Is there any way to assign a fixed ip instead of getting it by dhcp? I looked into wireless/advanced like in galaxy s2 but no luck.
Thank you

Yes there is but its almost hidden. You have to touch and hold which ever wifi network you want to access. A menu will popup with the option to Modify network config.
If you tell us the make and model of your router I'm sure someone will walk you through the process. I have my tab on a fixed IP as well.

Thank you, it was holding the wifi network.
I wanted to set it in my tablet, not via router. I already know how to assign it with router. Thank you anyway.

Since i need wifi tethering in my daily life so whenever i flash any rom.the first i try is to make sure wifi tethering especially on CMs
After searching through the web. The only way works for me is to go to apn config and add APN type 'dun' so e.g.
Default,supl,mms,dun
please have a go if needed
hope it's helpful

anyone try tethering after kitkat update with foxfi? they constantly wartn you it can go away
thanks
xsalemx posted in the 4.4.2 update discussion thread (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658480&page=31) that the update broke FoxFi.
I am on stock, unrooted MK2, and I have Unlimited Data. I am holding off on taking the OTA until there is a working tethering app for it.

Haven't heard anything concrete yet. I went ahead and rooted, and froze an SDM app. I cant afford to lose FoxFi. Hopefully this works.
Edit: Just saw on another Forum that the KitKat update will indeed negate FoxFi from working.
The release of FoxFi today now supports WiFi under KitKat on the Verzion Galaxy S4, if that's any help.

I can confirm that. Tested and working. Only thing is, you have to set up a pin/password lockscreen

I have found that if you have a backup way of getting in to your phone past the PIN, you can make the "mistake" of messing up your pin too many times, and use the backup method to remove it so you can "set it again". Do not set it, and you can keep the certificate with no PIN. Not sure if this works on KitKat, but it did on 4.3 Jelly Bean Build MK2.
As long as you don't have the option to wipe your phone if you try the PIN too many times, anyway. Hah common sense, but disclaimer none the less.
foxfi works!
Went all weekend with out wifi tethering....today there is a foxfi update, that makes it work. :laugh:
Edit:....I did not have to set a pin. It said to 'go to settings and manually turn on mobile hotspot with in 30 seconds'.
I didnt do it in time the 1st time and it didnt work. 2nd time it worked when I did it quickly....
Whenever I turn tethering on via Bluetooth (only working method atm) it switches my APN to EHRPD - Verizon Internet from LTE - Verizon Internet. Even if I manually switch it back to LTE it'll auto switch back to EHRPD. The problem is EHRPD is only connecting me to 3G and I really don't want to browse the internet with speeds of 0.50 MB/s.
Would it be safe to delete the EHRPD APN? or is there any other way of stopping it from switching?
No idea here. I have never looked at APN settings. Tethering via WiFi works fine for me.
FoxFi Lockscreen Fix!
I may have a solution to all this FoxFi Lockscreen issue...See my thread at:

Hope this helps!
I uninstalled foxfi and removed the certificate. I can't change back to a pattern or swipe lockscreen. Here's what my choices are:

I am looking for the terminal command to toggle the wifi hotspot.
Have gotten wifi and mobile data toggle working fine but no go on wifi hotspot.
Any assistance is much appreciated.
I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking.
Thanks.

What baseband are you on? Are you talking about a quick toggle?

No I'm looking to accomplish wifi tethering via terminal command.
Baseband has no bearing on this.
in order to turn off wifi in terminal by
Code:
svc wifi disable
I'm looking to do the same thing but with wifi tethering.

I know lol
I was using that as an example.
But I've found a workaround for what I was trying to accomplish.
Just would still like to find a method that could be done completely in terminal.
Without third party plugins

You can use "service call connectivity 24 i32 0" command.
This works on my device with android version 8.0.0
If that doesn't work replace 24 with near numbers like 23, 25 ,22 and try.
