Google Edition S4 by JanJan - wifi tethering not working ?? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I installed the 4.3 v2.2 rom on my Galaxy S4 - its the Google Edition S4 by JanJan. I turned on wifi tethering and then tried to connect to my phone using my laptop or tablet and I am able to get an IP address but I cannot surf anywhere.
I am able to surf using the browser on the S4 phone.
I am connnected to LTE on the Rogers network.
The SIM works in my S2 and I can enable WiFi tethering and use it perfectly fine - so it's not a carrier provisioning issue.
I have installed FoxFi on the S4 and still have the same issue - able to get an IP but no surfing.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

I'm on Rogers too. I have noticed that with all non touchwiz roms. If you disable lte and use 4g or lower you will be able to get online. With my s3 there was a script you could add to connect to lte but I was unable to find one that works with the s4/4.2.2

Solution
So as it turns out there were 2 APN settings on the phone ltedata and ltemobile. ltemobile was the active one and I could surf on my phone. I deleted the other one and I can now surf from my connected devices using wifi tethering.

Rooted MT3G Tmobile Tethering with T-mobile Hotspot combo

Hey guys, I recently downgraded to R29, did the root thing, upgraded to TMO OTA DRC83 - US with the expansion (basically donut 1.6) and then loaded the HTC Hero Theme (all found on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456)
Now I've successfully tethered my phone's 3G using it as a wifi and I've did some searching on these forums on setting up a PAN via BT, which doesnt seem like the current build allows for it yet am i right?
Well my problem is that Tmobile 3G is pretty terribad compared to the other 2 companies (Verizon + ATT). I have the 24.99 data plan and I've heard that it allows your phone free access to T-mobile HOTSPOTs at places like Starbucks.
I recently tried to connect the MT3G to one of my wireless networks and successfuly used internet on it. Now when I tether it as a wifi and access the MT3G on my computer and still have the MT3G connected to my home wireless network (note: tethering resets the wireless so you have to reconnect), the MT3G accesses internet fine. However, my computer isn't able to go on the internet at all even though it says it's connected to the MT3G.
Is it becuase you can only have one wireless "instance" @ a time--- aka tether + wireless network = no no on MT3G?
I know the USB tethering is an option, but i'd like my girlfriend and I to both be able to use it too.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
This answer might seem vague and very minimalistic...however; the T-Mobile HotSpot Era has come to and end. You're not very likely to have "usable" service from a "HotSpot" anymore.

[Q] Unable to connect to Internet

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 I5800 handset. I have successfully upgraded to Android 2.2 & rooted my phone. But there seems to be a problem. I am not able to connect to Internet on my phone using service provider net services(vodafone India) whereas I am able to connect using Wi-fi. please help.
There is a big difference between wifi and 3G you may need a HSPDA converter router.
Check your APN's settings

Agree. You can call your local provider and they can send those settings via SMS (not in all countries)

WiFi Tethering Not Working

Hello
I have a Rogers Samsung S4 that I installed the stock Android onto it (4.3). Rom name: Google Edition S4 By JanJan xda AFG).
Everything works great except when I turn on WiFi tethering I can connect to the phone with my laptop or another device and get an IP from the phone but I cannot surf anywhere. I can surf on the phone no problem. I am connected to LTE. I also tested the SIM on another device and I can WiFi tether with no problem - so I know the SIM set up is fine.
What am I missing on this set up?
Thanks

Try ES File Explorer from the play Store.
Open ES File Manager, Got To Net Manager and try to create a hotspot from there and connect and Browse. It should work fine.

[Q] How to bypass T-Mobile Tether on Unlocked AT&T S4?

My internet is going to be down for a while and I wanted to tether it to my ipad. It's a unlocked at&t s4 with t mobile baseband to get LTE. Im currently using WICKED t mobile rom. I'm using the $30 t mobile prepaid for 5gb of LTE.
I tried all the wifi apps (foxfi, vpn shield, etc.) And tried a modded tether.apk file in the system app folder. None of it work. When I try to enable the hotspot, it said I needed to upgrade my plan to tether.
The wifi apps enable the hotspot, but when I connect with my ipad, a tmobile log in page pops up.
are there any works around?

[Q] Cannot access internet while using hotspot

Greetings people.
I am a new user of Nexus 4 which I bought 3 days ago. Yesterday I encountered a strange problem with my Nexus which I did not have with my previous phone (Xperia Sole). A friend of mine asked me to make my Nexus a hotspot so he could connect to the internet. So what I did was to open my 3G and then use WiFi hotspot. Firstly my friend could connect to my Nexus WiFi but he couldn't access the internet although I could. Then I tried to close and re-open my 3G (without disabling hotspot) and he managed to connect to internet that way. But I couldn't from my Nexus. I never had a same issue with the Xperia. I could connect normally to the internet while using my phone as a hotspot. I was wondering if this is a normal case or should I try something else.
Using Stock Rom 4.4 KitKat and Stock Kernel.
Thanks in advance.
