Hey guys when I use wireless tether whenever I set encryption and a password it won't show that the connection is secure when I try to connect. Anyone can connect to it, and it says "unsecured". I really don't like how other people can connect to my connection is there a fix for this?
I have the same issue, the encryption and password settings in the app seem to have no effect and anyone can connect. I have v1.6 running Fresh 1.1 rom.
What seems to work (prob not too secure though) is the access control function in the app, If you enable it and tether your desired PC(s) and check them off in the access control list, when a unrecognized PC connects you get a warning icon in the notification bar.
When I tested it the PC not checked in the access control list could not connect to the internet, even though it had a wireless connection to the phone. So it seems this may help prevent someone else from thethering to your phone.
Same issue here, never found a fix. Just been using Access Control...
You really just need to turn AC on. This way you have to give connections permission to connect. Its a known issue that the password protection is broken. - really kinda useless on an Ad-Hoc anyways, nativly not the most secure thing made.
Don't ask too much from the devs of that app, they have 5+ phones to support all with different issues/methods/kernels. I think its an excelent App for free.
I used Wireless Tether once before and it worked flawlessly. I then changed the SSID and passphrase and now it shows that i'm connected on my laptop, but it won't connect to the internet it takes forever to stop tething and stays running on the backround, so I deleted it. Where do find it to try and redownload it?

Make sure you download the 1.60 version
Go with v1.70-pre2, it resolves the overheating issue:

Nice! I was reluctant to try it, due to it saying it was for Donut.

I redownloaded and it still won't recognize my laptop, could it be that I am using a linksys card and don't have internal wireless? Is there a way to manually enter in a computer into the access control?
I have a Bluetooth tether enabled Android phone and Android Tablet.
Does anyone know what app (widget) can specifically connect the tablet to the Phone's bluetooth tether? one click?
without going into the settings?
Try WiFi Manager. There are different set of widgets. You can ask google too.
Took a look at Wifi Manager on the play store, the description does not mention anything about Bluetooth.

Doesn't the device connect automagically when you switch bt on? I only have to pair my devices once and the connect upon turning bt on.
No, Bluetooth tethering doesn't automatically connect.
It wouldn't make sense to.
What if WiFi is already connected?
What if your bt headphone is always supposed to be connected but you don't always need Bluetooth tethering?
In any case, I solved the problem by using Tasker annd secure settings.
It will automatically connect to the cell phone's bluetooth tether when I launch the web browser or youtube or gmail if wifi is not connected.
Gotta love android. You can make your own solutions!

I used to use unlock with wifi/skiplock to turn off lock at home, but it is not supported under lolipop.
Smart Unlock in lolipop only give you GPS unlock or BT unlock, no wifi. GPS doenst work if you live in a condo, so BT it is.
Problem is I dont want to buy a speaker for home, and leave it on just to use it as an unlock dongle. I have an iMac and a PC with a BT dongle. Both are on 24/7 at home. Doest anyone know of any app, I could use which would force the PC or iMac to reconnect to the phone, to trigger and maintain unlock while the phone is home.
By default if you connect with BT to pc or iMac there is no hands free type of profile that would maintain connection. All the file transfer profiles, autodisconnect if there is no file transfer. I got BT Auto Connect for android, and it works, problem is it tried to connect as last connected profile, which is file transfer. This makes the computer close connection when there is no file to be sent, and of course the app reconnect. Becomes a loop, and eats battery like crazy. Anyone know of an app that would spoof a handsfree or speaker profile on the PC or iMac to connect to the phone? This will maintain connection, and not kill batterylife.
I have tried everything I could. Even turned off my firewall and accepted all incoming connections but nothing. The app refuses to acknowledge that it is on the same wifi and it always defaults to remote connection mode.
I have:
- An LG nexus 4, android 5.1
- Asus U576E running ubuntu. I'm using web.airdoid.com to connect
Please help!
Same here, just installed this app and am trying it out. I can't transfer files locally, if I have to upload and then download files I may as well use any cloud based service. I read that some are saying a new update broke the local connections.
Bug reborn !
My work network went down earlier so i thought i would just tether the laptop to my S8 over wifi and use my 4g connection instead. But the laptop constantly connects then disconnects about 2 seconds later, over and over again (I can see it in the hotspot settings on the phone thta it appears as a connected device then vanishes immediately after). Tried turning hotspot on and off again on the phone, made no difference. Normal wifi use on my phone seems ok, its just this wifi hotspot that doesnt seem to work properly. Using exynos version on AQDD.
I'm having the same problem tethering my s8 to my android head unit. I connected to my tv box just fine, but I see the same cycle as you when I try to connect to my HU. I previously connected my S6 to the HU with no issues. The only thing I can think of is I used Smart Switch to copy everything from my S6 to S8 and it copied tethering settings as well and maybe that messed something up. I've changed the network name and password but that didn't help.
I finally got mine to work. I changed the security setting to open, and it connected. I then turned on only allowed devices and added the mac address of the head unit.
