Before I say anything, I've spent days trolling these forums for a solution to my problem and I've tried several to no avail.
I have 2 LG Motion 4G phones bought within the last 2 weeks. One I've upgraded to E the other came out of the box with D and has not been upgraded. They are both running on MetroPCS's $60 unlimited 4G plan which does not support the Metro HotSpot service. The lower 2.5 Gb plan with the $10 HotSpot option is not an option for me as I will cook my available bandwidth in less than a week.
Now with all of that said, I can not get either phone to tether any devices. I'm currently trying the "WiFi Tether for Root" app from the Play Store on the rooted E phone as a test subject. Tethering is extremely important to me as I am perpetualy mobile and use a mobile hotspot for my iPad, Nook, laptop and any other mobile devices I may get my hands on.
Testing on my iPad, the phone tells me the iPad connects, as does the ipad when I connect to the wifi network, but when I open safari and attempt to connect to any site the progess bar just scrolls (very slowly) until I eventually get a "Safari could not connect to this site" error page.
Does anyone out there have this working with my existing variables and can help me identify what I'm doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am desperate at this point. My wifi hotspot service from Clear ends in a week and I do not want to have to pay an additional month.
