**SOLVED** ad hoc wifi tethering problems

It works flawlessly with my LG Connect. I suspect that it is more an issue with your phone than the Nexus. You might try re-posting in your phone's board. Some hotspot apps work better with certain phones.

 

I don't have a problem with my Galaxy Note LTE once I activate the hotspot.
Both my N7 and BB Playbook can detect and connect to it automatically once it's set up.

 

What app are you using to tether? I use the built in wifi hotspot with my GNex and it works just fine.

 

That is what I mainly use because it seems the most reliable on my Connect, but the stock wifi tether also works.

 

I use an LG Marquee to tether my N7 with the built-in tethering app, though to make that work, I have to access the LG hidden menu and set extend modem to no...

 

As a matter-of-fact, I just happen to have authored a thread on this very subject for the Marquee

Things might be a little different in your phone, but not by much. LG is pretty good at sticking to the same methods for their various devices.

Hope this helps

 

Somewhere in your hidden menu should be either "DUN NAI" or "Extend Modem". Set this option to "No".

There's also something I read somewhere about setting something like ro.properties.tether.deny to "false" in build.prop.. It's in that thread I linked you to. That build.prop mod together with the WiFi tether app should get you into infrastructure mode

 

Add the following line to /system/build.prop


ro.tether.deny=false

And then install "hotspot widget". If that doesn't work, try the latest beta of wireless tether for root users from code.Google.com

 

Iunno, then. The best I can say is try all the hidden menus until you find the one that has Data Settings in it. They're two different phones, but they're both LG so they should be relatively similar internally

 

Glad you got it working, man
