The dilemma:
Just moved into a new home and I don't have internet or cable for a week. So, with my Rezound I thought I would just tether to my computer and hook my computer to my tv.
I downloaded PdaNet and got a USB error. I have 3 USB ports and 3 USB cords including the one that came with the phone and none worked. Error code=1. I then tried easytether and same problem.
So, just for ****s and giggles I plug my wife's Droid 3 and it works no problem. Watching Hulu with buffering issues and all. WTH man?
I'll take any suggestions. Is there a Tether program that works or settings to try?

I had problems with this also.
When I was running CleanROM, my iPad 2 would never connect. It would see the hotspot just fine and seemed to connect, but I could never getan active Internet connection.
Then I flashed the ineffabilis ROM and whatever version that ROM is running works perfectly for me.
For the record: I haven't had any problems with pdanet on my stock Rezound.
Do you have USB Debugging enabled and the phone in "charge only"?

Yes on both counts. I have a 2nd laptop and it takes a couple reboots to get it working.
On the working laptop I'm running Windows 7 (but no HDMI). On the non-working I'm running Vista (but my wife's D3 works).
I use Easy Tether with no problems on my stock Rezound.

I have this problem too and it all boils down to how the signal is being broadcast and weather or not the receiving device can accept it. Seems that my tablets (xoom and flyer) as well as my ps3 need a softap connection while the only thing I can make broadcast is adhoc. Sucks! I'm sick of switching Sims back to my Tbolt just to get some wifi!
Listen to me. *****ing about something like multiple tabs and phones to obtain free wifi. Talk about "1st world problem's" what's next? Gotta take my 24's off my car and go back to BS 20's!? Lol. Jk. I don't have rims

Tethering OK except with encryton
I have run Ineffabilis and Nils and am able to connect unencrypted wireless tether on both. Whenever I enable encryton, the wireless tethered network is seen but I never get a request for a password when attempting to connect and then get an internet connection error message on the guest ipad or laptop.

This is kinda what I'm talking about. Hit show details when the broadcast starts and fails. You'll see that it fails when configuring softtap. Adhoc works, but a lot of devices don't see it and can't encrypt. Kinda blows.... I hate switching Sims back to my Tbolt just to get wifi on my devices.

I am using "Wifi Tether for Root Users" 3.1 beta 10 and it works perfectly fine for tethering in most cases, as long as your other device can connect to ad-hoc networks. I did have to use the "generic" device profile and enable the "Routing Fix" option in settings to get the devices to connect properly though.

Actually, I can consistently connect with encryton off. If I enable access control, I can usually connect. If I enable encrypton, forget it.

Fantastic. I guess I should be more specific. *MY* devices don't see the broadcast. Rooted flyer on GB, roooted xoom on ICS and a ps3. My xoom DID see a broadcast when I was on a HC rom, but factory xooms on HC. Ever saw it...
Just wish it worked flawlessly like Tbolt. I've tried mss clamping, router fix etc... Maybe I'm wrong, but it Right be related to something pertaining to not having full S OFF. Idk...

Most android devices can't connect to ad-hoc by default. For the Xoom, you need to look for a wpa_supplicant file that is modified for ad-hoc devices. The same most likely applies to your Flyer. I have no idea about the PS3 though... but I would also doubt it has any default support for ad-hoc networks.
I am using the modified wpa_supplicant file from the Xoom forums on my Asus Transformer to get ad-hoc compatibility for tethering, and it works absolutely perfectly.

You can use a modified wpa _supplicant file on the Zoom to connect to ad hoc connections. I can probably track down the thread if youneed it.

And read several threads. Just mind you find a modified file ina zip format you can use, and make a backup of yours before replacing.

Any one having any luck tethering to a ps3? Anyone find a way to broadcast not in ad_hoc mode?
Im stuck out of town and have been trying various versions of wifi thether... all with no luck.
Im about ready to go to walmart and tether to laptop and had connect (internet share) to the ps3. But I would rather tether if possible.
Is there one that works for the Rezound? This was last updated in 2010...

how would you do wired tethering to a tablet? foxfi is only needed for wireless i belive. if you want to do wireless tethering just get wifi tether. works great
I am trying easy tether lite.
Basically its connected to PC and app is working, it works on websites. However things like ssh connections dont appear to even try to use the connection they still go over my wired broadband connection. According to the FAQ only UDP is blocked, so I have emailed the author to see if its a true internet sharing app or just for web.
After a bit of research, I have found the following methods for full, free USB tethering with no limitations and for free USB reverse tethering:
I found this app for USB tether. It is entirely free and allows https and all. It took me a bit of time to figure out how to make it work: I did it by going to Chrome Settings > Advanced settings > Proxy settings > LAN settings > Use proxy server for LAN; Adress: localhost; Port: 8080.
Then I started the connection from the app, also set to port 8080. Although Windows never recognized any internet connection, it worked in Chrome.
To switch back to my DSL internet or Wi-Fi, I had to disable the proxy again.
For the reverse tether, I found this Windows tool. It allows reverse tethering with nothing installed on the phone (although root is needed). The only problem with it is that the Play Store is unable to download over its connection, but one can always go to play.google.com in the phone's browser and download things from there.
easy tether does actually work on everything, I paid for it now.
I got no idea if any free apps that have full tethering. CM7 rom supposedbly has it but for some reason the option isnt on my phone's version of CM7.
First off, my rezound is NOT rooted. I use Foxfi on it and can tether using the bluetooth option to my nexus 7, but a lot of the applications don't recognize it as an actual internet connection (example: i can browse around the play store but when i try to download an app it just gets stuck at waiting for network.) Before the ICS update Foxfi wouldn't even let me turn on the WiFi hotspot function. After the ICS update it will now turn on the WiFi hotspot but my nexus 7 will not connect to it. It just gets stuck at "acquiring IP address" and will not go passed that.
tl;dr if someone can help me use my rezounds wifi hotspot to tether to my N7 without having to root i would greatly appreciate it.
What is stopping you from root? I wouldn't even have a smartphone if I couldn't root it. That said, I believe there are decent rootless tether apps.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
For one, I don't have a computer to root with and I really just don't want to go through the hassle or void my warranty. I've tried a lot of apps but none of them seem to let anything connect to the hotspot. Seems like it's something internal blocking it. I should probably have mentioned that I am on a grandfathered unlimited plan. Do you know of any hotspot tether apps I could try that might work?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Maybe try clock work mod. I don't know though because I have root.
Edit
I don't actually have a clue, it is possible there isn't a good rootless tether app that doesn't require usb

Edit the title of this thread to Tethering UNROOTED Rezound with Nexus 7. I bet you'll get more relevant people clicking in here.
Don't want to root your phone? You'll have to pay to activate Verizon's built in wifi tether most likely.
Is anyone having an issue with their data keep droping out while tethering. I am rooted on jelly beans build 1 - beanstown 106 rom. I wanna say that this happened once I rooted. Before installing a rom I tried foxfi and it conected for awhile then the 4g and data would drop out causing me to reset. Once I turn tethering off then on it works again for awhile. I thought it might have been foxfi so I installed the custom rom beans and am currently able to use the phones wifi tethering app but the same thing happens. Any suggestions?

Unroot and b return to Vzw. You got a bad phone. My Galaxy nexi(had 5 of them or so) did this until I got a good phone.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
So urs would actually tether for a bit then just drop out?
Theres got to be more to it then just bad hardware cause the 4g and wifi never drops untill I tether for awhile. Then sometimes it wont do it for hours...
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I think it is the stock app. Mine does this sometimes, and so did my Stock Galaxy Nexus, but the Galaxy Nexus never did it when I was using ROMs... I haven't tried any ROMs other than stock or any non stock tethering apps on the Note II yet, but I don't think it is the phone.
Well thats a relief. Thanks. So should I flash another custom rom?

Sure enough the native hotspot app is a POS and causes LTE to intermittently drop. Now have to resort to rooting and installing wireless tether.

You don't need to root to solve this. You can download Portable wifi Hotspot from the Market for free. It works great.
Root was a piece of cake with Chainfire's Exynos root exploit apk. And, as others have mentioned TrevE wireless tether is working much better than the native Verizon hotspot which was experiencing intermittent LTE disconnects, slow data throughput and connectivity issues with one of my older devices. Ran overnight without any LTE disconnects so far.

I've tried barnacle and wifi tether both do the same...will try some others. Went to beans' build 3 not doing it so far. Maybe something got fixed in the update. Am using phones native tether setting/app fyi.
Thinking of going to the clean rom 4.1.2.
Has anyone had tether problems with this rom? Specifically with 4g dropping out?
I didn't read this whole thread but if your 4g is dropping out its because your using the stock tethering and its not been hacked this is normal for it to drop out constantly and very annoying like. My s3 does it to. Use WiFi tether treve mod and again I didn't read this whole thread so if it has already been said just ignore my comment. Good luck. If you don't know what treve mod is I can't remember if its built into aroma with duild 3 or not but if its not and can't figure it out. Step over to the Verizon s3 section find treve mod and set up your note 2 the same way they say to set up the s3 and you'll be good to go. Again if this had been said ignore me. I'm bored. Hope it helps someone.
I pay for the unlimited hotspot feature from Verizon, and I often have the same issue on my stock, unrooted Note 2. It doesn't happen all of the time, but there periods where it constantly cuts in and out, especially when connected to a PC. It was also a problem on my Galaxy S3, RAZR MAXX, and Galaxy Nexus.
If you search around online, you'll see that people using the stock mobile hotspot app have been having the same issue for years.
Stock hotspot app AND Trev-E wireless tether does this to me constantly so it's got to be something else.... Its strange because some times it won't do it and then there's times where i'm dead in the water without the ability to tether. Yes I pay for tethering (plan).
My previous Galaxy S3 did the same crap to me as well... Thinking its a Samsung thing.. modem bug/kernel bug probably.
Anybody find any fixes/solutions?
Mine has done it periodically since I got the phone. Both stock and various versions of beans and clean rom. I just restart the phone and device connecting and it takes care of it. Happens maybe 1 out of 100 times.
A contact at Verizon says he sees people complaining about it sometimes and another one at sprint says the same thing.

Wifi Tether works great for me and lets me see how much data I'm actually burning through. I'm using the one w/ the Synergy ROM, TrevE Mod.
The built in tethering only works if you are on a share data plan. If you are on an unlimited, you can't use it without paying extra. However FoxFi works WITHOUT root on the S4. I have yet to root because my wifi passwords all back up to google now, and I could care less about my angry birds data as I don't play it anymore. Tethering was really my only reason for rooting this and since foxfi works with no charge and no root, I haven't rooted. I don't use windows so until I NEED to root, I'm not going to try to get one.
Anyone know of any hotspot apps? I got pda and it doesn't work it keeps saying I am not subscribed to a hotspot service through sprint....I used to use easy tether and that worked great (had a custom prl) but it doesn't seem to be working on my s4

either "one click tether" or "power toggles" or just any wireless tether widget works.
I am still on unlimited so the FCC ruled free tether does not apply, so when it prompts to go to Verizon or cancel just hit the home button and wireless tether stays on. :good: While its on you can still go into the settings and set up WEP security passwords.
Works like a charm.
