Mobile hot spot not working for windows 7 - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

My mother in law just purchased this phone mainly to use as a mobile hot spot but windows keeps saying it is unable to connect. We have tried it with other devices(worked fine) and with the firewall off but still will not connect with the computer. Any suggestions.

Check your security settings

well the security settings on the computer should be the same as the phone or vice verse, wpa on phone should be wpa on computer, etc. and password or security code should match
also, did you run diagnostics, to test connections or repair

The diagnostic said unable to determine or fix error. It only won't connect for that phone, all others we have tried work fine. Already replaced it once due to this issue.

It's your security settings and not phone. Set it to Wep 128 and should work for you.

If your computer connects to other phones' hotspots with the same security settings, then there might be a problem with this phone. You can try clearing the hotspot app's data to reset any settings you may have changed, but if that still doesn't work, I suggest getting a replacement phone. Sounds like a hardware problem to me.

Fixed the problem by getting rid of HTC phone!

Data Problems

My 3vo will seem to randomly not want to work on the data network, yet shows I still have 3G connection. Some pages will load and some background apps will work still...Anyone else have this issue? Maybe I have a defective phone? Just a strange issue I've never had before...

Are you using a temp root? I've found that every 2days or so i have to redo the temp method because I can't connect to data services.....reboot and It's fixed.

I'm having the same problem and I haven't used temp root 4g is fine. While I'm on 3g is when I have problems
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I have theses problems to but my wife evo 4g is fine smh
Had the problems prior to using temp root...Hoped that temp root would solve it, but no dice.
Not sure if I should exchange it...Might be a hardware issue if not everyone is having the problem.

Call sprint and have them reset your data connection after a profile and prl update.
Locked & Loaded
I had this problem and I did all the tricks listed in these forums... Nothing helped permanently. I ended up returning the 3D.
What browser are yall using? Even without temp root I have issues with FireFox.

This is really annoying because I love the phone, but if I can't access the internet when I want to, I'm going to have to return it

Mobile Data Dropping

Okay I have been rooted for a day now and it seems that I am having some trouble staying connected to my mobile data. I did remove some bloat once I rooted but I don't think it has anything to do with that because when I am connected everything is fine. Is anyone else having this issue?

It's happened to me a few times but I think it's more of an LTE thing then an issue with the phone.

Hasn't happened to me.. but I'm also on another Rom though... Tsm 0.2.1... I recommend it... It takes away the dreaded 3 dot menu screen

I'm on stock and see it happen at home as I get near the edge of Wi-fi range. The phone seems to continuously switch from mobile data to wi-fi, causing a lot of stutters when I'm streaming. I also had to switch to the 2.4 GHz channel from the router. The 5 GHz channel was worse and the phone seemed to be confused when I had it set up to connect to both channels. I'm not seeing LTE at our house, 3G at best.

Have you tried changing Settings->Power->Power Mode to High Performance?
That fixed it for me.
Well I had the issue a few times the night before and a couple times yesterday. Bit I think it might be the WiFi effect or what I'm calling it. The phone seems to want to auto connect to WiFi and it makes the mobile data stutter a bit.

I like having it enabled because it allows me to get on my network at home and work automatically. Which is helpful because I gave up my unlimited data. But if it does it again I may look into it.

Connect Internet From Phone To PC?

My sister asked me a question that I think is best left up to those that know, You all.
Is it possible to connect the phone to a PC to get the Internet on the phone? I guess I'm asking for reverse tethering, using the data connection from the computer, to go on line on the phone.
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Tapatalk 2
I think thats possible on official ota and sense roms...
If u connect the phone with an usb cable u should have Internet Pass through as option
It tells you that you have to check if you configured your network in the right way
Not quite sure what that means, but it worked perfect for me without doing anything at all

Piece of cake using a wireless router. That's how I use my 3devo when I'm home. It connects as soon as I'm close to my house.

Thanks, but I was speaking of a wired option.
I'm not quite sure why. I've learned to not ask that question with her. It only tends to confuse me more.

Should appear in the status bar of the phone ( on sense roms at least )

Entitlement check

Anyone know the process of editing the entitlement check on a rotted DNA to allow free mobile hotspot. I was able to do this on my razr maxx. I am on an unlimited plan not share everything

Just use an app like Wifi Tether. Or will this do something different?
I just prefer the native tethering app but may have to

Yeap play store, search wifi tether by Muller Lemons and Buxton https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether&hl=en
If you tried this and didn't work, it's because of the settings. Also, make sure with titanium backup you delete TetheringGuard.apk and mobile hotspot, they're both system apps. If you're not using titanium backup the system file for mobile hotspot is wifirouter.apk or something like that.
Download the app and before you ever even try it, get your settings configured. You press the menu button when you're at the apps home screen to get to settings. Set device profile to HTC Rezound CDMA/LTE
Change setup method to Netd NDC Master
Check to Enable Routing fix
Be sure to grant root access. Don't enable wifi encryption until after you've set it up and run some tests without encryption. That way you'll know where the problem lies if you have one, but it should be just fine. I may post another link to something I'm testing now.
Thanks. I will try when I get home and post results

The native app is broken on all pre-ota based roms anyhow (including stock).
So, wifi tether it shall be.

What do you mean broken. I used it a decent amount before the it's even existed(and before I was rooted too) and had no issues besides a couple times when it dropped out.

I mean it will just start dropping 4g signal every ~15 seconds for no reason. Some users have the issue, some don't. But once it starts, it never stops.

If you dont pay for tethering I think verizon will catch you because according to a few sources there are safeguards they have like packet sniffing and id checks. Correct me if im wrong.

I've seen this when using an iffy internet connection. The screen shot shows you on the EDGE network, so I'd imagine that's the issue. Connect to a solid wifi network and see if that fixes the problem.

Ah! So you are... so you are. Then you, like me, may be looking for a new internet provider soon. Or perhaps the wifi you're on is having issues.
During my testing so far, I have only seen this on my (somewhat shoddy) wifi connection, and not on the much better LTE connection. That said, it also could be the HTC server is experiencing difficulties.
Assuming the issue is intermittent, it is almost certainly a problem with the network or the service, not your phone, and there's nothing much you can do about it on the phone itself.
