Hey guys, have any of you been able to share internet using the s3 as wifi hotspot on LOS 14.1? I connect to the phone with other devices, but all of them are unable to surf and they say cpnnection is limited and without internet. I can't find anything on the rom thread.
Thanks!
Does your carrier allow WiFi tethering?. Some carriers charge extra.
Check the ip addresses are all in the same pool on each device ie 192.168.xxx.yyy (xxx must match, yyy must be unique to the device).
Check the WiFi tethering block list and make sure all devices are allowed.
For testing purposes make sure any power saving options are disabled for WiFi.

checked everything, still not working
Are you using magisk?. If so look in magisk manager for "crossbreeder lite" and kill it.

Nope, it's unrooted, just plain lineage os 14.1 with latest updates and nano or pico gapps
Sounds like a network setup issue, like no gateway or dns being found.

Now before everyone flames, YES i prefer bluetooth tethering. due to where i work having 9 access points for our mobile scanners ( corporate ) and too many companies with WiFi in the area thats locked, ive used bluetooth tethering. It worked for one day solid, then after it drops connectivity once the phones screen goes black ( off ). thought it was power saver but nope. Can not figure it out. Tried a few things such as full reboot, uninstall any apps that use BT, and checked updates ( xD NOPE Root too valuable ).
Can anyone help me?
Ls990 G3 BT tether to Asus ME572C ( newer asus nexus 7 like device )
I CAN NOT use wifi tethering due to issues in the area, which is why the store nolonger offers WiFi
Did you modify anything else? Kernel, modem...
And which kernel and modem u using?
Have you tried PDANet for Bluetooth (or USB) tethering? It's a pay app, but you can try the limited version for free & if it works, pay for the full app.
Before you say anything I know that this isn't bluetooth but this is a REALLY good app 100% works (for me) he has instructions for every device. Also you could try modifying your apn and add this: "dun" (don't add quotation marks when you type this. Just type that into the "Apn type" setting in the apn settings section (if you are on stock this will be harder)

Thanks to badjedi for pointing this out. I have verified that the X Tether module for the Xposed Framework will allow you to successfully tether using the stock app provided with the Z3v.
This is primarily for those of you who have a Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan with Verizon Wireless and would like to not have to pay for tethering while we wait for customs roms. I apologize in advance for not being able to post links. The required files are attached.
If you are not already rooted, please follow GigaSPX's guide on how to root your Z3v.
Please download and install wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Open the installed app and verify that Disable Update-Check is selected under settings
Press the big button to start tethering. Click grant when prompted for root access. The big button will turn yellow. Press it again to stop tethering. You will get a bunch of errors during this process, this is normal. This will install the required binaries and config files to /data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/
Restart your phone.
Verify that tether.edify is located in /data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/conf/ using root explorer or another file manager of your choice. If it does not exist repeat the above steps.
Replace tether.edify with my modified version located in the attached tether.7z archive.
You can now tether over wifi using this app.
NOTE:
Enable WiFi-Encryption does not work.
Enable Access-Control does work and can be used to prevent unauthorized access to your network.
Make sure under Advanced Wi-Fi in your system settings the option Scanning always available is checked.
I followed your steps exactly, but it doesn't seem to be broadcasting. I don't see a wifi signal from the phone on my computer or ipod, even though it says it is broadcasting. I've uninstalled the app, cleared the data, and reinstalled app using the procedure above twice. Any suggestions?

Answer:
Make sure under Advanced Wi-Fi settings the option Scanning always available is checked.
Extra info:
This is needed because I haven't found the name of the wifi kernel module and this setting keeps the module loaded even when wifi is switched off. Also, if you are using windows 8.1 you may not be able to see and connect to an ad-hoc network without using the command prompt. For some reason Microsoft decided to remove this default functionality after Windows 7. Not relevant here but...It is the same for recent android kernels, no support to connect to ad-hoc networks through the Wifi settings without using shell commands.
I haven't had much time due to work, but I am certain infrastructure mode will work on this phone. I can't promise I'll get it done anytime soon though since work is going to be way to demanding for a couple months.
FYI, I've discovered that the Xposed mod X Tether works to enable the native hotspot without the entitlement check.

I sure would've loved if this discovery was made at least 2 weeks ago. The stupid entitlement checking wouldn't let me hotspot from a foreign sim card while I was in Thailand.

Hi guys,
so this is kind of a last resort... I asked and looked everywhere trying to figure this out. There are certain WIFIs that my v30 (H930, v21o, stock rom with magisk) just won't connect to. For example at my work wifi. Or recently I got it with a wifi at a McDonalds.
-->When I try to connect to it, it first says "connecting..." but only for a very short instant, then it switches to "saved" and finally after another ~30sec it finally states "disabled" and then it stays there without ever connecting.
I have talked to the IT guy and he never even gets an attempt to log in from my phones MAC adress, so there is no connection attempt made by the phone... We did router restarts, tweaked some settings... nothing. I tried resetting my network settings, updated firmwares...
Otherwise wifi works perfectly fine at home and at friends places with both 2.4ghz and 5ghz..
Any ideas?

Do you have any custom DNS settings? One guy found out his work Wi-Fi network was rejecting his phone when using Cloudflare DNS.
How he figured that out, I don't know. But changed DNS server to another and he connected.

I'm having this issue with US99820H. There are some access points that the phone refuses to connect to.
It shows "Connecting...", and then "Saved", then "Disabled".
The phone is in Stock Oreo so there is no way to setting a custom DNS when the phone is not online.

Not true. Various ad blocker apps like Blokada and AdGuard change DNS servers. In AdGuard settings as well as Blokada you choose what DNS servers you want to use.
I'm not saying that's the reason you can't connect to Wi-Fi, but apparently some Wi-Fi networks don't like Cloudfire and there may be others they don't like. Are you using an ad blocker?
To answer your PM, I'm using rooted stock Oreo US998 20h. My wife, mother, sister and brother-in-law are using full stock Oreo US998 20h.

I only use the DNS app from Cloudfare. And it cannot work without the phone being connected to the Internet.

Uhmm... do you have a SIM card? An active cell phone plan? Then you are connected to the Internet already. The problem you are having is connecting to a Wi-Fi network for your Internet connection instead of using mobile data.
I'm pretty sure the Cloudflare app works whether you use cellular internet or Wi-Fi internet. Otherwise it would be useless half the time.
If you don't have an active cell phone plan with data and are ONLY using Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet, your DNS settings are still being set by the Cloudflare app.
Your problem may be something completely different. I was just mentioning Cloudflare DNS settings as something I was aware of but most people aren't. Then it's striking that you indeed are using Cloudflare...

Maybe it really is the problem.
I don't use a SIM card in this phone.
I'll try uninstalling the Cloudflare app tomorrow to see if it works, since that access point is in the house of my friend.
But why are they preventing us to use custom DNS, though?

Assuming that's what the problem is, various reason. The guy that couldn't connect to his work Wi-Fi probably has corporate IT department that wants to log all DSN queries (Big Brother).
Some ISPs in the U.S. make you rent their cable modem/Wi-Fi gateway rather than provide your own. (Congress has now passed a law forbidding this but doesn't take effect for another month or two.) Anyway on those ISP owned gateways they control all the settings, including possibly blocking custom DNS servers.
For others just may be issues with Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, whereas Google's 8.8.8.8 may work just fine?
To test, you may want to install a DNS Changer app where you can change to DIFFERENT DNS servers of your choice.

Thank you for sharing the app.
I notice that this problem occurs after I Refurblish the phone with Us998 20h via LGUP.
Today I flashed the Nougat Us998 10d in Partition mode (LGUP), factory reset with hard buttons, then flash Oreo US998 20h in Upgrade mode (LGUP).
After done setting up everything, I can connect to that access point.
I installed the Cloudflare app, turn it on with wifi on, and then turn the app and wifi off.
I could still connect to that access point.
So I think the problem wasn't the Cloudflare app.
I think the Firmware us998 20h must be missing something. (The downloaded firmware file's md5 code is exactly the same with the md5 code in the thread about us99820h kdz).

Interesting. That's about the opposite of what I would have expected. Refurbish rebuilds from the ground up, like a super duper factory reset.
If you had bootloader unlock and TWRP custom recovery and told me you updated to Oreo 20h using TWRP flashable zips and didn't have everything -- that would be understandable. Those are incremental updates, which is why you have to flash the 20e, 20f, 20g, 20h zips all back to back to get "everything" in the 20h KDZ.
But telling me you flashed 20h KDZ (which is an LG official FULL stock image) via LGUP Refurbish mode and somehow it's incomplete vs "Upgrade" mode via LGUP (which only adds parts you don't already have) is very strange.
However, I'm glad it's working for you now. I'm just very puzzled.
Just wanted to report back, since Pie update all my WiFi connecting issues went away. It was clearly an issue with the firmware I used back then and something they fixed with Android 9.
Hi, the stock phone limits the hotspot/ tethering functionality. Any recommendations on how to bypass the same or an app that allows unrestricted tethering?
My unlocked Samsung phone allows full tethering.
Thanks in advance!
use FoxFi or PDANet+ (theyre made by same people)
-i have attached the unlocker key to unlock unlimited data usage.
Thanks for the key, but FoxFi doesn't seem to work on the OnePlus n200 T-Mobile variant.

It does, you also have to install the base PDAnet+ app. The unlock key just removes the apps limits.
Using USB tether appears to work... the key is that you DO NOT tether through the native android app, instead you connect it to PC and just leave it as charging/transfer mode. then inside of the PDAnet+ app you allow tether usage from in the app. it will use ADB to share the internet so all you have to do is allow access when the popup comes up on your screen.
yes, you have to install a companion app on the computer.
Another way to setup unlimited fast-speed tethering is by using ssh tunneling inside of a (free, open source) termux app on the phone.
The setup is somewhat cumbersome but offers very reliable results once configured. In addition, the minimal configuration does not require paid apps. To automate the process two paid apps (Tasker and Termux:Tasker) are needed but for many people the investment may be worth it since tasker is an extremely powerful and useful app on its own and termux:tasker is not expensive (it can also be useful beyond tethering for automating other advanced things termux could do).
The link to instructions is at the end of the post. Below is a brief (or not so brief) description description of required configuration (complimented by automation steps) but go to the link to get a proper guide.
1. Install termux application, install python 2 package inside of termux and run configuration command in the link below.
2. install openssh package inside termux application. Configure ssh server as described in the link, this involves copying the client identity key to an appropriate termux folder.
3. Once you verified that you can ssh into the phone's ssh server (with hotspot running, of course) you can tether the phone: start ssh server on the phone by running the command "sshd -dD" inside termux app on the phone ("d" option is for debugging and can be dropped); connect your laptop to hotspot; run an appropriate ssh command on the laptop (see the link); configur proxy on the laptop; enjoy.
4. One of the configuration steps above involves figuring out the hotspot IP. It can be done in several ways. It is shown as the device WiFi/hotspot IP on the phone and as a gateway IP on a tethered device. On tethered linux device the hotspot has hostname "_gateway" one can use hostname instead of IP. I do not know if the same is true for Mac or Windows.
5. You can automate the process by installing two paid apps: "Tasker" and "Termux:Tasker". With these apps you can automatically start/stop ssh server on the phone whenever hotspot is active.
6. Similarly, on the laptop you should be able to automate proxy configuration and ssh connection whenever you are connected to a specific network.

i was using easytether for a while but tbh it was a pain with having to installing software on my pc and lag in games so i ended up rooting and using vpn hotspot with adguard. works like a charm
if you have access to kernel source, you should be able to enable ttl changing like I did on my S10+. Then once the new kernel was built, I could change ttl for my native hotspot to always show as if it was using on device data instead of metered wifi hotspot. So I can now use my native hotspot uncrippled and my carrier see's all my traffic as normal on device data and not hotspot data

Ah ok, then PdaNet is pry your best bet. Sucks but better than nothing...
PDANet+ on Linux works great for me. Start the Wifi Direct hotspot on the Android app, and then connect to the SSID it creates normally using network manager or whatever you use. Trick then is to enter the proxy settings into advanced networks settings. Works great with no noticeable lack of speed. If you use the terminal and APT, or whatever the equiv is in your distro, you'll also want to edit the .conf file to include the details, for apt.conf, it's something like "Acquire::http:roxy "192.168.49.1:8000";"

You must not be on Android 11? PdaNet was a PITA for me on 11. PdaNet proxy changed on every run of that app so I was constantly changing proxy in Linux. Still though, better than nothing if you can't do the ttl mod.

Actually I am on Android 11. The proxy address never changes. I wonder what that is a result of? Have you also installed FoxFi along with the key for full version? Not sure if that makes a difference, but that's my setup and it's been rock solid... as long as it's a computer to phone. My desire for a way to connect my Xbox to the phone and avoid the mobile hotspot usage hit, well that's another story for another board.
Hey I just reverted back to stock from Cherish OS, kept having way too many issues with the ROM rebooting or just freezing. I managed to get hotspot working on Cherish by editing the build prop to include:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
then pushing adb shell: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Was working fine minus the crashes.
Now going back to stock I havnt had any unexpected crashes but I cannot seem to get the tethering to work anymore using magiskhide prop config. Does anyone know what else needs to be done to get wifi tethering working again? It looks like the DUN APN setting on my custom APN does not stick around after saving it, I dont know if it was enabled on Cherish OS somehow or what the difference between the two set ups would realistically be.
Edit:
Solution Provided by lentm:
"If you're rooted, try using VPN Hotspot: https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/releases"
Just enabled wlan0.
Still looking for a solution, If someone can point me to where I might need to start to resolve this I would appreciate it.
Ex; does it need a custom keneral? or Radio?
What is the limiting factor, that doesnt allow the connected device to get internet?

I can confirm the linked app works and replicates the built in Wifi Hotspot feature. I have it running on a T Mobile, bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock firmware, and on Android 11. Worked with my desktop, other phone, and Smart TV. I do not have it as a part of my plan. No VPN, port, or other nonsense to setup on the client to get it working. Just put in the WiFi spot password and off you go!.
Thanks for the link! I was never able to find a way to get the built in one working with out an app of some kind. I have no idea what would be needed to patch the factory hotspot to get it working without an app.

Great. BTW, I think the reason why it's recommended to use with the VPN (such as AdGuard) is to hide the tether usage.
I was a bit skeptical, but after I enabled the wlan0 toggle it worked! thank you soo much I have been struggling with this for a while.

Something to note here I wasn't using Adguard and had no issues with the hotspot vpn app. I wasn't using the "Temporary Hotspot" toggle in the app either. Using the wlan0 option gave me Internet on any device I tried while on T Mobile service / Towers. I went out of town and I'm now roaming on US Cellular indicated on my notification bar. This hotspot method stopped working for me. I could connect to the hotspot but no internet. After some research I found using Adguard does resolves this as you mentioned. In the VPN hotspot app you must choose "tun0" as the upstream interface.
