[Q] Wireless tether borked?

Hey all, so I recently switched from a 1.47-based back snack to the newest froyo-based baked-snack and/or fresh and since then my wireless tether has gone the way of the dodo. Wireless tether seems to be launching and broadcasting but is not allowing connections from PC/MAC laptops (tried both). I've additionally tried the most recent FRESH ROM as well as the stock netarchy build and in all cases I can't get any connections from other computers (I don't even get the request or notification of an attempt to connect in wireless tether) As far as I can tell I don't have a MAC address issue of any sort.
Any ideas?
Wifi and 3G seem to be functioning fully, as well as everything else I've tested.

NOT Q/A

Seems to me a developer's section would be the appropriate place to post if I am having a recurring permanent problem post-installation of a developer's ROM.
-Just checking to see if anyone else might have seen this same problem, post ROM.

No need to be male genitalia.
I have tether working on calkulin evio rom. Test different versions,v visit the developers page. Pre 2 seems to be working best imo.

Haven't heard of this issue. You said you're running the netchary kernel on fresh right? What version of wireless tether are you running?

Thanks gmaine. I've tried both the Pre 2 that came with the backed snack rom and whatever version came with Fresh, and both had the same problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling whatever the current version is in the marketplace as well didn't work. It feels more and more like a hardware issue, though nothing else is funky at the moment.

Am currently running the netarchy update froyo kernel and have tried new and old version of wireless tether.

Try uninstalling the current tether app and using this one.

I'm running fresh 3.1.0.1 and using pre 7 of wireless tether and having no problems. Try uninstalling what you have now and install pre 7 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo

am installing, etc, now.

The you should probably post in that specific ROM's thread.
for the netarchy kernel many are using Pre6. Some ROM's require the new Pre7.
Pre7 works on the Stock netarchy build for me and is mentioned several times in that thread.

Totally agree with you on that one, but didn't get my answer after a few days and tens of pages of posts later.--So of course, that was the first route I went. (Everyone seemed to busy arguing about PRI downgrades, but I digress.)
Anyways, the .apk that was just linked works, although I'm really not seeing the difference between it and the marketplace wireless tether and reinstallation. Either way, things are working now, thanks for those of you with constuctive advice!

[Q] Nebula ROM - Bluetooth

I upgraded from 1.0.6 to 1.0.7 and found that my bluetooth was no longer syncing with the car. I Odined back to DI18 and found that bluetooth was fine..I deleted the pairing from the car and the phone...installed DK28 and reinstalled Nebula 1.0.7 and still have the same problem. I am not sure why the bluetooth thing stopped working. The car syncs with the rest of the bluetooth enabled devices I have.... Nebula 1.0.6 was working fine...

I don't know anything about nebula rom. The.best thing you can do is post this on The roms thread and people familiar with the rom could help you. Sorry I couldn't help you anymore.

I had a similiar problem. My bluetooth devices would show up as a mac address instead of the model name and would not connect. I couldn't find an answer for this and odin'd back to DK28 and put ACS signed ROM on and Bluetooth is fine so not sure if it was one of the files removed from Samsung or Sprint in 1.0.7 but decided not to try it until someone else has the same problem. But yours sounds a little different then my problem. I read somewhere that your Bluetooth device might need a hard reset since you are only having trouble with one. Find out how to that for that device. Each is different.

Thanks for the help guys....i was not able to post in the dev section earlier but was able to now. Posted it there.

[Q] Bluetooth keep crashing

I am using NexusMod ICS Zero - [4-19-12] Modified for T989 - 2nd Release
I try to flash with SuperWipe, without superwipe, Darkside Superwipe, M&S Kernel clenser, with format everything, with clear everything.
Don't know what else I should try.
how come when I come back to my restore (which is easydoes ICS ROM) the bluetooth works fine (I have to re-pair in my car after restore, because I clear the bluetooth system in my car evertime I pair the new rom)?
For me bluetooth didn't work for any of the new UCLD2 ROMS.
The bluetooth worked on the earlier ICS leaks.
Here is the LogCat for the crash
LogCat Link
Thanks,

here is the logcat for the fresh install and fresh test with the car bluetooth.
Can someone tell me what direction I should look at?

just flash your stock rom/ or just radio

there is no ICS Stock Rom available for flashing.

and I did flash the LB7 radio

I tried Gingerbread stock works fine....
then install NexusMod and same issue.

UCLD2 broke bluetooth for me also (Skyrocket). Works fine on the first ICS leak though (UCLC something).
It pairs to my JVC car stereo.
But buzzes/crashes when trying to stream.
Bluetooth will turn on/off over and over.

I still not able to find any fix or way around.
Please update this thread if you find one.

What is the version of your cmw?
I am on 5.0.2.7
Not cmw touch. Dunno maybe its working with cmw touch only.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989

I read it on skyrocket forum the Dev said on nexusmod thread that you have to be on cmw touch.
I update my cmw to touch and then reinstall the ROM and that didn't help either.
That's weird. Have no clue why Bluetooth is not working...
Anyways back to the first leak for now...

As I stated in the NexusMOD thread, bluetooth integration to my car is broken as well. Haven't tried v3.3 yet nor have I tried the make nandroid -restore from nandroid trick mentioned in the T989 NexusMOD thread... Am still hopeful that a new leak will come out with a different BT stack which fixes this

I noticed "bluetooth" kept showing up on my CTS stereo like it was connecting. Under bluetooth click menu button and set visible timeout (mine was set to 2 minutes). I set mine to unlimited, since then it stopped showing up on my stereo.

Thanks for the feedback.
I re-install the ROM with 3.8 update and tried your method but that still not stop crashing the BT and transferred the call to the handset and disconnect from the car BT.
I guess I have to wait for the new leak with the hope that it will not have this issue.

ICS based roms and wifi issues

Has anyone else had constant wifi issues with ics based roms? For example my range seems like it jas dropped dramtically. And if I leave my wifi on and set my phone down even for a small length of time amd pick it back up to browse the web or perform any internet based actiony device just hangs for a while. Its almost like it might be a wifi wake issue. Its really anoying and most times i have to switch between 3g and wifi just to get an internet connection back. I have seen this on all ics flavors i have ran so far. I am currently running a fresh install of ff18 i wanted to have that as my base to try and deduce what the issue could be....

FWIW I have noticed similar with FF18 - didn't have these issues with FF02, the prior build that I had on this phone. I don't get the wi-fi sleep that people mention but I do see the signal drop and the occasional delays in apps. Also did a full flash but copied previous wpa_supplicant.conf due to need for custom file.

Like you they didn't appear until I flashed FF18. I'm considering flashing the FF02 modem to see if this corrects - I'll let you know what happens.
(Odd since there shouldn't be any changes in this process since FE26...)

Yeah try a different modem. The FF modems seem to have issues but FD26 works good for me all around

Flashed FD26 modem everything else is still FF18 right away I noticed better wifi performance but it is still a little early to tell. But apps dont seem to lag anymore while attempting to connect to the internet. And wifi seems to find the routers right away and connect almost instantly. Also while going almost out of wifi range I am still getting a signal and able to surf the internet. Before if I was almost out of range I couldnt do anything and had to drop my wifi connection and switch to 3g. So these are the things I have noticed so far but I will continue testing and report back.
On a side note I had an office space sound board installed it was 20 or so MB and after flashing the model it was uninstalled and everytime I try and reinstall it I get an error that says "Can not install onto sd card" I thought this was really crazy and should be completely unrelated. Yet now I cant reinstall this app. So I am wondering if there is some kind of bug in FD26 though could possibly inhibit certain apps from being written to the sd card?

[Q] ICS + Pandora issues?

So, I have been running Calkulin's ROMs forever... I've stuck to GB because it was the most stable (at the time), I recently decided to try ICS, but EVERY ICS ROM I've tried, and every ICS modem I've tried, I've run into the SAME issue..
I get crappy service, where I had 3-4 bars before, I'm now getting 1 or roaming... If I reset the phone, it magically works again, displaying the 3-4 bars I had previously..
I've checked all my settings, and tried multiple ROMs, and all exhibit the same issues.. I've tried FF11 and FF18 and the issue still persists.
And..Pandora doesn't work.... It'll stick on loading, or buffer to 2% and hang, then switch to the next song, and repeat the cycle... But only when on 3G/4G, if I'm on wi-fi, it works perfectly...
If I had to take a guess, it would appear modem related (all data/signal issues), but no one else seems to be having the same issues as I.
Thought? Suggestions?

After more tinkering, FE21 + FE21 agat kernel + Pandora 1.5.15 seems to have fixed all the issues....
I'd still like some input though.

Pandora works fine for me on ICS, same with the modems, not sure what the problem might be, just saying it works

I'm having the exact same problem on my Nexus S 4G, as of last Friday.
Running latest CM9 nightly with default CM9 kernel.
Only way it will stream is over wifi.
Will try loading an older version of Pandora and see if that helps.

I'm getting nowhere with Pandora...
Still unable to stream anything unless i'm on wifi.
Have wiped everything and even installed stock ICS rom for my Nexus S.
Oddly enough it works if I go back go Gingerbread...
So it was just a kernel / app version issue for you?

Think the sprint multimedia proxies have anything to do with it? My evo shift did the same thing stock until I zeroed them out.
I'm using an old modded version of Pandora. Today I discovered that if I'm running airblock (airpush ad blocker) that the cover art doesn't display and sometimes the loudness levels of songs differ greatly. I disabled the blocker and everything worked as it should. I don't know if Pandora and airpush are using the same servers or ports but there seems like there might be some correlation between them.

Running Blu Kuban based on ICS on my E4GT and pandora runs flawlessly. Don't know if that is a source of help or aggravation.

Thank you!!!
I disabled AdAway and now Pandora works...
Now the trick is figuring out what I need to exclude from my hosts file to prevent it from breaking Pandora.

I'm running VeNuM's own Boa + FF18 kernel/modem. Earlier today while sitting in my car in the parking lot of WalMart I downloaded and used Pandora for the very first time to test out my new portable rechargeable Bluetooth stereo speaker from iHome (which sounds great for a little $60 speaker). Pandora worked without a hitch and sound was flawless.

I have AdAway on my phone (running PH's ICS atm) and have never had issues with Pandora. Amazon's streaming, otoh, has been a complete pain and almost unusable.

and of course today it is broken again
Tried changing the multimedia proxies also, still no go.

Wednesday and today, pandora was really running like ****. Sounds like they need an enema for their internet pipes.

That sounds like proxy blocking (if there is such a thing). Works on everything but 3/4g

Pandora works on wifi and 4g but not on 3g on any ICS rom. It does work on stock el29 on 3g though. I've tried installing a couple of stock leaked ICS and only installed pandora and it still doesnt work on 3g. I'd go back to el29 but i really dont like it. I found a modified pandora apk that is v1.5.15 and it has the same issues so i dont think its the newer version that is causing the issue. If there is anything else i can try, i would greatly appeciate it.

Downloading 1.5.10 worked for me

I am also having the same issue's that everyone else is having. But, I would like to add that I can confirm that when Pandora was on EL29, it worked flawlessly. Not so much now.

I'm using Adaway as well, no problems here with Pandora on 3G. Maybe try Adaway?

Using 1.6 on stock FF18 deodexed rom with FF18 modem and Agat's 0.2.1 kernel. Haven't had any issues with it so far.
