i found this at howard forums for you:::
I was having the same problem but got mine to work. It seems that when I went in to my phone wifi settings and physically connected to WMWifiRouter - it worked! So, after you do successfully do this - turn on bluetooth pan, start WM Router, and connect.
Before I tried this, my laptop would see the network but not connect. I am getting speeds of 1.5 KBS, and the upload speed is great. It works perfectly with my company laptop and MAC. Also, be careful with battery. Keep your phone plugged in. I love this and will now cancel my Comcast.
find the thread here http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349806

what version of wmwifirouter are you using? i followed your directions but i get stuck on "WLAN is ON! Waiting for ICS" and Internet Sharing is built in ookbas rom. Then the wifi disconnects
My old ibook doesnt have a wifi card, I CAN use this to connect to the internet right? Thanks for the quick response btw.

:::EDIT::::: okay so i did some searching and this is a common problem. only works with certain phones. the only advice i gleemed from it was to try a program called WalkingHotSpothttp://www.walkinghotspot.com/ but unfortunatly it is a one time 24.99 charge. sorry i can't help anymore. i'll search for answers and send you a message if i find anything different
these aren't my directions.. i just gave you a forum link that you might find some solutions. i personally don't have this problem but.... i'm sure with some good google searches you might find something. the guys on howardforums are pretty good with the hardware problems. i'm searching for another article for you also i'll post it as soon as i get it. it may have a solution for you too.

oh man thanks alot, i think it might have to do with the fact that i am using an old version of wmwifirouter. thanks for your help

Internet Sharing location?

I've just spent a while searching for this but i cant seem to find it.. I need to get the internet sharing working on my dash, running nrg's 1.4 full but i dont know what happened to the internet sharing lnk.
As far as i know it should still work and should still be somewhere on the phone. Does anyone happen to know of the location of the file? i believe its something like intsharll.exe or something.
Im running seven (7000 i think) with all updates, have wmdc with everything.
I just cant seem to get this to work again.

Really Weird WIFI Problem

Greetings everyone. I've had a T-Mobile Dash (the black one) for quite a while now, but since I got it has a really weird problem with the WIFI. When I turn on the WIFI it searches the connections flawlessly, I can put the key on any connection or enter freely when is open. But then it says connecting and a few seconds later it says connections available again, as if it tried to connect and could not. This happens with ALL connections, unsecured, WEP, ect. I had installed every cooked rom available and also installed the stock one to see if it works, but alas, nothing works. Does anyone has any tips or tricks on how to get the WIFI working?

Have you considered that probably the router your phone is searching has a problem? or you tried in other location and still the same problem?

Thanks for the suggestion, but yeah, I already did that. I have tried connection in many routers and in all happen the same thing. It is a really weird problem and searching through the 3VO thread I saw somebody had the same problem but no answer. I am ready to just accept that my Dash is WIFI less forever. I have tried everything. But thanks anyway

[Q] 3G and Bluetooth issues....

Hi all!
Not sure as to why but I am having problems connecting to 3G and also having bluetooth signal issues.
Regarding the 3g, it is showing up in the menu bar but when I try to go into the Market, it gives me a connection problem and wants me to keep retrying. Even if it does connect, it disconnects fairly quickly and gives me the same retry popup.
Regarding bluetooth, I was having no issues until recently. it is really choppy ever since I updated to Fresh's rom 3.2 and also went to a new HBOOT in order to flash my splash screen. People on the other side are having a fair amount of problems understanding me.
Is it possible that these 2 issues are related somehow and if so, how? Is there a way to fix as may something have happened when I changed the rom or HBOOT?
Thanks in advance for any help!
So, I have posted 3 threads in the last 5 days and got only 2 replies to them. Are people just unwilling to help nowadays or am I doing something wrong or is it because I don't post a lot that this is happening? I think I have been descriptive and courteous in my posts and would appreciate some help.
I see posts both right before mine and right after getting help and yet no one helps me. How about sharing the knowledge and suggestions PLEASE???
This may help any interested...my Mobile Network setting is constantly showing as "Turning On" but never completely turns on. Why is that and how do I fix it?
My 4g does completely turn on but do not know if it works as do not get in my local area.
Thanks for the help.

[Q] Wifi Tethering with Mac

Hey guys I am having problems with the wifi hotspot on my Nexus with my Mac. It will connect fine but after about 5 min the internet will cut out but still remain connected. Have no problems with my iPhone 4 from work so it is something to do with the phone. Any ideas on how to fix it? Very frustrating.

Are you on 4.0.1? I heard that .1 has some kind of issues with tethering taht were solved in newer builds. Did you try to tether to some other computer?
Yeah I am on 4.0.1. Have not tried other computer. Have found turning location services off fixes the problem. Is it hard to flash to yakju build so I can get 4.0.2? Is there any way to do this to void my warranty?

IMHO this whole yakju-better-than-yakjusomething is over hyped. There were threads where yakjusomething builds got updates, and yakju didn't. I wouldn't bother my self to wipe phone and flash other builds If I were you, well I'm not going to do that since I have yakjuxw or something similar It's still a Nexus, you WILL get any update as soon as it will be possible! Earlier I had Nexus S i9023 with SLCD screen (I loved that screen BTW) and I was getting updates couple of weeks after Android sites started to write about them. It looks like Google disabled updates after battery complains from users. For some time now I haven't heard about anyone getting .3 or .2 update to any SGN. Just my thoughts, sorry for little OT
Thanks again for the reply. Yeah I might just leave it as it is until I get the update. Turning location services off doesn't seem to fix the problem it is still disconnecting. Will just use my iPhone 4 for now :-(
Have now also found that I can not connect the nexus through bluetooth either. The Mac won't even recognise it. Any way around this? Grrrr

Did you check device visibility in bluetooth options? I'm curiosity now, I'm going to try how tether and bt workshop with my SGN and mac
I will try to report back my findings

Thanks mate . Bluetooth is working ok now. Have found an app called wifi hotspot which seems to be holding the connection.
im also having the exact same issue. i'm on att. running an AOSP custom 4.0.3 Rom. I tried using att's tether apn and it keeps reverting back to Cingular 410, however i dont believe this is the issue, i think its related to the OS itself. is it Mac related? i have no other computers to test it with :-/
Maybe this: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/1Yy1jb9z4TA will help? In the post there is a zip for mac
Hey mate thanks for the link unfortunately it doesn't make a difference and for some reason the net won't work on wifi hotspot at all now. It connects but that is it :-(.
I didn't have time to really look into it, but I have some idea. Can you try how will it work when you disable security in settings? I mean make it an open network for, a second and try some browsing
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
that seemed to work on my nexus one and iphone 4 when i tethered. tried it with my gnex, same results, still showing connected, but no internet access after 5-15 min. i checked the status log of wifi tether for android, as it was doing the same thing with this app, and the it showed the wifi interface disconnecting by itself, i didn't do anything. Definitely OS related. Interestingly enough, this has happened both on the stock kernel and this franco 9.2 i'm running right now. Likewise with stock rom and this my current rom. so who knows.....very annoying though. :-/
Ok, with the network open on the Nexus the connection is fine on my Mac. As soon as I enable security though I have problems. Thanks heaps for the help so far but is there any solution available for this? Not real keen on leaving my connection open.
Sorry to bump. I'm having this issue as well. Verizon Galaxy Nexus on 4.0.2. My MacBook Pro connects to the hotspot fine and works for a bit, but then stops working. I can run network diagnostics to make it work again, but I have to keep doing that every 5-10 minutes or so and it makes it too annoying to use.
My iPad 2, iPhone 4, TouchPad, and mom's Windows laptop works just fine and never have these issues. It's only my MacBook. Anybody find a solution yet?
Exactly the same problem here.. Galaxy Nexus tethered wifi macbook pro running 10.7.2. Stays connected, but stopps passing any packets. Ipad, and other devices are still connected working properly, and the phone itself can use the LTE data connection. I've tried stock 4.0.2, as well as AOKP 4.0.3 latest build.. no luck. I've also tried both the native AP and android-wifi-tether too. Any help would be appreciated and rewarded.
---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------
PS - I even have the tethering option enabled on my Verizon account... (in case you were thinking it had something to do with big red blocking data)
I am still suffering this problem too. :-(. It is a real issue when I work outside the office a lot and do not have any problems with my work Iphone 4. I found pdanet works connected by USB but you can not access secure sites on the free version. Is there good alternative to pdanet?
hey guys. i now use an open network when i tether. it seems to keep a stable internet connection (packets transferring). the longest i've maintained a working tethering connection has been 2 hours....so it seemed good enough for me. Let me know how u guys fair if u do try an open network. still a weird issue imo that doesn't have too many solutions or even suggestions in the xda community (probably cause not many are tethering?). gl.
Hey, when I put my phone to an open connection mine is stable too. Must be something to do with the security. Wish there was a solution, I can't keep mine open the whole time :-(.
Anyone found a fix for this yet? Just about to return mine, tired of it not working. Have updated to 4.02 and my Mac to 10.7.3

Possible to connect to an ad-hoc WiFi network?

Hi!
I know google doesn't want to implement this feature into Android, but there are a lot of patched wpa-supplicant around that work on other phones. Is there one for our phone? Has anybody managed to get this working? I looked all over but wasn't able to find a solution for HTC One X.
Thanks!

Just by searching, I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1718053
just by searching, i found this and many other things for other phones but nothing seems to work on hox, at least for me, that's why i asked here. there is surprisingly little discussion about this issue for our phone, so i thought maybe someone managed to get it working some way or the other. thanks anyway!

Well I tested it yesterday on my HOX, and I successfully connected my HOX to the ad-hoc network. The add-hoc network even shows up in the available network list on my HOX.
Edit: I created the add-hoc network on a Macbook Pro running a Windows 8.1 bootcamp.
well, ad-hoc networks, created e.g. with an iphone or some other phone, certainly don't show up in wifi settings, but this is usual android behaviour as far as i know. they show up in wifi manager app, but i can't connect to them, even with static ip, as it's described in some possible solutions like the one you posted before.
well, my sailing trip, where i need such access, because during sailing we use an old windows mobile samsung omnia as a 3g wifi router, is unfortunately slowly coming to an end, and back home i won't be having this problem anymore .
thanks for your help!
