I have D2302. I wanted to tether internet to my laptop. But when I start mobile data Wifi and USB tether icons from status bar disappear. And after turning data off, they reappear.
Could anyone please tell what might be the problem? Wifi Tethering used to work before. Never tried USB Tethering though.
I unlocked my bootloader today, if that is related.
Nevermind, I think it was due to UBL. Cuz it worked after I restored my TA.
Thanks to linuxct's recoveries.
Solved.

what i want to do is to use an external wifi connection that my android phone is receiving, on my pc. in other words, the phone would work as a wifi adapter for the pc (because i dont have one in my pc). i tried usb tethering, but it lets u use only 2g/3g connection, not wifi.
any app which can do this?
Hmm normally it should work with wifi too.
Try to deactivate 3g while you're tethering.
Otherwise try apps like pdanet or another one but I forgot the name.

your talking about reverse tethering and yes flussen is right just turn of mobile networks and it should work and ive seen this done using wired tether 1.4 from google.
ok, it works with data connection turned off.

If your phone is on Lollipop, i read that OSP works witht he Dalvick Runtime and as such, was removed cos of incompatibility with the new ART Runtime. I was bewildered also after my Lollipop update that i lost that feature. If u are on KitKat, make sure OSP is ticked and i advice u troubleshoot with a cable connection initially then subsequently move to Wi-Fi.
I understand the wifi hotspot won't work without rooting or paying for the wifi hotspot service. The usb tethering I thought was supposed to work though? I am able to get an ip address from the phone when usb tethering is turned on but can't even ping google.com. I am assuming that this isn't supposed to work but here's hoping that someone else figured out a way

I found a few posts on sprint's community site where sprint reps stated they disabled the use of usb and bluetooth tethering. The phone is still capable of turning those features on but sprint doesn't allow it. They then state pay for the hotspot costs and it will work though. So my guess is that the sales_code setting not only gets the wifi hotspot working but the usb tethering as well.

Does it have to be a usb connection? If you have your MSL you can just do a couple of EPST edits and enable the native hot spot without root!
I'm having trouble getting my S6 to tether with my ASUS RT-AC68U router. I got my MSL number and changed the APN settings, and they work (I can use the wifi hotspot and USB tether with my laptop). However, when I plug in the USB to the router and have the router attempt to connect, it turns automatically off the USB tether on the S6! This doesn't happen with my Verizon HTC M8, with the same router. With the M8 I put it into tether mode and connect the router and away it goes! Any thoughts or ideas why?
Hello,
When trying to use my phone with USB tethering or as Wifi hotspot, my computer connects well to the phone, but I have no internet connection on the PC.
- The sim card I use already worked on several other devices without problem for tethering.
- The phone is 100% stock (last CM update)
- Data connection on my phone is enabled and OK
- I tried on two PC (W7 64bits) that used to receive internet with USB tethering. So they should be OK.
Except from the ADB interface, all drivers installed successfully.
Any idea why it fails? I found no proper solution on the web.
Thanks;
OK... I flashed Blisspop 4.0.3 yesterday night and tried again USB tethering today.
It works well.
I guess there is something wrong with the last stock version, no internet connectivity in tethering + no adb...

Hi,
I suggest that before the update worked perfectly.
After updating the wifi tethering does not work anymore.
In practice, the other device connects but does not navigate.
I noticed that with tethering connected and connected device if I disconnect the data and reconnect them, the connected device navigates but no longer surf the phone.
To be able to surf the phone I have to disable the router and disconnect and reconnect the data.
It's as if either surfing one or the other.
I have already reset my factory data.
My sim has no tethering block.
I've already tried to change APN (default - default,dun - default,supl,dun).
The same problem also in safe mode.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Nobody? :crying:
