I've been trying to figure out how to re-enable the built-in wireless tethering within Nexus 9 for a while now, but have never found a solution. Similar solutions that were posted for Nexus 6 doesn't seem to work for us. Did anyone else ever have any success enabling it?

I second this. The hotspot option gets disabled when I insert my ATT sim. And yes I do have a tethering plan.
Why until now no solution for hotspot on nexus 9
Hmm,maybe I get you wrong but mine is working.
Current running slimrom 7.1.2.

I have heard that nexus 5 does not support tethering. Could anyone who has a nexus 5 at hand test it?
Isn't it more of a software than hardware feature. All of my phones have had WiFi tethering thanks to AOKP.

Teathering is a native option, and has been for quite a while... nothings changed in 4.4. Jeeeenx is right it is a software thing, so some carriers choose to disable it. Technically I'm not allowed to do it on my contract, but the carrier has no way of knowing if you do or not.

Yup its software. Every phone has had WiFi tethering, it was even built into the stock ROM.

Yes you can. You can set-up USB tethering, Bluetooth tethering, and also setup portable wi-fi hotspot
I hope so. However, i got this info from reliable source so i just want to see whether anyone has tried that or not. I am guessing google intentionally disabled it or it is not ready for kitkat?
There's usually an app for that.

The google n5/kit kat demo video from the UK (Androidizen? or similar ) , showed the same tethering/hotspot feature we have on our google Gnex and n4.

Got my Nexus 5 today from CFW. I can confirm tethering works fine.

5Ghz Wifi Tethering?
Question, has anyone tried Wifi tethering on the 5GHz band? In 4.3 and lower tethering only worked on 2.4Ghz no matter what I set the phone to use... just wondering if this changed at all in KitKat?

You can use MyFi app available on Google Play:

I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S Relay, which is unlocked, and it is working fine here in the UK. I love the phone, as I am a fan of a slide out keyboard.
But I would also like to use the wifi hotspot feature. Once I get my head round what the CM udpate does, and how I install it, I will probably take the plunge and have a go.
In the meantime, I could do with something simple to get the wifi hotspot working. I tried the myfi app suggested here, which appeared to turn the hotspot on, but it did not actually do so because it was not visible from any other device.
So is there a patch to enable the wifi hotspot on this phone? If so, where can I find it and how do I install it?
(none of the links in this thread seemed to take me to the patch).
Many thanks,
Pete
Has anyone found any way to get non-root tethering to work? PDAnet+ USB tethering works, but I'm trying to see if there's a means to get wifi tethering to work. None of the online methods I've found seem to work with the Z3.

I'm using the stock app for tethering and it works just fine. Does the stock app not work for you?
Does your T-Mobile plan include tethering? @lowfatcreamcheese
My plan does not include tethering.
Same situation here... Did you find a way to do it?
Am always on the go cause of work and school so WiFi tether is a must for me.
I think root is the only way you're going to have wifi tethering. I really like the phone but between QC issues and losing some root options like tethering I'm starting to wonder if I should have stuck with the galaxy line.
Okay guess am not getting it... I have the LG g3 and I was thinking of getting the z3 but WiFi tether is very important for. Thanks for me. Thanks for the reply

On the T mobile firmware, when you start the hotspot it checks for a brief second your account so some system app tells t mobile you're enabling it.
On my previous T mobile Xperia Z I used a generic firmware so the hotspot worked no matter if you have the hotspot service or not.
On my t mobile Z3 I have hotspot service so the tether works great via wifi, bluetooth or usb.
Typed on my Xperia Z3 while underwater.
I guess it's going to be moot in a month or so. TMobile sent me a postcard, looks like they're getting rid of grandfathered plans. I believe all plans minus maybe the prepaid ones have tethering now.
Hi everyone, I'm creating this thread because for a while now I've been trying to use mobile hotspot and it doesn't seem to connect. When toggle hotspot on it turns on then shuts off. I go into HotSpot settings and try to turn it on that way and it tells me that I need to contact my carrier. I'm on AT&T. I was wondering if anybody else have this problem.

I have the same issue, I use Cricket as my carrier and the Pixel 2 isn't on their list of "officially supported hotspot devices." My S7 edge however would work just fine because it's on that list. I've been meaning to go to the Cricket store and see if there's anything they can do but there probably isn't. If you aren't afraid of rooting your shiny new device there's a stack exchange article on how to enable it on the Nexus 6P running Oreo 8.1. I don't know of any reason why that same method wouldn't work on the Pixel 2.
PS it won't let me post the link to the article because I'm a "new" user. Sorry.
No problem tethering on AT&T here.

How? Do you have this setup through att? Or did you somehow hack it?

It just works, I dunno. I'm stock, unrooted.
There is a magisk module to do this

Sorry to threadres, but @gvsukids, do you know the name of the module? I don't see anything in the default list.

The module I found in this thread worked for me on AT&T w/ magisk 16.4.
Tethering Enabler for Magisk
Hope it works.
Anyone else having this issue ?? It connects fine but no internet at all. I have a Chinese device with Global rom
I had the same thing with my carrier in Japan. I no longer run stock so I don't have a solution for you. Sorry.

Anyone having this issue ? I'm wondering if it has to do with the global ROM?
Ok phone Verizon and they were able to fix it. Apparently all they had to do is turn the feature off and back on

What did you say to Verizon when you called? I just spoke with them and they turned off the hotspot feature, then re-synced the network settings and it's still doing the "Connected, no internet". Did you have them change anything else or change any other settings on the phone?
Does anyone have any more information on this issue? I just went in to a Verizon store and watched them disable the feature, rebooted my phone, and still have the same "Connected, no internet" issue. I know the hotspot on my account works since I can put my SIM in my LG V30 and use it fine. Any other suggestions?? It's not a huge deal but I would really like to get the hotspot working
