reason, the down steam speeds are capped at ~0.7Mbs when I run a speed test. On my phone, I get 10Mbs down. I know its using 4g because the ping time is much lower and my upload stream is 1.5Mbs.
On 3g, i'm only getting .85 Mbs down and 0.5Mbs up

Easytether app is what I use to tether over uab. works amazingly well with no slow down. I also use wifi tether beta 6 but not very often because it gets hot. Speeds are super fast for me over 4G USB tethering, like 8-10mbps.

I am a little confused because I see the link posted for the 4g hotspot fix which has been out for quite some time now. Also as far as it causing issues with Sprint you can rest assure if that was the case it would be posted all over this community. I am not sure why your phone is not working properly with the wifi tethers but I can assure you that Sprint Hotspot on our phone works quite lovely. Also the data usage restrictions do not apply for phones but for actual Hotspot devices. Please go to the link listed above flash the hotspot mod and enjoy life..... It works I am on it right now....

I'm not sure what hot spot thread you were in but the hot spot hack works on 3g and 4g. And it reads now with 4g not help with 4g... I've used it on both ek02 and el29 with no issues. I hardly ever use sprints crappy 3g and I'm tethering fine. Also take into consideration the hot spot is infrastructure and can be access by more than just computers unlike the tether apps on the market which all are ad hoc...

Meant to edit my 1st post and I quoted myself.. Wow I must be smoking some good ish!!!
I have Calk 2.8.1 which supports sprint 4g hotspot. But in reality, I can never get download speed past the 3g speed. Upload is fast but download seems to be capped to 3g speed a confirmed by other users. EasyTether blows them all away with 4g speed of 8-10 Mbps. But of course it is not wireless and does not support infra structure mode.
Here's what I did to get full 4g speed while tethering via wifi..
Go to market and install filter proxy..
Open application, enable it and remember port number (Default is 8000)
Start wifi tethering..
Setup proxy in your browser, point it to your phone's ip address and port 8000 (if you use default)
Do this for http, https and ftp..
And you are all set.. Test your speed.

I can't seem to find the exact app. Will this work with Sprint Hotspot WIFI tethering or just the 4G Android Wifi Tether.
I just tested Android WifiTether 3.1beta 6 and it seems to pass the full 4g speed to connected device. I am losing 10% or less in 5 tests.
I've noticed of late that my One X thinks that my home WiFi is still in range, and that it's connected, even when I am not at home. To get mobile data to work I have to turn WiFi off and back on again to make it work properly.
Anyone experiencing the same?

Nah, there is an option for disconnecting the wifi if there is no good connection.
also there are wifi fixing tools in the market, switching between aps etc.
also there are tools for switching to 3G if WiFi is under some threshold.
Unfortunately you must search and test. Did my fair share of that.
Also check out that option in the settings if you have it checked.

Regardless of that setting, it should know that the Wi-Fi it was connected to is no longer there.

hello everyone. just wanted to share a little trick i figured out.
occasionally i run short on bills, and broadband gets cut off.
lovely thing i found out how to do is, feed my mobile data into my home router.
i do this through laptop. pretty simple.
1: tether phone to computer
2: go into windows network settings.
3: click change adapter settings.
4: highlite your tether and your lan both. hold ctrl and click each of them.
5: right click and "Bridge Connection"
6: plug a lan cable from computer ethernet into line IN on router.
7: Wifi through whole house WITH ports for wired connections.
8: DANCE AND GIGGLE FOR SCREWING THE BIG CORPORATIONS!
quite useful if you have the unlimited lte like i do. i've used over 70 gb in a month before running everything.
if you like this, click thanks please.

of course it has. but there are always people who haven't heard about it.
i've never seen anything in here about it and it's incredibly useful with T Mo's unlimited 4g.
the lovely thing about the web is we all share. even reshare, to help fellow peeps.
of course, there are also drawbacks too.
for instance, people can be snippy and snide to amuse themselves.
but hey. take the good and the bad, right?
Thanks for this! I've heard of bridging, but never understood/never bothered to find out more about it. This could be useful.
Do they throttle your data speed? (Does it show up as mobile hotspot usage?) With my cable internet, I stream Netflix and Hulu and use about 85-100gb a month. I'd like to get rid of cable if I could just upgrade to the unlimited data plan and use that instead.

I have the unlimited 4g. Depending on what Rom and such you run, very easy to tether without them noticing.

Is there a way to just bridge my phone to the pc? The router is on the opposite side of the house from my computer.

There are some tutorials on how to use Windows laptop as a WiFi router on Google.you can usb tether, perhaps. I bridge phone to router to get much greater distance than phone alone can manage.
I thought you had limitations on how much tethering data you could have with the unlimited plan?

Not sure about GPE ROM's.
I just got a Nexus 5 for my partner. Having problems getting it tethered.
Well for some reason my tethered data is hidden from my company laptop but not my personal desktop at home. How are you hiding your data? I tried the link you posted but I get an error when using the tethering app. And others in the thread say the same thing.
You can take action with this process for GS4...........
