WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on TORO(others?) ( 4.2+ (and xbox)

Has anyone successfully tethered their VZW Gnex using native tether option (on any rom)?
I can get any other device ro connext and user the hotspot i create. But when i connect my xbox to the wifi hotspot the xbox tells me it cannot obtain IP address.
I've tried a ton of ways to fix this, even manually setting the IP the xbox looks for and such. But still no go.
If i go back to any 4.1 rom I'm able to connect to xbox and user my lte tether with no issues.
Anyone with a similar experience or fix to this? I've been trying to figure it out ever since 4.2 dropped and thought I'd finally see what my fellow forum users have to say on this subject
Thanks in advance for everything guys!

Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Quick bump
Sorry
I usually don't bump. I just been going nuts trying To see if it's only me having the problem
Any tips besides the basic stuff to fix an issue with tether? (To xbox360)

I can't get tethering to work on any 4.2.* ROM. Native or the WiFi Tethering app.
Since this is an absolutely critical feature for me, it looks like I'll never be upgrading.

I would seriously like an answer to this as well. I was going to make another thread here asking about the same thing because it seems that w/e rom I used that's based off of 4.1.w/e allows me to use my wifi hotspot just fine. I know it's not any of the devices receiving the signals problem because they were working just fine before I updated my g-nex to 4.2.1 or 4.2.2. Seriously....I've reached out and I get no answers. I don't want to go back to older versions because I shouldn't have too. I've used almost all different kinds of wifi apps like foxfi and others, but foxfi force closes, and all the others just don't work. I really need this feature to work! Any ideas?.....anybody?

Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Thanks guys
I KNEW i wasn't alone
The error i get on xbox is it cant obtain ip address
When i look under settings about phone ever since 4.2 it always says ip address unavailable.
I was hoping we could collaborate at least a workaround by "spoofing" an ip and then manually setting it on the xbox. Unless we can stumble across a true fix to why this has started happening
Thanks for the input, lets me know I'm not going completely insane yet hahah

Thats weird. I have used my phone to tether my tablet, PS3 and my work computer. Hearing people say it doesn't work for them is surprising. I'm running the CM10.1 nightlies and using the native wifi tethering.
EDIT: I just realized you guys were mainly talking about the Xbox. lol, oops

Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Yea that's the thing
I can tether to ANYTHING else just fine.
In fact i just tethered to my tablet and my computer.
The only thing that i get the Ip cant be obtained issue on is when trying Ti straight hotspot tether to the xbox itself.

You are not alone my friend. This is preventing me from updating. I'm following another thread where they found a fix for the Wi-Fi tether for root users to work properly on 4.2.2, but I have not received confirmation on if it also fixes and allows the Xbox to work again. I'm tempted to just try it myself and see what happens.... but haven't as of yet.
Edit: This is that thread.

I decided it was time. I made a backup. Flashed BB8, and just to be sure, I tried the native tethering. Didn't work. Then I tried this apk the guy modified for WiFi tether for root users. I tried absolutely ever different combination possible in settings, and still the Xbox would not work.
This guy reprogrammed that app, so now I'm going to try getting ahold of him to see if he can specifically look into the Xbox issue. Who knows. Maybe he is a miracle worker.
For now, I'm already back to BB6 4.1.2.

I do it all the time. On the Xbox internet connection screen try to delete the connect and try from scratch. I'm using XenonHD 8.0 works like a charm.
Have you ever been able to connect before?

I'm on 4.2.2 right now and I get an ip address with tethering on. You were saying it's unavailable under about phone -> status right? Works for me. Maybe it's the hostapd binary in stock. Try the one from my 3.3 kernel or later. Sorry my xbox has no wifi.

So, since you are some what blowing my mind, I just want to be doubly sure here.
You are on that ROM, and you can activate the native tethering feature on your Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro), turn on your Xbox, connect it wirelessly to your phone, and successfully connect to Xbox live and play online?
That's all true and you aren't just messing with me?

JDQ39 tether (rooted) issues..?

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.

But I still get errors on startup of wifi tether. Does the above instructions apply to vzw as well?

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

WIFI tether issues with custom roms

Hello Guys,
I am having WIFI Tether issues with any custom AOSP or AOKP rom. Installing a touchwiz related rom somehow resolves the tethering issues.
I've trying all the usual steps before installing a custom rom including wiping everything, factory reset and all that good stuff. But the native tether wont work on these roms. I tried the wifi tether apps in the app store but no success there.
However, what really gets to my nerves is that my daily driver is 4.1.2 liquid smooth rc7 version of the rom which i assume is based on aosp does allow wifi tether but only through the app in the app store. The native app continues to fail.
Someone once told me to install the wifi driver for the phone. Is that possible? If so how? By the way i am running a rogers s3 which is the at&t equivalent in US.
Also, just so you guys know, my other devices do pick up the wireless set up by my phone's tether, but it wont connect to it. password or not, it takes forever to connect and eventually fails.
Any advice?

If you carrier is Rogers, you need to make some mods to tether 4G (H+, 3G will work w/o mods). There's a post about it somewhere in Task's AOKP thread, which I believe a search should find it. Google can also help.

Same issue here, Rogers LTE tethering didn't work and tried to google and find the mods as posted.
couldn't find the mods.
Please advise.

Thank you sooooo soooo much. I spent hours trying to figure a way out to get the tethering to fix. This worked out super easily. You've honestly saved me hours i wouldve spent.
Thank you for persisting with the solution for us.

It's dependent of the device receiving it. If it's too old or it's drivers are too old it won't get the speed it should. Also tethering shares the connection, therefor, you won't get full speed on the receiving device.
Could be so many things actually that's it's hard to troubleshoot.

Your S3 doesn't really matter here as much as the device receiving the connection.

Like I said, it's dependent of so many things. First off, what device it receiving it? Is that device old? Are it's drivers up to date? Does it have a good reception/connectivity?

[Q] [noob] Unlocked LS970 Bluetooth tethering

So I have done days worth of searching and have not found a fix for what I am looking to for.
I have unlocked my LGOG LS970 in hops I would be able to use the blutooth tethering as Sprint has it on lock down. I was not to my surprise. My old Evo never had an issue after I rooted it. I have downloaded many many apps that say they enable the tether with no luck. I am trying to share my internet connection with my Parrot Asteroid. The only apps I have found require you to download the adjacent program to the device as well as the phone, so in this case I am not able to do that.
Is there a ROM or program that will allow me to share my internet connection with my deck via Bluetooth?
I tried the hotspot apps to for WiFi and it would not work either.
Thank you for any help.

I haven't had any problems with mine. What rom are you using? Are you rooted? Do you have experience with android?
And just do you know, give us a bit of information about your phone, but don't bloat the thread. Give us info, read through it, trim it up, post.

So I have an LG LS970 on Sprint.
I used this method to unlock and root the phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
I am running the factory ROM, and have not upgraded to another as of yet, perhaps that is my issue. My Blue tooth tether worked for one day after I first rooted and then stopped. From reading around is that Sprint is a little tricky and you have to use a proxy to bounce your IP off of to get away from the extra charges. I can use bluetooth but not for data sharing.
I am now using a proxy server but still no luck on the tether.
I have some experience with Android but from a user standpoint. The only other phone I rooted was my Evo a few years ago and CyanogenMod made that effortless..
I hope this helps

[Q] Cannot properly share Internet through tethering

Hi!
It's been a week since I've been using my ZenFone, and everything is quite nice (except maybe the fact that I had to manually enter my APN settings)... however, I have not been able to share my internet to my laptop via Wi-Fi, nor Bluetooth nor USB.
I know it's something to do with the phone, because this entire week I've had to carry around my old Nokia Lumia JUST for this purpose. Other than this, I've been enjoying full 4G LTE speeds and all. APN settings are correct.
Is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

I have Asus Android USB drivers and there is a folder named tethering...

Yeah, drivers aren't properly signed so I couldn't install them. I gotta enable that, so perhaps I'll try later... however, the problem is not that my laptop is not connecting to the Zenfone; it's the phone that is not letting any device connect to the Internet.
On Windows (Windows Phone, and iPhones and an LG that I've tested so far), it shows as a limited connection when using Wi-Fi or USB. I've attached a screenshot of these cases when trying to use my laptop.
Thanks again guys

I gave that a try, and didn't work. I think the phone is refusing to route anything to the Internet. I tried to make a simple DNS query and it refuses to respond; trying to use Google's DNS didn't work either. This is astonishingly weird.
EDIT: I've also just updated to 2.15 and problem persists, by the way.

Zenfone 2 could not tether with internet on Fido
I have the same problem with my Zenfone 2 4gb ram 64gb not getting internet access after laptop or other phone connected to its hot spot. My carrier Fido said there is no settings to get tethering to work, it should work automatically as long as data was working with the APN.
Cannot fine any help on resolving this issue, very frustrating since everything seems to work fine.

Problem Solved. Update your Zenfone to v2.18.40.12 for ZE551ML while v2.18.40.7 for ZE550ML.
This OTA update came out just recently in June and now tethering works on my phone plus a lot of upgraded features too.
