Sorry to bring this post back from hibernation. Is it still working for you?
I have the Pixel 2 XL, latest pdanet+ and foxfi key and pdanet on my phone. I was able to get wifi direct working on my previous phone, an s3 (running nougat).
Thus far I have only been able to get tethering to work on the Pixel 2, but when I run wifi direct my computer and the PDAnet program doesn't see the broadcast ID of the Pixel 2 whatsoever. A pop up box during wifi direct search said my wireless nic may not see 5g networks. Strangely enough my old s3 was able to connect through wifi direct from the Pixel 2 with ease. Later on, I am going to test it on my home network and laptop and see if my problem is with the nic (more specifically it's a wireless usb adapter) on this computer.
Update:
It was indeed a problem with the wifi adapter I was using. The second I switched to a 2.4/5 capable it found it.
Works great for anyone who needs a workaround with out rooting.

Just found out how easy it is to tether my mobile phone to my tablet using the 3g network. Previously looked at lots of tethering apps on android play but none are needed (nor worked). Finally found an Acer Oceanic movie on UTube showing how easy it is. So, no USB cable needed nor tethering app - its all there already on your Android phone and your A500. Now I can use the Internet anywhere I want providing there's a 3G signal. The method used is to create a local hotspot which you then connect to, and the download signal gives 3 bars. Great !!
Yeah through Android it works great... The reason for the apps is unfortunately many carriers (especially in the US) lock out that feature on the phones to try and charge people to activate it. Any way to make an extra buck!
I just run FoxFi on my phone and that gives me a free wifi hotspot which I can access with my tablet. 3G, 4G, whatever I'm on, it works.
easy tethering
OK and thanks for that. I tried your method and while it did function OK compared with the method I used the download speed was very slow.
I have the hotspot option on my Motorola Atrix...... works VERY well...
Hi,
I Shared this software was i found because I think it is very useful if you dont have a Wifi USB card.
PdaNet+ is one of the top Android applications of all time. PdaNet+ shares the Internet access of your Android phone with your computer or tablet. PdaNet+ works on all Android phones without rooting. It also does not require a tether plan, that will save you $20/month from most carriers.
PdaNet+ now bundles both PdaNet and FoxFi to give you supports of WiFi hotspot in addition to USB Tether and Bluetooth DUN. In USB mode it is capable of handling download speed of well above 35Mbps (35000kbps) and is the fastest tethering software available for Android.
Website :ht tp :/ / junefabrics. com /android/ delete spaces... my first post sry.
How to?
1 Install Program and follow setup steps.
2 When installation finished automatically the setup install the PDAnet app in your phone.
3 Now open PDAnet app and check Activate USB Tethe is marked.

PD: You can download the full version program for example in: piratebay.se, simply search "pdanet" in browser
Good one
its a good one...will be useful for some one...........but i think no one have visited this post
Has anyone tried using FoxFi for wireless tethering on the Turbo 2? I'm considering getting the phone since I can do so and keep my unlimited data, but I rely on the mobile hotspot for my Internet at home. I know I can switch between my current rooted S4 and the Turbo 2, but really rather be able to use the paid version of FoxFi on the until root is achieved. I've tried the free version of FoxFi and it works fine, it just has a 500 MB limit per use before it disconnects. I like the look of the Turbo 2 and think it'd be a great phone to have. Any information that can be provided would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Oh, and for those who've every used a recent Samsung phone and miss the dual window thing, there's a cool app in the store called SideControl that provides dual window function with the use of another app called xHaloFloatingWindow you can either find in the XDA forums or download through the Xposed app.
It won't work
OP. You're saying that FoxFi works on your non-rooted, completely stock Lollipop Turbo 2? What firmware version are you on?
I loveD using the app in the past, but ever since KitKat it has been blocked on Motorola phones as far as I know. Would be awfully nice if it was usable again.
I don't have the phone, I was just considering it.
You can use USB tether and then from the computer in pdanet there's an option for WiFi tether where you can make your own WiFi name and password. It worked on the original Turbo, but sometimes it would have issues connecting to other devices. I tried it on the turbo 2, but I think there was an issue with it working.
The was my old post in the OG Turbo section

I have found a way to use WiFi tether, but you need a few things.
1. FoxFi/PDANet
2. Laptop
3. Micro-USB cable
4. Phone
There is a work around for Wi-Fi tether though using FoxFi/PDANet. It requires a laptop though. When you use USB mode, connect it to your laptop and then when you right click the pdanet icon again there's an option that say "WI-FI share". Click on that and then it'll give you an option to set up a router name and password. I don't know if only certain laptops are capable of this, but I have a Dell 15R and it works just fine. At least then I can connect to my tablet and old s4 that way.
Your phone will need to be connected to your laptop the whole time, but at least you'll be able to connect to multiple devices at the same time.

WIFI TETHER for Sprint S7 Sorry for typo
I am on a Sprint S7 G930PVPS4APK1 ANDORID VERSION 6.0.1. I live in the sticks and wifi tether is the only way I can get high speed for home. The quick reboot method no longer works. I have rooted other phones, but am no expert, and hesitate to try rooting my S7. Can't afford the ins if I brick it.
I have found From lots of reading (thanks to many) that using PDAnet+ alows me to use USB tethering to a laptop. The lap top will then work as a WIFI hotspot with what seems like reasonable speed. I was able to use the wifi on a tablet and stream Netflix, which is what I really want. Works great. It will be worth the $8 bucks to unlock PDAnet for unlimited data. So this works as Jan 2017 for free wifi hotspot.. I have seen no other recent references to this. i should mention i have unlimited data so have not
I do have a question While the WIfi hotspot from the tethered laptop works great, I can not seem to get my Chrome cast to connect to it. I really need this. It satys problem connecting to wifi router. I can't figure out why. The only clue? I constantly get a pop up on the laptop saying intel intelligent wifi is disabled while app running? any ideas would be very helpful TIA
Apologies if this is already known, but I couldn't find anything on it when searching.
Many years ago I bought the paid version of FoxFi when I had my Razr before root options were available. On a whim, I installed it to see if the USB tethering would work with PdaNet. Not only did I find that USB tethering works, but WiFi direct also works under the PdaNet options. I know this isn't a totally free option (I think the free version of FoxFi either limits total data and/or turns off intermittently), but it does work very well. You can also download PdaNet for your computer from your phone and transfer it via USB cable - so you can still make this work if you have no other internet connection than your phone. Hope this helps.

I also have the paid version and have been trying to get it to work with my Firestick with no luck... I looked for a tutorial on how to set it up but couldn't find one. I tried WPS and inputting the password manually. What did your successfully connect to?

PdaNet seems to have to be installed on the client device. In my case a computer. PDANet can be downloaded from PDANet.co (not .com). To my knowledge PdaNet only works on Mac, Windows, and Android - so a TV (if that's what you're using) may not work. I am currently posting this from my computer using PdaNet + FoxFi as it's the only internet connection I have available during the week.
I didn't have any luck with the WPS - not sure where the issue is/was, but entering the password in manually has been very trouble free. I can watch Netflix and Youtube without issue, but Twitch seems to have some issues. I haven't tried gaming yet (though the connection was good enough to get my games updated) - but hope to soon.

Cool, yes, I got it working on a windows computer, but wasn't able to get it to work on the Firestick streaming device. Not a TV.
Can you use Wi-Fi Direct to your PC and then use the WiFi share function to your firestick?
If you have Windows 10 on your PC you can usb tether (or wifi direct) the computer to your phones internet, then use the windows 10 mobile hotspot option to broadcast the signal to your other devices. I have my firestick hooked up with this setup, and my Xbox 1 too.
---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------
If you don't have Windows 10 you can tether your PC, then go to network and sharing center, click on change adapter settings, then right click the tethered connection with internet, hit properties, then the sharing tab, click the box on that says "allow other network users blah blah blah", then select the other connection that you wish to have internet. Before I started using Windows 10 this is how I would hook up my Xbox 1 through the Ethernet connection via PDANET+ usb tether. Works perfectly.
So I noticed it doesn't work on the Sticks. But it does work on the Pendant and Cube. The latter devices show a VPN prompt on the first time. I think that may have something to do with it.
