Hi,
I am setting up a wifi router in my car. I will have a small network of devices. I want to be able to add my Epic 4g to this network and use it as an internet gateway.
I have wifi tether installed and it works wonderfully, however I don't want my car network to depend on the phone as the wifi hotspot. I need the network to function if the phone is not present.
I would essential like to do this: Tethering via WiFi - Troubleshooting.
However, wlan_loader doesn't seem to exist on my phone. I'm running midnight rom 5.1. When I run wifi tether, netcfg shows me that both ppp0 and eth0 are enabled (along with another iface called wl0.1). However, like I said, I don't want my phone to be the hotspot, I want it to be a client to my other hotspot and 3g (or 4g) simultaneously. If wifi tether can enable both interfaces at the same time, how do I do it. Or, can I just use wifi tether to enable both interfaces, and then use some commands to connect eth0 to the hotspot?
On a side note, the wifi router I'm using is a cradlepoint PHS300. I was hoping I might be able to hook it to my phone by USB and get the direct connection working with either the wired tether or wifi tether, but neither work. It seems you must have the legit Sprint wifi hotspot working for it to work that way. The cradlepoint sees the phone as a ppp device when I run wired tether, but it says it's not configured correctly. If anybody knows how to make that work without using the paid sprint hotspot service, that would be a great alternative.
Thanks!
EDIT: SOLVED
------------------
No thanks to Custodian and nullghost, I got it working. k0nane, thanks for being respectful and for moving my post to the correct location.
Back on topic, I don't really care if I can't use 4G and wifi simultaneously, I don't have 4G service in my area any way. My goal is to use my phone as a gateway, and 3G will serve the purpose. I'll take your word that you can't use 4g and wifi simultaneously. Maybe I'll try sometime when I'm in a 4g town just for fun.
I connected to the AP using the built in wifi gui first and got the settings added to my /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf file. My phone has several firmware configs on it. The only one of the 3 that works correctly with wpa is bcm4329_sta.bin.
Here's my scripts that I "developed" :
load script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# need this so getprop and networking stuff to work
export ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE=9,32768
# unload and load the wifi driver module
/system/xbin/killall wpa_supplicant
/sbin/rmmod dhd
/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/dhd.ko "firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcm4329_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt dhd_watchdog_ms=200 dhd_poll=1"
/system/bin/wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -ieth0 -c/data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
# set ip address
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
# set up iptables so we can use device as a gateway
/system/bin/iptables -F FORWARD
/system/bin/iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
/system/bin/iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.10.0/24 -j ACCEPT
/system/bin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
/system/bin/iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.10.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
/system/xbin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
wifi off script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
# need this so getprop and networking stuff to work
export ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE=9,32768
# unload and load the wifi driver module
/system/xbin/killall wpa_supplicant
/sbin/rmmod dhd
I'm using GScript to launch these from the Android GUI.

Seriously.
To the OP:
REALLY? Do you not read stickies?
1. This is Android Development, this is for DEVELOPMENT.
2. There is an Android Questions and Answers subforum. How could you have missed it? Unless you deliberately posted here to draw attention to your post. Then sir, you have succeeded. That is, succeeded in making a post that will get trolled because of your failure to read the stickies! And we've gone in a circle!
:golfclap:
Jeez guys. I intentionally posted here because this seems more like a development type question than general Q/A type question. My sincerest apologies. Could a mod please move it?
How is this a bad question to ask here when there is a HUGE thread about TV-out on the epic 4g that is just full of people saying "any updates on this?" ... "what's the status?"
Thanks.

This is not development. Moved to Q&A.
Questions belong in Question & Answer.
Before you post in Development, ask yourself, "what am I developing?" - not suggesting to develop, not requesting, not asking questions about developing... actually developing.
Now, as far as your question goes... not happening. There's a reason Samsung blocks 4G and WiFi operating at the same time. You can certainly use WiFi Tether with it, but it may reboot your device (there's a very good chance of it).

That one didn't work. Fail, sir, fail.
I thought wifi and 4G wimax used the same radio and that's why you could only use one or the other but not both at the same time.
yeah, I think you won't be able to do it because of them both using the same Ghz.

ROM: Fresh 3.1.0.1
KERNEL: netarchy 4.0.1
I have my 4G turned off, and I just happened to be browsing my logcat (using aLogcat) and saw these interesting entries:
I/Wimax ( 332): <DC> Try to establish a connection to DC server.
E/Wimax ( 332): <DC CONNECT> IO error: msg='/127.0.0.1:7771 - Connection refused'
****That occurs multiple times****
Anyone else seen this? Why is it happening?
I have seen that a lot on my phone. I thought it was related to the Damage Control ROM I was running, but I never really researched it too much.
That is normal.

Yeah, it clutters up logcat, but it doesn't cause any battery drain or anything. If you're trying to debug something and those messages are getting in the way just power the phone off with 4g turned off. When it comes back up it won't scroll those messages.
It's sloppy on HTC's part...but it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

If you're asking - blue.
The 127.0.0.1 IP address is a local loopback, a lot of linux services, modules run in a local loopback. I wouldn't think this is much but don't know why something that is turned off could be trying to connect to something.
Something else on the phone may be dependent on starting that package/module for some other reason causing it to try to connect.

Same thing happens here. To duplicate, all you need to do is enable and disable 4th. And that starts happening.
You can check in by netstat that once you enable 4g, a couple of ports get bound on the localloop interface (127.0.0.1) on that port range.
What I haven't looked st yet, is switch process is staying behind after having the interface disabled.
I'll take a look tomorrow.

so, a quick look at it. the server that binds to port 7771 is:
service sequansd /system/bin/sequansd /etc/wimax/sequansd/sequansd_app.xml
user root
group root inet
socket sequansd_0 dgram 660 root root
disabled
oneshot
I'll look to see who is trying to connect to that service/port...
Looks like someone opened a ticket at Google support forums: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11008
Doubt anyone will fix this unless HTC sees this. Please spread the word to anyone you may know there.

well this tid bit, i assume from init.rc, has helped get me started.
the most interesting sections i saw in /system/etc/wimax/sequansd/sequansd_app.xml -
Code:
<server>
<ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
<port>7771</port>
<maxClients>10</maxClients>
</server>
<debug>
<logfile>/data/wimax/log/sequansd.log</logfile>
<crashLog>/data/wimax/log/crash.log</crashLog>
</debug>
/data/wimax has all sorts of other files, including those sequansd.log files.
in my opinion, they're most interesting comments are:
Code:
sequansd.log: 9:10 45.306 >| DCX/SPY info >| Waiting for connect...
sequansd.log: 9:10 46.400 >| DCX/SPY info >| New connection 0x10E10001 from 127.0.0.1
i'm not sure where all of this is going, but i do find it interesting, 10 max clients on localhost port 7771.
when i turn on 4g, netstat changes and shows two lines with 7771:
Code:
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7771 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:7771 127.0.0.1:36932 ESTABLISHED
any ideas? worth changing the max client number in the conf file? changing ip address or port?
I've been having 4G issues ever since I flashed Calkulin's 1.7 Rom. I looked into logcat after reading this thread and found that when the 4G is turned on the error is
E/wimax (5978): getPvtPem: No device private key
E/ (5978): Cannot get private key
These are in red. I also see a lot of logs about tethering, but I have not used the wifi tether yet. I also see logs about duplicates coming from the flurry agent
it works kinda slow but I was able to install app called hotspot toggle and I was able to pick it up on my ipad and netbook took awhile to get an ip but it worked!! I haven't figured out how to change the settings to put a wpa and stuff but indeed a nice solution for now till a root occurs

According to what OP said, it may take a while to get IP.
I found the writter and I'll ask him to put additional mobile hotspot settings on his application.

hi, ever since the storm i am unable to browse the internet while on 4g (3g an wifi work).
when i run ifconfig i get an ip address for uwbr0. also i am able to ping ip addresses like ping 64.235.229.141 however when i try to ping an address like ping www.02144.com i get an error ping: bad address 'www.02144.com'.
i think the problem is with dns; how can i manually assign the dns server in android ?
thanx,
edit: i see this: # getprop
...
[dhcp.uwbr0.dns1]: [68.28.105.132]
i tried to ping it from my fedora pc:
Code:
[[email protected] ~]$ ping 68.28.105.132
PING 68.28.105.132 (68.28.105.132) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 68.28.105.132 ping statistics ---
21 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 20000ms
not sure how to change it ? (i'm running unnamed rom in case it matteres)
My guess is that your wimax tower most likely got knocked down during the storm.

i am able to browse the internet on my fone using 4g only if i know the ip.
i would like to experiment with trying different dns's (like open-dns: 208.69.38.205 or google: 8.8.8.8) but i dont know where to enter those settings.
i know on fedora i would edit this file:

It is going to be awhile. All PC's and phones have supported ipv6 for awhile. Almost no ISP is giving them out yet. They are not going to go through the hassle of switching them until they need to. There are still plenty of ipv4 ip addresses to give you, so there is no point in giving you an ipv6 one.
OS's almost always support new standards before the standard is in practice.

I have to interject, just to clarify and not make this into a potential confusion point for anyone who isn't knowledgeable in networking.
There are not plenty of IPv4 addresses still (that is why ICANN is requesting returns of IP addresses that are unused by public facing networks) , but NAT has made it less pressing to switch to IPv6, but still necessary in the long term.
And yes, I am being "that guy" but I don't mean any insult.

True NAT is what they are using. I was trying to not get technical. The point I was trying to make was there is no reason for them to switch right this second, so they will not.

So I know there are quite a few threads out there about wifi tether. The general concensus is that WiFi Tether is the best app to use, however I've found that very particular settings are needed to get this to work. While I am not a dev and have not had sucess in getting this app to work on our phone. I thought I would start a thread for those who have had success using the application in hopes that they could share their settings with the rest of us so we can take advantage of 4g as it continues to roll out. I have also tried Barnacle and not had any success either.
I found this on another thread, it was a couple pages deep so I'm reposting here, please swing over to other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138144&highlight=wifi+tether&page=2 #13 and give jdock a thanks for his fix. This works, but there is currently a bug in JB that only allows one tether session per boot. Once you disable wifi tether, it will not work again until you reboot the device
TY jdock
Try this:
device profile = generic ics/jb (wlan0)
setup method = netd-ndc (master)
wifi driver reload = checked
enable wifi encryption = unchecked (you can enable it later when it's working unencrypted)
enable access-control = unchecked (you can enable it later when the basics are working)
Now, when I first started with this app, my devices would connect to the AP but then give up because they couldn't get a dhcp address. I found that if I went into the 'change lan' menu and picked a different lan, that it started working (I currently use 10.10.3.0/24).
If you can't get it working, I came up with another method you may be able to use that does not use any app (I have the at&t model but it's probably the same). Basically you turn off wifi, then run a few commands (as root) that bring the wifi interface back up without disabling mobile data. It will connect to your local wireless lan as if you had enabled wifi. Then you can run a socks or http proxy and point your other device at it (easy if you're wanting to tether a pc, maybe not so easy if you're using something else). I haven't tried yet to see if it will route between the networks, which would mean you can just manually change your default gateway to your phone's wlan address and have all traffic go through it.

While I am not a dev and have not had sucess in getting this app to work on our phone. I thought I would start a thread for those who have had success using the application in hopes that they could share their settings with the rest of us so we can take advantage of 4g as it continues to roll out. I have also tried Barnacle and not had any success either.

I hope you get some answers. I haven't been able to get this app to work on by GNex on JB 4.2.1 OR 4.2.2 using 4 different ROMs. The app doesn't seem to have been updated in many months, and I'm assuming that it won't work on JB in any form.

I'm on a JB rom now, and it does work. See the directions I posted from another thread in the OP and wifi tether will work. However, once you turn off wifi tether you will need to reboot the phone for wifi and data to function normally.
Even when Wi-Fi tether runs "with errors" it still works... for some reason my phone doesn't heat up as much when I run with errors -- probably had something to do with the Wi-Fi driver that the app reloads.

My wifi tether setup has no issues with data not working and I can turn it off and on without problems. I've used the phone for calls, texts, and internet after using wifi tether. The only issue is that you cannot turn wifi on after running tether. Once rebooted wifi will turn back on until I use tether again. I'm on a stock rooted JB rom.
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd ndc master
Send Netd max client cmd checked
wifidriver reload checked
Router fix checked
Wifi fix checked
I have access control checked as well but that doesn't matter.
I've yet to be able to get this app working. I've tried these setting before and several other settings to no avail. When I try these, everything but the first item in the log and the last two say they failed. Now it does broadcast it's SSID and I can join the network, but there is no data connection.
I'm on stock Jelly Bean rom. The funny thing is, I used Wifi tether app on Lifeless and Imperium and it worked with a few different settings.
Check your version. I use WIFI Tether TrevE Mod.
Mine version is 3.2-beta2-modv5 ***synergized***
I had similar issues until I found the right version to use. I never got regular Wifi Tether to work.

You got a link to that version I don't see it in the thread with all the other versions. All I see are versions dated 11/20 or 11/22, no beta's or anything called synergized that I see.

Thanks I'll let you guys know if it works.
Edit: Nah, still doesn't work with that copy with all the settings checked in the OP. Everything fails still.

By Changing some settings I can get everthing to work EXCEPT for the Nat Rules, that fails still. If someone can tell me how to fix that perhaps I can get this to work. Seems though the Nat Rules keeps my laptop from detecting the new network I made.

Glad to see other people are able to contribute. I'm not a developer so not much I can do except dig around other forums and see what helps. I'm using Imperium Initiative v2.0.1 with wifi tether, with the settings in my op. Maybe there are some adjustments in imperium/lifeless that cause this to work. I will try the file posted and report back to see if I can re-enable wifi after disabling tether.
BUMP!

Bump!
This one works for me with these settings:
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Netd max client cmd - checked
Enable WiFi-Encryption - checked
WiFi-driver reload 2 - checked
Enable Access-Control - checked (If this is checked the first time the client connects, you have to grant it access from your phone. You'll notice a new icon on the top of your phone where all of your running program icons are. When you see it just pull down the list and select it and check your client and then hit apply)Routing fix - checked
Hope this helps
something probably worth mentioning on this, I'm currently on Lifeless 14, and the connections optimizer was screwing with this app. I turned it off and it worked like a charm.
Not of concern to anyone AOSP/AOKP/CM/PA but for stock/lifeless/imperium(i think) this is worth looking into for some folks.

I found this on another thread, it was a couple pages deep so I'm reposting here, please swing over to other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138144&highlight=wifi+tether&page=2 #13 and give jdock a thanks for his fix. This works, but there is currently a bug in JB that only allows one tether session per boot. Once you disable wifi tether, it will not work again until you reboot the device
TY jdock
Try this:
device profile = generic ics/jb (wlan0)
setup method = netd-ndc (master)
wifi driver reload = checked
enable wifi encryption = unchecked (you can enable it later when it's working unencrypted)
enable access-control = unchecked (you can enable it later when the basics are working)
Now, when I first started with this app, my devices would connect to the AP but then give up because they couldn't get a dhcp address. I found that if I went into the 'change lan' menu and picked a different lan, that it started working (I currently use 10.10.3.0/24).
If you can't get it working, I came up with another method you may be able to use that does not use any app (I have the at&t model but it's probably the same). Basically you turn off wifi, then run a few commands (as root) that bring the wifi interface back up without disabling mobile data. It will connect to your local wireless lan as if you had enabled wifi. Then you can run a socks or http proxy and point your other device at it (easy if you're wanting to tether a pc, maybe not so easy if you're using something else). I haven't tried yet to see if it will route between the networks, which would mean you can just manually change your default gateway to your phone's wlan address and have all traffic go through it.

These settings worked for me using the Stock Odex JB 4.1 rom. and the TrevE mod version below. I had to reboot first after installing the apk, and reload the binaries.
throttling
Well since it seems the tethering problem hasn't been remedied yet (touchy and have to restart), has anyone figured out a way to get around sprint's throttling? Unfortunately I for the life of me can't get my MSL, and also unfortunately I hate using the phone to call sprint. hrm.
May I suggest jellybeer? Tethering is built in!
