Wifi hotspot and Nexus4
-
For couple of days I have been trying to get hotspot working in my nexus4 with ubports OTA-2. I really need that when on the road. I am not any developer, I can't code anything. I just like to try to get things working..
First I tried this script. It worked really great, and with WPA-PSK security. I tested it (3hours) with all my phones and computers at same time and performance was good. Phone warmed a little bit, but it wasn't hot or anything. But problems started when I shutdown hotspot, then my wifi went totally off, it didn't do anything anymore. It died totally. Only clean reflash resolved problem. I think it really messed up some files.

BUT I only get open wifi hotspot. Speed was good and it was reliable. It doesn't even need sudo. And I can enable it and disable all nite long and it just works..WPA-PSK didn't work with this way. BUT when shutting off hotspot, it did need only reboot and wifi was back.
Here are commands that I used:
Create a connection
nmcli connection add type wifi ifname '*' con-name my-hotspot autoconnect no ssid my-local-hotspotPut it in Access Point
nmcli connection modify my-hotspot 802-11-wireless.mode ap 802-11-wireless.band bg ipv4.method sharedSet a WPA password (you should change it)
nmcli connection modify my-hotspot 802-11-wireless-security.key-mgmt wpa-psk 802-11-wireless-security.psk myhardpasswordEnable it (run this command each time you want to enable the access point)
nmcli connection up my-hotspotDisable it (run this command each time you want to enable the access point)
nmcli connection up my-hotspotIf someone knows how to configure WEP or knows how to get WPA-PSK work with nmcli tool?
Maybe someone could find why first script works with WPA-PSK but second way wont.
Simple gui would be nice if someone know how to put it together?Thanks!
