Hi All...
So after much wait, I decided to jump on the Tablet band wagon.
I opted to get a WiFi only tablet as I had all intentions to Tether my Evo (Rooted).
I am now aware of the Ad-Hoc WiFi issue with the Xoom after doing some research and all i can say is W T F!?.
Is there ANYWAY to get this thing to connect to my WiFi Tether Evo ?
I've downloaded the experimental 3.0 WiFi Tether app from Google code...The Xoom now picks up AndroidTether..but will not connect. Stuck at "Obtaining IP Address"...
I'm close to returning this thing...I was going to wait for the Acer Iconia to drop in a few weeks but got impatient...I might stick to the original plan...
Any Ideas ?
Does the Xoom need to be rooted to get it to connect?
WHATS THE DEAL WITH THIS?!
Thanks.
I don't have any issues tethering my wifi only zoom to my evo. I am using the hacked sprint hotspot app that comes in Calkulin's Evio2 rom. I think you can download just the hotspot app and install it on any deodexed rom.
Here is the link:

I'm running CM7 on my evo, and I use the built in wifi hotspot on that. I dont think the Evo hacks can tether 4g, but the 3g tether is great. Browsing speeds are fast and reliable, but I wouldnt use it for youtube or anything like that.
The Sprint HotSpot app doesnt tether 4G, right? Or does it?
I'm on CM7 RC4.
Turn on Bluetooth and use the bluetooth feature in Wireless Tether and not WiFi.

Cant get the Xoom to discover my Evo.
I havent even had a chance to enjoy the Xoom..what a headache.
Bluetooth tether doesn't work on the evo. I just use the hotspot built into CM7 on mine, never had an issue with it. 4g works too.

I am rooted on my evo with the stock rom. Running wireless tether 2.0.5-pre11. Works like a champ with the XOOM.

Are you on RC4?
I literally JUST fixed my problem...
Just flashed over to a Sense rom from CM7 RC4..
The Normal WiFi Tether app (non-experimental) works just fine.
I'd love to stay on CM7....
if it werent for the quick tether i'd be on MikZ i think. It's stupid ammounts of fast and HTC has some of the best apps IMO
I had this exact problem last week. Neither the latest version of Tether, or the Experimental 3.0 worked.
I finally installed one of the fixed Vaelpak versions and it worked great. Let me know if you need the file and I can get it to you.

If you can use the Vaelpak version and encryption, I would like to have it.

My rooted Evo running myn 2.2 RLS 5 works fine running unencrypted using wireless tether and 3g or 4g. A no go with bluetooth.
Encrypted tether is a no go also.
I am running Sprint Lovers ROM on my EVO and have no issues with tethering the Xoom. I have done it with both the modded Sprint Hotspot app and the WiFi Tether app.
Will the WIFI Tether work with a temporary root ?
Hello everyone, I am using liquid thundersense with the newest drodspeed kernel...I keep trying to use wireless tether and my computer recognizes that the hotspot is available but then when i connect to it on the computer i get no internet connection. I am not sure what i can do here because the verizon pre-installed mobile hotspot app works fine like it should. If anyone can help me out with fixing this i would really appreciate it...I searched and couldnt find anything
Thanks a lot

i'll go ahead and type this before you get flamed...but the wifi tether fix should work for you or a newer one...i know it's out there because this use to be a problem for several others as well.
Could you point me to where i could find this fix please?
Can anyone help me out with this issue?
Try out a different version of wifi tether http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Also keep in mind you get free official hotspot with Verizon and the TBolt until May 15.
Hi !
Here is my question (sorry if it has already been asked...)
Since i updated to JB, i can't connect to the wifi hotspots.
I live in France, and am a Free mobile user.
I use freewifi connect app, but it fail to login everytime...
I tried with many ROM, but nothing...
Do somebody know any tips?
Thanks in advance!
A Little up, cause i still can't find any solution to make this f%&#in app running!
I also tried the other freewifi apps, but sameway....
only way to connect on hotspots is passing threw the freewifi website but have to check the connection to often: tried....
Custom AOSP ROM should have Wifi tether. How about trying the app Wifi Tether for Root User? I used to use it when I was on rooted stock Touchwiz.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
Edit: just realized this is NS forum and I thought I was in the GS3 forum LOL. I'm a veteran on this NS forum btw . But that app worked for me.

maybe I'm wrong, but it appears op is wanting to connect his ns to a WiFi hotspot, not use his ns to create a WiFi hotspot...
OP, what ROM are you running?

You're right!
I'm trying to connect to a Wifi hotspot!
I'm actually running Blackbean 6, but also tried some other ROMs like PA, Slimbean, TSM... No way to make it run! :S

did you do a full wipe, including /system & /boot?
Sent from my ns4g using Tapatalk 2
Yup!
Everytime that i flash, i wipe everything...
Today i tried on GB, and like ICS: no problem...
I believe this issue is over my head... hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I can help
Sent from my ns4g using Tapatalk 2
did you try a different wifi connection to determine if it's really your phone's problem? maybe the wifi signal is slow that's why it can't connect.
In fact, At home i got internet via FREE (web provider).
Each free boxes include one hotspot. So i can say that the signal is the best that i can get!
I think that it may be an app problem, is there any universal hotspot app to try?
Hey I can just say that I was in France recently and couldn't connect to any of those free wifi spots
Hmmm
It may be cause you need to have an ID & pass !
have you tried unchecking the "avoid poor connections" under advanced settings? thats the last thing I can think of.
Sent from my ns4g using Tapatalk 2
As said previously, i have a hotspot at home (Best way for making tests...)
Also, as it works on GB & ICS, why not on JB? :banghead:
try removing the password of your wifi hotspot at home then see if you can connect.
Not a bad idea!
At work right now (ICS & hotspot running...), gonna take a look later!
The idea was not so bad, but in fact i can't put blank password....
Any suggestion is welcome!
I'd you are rooted, backup with Titanium or similar app, backup SD card, wipe phone of everything (data, cache, system, boot). Format SD through the computer.
Now flash factory. Guide:

If the problem still persists it is probably hardware. Use warranty or pay to have it fixed.

Hi!!
Don't want to hurt you, but i think that an harware issue would really surprise me, as it run perfectly on GB or ICS (actualy on ICS RR, perfect hotspot connection At work...).
Anyway! Just saw that last TSM is out, gonna take a look! ^^
EDIT: can't understand how it's possible, but working on last TSM... another try on BB6 later...
A few people have had the same issue, so I thought I'd start a thread on this disturbing new development. Was there some kind of update that FoxFi hotspot will not activate? No changes in settings or anything. Was working fine yesterday. Any ideas?
Same problem for me

Exact same problem for me. I changed literally ZERO settings and have not updated a single app today at ALL (my phone is not set to update apps automatically, I have to do it manually so I am POSITIVE that Foxfi has not updated at all). I wirelessly tether with Foxfi literally every single day for work and it worked fine for me this afternoon at approx. 2pm EST and when I went to use it again at approx. 4:45pm EST it did not work, I got the "You need a subscription" error when turning on the hotspot. I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled and it still doesn't work. I am rooted and on AOC3 if that helps.
Any ideas? Or any other app that will work besides installing a custom rom? This is a MAJOR disappoinment.

It's a huge disappointment considering I deliberately lost root to take the 5.1.1 update, thinking Fox Fi would work just fine for ever. Seriously thinking of reactivating either my old S3 or m7. The USB internet share works fine, but I need the WiFi tether to work so I can use my printer. A dark day indeed.
Just came across this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/verizon-killed-foxfi-tethering-people-t3253649
Working wifi hotspot alternative to foxfi on Verizon S6
Foxfi also stopped working for me yesterday. I found an alternative app however and verified it works on a Verizon Galaxy s6. On google play store for $3ish... "WiFi Tether Router"
It requires root, so not everyone will be able to use it. I am on a rooted Verizon s6 G920VVRU1A0E2. Other people in the comments of that app are also indicating its working on Verizon. that firmware is the newest I am aware of that can be rooted.... but i have not checked in a while so maybe you can root the updated versions now. Either way its worth going back to a slightly older version for a wifi tether that works.
Hey guys I'm having the same problem with my gs6 on version I still have unlimited data tho so what are my alternatives? Anyone have a link to how to root my GS6 and is Wifi Teather Root the only way to go after Imy rooted.
That's it.... This phone going on swappa going back to s5 and will order a nexus 6p or 5x
For anyone who really needs their cell phone internet on another machine, I have a temporary work around solution. I was able to use the USB Tether with PDAnet+ and run a shared connection over ethernet to my other devices. (In this instance I'm running an ethernet cable from my PC to my Xbox One). You want to go to the Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings and open the interface that represents the connection between your PC and your USB tether. Go to the Sharing tab and check the box for "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection." Then run an ethernet cable from the PC to any other device that also has an ethernet port and it should work. I have not tried running a router from this ethernet cable, but it may be worth a shot. That is all I needed to do on my Window's 7 PC. I also tried turning my Macbook Pro on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 into an access point and going to the Sharing settings and setting it up, but even though my Xbox and other devices could see the AP they were not able to access the internet. I hope these instructions might get someone out of a jam!
Edit: To clarify, my Verizon Galaxy S6 is not rooted and is on the latest software update released by Verizon.

I can confirm that "Wifi Tether Router" app does work. It seems to take a long time to turn it on/off each time, but it does work. I do wonder how long it will work though until Verizon blocks this too......
Tethering works fine with Root. I don't think there is a way for vzw to block that

Why are you using a third party app if you're rooted? The native tethering app is the most reliable and doesn't need to go through a vpn.
I suspect verizon blocked the vpn that foxfi is using.
Well, my S6 has now achieved the status of really expensive paperweight. I just reactivated my old S3 still bootloader unlocked and rooted, now running 5.1.1 AOSP ROM, using native WiFi hotspot, no Verizon bloatware, no ads, simple and effective. Much better experience, and it still remarkably has developer support.
Anyone want to buy a nice paperweight?
J/k I'll most likely hang onto my S6 on the off chance some genius is able to unlock it someday when the planets are aligned just right.

You don't need a custom rom to enable it. I believe there is some flashable .zip that would do it.

Thanks for sharing! I really need to get up to speed on this device more often, I had no idea anyone made that and to be honest at first I assumed you didn't know wtf you were taking about (sorry haha). Just tried it and it is certainly much nicer than the 3rd party apps. I didn't think this phone really even had development support.

Hi everyone.
Since android 9, all my hotspot software seems non-functional. WIFI tether router and FoxFi. Which is a shame because I paid money for these in the past and had great results.
I'm trying to get around any Tmobile restrictions on data (cap) and agent detection from using the built in hotspot. Any one have any suggestions on what may be working these days?
I believe the current issue is the latest changes/versioning of Android in the forms of patching security issues that have existed in the past.
Thanks so much for your help!

Im using still oreo, try vpn hotspot. Works perfectly for me, however I don't know how it will work with pie.
Contact FoxFi, they will do their best to help you. Last time I used it was over usb without any issue.

Thanks Netgar. I was able to get it functioning after going into developer options and selecting use hardware acceleration which was turned off for some reason.
Not sure if it bypasses the recording mechanism for tmboile hotspot. Ill update later on the results.
