Used to use WiFi tether router but it's not working on the lollipop update.
Anyone know an app that works and bypasses the t-mobile tether data limit?
Wifi tether Router App still working on LP 5.02 with these setting:-
Encryption = wpa2-psk
Wifi Channel = 1
Interface = wlan0
method = 2.Android version 4.2 OR Higher
**also from the phone wifi setting you have to uncheck Allow wi-fi scanning.
** after you enable wifi router you have to wait about
20 sec to strat to see the router name on your pc wifi list.
I tried the adb shell command described here and it works with the stock tether app.
I have no issues with stock wifi tether on 30b

I cant get this app to work since the update from tMobile last week. Emailed the app developer he had me try a few things (Method 3) but nothing worked for me. Other PCs just don't see the SSID at all. After a few days of trying App developer gave up saying other users are having no trouble with his app in Andriod 5 with the same phone.

I am unfortunately unable to post a reply within the original thread with this fix as it is in the Development forum. So here it is..
I have applied the wpa_supplicant fix from this thread:

I can now see Ad-hoc networks but when trying to connect to it I am stuck at Obtaining IP Address.
Connecting to Infrastructure networks works fine. Other devices can connect to my Ad-Hoc network. But the Xoom will not obtain an IP Address.
I have tried setting static IP and using open DNS options such as Google's DNS servers but that doesn't work either.
I am using a canadian wi-fi only xoom. I have updated to the most recent US Xoom, Wi-Fi only firmware from Motorola and used this method for the root and unlock:

I am trying to tether to a Samsung i5700 that is rooted using WiFi Tether or Barnacle. Both do the same thing.
I've also tried bluetooth tethering but the two devices will pair but not connect.
Mine does that too where it will hang on Obtaining IP address just make sure your phone is on meaning the screen is on (showing wifi tether.) For some reason it can run but not connect very well while the screen is off. Don't know why this is, but it's been only a minor inconvenience.
Even with the phone screen on, showing the wifi tether screen it doesn't connect. And when I assign a static IP address Wifi Tether never notifies that a client has connected.
running ics. i went ahead and disabled TetheringProvision.apk. i am able to turn on wifi hotspot through Widgetsoid. The signal is broadcasted but my pc is unable to connect. i have tried multiple other apps such as foxfi or pdanet+ but they also broadcast and i cannot connect. i have a rooted phone and can go ahead and use wifi tether but i would love to use the built in t mobile hotspot app through widgetsoid's wifi widget.
also, i am able to usb tether. BUT I WANT WIFI HOTSPOT!
NVM. ended up using http://forums.techguy.org/networking/1001732-solved-laptop-will-not-connect.html and just did some security key changing...and it worked!
Hi,
I have multiple devices at home using the WiFi fine (iPad, Laptops...)
But with two android devices (Nexus 5 and Galaxy S 4, both on unmodified) I have the same problem.
It connects to the network, and works just fine, but after some time, there isn't any internet connection, although it shows as if it's still connected.
By disabling and enabling Wifi I get internet connection again, but it's really annoying.
Here's my setup:
Edimax router as AP
2.4 GHz (B+G+N)
Visible ESSID
Channel number 6
Encryption: WPA 2 (AES) pre-shared key (passphrase)
No MAC Filtering
EDIT: This router is a switch with wireless, it is connected to a diffrent router that is connected to the internet.
What can I do? Should I modify any of my WiFi settings?
Thanks!
did you try to disable energy saver?

If asking you're whether I had disabled the WiFi optimization in the WiFi settings, yes I have...
I have just only remembered that this router is actually a switch with wireless. The internet is connected to the other router, which is connected to the router i'm asking about (EDIMAX) which acts as a switch.
Hi All,
I have to OTA KitKat 4.4.4. running on my Nexus 5 and I can't connect to any Open WiFi hotspots.
That is ones that do not have any security set.
I have even not been able to connect to Netgear DGN1000 with it's OOTB settings of SSID: NETGEAR and no security.
Any thoughts...
Are you getting an error message? Do these open networks perhaps have MAC ID filtering?

No error message, and MAC filtering should not be on where I first tried as it was a public wifi hotspot.
I have since removed all stored profiles and then re-booted, as per instructions elsewhere. Since then I can connect to the guest network on my dd-wrt powered router, so I think that have helped.
Not been near a public wifi hotspot since, will report back when I do.
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone was able to get Wifi Tether Router to work on their phone to use their phones as a mobile hotspot. I transferred over my old settings from my Note 4 and I'm able to connect to it and it actually works for about 5 mins before it stops working. If i restore the same settings again via Titanium Backup it will work again for another 5 mins. Is there something I need to do to hold onto the working settings? Or am I doomed? I saw that TTObo created a technical guide to hide tethering usage on H830 but don't know how to compile an APK for xposed. Also I know that this works and I am wondering if there is some change I need to make to fully make it work.
Here are my settings thus far:
Wifi Tether Router 6.1.5
Wifi Channel: 1
Interface: wlan0
Method: HostApd
No Firmware Reload: UNCHECKED
Drives: nl80211
Wifi Mode: G
Prevents Stand-By: CHECKED
HostApd Patch: UNCHECKED
HostApd Survival: UNCHECKED
No Disable Wifi: UNCHECKED
Any other settings not mentioned explicitly above are not checked.
Please let me know if anyone else has working settings!!

Which settings are you using. I wonder if there's a difference between the G4 and G5 regarding the settings needed to make it work?
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
not sure why you are trying to use a third-party app instead of the built in hotspot app.... but you did go into your APN settings and change your protocol to IPV4 as the app suggests in the description?
if other devices can connect to your hotspot but can't connect out your culprit will be with the APN or app itself, if you can not get devices to connect to your hotspot it'll be the app itself. it'll either broadcast or it wont.
