keeping mobile broadband connect

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.

[Q] Wireless Tether 3G Issues

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.

2.13.707.2 upgrade but wifi problem

this morning, when i connected to the wifi, my desire got a OTA update notification. i accept it and the patch download really fast. after the poweoff, install and reboot, the system upgrade from 2.13.707.1 to 2.13.707.2.
The wifi connected perfectly as soon as the phone booted. but when i open the browser, it tell me something like 'error...check network setting'. then i go to the market, also get a network problem
what the hell... everything works fine but the wifi, and i have no idea about what the problem is, since i just upgrade the phone with wifi a few minutes ago! anybody knows why? my rom is htc stock rom.
thx

No problems for me after the upgrade. Upgraded using wifi and still using wifi.

do i have to back up my files before doing this update?

[Q] Rooted wifi tether stopped working?

Hi guys,
The first thing I did when I got my Nexus is root the phone and install the wireless tether for root users. It worked fine the first few times I ran it, but now whenever I hit start tether it starts up and mentions I should check the error log. At this point the tether has failed to broadcast a network even though the app thinks it's working, and everything is ok in the error log except these 3 steps:
Setting ad-hoc mode
Setting essid
Setting channel
These 3 flag as failed, I have tried other wifi tethering apps and get basically the same result where they won't start up or they start but fail to broadcast.
My wifi works fine, I can connect to networks via wifi without any issues, but I'm really stumped as to why the tethering has stopped working.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm running the stock ROM still as root while I wait for a good port of the forthcoming CM9, so if someone wants to suggest a stable, fully working ROM to flash in the meantime that's fine too

An update, I flashed a couple of different roms and this issue has now persisted accross all of them. Nobody has any experience with the same problem?

do you have the most recent version of wifi tether?

As far as I'm aware yes, it is also failing to work with other wifi tethers (have tried barnacle tether which does exactly the same thing)
I'm starting to think it might be hardware somehow, but other than this the wifi works fine for connecting to networks.

WiFi tether for SPRINT with Android 4.1.2

I just got my Galaxy S2 SPH-D710. I rooted it with ODIN and the downloaded Rooted Stock Firmware. It is now 4.1.2.
I have been trying to get WiFi tether to work. I have tried the following with no luck;
1-Click WiFi tether
PDA net (FoxFi) - would get ip address from phone but no data connection to internet
and WiFi tether for root users - could not get a ip address from phone. Maybe I am using the wrong Device-Profile. (Itried a bunch of them)
What am I missing?
Thanks
Bill

I used WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012 as it was the latest build I could find. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390195663897100312
Worked right out of box. No configuring needed. Now to do some testing with it.
