As it appears, I have successfully connected my PS4 onto my phone with no trouble. All you have to do is accept it on the Access Control log. Hope that helps! I'm not too sure about the PS3, but I think they use the same protocol.

Help LG l9 Metro pcs Does anyone know how to bypass the stock 4g mobile hotspot so I can use this phone as a hotspot on the unlimited data plan. I can tether it to my computer using pdanet but I can't use the hotspot because that 4G mobile hotspot pops up

That method almost worked on my LG l9 for MetroPCS do you know any way I can use this phone for a hotspot instead of the USB tether

Anyway that the WiFi app doesn't take ages to accept a device. I know on the computer it's take a very long time for it to connect is there a way to speed it up for the ps4? Cause after 15 seconds it says it did not connect in time. I've done everything it says here and still doesn't connect. help would be very appreciated

Dude it worked but... git the metro hotspot thing. Lol man so close!

I found a way to get past that.

You need to use a vpn on your phone and it will bypass the metropcs block page.

I think most of the vpns in the Google Play store should work.

Surfeasy vpn seems to work for me.

When I connect my laptop to my phone that is running the vpn, I can browse websites on my laptop as I would normally. However, I don't know if that will work on a ps3 sorry. I don't have a ps3.

What I did was basically:

1. FIRST Start the (surfeasy) vpn.
- This is a running app on my phone.

2. Start the wifi tether.
-Wifi encryption is off because it doesnt work.

3. Go to Android Tuner and use the task manager to kill the "system/bin/hostapd" process.

4. Connect my Laptop to my phone's wifi.

5. Go back to the wifi tether app on my phone and go into the "access control" panel.

6. Check my laptop on the list of authorized devices and press apply.

Basically, that's how I set up my tethering.

I had to fiddle around with my settings when i first set up the tethering, but my tether settings are:

-Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
-Setup Method: Auto
-Send Netd Max Client Cmd: CHECKED
-Enable Wifi-Encryption: NOT CHECKED
-Wireless Frequency Channel: 10 (I dont think the channel choice matters though)
-Mac Address Spoof: NOT CHECKED
-Don't Disable Bluetooth: NOT CHECKED
-I use Wifi-driver reload 2
-Enable Access Control: CHECKED
-Keep Alive- Connection... : NOT CHECKED
-Shutdown Timer: NOT CHECKED
-Idle Shutdown: NOT CHECKED
-Quota Shutdown Limit: NOT CHECKED
-Change LAN: 172.20.22.0/24
-MSS Clamping & Routing fix: BOTH CHECKED
-Preferred DNS: 8.8.8.8
-Alternate DNS: 8.8.4.4
-Client Notification: All Clients
- Vibrate On Connect: CHECKED
-Disable Update-Check: NOT CHECKED
-Disable Wake-Lock: CHECKED
-Battery Temperature: Celsius (This option doesnt matter.)

ALSO, This setup didn't work for me at the beginning because I kept getting an AP MaxClient failure or something like that.

However, I managed to fix that by going into SuperSU and revoking the superuser access for Wifi Tether.

After doing that, I ran Wifi Tether again and regranted superuser access and it all worked.

Found the way. Like one of us said use a VPN. I used one called Reindeer. It says it is free for 2 days and with the two days I've used it spectacular. I will buy it. I am able to use the ps4 laptop and other android phones can connect to it as well. You gotta first then on the reindeer VPN, then the WiFi Tether after that you need to have android tuner then go to task manager and kill hostapd. Once you do that all the products will connect fast and no problems will occur. Played Fifa and need for speed online and downloaded 4 games of the store with size ranting 1-5 gigs.

Used ur guide for mpcs f3. Worked great!

Reindeer vpn is working great now. I was having problems with other vpn apps but then someone suggested reindeer vpn and now tethering works on all my devices. I also noticed that some apps i use werent working well like manga searcher but when running the reindeer vpn the app works great

Man reindeer is great. CrossVPN is good too when the reindeer train ends.

Im still using it as we speak but its still my second day if i can use it all day tomorrow then yea but u can try i when it asks me to test the servers theres a free one its slow but free

I tried something and it worked. I started the reindeer and connected the ps4 then switched the reindeer off and I was able to watch Netflix with no issues

Is there some other app that would allow one to set up a wifi-encryption?
I don't like to have my wifi tether open for anyone to connect.

I know that we can use the access-control to allow or restrict internet access on some devices, but I still don't feel secure using an open network.

You can put a key on WiFi Tether as well it's right there. Refer to the Pic

I just bought this phone and rooted it...Used this guide here for the wi fi tether and WOO HOO...Works flawlessly... Thank you for posting :beer:

Havent checked this site in a while. but just saw your post and thank you!! i got it to work too

Just to let everyone know...

If you use a VPN service on your home computer while connected via the tether, you do not have to change your user agent. This helps out with applications that have a web browser component to them but no ability to change the user agent "I.E. Steam, and the Launcher for Star Trek Online".

I have even been able to game on the VPN connection via the LTE tether as well. The VPN service I am using is from Private Internet Access. Shockingly my pings in online games have been at times better then people with real internet such as landline internet connections.
