Is the phone rooted?
If your phone is rooted, put the phone into airplane mode. Enable WiFi and connect to a router. Go into market and look for wireless tether for root users. That should work and you don't need to mess with APN settings. .

Not yet I was trying avoid this but I saw one that does the 4g and keeps it looking stock so I'm going to try and do it tonight but it looks hard

Hardest part (which is really not that hard) is creating the goldcard. After that its pretty straight forward. Look in the Dev's section for tools that'll help you with the whole process.

[Q] A little help with Backuptrans?

Hi guys, I have a Samsung Infuse on the MIUI rom and I just purchased a Iphone 4 and I would like to move to sms to my Iphone so I downloaded Backuptrans and its exactly what I was looking for but the only problem is it do not recognize my Infuse.
I was wondering if there was any fix for this problem I have debugging on and I installed drivers I was hoping it wasn't MIUI's fault.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, you can try connecting your Android to the software via WiFi. Just update your backuptans software to the latest version then you will get the Wifi connection option.

Tethering help :(

Hey guys,
Here's what, my phone manages to establish a connection with my computer just fine, as it is able to with other devices. But apparently, it does NOT share my 3g while it's at it. I guess it's a common problem?

Oh and bluetooth tethering does not work either(similarly)

I'm not calling you a noob or any other name like that. Just search the development thread for "enable built in WiFi hot spot" and there it is. I literally found it in seconds, and you can too.

The only way that I know of to tether without root is to pay your carrier a fee (most probably a monthly fee) to enable it for you.
There are apps in the playstore that are supposed to work, but I haven't tried any so I can't say how well they work.

NUMA is my main ROM and I haven't had any problems tethering with it. It should be enabled by default, though. Are you using the native tethering app?

WiFi or USB? I've only used WiFi, but not in a while so I'll double check it when I get home in a couple of hours. As far as USB tethering goes, I may be wrong but I think you'd have to have something installed on your computer that supports it. A friend of mine uses PDAnet on both his phone and PC to USB tether his desktop but I don't know if something like that is required.

[Q] WiFi Tether from Nexus 5 to PS3 problems

Hey guys. Can some one please tell me what i should do on my Nexus to get it to connect to the PS3?
So I've scoured the forums looking for my exact problem but to no avail. I am trying to connect my wifi hotspot to my ps3 to watch netflix basically. I can get the wifi connected from phone to computer with no problem (thats what im using now). However, when i scan my PS3 for wifi signals, the only thing thats comes up are the usual wifi signals from the neioghbors. I've tried all the settings i can find on the web but nothing works, like changing device info to Optimus 2 and softap. I'm using a rooted Nexus with the Wifi tether app. under Settings, Change device, i dont see my phone make or madel. Maybe that has something to do with it. I have no idea... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
A guy who just wants to watch netflix on his stupid ps3

Sorry I should have added that the wifi hotspot that comes with my phone only works if I subscribe to it, adding extra to my bill. It turns on yes but no data is transferred that way.

Foxfi With Sprint

Can anyone confirm their foxfi tethering is still working with Sprint? Mine was working and recently started failing. I'm trying to determine if it's Sprint or my phone that broke it. Thx
Nevermind, it's working again. The setup I made on my phone was reset somehow.

As long as your rooted, you should be able to manipulate tethering.

I have Sprint unlimited data. All I do is use Sql editor to edit the Apn settings. Only because on Sprint it's greyed out. But i have no issues. Nothing beats the native hotspot.
