The problem does not appear to be specific to the Note 2, whether rooted or not rooted, from what I have been reading. The problem seems to be something within Jelly Bean.
I am using Jelly Bean Domination so I am obviously routed. I have d/l and tried a variety of WiFi programs, all to no avail.
If anyone is using a Note 2 and you have found a way to provide free wi-fi out to another device by hot-spotting the Note 2, would you mind sharing the exact program name you are using and any nuances you've discovered in using it.
Thanks.
