[Q] Tethering not working -MetroPCS - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a HTC Evo which I flashed to metropcs. 1x data works perfectly on the device, but tethering does not. The computers I have tried connect to the wifi AP, but there is no connection. USB tether does not work either. I have tried multiple tethering apps to no avail. Is this a problem with metropcs, or with my android installation (cyanogenmod 6)
Thanks

Yes Metro CS does not allow tethering you were able before to root and get it to work but so slow why bother, they will black list your esn even after flashing it will not work now

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] 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.

USB Tethering-No Internet Access

I recently flashed AOKP on to my Rogers S III and everything is working fine with the exception of the USB tethering. Before on stock I was able to tether no problem, but now I never get internet access when I tether via. USB. Does anyone how to fix this issue?

[Q] Tethering stopped working

I've been tethering perfectly fine on Darthstalker rom but now i can't connect my computer to the internet. My computer identifies the phone but no internet. I then flashed Jedi-S4X rom and my tethering works again. Is this a problem with the rom or with t-mobile? Also I already used 13 GB of data.

PDANet WiFi Direct Hotspot not working?

I have an unlocked S9 on Verizon. I haven't used PDANet in a long time because my locked S6 blocked the hotspot. Now, the S9 appears to start the hotspot, but when I try to connect on my computer the connection always times out. I've tried multiple times. Am I missing something?
I am using PDANet just fine with S9 on Sprint. I found I have to use WPS to build the connection. Once the VPN is built via PDANet, it works just fine.
Flash the unlocked firmware in odin .
