Hi, I thought this wifi hotspot app may be useful - it doesn't require root or a monthly subscription, and it has a hotspot widget too. It works with ICS Galaxy Nexus.
Search android market for "Wifi Hotspot and USB Tether" by SVTP or use these links:

thanks
Thanks, this is a great stop-gap till a good stable rom with fixed wifi tether comes out!
worked Gnex 4.0.2 12/20/11
(mine and my gf's)
Just like all wifi tether it will pop up and say limited connectivity (no IP) but if you give it a few min and dont mess with it, it will refresh and share a valid IP.
Wow...works smoothly with Galaxy Nexus LTE without a single hiccup (not Rooted)!!! Thanks a lot. I think this will be the first App that I want to spend money on

Does this app work for 4G connection? It seems to turn off the radio for LTE and only enable 3G.

I'm on Verizon CDMA and it works fine for me.
I pay for the feature though.

It works for me. You just need tethering on your account.
Anyone who's hesitating to root their phone should try this app. Works flawlessly for me over the Xmas weekend away from home!!!
I can confirm that Wifi tether 3.1 beta 9 works on kejar's Gummy Nexus 3.0.
And for those wondering - No, I do not subscribe to VZ's Hotspot service.
zman6900 -- thanks for the info!
I had tried a couple versions of wifi tether, including the latest beta (wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11, but each was causing the phone to reboot. The Wifi tether 3.1 beta 9 works on a rooted OTA with no issues so far.
you can do this with buglessbeast for free
and get a solid rom
im on telus in canada and the wifi hotspot feature works fine, and it's included, im currently using AOKP M3..
how does this differ from the paid version?
Downloaded and installed this app, when I went to the phone settings I saw wifi Hotspot was enabled. Does this mean that it enabled a monthly hotspot plan? other tether apps didn't affect the tether settings ?? pleeze pm me, I really don't want to pay for a tether plan....

Great, Thanks !!
It work flawlessly on my VZW Galaxy Nexus on my current 4G-LTE data plan. Easy, quick and also fast internet access at no additional cost to my data plan.
Seems like the cost increase to $15 !

Thx Akoolive. That app worked like a charm.
This will not work on my Samsung Galaxy Note I717 with ICS 4.0.4
I have a rooted and unlocked Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.1.1 with T-Mobile service. Everthing Plus Plan 1000 mins. I just moved into a new apt and internet wasn't setup this past weekend. I used my phone to wifi tether and everything was all good until around 3GB now when I tether to my Nexus 7 I get a T-Mobile upsell page for WiFi Hotspot. I thought they wouldn't have any control over my devices because they aren't from T-Mobile all unlocked/rooted? Anyone else running into this issue? Any way around this? Thanks!

Well known that they're simply blocking certain browser UAstrings. Use a UAstring switcher in Chrome and you're golden.
Yes. Note: Did not have to pay for tethering as plan is 'grandfathered in' somehow.

I converted my backup Galaxy Nexus to Ting and am traveling tomorrow. I sat down today to try to make tethering work for my laptop and my nexus 7 (2013).
I'm rooted with stock JB 4.2.1. No native tethering app, so I downloaded wifi tether for root users. It launches but with errors, and no network is visible. I know ting allows tether, and it's checked on in my control panel. How can I make this work?
I opened a ticket with Ting customer support, but they say it's 5 days for a response. I leave tomorrow on a two day trip... that won't help.
So, how do I do this?
My device is N920A on 7.0 Nougat.
I have Straight talk with 5gig data. I rarely go over 3g a month. I have a double din headunit in my car and its wifi capable. I want to use my note 5 to tether but the phone hotspot wont allow me to do so. Required an acct with att for hotspot.
I was using my nexus 6p which was rooted and i was tethering data to the headunit, until i dropped the phone and killed it. This is my back up phone for now.
How can i tether my note 5 data or enable hotspot without att acct?
Thank you in advance
I was wondering if there's any way to create a hotspot using my Pixel 2 XL which uses the currently connected Wifi network as the data source (rather than mobile data). I hear this is possible on the Pixel 3/XL, and there also used to be an app called fqrouter2 that could do this, however the app was never updated to work past Kitkat. Any ideas?
