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)

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.

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. .

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.

I use FoxFi. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi
I would like to know this as well.
Before ICS I would use the popular WiFi Tether app, using a Device-Profile of "Samsung Galaxy S" and Setup-Method "Netd (master)" and it worked perfectly with no errors. Now on ICS with the same settings and build it starts up, but with an error. Almost everything in the log has a successful green "done" status, the only thing that failed is "activating wifi interface".
Any ideas?
Ok ive done nothing and now my tether hotspot is now unlocked and I can use it without any apps on ics
Forget me I figured it out

From tethering tap 'Portable Wi-Fi hotspot', then Menu -> Configure(Wi-Fi hotspot)
...
Also noticed that tapping the '3 sliders' on the left toggle between 'all devices can be connected' vs. 'only allowed devices can be connected' via MAC filtering.
Regular Android WIFI Tether is working for me, set the Device Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
I would like to see native Hotspot working though, I can tell the difference between native and 3rd party apps.

YW. I went through three different roms, including earlier versions of Superlite. The new version (7.0) has been really stable for me. I can go a week without a crash. The only thing not working at the moment are specific retail apps (Starbucks and Groupon).

What part of tethering exactly isn't working for you? I've got an interesting case that I'm trying to resolve. Tethering works fine for me on 3G & HSPA , but as soon as I get an LTE signal my tethered devices lose connectivity, though the phone itself is still good. I tried one of the earliest nightlies and I just tried the stable release, same story. I've flashed every radio I can find recommended for the skyrocket and CM10. Sadly I have to use tethering daily for work so I've had to roll back to CM9.
Tethering is working fine on CM10 nightlies and stable with regular or 4.2 gapps.

Hey Thanks for the reply aycockonxion. So you've used it successfully when connected to LTE? I wonder what could possibly be wrong with my device then, wow...
I've tried radios but I really don't think that's the case since LTE works great, and even while a device is not functioning while connected to the hotspot, the phone itself still maintains a good fast internet connection. It sounds like it's a software problem all the way in my limited understanding of things. The funny thing is too that the devices connected to the hotspot will think they do have internet. As in, the browser will sit there trying to load a page until it times out. The moment I shut down tethering, the browser immediately recognizes the connection is lost and won't even try to load the site. Also bear in mind the moment I reinstall CM9 it all works perfectly.

Hey tmimaesk, yeah that's exactly what I've got. I've not tried superlite without gapps as you have, I expect the phone isn't practically functional without gapps installed, so I won't bother trying. I'm glad I'm not alone with this problem (sorry), but misery does love company! thankfully CM9 works great so it's not the end of the world, just a pain to not have the latest and greatest!

Hotspot works just fine in every CM10 ROM I've ever tried (3 or 4 of them so far.) Most recently I've been using car vs. driver's CvD-Nibbles and it works like a champ. I was running wifi tether all day long for almost two weeks thanks to Hurricane Sandy taking out my cable connection.
Tether aside, Nibbles is a brilliant ROM and I recommend it to anyone looking to try something new.
Worked fine on slimbean 3.0 and r4ins aokp November 4/8/16 builds

CM-10.0.0, AT&T, Wi-Fi hotspot works on LTE and HSPA, open and WPA2-PSK.
Hmm I heard that LTE hotspot works if there's no encryption for the SSId
but mine never worked with encryption since I use my hotspot in public places
I dont know if theres anything different from AT&T and Rogers..
I use Rogers and may be Ill try the above roms tonight

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.
