can't get it to work right

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. LTE is limited. but I checked my connection and I get 3G from eHRPD. My two laptops connect, but I can't get to the internet. Any idea why?
[Sprint LG G2] kevinhack:
Charges?

Does this incur any charges? or is this a workaround.
[Sprint LG G2] badkarmah187:
works!

I followed the advice of [MENTION=401503]blahzace[/MENTION]. He suggested updating the PRL and the profile. I already had the latest PRL version so maybe updating the profile did the trick!

seems to work now on 3G over eHRPD.
[Sprint LG G2] o0adam0o:
Mine does the same thing.. While on 3G, I can connect but get no Internet on my laptop . But if my phone is showing 4G connection... I can tether fine.

Sucks cuz i dont get 4G at home.. Only at work.
[Sprint LG G2] MANDROIDS:
Is there any more development going on so that we don't have to reboot the phone each time?
[Sprint LG G2] alldayer:
Works like a champ

I have 2 LG-G2's using the ODEX OS and native hotspot. They both work tether, except one phone, after toggling tether on/off, the connected devices can not access internet again and phone must be rebooted. The other phone works tether ALL THE TIME. Both have working GPS! Freaking love this mod!!
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
When Spark update comes I'll attempt a few more tweaks that'll hopefully remedy the issue we're having. Spark update is any day now and it'll be V9.

[Sprint LG G2] badkarmah187:
broke for a while

For some reason, it stopped working. I rebooted a few time, tried to update the PRL and the profile again to no avail.

I fixed it by re-flashing this mod.

I will see how well it works. Haven't been able to reliability get this working.
[Sprint LG G2] badkarmah187:
A quick update. I tried it again this morning. I'm at the same location. It didn't work until I rebooted my phone. Seems to work now.
[Sprint LG G2] austin9009:
Flashed with no issue. Turns on the hotspot and broadcasts the SSID and I can connect devices without issue as well. The problem I'm encountering though is that it's insanely slow on for the connected devices. Ideas?

Thank you so much for your hard work creating this!!!
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
What are your speeds on the phone vs laptop/PC?

[Sprint LG G2] Skoomo:
for the people who can't get the hotspot to work with stock rom odexed v8 ls980 this is what i did to get it to work....follow all the steps then after you boot up. update prl/profile then go back into recovery and this time just flash the mod with no wipe then boot back up and update prl. it wouldn't let me update my profile this time but it works so w/e :D also i don't see why u would install the mod then do the wipe.

idk if this means anything but after i flashed the mod it will say in the same window wipe cache/dav. if i do it right from that window my phone will do the wipe but after about a min my screen will go black and i can't do anything with it for about 3-5min. then it boots back up.... but if i do the wipe/dav on the main screen of twrp or w/e its called it will do its thing but this time it takes like 5-7min then it goes back to twrp screen. so idk if thats messing people up or what.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

one more thing.... THANK YOU! :D o and idk why but i can use hotspot with 1x speeds also i though it was lte and eharp only. i'm going to try out Ev-DO later today to see what happens.
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
What version of TWRP are you running? Make sure you are using TWRP 2.6.3.3 and not 2.6.3.2. TWRP 2.6.3.2 has a known issue where wiping cache takes an extremely long time. TWRP 2.6.3.3 fixes this issue.
[Sprint LG G2] souleman:
You have to go into settings in TWRP and click the check box to use rm -rf instead of format.
[Sprint LG G2] Skoomo:
Thxfor the reply both of you! I reinstalled twrp to 3.3 and went into setting and clicked on rm rf. Now hotspot is working a lot better i dont have to install the mod on every reboot now. I did the wipe cach/dav and it only takes 1 sec now thats hell of a a lot better then 5mins .lol maybe my hotspot will stil work with evdo and 1x

Question. My unlimited plan comes with a 5g hotspot. My old plan never had that i want my unlimited data to use my hotspot but it says under data usage that i used 300mb of my hotspot data. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
That is the workaround if you had TWRP 2.6.3.2 to speed up wipe cache. However in 2.6.3.3, you no longer have to check the box to wipe cache.
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
Can you grab a screen shot of where it shows that data use? I have checked online and it doesn't show any "hotspot" data use. Not sure how you plan having it included can differentiate between the two but that's interesting.
[Sprint LG G2] Skoomo:
here
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
Interesting... well, no hotspot data used here. Also, the fact that you have it in your plan may make it so that your phone actually does tether in EV-DO 3G coverage and that may be where you are picking up the data usage from. It also could just be the reason you are having trouble getting the mod to work as you already "actually" have it built into your plan. I see what you are saying about wanting the hotspot to come out of the unlimited but man, 5gig is a bunch of data to burn through and you're already paying for it. :)

Thanks for sharing :good:
[Sprint LG G2] Skoomo:
been on sprint for 3 years terminated 5 times for roaming so i have a few phones for back up lol...seems like every 3 months they cut me off. just stated back up about 2 weeks ago and they have the 5g hot spot for the new plan and you HAVE to take it for the plan.:( but this time im not going to roam unless i go back to my galaxy s3 with the trev tether mod... i think u can only get it if you start a new contract.the sad part is it says my phone is not compatible for hot spot and it came with no hot spot or any sprint apps. i had to update my profile in a eharp location to get my phone to update so the hotspot shows up in my settings

5gb is nothing when my gf loves to game online all the time.... damn you Neverwinter!
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
YIKES! Sounds like girlfriend needs her own phone and plan. Lol
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
The mod just removes the check to see if your account is entitled for the hotspot. The way your account is set up has Sprint keeping track of your hotspot usage so you don't abuse it.

Well usb tether works with unlimited data with easy tether app. So maybe if i can find a hotspot app thats not built in it will work
[Sprint LG G2] daveo24:
Will this work with cm 10.2?
[Sprint LG G2] gtabletguy:
This works perfectly with Stock rooted V8. Copied both files, changed permissions and rebooted. And works great on 4G.
[Sprint LG G2] daveo24:
Well I ain't know that's why I asked.....
[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
and I is know so I answered.... ;)
[Sprint LG G2] souleman:
CM has tether built in, so no need for something like this.
[Sprint LG G2] tony4681:
Stupid question :laugh:

Is there any difference in using the native hotspot app compare to the android-wifi-tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) ?
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Yes huge difference. The Android wifi-tether app doesn't work with the LG G2.
[Sprint LG G2] tony4681:
thanks :good:
[Sprint LG G2] aneyboy:
I can't get the hotspot to work my laptop says no connection an tablet is stuck on obtaining ip address
[Sprint LG G2] Deftpwnz:
Not sure what you're talking about. I work for Sprint and the Hot Spot is still a $10 1GB add-on.

It's the Unlimited, My Way plan. You might be talking about the "All-In" plan which isn't mandatory.
[Sprint LG G2] Utahnewbie:
After I flashed 2.6.3.2 with the app, it works, then I flash 2.6.3.3 in the TWRP recovery, it says "can not flash the zip file" or something like this.. I downloaded 2.6.3.3 for several times and tried, still doesn't work.

Then I flashed the Hotspot in this post, started a WiFi share in my stock Android system, my computer and connect to the wifi but still says has no Internet connection.

Any one can help？ Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
Which ROM are you running?

Sent from my LG-LS980
[Sprint LG G2] Utahnewbie:
The stock Sprint G2 ROM with the OTA update.
[Sprint LG G2] badkarmah187:
Works for me

I went on a road trip this past weekend from the Bay Area to Reno, NV. The hotspot worked for most of the ride up. My son was connected to it and playing Clash of Clans most of the way up to Reno. The signal was mostly eHRPD until we got into Reno. There were patches of LTE signal throughout the city. I used SignalCheck Lite to see what I was getting. We got disconnected a few times going up there, but this is expected in remote areas.

I did have to reboot a few times because the hotspot failed to connect, but it was solid overall.
[Sprint LG G2] aneyboy:
Hot spot use to work then it stopped
[Sprint LG G2] daveo24:
Yeah u figured it would thanks tho.
[Sprint LG G2] skoomo1:
i'm on the all-in plan. no other options other then the cheaper plans. maybe i don't get the option because it says i have a limit of 150$ max a month because of my crappy credit? because the my way plan is for people who want to add more then 1 line and i can't do that because my credit sucks.tell me if im wrong because if i am i'm going to change my plan to the -my way plan-.thx
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Will the native hotspot mod need to be updated to support the ZVA firmware update?
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
You can flash it and see if it works but I don't think it will. This mod didn't work on v7 firmware.

Backup Services.jar prior to flashing it if you attempt it.

Crap. I wonder if Metalboy will be able to help us with this. Unless the changes are going to be the same.
[Sprint LG G2] pcedpr:
This a simple solution and it works flawlessly except I had to reboot in order to reconnect after I received a phone call. :good:

Previously, I tried WiFi Tether Router from Fabio Grasso but did not worked for LG-LS980 (Sprint) and he refunded the $1.95 paid after checking the log I sent.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Well for me, Ive disabled my sprint updates for now. I want to move to ZVA but losing tether and root tweaks Ive made arent worth the possability of tri band. And being in buffalo I dont see it coming here anytime soon. Ill wait to upgrade to 4.4 kk before I break tether again.
[Sprint LG G2] Geronimo.USMC:
I'm ZVA rooted stock. Need any files to get this working on ZVA?

I will make an odexed version as soon as its hacked again
[Sprint LG G2] MANDROIDS:
Does the hotspot zip work with youdug's stock ZVA rom? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2630748

Also, is there any work being done to get rid of the reboot between uses?

Thank you all you devs out there for your time and efforts!
[Sprint LG G2] James7Bond007:
I'd be surprised if the hotspot zip made for the ZV8 ROM works with the ZVA ROM because the services.jar file has been patched between the two ROM versions, so you'd end up with a ZVA rom running a ZV8 services framework.

It sounds like Ascertion and justinswidebody are on it, but if they don't get a chance to post an updated services.jar before I get the ZVA update, I'll take a shot at it.

The needing to reboot and hotspot not working on non 4G/3G eHRPD data are still TBD. Metalboy was the guy leading the effort, but he's been somewhat MIA lately so it may be on the rest of us to take over the effort.

[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Someone please host this on a Mediafire account since they don't seem to limit downloads at least not on small size files like this. Dropbox only has a limited number of downloads.

Btw, Justin, just curious did you work off of a deodexed version of the ZVA hotspot fix because I don't see it posted on here thus far? I remember you previous post above said you would build an odexed version off of the deodexed version once someone made it so I was just curious.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
I deodexed it then reodexed it. I can make a deodexed version, but that seems pointless being there isn't a deodexed rom. All I did was deodex, then made the same changes that were made in the last services.jar then reodexed
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Awesome, I'll give this a shot when I get home.

[Sprint LG G2] saucratiz:

[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Do you still have to reboot after every new connection? Like after you disconnect from tether, do you need to reboot to reconnect something again?
[Sprint LG G2] alvinator94:
On ZVA works like a charm
[Sprint LG G2] saucratiz:
Yes you still need to reboot after a disconnect
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Eh, small issue...better than no tether at all
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Yes that is a known issue since the ZV8 hotspot. Thats a small inconvenience and the phone reboots pretty fast anyways. More like an additional 3 minutes inconvenience.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Installed zva, finally got the hospot working again. After I twrp'ed the hotspot zip I cleared davlik/cache for the heck of it before booting into rom.

I turned off and on the hotspot three times, connected the wife's htc one to my g2 via wifi. I didnt have to reboot and had no problems. Ill keep an eye on it with other devices but Im not having to reboot to relaunch the hotspot as of right now.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Yeah but can you receive data from your reconnected devices after you turn off the hotspot more then once without reboot? THAT was the issue
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Yes, I can. Also worked with my tronsmart t1000 miracast dongle as well. Off and back on. I turned off the hotspot and.the wifi on the connected devices each time.

Maybe clearing davlik/cache before rebooting, after flashing, is important to do?
[Sprint LG G2] ChrisFSU:
What exactly does this do? Do you still have to pay for the $19.99 hotspot fee to be able to use the G2 as a hotspot on Sprint? Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer this for me.
[Sprint LG G2] chinchillables:
It allows you to use hotspot withOUT paying that fee. If you still had to pay the fee, then there would be no point in having this mod.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
So you seem to be the only person able to get devices to receive data without a reboot then, because everyone else is saying differently.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Well, all I know is it works. As I said maybe clearing out davlik before booting has something to so with it.
[Sprint LG G2] skoomo1:
i haven't rebooted my phone in two week and i turn my hotspot on and off all time time and it still works. :)
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
See! Im not crazy! lol
[Sprint LG G2] kyhassen:
This still only works with 4G??? Only asking because 3G would be very helpful.

I am getting ready to try Open Garden tomorrow when i get my bluetooth receiver for my laptop (need one anyway so it wasnt just for this) But i heard Open Garden does the same thing but shares it via bluetooth with devices that have bluetooth which sucks for something like my 3DS i cant use open garden on.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Zva hasn't even been out for two weeks....
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Look, maybe you have to reboot mistermidas. I dont. He doesnt. Whats with the "its not possible" attitude? I gave a suggestion on what I did differently installing it. Have you tried that?

Naysaying and is kinda pointless. I just upgraded zva yesterday. I have disconnected and reconnected tethering AND connected devices over 30 times since then without having to reboot my phone. Now if the only way you'll believe it is a video of me doing it... fine. Ill see what I can do tomorrow to prove it to you since you seem to wanna doubt everyone.

Seesh. In the meantime anyone installing this... after you flash the hotspot zip... before you boot to rom... clear davilk and cache then reboot. Let.us know if you can use tethering on/off without rebooting your phone afterwards. Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
I wipe cache everytime I flash anything. It's not a nay saying attitude, it's being realistic. Have you not seen the posts about still needing to reboot? So if you don't have to, then great...but when I first asked the question I got multiple replies saying it was still necessary. AND...like I said in my previous post, zva has only been out for a week and the hack for it hasn't even been out. So him not needing to reboot in two weeks obviously means he hasn't been using the zva hack.

But if like you said, you haven't or don't need to reboot after disconnecting tether, then wonderful. Maybe I'll get lucky too. I haven't actually needed to tether yet...but my internet contact is up soon and since I get 40mb+ download speed at my house now with spark...ill probably be using it allot soon.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
So you keep insisting that its not possible.... but you havent even tested yours yet? Well, who can argue with those results... lol.

Im done having this conversation.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Didn't say it's impossible at all...ever lol. I'm just skeptical that's all...if u say it works for you then awesome. I don't know you so I can't call you a liar without any facts to prove you wrong. Hell I hope you're right actually. It's just that I'm seeing conflicting answers is all. But I'll try it for myself soon enough and let you know the results when I do.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Enough guys, who cares. If it works without rebooting great. Thanks for sharing what you did to get it to work that way. I only tested the mod to see if it worked before I posted it, so therefore I can't say if it works now without rebooting. Only thing that matters is the mod works, and we don't have to pay for it
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
Can I ask, how did you install ZVA (OTA from Sprint, custom OTA, youdug's full ROM, ???)?

And did you do a PRL and/or profile update before or after flashing the hotspot zip?
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Youdug's stock rom. I havent updated profile or prl because there have been no new prl or profile updates available.
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
bigpappa - thanks for the info.

I've been weighing my options as to how to upgrade to ZVA, and I'm leaning towards letting the phone take the stock OTA update from Sprint so I don't have to spend any time on restoring apps/data/settings. Does anyone know if the installed hotspot mod on ZV8 could cause any issues with the ZVA OTA upgrade?
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
If you are rooted running a custom recovery, then your phone won't work the factory ota way. The upgrade does to many security checks and it will fail.
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
Yes I remember that from the ZV8 update - I have reverted back to stock recovery temporarily, and restored the one system app that bothered me enough to remove in the first place (the stupid Lumens toolbar) until after the upgrade. So the phone is basically stock ZV8 again, but rooted and with the hotspot mod applied. And a re-mapped headset button, but I doubt that would impact anything.
[Sprint LG G2] James7Bond007:
The hotspot mod is implemented by modifying the services framework system file. The OTA ZVA update script verifies that this file (as well as numerous others) are unmodified before it applies any of the patches/updates, so you will not be able to install the ZVA update as long as you have the hotspot mod (modified services framework) installed.

That said, you can update to ZVA by reverting back to the original services.odex file (uninstall hotspot mod), sideloading the update via the procedure outlined here: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4886-lg-g2-users-thread/page-170#entry277421 (no rooting required) and then reinstall justinswidebody's ZVA hotspot zip.
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
That answers my question definitively, thanks. Now I wish I had made a backup of the stock ZV8 services.jar/services.odex files, but I think I can pull them from a previous nandroid.

So does the sideloading procedure not do the same checks that a "normal" OTA upgrade procedure would? If not that sounds like a good option too, provided there is a safe ZVA zip - the one here sounds a bit too experimental for my taste, though I'd try it if I can't make the factory OTA work.
[Sprint LG G2] James7Bond007:
I'm still on stock ZV8, so I can get you stock services.jar/odex files if you want.

The checks are in the script (update-script) inside the zip file, so sideloading vs taking the update OTA does not matter with respect to the file integrity verifications. FYI, the file verifications are there because the updates for the files that get verified are sent as patches to (vs complete replacements of) those files. So if the updater went to patch a file and it had been modified, the update would fail and leave you with a mess (partially upgraded system).

As for Garwyn's update zip, I haven't downloaded it and looked at the update script, so I can't say what verifications it does.
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
That would be very cool if you have them handy.
