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 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.

AT&T S4 portable hotspot is not working.

I tried deletine tehtering provision and tethering automation and installed hotspot toggle widget as a famous thread said but i manage to start the hotspot but the devices that connect to it are not able to use internet. So i need help. Have a rooted s4
I'm not aware of what AT&T proposed, but I suggest you to look at your current APN. Maybe you're not on the correct one.

Did you set the hotspot widget correctly in its settings? Do you have it set to transmit your SSID correctly?

Hotspot now visible but not working after flashing deodexed stock rom PK1

From the original stock rom, i flashed the PK1 stock rom(deodexed) solely to have hotspot up and running.
Now hotspot is visible on the notification panel, i now have an app named Hotspot and another named Tethering.
Here are the problems :
1. Hotspot doesnt turn on from the notification panel, 2. Tethering app doesn't display anything on lauch, just the title "Tethering"
3. Hotspot app lauches hotspot successfully, creates connection with max connection = 1. other android devices can't connect, my pc connects but with the "limited access" notification, can't browse.
I am using this device in Nigeria, i read somewhere that the hotspot works only with U.S carriers. I dont believe this.
Any information to help will be gladly appreciated.
Thanks

Bandwidth Control on Hotspot/USB tethering

I am using Netflix on PS4, which is connected to mobile Hotspot of OnePlus 6. As my data allowance is limited, I want to force the Hotspot to use maximum 1 mbps speed. My mobile data speed is around 10mbps.
I have found one app "Bandwidth Ruler", but it requires root to function properly. So Is there any way to limit the bandwidth of mobile Hotspot/USB tethering on OnePlus without root? Thanks for your help.
Sadly it impossible to do it without root.. If you have any extra router at home... You can set bandwidth limiting on your router

Motorola E4 Nougat 7.1.1 Hotspot limit data rate option is missing

I am attempting to create a portable hotspot and limit the WIFI data rate to all connected devices to 1 Mbps. I can create the hotspot and connect devices to it. Their is only an option to limit the number of connected devices. How can I set a speed limit of 1 Mbps? Is this not available in the older versions of Android? Is there any other usable software I can download to do this? I see some references to BW Ruler software but would like to use built in software if it exists.
Thanks
I installed BW Ruler and the rate settings do not work and report an error. So it seems like Motorola has this special build for the MVNO that allows a hotspot but does not have the adjustable rate setting built into the OS build. It seems there is no way to set the hotspot data rate max limit. It seems Apple IOS doesn't have this option in any builds either.
