I own a Samsung S4 branded on Vodafone ES. I used to tether my internet connection both on my PC, via an USB cable and on the laptop via WiFi Hotspot.
A couple of weeks ago I updated to 4.4.2 and since then I'm having trouble using tethering. If I create a WiFi hotspot my laptop connects but I get limited connectivity and if I use the USB cable I get internet for about 5 minutes and then I don't have any traffic between the phone and the PC. All this while the internet on the phone works fine.
I`m sure Vodafone isn't blocking my tethering because my girlfriend has an S3, also on Vodafone, and the tethering works fine on hers.
I guess the problem came with the 4.4.2 install. I tried various programs like PDANet and a couple of others but I get the same results

I have had intermittant problems with tethering my laptop via an 8525 since the release of the att2.15 rom. sometimes it would work correctly, sometimes intermittantly, sometimes not at all. After trying numerous combinations of proxies on and off, and various connection settings, I have finaly isolated what i believe to be the problem. When my wifi adaptor is turned on, IE on the laptop appears to prefer to connect to the internet via wifi instead of the usb connection to my hermes device. I do not have an internet connection on the wifi router/hub at my home. Is there a simple explanation for this that one of you network gurus could educate me with? Does anyone else experience this?
There is no broadband access at my residence (rural area) other than satellite or cellular. The wireless router is functioning only as a network for several computers and printers at my home. It is a hassle to lose my tethering connection every time i need to access wifi to print, or get data from another machine.
Any info would be appreciated.
I attached poll because i wondered how often people are using this functionality.
mthomas,
I just flashed up to the 2.15 ROM last night. Internet Sharing would never stay running on my laptop. I had my wireless card active on the laptop as well. It worked fine before I updated the ROM.
Edit:
I turned off my wifi card and still have the problem. After a few minutes of internet sharing, my laptop cannot recognize the the phone.
I've had my SGSII for a couple of weeks now and it has been connecting via WiFi to the internet without any major problems until now.
My WiFi problems are as follows:
1) At the moment it connects and I can use KiesAir fine, but it will not connect to the internet. This has happened a couple of times before, but a router and/or SGSII reboot had fixed the problem in the past, but not any more.
I'm connecting via a DPQ3925 cable router.
2) AllShare does not see my DLNA network devices when connected via DPQ3925, but Internet worked fine (until problem #1)
3) When I use my DGL-4300 router (which sits behind the DPQ3925), AllShare sees my DLNA network devices and works fine, but it can not access the internet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, so I am looking at different options for reducing my bills and one of them is to get rid of the Verizon FIOS and replace it with the T-mobile service I am already paying for by replacing one of the lines with a mobile hotspot.
I have the Magicjack phone service now and it works fine however it requires an ethernet connection to the internet. I currently have it plugged into a Hub which is connected to the FIOS router. If I lose the router how would I be able to pickup the internet signal from the hotspot and get it to the ethernet connection of the magicjack???
(without plugging it into a computer which would require leaving the computer on all the time)
Hi,
I*m running PACrom/stock kernel and I'm trying to make the following work to no avail yet:
I want to share the Internet connection I get on my N7 WiFi wirelessly from the router to my desktop PC via WiFi, Bluetooth or USB.
Although there are lots and lots of different apps regarding tethering/connection sharing on the Playstore, none has worked for me yet.
I tried FoxFi, Wireless Tether and so on, but nothing works. Either the app complains about the N7 being in an "unknown mode" and therefore refuses to work, or I can establish a connection between the device and my PC, but it stops at some poin, not getting an IP adress or similar issues.
Searching for solutions online mostly brings up this issue in regards to an Internet connection established via mobile 3/4G data, which doesn't help me at all.
Basically, my question is whether there's a solution which lets my share my Wi-Fi Internet connection on my Nexus 7 to my desktop PC, I don't care if its via WiFi ( would be my preference, but I don't even know if its possible to create a HotSpot on the N7 my desktop can access while still being connected to the other, Internet providing WiFi connection) Bluetooth or USB, whatever works is fine by me.
Would love to get some helpful advice/successful storys from you guys
Have you tried Proxoid? It's http only, basically a port 80 proxy that passes the http traffic over the phone's data connection via USB cable... I've used it on my Galaxy S3, but haven't tried to use it through the Nexus 7's wifi...

I am with stock Samsung Lollipop from Rogers. I need to use reverse bluetooth tethering so that my phone can share the internet with my laptop.
However I don't see bluetooth tethering in Tethering and Mobile hot spot.
How can I enable it?
I don't want to use wifi or USB for some reasons, I have to use bluetooth.
Thanks
