I recently noticed that my wifi only z4 tab is missing the portable hotspot/tethering menu from the more... menu inside settings (it's completley gone not just disabled). I tried the fxp aosp rom and it has the options for tethering but nfc and screen rotation don't work on that rom + there is no recovery for it that i could find (androplus one wouldn't boot into recovery so i guess its just for the stock rom). Is this something nobody has on the z4 tab or is something wrong with my device (the option still wasn't there after reflashing a factory rom with flashtool)? Does anyone know a way to enable at least the USB tethering as i need that the most or is there a recovery that works with the fxp rom?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is becoming more and more annoying working with the small screen of a phone (i use the usb tethering to make the device act as a display for a Raspberry PI with VNC).
Afaik wireless tethering / portable hotspot is only possible with the LTE version. It's logical too, on your phone you can only wirelessly tether your data connection, not another WiFi network.
I don't know what exactly you want to do with USB tethering. Do note that you might need to use the 'detect USB' function for USB stuff to work. By default the USB port is not checking for attached devices, because of the waterproofness.

Ah okay... That's a shame... but thank you for telling me anyway, its the first device i have that had the option missing (2013 n7 WiFi only has it and its useful to connect the tab to a WiFi and tether with USB to a computer) so i didn't really know what to think of it Maybe any idea on how to get the androplus recovery or any custom recovery working with the fxp aosp rom? If there is a way I could at least flash gapps and supersu.

I can only guess based on what I've read, but I suggest checking the AndroPlus kernel thread or starting a new one with this specific question.

Can I use the USB host adapter to tether to my android phone for internet access?
[edit]
Even connecting to a USB verizon modem would be am option?
Thanks,

You want to use a usb modem stick? Asked that b4. It seems impossible. It would be great though. If someone could dump or cook a rom from the 3g version to detect the USB modem in the wifi version, I would get rid off my cradlepoint router.

@peare: Are you referring to this thread? If so what was the outcome? The thread appears to have run dry with a request for dmesg. I suspect there is a similar problem with the phone tether needing an NDIS driver, I wonder if these could be installed on a rooted device without cooking the ROM?
It shouldnt be that difficult i suppose. I dont know linux, so i cant say anything. We need a line in wireless settings to point us to a APN. 3g model has a modem installed, I am inserting the modem externally. So whats the big deal? Some drivers and an application should do that for us.
Hello Everyone,
I need a little help, if possible.
I own a Galaxy 10.1 tablet. Recently my son dropped it and cracked the screen. I am not able to use the touch screen anymore.
The tablet is rooted, with current recovery and has a CM 10.1 JellyBean installed. I was in the impression that if I buy the samsung USB adapter then I can use the usb mouse but it seems like its not working.
I wiped the tablet and re-installed CM Nightly JB and its still not working.
Couple of questions:
1) Is there a way I can get the USB mouse working?
2) I also have a Bluetooth (BT) mouse that I can use but for that I need to have the Bluetooth option enabled and becuase the touch screen is not working that not happening.
3) Is it possible to request a backup from a co-owner with the bluetooth option enabled and then do a restore on my tablet? If yes, Can anyone volunteer to provide me a bluetooth enable backup?
4) Is there a way to enable bluetooth or mount USB mouse via zipfile through Recovery.
Thanks all and appreciate your help.
Found this link to enable bluetooth via adb (http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/21320/can-i-restart-the-bluetooth-from-terminal ) but it looks like it will pop up a confirmation...and if your touch screen isn't working you still may be out of luck. but it is worth a shot.
Hi,
I have TAB264 Yarvik. Only thing I need is to connect it to the RasPI and make USB tether. I test it on Arch Linux on my notebook. I can plug my phone with usb tethering allowed and than I am able to connect to the internet.
However, there is no such option on my TAB264. There is original ROM (4.2.2). I have installed some USB tether apps but nothing worked.
Do I need root or even new ROM? Or is it hardware dependent?
Thank you.
P.S. I can see the tablet in ADB if it helps.
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone could help?
My device is a HTC Desire 620, single sim (a31lu).
I have managed to install a custom recovery, root, and flash lollipop using Patrik.KT's build (the only available custom ROM for this particular device).
When my phone is on it's stock firmware, (KK 4.4, Sense 6, I believe), USB tethering works flawlessly with my Asus rt56u, and I'm able to share my internet connection.
When I'm on Lollipop, the USB tethering option stays greyed out and it fails to connect. I've tried it on a PC, and it recognises the device, but it then makes the sound as if I have removed the USB cable.
I have tried modifying the build.prop for net.provisioning and the settings for settings.db for tethering_dun_required=0 that are available anywhere on the interweb, to no avail.
Could this be a kernel problem? I've had this happen on an old S3 and a change of kernel was able to resolve the issue, but there are no kernels available for this phone.
Could anyone please help?
Many thanks.
Is anyone able to help at all?
I recently installed LineageOS on my s3 and am currently trying to use it in tethering mode because my PC doesn't have a WLAN card but for some reason it doesn't work. It connects but is saying "no connection" and when i disable tethering i can use the WLAN on the phone perfectly fine.
Do you guys have an idea to fix this? would be much appreciated
