I'm using foxfi to tether via Bluetooth and WiFi from a 4G phone.....a lot of things work well like browsing and certain apps. What doesn't work is the play stoe and certain apps like Netflix. Anyone have this issue?

Yes because when you use tether via bluetooth it doesn't recognize a wifi signal.
Does anybody know how to get fixfi working with sprint?

I just rooted my phone and installed the Wifi Tether app thats so popular, off the market. Unfortunately, when I run it, and enable tethering, I can't find it on my laptop,or my other phone. Any ideas? Anyone else having issues?

i used barnacle wifi tether and it worked flawless for me!
Even barnacle doesn't work for me!

So it seems that the droid x is just picky with what can connect to it. Fitting as I have issues with my droid staying connected to my wifi when saturating the bandwidth on the wifi (downloading from another computer on the lan). Anyway, its working fine right now between the dx and my hp netbook.

Just a heads up guys... it seems that after rebooting my phone, I'm able to tether again... I also noted that I havent ended any apps or anything. I also haven't enabled my wifi yet.

Exact same problem, Barnacle works sometimes, Android Wifi tether doesn't show up in Windows.
Works fine from my MT3G but not from my DroidX.
Barnacle is actually working pretty good right now. 1900Kb/s down just now with a solid connection for the past 10 minutes.
Ok so wen I turn on wifi tether it also turns on the built in wifi and then returns it off.
When it does that, built in hotspot and wifi say error. Can anyone show me alternative wifi tether apps?

I am assuming you are using Wireless Tether.
Ya, it doesn't work very well. I am using Barnacle Wifi Tether, it broadcasts ad-hoc but it works
Fortunately I also use barnacle but it doesn't work with ps3

Wow. It's just a question, and honestly, I was wondering the same thing as him. You don't need to get butthurt over this.
I was using AOKP 4.2 and it worked for a bit but since the 4.2.1 ROMs have launched i get a T-Mobile redirect when trying to use the hotspot feature.

A way to get around that is to use Firefox as your PC internet.
Phones don't apply tho, there UA strings show as mobile.

I definitely would like to be able to get access to all the AT&T hotspots that come in carrier-ridden phones. I use AT&T's service so hopefully it wouldn't be a hard thing to do? I'm assuming it's not possible.

Download pdanet, WiFi tether app, or any tethering app on the play store.

Sorry to piggy back onto this topic but is it possible on AT&T if I download a tethering app such as the ones mentioned above that I could tether my nexus 10 free of charge? (As in them not cancelling my unlimited and putting me on a more expensive limited tethering plan).

Although I haven't tried it on my N4 yet. Wifi tether worked beautifully on my CDMA sprint HTC Evo 4g with a custom rom (mikg)...

I don't think there is any different configuration to connect with PlayStation. You may check after changing the default Wi-Fi authentication protocol (WPA2)
hmm, i connected and logged in using my user and went into NBA2k13 and downloaded the updates
is that answers your question?

Are you using the built-in tethering app? Do you ever get redirects to the t-mobile upsell page when you use tethering on your computer?
For me, I can't even connect on my computer without either using Opera Browser or a UA-String change in Firefox. But I cannot do anything to make the PS3 not detect that I'm on t-mobile and block my connection. The PSN connection just "times out" because t-mo is blocking it.
Arrgghh
Edit: just saw you are in Beirut, not even on T-Mo USA I'm assuming lol. That could be why you have luck and I don't. DAMNIT!
I'd try using a 3rd party tether app. Namely the one that has its own google code page.

I've tried WiFi Tether, the TrevE version, foxFi, barnacle, pdanet.... none of them allow me to bypass the tmo upsell redirect.

I have had similar issues tethering my PS3.
Carrier: T mobile 70/month unlimited plan
Phone: Nexus 4
Initially, tethering worked for all PS3 applications (PSN, browser, netflix, system update). Then, they blocked PSN activity after a month or so. A few months later they blocked browser, but I could still use netflix and do system updates. Now nothing works. I have tried to use a wifi repeater in between the PS3 and Nexus 4 but still no dice, though I did not experiment too much with settings?
Id love to get my PS3 back online.

You guys really shouldn't use your phone data's download to download updates or games. Just use it to play online. It doesn't use up bandwidth to play. Heck I can play black ops 2 for an hour with tether and I use up like 30mb an hour. If you use it for downloading you're really going to have a red flag on your account.

Not trying to download a game. Just trying to download the blimp in gta. It's only a few kb I've heard. Also pdanet didn't work for me. I'm on carbon rom on my Nexus 4 and my wife also has carbon rom on her gs3. Her phone tethers perfectly. Any other tips?

If your phone has a hotspot feature where it shares its internet connection by creating a wireless network then yes.

If your phone has Bluetooth DUN capabilities (read: sharing the Internet connection over Bluetooth), then you may be able to use BlueVPN in the Nook to use your phone's connection. I have used it in the past, both with CM7 and CM10.x, and while it has the downside that some applications may keep saying that there is no connection available, most “important” apps would work (e.g. Browser, Gmail) so it can be a lifesaver sometimes. Keep in mind that the Nook does not have a Bluetooth antenna, so its transmission range is very short and you will need to keep your phone close to it.
