Hi guys,
since two days ago I'm not be able to use anymore the hotspot function of my desire if I try to connect with a pc with windows xp (I've tried with 3 different pc and all of them stuck when they try to acquire the ip address from the desire, resulting after 1 minute in a message "connection has limited access" or something similar, sorry but it's written in Italian and I do not know exactly the english translation).
If I try to connect to the desire with a laptop in which vista is installed, the connection works properly.
I do not know if it could be a useful information, if I enable on the desire the password for the connection, all the laptops with xp are not able to understand the a password is required.
Please note that till 2 days ago I was using daily the hotspot function on my laptop with xp and I've never had a problem, always connecting at the first attempt.
Do you have any idea about which could be the cause of the problem?
Regards,
Nicola
Are you trying to connect to the Desire with WPA2 security? If so XP has issues with that, try without any sort of security.

No, if I set some security options it does not work, I tried with no password and no way....

UPDATE: since my desire is rooted via unrevoked 3.2, I made a full backup of the phone with the recovery mode, then I wiped all data and I tried the hotspot function before reapplying the backup, and it worked well also with xp!
Then I reinstall the backup and it stopped again.
Now the point is, it should be an application that has modified in someway the system settings?
Working here without issues,
rooted desire with stock official HTC 2.10.405.2 OTA update
connecting to Windows XP with WPA/TKIP security

Finally I got hotspot wi-fi function working as usual on windows xp too, I made an hard reset and re-installed all the application, one by one.
Every time I installed an application I checked if the hotspot was still working and I made a full backup, just in case.
Till now I've note yet found which program has caused the problem...

I am working on a my first incredible rom, and I'm running into a problem with mobile broadband connect. it doesn't work. I am working off the stock image from htc using dsixdas kitchen. Even without modifying anything inside, I lose my broadband connect.
My question is, what am I missing that's preventing mobile broadband to work.
PS, mobile broadband connect doesn't work on any other roms I've tried either.
better question is why do you want this to work? after all when your in root you get the free wifi tether.. just saying...
I want it because my company pays for it. I use it in my car because I have an in car pc, and wi-fi tether and pda net are not as reliable as the legit broadband connect.
For example, on the 3 hour trip to my in laws, which I take the same route every time, I usually stream a netflix movie for my wife and kid, and with VZ access manager using broadband connect, I have reliable internet for 90% of the trip, but when using wi-fi tether, or pda net, it's maybe 50% of the trip, they just don't seem to hold the data connection very well.
Also, it's the ethics of it, I am using a service, I will pay for that service. Especially since I use it for business as well, I prefer following the rules.

1. did you have it working with the stock ROM?
2. have you tried creating a dial-up connection using #777 as the number,
your 10 digit phone [email protected] (or @dun.vzw3g.com) as the username, and vzw as the password?
I am not sure if you need to use the @dun.zvw3g.com if you haven't edited the DUN number in EPST
1) Yes, it works fine with the stock rom
2) can't get a dial up connection to work at all, even with the stock rom.

have you ever installed pdanet on the computer you are trying to use?
the reason I ask is because I used it once with my incredible and I was not able to use any other method of connecting, (dial-up or vzaccess manager) I uninstalled it and was still having the problem, it wouldn't even work after manually reinstalling the modem drivers for it, I ultimately had to do a system restore to before I installed the program before I was able to connect using either of the other two methods. I have never used pdanet after that.

I don't think that's the problem. Because If I restore the phone back to the original stock rom, VZ acess manager works fine, even with pda net installed on the computer. There are 2 different profiles in the connection manager, one for pda net modem, and one for verizon dial up modem.
The error I'm getting says the modem is already in use or set up wrong. I've tried unninstalling everything and re-installing on the computer, but I definately think the problem is phone side, not computer side, because as I said, I can restore the stock rom, and everything works fine.
Hello!
I've been searching for a long time about this issue but I haven't found aan answer...
I have a rooted GN with original rom and recovery. Yesterday I wiped the phone and now I'm not able to connect to any wifi network.
The phone is always "obtaining ip...". And that's all.
I also have a Nexus S and one computer connected to my wifi and they are working fine.
I also tried to connect to another wifi and the result was the same..
Before yesterday I had no problem, even with the phone rooted.
My android version is 4.2.2.
I tried to reset my router (Netgear), tried all security options (open, wep, wap2, etc).
I have no mac filter... I think I already tried all the "logic" options but I always get the same
I start thinking the problem can be android 4.2but I don't know what is whatt I'm doing wrong.
Thank in advance for any help!
Best regards
Flash a factory build to your device to isolate it as software related.
I had a similar issue with a tplink router, now i have a asus and the issues are gone.

I downgraded to android 4.1 build factory and works. thanks
That's an odd problem.
You already downgraded, so there is no scope for trouble shooting.

I have a Singapore release of the One M8 and last night I ran the lollipop OTA. The install went fine with no problems but for some reason today tethering is no longer working. I've tried both wifi and usb tether on multiple computers with the same problem, that is it connects fine but there is no internet access. I've done a factory reset as well to no avail. I've also tried different APNs but didn't make any difference.
Anyone have any ideas?

Are you running any kind of firewall setup? I had an issue with tethering and UDP on lollipop. The solution was to switch to a blacklist.
I currently have the firewall turned off in Windows 8.

I actually meant on the phone. Android has iptables built in. However, I am guessing that is not your problem.
At this point, I have no idea, though.

I'm truly sorry to give you a bad news, but Lollipop by default disables tethering for networks that prohibit that (and believe me, more prohibit it than allow it - sometimes this info is very well hidden in contract).
I spent a long time trying to fix it, but with no luck.
Tethering works though with networks that allow it.
I fought with that after receiving Lollipop update to my NVIDIA SHIELD tablet - a total failure. Some folks reported that after rooting it helps one, simple modification of one config file. Let me know if you decide to root your phone, so I can give you some links. Google did block tethering on purpose - the have to play nicely with network operators, right? The trick is with packet's TTL - all you get on your connected device is timeout errors.
I won't tell you more details on that because I gave up - I didn't want to root my tablet.
But don't seek errors in your PC/whatever you want to connect to your Lollipop-based access point - it ain't gonna work.
P.S. Play Store apps that don't require root and are marketed as problem solvers don't work as well. The only way is root...
My carrier doesn't block tethering. It worked fine before the update and I also checked with my carrier and tethering is permitted.
I don't mind rooting so please post the links you are referring to.

Someone have the procedure to root it with Lollipop again?

I couldnt be able to get pass the wifi opening set up it says authentication problem, I tried several wifi devices but it just can't connect through. It was happen after when i change its mac address. The story there is, i change my mac address because one of our neighbor's wifi seems always blocking my mac address so i really need to have or change it into a new one so i could connect to their wifi again, at the first place it worked smoothly as if everything is not screwd (here is the directory/path ive changed "/persist/wifi/.mcadress" then i edited the values) running kitkat version 4.4.4 ktup8. So this morning i decided to wipe its data and cache and it booted but now i cannot connect to any wifi im stuck in the opening set up, tried also reverting to another stock rom 6.0.1 marshmallow still the problem exist and i can still see the mcaddress it still not change to the default one even though i reflashed it into a different firmware. Please i dont want to lose my tablet im begging you guys. And Iam so careless that I dont have any a nandroid back up or please anyone could give me a file a nandroid back up so I could restore it using wugfresh toolkit. Please help me....
tldr; He was freeloading off his neighbor's wifi and the neighbor blocked him via his mac address. So he changed his mac address to get around it and the neighbor blocked that one too. Now he can't change it again and corrupted his network stack in the process.

Hi folks,
I upgraded my N7100 a couple of weeks ago to rr-n-5.8.x. I then used the built-in upgrade function and I'm currently running RR-N-5.8.5-20171206-n7100-Final. The new ROM seems to be working well but has two notable problems:
1. When I plug into USB, Windows recognises the phone, opens Explorer but neither files nor folders are visible.
2. I'm unable to connect to the PEAP wifi network at my university.
3. (Before I updated to 5.8.5, it seemed that the phone couldn't talk to the GPS. I haven't tested my nav software since I updated.)
I previously ran a custom ROM for several years without trouble and I'm using the same USB cables and ports as I have been for over a year so I'm confident that the cables and ports are fine.
My phone can connect to WPA2 networks without a problem and I was able to connect to uni wifi prior to the upgrade to RR. My laptop connects to the uni wifi so I know that my login/password are OK.
Any ideas why I'm having these problems? Would I be best to switch to a different ROM? I don't do much with my phone but GPS, USB file access and uni wifi are essential for me.
Thanks!

Try updating your bootloader and modem.

Thanks for the suggestion. Are you able to point me in the direction of those files? I've had a dig around XDA but the one bootloader thread I found has dead links.

This should work for most of the world, if you're American then you need to find a different one

Thanks for the link. I've flashed those up. Looks like my USB problem was just that I had it set to 'charge only' mode, not file transfer. So that's fixed! Heading in to uni soon so I'll get to test if the new BL/CP helped get the wifi running.
No change on the WIFI, sadly.
