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?
I'm about to just toss my evo into the wall.
I read lots of threads and tried everything I found but still no go.
I went from stock 2.2 to the new 2.2 root.
From there, made a nand backup and updated to netarchy's kernal and rom.
Everything installed fine except for trying to connect to google to sign in to assign my google account to my phone. It was a 3g issue. I turned on wifi and signed in. Same issue with market. I can pull up the main pages but can't pull up app info page. I have to use wifi instead of 3g.
I found a apn xml file on another thread that everyone said works. It looks the same as the one I backed up before I rooted.
That still didn't work.
I restored my nand and everything worked.
But being the stubborn person that I am and was determined to get it to work, I tried it again, this time I updated the radio and wiimax. Still the same issue.
I went back to my nand and now 3g doesn't work for google/market again.
It works fine for everything else. speedtest shows 1mbps download speeds.
Web browser works fine.
I d/l netarchy's 2.2 rooted stock as well as steelh's 2.2 rooted stock but still the issue with 3g.
Please someone help me before I end up destroying this phone to pieces.
Oh another issue is if I do use wifi, some programs from market shows cannot install. I know the fix is to install from explorer but I can't find the reason why that is. In otherwords, why can't it install from market anymore?
I am having the same problem with market and syncing in 3g. All works in 4g. Stock 2.2 to rooted stock 2.2 a couple of days ago. Help
second thread of this type that has popped up, this just started happening to me today also.
Seems anything google related isn't working over 3g for me.
Wifi works fine.
Have tried several roms, updated radio to newest version (even though i'm pretty sure it was).
Tried ##768# and ##3283# reset.
Ummmmmmm.. Yeah that is about it. 3g signal stays connected and middle to high signal strength at all times. WTF is google doin here.... Glad it isn't just limited to me lol.
Sadly doesn't seem enough people having issues that there is a remedy is there?
I think one of the reasons is because the apn got messed up.
I found a xml file for it from cm6 thread but it didn't fix it.
I posted another thread requesting another one but no one replied to that one.
Another issue I found that seems to be 3g related:
So now my issue with 3g is that I can't get google to sync contacts, calander, email well, google talk times out, market can't pull open pages and now my current location city name.
Crazy ironic thing is that facebook somehow always automatically installs itself.
I keep uninstalling it and it somehow shows up again as version 1.2
A friend suggested I go back to RUU and start completely over.
I d/l 2.2 RUU and still issues with google, man wtf.
I used part 2 of the 2.2 root and still no good with google.
I guess I gonna go to bed with the battery taken out and see if that does anything when I wake up.
So I guess it was an issue with google?
I woke up and it works fine now...
My 4G will turn on and scan and even show bars but it doesn't work. It never fully loads. 3G works great. Wifi needs to be shut off and turned back on all the time to work correctly. Is anyone else having the same issues?
Nope, did you check you wimax keys? There is an app in the market to check or maybe you have a bad download

Problem with browser loading page fully
For some reason, no matter if I am on WiFi, 3g or 4g, the browser fails to fully load webpages with a LOT of content.... puzzling.
Based on your original comment, I can't really tell if you mean that it doesn't work when you're browsing, or if you mean it's just not grabbing an IP from sprint or what. I'm going to assume that you're experiencing issues with browsing though after your phone is connected to 4G and showing that it has a 4G signal.
Myn botched the adblock feature in his ROM. You'll have to restore the hosts file if you haven't already. The browser will partially load pages or lock up on sites with flash ads because of this. Grab AdFree (it's free) and tap "Revert". That should restore the hosts file. You can then use the program to block ads effectively.

I did the adfree fix last week or something like that when I think everyone was having issues with it. For some reason though 4G will say I have signal and then take forever to load or never completely load at all but if I shut it off 3G works great.
My wifi seems like it just turns off after a little while but says I still have a signal. If I turn off the toggle and turn it back on it works fine again. It's just annoying.
I'm thinking of switching roms but I just don't know which one to go to. I have really liked myn's rom and am not sure what else is good.

Good news is you have your RSA keys, you might want to back them up in case you do end up switching around ROMs and flashing radio updates and such.
There could be several things going on here, so it's hard to give you a good direction to go in. Are you maybe using a custom kernel? Have you updated your WiMax and other radios? Maybe try flashing back to the rooted version of the stock ROM, and grab the latest software/radio updates.
Here's the latest rooted stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874251
Here's the latest software/radio updates*: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
*Probably don't want to update HBOOT, it's not included in the Combo link, so you're safe grabbing that. Also, some people have said that the PRI/NV 1.90 have been giving them ****ty battery life, 1.77 should be fine if you notice this.
Anyway, my recommendation for now is to just get everything back to scratch. Check and see if the 4G works after that. If it does, maybe it was the ROM or some kind of kernel you were using (if any). If it doesn't work still, your area might just be having 4G issues right now. I don't know where your area is, but if you're on the cusp of 4G deployment, it may only work sometimes. I know here in Minneapolis before deployment was official, it would work in isolated areas. Then all of a sudden, the signal would be there and I wouldn't be able to connect. I would just get an "Obtaining IP address from Sprint" message and it'd stick there. Couple of weeks later, it started working again.

I'll try that thanks.
I updated all of the radios and everything the directions on Myn's RLS5 said to do.
I'm in Nashville and only get 4G in certain areas so it's not a huge deal. It would be cool if it worked correctly though. I just wasn't sure if it was the rom or not.
I haven't changed kernels, I'm just using the one that comes with RLS5 but I do get really ****ty battery life.
OK.. another plea for help!
I flashed MikFroyo 4.5. It was easier than I thought!
I didn't flash a new Kernel though.. I'm sticking with the stock one (for now)
OK.. my new problem is that I can't get MikMarket to work right.
I've found some solutions that I've tried and nothing's really nailing it down for me.
I'm getting a network error from mikmarket, facebook, ymail, twitter, etc..
I am connected to my wifi network and I can't for the life of me find any answers.
Anybody have any ideas??
After more tinkering.. I turned OFF my wi-fi, and began downloading via the sprint airwaves... everything works.
I mean everything! So I'm downloading my apps while it's working then I'll turn on wi-fi after!
If this is a quirk.. I can live with it!
Been also downloading apps from market website..

Do you have any data working at all?! It sounds like you don't. Does the same thing happen if you connect to 3g or 4g, instead of the wifi network you're using? I'm not too familiar with Mik's roms, so I'm not sure if there are any known issues or fixes with it. I'd also update your profile and prl, if you haven't already, althouth that shouldn't affect anything when on wifi anyways, but it's still a good idea after flashing a new rom. Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom? Try doing a battery pull?
My MikMarket isn't working either...sort of.
It changed the name of the app to "Market" and doesn't have the skin anymore. Just looks like the stock one. But it does function perfectly fine. I don't know what could have cause that though.
my mikmarket is not working either
sometime during dinner my phone gave me a error message. and both facebook and market stopped workin and deleted it. cant seem to get it up and running.
I started installing my apps via market.android.com
I had my wifi on and apps were getting pushed onto my evo. everything worked, and quickly.
I turned off the wifi, and forced 3G mode to do the transferring. It responded and quite fast too.
I tried mikmarket again and it started to work, I downloaded a few apps and then I started to get force closing.
Nothing seemed to want to work, so I put the phone back on the charger, went to bed. next morning.. mikmarket is gone, it's now Market.
Everything looked like it used to in Market.
And.. everything started to work. Market cooperated, wi-fi cooperates with market and internet, and so far everything seems to be meshing together.
I want to say it's because i let it synchronize overnite and everything meshed.
I did do the battery pull, pri/prl updating as well. I dunno if it helped or not.
But I like the MikFroyo and am so glad I took the plunge.. not like I didn't have a choice.. my 2.1 was starting to make life difficult!
I tried cyanogen 7 and it looked awesome! my problem with it was for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get it sync with my gmail contacts.
If I would've been able to find it.. I might've stuck with it..

The market auto-updates. I've heard you can freeze or delete "market updater", but then you don't have whatever new features, fixes, or security enhancements they've pushed out in the new market. Maybe that's ok, maybe not. I'd rather have the latest than have the theme.
yeah, first thing i accomplished successfully tho not without a lot of wiping an rewiping and installing and reinstalling stuff, was unlocking the phone, then i put in the aio and it did it's thing on it's own and connected wonderfully. first time trying to go back to tmob, it started this misconnection issue. it's basically intermittent closer to non operational, tho i did get a random text tonight from a friend i was unable to respond to, because im like kinda connected for a sec, sometimes i'll see the opposing 4g arrows working in the notification area, but not long enough to get info set in the apn settings, you know where i'm talking about. half of those settings work only when you have a signal, for ex. i do the manual part correctly, hit the save apn button ... nothing saves, nothing happens better after that.
i bet you i need to update that radio huh? just tried to flash a newer rom and it said no because my radio was too old. i could have sworn my stock rom, which is supposed to be the latest... which maybe was old right? its in the threads here, first stock you'll find. probably that rom was cool with the uvle1... confusing stuff. okay, til someone answers otherwise i'm just gonna keep trying to update this radio. i guess it is only good now for unlocking...
okay, so i just flashed jedi mind trick which updated the radio, but the stock rom didn't. so does that mean that some roms will not touch the radio while others will? and what was wrong with the radio before? was it made to work only for the associated older versions of android?
