[Q] Tethering on AT&T... - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone got tethering working for AT&T? I can turn on the native tethering, I can connect to it... But can't use the internet. Also, can't use the app "Wifi Tether for Root." Just got my N4 today, all I've done so far is unlock the bootloader and root it. Everything is stock.

Tethering works perfectly on my N4 on AT&T, all stock no root. internet works on the phone and on the tethered device.

What are your APN settings? May have something to do with it. I can tether just fine and I'm on at&t.

Wireless tether on cm7

Has this been fixed yet or how would go about making it work?

Doesn't work and messes up the built in tether. As far as I know if you've used the wireless tether, the only way to get the built in tether to work is to reflash.
Built in tether is located here:
Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Tethering and Hotspot.
Wireless Tether doesn't work...have to use the native tethering app, or use barnacle tethering.
Native tethering works.

Can someone tell me what's the benefit of wireless tether over the native tethering?
I got the native tether to work thanx guys

^^What got it working again?
As far as WT being better, it has more options like being able to see who's connected and keep track of how much data you're using. But it doesn't work so it's not better
Wireless Tether will let you do so with 4G as well, native hotspot won't do 4G with the hack.
Wait, native tether doesn't do 4G? So I've been turning on 4G and tethering for nothing?
Is there a trick to getting the tether to work on 4g? I can connect but no data transfers to my laptop? 3g works just fine.
It works really well for me

I didn't want to start another thread, so I'll post here.
Has this been remedied? The native tether hasn't worked for me either. I've wiped data/dalvik/cache and still nothing.
Suggestions?
No problem with mine. Maybe its just the 4g service?

...4g native wireless tether works for me on the last released nightly, however, is useless for me to use as it is constantly disconnecting ( I tether to xbox)...I have no problems with sense roms as I just got done with gears 3 for 4 hrs straight. If I switch back to cm7, it'll disconnect within 5 minutes...hope it gets fixed soon cus I reeaaalllyyy miss my cm...
4g tether works fine with a sense ROM, but I really like CM7. It's worked for the first day, then it stopped. Would get failed error codes. Wipe, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reflash CM7 reboot hasn't done anything to fix the problem.
I've tried wireless tether 2.0.5 --> 3.1
None have worked. They would start, but get hung up at (download) speed: .4kbs and .1kbs (upload)
Does your native tether turn on after 'wireless tether'? Mine does, so on the top notification bar it shows both running. But it doesn't connect.
I'd like to get back to using CM7 (my favorite so far) but I can't since using the tether is how I get internet access at home.
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046764
works for me ever since i did it.
Tether, 3G and 4G has always worked for me.

WiFi tether help

Need help running WiFi tether on rooted galaxy nexus stock jb and I can connect at times but nexus 7 won't actually get connectivity helppp
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Have you tried using the native tethering mod? You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1860817
Just flash from recovery and you can just use the stock wifi tethering in the settings menu.
EDIT: I suppose I didn't really answer your question... I know WiFi Tether can be quirky like that (at least back when I used it) but native tethering works great. If you really want to make WiFi Tether work... well I guess I'm no help!

[Q] Unable to tether/hotspot using nexus 4

Hi there,
I have a data plan of 500MB with Rogers Canada (on which tethering is not enabled). When I setup my phone as a wifi hotspot (or USB tether), a computer connects to the phone but there is no internet connection. Is this because tethering is not enabled on my sim card? If yes, how can the provider enforce it and is there a workaround for it?
Thanks for your time.

It's most likely your plan that does not offer tethering.
I am on AT&T, have no problem tethering on a stock job 4.2.2 ROM.
What happens when you enable hotspot on your phone?
Also, have you tried other WiFi tethering apps like foxfi?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
The connection between the phone and the computer is established but there is no internet connection.
Foxfi doesn't support nexus 4. It force closes when I enable its wifi tethering.

[Q] How to bypass T-Mobile Tether on Unlocked AT&T S4?

My internet is going to be down for a while and I wanted to tether it to my ipad. It's a unlocked at&t s4 with t mobile baseband to get LTE. Im currently using WICKED t mobile rom. I'm using the $30 t mobile prepaid for 5gb of LTE.
I tried all the wifi apps (foxfi, vpn shield, etc.) And tried a modded tether.apk file in the system app folder. None of it work. When I try to enable the hotspot, it said I needed to upgrade my plan to tether.
The wifi apps enable the hotspot, but when I connect with my ipad, a tmobile log in page pops up.
are there any works around?

FoxFi & PDANet

I can report that FoxFi & PDANet (USB or Bluetooth) works great on my Note 5. This means I do not have to root my phone. :cyclops:
Can anyone confirm if this works on the Verizon Note 5?
Yeah but wireless tethering doesn't work you have to use another application.

It works on the Verizon Note 5. Using it right now to post this.
FoxFi is working for me (Verizon) and at least lets me survive without rooting, although I'm starting to miss more features and stability with popular ROMs. I'm having more force closes and phone freezes than I've ever had on a rooted phone in the past.
My question is: has anyone vetted the FoxFi app? I understand that it has to install a certificate to accomplish it's goal. But has anyone tested network traffic and attempted to see if the FoxFi app is reporting network traffic or content to the FoxFi developer? It would be capable of doing this even when the FoxFi app is not functioning as the certificate remains. This could easily collect CC numbers and account passwords. I'm feeling like someone is watching me through the window at night.
easy thether works on bluetooth too.
It DOES NOT work on the ATT Note 5. Had to side load it and it will not turn on the hotspot. I refuse to pay another $30 for Hotspot function to AT&Thief so I would love to find a work around.

Use wifi tether router.

Could you provide a little more details on how that works. I can't seem to figure it out I have the Note 5 and the note 12.2 tablet (WiFi only)
I looked at Wifi Tether Router (the app) and it is for Rooted phones only. Now I'd love to root this phone but if I did I certainly wouldnt need this app. Is there another work around?

Yes it works perfectly.
Only issue I had was using Adguard at the same time but just turn it off then activate FoxFi/PDANet
I'm using it with WiFi and I'm on ATT

Likewise, if someone could pm me their WiFi tether settings, any different than the s6? Haven't tried those settings yet as I haven't had the need yet, and been tinkering around on other stuff lol

Works great on my Verizon note 5 and s6 edge plus.
ETA: both on unlimited data lines

What are you using to get WiFi tether with AT&T? Because FoxFi isn't working for me.

I just installed the app and it works. FoxFi use native tether program on the phone. I also have "Tether WIFI Router" that tethers directly. There are no real controls with FoxFi, but with other program you have to configure to make it work.
That problem I'm having, if I'm using FoxFi or the Tether WIFI Router, it disconnects my bluetooth. I can not seem to get around that issue. When I disconnect the tethering programs I have access to my bluetooth.
Let me know if you need the settings.

I assume your phone is rooted then if you are using Tether Wifi Router? Version 920C?
I just want to make sure the details of making the Wifi tethering to work before I void my warranty/trip knox. And I would greatly appreciate the settings please.
THANKS!
