I used to be on Slimbean 4.3 and was able to hotspot using Foxfi and tether my Nexus 7. Now I'm on stock rooted 4.4, and it takes me to the Tmobile page on my N7 when I try to use the hotspot. Is there any way to fix this?

I'm running the Fresh Evo 4.0 Beta 4 (4.0.0.4). I can't seem to get wifi tethering to work. The app starts and recognizes my devices. I can use access control and authorize but no dice. Any recommendations?

Go download the newest wifi tether app.

That fixed it for me.

That was the version in the Fresh rom. I downgraded to 2.0.7 from 3.0-pre13 and wifi tethering works again. Thanks for your reply.

Just recently bought a Asus Nexus 7 and I find it an awesome device.
Unfortunately, I was surprised to see there is no option to turn my device into a wifi hotspot
or to share my nexus internet through USB to other computers.
thus I am now looking for apps that can help me achieve this
and would greatly appreciate anyone who has any recommendation for me..
p.s :- I tried wifi Hotspot and Foxfi (free version for both) but I can get neither computers no other mobile phones
to connect to the wifi hotspot they created through my nexus
Thank you.
Easy tether will let you share the internet with a computer using usb.

Easy tether.. got it..will try it out...
anyone else knows of a good one to use to wifi hotspot instead of usb?
no other apps?
Barnacle? Open garden? Pdanet? Foxfi? Easy tether?
I'm sorry..
my nexus 7 is running stock ROM..
it seems that with stock, the wifi hotspot is "blocked" or crippled or whatever..
now wonder when I used wifi hotspot of Foxfi, other devices can see my wifi but unable to access it..
I may need to root my N7, but I have never done rooting before and is a bit apprehensive in doing so..
trying to look up the easiest to understand guide as to how to root my n7 now..
additional info :- I am running android 4.2.2 and my N& build is jdq39
if anyone can point me to a guide to root my N7 with a little more ease, please do..
Thanks..
ok, i just saw this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150661
can anyone help confirm that this root ROM has the function to let me wifi hotspot with my nexus 7?
Also, if I were to successfully root.. am I able to return this to stock ROM if ever I feel the Root not to my liking?
I have looked around everywhere, I can not figure out how to get the Hotspot to work on my Razr? Why is it such an issue on the Razrs? Is there a fail safe way to enable the hotspot ability?
You mean WiFi tethering? Does the same app work on other ROMs for you?
Did you update SU?

Need root explorer & SQLlite . Mine works fine w/o hack on reg vz plans but economy plans need it.
I've been rooted for a while now under 4.3. I just updated to NC2 ( the leaked KitKat) and then flashed NC4 recovery and modem. I have been using both FoxFi and WiFi Tether (with root) because I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan.
I started up FoxFi to test it, but as usual you have install a private cert and that requires you put in a lock screen PIN or password (pattern no longer an option).
So after testing FoxFi...it works fine, I deleted that cert and removed the PIN lock screen....back to just a swipe.
Well...trying FoxFi again, it wants to reinstall that key...this time I said NO and backed out.
Being someone who likes to tinker with crap....I tried just turning on the native hotspot app. IT WORKS FINE!
That's right...IT STILL WORKS without FoxFi loaded. I am not going to totally remove FoxFi (yet) but strongly suspect it is no longer needed.
Again....this is on rooted NC2 leak but with NC4 modem flashed.

That's because the leaked n2 already had the tethering provisions included.

You never know when you might need the Bluetooth tether. I kept mine for situations like this.

I am running the leaked NC2 rom that I installed using the instructions on this site. FoxFi does work, but only with the cert installed.
Also, just activating the mobile hotspot doesn't work for me. Still checks subscription status and fails.

You need to install Deoxed version of NC2
