Anyone else having issues with bluetooth tethering dropping out? (rooted but stock rom )
It appears to happen randomly, and the only way that I can get it started again is to turn off bluetooth on the nexus 5, turn it back on again and restart bluetooth tethering then re-connect my device.
There are no issues/problems with tethering by my phone operator as my deal has unlimited all you can eat data with all you can use unlimited tethering included.

I am having problems with applications on the phone not being able to communicate when wireless tethering is turned on. Examples are Google Talk and Touchdown both quit working when I enable the wireless hotspot. I have a wireless Xoom and use the hotspot for it to connect. Other applications on the nexus seem to work like the browser and the market. Google talk comes up with 'Network currently unavailable. Will connect automatically when available.' As soon as I disable the hotspot it connects. Anybody else having problems with wireless tether?
Yes, I've noticed when I'm connected to 4g and turn on Wireless hotspot or USB tethering my 4g icon turns grey and I am no longer connected to 4g. I've repeatedly checked to in different locations around my city, and at different times of the day. Same behavior. Something tells me its not coincidence.
When I activate tethering (via WIFI or USB) using Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Tethering & Portable Hotspot, I lose the "3G" icon in my notification bar.
My laptop receives an IP address from the phone but no DNS routing. My phone is unable to receive data of any kind, including Google Voice messages.
This seems like a communication issue between my phone and Sprint when tethering is active. Did I miss a firmware or radio upgrade somewhere?
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0 on my Nexus S 4G. Baseband D720SPRKE1.
you shouldn't lose 3g...you will lose your 4g, but 3g should stay active. you can try pda net, barnacle, and easy tether if you'd like another solution (fyi, for ns4g, pda net's usb tether will allow a 4g connection )
*edit*
noticed you're running CM7...it may be a bug with that rom, and installing a 3rd party tether app should solve it for you
So I have a new Razr HD and I've rooted it and done the hotspot hack but when I connected my computer to the phone to use the internet it drops my data for 5 seconds. Once it comes back as soon as the 4G LTE symbol turns blue it will drop again and it repeats this until I disable wifi on my computer. Wifi tether and USB tether all have the same results as the hotspot app. Does anyone know what could be causing this or what I can do to fix this. I have 5 bars and it NEVER drops unless I've connected a computer to it. I have unlimited data and it's an employee account (relative) so I really don't see what the hell is the issue.

I'm using PDANET+ for USB tethering and it works perfect, and wifi tether Trevor mod for wireless tethering. No more throttled tethering. No more disconnects. The factory hotspot/tethering still drops my 4G.
So I'm attempting to use WiFi tether router. I'm on stock OF6 rooted. It works for approximately 10-20 minutes and then the WiFi on my phone toggles off. WiFi tether router stays on but of course, ceases functioning. Any ideas?
I have keep WiFi on during sleep set to always and everything else in advanced unchecked. I've tried the two WiFi options in WiFi tether router on and off. I have sprint connection optimizer turned off.
I'm having the same problem, it keeps disconnecting after several minutes. The phone shows the WiFi Tether Router running normally, but it disconnects from my iPad and disappears from my list of wireless networks. If I disable and restart, it again works for several minutes, then disconnects

Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem ????
Hi! Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if they know of a fix;
While using my Pixel as a hotspot, it occasionally will automatically turn my wifi on and thus turning off the hotspot.
Not this is where it gets weird;
I got an app to force my wifi off. (This happens when I play Overwatch on PC by the way). While mid game, it will disconnect me, but the hotspot will still be on and wifi will be off like it should be. I get forced logged out and it locks my account due to "suspicious activity". Same thing will happen to my girlfriend while she plays with me as well on my hotspot.
Could this be because the phone will change the IP address (is that the right term I'm looking for?) While using the hotspot?
It's super frustrating​ and I don't have any apps that I know of that mess with my wifi settings.
I'm on 7.1.2 with a Verizon Google Pixel.
Thanks in advance if anyone reads all this and maybe knows the issue!
