Okay, so i recently rooted my Intercept so i could remove the crapware. I also tried to tether it so i could use my nook tablet everywhere. I tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
this one. and i tried barnacle. I realize now that one problem was that these apps make ad-hoc nets, and some devices don't see them. I didn't get barnacle working, and the other one worked the first time then got errors every time i tried to start it after. Now i've uninstalled those apps and i can't use my wi-fi normally. The check mark is unchecked in the settings and it says Error below it. I click it on and it doesn't work. Help? Any hints? Did i do something stupid?

Are you using a rooted ROM?
I've had luck on the Intercept using both Wireless Tether for Root Users and Widgetsoid and adding the widget to the screen with the Wifi Tether Icon.
I've always just done the settings changing the SSID to AndroidAP with open/no security. Using these settings I've had no trouble tethering devices from my TF101 to Windows and Ubuntu laptops.
If you are still having issues, drop me a line and I'll walk you through.
Cheers!
I have the paid Wifi Tether Router app by Fabio Grasso. I used to have it on my old phone which I had no problems with. Is there a setting I need to set for it to work or is there a better app for wifi hotspot?
or is there a way to put the last OTA before 27A on the phone than I can use the WiFi tether hack

When I go to the above link I get a warning from McAfee that it contains viruses and spyware.
Suddenly WiFi Hotspot stopped while I was in CM11. I upgraded to CM12 still the same issue. When switch on wifi hotspot nothing happens. Previously it use give a notification saying that Tethering or WiFi hotspot active. But now nothing happens, no notification. Wifi works as usual but not WiFi Hotspot. I badly need a solution. Please anyone help me.

Same issue here. Im using CM12.1, then I installed Orbot and runs as service. Portable hotspot did run OK with VPN running. This morning after I reboot my device, suddenly other device can't connect to hotspot (very long connecting progress). After I remove Orbot, it fixed.
Another solution can be read HERE that may comply to your issue.
Hey guys I need a little help, ever since I updated from slimkat rom 4.4 to cm 12 I can't get mobile phones to connect to my Hotspot only when using a VPN, laptops connects fine without issues but only mobile phones won't connect but however if I'm not running my VPN app then other phones connect fine so I'm wondering Y it used to work on slimkat rom but not on lollipop roms any ideas?
what do the logs say?
Well if i turn on Hotspot normally without running VPN app my blackberry phone connects without a problem but as soon as I start the VPN app and turn on Hotspot it won't connect, it says failed to obtain ip address but my laptops connects fine without issues
I recently put rooted Lollipop PB1 on my SM-G900V (verizon), put AFWall+ on it, and thought all was good. However, when I restart my phone I can use wifi and VPN fine, but mobile hotspot tries and fails, even if I manually disconnect VPN first. I restart again and mobile hotspot works fine, but if I disconnect then VPN using native android interface is always "unsuccessful." I've tried OpenVPN client and PIA client instead of the native one but to no avail (I think the PIA one made it so my wifi couldn't come back on until a restart). Yes, VPN, OpenVPN and PIA are enabled in AFwall+ (wifi, mobile, vpn boxes).
It seems like restart is a toggle to use vpn, restart again to use hotspot, but not both. something wacky seems to be going on with the radios.
I suppose if I had to choose I can just restart and just use mobile hotspot and forgot about vpn, but I am just wondering if there's something obvious I've overlooked since it'd be great to be able to use both.
Thanks for reading.
It seems my network stack is messed up. With AFwall uninstalled, I'm getting DNS errors connected to wifi and/or mobile. I've unfrozen all system apps except Peel Remote, and nothing system-related is Greenified.
Changed DNS server from this tip here and rebooted. Wifi and data work now.
How could DNS have gotten corrupted? Should I just do a factory reset?
Testing to see if this fixed original problem.
Ok, the above DNS change did fix the original problem.
I restored AFwall+ from Titanium backup (app + data).
Ran wifi with VPN. Check.
Turned off VPN and ran hotspot. It tried, tried, and worked third time.
Turned hotspot off, enabled wifi, and ran VPN. "Unsuccessful."
Uninstalled AFwall+.
Wifi on, ran VPN. Fail.
Turned off wifi and ran hotspot with mobile. VPN works.
Turned off hotspot, turned off mobile, turned on wifi. VPN fails.
Restarted.
Wifi on, VPN on. "Unsuccessful" once ....then connected.
Wifi off, data on, hotspot on. Success.
Wifi on, data off, VPN? "Unsuccessful"
Try again manually. Success.
So it seems that I did something in AFwall+ that really messed up my network stack.
Is there an easy reset or fix to get things more stable again?
