Having a strange tethering issuse. My S4 doesn't seem to want to work on my G5's hot spot. When I reversed the Hot Spot, it works fine. As in, I use the S4 to transmit the Hotspot. My G5 was able to connect just fine and use the net. It's only when the G5 is the hotspot, and the S4 is using it's internet. It will load a webpage once, and then just gives me site can't be reached. Thoughts ?

Yes, I've done the routing fix. WiFi Tether functions, it just doesn't function well. I seem to be topping out at 20KBps with 4G, which is obviously pretty bad. And a bummer, too, since I was so looking forward to ditching EasyTether (crashes all the time, doesn't handle loss of 4G well). Anyone else had some problems here, or better yet, found a solution?
Using viperROM at the moment, for reference.
Yes!
Can't get the stock hotspot app to work either. My laptop connects fine but no data?

Don't you have to have something in your plan to use the stock hotspot app? I've never tried.
I can't get Wifi Tether to work at all.
But Sprint Hot Spot works fine. With a Hot Spot Enabled ROM of course.
Yeah, same here. WiFi Tether doesn't work at all, fails on the starting wifi interface.
HotSpot worked fine in an enabled ROM
Branacle works great for me.

What kind of speeds you getting?
And what ROM?
Ugh. Unlocked hotspot app is even less functional. Stupid thing prevents my 4G from connecting, same as USB tether does on Sense. So aggravating. This is the entire reason I rooted to begin with, and there's no workaround
i really hope the title made since but if it didnt hear is what im wondering is possible to do in any way with any app. i know how to use my G2 as a wifi and usb hotspot via tmobiles blazing fast 2meg service here in louisiana but what i actually would like to be able to do is have my home charter internet from my wifi router to my G2 and from the G2 to my new desktop via usb cable (doesnt have wifi and im out of usb wifi adapters). So basically .....Netgear wifi router>HTC G2>Usb cable>Desktop. Is this even a remote possibilty or am i stuck using the 2meg (5gig limit) tmobile connection? thanks for any help that can be offered, veritasaequita
So you're essentially attempting to utilize the phone as a WiFi adapter, correct? If that is the case, I'm pretty sure you can connect to WiFi and then connect the phone to your PC in internet tethering mode.
that is exactly what im wanting to do, im gonna try it real quick. i hadnt tried it because as i recalled when wifi connects usb greys out but i could be thinking of wifi tethering doing that. ima give it a quick try and post back. thanks for lending a hand
You're very welcome
wireless app works for my ipad or any other device. I just can not get it to tether to another android phone, it used to work no problem. The phone will not even recgonize the wireless network. Right now i have a samsung droid charge and tmobile g2x. I have also tried with a samsung vibrant. no combination works. But they will work with ipad and laptop. sometimes one phone might not have good service, so I would like to use wireless in them situations. I have also tried barnacle and open garden all with the same results. I can not get barnacle to work at all. Thanks
Hey guys,
I recently bought a Refurbished unlocked SM-G900T to use with my AT&T service. I chose the T-Mobile variant because of the faster android updates and unlocked bootloader. So far, It's been working great, no problems at all with voice, data, etc. The first thing I did when I got it was install the rooted stock OF6 rom Muniz_ri posted, then ran the "extreme debloat" script. Well, I tried to use tethering and it's acting really funny. I can enable tethering fine, and it works for about 1 minute, then it stops working. The connected devices drop to 1mbps connection strength (from the usual 130+mbps wireless N speeds) and have zero network connectivity. I tried the Tethering mod also posted on the rooted OF6 page, but it still does the same thing. PDANet+ also does the same thing. Anybody know what's going on? Wi-Fi works fine on the phone as a client.
Ok, so this only seems to happen when I connect a laptop which has an intel Wi-Fi chip in it. When I connect my iPad to it, it works perfectly.
Alright, the fix was to go into the device manager on the laptop and set the wireless card to Wireless G-only. The issue seems to be resolved by doing this.
Hello everyone I'm hoping to get some help I have an LG v30 but I purchased a few months ago it is the unlocked version from B&H Photo I use it on the Verizon network I use the hotspot daily. Here is my question for you all what is the range of the hotspot my phone has to be within 10 feet of my smart TV or any device that I am trying to let them use my Wi-Fi is this the average distance or what am I doing wrong my previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S5 useing foxfi I could take my phone outside and go about half a block away and the TV would still have the connection now I can barely leave the room with my LG v30 without it spooling can anyone help me if there is a setting to make the signal stronger in the developer settings or something?
So just gave this a try using my V30 (H932) and WiFi Analyzer on a LG G6. Within 5 ft, the signal strength was -45db. At 30ft, unobstructed, it was -70db. Still usable but getting on that edge of dropping connections. I would guess that phone designers have limited the distance for a hot spot more for security and power reasons than prior generations of phones.
One thing you can check is under Settings->Tethering->Configure Mobile HotSpot you can change the broadcast channels. If you going for distance, stick with 2.4GHz only as it will have better range. You should also check to see what channels are being heavily used in your area using a tool like WiFi Analyzer and manually pick a different channel so nobody else is stepping on your signal.
