Which version of the app are you using? I find that strange things tend to happen, but eventually it does work after rebooting (sometime more than once).

I just recently was having the same problem. It would connect to my laptop fine...but no internet. Try clearing data for it first. For me, I had to wipe all data and programs...and reflash the rom (bonsai). It works fine, now. I am using the pre14 version.
Also dont have 4g turned on at first.

Have you tried the usb tethering thats included with the bionix rom?
My internet speeds are actually faster tethering than on my phone.

you know it's funny....
For some reason on my phone, my friends vibrant, and even a few droids and a fascinate i rooted and put custom roms on... none had any programs on them.... which i thought was weird?
I thought maybe it was cuz everytime i flash a new rom i always do a data wipe and figured that was why, but then after upgrading my buddies bionix 1.2.1 to 1.3.1, he still had no apps installed...
Maybe you could shed some light on something i'm probably doing wrong?
its not an app, it's built in to the rom itself. Go to settings, then wireless network, then tethering and check it and your done. I think you need to have the samsung drivers installed which I'm sure you have if you have ever had to Odin.
Yea actually i noticed it yest when i got home but ill have the internet back next week. Just moved to a new place so ive been stealing wifi lol! Or tethering

If you're using any kind of battery saving app your phone may be turning off 3G when the screen shuts off.
3g works fine but can't find route to host on WiFi. Anyone ever exp this?

I don't think it was a WiFi issue. Most probably, the ISP your WiFi router is connected to had a connection issue with a portion of the internet. It happens from time to time when a node goes down temporarily, and an alternate route can't be found.

Here is my situation.
I have 2.3.7, stock, rooted, using Pete's 2.6.35.14 kernel. I installed wireless tether 2.0.8 pre-1 and set it to use bluetooth tethering. It works great, even via 4G. My issue however, is that it only works great to 1 device. My laptop, or my Galaxy Tab 10.1, connect perfectly fine and there are no issues. If I try to connect the other device (whichever other, doesn't matter the order from what I've tried) it won't work.
If I have my laptop connected first, then on my Tab, it will say it is connected in the bluetooth settings menu, but there is no internet access and there is no bluetooth tethering icon down by the clock.
If I have the Tab connected first, then try my laptop it will also say connection successful but then down on the taskbar the internet icon will have the little exclamation point and it will say no internet access.
Soooo..... is there a way to connect multiple devices via bluetooth? I really really hope so, but perhaps this is just a limitation of the PAN profile in bluetooth, or maybe the phone is only using the DUN profile or something. But in all my searching I haven't found an answer and I just don't know myself. Any devs out there know?
Why not just use Wifi to tether multiple devices?

Because 4G tethering via wifi doesn't work (in infrastructure mode, anyway), unless you pay the $29.99 to Sprint, which I am currently doing. But in my opinion, it is BS that they charge this. And given I very rarely use tethering, I hate paying for it.

You know Pete has the wireless tether fix that unlocks the sprint tethering.

This only unlocks the 3G tethering though, not 4G. Right? Or did I miss where that was also fixed?
I thought on nexus s 4g was free tethering on google own app on 3g and 4g?

Nope, not true. When it first was out, 3G was.... but subsequent updates have stopped even that.
I think the max on Bluetooth tethering is something like 2 MB download so make sure your getting all you can.

No other thoughts on this?
Yeah David279, it probably isn't fast enough to get full 4G speeds, but still plenty fast for the little bit I'd use it.... oh well, I guess I'll keep paying $29.99 a month until someone figures out how to do infrastructure in wifi tether on the Nexus S (or until I buy the prime if it ends up on Sprint).
Have u try the latest beta of wifi tether

Hey Folks,
Ever since the NS4G received the OTA causing tethering to not work unless you paid i've been interested in finding the easiest tethering solution (rooted) possible.
I came across android-wired-tether but assumed it wouldn't work because it hasn't been updated in two years.
Well I finally got around to trying it, and I think it's my favorite now. It starts tethering similar to how USB tethering in the android menus using RNDIS and tweaking some settings in the kernel via twiddling stuff in /proc.
So it works with 3G and 4G both. I prefer it to wireless tether since you actually get to keep the phone "charging" while you're tethering rather than burning through battery like mad running a 3G or 4G radio as well as the wireless radio.

There's nothing wrong with wirelessly tethering AND charging your Nexus via a USB cable at the same time. Besides I prefer to just run a ROM with native tethering built in.

There is also a flashable zip to hack sprint hotspot also that works well.

the ics sdk port works great for a wifi hotspot, as well as native usb tethering

Well two comments on that hack:
1) The thing i'm not keen on for that hack is that you don't really know what other improvements you're missing from the proprietary RIL by flashing the old one.
2) You can't tether with 4G when using the hack.

The device gets noticeably warmer and the battery drains quicker than it can charge via the USB.

Err, no, mine doesn't. When I need to tether, it's because my myriad of wifi devices need internet, not just my laptop.

I can't get tethering to work on my Nexus 4 at all, not with USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi hotspot. When using the WiFi hotspot option my computer--Windows 7--hard crashes after logging into the Nexus 4. Very strange.
I am on T-Mobile as well but I get nothing, just a crash. USB and Bluetooth tethering do nothing at all.

call your service provider and ask them to activate tethering. my provider (orange UK) doesn't charge for this so it was no problem but yours may be different.
i used to tether with my old phone on the same account without issues. i think that something about the N4 alerts them to tethering so that they can block it.
