I have been using my dhd as a wifi hotspot for my laptop for quite sometime, recently I got a nookcolor and I tried to connect to it as well. It showed that the wifi is connecter, but no internet.
I tried connecting to other sources, like a regular router, a nexus one, all works.
The settings are all default, including the DHCP being checked.
Anyone know why?
same problem I am with orange UK - wondering if just dont allow you to share your signal. I know in USA they have to pay their provider to use wifi hotspot. I posted on this before but nobody replied.
Well I persisted to try it out again, flipping around the authentication methods (None, WEP, WPA etc). Now this is the weird thing.
Gtalk/Gmail app on my nookcolor works perfectly fine. On browsers (stock, opera mini), nothing loads ....
which network are you with? and are you using stock rom?
I'm on a Singapore network, there's no restriction on tethering, and yes, I'm using stock rom (not rooted) on my desire hd, nookie froyo on my nookcolor.

This should help you on Orange UK [Post #32]: http://androidforums.com/desire-supp...ml#post1734672
I didn't want to make a new thread, so i thought i ask here.
Have any of you tried speedtest.net or the speedtest app?
If i do a speed test on my DHD it shows 4,5mbit download (HSDPA). But if i use HTC WIFI hotspot to share my phones internet connection, then i get only about 2mbit download on my laptop. Is that normal?

Hello, and before you read this, yes I am a noob, with very little experience in ROMs and rooting.
I am doing extensive research before I flash Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy S3, because the last time I tried, I screwed everything up and bricked my phone (trying to unlock the bootloader, which was the stupidest 700 dollar desision I Have ever made.)
I was wondering if LTE, texting and everything else on my plan will all work.
Thanks,
Edwin

Yes it does work.
Using it right now.
Basically when you install CM10 ,,.set the correct apn
then after with *#*#4636#*#*
then pick phone and choose LTE/GSM auto (prl)
then after in mobile networks choose LTE
Hope that helps

You no longer have to use *#*#4636#*#*. Just choose gsm/lte under settings.

You can go from box to CM10 within 30min of opening a SGS III from a fresh box..
I did that for my dad heh he only saw touchwiz for about 15min.
I don't know if this is an issue with the new OS but it seems that we cannot run tethering apps (rooted). specifically it is the WEXT (ad-hoc) function... Which as far as I can tell is the way it broadcasts to other computers. Please don't respond telling me to use "foxfi" or some other "non-rooted" app. The reason we use the rooted ability is to be able to bypass the network hoops and use a "backdoor" to get what's rightfully ours. The function of teather ring was working fine on the pervious jellybean OS so it goes to say that someone just needs to fix this bug. Please help

I guy offered up a fix and signed it with his developer key here: code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c109 (can't link it since I'm new)
It'll tide you over until they officially fix it in the Play Store.
It's near perfect (laptop connects and gets out fine, but my Vita connects and cannot get out... to the internet).
OK I'm a dummy at this point. I downloaded the patch ( from user pfnguyen on post #109) its a ".man" file..? Not sure what to do with this... Am I going in the right direction?

There's an actual file there. Use your browser's search function to look for ".apk".
If you're a Sprint user, it won't work. Look for WiFi Tether Router in the Play Store. I'm using that now and it works fine.

I have similar issue with vzw gnex
I tired Mwalt2s method of disabling native tether check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176954
But I still get errors on startup of wifi tether. Does the above instructions apply to vzw as well?
Thanks,

OK so this download form "pfnguyen" in the "TrevE Mod" which I already had. So how does one get this thing to work? The phone is verizon so I don't know if that makes a diff. There are a lot of settings on this app and I really have no idea what they really mean. Really... I'm dumb when it comes to this so you're gonna have to draw it out in crayon for me

Anyone that can help at this point would be great... Still cannot get WiFi tether to work. Currently running treve mod WiFi and still no dice...
I have been using a SM-N900T on the ATT network by changing the APN settings, and it has been working perfectly until today. I have no internet connection, but it shows full bars, and I can still call and text. I've tried restoring to a earlier NANDROID, and even went to an ATT store and had the guy (who happened to know exactly what I did and has done it himself for his phone) try to fix it, but nothing has worked.
I posted this in the AT&T section too, but no luck so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Same here both with AT&T and T-Mobile. All you need to do is call nearest store and ask if they're experiencing network problems.
Hi guys, I just got my Unlocked Sprint G5 LGAS992 (7.0) model. it's doin finealthough 1 dealbreaker for me isn't working.
I cant see or find any USB tethering option in network settings and Hotspot doesn't seem to work. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Okay so I'm not sure if I'm posting properly to ask a question I know I quick to reply because I couldn't find out how to post LOL. Anyway I apologize for messing up the flow if that's what I've done. I'm a bit confused because my Sprint LG G5 has WiFi hotspot and I see the options for both bluetooth tethering and USB tethering. I have a young son and stay-at-home wife and we live in BFE with no internet access. So I have unlimited LTE on my G5 however Sprint limits the amount of shared or Hotspot usage. And the limit seems to be reached fairly quickly. I don't need a ton but I love for my family to be able to watch a little bit of Netflix in the evening and for my wife and son to at least be able to browse the internet maybe watch some YouTube on the old Galaxy S6 that they have at least when I'm home and my phone is with me. It's pretty tough to all watch a Netflix movie on a phone screen. So is there any ways around this hotspot limit? Also how exactly do I USB tether I know that must sound silly. I understand that I can have type-c coming out of my phone and then on the other end it would be a regular USB type A or whatever it is so how do I then connect that to something such as say the Galaxy or is that something that would only be used in the case of tethering to a computer which has normal USB? Thanks a ton for any and all advice and help it is greatly greatly appreciated this site is awesome and I'm sure once I get the hang of navigating it a bit better I will love it even more. Thanks in advance--j

USB tethering is for a PC only. Going into your APN settings with the hiddencallmenu.apk (located in the G5 unlocking thread in the General section) and adding "dun" to the APN type with a comma after the last entry in that field (before you add dun) should help you to bypass Sprint's limit on hotspot. Also reboot after doing all of that.
