I recently upgraded from a Huawei Ascend G300 (stock ICS) to a Nexus 4. Never had any trouble tethering the G300 to my wifi Nexus 7. Now I've got the Nexus 4 I can't do it any more - a connection is made but no data gets transmitted (wifi icon on the Nexus 7 shows full bars but remains grey). Also tried with bluetooth: same result. Was and am on a monthly Orange plan.

Anyone else had any trouble doing this?

Does Orange block tethering? Some US carriers do. I spent last week on holiday accessing the net on my 7 tethered to my 4 (wifi tethering) so it does work. Have you reset all your wifi settings (told the 7 to forget your network)? Also, try taking all the encryption off - I wouldn't recommend leaving it that way but it is worth doing for testing.

Orange didn't block tethering with my old phone so I'd be surprised if that's changed with the Nexus 4.
I have tried resetting with no success. Just tried taking encryption off as you suggest - same result - I get a strong connection but the wifi signal is grey not blue and I'm unable to actually connect to the internet. I'll keep on trying...
