Hotspot tethering not working - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on 24.12.16 build of nitrogen rom with flash kernel 4.2. I have been facing this issue since upgrading to 7.1.1 the issue was not in 7.0. For some reasons Hotspot tethering is not working ie when I try to receive file via apps like xender or shareit I can't receive as the other person can't connect to the Hotspot. It's been really frustrating I tried to Google but can't find anything. So please if anyone help me.
PS I have done clean install.

[Q] Fresh Evo 4.0 Beta 4 (4.0.0.4) Tethering Broke

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.

[Q] Wifi Hotspot and Tether

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?

WiFi tethering on nexus 7 3g kot49h KitKat 4.4.2

Dear all,
I followed most instructions from XDA developers and succeeded in rooting and also installed twrp and super su. But unfortunately none of posts worked for me in re enabling tethering. In my windows phone it is a very basic feature they offer. Some apps like foxfi, tetherfix, etc.. Claim to solve the problem but not working. Foxfi is working OK in USB tethering. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please note I'm using airtel connection.
You could use EasyTether , its much easier and has a better connection abilities as well . I used to use FoxiFi but I had enough of it , it was just too slow ..

VPN not working on the latest April security update

Hi fellow xda mates,
I have updated the 6P with April updates.
But any of the VPN services are not working
Whenever I start the service it shows
unfortunately, vpndialogs.apk has stopped working.
I tried every possible way to fix this but nothing worked.
Like wipe cache and dalvik, clean flashed.
Tried with xposed
Please help me to fix this.
And second problem is Google services and Android OS drains the battery more than anything and it's too much for it. Felt very bad about this problems.
Can any of you help me out to fix these problems.
Thanks.

Anyone?
Without the proper basic troubleshooting there is nothing anyone will be able to tell you. Do your homework and then post the proper info
I had this issue with OpenVPN not working, and assumed it was because the patch changed something, however after a reboot and patiently waiting it started working.
You will need to let us know what VPN client you are using and other information as zelendel has stated.

Hello,
I'm not sure it will help, but check this:
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7308447?hl=en
This part: Let your other devices find your phone's mobile connection
Should also work for the N6P...
Good luck...
I think you mean tethering. Not theatering.
Its probably not the 6p, I've used it and you have to setup then go into the settings for the connection
what i try till now is these probebly it will called mobile hotspot, these isn't found by other devices, so here i need to find where is the problems?

It's working, may it's the rom you're using.
I'm on dark rom, no issues to connect my Nexus 7.
Edit: if you don't want to change the rom, you can tether with bluetooth

If you root with magisk there's an tethering enabler module, I'm not sure if it's made for your issue, but u can try. Otherwise
as I told you dark rom runs fantastic. I'm running dark with ElementalX kernel a bit underclocked and DNA infected theme, rooted with magisk. Gives me a great performance/battery experience with my 6p. Everything works absolutely great. Give it a try, if everything else fails.
Hello
i did root with twrp + flashfire , the main thing i want is stock rom and root, so the suggestion isn't so good for me, need to fix these somehow or to know what cause it?
