[Q] Hotspot/ICS issue

Did a search and came up with nothing...
I am flashed with CM9 running ICS on my SGH-T959W.
Ever since I rooted my phone, I am not able to use my phone as a portable hotspot on either of my laptops (work and home). It will connect but then the network icon says limited connectivity and I am unable to access any data.
It works fine on my Ipad. It also worked on both of these computers pre-root.

If you have the connection saved on your laptops you may delete them and reestablish them or double check ssid names and the password. Hotspot will work on CM9 with laptops.

The same thing happens to me, all you have to do is be patient. It takes all little time but the screen that asks you what type of connection it is will pop up. Public, home, etc.
After picking one you'll have no problems. Happens every time I use the hot spot thing

Thanks! This worked perfectly. I went into my network and sharing center - > manage networks and deleted the Android connection, then restarted my computer and bam!

802.1x EAP issues

My school(Umass Amherst) uses 802.1x EAP protocol, and I'm having issues connecting to the network. First off I had no issues connecting to the network with my htc one and cm 10.1. The oddest thing is when I first booted my Nexus 5 it connected to the network WITHOUT me even entering in my username and password. However, after unlocking the bootloader which reset my phone I cannot connect to the network. I've tried using the school's step by step method which uses an app called xpressconnect. No luck. If anyone has any insight, it would be much appreciated.

Arg... this is so frustrating!!! I have tried every possible angle with this. I absolutely need to be able to connect to my school's network! I'm going to have to return this amazing phone if I can't solve this

Hey, at the college where I work, we also use 802.11x for authentication and I haven't had an issue with my N5. We also use XpressConnect as the wifi wizard but I just manually set up my connections. I have tried our staff and student wireless networks without issue. The settings are the same but we adjust access based on where your college id is located in AD. I haven't come in contact with another N5 yet.
One thing I do when I can't get student devices to connect to our wifi, is I reset their password to their default password, even if it already is the default password. No clue what it does but devices connect right away-you might want to try going to your school's help desk / IT department and ask them to reset your password or do it through the college's website if thats available. Sometimes, just a password change enables devices to get on the network.
Hope it helps...

[Q] N5 5.0.1 Wifi not remembering to save my home network. Have to re-enter password.

For some reason my phone won't remember the password to my home network. When I disconnect from it, it never actually saves it. If I click the network to connect, it prompts me for the password again. This seems limited to my router here, as other saved networks seem to connect automatically just fine.
Any suggestions? My laptop has no problem auto-connecting, nor does my OPO.

Try rebooting your router as the first step, even though other things connect.

Not able to connect to school wifi

So a few weeks ago I received an update ota for my nexus(unrooted). Everything seemed normal until I tried to connect to my school wifi. Before the update the wifi worked fine at school. For some reason when I try to connect now nothing happens,it says connecting for about a second then it's just blank as though I hadn't tried to connect to it at all. I have deleted the network and tried to reconnect and it still doesn't work. I have also factory reset my phone and still no luck. My wifi still works at home too. The first time log in onto the school wifi gives a prompt that asks for user id and password (not web based or internet pop up based login) through the android os, it is a one time login. Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

Wifi Mobile Tethering

Hi All,
I hope im not duplicating this question ( i have searched with no results).
Recently Ive been having a problem with the mobile tethering from the tablet. My phone shows connecting, connects for a few seconds and disconnects. This happens a few times then it shows the message Authentication Error.
Im trying to connect my Note 5 which is on 5.1.1 but the tablet is on 5.0.2.
I have tried the following already:
Changed SSID to a different name;
I changed the broadcast channel to a specific channel;
I cleared data of Google Services Framework (messed up the syncing of my Google account but resolved this);
I changed the password;
I changed from Allowed devices only to all devices and back;
Removed security and password to connect;
Deleted the device as an allowed device and re-added it.
On the Note 5:
I forgot the network and reconnected;
I reset settings in the backup and reset menu (this is missing on the tablet)
The phone connects to other wifi networks.
Ive noticed the issue starts in my office but at home I manage to connect sometimes. It does disconnect from time to time.
This started about a month back, before that it connected without any issues. Any ideas what i should check or reset to resolve this? I don't want to do a factory reset. Connecting via bluetooth works perfectly still.
Thank you,

Any help please?
Any ideas why the tethering would not work at certain locations?
