Froyo 2.2 ROMS - Android WiFi Tether?

I've tried the stock rooted Froyo 2.2, Ava Froyo 2.2, and OMJ Froyo and the all work great (thanks everyone) but seems like Android WiFi Tether doesn't work on any of them. Is anyone experiencing this?
Actually WiFi Tether works but my laptop can't catch the signals whereas it does on OMJ 2.1fine.

same here
I unfortunately have to agree with you...wireless tethering just does not work yet with this new kernel. I have tried all the same HTC froyo roms as well... I can broadcast and my WiFi device can see it and try to connect but cannot get an ip address ..always 169... I hope this gets fixed soon

I don't use tethering that much anymore (now that I'm not in high school) but once I start college next month I'll need it more than ever, so idk if I should flash 2.2 yet. From everything I've read nobody's gotten it to work on any froyo roms yet.

first, q and a, not development, is where this should have been posted.
second, i'm on cm6 nightly 7/29, with the new radio and wimax flashed over it. i had no problem at all using the froyo hotspot (obviously not sprint's, bc no sprint packaged material is on the cm6 aosp release). it's not 4g, but it works. i tethered my ps3 with no issues at all.

im in same boat... once i head back to college i'm going to want to take advantage of the unlimited 4G... and without wifi tether thats going to suck.. hopefully someone can figure this out -
maybe someone will make a kernel with it enabled based on whatever in 2.1 that allows it ...?
does PDANET work? anyone who upgraded?

this is in wrong section but I used version 2_0_5-pre4 and it works fine. right now on Stock Froyo rooted but switching to Fresh 3.0 beta 2 in a few min

cyanogenmod's rom has working tethering. doesn't have 4g or sense, but wifi tether works, as does everything else.

werid
weird, still not working for me, I am going back to 2.1 OMJ for now, I need my free 4G WIFI TETHER DEVS!

I don't really care about tethering, but can you get any of the fps "fixed" kernels to work on any of the 2.2 roms?

Does the wireless tethering capability that comes stock with Froyo not work for you? Works fine for me in CM6.

Need some time?
The leak has only been released less than 2 days therefore obviously still have a lot of issue with old APP. just give the Developers sometime and I am certain they will come up with something. Beside the leaked 2.2 floating around is not really a final copy anyway so what's the point of working so hard on something that will be replace in a few days. Think all the Developers should just give themselves a beer, sit back relax to calm down their nerves so that their brains will be working at 100% when the final release come out.

Oh,

Didn't try that but does that work with 4G too? (if you didn't sign up for 4G?)

Can you give specifics of your setup? I tried the Evo-Froyo-2.2-Rooted-Stock-3.26.651.3-Deodexed ROM (with latest radio + wimax) but could not get version 2_0_5-pre4 to work. It starts wifi tethering BUT my laptop cannot find /discover it.
Thanks.

Me too.. yes sir.. it no work

he is probably on cm6. you cant really compare the two roms since sprint has its hand in locking up a native feature of the device for profit. we probably need the kernel tweaked by one of the devs in order to get this working.

Yeah, my laptop cannot see it either.

Everyone with an Evo on Sprint is "signed up" for 4G. It may not be available where you are at, but you are paying for it and "signed up" for it.

i ended up purchasing pdanet for tethering. was only 18.95. to be honest this phone is great, but we all know the battery's shortcomings. im ok with killing 2 birds with one stone by tethering usb and charging the phone at the same time . Any solution is cheaper than sprint's recurring tethering charge.

Does pdanet allow tethering over 4g in a 2.2 rom? If so, what speeds are you getting?

Need some tips on CM6... Can't get tethering to work.

I'm still kinda stuck on Fresh Rom 1.0.1, I keep Nandroid'ing back to it. Everything works good and I really saw no reason to jump on Fresh 3.1.0.1 yet.
I have been "playing" with other ROMS though. I just checked out CM6 and I gotta say, I like landscape mode for the desktop/main screen. All the Android releases should do that. The only ones I've personally seen do that are the ones with slide out keyboards.
Anyway I'd probably run CM6 if I could get everything working right. The big thing for me that I just can't seem to get working is Wifi Tethering. I can't get it working on ANY FroYo release for that matter. I've tried CM6's built in app, I've tried Wifi Tether, Pre 1~7, nothing seems to take. In most cases my PC's won't see the network and if they do, they won't connect to the net. I Nandroid back to my Fresh Rom 1.0.1 and all is well though.
Suggestions?

[Q] Wireless Tether has STOPPED working!

It stopped working this morning, it created the network, I could connect my laptop to it, but it wouldn't go on the internet, did some things I saw on AndroidForums, and it still doesn't work. It says "Wireless Tether running with errors, check log.."
Picture of the log in attachment.
HTC Incredible running CM6 with Koush's alternate kernel.

I really need some tethering, PDANet works, but it's terrible on top of terrible mixed with some awful and a little bit of deplorable.

Could this have to do with my kernel? I was running KingXKlick #4 and it was MURDERING my battery, so I switched back to the Koush one, which also made my WiFi stop working, would a kernel change fix this?

Yes kernels have a direct effect on your wifi and tether usage.
If you're looking for speed KingKernels do well, but if you want battery life then I recommend:
Adrynalyne's experimental undervolt (SENSE/AOSP):
http://adrynalyne.us/?p=79
Hydra's stock speed undervolt (SENSE ONLY):
http://www.hydrakernel.net/stock_speed_undervolted_kernels.htm
Otherwise using stock kernel or adrynalyne's custom virtuous kernel (works on all sense roms) is great too. Wireless tether has worked for me with all these. Don't think I've ever used a koush sense-based kernel...
As always do a nandroid before flashing etc etc

Would a wipe/reflash cure the WiFi problems I'm having? Or is it deeper than that?

I had this problem happen to me yesterday. I run ruby1.1.1. I did the following, and it works great now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8410860&postcount=260

Might be a silly question, but are you using the Wireless Tether from the marketplace? If so I'd suggest trying the latest version from the developer's code http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=wireless+tether
Also, yes the kernel will affect wifi although most of them should be fully enabled with the latest version of Wireless Tether.

[Q] wifi calling on rc2, what am i doing wrong

i tried most of the newest nightlies, wiped and all. the other caller comes in choppy but they can hear me just fine. mms isnt going through either.
i reset my router, modem, wiped my phone 3 times and flashed rc2 again. no dice, wifi calling is broke for me. i then recovered from my old back up (stock rom on bacon bits) n wifi calling worked perfectly.
what am i doing wrong exactly? is there any way i can fix it?

Can someone shoot me a stock g2 post ota build.prop. id like to give it a flash just to see if I get it working.

Ok. So I think I might have soothed this thing. I'm on rc2 btw,
I deleted wifi calling via titanium.
Rebooted
Reinstalled rc2
Its still a bit distorted but its actually usable now.

Ok so I went to recovery n wiped everything again after reinstalling the wifi calling apk and pershoots latest .26 kernel.
Its much more useable now. The distortion is hardly noticeable and I can actually hold conversations well without having to ask the other party to repeat themselves.

I think its one of the known issues of CM6

freedom kernel wifi issue?

Is there a WiFi fix for the Aggressive Freedom(universal) kernel?
I seem to be unable to connect to wifi, in networks it just says "Error" under the WiFi option.

From what I've read in the kernel's thread, it's the undervolting itself that's the issue, seems to cause problems with radio reception overall. So presumably going to a kernel that undervolts less aggressively should fix that, or at least help.
If it's an issue not related to the undervolting, then it'll be up to Lithid to develop a fix. Or you could go and download the source and try your hand at kernel hacking

Alright, I attempted flashing the other 2, more, less, and I tried Golden Monkey, all three of those don't allow my phone to boot... Quite disappointing, lots of work goes behind kernels and I am in no way upset with the kernels, just my phone.
Ima try the freedom stock kernel and see how that goes, but is there any special method to flashing a kernel?

Nothing particularly special. I wipe Cache and Dalvik-cache before flashing a new kernel every time and that generally seems to work ok. With the earlier Freedom kernel versions on MikG I found that flashing the stock kernel, wiping cache/dalvik and then flashing the new kernel worked better than just flashing the new kernel over.

Yeah, IDK what i'm doing wrong but none of the kernels will work for me. The only one that worked was Freedom-Aggressive, but I had no WiFi and it kept going to 1x, so I just a nandroid restore and im gonna stick with whatever synergy is running as a kernel.

I unfortunately don't have any personal experience running Synergy so I can't really offer much advice there. I'm not sure if there's a minimum number of posts requirement, but you could try searching through the thread for the kernel on the Dev. forum, and possibly post in the thread if there's no useful search results.

Yeah I don't have enough posts yet to post in the dev forum, but I have scoured the dev section for synergy and haven't found anything yet.

I am having the same issue I haven't tried more or less but I have tried golden monkey, both aggressive freedom universal, and godmode. They all seem to break wifi and 4g on synergy rls1 with godmode, on my phone. I had some luck with the aggressive freedom godmode kernel however my superuser app, setcpu and benchmark app kept on force closing. Ever since then every time I reflash it, it always breaks wifi. I am somewhat new to all this and have spent days reading through posts and haven't found much of a solution. I would love to figure this out because with either aggressive kernal (godmode or universal) my phone is super fast. I am almost and I mean almost ready kiss wifi goodbye but I would like to find a solution. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I would really like to find a fix for the issue or find someone who may have a way to fix it. IDK though, my evo won't flash any kernels with Synergy RLS1 + godmode. Got it to work once, but after I flashed to the back up since WiFi didn't work, my phone just gets stuck on the htc screen.

I'm just so new to all this, and work so many hours its real hard to spend any time figuring it out. I won't have much time this coming week to do much with testing but I will try and get as much info and kernels tested to find out which work best but so far the 3 I have tried wifi won't start and says error. Sux cuz my phone is so fast with aggressive freedom kernal

Knight,
I would suggest going to synergy rls 1 ( the regular version not godmode) it seems a lot of phones dont like god mode but run smooth as butter on rls 1.
I am running synergy rls 1 with golden monkey universal kernal. no problems with wifi. Cant test 4g as I am not in a 4g area.
Hope this helps

Thanks I will try that later on tonight.

Ok this is the best advice i have read so far.. i was having major issues flashing kernels.. when i could get them to work, wifi was not working and neither was 4g. So i flashed over to synergy +godmode, and it was so slow and sluggish with the stock kernel on my phone.. i tried freedom aggressive, golden monkey, netarchy, and while they all made my phone much more responsive and fast, i still had issues with 4g and wifi.. So today i found this, and flashed over to the regular synergy without godmode.. Already i can tell a huge difference with the stock kernel, it is very fast and responsive. I am flashing over Freedom aggressive to see if wifi and 4g work, crossing my fingers, if not i will then try golden monkey..
*******Update***********
OK merchmonster, you sir are awesome.. I can confirm wifi and 4g working with synergy rls 1 no godmode, and freedom aggressive universal.. Very awesome!!!!!!! If i could thank you a thousand more times i woud!!

I had to replace the freedom aggressive kernel due to my wifi stopped working a few days after flashing so I wanted to put the stock back on after flashing and during reeboot it gets stuck on the white htc evo 4g screen. I wiped dalvic and cache 3 time first. Any ideas?
