Tethering problems!! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello guys,
First of all, sorry for my bad english.
So, I bought a Galaxy Nexus 3 months ago, and I'm really impressed with this phone, but one thing is really annoying me. When using tethering, connection fails all the time.
Let me explain better:
1-I Turn Tethering on
2-My computer detects it. I connect
3-Internet works.....for a few minutes than every website fails to load.Stays on "Sending request"
4-I have to turn wireless off and turn on again, than it works again for a few minutes and fails.....
Thanks for your help!

This app works great, you will need root.

the problem persists

Try using foxfi

have you tried multiple machines? Could the issue be your computer and not your phone?

I've been having this same problem, but I'm pretty sure it is my Mac Lion causing the problem, not the phone... If you're using a Mac, check it out. I haven't found a solution, yet. Let me know if you find something...

Im using Osx Lion too.......
But it happens both with Macbook and with windows 7

Same issue here for years on Macbook pro. Tethering works for a minute or two, then all pages fail to load and it reverts to "Sending request..." or 'This webpage is unavailable'. Highly frustrating.
I'm not sure it's Android at fault because I get the same behavior on some public WiFi hotspots, but never at home. Any ideas?

I had that problem a while back for no apparent reason and resetting the router fixed it. It was just my first instinct since I work in tech support and our first commandment is "Thou shalt reboot it." I suspect the DHCP table was full or something, but it hasn't happened since, so I haven't been motivated enough to look for the cause.
try disable the networkdata connection
then turn off wifi an turn it on again
Can you be more specific about the type of Wifi your using at your pc??? (ap,wifi card,etc?)
Reset router (virgin super hub) and all works well. Why didn't I think of that lol

Sprint SGS3 Wifi Tether closes itself...help!

Hey guys,
I am enjoying my Sprint variant Galaxy S3 a lot, but after rooting and installing the wifi tether/hotspot app, it works great, but I am having some issues and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue or if someone knew how to resolve this issue.
The issue:
While everything works just fine for a while (I am posting this thread using wifi tether) often times I see the wifi connection has dropped on my laptop and when I check my phone the wifi tether app is no longer running. I have to restart the app and everything is fine. This is getting pretty annoying as it happens very randomly! I haven't had this issue on my Epic 4g Touch at all and was just curious if maybe there was something I was missing or if perhaps others were experiencing this as well. I drop time varies a lot...sometimes I can use the connection undisturbed for 1+ hours, but other times the app closes after 10 minutes and requires a restart...its just more of an annoyance than anything as the program does work every time its restarted, but It would be nice if I could get a solid/stable connection going despite the lackluster 3g speeds.
If anyone knows a fix or could help me out, this would be much appreciated! I did a search and couldn't find any open posts about this :[
Thanks!

Edit:
Hmm... Ok It disconnects about every 15 minutes or so... I tried changing the profiles to multiple different ones (Nexus CDMA, Galaxy S2, Generic ICS) All with the same result...it disconnects and I have to click the white wifi button to restart the tethering. :/ Happened on stock rooted and I just did a full wipe and installed the Blazer ROM and seems to be the same. Thanks again if anyone has any kind of input.

Hey man...it seems like it holds on to the signal longer and when I uncheck it, it dims the screen but it doesn't fully shut off...it seems to like that and keep the connection. When I manually turn the screen off it will disconnect me again. I hope its not my phone! Its definitely better than before!
Well unfortunately, I always have my phone plugged in when running the app so the screen being on isn't a problem for me.. there are some apps out there ( i can't seem to remember the names right now ) that will try to prevent the app from being killed by android's task manager, i'd look into them... good luck

WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on TORO(others?) ( 4.2+ (and xbox)

Has anyone successfully tethered their VZW Gnex using native tether option (on any rom)?
I can get any other device ro connext and user the hotspot i create. But when i connect my xbox to the wifi hotspot the xbox tells me it cannot obtain IP address.
I've tried a ton of ways to fix this, even manually setting the IP the xbox looks for and such. But still no go.
If i go back to any 4.1 rom I'm able to connect to xbox and user my lte tether with no issues.
Anyone with a similar experience or fix to this? I've been trying to figure it out ever since 4.2 dropped and thought I'd finally see what my fellow forum users have to say on this subject
Thanks in advance for everything guys!
Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Quick bump
Sorry
I usually don't bump. I just been going nuts trying To see if it's only me having the problem
Any tips besides the basic stuff to fix an issue with tether? (To xbox360)
I can't get tethering to work on any 4.2.* ROM. Native or the WiFi Tethering app.
Since this is an absolutely critical feature for me, it looks like I'll never be upgrading.
I would seriously like an answer to this as well. I was going to make another thread here asking about the same thing because it seems that w/e rom I used that's based off of 4.1.w/e allows me to use my wifi hotspot just fine. I know it's not any of the devices receiving the signals problem because they were working just fine before I updated my g-nex to 4.2.1 or 4.2.2. Seriously....I've reached out and I get no answers. I don't want to go back to older versions because I shouldn't have too. I've used almost all different kinds of wifi apps like foxfi and others, but foxfi force closes, and all the others just don't work. I really need this feature to work! Any ideas?.....anybody?
Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Thanks guys
I KNEW i wasn't alone
The error i get on xbox is it cant obtain ip address
When i look under settings about phone ever since 4.2 it always says ip address unavailable.
I was hoping we could collaborate at least a workaround by "spoofing" an ip and then manually setting it on the xbox. Unless we can stumble across a true fix to why this has started happening
Thanks for the input, lets me know I'm not going completely insane yet hahah
Thats weird. I have used my phone to tether my tablet, PS3 and my work computer. Hearing people say it doesn't work for them is surprising. I'm running the CM10.1 nightlies and using the native wifi tethering.
EDIT: I just realized you guys were mainly talking about the Xbox. lol, oops
Re: WIFI HOTSPOT ISSUE on 4.2+ (and xbox)
Yea that's the thing
I can tether to ANYTHING else just fine.
In fact i just tethered to my tablet and my computer.
The only thing that i get the Ip cant be obtained issue on is when trying Ti straight hotspot tether to the xbox itself.

You are not alone my friend. This is preventing me from updating. I'm following another thread where they found a fix for the Wi-Fi tether for root users to work properly on 4.2.2, but I have not received confirmation on if it also fixes and allows the Xbox to work again. I'm tempted to just try it myself and see what happens.... but haven't as of yet.
Edit: This is that thread.

I decided it was time. I made a backup. Flashed BB8, and just to be sure, I tried the native tethering. Didn't work. Then I tried this apk the guy modified for WiFi tether for root users. I tried absolutely ever different combination possible in settings, and still the Xbox would not work.
This guy reprogrammed that app, so now I'm going to try getting ahold of him to see if he can specifically look into the Xbox issue. Who knows. Maybe he is a miracle worker.
For now, I'm already back to BB6 4.1.2.

I do it all the time. On the Xbox internet connection screen try to delete the connect and try from scratch. I'm using XenonHD 8.0 works like a charm.
Have you ever been able to connect before?

I'm on 4.2.2 right now and I get an ip address with tethering on. You were saying it's unavailable under about phone -> status right? Works for me. Maybe it's the hostapd binary in stock. Try the one from my 3.3 kernel or later. Sorry my xbox has no wifi.

XenonHD 8 is 4.2.2 right? And you are saying you tether to your Xbox no problem? Does that ROM have those updated binaries tat released a short time back? Maybe ash will try it this time...

Sorry my last reply was a bit incoherent
Alcohol is all I gotta say bout that...
And sorry tiny I haven't tried yours yet.
Tonight will most likely be the night I get down and dirty and try a few of these "fixes"
Also, can I get a link to the thread mentioned about getting tethering working that was posted above so I can scan thru it? Thank you!!!

Which thing are you talking about specifically? I tried all the "fixes," except for trying the actual XenonHD 8 ROM. Try that and let me know your results!

So, since you are some what blowing my mind, I just want to be doubly sure here.
You are on that ROM, and you can activate the native tethering feature on your Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro), turn on your Xbox, connect it wirelessly to your phone, and successfully connect to Xbox live and play online?
That's all true and you aren't just messing with me?

[Q] sgh t999 wifi issues

Hello everyone,
I have a sgh t999 that receive but not send over WiFi,to explain if using a tethering app the connected device work over 4g but when connecting to a WiFi it seems that its not doing the handshake it said connecting but immediately stop and it gives an error like if the password is incorrect but it ain't,cleared the router,left it open, flashed several times, did every wipe imaginable and modem as well but still doesn't work.
Any help or ideas?
Use the phone by itself without any kind of tethering. See if you can use a browser on the phone. If that works then you will have to diagnose Tether by itself.
I'd Start with setting Wi-fi encryption to open.
Already did, backtrace it to the hardware somehow it got fuzed to the back casing it seems that it overheated and got welded..weird but thanks anyways. I guess my WiFi is done for.
