I couldnt find any solution on google except for ping command which sucks..
is there any other fix??
If Desire is unable to wifi tether i might sell it and buy a hero instead.. IM SERIOUS KID!
nexus one unavailable in scandinavia..
"Oh hi people, the radio in my ferarri doesnt work. Other than the known hack, is there any other ways to make it work? If not I might have to sell it and get a renault Clio so I can listen to the radio"
This is basically what you are saying.
Wifi tether doesnt work properly at the minute, and there are no other ways to make it work other than the ping method. Now, you can either wait a couples of weeks for it to be fixed and in the mean while enjoy the awesome phone that is the desire, or you can sell it for another phone that is on the verge of being outdated, just because you want one little feature.
At the end of the day, you are free to make the mistakes you want, but now you at least know that it is in fact a mistake.
Tether it with a usb cable
There's nothing wrong with a Renault clio

anybody have any issues with this? my laptop sees and can use the hotspot but my ipod touch cannot connect to it. also, even with the evo lying right next to the ipod, sometimes it cant even see the connection. i have to move the phone around for it to catch it. i have tried without a passcode and with a passcode. i have been able to detect both (from time to time) but can never connect to it. its getting frustrating.
Also,
my xbox 360 sees my connection and is able to use it but like the ipod, the connection is really crappy and the bars are really low even when the phone is lying next to the wifi antena. any ideas?
anybody have any insight?
Root and use the wireless tether app would be what I'd try.
I know that touch connects to ad-hoc just fine. That is strange though. I'd blame the ipod before blaming the evo.
well im rooted using unrevoked and pretty much anything can see my signal except ipod or other cell phones.
yeah i wish my zune hd would see my wifitether connection too :-(
why arent they seeing these connections. im serious when is say that due to this i may actually return my evo before july 4th....i need wifi and my touch pro 2 was flawless with it.

What version of IOS? I have been able to without a problem. You might try resetting wireless on the iPod. Wireless on Apple devices has been a problem. Didn't you see the keynote for iPhone 4? Even Steve Jobs couldn't get it working...
I don't think it has anything to do with the evo. the wireless tether on my g 1 never worked with my zunehd either. although my buddies ipod could connect to it as well as his iphone.

With the Evo and the Wireless Tether 2.0.5-pre2 & higher builds my zHD can see the tether because it's now AP mode instead of Ad-Hoc. That's why the Wireless Tether app on the G1 & Nexus & other phones don't show on a lot of devices (Wii, PSP, PS3, Zune HD, to name the ones I know for sure), since they don't have AP mode tethering.
Anyway, update your Wifi Tether app if it isn't showing still, because it works fine on my end.

to bring this back from the dead...i have the ipod touch 3gs if im not mistaken.
I have not seen this for the Incredible II yet. I tried running my PS3 through the wifi connection on the droid and the PS3 keeps signing me out. The PS3 seems to connect to the Incredible II ok and lets me get to a certain point, then all of a sudden the PS3 says that I have been signed out. I can sign back in but in a minute or so I am signed out again. I am not sure what is going on.
Any help would be appreciated.
gaming connections require alot of bandwidth that a 3G tether may not be able to give you. It may just be your PS3 signing you out because theres either not enough Bandwidth or you were pinging too high. this prevents people from lagging all over the place or dropping out mid-game because of an unreliable connection. the 3G hotspot is really more of a "oh crap, i have to download that presentation before the meeting" kinda thing. my only advice to you is to either step up to a 4G LTE hotspot or a wifi router connected to a solid land-line.
Thanks
That is what I was afraid of. I wanted to set up the PS3 in my car for my kid for a long drive. I can't afford the 4G hotspot right now. Thanks for the information though.

Hotbot hack turn your screentimeout to never works for me sometimes I sighn out but it's a data freeze that Verizon needs to fix let me know if you find out how to get pass freezes call Verizon

wow, kudos for the effort to keep the kid happy, my parents would tell me to get a straw and suck it up!
you may just have to tell your kid to live with a good long single-player game until he gets to where he's going. online-gaming while on-the-move isnt really a feasible concept at this time... atleast not for cheap
I live in the UK. In a couple of months I am going to be travelling in Australia, staying at various hostels. During the course of my travels I am going to have to access various online banking and credit card sites.
I'm assuming data charges are going to be high, even if I get a local simcard.
My choices are:
1. Use a computer at a hostel or internet cafe which I have no control over the security of, and could well have been compromised
2. Bring along a laptop to connect to the hostel internet connection (which I'm considering)
3. Work out how to reverse tether my phone to a computer in the hostel - providing me the security I want, without the added hassle of lugging a laptop and concern of losing/damaging/having it nicked.
I have no idea if there will be wifi, so I want to plan for the worst, and that is that I can only connect hard-wired to a computer.
I've searched for "USB reverse tether" and not turned up a solution, although plenty of people have asked the same question.
Is it possible, and if so, how?
Thanks.
The problem is, setting aside whatever you'd need to do on your phone, you'd also need to setup a driver on the computer to provide the tethering. That's probably not going to be an option.
Wifi is really going to be a lot more common than places with physical computers for you to use anyway. But if you're really worried about only having a physical connection, just bring along a wireless router. You can unplug the ethernet from the computer you're using, plug in your wifi router, and connect to it.
I'm pretty sure Sense has the features you're looking for.
-Nipqer
That's an idea I never thought of! A router is definitely a lot lighter and smaller than a laptop, even the little 12" one I have my eye on on eBay (damn, now I don't have an excuse to buy a new toy )
I guess ADB would be involved in trying to connect my phone to a computer, and you're right, it's doubtful I'd have any admin privileges on a hostel computer....
I also toyed with the thought of just bringing a portable Linux distro on a USB drive or CD to remove any Windows-borne threats. But I don't really know enough about that. I've tried Ubuntu on my laptop before, but gave up when I couldn't get the wireless adaptor to work. I never tried plugging it directly into the router though...
Hmmm, decisions decisions....!!!!

O rly? Do tell!
I don't know if I could saddle myself with Sense permanently, but that's what Nandroid is for
You could use a sense based rom (I'm using Virtuous Sense at the moment)
It has a USB Tethering option (Share phone's mobile network with PC)
You would probably need to install at least HTC Sync software on the computer you're going to use, to get the drivers. I had an installer come on my sdcard with the phone, so you might have it too.

Ah, no, this is the opposite of what I want to do. I need to share the computer's network with the phone.
Yes that is also an option in Sense, called Internet Pass-Through.
You'd still need the drivers for it though I think.

Well, you learn something new every day - I never knew that existed!
TBH I pretty much got rid of Sense in favour of a CM rom as soon as I got the phone, same with my old Desire.
You're right though, looking at HTC's help pages indicates installing HTC Sync on the host computer. So I think what I wanted to do is pretty much a no-go in my situation.
I think maybe the "bring my own router" is looking like the best option.
Thanks for your replies, guys - much appreciated
You can probably get a local SIM for pretty cheap. Check out the data rates. If you only need it for some critical stuff here and there you'll be able to get a low amount of data on the SIM (or a Data-only SIM). If not, I'm sure you'll be able to duck into some coffee shops with free WiFi and hook up that way.
If you really need to get some things done I'd simply bring a laptop and hook up to the net in one of the hostels or some other place with WiFi. I think you're going through too much trouble here.

You're probably right, but I'm just a worrier! I like having a back-up plan for when sh*t hits the fan. Maybe I should just take a chill pill and see what happens
The only reason I'm hesitant about relying on data via a SIM is that I know I'll be tempted to keep checking my email and Facebook/myYearbook all the time - and using up all my data and caning the battery. I'm hoping I can somehow abstain from all that and just use the damn thing as a PHONE (except when absolutely necessary!) :-D
Hi Guys. Really sorry if this has been asked alot and beaten to death but an hour of searching and reading hasnt really revealed an answer.
My company just gave me an HTC One X+ from AT&T since I didnt want an iPhone. Seems like a good device but I did run into one snag.
My previous phone was a Galaxy S2 but was having major battery drain issues with Exchange Server so I thought I would try a different manufacture and keep my fingers crossed. The snag is this: with my SGS2 I was able to use FoxFi (and others) for WiFi tethering/hotspot and it worked great even bone-stock. With the HOX it seems At&t has gotten a little smarter and can detect when a program is trying to hotspot and I get taht message saying to call them if I want it enabled when I start FoxFi.
I have the paid version of clockworkmod and that will not work at all - says failed to connect when I hit start in Windows 7. I also have the paid version of PDAnet and that kind of works but the connection get dropped pretty regularly making it unreliable. Not sure if this has anything to do with Att's detections since they did gave me some trouble with the SGS2 as well (not exactly same though).
My question is this: can I get FoxFi to work WITHOUT root? Since it is brand new and not mine technically I hate to start hacking the thing up so quickly. But the tethering is a function I really like.
Thanks
Ernie

Did you ever get it to work? I have rooted my One x+ and have FoxFi and it still won't work. A friend of mine said something about using Titanium Backup to freeze a service for tethering to work....but I haven't been able to figure out how to do that yet.
Thanks
Matt
No, no luck but I havent tried rooting it yet. I posted this over in the HOX+ forum as well and everyone says rooting is the way to go. Discouraging that it is not working for you. I dont know enough about Titanium to help you, hopefully someone else here can.
I gave my old SGS2 to my wife which is no on Straight Talk and hotspoting/tethering still works fine for her :/.

Are there any updates on an unlock method for 3.11.605.1? I'm having a pretty serious problem with streaming Internet Radio apps cutting out with the screen off after about 5 minutes. The app Data Connection Fix has helped out a lot, but I wanted to try out other ROMs to see if I can find 1 without this issue. It's such a shame that I'm having this issue because the HTC One seems like such a great phone. Unfortunately, streaming Internet Radio at work is the main thing that I use my phone for and my older Droid X2 on 3g outperforms this phone in that aspect. It's so sad a newer 4g device has this issue and makes me wonder if I should ever mess with another HTC device or Android device period. I wanted to get away from iOS, but I'm finding that almost every Android device I've been using needs to be unlocked/rooted to fix really simple features that should work right out of the box and with every update. The Bluetooth A2DP quality problem with most JellyBean devices has been a nightmare. That's what made me ditch my LG G2. I tried just about every custom ROM and music through bluetooth was horrible no matter what I tried, even on the newer KitKat ROMs.

I'm pretty sure there's just a setting you're missing that keeps the radio from cutting out. I used to stream Sirius XM and had the problem but I remember getting it fixed somehow. If I think of it I'll let you know. And no, you can't gain s-off on 4.4.2. If you read at all on here, you'll know when you can.

Could you please tell me what setting? I get great service where I work and haven't had a problem with any other phone. I even went to Verizon and got a new SIM card. I've tried everything, starting with factory resets and clearing the cache. I have sleep mode off, app data sync on, mobile data is not restricted or limited, I've tried with and without beats audio enabled. The audio cuts out about every 5 minutes for 5-10 seconds and comes back on, just to cut out again for 5-10 seconds every 5 or so minutes. It's very annoying. The only thing that really helps is the data connection fix app, but that's not 100% reliable. I even called HTC and Verizon about the issue and they are looking into it. I would have normally just tried a different ROM, but I'm unable to unlock/s-off/root my phone because I'm on 4.4.2(3.11.605.1). That's the only reason I even called them. I currently have my phone up for sale and I'm seriously thinking about switching my service to sprint. I'm tired of paying top dollar for used phones to keep my unlimited data on Verizon. For all I know, there could be a problem with the phone, but it seems like a software issue to me. Everything else works and runs great. It's just that streaming Internet Radio is the thing I use most.
Have you tried this?

Yes I've tried. It has nothing to do with beats audio. For some reason it just drops the data connection for like 5-10 seconds with the screen off every 5 minutes or so. I don't know if it's incompatible apps with 4.4.2 or 4.4.2 itself. It could also have something to do with the HTC sense software. It could just be the way this phone communicates with the Verizon towers. I have no idea and it's very frustrating. The last time I had a problem similar to this was when I had an LG Optimus V on Virgin Mobile and it would lose 3g and I would have to turn off the data connection and turn it back on. This is different, though, because I have 4G LTE all the time. There just seems to be a delay in receiving my data to where the Internet Radio cuts out before it signals for more data. Then by the time I receive more data, it's too late and the sound has already cut out. I did a speed test and I'm getting about 30mbps download and around 15mbps upload so I know I'm not being throttled. The only thing that helps is the data connection fix app.

I did some more testing and I don't have any issues on WiFi and I don't have any issues if the screen stays on. It's only on cellular data with the screen off when I'm having issues. I noticed the Power Saving feature was removed in 4.4.2 and instead there's a sleep mode option. I have the sleep mode option off, but I'm thinking my issue might be because of a power saving bug in the HTC software for 4.4.2. If anybody knows anything about this, please post. Thanks
Think it will ever be unlocked?
I would SO much love to have airplay enabled on my HTC One. I came from iPhone, and have a full home surround sound based on Airplay, which I now can't use. Airplay is available only through a root application, although i have my phone on 4.4.2. Any thoughts on if and when this will ever be unlocked? Otherwise it's a huge reason for me to not have this phone...

Well it took beaups and crew about 1 month + to get 4.3 unlocked. Plus it seems more devs are having issues with 4.4.2 so it could be longer. At this point hope for the best and expect the worse.
I seriously don't know why all of these companies continue to try and lock out everyone's phones (and spend unnecessary money doing so) when someone will just outwit them almost every time. If a dev REALLY wanted this done right away it would be done! Point blank... It's a cat n mouse game and Verizon will lose. I just purchased an HTC One on 4.4.2 and have full faith that it will be cracked wide open anytime now. No one can stop somebody that is determined and smarter than the person who created the bottleneck. Here's hoping to a quick S-off method soon :victory:

It's not unnecessary money to them honestly. In Samsung's case they are trying to prove that their devices are secure enough to use for government agencies. Do you think they care that a few rogue hackers find exploits from time to time? No, they just need to convince some corporate goon that his e-mails to his mistress won't get intercepted. Speaking of the S4, it's been locked down now for about 8 months so I'd say they're getting pretty damn good at it. They have root I believe, but the bootloader is locked down tight on every S4 other than the very first firmware that came with the phone. I'm not sure what HTC's motivations are but I'm guessing they need to play ball with companies like Verizon in order to be able to sell their devices in the future.
Another thing that is hurting us is that Android itself is getting more secure. They are adding features that prevent exploits so it makes it harder for your average dev to find a way in. In the future we may be forced to buy developer editions to be able to do anything. That's worse case, but you never know.
Just like you I had "faith" that a developer would crack the S4 and I could finally have freedom. It never happened. It still hasn't happened. That's the main reason I switched to HTC. I'm not saying you should give up hope, but if you can't stand a phone to be locked down you should be looking into buying a different phone just in case...

Valid points! That's why I said "almost every time"... I really just need root and I would be happy but I switch devices so much that I probably won't even have the One (my 3rd HTC One) by the time it gets exploited (if) it does. And I do understand that Google has to close a lot of security holes so that they don't look like they are such a terrible company by allowing all of these terrible "viruses" into our phones which I have never had any issues with. I do agree with you though that we will probably all be buying dev phones sooner than later. Thanks for the insight!
Just another reason to leave Verizon and go get a Nexus device.
