The hotspot has been working great, up until the past week or so.
Lately it will stop responding, and I will have to simply turn on/off mobile data on the phone and it works good again, for a while.
I'm running bamf 1.7.
Should I try a different radio? Do others have this issue?
Are you using the Mobile Hotspot app or Wireless Tether for Root Users?

Using the one built into the OS.
Anyone else with this issue? Does everyone else's hotspot work great?
Mine has always done that, even with good stable signals.

100% stock without the OTA update. I reverted from the update cause of the rebooting. Hotspot sucked with the OTA as well.

Any way we could get mobile ap tethering to work. The native tethering app kinda sucks. It keeps dropping connections. Running the leaked ginger

It worked for my MT3G Slide in the past even though it wasn't listed as one of the devices.

Just search market for "Android Tether" ... Its nice, and free, and ive been using with previous phones - works like a charm.
Thanx for the suggestion guys but it didn't work. I use mobile ap to connect my xbox and it would work wonderfully. Tried wireless tether but no luck

I'm stock. Clean. No mods of any sort.
Last few days I keep getting this error.
No reason out of nowhere.
Now my phone is acting up. Anyone else get this. How did you fix it of you did?
How does.this app effect the phone so much?

Is there a way to tether the droid charge without using any app just using the regular stock service.

Pay for the extra hot spot service. I don't believe there's another way around it if you don't root and install wireless tether app. 3.0 pre12 is best btw.

I haven't had any problems with foxfi ...maybe its the user :what:

I tried them all and have a hard time to decide which one! I guess if it works for you then you should stay with it. One may worked for one but not the others, probably depend on your setup. Example, the none root required, will work great for none rooted users, but it make no diff to us, cause we all rooted here.
I heard there is file such as tethering2036.apk or tethermanager2036.apk and if you delete it will it work is this true? I do not have the phone with me now so I can not check.
Unlimited 4g. I'm sure you've all heard about it. I went and checked it out. Apparently the only catch is you can't hotspot. But since I'm rooted and running cm7 I should be able to still use hotspot with a third party app, right?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Tethering is built into cm7, no need for an app.. and you might need to change the user agent on the device you tether so you don't get the tmobile redirect.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I am on the unlimited 4g, if I use Firefox, default settings, it seems to work fine. IE blows in the first place, but for the sake of mentioning it, and doesn't work, routes everything to a page telling me to buy tethering. I can also torrent just fine. I guess part of it is just the port it's set to listen on, 80, and if there is activity on other ports, so what.
Edit: also, SSL sites work.

I use the hotspot for my laptop and my lady's g2x. She is on the monthly 4g I'm not concerned with using my laptop, it's her g2x that worries me. I don't see how tmobile would catch on. But I wanted to run it by you guys before switching and potentially voiding my contract
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
so what your saying here is that if i switch to the New Unlimited Nationwide 4g data package i wont be able to tether my tablet to my phone?
That's what they told me but (I may be wrong) if you are using a custom rom or just rooted with a thrid party hotspot app tmobile want be able to detect or stop you, right?

I use Google Chrome & change the user agent. Give that a go.
How do you do that without an add-on
I figured it out. I sometimes forget Google answers all.

bit the bullet and switch to the unlimited 4g plan and i havent had any problems with surfing the web or streaming media on my tablet tethered to my phone. i have gtab 2 with cm10 and g2x with cm7.

can anyone confirm if this app works?
if so is it possible stock rooted? Do you need a custom kernel or anything?

What Zandeer said. On the nexus 5 the stock tethering built in is the best and honestly only one you should use.

I'd like to know the answer to question the OP posted, not what we should use. Included hotspot is based off your data plan...

Exactly, this app currently saves me about $30/month. Wondering if it works and what is needed for it to work
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I need this answer too. Its true I don't want the built in app because then network provider knows I am using tethering. I am on Straight Talk and I use Wifi Tether occasionally when I am outside probably once every few months or so. Appreciate if someone can reply to this.
