Wifi tether doesn't seem to work for some of us. For me personally it connects but does not have an internet connection. Is it working for anyone? Failing?

Having same issue as you. My dell mini 10v connects, takes a bit longer then usual to acquire network address, and when it does the internet still doesnt work.
I'm sure its just a matter of the program being updated to work on the CDMA hero
Ditto
I'm having the same problem as well. Connects after a very long time and receives IP information, but nothing after that. Has anybody reported to the wifi-tether developer yet?
As soon as it works on the Hero, I'm ready to donate, as I gladly paid money for WmWifiRouter on my previous phones.
Same problem with me. Is anyone else getting the "AC disabled" message in the notification window once the PC is "supposedly" tethered? I noticed my phone getting really hot.
I'd really like to know why this works in the Mocado ROM but not just by installing the application alone after rooting. I don't want to start messing with custom ROMS just yet.

Not sure but what I did notice is that when I ran it for the first time on Mocado's ROM I got a prompt asking me to "Allow" the app certain rights. Now when I installed the app before I flashed his ROM but right after rooting my phone I did not get this prompt. Maybe the way it's installed on his ROM has something extra that has it correctly and fully installed on the ROM to allow it to work properly.
the permissions screen is just adding the program to the super user whitelist kinda like a list of programs permitted to run as su maybe downloading super user white list off the market I remember getting it from there with my G1 if not just pull the apk from the modaco Ron but you should try the modaco rom you don't even have to wipe all your settings and everything will stay the same.
I know it isn't ideal, but you can share the internet connection ICS style if you do the following:
adb shell
Code:
su
/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
At which point you will get disconnected from your adb shell and the internet Windows will recognize the Hero as an NDIS adapter. To turn it off I just go into Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile network sharing and toggle it on then off again.
There might be a way to get netsharing to also flip the usb function, using net_and_usb but it doesn't seem to work and my ARM disassembly skills aren't good enough to tell why.
Hey guys,
My wifi tether did not work, even with root, until I installed MoDoCo's ROM. After I did, it was gravy from there. 2.4 down .60 up.
mine works
mine works too, i just use it as a wireless router...
Mine works flawlessly on MoDaCo's Rom. Im guessing it has something to do with a string of code that the custom rom has that the stock one doesnt.
I finally took the plunge into the MoDaCo rom. Easy as pie and tethering works with no prob. Just Do it.
Yeah. I see no reason why not to go with the MoDaCo's. This was my first time flashing a rom on anything and it got it easily the first try.
Can all of ya'll confirm that the encryption or device access list does NOT work on wifi tethering app?
Device access list seems to work fine for me, but the encryption does not.
Anyone know if there's a workaround for USB tether yet, that allows native mobile network sharing? (not that crazy switch off/switch on quickly workaround that doesn't always work)
I don't really like the wifi tether because it drains my battery, even if my phone is plugged in to my laptop via USB.
Also, I haven't been able to get above 1.2 mbps down speeds with the wifi tether, and I was hoping that native mobile network sharing might help this. Anyone else having slow connection issues with this?
Wifi tether does not work on the stock Sprint ROM. It does (for some reason) work on Modaco's.
Check this link for the developers thread on whats happening - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188
He doesnt have a Sprint Hero to test with so he needs our help.
fixed!
The developer has released a new "pre-version" of Wireless Tether that works on the stock Sprint HTC Hero ROM (with root access, obviously)! As per user capnbry, "..the problem is that the gprs table has a default route on it, and it has a higher priority than main, which is where the wireless route goes. If you `ip route delete table gprs` after starting android.tether everything works like a charm." The developer has added this step into the program, and it works!
See the thread for details, or download the new "pre-version" here: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk

I am currently on AT&T using the TILT (WM 6.1).
There are very few things I like about my TILT. However the biggest thing is tethering and using it as a wifi access point - which I enjoy freely.....
It is my preference to stay on AT&T because I would like to keep my TILT as a back up - insert my SIM from whatever new (Android) phone into it to use its tethering and wifi access point ability.
I was interested in the iPhone (4) but because it uses a micro sim, that rules out any degree of cross compatibility I need with my SIM card.
My next move is to change phones to an Android. My case for Android is simple : I need a phone I can set up for both tethering and as a wifi access point. The iPhone allows tethering but at an added price. The iPhone does not allow for wifi access point usage. I am interested in the Samsung Galaxy S. I have some questions:
1. Has anyone been successful in setting up an Android, particularly AT&T Samsung Captivate for tethering and as a wifi access point?
2. I understand AT&T does not allow non-market apps onto the phone. So if you are a Captivate user how can this be accomplished?
3. If you have accomplished this and you are not an AT&T Samsung Captivate user, please tell me what carrier you are with and how you accomplished it.
I am aware of a process called rooting. I am no techie and don't wish to risk bricking my phone. I am also aware that Android 2.2 will provide tethering (or is it wifi access point capability?). Which carrier will allow or support this? Or how can a user enable these features?
Is anyone aware as to which carriers will either allow this or present the least barriers for a users work around?
I am open to switching carriers, but as I said, I do like using my SIM and sticking it back into my TILT to use the tethering or wifi access point if I am not able to use these features in a replacement phone without paying exhorbitant prices. Mind you, I am grandfathered into AT&T's unlimited data plan. The unlimited data plan and wifi access point will be handy when I purchase the iPad or use the phone to allow other devices to connect via wifi.
I used internet connection sharing on my Blackjack a few times. It was a pretty nice option to have. I just bought a Captivate on the 29th and was hopping to find something similar. My assumption is that you will have to root your phone to get by AT&T's road blocks. You will, at the very least, have to get a program to help you side load cause AT&T has blocked that and they have also blocked certain apps from showing up in the market.
I went from the Tilt to the Backflip (which I wouldn't recommend because of so many better Android phones). I also enjoyed the freedom to tether. With an unrooted Android phone using PDAnet (have to have installed on pc & phone) I've been able to tether no problem.
Don't remember off-hand if it shows up in the Market. If not, you'll have to use something like Droid Explorer to install it. Not a hard process, even for a non-techie. HTH
Sent from my MB300 using XDA App
Yeah, after posting that I did some searching. There is PDAnet and Easytether. AT&T blocks both from the market but you just have to take out your SIM card and then connect to Wi-Fi and they'll show up.
@lillejord. Do I understand you correctly? Even though AT&T may block applications from appearing at the AT&T Android Market, you remove the SIM and then navigate to the AT&T Android Market and - bingo! The otherwise errant applications are available to both download and install?
Can't comment about the US-specific versions of the SGS... I have an SGS I9000 bought in Hong Kong (it's unlocked, unbranded etc)
It is on Android 2.1 (Eclair) and it already has the WiFi AP functionality built in (I've used it... worked fine)... Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile AP settings
As for using it "tethered" (ie. via a USB cable), when you plug it in (assuming you've set the "Ask on connection" option), it gives you 4 options:
- Samsung Kies
- Media Player
- Mass Storage
- PC Internet
The last one lets you use the phone's data connection...
There is also a 3rd option, within the Samsung Kies application, there is a "Tethering" applet, that also lets you use the phone's data connection, but it allows you to configure a whole bunch of stuff and you can create multiple data connection profiles etc...
Not sure exactly how ATT does their data plans between different phones. But isn't the android "specific" plan different than the standard smart phone plan as far as how the phones work and switching sim cards/cost.
I know that when I had my T-mo MDA (HTC Wizard) I could tether (either via usb or bluetooth) and use as a wireless access point), so the Tilt (in theory) should be able to work the same) unless the ATT/their software, crippled it. Once again, not sure how ATT has their network set.
-- Not to go OT from the thread, if so, I apologize.. but I was wondering, if you have a WM powered phone, running Android, does the internet plan change or stay the same/work properly.
To answer your question, using the internet on an Android ROM running on a WinMo phone works properly without the need to manually change any settings. At least it worked for me. I ran Android on my T-Mo US Touch Pro2 and used the web browser with no issues. I can't comment on how/if it would work with another phone/carrier so YMMV.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
I have the HTC G2 Android running on version 2.2 through T-mobil
I used to have cable through COX but discontinued it as I am able to use the phone as a hot spot with tethering. I can connect multiple machines via this hotspot. It is a 4G phone, and runs at 14.4 (mbps I think).
I didn't do anything special to the phone, and the hotpot is a simple selection of the settings.
Hope this helps (Arizona)

a 30second search of putting 'free tether htc inspire' into google would have given you the answer you need. This has been asked over and over and over. You are technically breaching your agreement and if you get caught that is on you. Here is a link in the market for a simple to use app. Next time please search before making threads.
https://market.android.com/details?...EwOSwiY29tLm1zdHJlYW0uZWFzeXRldGhlcl9iZXRhIl0.
edit: Good catch Agoa, was at work and saw two threads above one antoher both asking about how to bypass ATT's limiter for tether/hotspot. ya the best way would be just to root it if you arent even using att, get their crap off it.
I am not sure he is breaching his agreement since he isn't in the USA and he isn't using ATT. The app mentioned only tethers using USB.
There may be other apps available on the market but I cant remember if they require your phone to be rooted or not. There is info on the forum about this. Since you are not using ATT it would be better to root your phone with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit and then install an unbranded custom ROM that will allow wifi hotspot.
AT&T HTC Inspire enable Wi-Fi hotspot trick
This works on my unlocked AT&T Inspire 4G which I am using on T-mobile.
1) Turn on "Airplane mode" (first item in settings)
2) Turn on "Wi-Fi hotspot"
3) Turn off "Airplane mode" You will get a pop-up "To enable tethering..." then "Wi-Fi hotspot" will turn off.
4) Turn on "Wi-Fi hotspot again. Voila!
Unfortunately you will need to do this ever time you want to use the hotspot feature.
I have not tried this with a locked phone
hey good day....i tried this and it worked for me.....however, i had to reset my phone to the factory settings...after resetting the phone, i tried the method again but it refused to work...help me out plsssssss
The airplane mode thing doesn't work anymore, when I turn airplane on it grays out hotspot.... So I learned att is wanting to charge me extra? to use what I am already paying and being charged for!?! WTF when did this happen? They said I have to have at least a 5 GB plan to even be able to pay that service to allow me to use what they would be charging me for on the 5 GB plan...... Am I missing something here! Already tried pdanet and it doesn't work either. Att has the locked bootloader so idk about flashing it with an international version, don't want to brick it trying and as far as I can find out it is impossible to bypass the bootloader to even enable me to be able to do this... Someone correct me if I'm wrong in any way. I would love to hear anything about this
[HOW-TO] Enable Wifi and USB Tethering on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.3 MK2
After some research on various forums including this one, I got both Wifi and USB Tethering working on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.3 (build MK2). Figure others may look for similar solutions so I put together the steps I used in this post.
1. Background
I have been tethering with SVTP (paid version) since acquiring the Galaxy S4 in June 2013, with my unlimited data plan. Then it stopped working after a week when AT&T pushed out the software update. Furious, I googled around and found the "Click the home button when the checking popup appears" trick, and had been happily tethering, until AT&T push another update (MK2) two weeks ago. It defeated that trick and none of the tethering apps work. Oh man, not again!
I googled again and found FoxFi. The wifi tethering didn't work (it only work on Verizon as reported(), but the USB and Bluetooth tethering do work. I am relived as I had a temporal solution. However, both the USB and Bluetooth tethering drop and resume the internet connection every minute. Very annoying when downloading a bigger file, or playing online games that require constant connection. Finally can't stand it anymore. I keep googling around and found there's no other solution except rooting the device. And I decide to take the risk and give it a shot.
2. Result
After following the steps, I was able to get all tethering apps works. Specifically all these works;
SVTP
ES File Manager
FoxFi
And, the native Tethering from the phone also work. This give me the hint that probably most, if not all, tethering apps should work.
Furthermore,the built-in USB tethering also work! Unlike the one from FoxFi, this one work continuously without dropping/resuming the connection every minute. This can be handy as you can charge your phone while tethering. Pretty cool, uh?
Last but not least, I disable the AT&T Software update, so I don't have to do this again
3. Steps
Here's the steps I used. I piece them together from various sources. Many thanks to the folks who put them together, and to the folks who tried before me and post the positive result. Basically you need do to a few things:
a. Root the device
b. Modify the tethering file
c. Turn on tethering and verify it works
d. Disable the AT&T Software update (Optional)
Please see the next post for details.
Steps
a. Root your device
Scary, isn't it? I was in the same boat and really hesitated to do it. However with no other option available it may worth a try. It does work well and give you good control of the phone. Worthy in my opinion, especially when it allows you to do what you want to do.
a1. If you are new to rooting your phone like me, some background reading may help:
http://www.kingoapp.com/help/android-rooting.htm
https://sites.google.com/site/tomsgt123/all-videos/samsung-galaxy-s4
a2. Watch this video as a preparation and confidence building:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uii_mYm8IGE&feature=youtu.be
a3. Root your device using the steps here. It echoes the steps in the video. Even though it is made for the Verizon model, it works on AT&T too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
b. Modify the tethering file:
b1. Follow the steps in the post. It works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535141
b2. Pay attention to the mount /system as RW mode step. It is missing in the original post:
"I was not able to rename files or copy until I change 'Mount R/W'.
To do this, you click on globe/phone on top left corner.
Scroll down to "Root Explorer" and hold for a second or two.
When you let go, a pop-up screen appears. Click on Mount R/W,
and change "/system" from OR to RW."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48950107&postcount=87
c. Verify tethering works
c1. Use your favorite tethering app, it should work. Just disregard the AT&T Popup (click OK).
And if you don't use any tethering app before, rest at ease. Your phone's native Wifi and USB tethering also work. That maybe the best part as you don't need to purchase any "unlocked" version of those apps. Just go to "Settings->More networks->Tethering and portable hotspot". Turn on Mobile Hotspot and you can use Wifi tethering as usual.
c2. Or while at the same screen, connect your phone to the laptop with a USB cable and enable "USB tethering". Your laptop will automatically install a USB driver and you will be connected to the internet via USB. This option works especially well when all you need is connect one laptop to the internet. It not only saves the battery of your phone by not using Wifi, but also charge your battery while tethering!
c3. Stil not enough? How about make your laptop a wifi hotspot? Follow the steps here:
http://lifehacker.com/5369381/turn-your-windows-7-pc-into-a-wireless-hotspot
This way, you charge your phone while tethering using USB, your laptop is on the web, and others can connect to the internet via the Wifi hotspot on your laptop. It is a win-win-win situation
d. Finally, if you don't want to be annoyed in the future and redo all these again (which may or may not work anymore as they may close the door), turn of AT&T Software update. Follow the steps here:
Stopping AT&T Auto Software Update
Download and install "App Quarantine ROOT/FREEZE" from Play Store.
Open the app and go to settings by tapping on the wrench icon at the top right of the screen.
Uncheck the "Hide system services" option.
Go back to the app and select "AT&T Software update".
Tap on the lock icon on the top right of the screen.
It may ask you to enable the USB debugging.
Feel safe from AT&T's new attack
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387577
Again, many thanks to those who put the information together, and to those who tried it and proved it worked. You guys are great! Happy new year and happy tethering!
Good job!
I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from this.
I can verify that this method works perfectly for my ATT S4 Active ML2 - thank you!!!
Just found this thread today, I've been planning on rooting my phone for some time now and tethering is one of the biggest reasons why.
I just wanted to confirm that this fix has allowed you to tether using the native tethering function in android with an unlimited (grandfathered) AT&T data plan and you haven't had any problems with AT&T harassing you about it. I'm in the same boat and don't want to lose my unlimited data as I've heard as happened to some people.
Also thanks for the guide!
Does anyone know if this will work on non samsung AT&T phones. Like the HTC M8?

Yes, it works fine with the AT&T unlimited data plan.
So i've been a user of xda for quite sometime, however i never really contributed before so i'd like to share my latest discoveries and hopefully i can help someone in the future.
(Please note this is for intermediate users i will not be going into full details. Feel free to google any keywords here for further information)
Please note this will erase your device!

This is a tutorial on how to get unlimited tethering on an LG V10 Tmobile
First you will need to unlock bootloader and get TWRP so you can flash SuperSU and get root.
I used a combination of these two guides. DOTtech i just used to get LGUP. I do not believe the .kdz (refurbish) step is necessary.
https://dottech.org/198032/how-to-root-lg-v10-t-mobile-h901-on-android-6-0-marshmallow/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-android-6-0-h901-t3382819
make sure you use this .tot file from xda (most updated, July) link
once you have flashed the tot file. make sure you download supersu and save it on your phone. Link Here .You will need to boot into recovery mode. The best way i found to boot into recovery mode is to use "adb reboot recovery" command via adb command terminal. For help on setting up adb, usb debugging, and oem unlock. follow the youtube video below. Do not follow his recovery flash steps. (That is Outdated!). once you have adb set up, phone on, open a terminal, navigate to your adb folder and run the "adb reboot recovery" command. Phone will boot into TWRP. Find your SuperSU file. Flash it. You are now rooted!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPLwFGxLQA4
once you have root....
you will need wifi tether router from fabio grasso. Buy it. best money ever spent.
next you will need to edit your build prop.
download es file explorer. build prop is just a text file. enable root explorer in es file explorer. navigate to your root folder/system.
under system you will find build.prop. open with es text editor. at the end of the text file insert
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
hit back. and it will ask you to save. save it!
This will allow our wifi tether router app to work properly.
reboot your phone.
open your wifi tether router app. The most important setting here is under method. Use Native! This will tell wifi tether router to port it's connection through your native hotspot app.
You should now be ready to go.
Now, how do we prevent Tmobile from noticing our traffic is being tethered?
We need to change a few settings on our computers. You will want to change your defaultTTL to 65 (decimal) on all your PCs.
For details on that follow this youtube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZOqm98kzIU
for windows 10 its a little bit different. Use this command in a terminal.
netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65
This should prevent Tmobile from noticing and counting your hotspot data.
If i missed anything, please feel free to message me along with any other questions.
Cheers!
Hi,

Good Luck!
When was the last time you've checked your usage? I'm using a vpn (in addition to build.prop and settings.db "hacks") as well, so not sure how they see it now. I'll change my TTL on the pc as next precaution. Vpn used to be the bullet proof method, but they're getting sneakier.

My apologies to everyone, i guess my post was a little premature. I just got the text message today saying i've used 80% of my mobile hotspot. RussianBear, i am interested in your settings.db hack. What is the purpose of that hack, and also what vpn do you use?
The TTL was a game changer for me with my S5. The problem i am running into with the LG V10 is that in the wifi tether router app, the hostapd method would not work anymore. I "enable wifi router" and i can't see my hotspot.
Russianbear, how far along have you gotten with this. Maybe we can help each other. Can you see your hotspot via wifi tether router? What are your wifi tether router settings? The only way i was able to activate it was with the Native method, however i believe the native hotspot embedded with the phone sends packets to tmobile.
I was wondering also if a custom rom can help me in this situation. It seems as though the native hotspot does not allow third party apps like "wifi tether router" to activate the hotspot. Can anyone recommend a good stable custom rom that can help me accomplish this?
Cheers!

I'm using private internet access vpn. Not currently using any play store apps, just my native usb/wi-fi tether, but it looks like they upped their game this month, as I've already ran out of hotspot data lol
The settings db "hack" was forcing zero flag inside a settings database. In MM it was moved to this location:
/data/system/users/userid/settings_[system|global|secure].xml"
On V10 it's under global.xml - search for tether_dun and make sure that's 0.
You can also try using adb or terminal emulator and execute commands found here:

I have to find a way to get wifi tether router working on this phone. Wifi tether plus DefaultTTL will fix this. If anybody tries wifi tether and gets it to work with LG V10 please let me know. Maybe its my phone. I did use the .tot file in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-android-6-0-h901-t3382819
I'm thinking maybe that might have corrupted something and is not letting me activate my hotspot via wifi tether router.
Looks like adjusting ttl has worked for now.

Can you please explain where and how you did this?
I'll try this, but dont think it will work. I've used Wifi Tether Router alot before, but that was before Tmo started cracking down on heavy tether users not too long ago. Now if I try to use it, they always notice quickly. I also did the no provisioning trick but same results. I created a new APN with a guide I found, same thing. I didnt change any values on my other devices' end. I've heard it helps if you use a different DNS server but dont know for sure. It may also help if you use a different user agent.
I do believe the days of unlimited tethering with Tmo are over, I've tried lots of tricks but didnt get far.

I'll try this, but dont think it will work. I've used Wifi Tether Router alot before, but that was before Tmo started cracking down on heavy tether users not too long ago. Now if I try to use it, they always notice quickly. I also did the no provisioning trick but same results. I created a new APN with a guide I found, same thing. I didnt change any values on my other devices' end. I've heard it helps if you use a different DNS server but dont know for sure. It may also help if you use a different user agent.
I do believe the days of unlimited tethering with Tmo are over, I've tried lots of tricks but didnt get far.

@RussianBear: I actually use a VPN on my phone most of the time. However, by default, Android wont direct tethering to a VPN. I found a guide awhile back that shows how to use terminal commands to forcibly route through a VPN, it worked for quite awhile, but Tmo caught on eventually. I made sure the VPN and my script were already running before activating tethering. A VPN is supposed to be encrypted, so how they detected ne is beyond me. I guess they saw the sheer amount of data I was using and suspected tethering (over 500GB in one month, at the highest point).

Can you not enable vpn on the clients instead? I have my asus router set up with my vpn settings, so anything connecting to it automatically gets passed thru the vpn ip instead. Lower your ttl on desktop/laptop, do the build.prop entry, set ipv to 4 in settings, and set tether dun to 0 in settings.xml (I made a script for that). You should be to go with your vpn then.
Honestly I see almost no point in having unlimited tethering since your data is slowed down around 26gbs. I'm fine with the 7gb I have rn. If I were to make use of unlimited tethering, I'd need truly unlimited since I do very heavy usage on any of my computer's. Usually 700-900 GB a month(and that's only download. Upload is around 200gb a month). Used to have an at&t business hotspot that I paid $125/month and used 300 or so GB a month for three months with no slow downs on it.

Gotta pay to play. They "prioritize" your after 26, so it's not like it'll be slow 24/7. Annoying, sure. However, I haven't had home internet going on two years now. Worth it to me, based on my usage. With this tmo one stuff, they offer unlimited tethering, but of course, your primary usage has to be from your phone...
The victory was only half-way declared... They somehow know when device(s) that connect to my router are tethered. Router is setup with an openvpn configuration and connects to the vpn server automatically. All IPs check out, as well as ttl values, but they're still able to tell. One thing that was strange was if I did not enable vpn thru the router, but instead thru the client, the speeds remained constant - undetected. This is fine and dandy, but I'd lose my chromecast functionality this way... If things get rough and I can't finger this one out, I might hop onto to their unlimited everything for $95/month instead of the simple choice one I got now.

If you have good home internet with VPN supported router, you can run VPN through your home

Yes, but somehow they can tell...even with a vpn setup thru a router.

They can tell tho the t mobile app the one the shows your data you have to delete it and delete this the one that has the red # by it, that how they track you and can see everything on your phone and know it you have root or not and anything you do on your phone .
