Wireless tethering quick settings tile:
Primary: on/off
Secondary: WiFi/Bluetooth
Secondary long press: Tethering & portable hotspot settings
We already have WiFi tethering available on a tile.

I know, but I tether to my N7 WiFi via Bluetooth. It's less power hungry and a WiFi hotspot is easier to discover and a lot of people tried to hack it. (I used wpa2 but the continuous connection request slowed my connection)

For some reason, every time I click on
Wireless & Networks / More / Portable hotspot & tethering, I get a force close.
Because of that I am not able to set my phone up for 3g tethering. Any suggestions/advice please?
Many thanks
Is Wi-Fi Direct Software or Hardware feature. Is there any possible way to connect to a Wi-Fi Direct device from a device with only Wi-Fi support without using Superbeam or other apps that use Wifi hotspot feature.
In Wi-Fi Direct specification, it is written that "Only one of the Wi-Fi devices needs to be compliant with Wi-Fi Direct to establish a peer-to-peer connection that transfers data directly between each other with greatly reduced setup."
Thanks.

I'm using Wifi Tether Router to enable tethering on my EVO 4G LTE. Right now I have Tasker set to launch the app when I connect to my car's bluetooth, then I press the "Enable Wifi Router" button to start tethering. What I'd like to do is have tasker start the tethering action, I'm just not sure how I can get it to do this. Wifi Tether Router has a widget too, but I don't know how I could get tasker to press the widget button either. Does anyone know how I can get this working? Thanks!
This may seem like a dumb question but... is there a way or an app to essentially turn on WiFi hotspot feature so that I can make an ad-hoc LAN but NOT let all the devices connected access the internet?
Example: I enable WiFi hotspot on my phone. I still have a cellular data connection so I can browse the web, stream music, etc. but any other device that connect to my phone's hotspot does NOT get my data connection, they are just on the LAN the built in android hotspot creates.
I don't want to let other users "run up" my data usage but I want the other users when they connect to my hotspot to be all on one network.
I have a bootloader unlocked Motorola Moto X (original, 2013) and rooted and I use Tasker. Maybe after I enable the hotspot feature I could modify some IP tables via a Tasker app to "enable/disable" internet blocking.
Or maybe there's an app out there for this? I suppose another alternative would be disable mobile data and then enable hotspot (if that's even allowed) but the pitfall there is then my phone doesn't have internet either.
Thanks,
Mike
Specifically, why is it that some features which only like to work over Wi-Fi, such as screen mirroring from my phone to my PC, will not use the Wi-Fi hotspot connection from the same device? I noticed similar issues trying to set up a Chromecast without a router. I do not have home internet, only my phone. It seems to me that the programming for something like this should be incredibly easy. Have the hotspot treated as a Wi-Fi network with an API, so apps that specifically need to use a Wi-Fi connection can just use that. Why wouldn't this work?
