Hey all, so I recently switched from a 1.47-based back snack to the newest froyo-based baked-snack and/or fresh and since then my wireless tether has gone the way of the dodo. Wireless tether seems to be launching and broadcasting but is not allowing connections from PC/MAC laptops (tried both). I've additionally tried the most recent FRESH ROM as well as the stock netarchy build and in all cases I can't get any connections from other computers (I don't even get the request or notification of an attempt to connect in wireless tether) As far as I can tell I don't have a MAC address issue of any sort.
Any ideas?
Wifi and 3G seem to be functioning fully, as well as everything else I've tested.

Seems to me a developer's section would be the appropriate place to post if I am having a recurring permanent problem post-installation of a developer's ROM.
-Just checking to see if anyone else might have seen this same problem, post ROM.

I have tether working on calkulin evio rom. Test different versions,v visit the developers page. Pre 2 seems to be working best imo.

Haven't heard of this issue. You said you're running the netchary kernel on fresh right? What version of wireless tether are you running?
Thanks gmaine. I've tried both the Pre 2 that came with the backed snack rom and whatever version came with Fresh, and both had the same problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling whatever the current version is in the marketplace as well didn't work. It feels more and more like a hardware issue, though nothing else is funky at the moment.
Am currently running the netarchy update froyo kernel and have tried new and old version of wireless tether.
Try uninstalling the current tether app and using this one.
I'm running fresh 3.1.0.1 and using pre 7 of wireless tether and having no problems. Try uninstalling what you have now and install pre 7 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo
am installing, etc, now.

The you should probably post in that specific ROM's thread.
for the netarchy kernel many are using Pre6. Some ROM's require the new Pre7.
Pre7 works on the Stock netarchy build for me and is mentioned several times in that thread.

Totally agree with you on that one, but didn't get my answer after a few days and tens of pages of posts later.--So of course, that was the first route I went. (Everyone seemed to busy arguing about PRI downgrades, but I digress.)
Anyways, the .apk that was just linked works, although I'm really not seeing the difference between it and the marketplace wireless tether and reinstallation. Either way, things are working now, thanks for those of you with constuctive advice!

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,

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.

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?
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?

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.
I had Wireless Tether 2.0.5 and 2.0.6 working without issue. I updated to 2.0.7 via market update and now it will not work. My laptop see's the network but will not gain internet access. I also noticed that while upload keeps going, download gets stuck at .4kB total.
I have tried on my computer using Windows 7 ultimate 64, ubuntu 10.10 x64, and PS3. All 3 see the network but cannot gain internet access. I also tried version of Wireless Tehter ranging from 2.0.5 stable to 2.0.8 experimental. All versions act the same.
Any ideas why im having issues, looking in the apps log it appears everything is fine.
Ive tried it open network and secured as well as access control on/off. none of the settings seem to effect this. Thanks.
Edit: the only change ive made since it last worked that i can think may have affected this was updating kernel from my sig to 4.3.4

Well, I would try one of two things, or just both. You said it started right after you updated the wireless tether app? I would try rolling back to the last version that was working. You can go to menu>settings>applications>manage applications> then find the wireless tether app. Once you select it, there should be a button that says 'uninstall updates'. Hit that, and it will revert youb ack to the last version. Also, you noted that you also changed kernels. I have had certain kernels break my ability to tether for some reason or another. No idea why. You could also try going to the previous kernel you were on.
Unfortunately I don't the rollback is an option tho ill look into it. As for the kernel I'm beginning to think maybe that was the culprit but ill have to wait til tomorrow to change back.

As previously stated, you may have to change the kernel, because not all are compatible with it. And also when connecting, it can take 1-3 minutes before can "connect" with data when using the wireless tether/hotspot.
Found a solution to my problem here.

Not sure if this belongs in the ROM specific category or what..
Rooted using Revolutionary and flashed Synergy RLS 1 whilst on vacation. Today is first day back at work and cannot get wireless tether to pass data. Will connect using stock app included with rom, or barnacle, or open garden.
Have tried switching my network type to adhoc strictly, or access point.
I had barnacle working fine, but I had hardware issues with my old evo ( the usual, bad speaker, bad micro usb port, battery life started to suck). So I unrooted, sent it back, rooted the new one, and I can't get any wifi tether apps to pass data.
I did search the forum but could not hash out a clear solution....
I purchased easy tether pro; I guess I can use that via hardwire in the meantime....that's the way I was doing it before the usb port crapped out.
The stats:
Android 2.3.3
htc sense 2.1
pri 2.15_003
Kernel 2.6.35.10-gc0a661b
Help greatly appreciated. Apologies if I left out any info....

Have you tried to simply reload the rom. You may of just had a bad flash.... thats the first thing I would try if something is nothing working as it should
Try a different kernel, such as freedom
Sent from my nike hating evo!
Is it likely that *none* of the wifi tether products on the market are working on my device? I can understand if one works and one does not; I was running MIkFroyo and could not get wireless tether to fire there either. Barnacle, however, worked flawlessly.
How does one know if they had a bad flash?
Any other suggestions? Everything else seems to be working just fine; I'd rather not have to re-load all my apps....
I had the same problem with tether on 2.1 sense with HTC kernel. Flashing freedom v.9 fixed my issue.
You don't have to reload all your apps when flashing another kernel.

OK. I'm game for updating kernel. How do I do it?
The strange thing is that I have a dual boot netbook (xp and linux mint).
Wireless tether works fine with Mint.
For this reason, I was guessing it would have to be a network config issue with xp.
Wouldnt this be correct?
edit: solved. I have no idea how I did it, but it works now w/no reflash or kernel tweaks/updates. Weird.

I haven't been able to get my wifi tether working. I've searched for hours but most of the post aren't very recent. I've tried adjusting the settings to many different combinations as mentioned in three other posts. I'm on baseband MC2, JB 4.1.2 and have tried two roms...Swampmonster 2.2/2.3 and Macks Allstar 5.0, as well as using both my PC and laptop to connect. I've used the TrevE mods that come with both roms as well as a couple of apps from the play store.
The same thing happens with every attempt, I connect to the AP but don't get any connection to the internet...DNS server is not responding.
I've recently changed from big red over to sprint and have had my N2 for about a week now. Is this a Sprint thing or is it just my unfamiliarity with my Note 2?
Any help would be much appreciated. Dexter's on tonight.....
Also tried WolfRom and USB tethering, still no connectivity

It's been working for me, basically. I'm on a stock deoxided MC2 ROM with Perseus kernal. I get an error but I don't know what it is, since the log gives another error about no file existing. The error I had before trying to reinstall WiFi and BusyBox was a routing fix failed error.
I used this at work for at least six hours to connect a tablet and laptop. I figure I'm using around 2GB to 6GB each night.
Unfortunately, you're going to have to keep experimenting. I suggest trying with just the defaults settings. See what happens. If not, try changing Driver reloads or none. Unfortunately, it's just a lot of trial and error.

Sprint should be blocking you unless there is something off on your phone. My issue, I think, has to deal with the BusyBox Linux binary library that got loaded. I'm assuming maybe a phone wipe and reflash may fix it.
Yea, I'm near the wine valley, actually. Although, I prefer to be back in San Diego.
I installed Goodness Noteworthy v1.0.8 ROM and get good wifi tethering of 3G. I haven't tested 4G as I don't get it yet.
I'm just running stock rooted MC2 with updated CSC data (Garwyn's) and the separate TrevE version of the Wifi Tether APK works like a charm. My kids just used it on 3G and LTE all the way down I-95 in Florida. Sometimes it would boot them all off when switching from LTE to 3G, but they'd reconnect without issue.
Not sure if that helps you, other than I'm using the very latest MC2 OTA and maybe you're still using a ROM based on the leak? I'm not a dev, so if I'm talking out of my posterior just disregard!
Got it working
I'm still not sure why I had problems when nobody else did on the respective threads for the roms I mentioned above.
I did get it going though...For the touchwiz roms I had to run ISWAT tether unlocker while my tether was active (It's on the Play Store).
Right now I'm running LiquidSmooth's AOSP rom and the native tether works great. I've been bouncing back and forth between nandroid
backups; I like TW most of the time but when I want to tether or am looking for speed/responsiveness I switch over to AOSP.
Just to make sure, have you tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40234725
I flashed it on deodexed stock MC2 and it works great, even with tablets and an iPod Touch.
I got it working with Treve mod

Is the problem of wifi tether under AOSP rooms on this device totally insoluble?
I've never found an answer to it, only directions to fixing it under TouchWiz or vague changelog entries about having 'fixed wifi tether' on Carbon and such, which did no such thing.
Standard wifi tether app 3.3b2 fails to start an access point. TrevE mod claims to start fine in the app's log, but no access point shows up on a scan. The mobile hotspot function in system settings also starts up, and even let's devices connect, but there's no data transfer.
I understand that there's something bad going on with Samsung's release of wifi drivers, so I'm just hoping that someone somewhere has looked into this.
