Just recently bought a Asus Nexus 7 and I find it an awesome device.
Unfortunately, I was surprised to see there is no option to turn my device into a wifi hotspot
or to share my nexus internet through USB to other computers.
thus I am now looking for apps that can help me achieve this
and would greatly appreciate anyone who has any recommendation for me..
p.s :- I tried wifi Hotspot and Foxfi (free version for both) but I can get neither computers no other mobile phones
to connect to the wifi hotspot they created through my nexus
Thank you.
Easy tether will let you share the internet with a computer using usb.

Easy tether.. got it..will try it out...
anyone else knows of a good one to use to wifi hotspot instead of usb?
no other apps?
Barnacle? Open garden? Pdanet? Foxfi? Easy tether?
I'm sorry..
my nexus 7 is running stock ROM..
it seems that with stock, the wifi hotspot is "blocked" or crippled or whatever..
now wonder when I used wifi hotspot of Foxfi, other devices can see my wifi but unable to access it..
I may need to root my N7, but I have never done rooting before and is a bit apprehensive in doing so..
trying to look up the easiest to understand guide as to how to root my n7 now..
additional info :- I am running android 4.2.2 and my N& build is jdq39
if anyone can point me to a guide to root my N7 with a little more ease, please do..
Thanks..
ok, i just saw this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150661
can anyone help confirm that this root ROM has the function to let me wifi hotspot with my nexus 7?
Also, if I were to successfully root.. am I able to return this to stock ROM if ever I feel the Root not to my liking?

Is there a way to enable the usb tethering on the Hero? I've read sprint disabled this feather awhile back. I'm rooted and use wifi tethering but my aunt just got a Hero (loves it btw), is not rooted and asked me could she tether. I don' live close to her or I'd root her phone. Is usb tethering a lost cause?
Thanks

you can do it on the 2.1 update (maybe just roms based off the update?) but you need to flash a VZW pri. to do so you need root? (citation needed)
i use the native tethering in cm 6.0 and it works awesomely. almost seems faster than my RoadRunner

Yes I know all is possible with flashing, which in this case is not an option. My aunt is not nearly technical enough for a root & flash.
Before we get into different prls. What OS version is her hero.
She is on latest 2.1 ending in .6
PDAnet and EasyTether. Just tell her to pick one, download it from the market, follow the setup instructions, and then tether away.
Is there any Sense ROM with USB Tethering?
PLEASE HELP! I can't get my wifi tether to work on my mytouch 3g. the application says its on and working but i cant get internet access on my laptop, an other devices such as smart phones can't even see it. i used super one click to root my phone and then installed the wifi tether app. i have superuser and spare parts. i have rooted this phone before and it worked fine so i know the hardware is capable. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've never had luck in 1.5 teathering you can flash the rom I use in my signature the 1.2 version and try that...

First of all, wrong section. I'll move to General where it belongs.
Secondly, does your rom support net filtering? If you don't know then at least tell us what kind of rom you're using.
i apologize, i did not change rom. its stock i only rooted to access a minor overclock and tether features. last time i rooted my phone i used a different method and had a caynogen 6 something rom froyo lookalike . and the stock rom the root i did last time did it also. if i need to load a custom rom then please let me know which one is best for the features i need

Ask the developer of your rom if the kernel supports netfiltering. If it's pure stock then that's your problem.
Update! Just an fyi. I got it to work very nicely simply by adjusting the frequency in the application's settings.
Hi All,
I'm really lost and after days of reading, I'm 100% sure I'm not great with these tech stuff.... I'm just messed up with meaning of terms (flash, kernel, ROM, etc...) needless to say understand what is going on...
I have been using a version 1 Nexus 7 3g tablet (JWR66Y - android 4.3) for sometime now and have been trying to find out how to wifi tenther without rooting since I just don't understand rooting. But I'm going to be travelling and really wanted to use my N7 as a wifi hotspot and to store photo from camera. Anyway, I finially gave up and tried to root for the first time in my life.
I used the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.2 and spend hours to unlock then root. I just followed everything as standard from the toolkit. I thought by the end of this I can wifi tender, but I was wrong... :crying: I still don't have the option in setting nor does any of the tether apps from play store work....
My question on wifi tether/hotspot is - 1. What am I missing?
As for OTA, I was reading about N7 being able to store file from usb (like photos from camera). Apparently that need to root too. 2. I have now root, does that mean this will work?
I am just soooooo lost!!! I googled heaps and I see post about roms or root and all the magic things people do. I see many that is not 4.3 but mine is and I don't know if that would kill my N7. Can anyone point me to post or point me to the right direction of what I need to do???
Many thanks in advance!!!!
Hello guys. I want to root my s4 on 4.3 tryed to find qbkings method but it looks like it doesn't support 4.3? All I want is stock root so I can get free WiFi teather. That's it nothing more, nothing less. Thanks in advance guys!

If you are on 4.3 baseband and don't mind the possibility of voiding warranty then
here is the direct download link for cf-autorooter by chainfire for your phone:
http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
Unzip into empty folder and use Odin which is in the zip to flash the TAR.MD5 file.
Good luck!
Will this give new free Wi-Fi tether or will I need to load that also? Thank you!!!!

This has nothing to do with wifi tether, this will simply root the phone.
Good luck!

I know this is just root, but didn't know if it came with tether. Any suggestions on where our how to get tether? I've rooted before on other phones and installed custom roms with tether built in, but this is for a friend who cannot get internet in his home so he uses his 3g connection off his phone as a tether. He used it on his s2 for years and it worked fine. Now he upgraded to an s4 and needs his internet back.lol.
Thanks again guys!!
You dont need root to use tethering
Dear all,
I followed most instructions from XDA developers and succeeded in rooting and also installed twrp and super su. But unfortunately none of posts worked for me in re enabling tethering. In my windows phone it is a very basic feature they offer. Some apps like foxfi, tetherfix, etc.. Claim to solve the problem but not working. Foxfi is working OK in USB tethering. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please note I'm using airtel connection.
You could use EasyTether , its much easier and has a better connection abilities as well . I used to use FoxiFi but I had enough of it , it was just too slow ..
