I use CWM Tether for usb and Secure Tether for wireless. Both have worked well for me. I have an XA2 bootloader unlocked running Oreo and apps work as they should. I have an XZ2 compact running Pie, bootloader still locked, apps running fine. I have an XZ Premium, bootloader unlocked running Pie and both apps will run but the CWM app will not download ANY data but shows outgoing data. Secure Tether will run but will not pass through data to connected devices, and windows 10 will not see the wifi signal at all, but other phones do. I have tried other firmware from different regions but unless I revert to Oreo and want to deal green pics, nothing seems to help. Even tried the tethering enable module for Magisk....no help. Now, if I want to use the native tether and hotspot apps THEY WORK, but, I'm capped on high speed tether/hotspot data. The two mentioned apps I use don't show up as such. So...any ideas?

Hey.
I've tried so hard but i cant get WiFi tether to work.
I've flashed some custom kernels which claims to have WiFi tethering working, but still!
can someone please tell me how to?
set your static ip on the computer to 192.168.2.100
set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.255
set the default gateway to 192.168.2.254
set the dns to 192.168.2.254
then install a terminal emulator on your phone and enter;
ping 192.168.2.100
now you should have connection, its scetchy so just wait if its not instantanious

Used my tether (WI-FI spot) last night at a music store to download some drivers for a midi controler for my DJ software. just turned on the sprint app, and my laptop found it really quick downloaded the drivers for the program i was gonna test and i was done, just like that.
yey EVO!!!
wifi troubles
had the same trouble after the nand unlock wouldn't connect, i replaced the 2_0_5 pre with the 2_0_2-pre14 and it worked
good luck hope this helps
After the first stage root, I installed DamageControl 3.0 and both 4G and wifi tether wouldn't work for me. Installing Fresh fixed my issue.
Although I only saw people fixated on the 4G issue and nobody mentioning tether, it seems to me the two were related in some way.
I have not unlocked NAND yet. What was your process; where are you with your device?
2_0_5 works fine on my evo, its nand rooted. I just trun it on, no need to set anything. Then I fire up the laptop and just click connect to my androidtether. Transferred over 500MB this morning on it no troubles.
i have a question.. wireless tethering has been working for me very well, on wednesday i even had it connected for like 3 consecutive hours.. researching some homework for my humanities class.. but now it disconnects randomly.. with no warning or notification anyone know what can be the cause of this? its very annoying..
just download the one from the market. the one included in most roms doesn't appear to work for anyone either.
I have ran Fresh v0.2 and currently v0.3. I've never had any issues using Wireless Tether included with this ROM.
Those having issues: You are rooted corrected? If you are try the typical uninstalling/reinstalling. Titanium backup would allow you to backup the App and reinstall it. If that doesn't work try a different Rom.
Process of elimination.
2.0.2 works well on my ipad.
I am rooted with SimpleRoot, but that alone did not work with Wifi Tether. So i went ahead and rooted with Unrevoked...WifiTether works well after that. Good Luck.
Good day everyone,
I looked through the internet and couldn't find any relevant post that would be remotely close to my issue, hence creating this thread now. I do apologize if I missed something.
Per section, I have Nexus 5 16GB White model. I recently used google factory images to completely wipe my device and upgrade to the new Android 5.1. I had no errors and everything went smoothly and my Nexus 5 now runs stock Android 5.1 with Franco Kernel. Yesterday I was able to use my phone as Wifi Hotspot but as of today it suddenly stopped working. When I press a quick toggle for Hotspot, I can see the icon activated and the icon in the status bar but there is no Notification saying that the Hotspot is activated, and none of my devices (Laptop and Nexus 9) can see the hotspot.
What I tried:
Obvious, rebooting the device
Removing and putting back in Sim Card
Flashing stock kernel
I do not use any mods whatsoever except the aforementioned kernel which prior to Android 5.1 clean flash has never affected wifi Tethering.
I live in Finland currently and there is no carrier restrictions on tethering.
I would try flashing stock image once again but would like to avoid unless it's a last resort.
Thank you for your time.
Mine works OK. Use it instead of wifi as I've unlimited 4g data and single. I depend on the hotspot working.
I recently had my Sprint Note 5 Unlocked. Now I am looking for my hotspot button and its not here. I can manually search for the hotspot and find it in settings. When I turn it on it says its on. But I get no icon on my status bar. I see it in other devices but it will not connect.
Anyone else have this problem or any solutions?

Know what you might need to do? Install foxfi, the free version- and then run the hotspot from that app. After that, the config that app sets up might fix your issue.
If that does not work, try to sideload the foxfi key app. Now that is a paid app, so if you want to go through other means to get it that is up to you. Then, use the main foxfi app again. It should work.
I noticed that foxfi has some type of certificate a few years ago, that fixes issues that can come from using root to enable native tethering. It worked then, and it worked for me now on an SM-N920P.
Let me know if it works.
I researched and tried everything I could but running GSM on our CDMA phone simply would never let me increase number of connections above 1. You can change it up to 10 IF you don't care about GSM phone calls and switch the radio to the regular Cdma/lte/auto. I just did that since I did not want or need calls while I was using it as my homes wifi source.
Just a heads up to anyone who still has the original UDP and wants to keep wifi tethering with FoxFi. YOU CANT.
The 7.0 update blocks wifi tether by foxfi and bluetooth tether. I was able to get USB tether to work using PDAnet but your pretty much stuck to using a pc or mac.
also... there was something i read about ejecting the sim as you try to enable the stock wifi hotspot, as a trick that worked. unfortunately that seems to have been blocked by verizon - the phone forces you to reboot a before you get any connectivity back after ejecting a sim card.
Marshmallow downgrade is easy and effective. You will have to clear data and freeze the Samsung updater afterwards but oh well.
Sucks that I can't do what I want with MY device.

Silly question - how do you downgrade to Marshmellow? By using Factory Data Reset?
Well this sucks. I guess good I didn't upgrade yet
Foxfi works fine on my Verizon s6 edge... Just go to settings and turn on WiFi Hotspot as if you are paying for it and it starts foxfi

I'd reference this thread on downgrading.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/downgrade-6-0-1-to-5-1-1-t3489816
Factory Data Reset just wipes your apps, media, settings, accounts and etc. It is what you would you use if you were to resell or return your phone for some reason.
It doesn't touch the firmware.
You will use the Factory Data Reset from Maintenance mode in the process of downgrading after you flash the appropriate firmware. But before you go downgrading don't forget to turn off re-activation lock. And all of this is if your phone's firmware is still down-gradable. :silly:

Mmm, it says I need to purchase a subscription.
So many years I've used my phone as a hot spot. I paid for FoxFi, etc. This is really disappointing.
I've tried "Net Share", but it's a pain and limited - had to install software on my laptop, etc.
Do I have any options with this phone? Is there a phone that will work?
Yesterday was like any other day, I took the bus to work and enabled mobile hotspot on my Oneplus 6 so I could do some work. On my way home in the afternoon, I did the same thing. This time however, I had exclemation marks on the mobile network symbol in the statusbar. Tried enabling hotspot anyway but there was network. Rebooted the phone but still the same issue. Oh well, I thought it was just my carrier then. When I came home to my wifi, I checked my carriers status information on their websites and there was no disturbances. Then I restored a backup which failed and I had to reflash the phone entirely with the latest pie zip. Today, I still don't have any network on my sims. I use two sims but they are using the same carrier. I also asked around my friends which has the same carrier and they have network...
I would understand if something might have happened when I reflashed the phone last night but that does not explain the sudden malfunction of the network on my bus ride home, the phone had worked flawlessly for a whole week.
This thread seem to be about the same thing and I tried the solutions regarding clearing caches and settings but it did not work:
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...ot-working-but-network-bars-are-there.844978/
Could it be something with the IMEI number? But it doesn't explain why it stopped working out of the blue. I can see both my IMEI numbers in the settings and I have also tried install Magisk 17.2 beta as suggested by another user. I think I still have a backup of the modem on my pc. However this is from when the network still worked and then suddenly stopped working.
TLDR: I have full reception, Calls and SMS work, there is just no Internet connection.
Just to be sure, datasave is turned off?

Yep, that is off. I have also reset my APN setting and double checked them with my provider, it didn't help.
No hotspot
I'm having a similar issue, I updated to android p stable and since then I can't use hotspot. It turns on fine and says devices connected but internet doesn't work on the connected devices. This seems to be an issue with Android P because my gf also has the op6 and I tried hotspot on hers before updating and it worked fine, then updated and it stopped working for her too. I have also tried clearing cache and manually entering the APN. I need to be able to tether to my laptop and tablet for work so anyone solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Although the problem I decribed in this thread isn't the hotspot problem, it was caused by my carrier. But I also have issues with hotspot, my laptop has trouble finding the wifi from the phone.
