WiFi Tether problem - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am running the latest decked gingerbread with the lee kernel and when ever i try to use wifi tether it doesn't start correctly and it also craps out my wifi and the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone. Any help is much appreciated.

It comes with a built in hotspot

Help? My 3g hotspot wont work

So basically I can start my hotspot and connect to it from NY computer but there is no internet and I did the usual hack of changing the security and default profile names. Any ideas why I get no connectivity ?

I tried *228 and then redid everything but still no internet.
I cant figure it out i have a feeling this is going to be like my contact sync (just stopped working one day hasnt ever worked since on my one account although all other accounts work)
Is this a Verizon app or wireless tether? I recommend the latter.

The Verizon app I prefer to use the Verizon app but it doesnt work so I've been using wireless tether.

Sorry, but I've only used tether which works perfectly. I haven't even tried stock, and I'm way too busy to attempt to try right now. Hopefully someone else with more experience or free time will step in.

Doesn't Verizon charge you for their Wireless Tether service?
(Which is one more reason to root your phone in the first place)
If rooted, try Barnacle. It works great for me.
Verizion does charge for their wifi hot spot so if you are not paying them for it that is why it is not working.

Yea, I thought so.
I also can't get any tethering app to work right. After awhile none will load video and they all stopped working all together after 50mb or si.

What ROM are you using? Is your phone Rooted? Are you running any Task Killer/Manager apps?
I had that happen after I switched (updated) radios, and then tried a couple other versions. The hotspot needs to be reactiviated after a radio switch (or so it seems). After following the directions, then rebooting, it seems fine again.
I also use wireless tether, but for me it's a push between them except the hotspot allows the droid to be seen as infrastructure.
Switching radios didnt cause wireless tether to stop working, so I wonder if it had anything to do with changing the throttling in services.jar?
I'm using virtuous 3.1 and the 7.28 radio. For some reason both wireless tether and easytether pro both crap out at a similar point. They both do it with or without the? Uncapping mod. They also just completely stop loading video a little before crapping out all together

Make sure you're not running any Task Manager/Killer app as I used to run Virtuous 3.1 with Advanced Task Manager and it caused problems for me. Also try running an update on the roaming (*228 option 2).
Thanks ill try and check back

Do you have access control on? Idk if that has been said or not but mine wouldn't work till I turned it on and allowed my computer to use the internet.

Or try dialing *228 and reprogramming your service. That could do it
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Good idea
Over tried *228 options 1 and 2 but nothing seems to work for some reason no matter what I do all tethering craps out after a little bit and the 3g hotspot will never work it just shows up as connected with no internet

mikfroyo 4.5 sprint hotspot with 4g

is anyone having a problem with having you 4g on and then turning on the hotspot for sprint and then it kicks you off of the 4g or tell me why this is happing
I think the hotspot hack only works with 3g. You would have to get "wireless tether for root users" if you want to have a hotspot and get 4g speeds.
I had some trouble with Sprint HotSpot turning off when when using I was on MikFroyo 4.5 using 3g. I also tried Wireless Tether, which wouldn't work at all. Have you tried using MikFroyo 4.4? I just switched back to a different ROM because at the time I wasn't around a WiFi connection.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
no i haven't tried 4.4 yet but i thinking about it soon ill let you know if it works or not!!
I like Ava and King's for when I have to use Wireless Tether. Right now I'm on Fresh because I'm helping with some testing.

Ultimate Droid

Is anybody running on the ultimate Droid Tom 3.3.1???? I have one question on it
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I'm running UD 3.3.1 on a tiamat 4.0.5 sbc kernel
I am.

Okay... thanks... I need help with my wifi issue. It will stay connected for a while but later turn off in which I have to reboot my Evo just to get it to work again... In the settings, it would say: ERROR... Does anyone know a way around this??? AND is there a GPS fix yet??? But the first question is more important..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I use Juice Defender and never had that problem. It has an option to 'fix' it.
I use juice defender as well... Where inside juice defender is that option? Also, remember my wifi would turn off and not be able to reconnect unless I reboot... But if juice defender works, I would like to know where that option is inside there that will help me out. Thanks!!!
I can't help you with the wifi, mine works flawlessly. What kernel are you using? you may have better luck with an earlier kernel if using a newer one. While I'm on tiamat 4.0.5, you may need to flash back to 4.0.1 or 4.0.2.
Unfortunately, not all EVO's are the same.
For the GPS, try this:
If you have downloaded GPS Status, try this, It may help.
Open GPS Status and go to menu-tools-manage A-GPS state-and reset the A-GPS data. Then download the data file. If you don't already have GPS status, go get it from the market. The free one works fine.
It fixed my issues without having to reflash to a sense rom. There is also a patch that you may need to apply before this fix.
CM7-N39-GPS-Driver so you don't have the processor pegging at 90% all the time, you must do this on UD 3.3.1 otherwise your phone will get really hot and battery will die quickly.

Don't run the rom, but if by chance you used wireless tether, and it started with errors, and you try using wifi after, it breaks, and is fixed by rebooting.
Menu-Settings-Wireless and Networks-Wifi Settings- Hit Menu-Advanced-Wifi Sleep Policy- Never.
Your welcome and let me know if something else pop up.

[Q] Kinged 3d rom shooter

Just popped my cherry on the whole rooting my evo and flashing this rom. The rom is awesome by the way. Im having an issue with the wifi disconnecting when Im browsing the net or when I update mr friends stream. Is there something else I need to flash to fix this?
Try a different kernel or check your WiFi settings. Make sure the sleep settings is checked onto "never"
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You can try setting your wifi sleep policy to never under settings/wireless networks/wifi settings hit the menu button go to advanced that might work but you should ask in the thread for that ROM you'll get a lot more help sorry if your still in that 10 post deal I'm on the xda app so I can't see it right now.

I agree with Steven lookup freedom kernel i use the aggressive version and wireless N is fully supported. I never have drop in wifi but you'll find out all phones act different.

[Q] no tethering?

I just upgraded from the Eris to dinc2 yesterday, rooted and am running twisted Rom, but I can't get wireless tether to work, the comp will connect, but sometimes it says limited connectivity and won't load anything, I've only come across a couple people asking about this, but no solution, so I'm posting to see what answers I get.
I need wireless so I can put my phone in a different room for better signal...
What are you using for tethering?
I use Barnacle Wifi Tether and have no problem.
I tried barnacle and the wireless tether and neither worked for me. I wouldn't think it'd be a Rom issue since the comp connects
I tried a different roms and the only one that work tethering is the skyrider rom 3000..,
Try an older version of wireless tether.
I had the same problem until I changed to a older version. Now works great.
Or you can try to download the latest version of android wifi tether and enable clamping and routing fix.
This solution has worked with every ROM I have used.

I prefer miui over any sense rom why? Well is very snappy plus you can customize it in ways you can't do a sense rom, plus miui has a million themes you can choose from and miui has a very nice polished look and you still get some what of the 3d effects plus a few more options to scroll your home screen that no sense rom has. Also wifi hotspots and tethering are built in no need for an app to use it

I wanna see them do a vertical scroll transition so you swipe up and down instead of side to side. I'd love to see something different again. Something to keep surprising me.

I like GoLauncher with the transition effect set to random. It's the little things.
I use the wireless tether that is in the settings in CM7, and sometimes, when I connect with a computer to its wifi signal, I get "Low signal/no connectivity" when my phone is right next to the computer. I've found that turning the wireless tether on and off a few times fixes this.

Turns out it was just the ROM I was using, the TwistedSense v1.0.1 wasn't lettin me tether, I'm runnin the TSMGingerBlissMede 0.1 now, pretty nice ROM, but super laggy on screen touch response...probably gonna try somethin else today, I like the lockscreen though, I'm new to the inc2, coming from the eris, so I guess that's just a 3.0 lockscreen huh?
So far all AOSP Roms have worked for me. I tether on CM7 instead of using my disgusting campus WIFI lol
