[Q] Wireless Tether 3G Issues - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched XDA and SDX to no avail. I seem to have opposite problem of everyone else in that Wireless Tether (2.0.5-pre8) will only work on 4G, and not 3G. When I try to connect over 3G, the network appears on my PC and I’ll get notification that network is connected, but it doesn’t actually connect to the internet. After a few seconds an error will pop up over PC network icon reading “No Internet Access.” Tether works flawlessly over 4G however.
This is my current setup:
Latest Build: 3.30.651.3 rooted odexed
Kernel: [email protected] 18-2 #17
Latest Radio, WIMAX, PRL,PRI
I have tried almost all of the different versions of Wireless Tether with the same results. And I know WT used to work over 3G, but I have flashed so many different ROMS/kernels I don’t remember which setup allowed this.
Native Hotspot app shows 67 registration failure over both 3G and 4G

have you tried the pre13 release? pre8 is old
wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre13.apk,
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre13.apk&can=2&q=Evo

Yeah, that's one of the versions I already tried w/same results. I suspect problem lies not in tethering app, but somewhere in my phone.

when your computer is connected and showing no internet access does your phone have access at that time?
are you using juice defender?

Try Calkulin's USB tether fix. You can look it up here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ghlight=Calkulin's+USB+tether+fix#post8795414
post #356 or download it here
http://www.mediafire.com/file/4y1l9c6ydg7027r/Calkulin's_EVO_2.2_USB_Tethering_Fix.zip

I do run Juice Defender, but have disabled it with same result. As far as phone still having connection while PC does not, I haven't checked that part yet. I'll check that tonight after work.
I thought Calkulins Tether fix was for deodexed ROMs only? That was going to be my next step, d/ling deodexed version of my existing ROM and applying this fix.
Is it possible latest HTC kernel is culprit? And this raises another question: I thought a modified kernel (with ip and binary files?) was necessary to run WT? How is it I'm able to tether through 4G on supposedly stock HTC kernel?
Here is link to current build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728

I just checked, and phone does still have 3G connection while PC does not,i.e., I can surf the net on native phone browser while PC cannot. It just shows "limited access" above PC wireless connection icon.

Thought I had it fixed; I was wrong.

You don't have user access control on blocking your pc?
Try the deodexed version wifi and then usb tether.
Have you tried custom roms or are purposely staying with 3.30.651.3 builds?

NOW I fixed it:
Restored Nandroid backup of earlier odexed 3.29.651.5 build with [email protected] #10 and WT works as it should on both 3G and 4G.
Hopefullly this thread will help anyone else experiencing similar with latest build and kernel.
Thanks to all who responded!

I have been having the exact same problems, so now im currently trying to find the 3.29.651.5 build with [email protected] #10 since i didn't do a backup.
It seems to be a problem with the stock 3.30.651.3 build.
(~-_-)~

I think this is the one I originally used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819838

Disregard Earlier This is the One
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699847
This ROM incorporates the latest Software version 3.29.651.5 with some developer applications (root, busybox and flash_image).
Updated kernel to 2.6.32-15-g0f673ed ([email protected] #10)
FWIW, I am using Wireless Tether 2.0.5-pre8 and am getting d/l speeds of 4-5 mb/s and u/l speeds of 1-1.2 mb/s over 4G on my PC, so I see no need to try a later version of WT.
YMMV, but if it works this well, why f**k with it?

But see my related post
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?action=profile;u=2063;area=showposts
I haven't been in area w/o 4G since latest tweaks, so I don't know if above will still break my 4G connectivity as described in above post. Just be sure to have a Nandroid b/u through Amon Ra 1.8 so you can restore your 4G if above breaks it.

Wireless Tether

Please help! All suggestions are welcome.
After flashing OMJ's 2.2 ROM on the first day of its release (knowing that wireless tether would not work), something has been preventing wireless tether from working in all ROMS.
I have tried everything I know (which is not much)... different combos of radios and wimaxes, several different ROMs (based off both 1.3x and 1.4x), different kernels... nothing can get it working.
I am guessing that there may be data somewhere that did not get wiped through recovery or through doing my nand restore.
Thanks!
There are a couple different updates for the Wireless Tether app floating around. Versions 2.0.5 pre 4, pre 5, and pre 6. I've had success with all of them varying by rom. Can't post the links right now, but some of the rom threads have them posted in the OP. You'll probably have to try each one til you find the one that works. One of them should.
[EDIT] I think there's a pre 7 also.

wireless hotspot for 3g works fine on cm6. it's a 2.2 aosp rom. no sense. don't ask about including sense. won't happen. 4g currently doesn't work, and i'm not sure that a 4g hotspot will, because sprint's implementing a MAC confirmation with 4g hotspot (they really wanna charge you 30 bucks a month for it).
but, 3g hotspot works fine on cm6 2.2. that's my point. that's all there is, don't ask for more.
other roms have 4g functioning, so i'd assume 4g hotspot works on those, if you pay for it.

I know pre7 works on my ROM and most other Froyo ROMs.
Pre7 only works on the HTC stock kernels iirc. If you're using an oc kernel please try the other versions listed of it doesn't work for you
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yea the pre 7 works, you can jus google it like i did
sorry that I did not make this clearer in the original post but I have indeed tried all of the different wireless apps (including pre 7) with a variety of ROMs and nothing is working.
The problem I am focusing on is that I originally had wireless tether working on fresh 1.01 (based off 1.47), I created a nand backup, flashed OMJ's 2.2 ROM, then when I restored back to the Fresh ROM my wireless tether was kaput.
None of the combinations of different version of the app, ROM, kernel, radio, and wimax (and I have probably tried 50+ unique combinations over the past week) have provided any working results.
I even went through the entire ROOT process again, and still nothing is working.
EDIT: What I'm trying to emphasize here is that once I flashed a 2.2 ROM wireless tether stopped working on ALL ROMs... even the 1.3x and 1.4x based ROMs
I have the same problem... the program starts just fine but the download data amount gets stuck at . 4 and my laptop can't find the connection at all. Had OJ Rom and now running latest version of fresh... please help!

Well I installed the pre-8 version of wireless tether and it worked one night and then I had the same problem... I'm using easy tether now until I can get this thing working again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Two weeks later and I still have not solved this... any help?
Wireless Tether is working fine for me.Fresh 3.0.1 w/Netarchy Kernel 4.0.3 and pre-8 tether .apk
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I understand that for nearly everybody wireless tether IS working. However, given the ludicrous number of combinations I have tried, including everybody's latest and greatest app/ROM/kernel it is safe to say that my problem does not lie in the use of something out of date.
I need NEW suggestions from someone way more experienced than myself.
pretty weird - mine has worked on every rom I've tried.
have you tried CM6?
Also where exactly are you getting stuck?
im having the same problem tried pre 8 now 7 both say activating wifi interface failed, starting access point -failed,
Tether working fine, except I can't watch espn videos for some reason.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
try this maybe
Had the issue after running ava v3.
Wipe everything, data cash, dalvik. Dont flash your previous radios or wimaxs, they arent for froyo. Once everything is wiped flash your new rom. Evio 1.1 works great. When you open wifi tether, it should ask you for user permission, if it doesnt somethig is wrong with your su app.
We need more details about your issue. Otherwise all anyone can suggest is wipe everything and flash another rom and try runnig the app. Or like someone else suggested uninstall and reinstall verious versions. But the first time you run wifi tether super user should pop up, if it doesnt this is what is preventing u from running wifi tether.
I'm sorry I did not specify exactly what was happening, but I thought that since this was a well known error for the early adopters of 2.2 people would be familiar with the nature of my problem.
When I put ANY rom on my evo (regardless of whether it's 2.1 based or 2.2) my wireless tether program does not send data. The app itself works fine (gets SU request), creates a network, it just doesn't transmit data because of the authentication Sprint worked into froyo.
My UNIQUE problem, is that this problem persists even when not using those early 2.2 roms. I have tried HUNDREDS of variations of radios/wimax/app editions/ROMs/kernels (including the latest releases) and it does not matter what I do, when I start up wireless tether it stops at .4kb and will not transmit the connection to my computer.
I have gone beyond wiping all of my data (through amon recovery), I even went back tot he 1.3x RUU and went through the whole root process AGAIN and still the problem persists.
There is something on this phone that the data wipes are not removing that is blocking this function, and I do not know how to revert it back. PLEASE HELP.
ive got mine working but its alot slower then even dialup..tried 7 and 8 and same results with both.. Tried on the AC rom and a stock rooted here (using a stock rooted off this forum which the op says works fine for him ...

[Q] Need Wifi tethering in "infrastructure" mode

Ok i realize from my research that the stock kernel on the HTC incredible doesn't support wifi tethering in infrastructure mode, only ad-hoc.
I swear i had it working at one point, but now can't seem to get it to work with my ipad "unsupported network" as well as my work computer when at the airports because of an IT security policy put in place.
Lastly I also installed the latest skyraider rom without the leaked radio (2.x)
Questoins:
1. What kernel can i use to get wifi tethering working in "infrastructure mode"?
2. I thought the skyraider rom would do this?
3. Are kernel and Radio the same thing?
Thanks,
ej_424
1. It doesn't matter, download the 2.0.5-pre7 or higher release at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
2. The ability to tether is not ROM-dependent
3. No
Seems to be working thanks. I went there before, and had the latest release with no luck. Is there a way to tell on the tether app if its in infrastructure mode vs ad-hoc?
thanks again,
ej_424

Wifi Teather Problem

I installed HTC EVO 3.70.651.1 ROM Root and now my WiFi teather is not working right. When I connect it to my laptop or iPod it shows up but when I go to browse it states it has no internet connection. Then When trying to reconnect to my home network. I cant even do that. I have to reset my router. How can I get my phone to teather correctly again?

Do you mean you applied the OTA update or you flashed a ROM running 3.70? If you accepted the update OTA then you're no longer rooted and WiFi Tether will no longer work.
I installed a rooted version of the ROM. not the stock one
try the latest WiFi tether from here.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
if that don't work, you will have to install a custom kernel for it to work.
Hey thanks! That newer version seems to have done the trick.

[Q] HELP: 4G + Wireless Tether, Syndicate Frozen 1.1.1, failed to enable NAT?

Epic 4g - running Froyo EC05 + SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.1 (Hajime-taisho) by ACS.
I absent mindedly turned on my Wireless Tether while my 4G was on, Now when I try to turn on my wireless tether the error log says:
Enabling NAT rules...failed
Access Control...failed
And I dont see my SSID on my available wireless networks and cannot connect to wireless tether from my computer.
I flashed & restored from a back up I made in clockwork before this happened, but it is still coming up with errors. I tried using a different tethering app, also failed.
It probably has something to do with this:
POST 5 (click here)
Yes, I did read this before, but I completely forgot today and now I cant get it to work.
Any and all help is much appreciated. Thanks.
