Hello,
Hope to get some help on this. I've got an Inc rooted with CM7 build # 29. Using the built in tethering with windows 7, I get a lot of strange behavior. Everything shows like it's connected, but some web pages fail to load, or if i'm downloading a large file it quits a fraction of the way into the download. If i refresh a few times it may start again like nothing and actually quite fast. But this only seems to work in short bursts and then quits again.
I've searched all over the forums only to find solutions pointing to PDA net or some other app. I feel this is not a proper fix though since the native tethering is supposed to be better and everybody says with root you do not need a paid app for accesing secure sites.
Maybe the fix is buried somewere in the older threads and someone can point me out to it. Anyways any help is appreciated and thanks all ahead of time.

Hey,
I've been experiencing this issue as well, except I had it tethered to my iPad. It said I didn't have an Internet connection when I loaded up a page in Safari. Perhaps it's because I've installed a different kernel? I cannot seem to find the cause of this issue.

Haven't tried tethering on CM7, but I had the same problem on the rooted stock rom with wifi-tether app.
Try "wireless tether for root users" from the market or google it. It works well for me most of the time.

ok, so while best buy was activating my phone (which took a litle shy of 3 hours) , they updated the firmware or the software (whatever it is that was updating at the time). when i had a touch pro 2 i rellied heavily on xda-wifi program to provide internet to my laptop. am i screwed now that best buy updated my phone? how can i get my phone to provide wifi to my laptop? i am in the dark, and even tho i love the evo's speed it still does not compare to a laptop and what it can do. Please help. i feel like if i am in the dark ages without wifi hotspot.
Like the hero when it first came out, wifi tethering in it's classic form doesn't work yet. HOWEVER: Go enable your sprint hotspot app...I believe I heard that haven't locked it down yet so even though you're not paying for the service, it should work in a pinch.
I seen i lot of this going on at best buy while i was waiting in line. They didnt get to mine though.
hmm ill try it, im guessing using the sprint hotspot "free" until they fix it will be uncapped huh?
but now that they updated me, am i going to be able to root? i saw a few post that people were able to get wifitethering after root but it was kinda of tricky.
i, for one dont mind the sprint tv, navigation and other sprint stuff. i actually enjoy using them (i mean im paying for em right?). but i would like a program like xda-wifi (the one i had on my tp2) where all i had to do was run the cab and it installed the program.
is there anything out there now where i can use the wifitethering abilities of the phone while keeping my rom "LIKE" stock with all programs that came out the box?

when i go to sprint hotspot and check the sprint mobile hotspot it gives me "error code 67. Registration failure. your pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again"
The (temporary) free hotspot only works on 4G.
ah, that would make sense...seeing as how im in boston and 4g not getting here till 4th quarter 2010...this is insane...what do i do now in order to provide my laptop with internet from my phone? if someone could help me with the root or something. but my phone is updated, can i even do it now?

I don't live in a 4G area. Last night I was able to tether my HERO, my iTouch (I know), my wife's PRE, and my laptop. But today, I get the "error code 67". Darn it!
You can root ur phone after the OTA if you go to http://unrevoked.com/m from your phone browser and download the .apk, then run it... seemed to work pretty good for me at least it appears I'm rooted now (I couldn't get wifi tether to work tho)
On a side note...anyone else use this method or know if this is safe and/or from a trusted source? I usually stick to XDA for mod stuff, I just happened to run across this, this morning someone on Twitter posted it
EDIT: I see the other thread, nvm

the only reason i would root is to get access to get access to wifi tether, otherwise i have no reason to root (im not into removing apps and stuff).
what other threat did you see that had to do with my issue?
the updates started the moment she activated my phone. saw the word 'firmware' and yelled "NO!", reached over her shoulder and hit cancel.
Hope so because my friend was testing my phone and when he gave it back it was doing the update. He told me there was an update available, but he made it seem like it was an update in the market place! Now qik force closes overtime I open it.

This just happened about 24 hours ago to me. i noticed it says "unable to start wifi" also i think that affected my wireless tether.
My phone has the simple root done to it. I have Astro File Manager, ROM Manager, and like i said before i did the simple root with Unrevoked3. i am a mac user, i dont know if this second paragraph of information helps.
What should i do? should i just wait for the update to 2.2 that is supposed to be updated to my phone sometime soon? i tried restoring from an old backup and also tried to do a full system clean as well but still same thing. I am a newbie to this but i feel as though i have somewhat of a grasp on this.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated
You guys sure keep the mods busy around here.

that suggestion didnt help
I feel your pain, most responses around here aren't helpful... just negative... you'd think that if someone took the time to reply they'd just share... typical forum behavior though.
I can’t seem to find a clear answer on this… some say it works, others say it’s broke.
*watching in hopes someone can help*
yeah i am just hoping i get the 2.2 update soon and it fixes it. so i am guess i am gonna have to wait until then and then take it from there. unless someone has some ground breaking suggestion. cause, i've been looking around and it seems like this is a problem thats been occurring as of recently.

I have sky raider 2.5.2 and my wifi keeps trying to connect then obtain ip address then disconnects and keeps trying all over again why please?
so since nobody gave me any good feedback i decided to take on the task like a blank canvas.
Step 1: Reinstalled original Kernel
step 2: Full Data/Cache Wipe
step 3: reuploaded all of my data from last backup...
it appears everything is working fine.WIFI works great!!! I need to double check wifi tethering though. if anyone is interested i can repost if tethering is working.
Hi,
I tried looking at the search results but couldn't find anything to help with this.
I recently followed this guide: How I tweak, mod and hack my Defy and went through every step as detailed, no problems.
I've recently noticed that Market doesn't work. When I try and load it up it comes up with the Terms of Use page, but it never loads. The Market app still shows in my applications draw, but when I go to Settings > Applications > Manage. I don't see Market there?
Could someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
I had the same problem
Im guessing your connected with wifi?
I was stuck with loading screen for terms of usage aswell using wifi
but with 3g connection i got past that loading screen and market began to work,
only had to do it once ...from there on it works with wi-fi
(PS: if from that point on u use factory reset, ull have to do that again)
Same for me. Just use your 3G connection to get started. Should start up market.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Thanks, it seems like a common problem every time I root the phone. I am now using the 3.4.2 ROM and I had the same problem, but for some reason Android Market now works fine after accepting the TOS with 3G. It's kinda weird. meh
Cheers
Hi Guys, I'm running Warm 2.2 on an EVO first edition (bought the day it was released) and lately I've been getting this really annoying lag problem with the internet browser.
This happens in all browser, the default android browser, firefox and dolphin but doesn't really happen with other internet applications, so I'm thinking it's a port 80 problem perhaps..
Basically - websites take a very long time to load, doesn't matter if i'm on Wifi, 4G or 3G, the site will start to load just fine, advance to about 30%, and then get stuck there for around a minute. It will eventually continue and load just find, but that lag makes it completely unusable. This happens on ANY website. Though you feel it less on sites that are optimized for mobile since they require less data transfer.
Has anybody seen this before? is this a common thing? what do you think the solution is?
Any help would be appreciated
It happens to me too, way too often over 4G. I think it has to do with Adfree, do you have it installed?

It's a known issue, and has been covered many times in Myn's gigantic thread. Anyways, download the app 'ad-free' from the market. Open that app, and hit the big button that says 'revert'. Then reboot the phone. That will revert your hosts files (your internet stalls because Myn's has ad free hosts files cooked into the rom, to get rid of adds, and they are out of date, causing the browser to stall). Once you hit revert, your internet will be normal again, but you'll have adds.. If you don't want adds, go back into the ad free app, and hit 'download hosts files' or whatever the other button is. Then reboot. That should take care of it! FWIW, ad free always breaks my browser on 4g, with whatever rom i use. Not everyone reports that, but it's my experience. So i just don't bother blocking ads anymore, and have full speed browser.

Ditto buckley. Once I revert back I just go ahead and don't block them and it runs fine for me. I would suggest doing this also

I don't know if this is an issue with the new OS but it seems that we cannot run tethering apps (rooted). specifically it is the WEXT (ad-hoc) function... Which as far as I can tell is the way it broadcasts to other computers. Please don't respond telling me to use "foxfi" or some other "non-rooted" app. The reason we use the rooted ability is to be able to bypass the network hoops and use a "backdoor" to get what's rightfully ours. The function of teather ring was working fine on the pervious jellybean OS so it goes to say that someone just needs to fix this bug. Please help

I guy offered up a fix and signed it with his developer key here: code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c109 (can't link it since I'm new)
It'll tide you over until they officially fix it in the Play Store.
It's near perfect (laptop connects and gets out fine, but my Vita connects and cannot get out... to the internet).
OK I'm a dummy at this point. I downloaded the patch ( from user pfnguyen on post #109) its a ".man" file..? Not sure what to do with this... Am I going in the right direction?

There's an actual file there. Use your browser's search function to look for ".apk".
If you're a Sprint user, it won't work. Look for WiFi Tether Router in the Play Store. I'm using that now and it works fine.

I have similar issue with vzw gnex
I tired Mwalt2s method of disabling native tether check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176954
But I still get errors on startup of wifi tether. Does the above instructions apply to vzw as well?
Thanks,

OK so this download form "pfnguyen" in the "TrevE Mod" which I already had. So how does one get this thing to work? The phone is verizon so I don't know if that makes a diff. There are a lot of settings on this app and I really have no idea what they really mean. Really... I'm dumb when it comes to this so you're gonna have to draw it out in crayon for me
