Hi, I have the unlocked Google Nexus 4,
and I am using it on T-mobile.
I did not get it from Tmobile, but on the Google Play Store.
And, is there an any way to activate the hotspot for nexus 4?
tried the hotspot apps in the Play Store, rooted and unrooted ones, but nothing worked.
I tried out the stuff thats built into the phone, but it gets connected, but no internet.
does it lead you to a tmobile page? or it just wouldn't connect? have you try to connect with other devices?
Don't know what to tell you, I use the hotspot that is provided with the OS and it works fine for me. Does your computer connect to the phone and not the internet, or will it not even recognize the hotspot?

It could be a feature not enabled in your plan. I would check there first
It's not part of my plan. I'm trying to do it "on the sly".
I was hoping I could get Wi-Fi tether to make the Nexus 4 appear as an access point, and not ad-hoc, but I haven't been able to get it to do that. Anyone else had luck?

Can anyone help?? I've looked everywhere. I can connect to the hotspot, just not to the internet. Same thing happens with the hotspot on my Galaxy Tab. Both are with ATT.

AT&T actively blocks teather if you don't pay for it. Not sure of a work around as they are blocking it from there end not the phones end. That said some of the thethering apps claim to be able to defeat this, the one Koush made, clockworkmod tether, comes to mind but it only has a 14 day free trial, $4.99 after that. It also requires a desktop client to be installed. Also is this plain AT&T or Straight Talk AT&T? Straight Talk limits you to 100 MB of data per day with a 2 GB cap. If you go over either they throttle you to 2G speeds for the rest of the month.
Regular ATT, not straight talk. Looks like the clockworkmod tether is usb only.....
Try WiFi tether for android.

I got the nexus Monday and put in cyanogen mod now when I tether I'm getting the up sell page for hotspot any ideas?

That's because you didn't buy the hotspot feature for your phone. The page will continue to pop up to tell you to add and pay for the feature to continue tethering.

Poppycock. OP, just get Firefox and get the extension that allows you to change your user agent. Once tmobile sees a mobile device they will allow tethering.
Google is your friend.
Hello,
I have tried to use the built in wireless tethering on the Nexus 4 for T-Mobile, but it seems that they have blocked it. Is there any other way I can tether the Nexus 4 on T-Mobile?
Thanks

How is it blocked? It works for me on T-Mobile but it sometimes takes a few minutes to start working once I enable it.

I'm also on tmobile and the wireless tethering works fine, the only problem is, it takes a while about 3-5 min for it to fully connect and have internet. If you don't wait, the connection will show limited access.

Nevermind, its working now. I don't know why it wasn't working before. It used to say limited connection only.
I thought you were going to say that you got the upsale message for not having a tethering plan!
My t-mobile tethering is working fine. Connects within 1 minute and I can watch Netflix on my tablet easy. I like how t-mobile network is faster than my home cable internet.

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.

Hello,
I have Nexus 7 3G version (4.3). and I want to setup WiFi hotspot so my other phone can connect and use the internet on nexus 7. But I could not find the tethering and portable hotspot.
Is there a way to make it run on nexus 7 ? Tried foxfi but my other phone just say " Obtaining IP address" and nothing happens.
If root is needed, can you point me to a site with detailed Instruction and what WiFi hotspot app should I install ?
What are my other options ?
Thanks and looking forward for your reply.
