I am running a stock rooted NS4G and I am not able to get wireless tether to work on my phone. I have tried Wireless Tether and I can see the network on my computer but when I try to connect its a no go (my computer just keeps connecting but never connects). I also tried Barnacle Tether but I get the same issue. I really don't-won't want to change my kernel to get this feature does any one have any ideas?
Thanks
I had to download the latest wireless tether app.

This is stock gingerbread. The built-in wifi hotspot works out of the box (at least for now).

Lol no it doesn't. Enableing the hotspot disables my data connection so I use wifi tether.

It disables the data on the phone because it ports it straight to the wifi connection. Personally, I find this provides a more reliable connection (though it is annoying that updates are suspended while you're using it).
Edit: It is not 100% pass through. Data still works on the phone, but sync is suspended.

Is there any way to get 4G tethering and infrastructure rather than ad-hoc?
If via wireless or wifi-tether app what version are you using? 2.0.8 pre-1 or 3.0 pre-14? Or something else? The built-in tethering turns 4G off, so alternatively to wireless tether is there a way around this?

But if you use the built in wifi tether...don't you need a tethering plan to use that?

Officially, yes (or, "It's a bug we're working on").
What I know:
On the Evo, the Sprint wifi app would authenticate to check if you subscribed to a tethering plan. If not, it gave an error and would not work. The Nexus uses the stock Android tethering app, which does no such thing. It just works.
What I don't know:
- If Sprint will work with Google to make the stock tethering app subscription-dependant.
- If Sprint will leave it alone, as a Pure Google feature they'd rather keep on the down low. After all, people are switching to Sprint just to get stock Android, and there are reports that T-Mobile still isn't charging for tethering on the Nexus 6 months later.
- If Sprint will detect usage and charge for tethering after the fact.

+1 on this! The built in hotspot only works for 3g. Of course we 4g owners want full speed so that just isn't good enough. I have gotten android wifi tether running on ad hoc and it works BUT I really want the added protection of WPA and the ability to connect other devices besides a computer. I've been searching for a way to run it as a wireless access point but haven't found anything. I'm guessing by the lack of response to the above post there aren't any solutions yet???

I know I'm dredging up an old thread here, but when I Google'd this issue this was the thread I found and I wanted to add the solution for others running into this.
I ended up finding a way to make this work! I'm using the latest version of android-wifi-tether (3.1-beta7). If you set the "Device-Profile" to "Samsung Galaxy S" and the "Setup-Method" to "Netd", it will support tethering to 3G or 4G (4G takes a little while to reconnect after enabling tethering) via WPA/WPA2. My tethered laptop checks in at 9.96/1.41Mbps down/up with this method.
I want to preface this with that I am on Verizon so this is using the Verizon hotspot app and I have rooted my phone but I expecet this to do the same on a non-rooted phone.
I have noticed that if I go directly into the app, the service will not work because it does a check to see if I pay for the tethering option. When it checks, it fails and tells me that if I want it that I need to call a number and add it to my plan. However I have found out that if you have a 3rd party app/widget, it will activate the tethering without the check. I have done this both through "Locale Wifi Hotspot Plugin" and "Tethering Widget". Other tethering apps seem to be flaky and either not work at all or timeout.
I have not had any issues with this; I watched an hour long show on Netflix on my tablet yesterday and used my old DInc(now deactivated), which I have the video out wired into my car, to play a few kids shows this morning on the way into work. I hope Verizon doesn't catch onto this workaround.
I too have found this to work! I downloaded switchpro widgets and it allows you to turn it on through the stock app and configure at will. More reliable than foxfi for me! Give it a try if you want wifi tether without root
haha nice. I wonder if it VZW can detect this and bill you?
Failed on my sprint version, cool that it works on vzw
I bypass all that and just use FoxFi.

Thanks this worked for me on my unrooted verizon. Does anyone know any other teathering widgets that work? Im not a fan of the icon.
I would just hope this doesnt come back and get billed for it.
I just installed FoxFi and it works good.
Also if you are on the new shared plans, tethering should be "free" now.
i can't believe FoxFi hasn't gotten yanked for VZW customers yet like they did with PDANet
Ok I need help. I have foxfi and the wifi plugin both working. What do you guys suggest I stick with? Am I better off sticking with foxfi, since the other way uses verizon's hot spot?
foxfi works for me, unrooted at&t s3
Does ICS have tracking files like GB that notify vzw about tethering? I remember having to flash a file to remove them.
Also on that note, apparently toggling on the built in hotspot is much easier to track, according to lifehacker... Not exactly sure how FoxFi works but sounds like that might be the "safer" option, despite the cleanliness of just toggling on the built in. Also, I can confirm that using the toggle method works on AT&T as well.
I installed it on my non rooted TMo, and it turns wireless tethering on, what ever that connects to the tether gets directed to TMo to add wireless tethering to my account.
set it up on 2 sgs iii last night, both took a little while to connect my win 7 laptop the first time, but all is good.

They would have a hard time collecting on something you didn't agree to pay for, and you aren't doing anything wrong if it "just works" using a 3rd party app.
Still I just use Wireless Tether.
Tethering sounds great on a "shared plan", but what the heck are you going to do with a gig or two of data?
Wow totally works! Stock Verizon...

Use the Galaxy Nexus profile. Mine works like that without any problems.
Quick question-
I recently went back to stock rooted rom from Alliance because my WiFi went out and I was not able to get it back on anything other then stock.
Unfortunately that means I lost my WiFi tethering. I found FoxFi to work, I just wanted to make sure this didn't incur any extra charges and worked like the in app did for alliance.
I have unlimited data.
Thank you,

I'm in the same boat as you with unlimited. Been using FoxFi without any issues for years now. No extra charges.
Just don't torr 500GB of movies and get red flagged. Any illegal down loading will void the TOS agreement. They will send u a letter.
On a side note, I did ask a friend who knows a guy that works for big red. He said they can see and detect FoxFi traffic in the data packets. Meaning, ya they have programs in place that detect tethering with excessive data usage. So some peps do heavy tethering and nothing happens and verizon knows.
The FCC made a ruling against Verizon in 2012 and is worth reading
The Right to Tether: What the Verizon/FCC Settlement Means to You
and Federal Communications Commission
The fine print is...Verizon's stance. Current customers with grandfathered unlimited data plans still have to pay. Unfortunately, if you want to tether with your unlimited plan, you have to either upgrade your plan to one of the new, Share Everything plans (which include tethering), or pony up $20/mo for Verizon's "Mobile Broadband Connect" service. You can still tether off the books and hope you don't get caught, but if they catch you, Verizon will either sign you up for Mobile Broadband Connect, put you on a Share Everything plan, or terminate your contract.
Basically verizon lost the fight and got spanked / hand slapped. They could go after you under the FCC agreement but their are no reports that has happened.
Just keep your tethering under 30gigs and you be fine.
Okay cool. Thanks for the reply. I Dont plan on using 30gigs anyway. Probably only around 10/month for the next 3 months. Need my laptop and hotel internet is slow as hell.

Its all on your end. Foxfi has been working on 4.3 for almost as long as its been out. Are you using a rom with safestrap? If so did you install the kernel modules? Tether apps need WiFi to work and if your on a 4.3 ROM without modules WiFi won't work.

Well you can just install/reinstall it by downloading a busybox installer from the play store. It doesn't matter because I just remembered you don't need root for foxfi anymore. hope you figure it out.
Foxfi is working fine on 4.3 or 4.4kitkat, you need to enable lock screen and using pin code, it will ask you to install a trust cert and that's it. If you have root, just use wifi tether router app (very clean an simple tethering app). I'm using both and they both working fine.

Are you sure you unchecked the option to let apps scan for wifi networks even when wifi is off?
Just did a speedtest on this with the Boost Varient got 1.06 Mb/s download and 0.39 Mb/s upload.
Nothing to scream at, but It lets me tether on boost which is great especially once I have 7GB of data

I've used pdanet for many years which includes usb and wifi tether. I regularly use 500+gb a month without being throttled. The program hides tether usage 100% but doesn't hide overall usage so i recommend the $60 plan. Its available in the playstore or from the developers website @ junefabrics.

check your pms i messaged you.
I went through hours of research, tried to use adb she'll to change tether dun required to 0, changed to ipv4, added dun In apn settings, went through a VPN and NOTHING Works. I'm about to go back to 5.0.1 to get unthrottled Hotspot, after my 5 gb it goes down to 100kb or less I'm sick of it. I don't know how else to get full unthrottled Hotspot. Maybe the custom rom will get me around the Hotspot throttling and I feel as if I'm throttled on data even though I'm on the unlimited plan on metro, maybe the custom rom will get me around that too. Either way any advice? Thanks in advance

Boost is throttling your data from their servers not your phone itself. You hit the 5gigs or whatever you plan is, and you're gonna get throttled

I have tether router, I'm on 5.1 I tried changing provisions, I just tried x tether on xposed which is supposed to auto fix all the checks it still doesn't work. Maybe I need to wait till metro resets my tether after I pay my bill again for it to work unlimited?

Pdanet works perfectly. just create a new access point and make it identical to the metro one expect change the apn protocol to ipv4. Pdanet works with or without root and with custom roms. It hides all tether usage usb and wifi 100% but whatever data is used will count towards your total allotment if not on the $60 unlimited plan. If you use usb tethering select hide tether usage level 1. Dont enable the tether or hotspot options from your phones settings do everything through pdanet.
I regularly use well over 500gb a month between usb and wifi and have never been throttled or warned etc. Ive used pdanet since 2006 through sprint,boost,att and metro using about every phone you could imagine and it always worked flawlessly.
I was using Foxfi to Hotspot my Verizon Grandfathered UDP .... I Just got the Galaxy S8+ and found out the hard way that Google(nougat), Samsung and Verizon teamed up to kill Foxfi's Hotspot hack. Until we have an unlocked boatloader. root or another working exploit, Hotspot isnt going to work on the Galaxy S8..The good news is I was able to find a decent workaround with an app called "Net Share-no-root-tethering" from the play store... It uses Wifi-Direct to share your phones data plan.. It does the trick and I'm able to share my data plan with other wireless devices.. I was literally just about to return my S8+ rather than wait weeks or months for the devs to crack the vault.. Hope this helps ease the tetherless pain while we wait for a new exploit ..
Edit: Please note this is not an equal substitute for native Hotspot.. I found the speeds to be much slower, but for basic internet use like checking email, and web surfing the connection was adequate.

Yeah my Galaxy s8 plus also lets me toggle hotspot without telling my that I need to be subscribe. I have unlimited but I never bought the hotspot plan. Would using the hotspot show on my bill?
Weird since I have Verizon with the Unlimited plan and hotspot does not work, even though it IS included with the plan. OP's app is garbage tbh, I get 50+mbps on speed test on the phone but on my computer I can hardly get above 10. Something is being lost in transmission and it isn't the fault of my PC. Is Wifi direct trash or something?
My phone also tells me that I need to "Subscribe" to the Hotspot feature at Verizon but it is already included in my plan, what gives?
Haven't tried this yet but hope it works on my at& t.
It got my tether on but I can't get it to share my data… it shows up on my pc but it says can't access.

Hey guys, just got an s8+ today and found out that the native hotspot will work if you pop sim tray out, it will then take you to lock screen, pull down tray and turn on hotspot. You may get an error saying no sim installed but just keep pushing hotspot button until it turns on. It is working on mine now but now I am trying to figure out how I can disable ota updates. Anyone have any help for me? Thanks
