[Q] no tethering? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

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

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.

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).

I love this rom...however, is there any way to make the gps more accurate? I have tried gps status, aid, etc. but they dont address my problem. I get a lock within about 5-6 seconds, but the accuracy never goes below ~26 feet. On cm7, stock, gorilla hd, and other roms, I always got 6 foot accuracy sometimes even 3.3. So is there any fix?

Anyone got any recommendations for a good 3G Hotspot app? Don't care if it requires the tethering plan from the carrier or not, since work pays for it anyway.
Any clue if this one has the low incall volume that the other aosp Roms seem to all have? I love a nice clean gb that has been the only thing holding me back from making them my dd

The WiFi Tether app listed there works for me once I apply the settings listed in the OP. I'm on unbloated gingersense though, you may not need those settings for it to work. I'd try it with the default settings first (those worked for me when I ran CM7) and tweak from there. You may have play around with it a bit.

Wifi issues on stock ICS upgrade?

Hey everyone, I got the stock ICS from Kies about a month ago, and hated how horrific the WiFi signal was, so I rooted, got a darkside rom, and still stunk. I don't want to upgrade to something that is less powerful, and has a lot less reliability. Does anyone else have WiFi strength issues on ICS in general? I mean I really just want the most stable rom and rooted, but I know I don't want it if it's not 100% ready for day-to-day use and for college, when I can't get a new clockwork mod or something. Any help? Thanks!
Have you checked in wifi settings to see if you are on 2.4 or 5.0 ghz settings? Try them both to see if your signal strength changes

Well, I've had no problems with ics yet. I'm not very happy with tw, too much of it looks just like it did in gb. The Apple-style notifications on the app icons just bug me. And the mail client is just enough like the standard ics email client to be infuriating. (loses selected message list if you accidentally open a message instead of checking the box.)
So I'll be rioting soon and hunting down cm9 or 10.

Sorry for the bump but I still have this issue no matter the rom. Tried everything. Wifi strength is the only thing keeping me back from a rom different from stock which I hate by the way. Any help again would be great. Thanks again xdaers!

I keep coming back to stock ics (tweaked with a different launcher and sms app since I despise the tw launcher and messaging apps) since it's usually more stable than the cm10 ports. I haven't had wifi issues on any ROM yet, so this could be a ymmv moment.

AOSP 4.3 discussion

What are things you've noticed so far in the alpha/beta builds of Android 4.3?
As of 8/10,
- (Cosmetic) I like the addition to the LTE signal. On cm10.2, the 4G icon has been replaced by "LTE". (Does not apply to SlimRom.)
- Device appears to be much, much smoother and consistent.
- AOSP keyboard no longer opens a window to save a word to the dictionary. It just does it once you hit save. (This one is a big plus for me.)
- LTE, while speeds haven't necessarily matched my Touchwiz experience, I can safely state that LTE, even with slower speeds than Touchwiz is loading pictures/videos a lot faster. It's much more noticeable how LTE connectivity has improved when going to a 4.3 rom on this device.
- Required to enable root via developer settings prior to using any application that requires root access. (This is a security feature but for someone that flashes ROMs on nearly a daily basis, it can become a bit tedious since it's just an extra step.)

Things are loading faster on LTE even with slower speeds? Interesting! Is your ping lower or something? I need to try a 4.3 ROM tonight.

After two hours and 36 minutes of screen time, I'm at 89%. Been on 4G LTE the entire time.
Edit: I do have a 3000 mAh battery, though!
Battery has been great on slim it's also noticeably faster than 4.2 ... Camera is buggy as !-!311, that's really the only thing wrong with it though... My friend did just send me a file to flash to fix the camera, haven't flashed it yet so idk if it'll work or not

Is camera still buggy? what exactly is buggy about it? I havent tried an AOSP rom in like 6-8 months because first time I flased one my sd card got corrupt. I believe it is formatted correctly to where IT wont happen now and thinking about finally making the switch since touchwiz development has kind of slowed down recently and im starting to get bored. Main thing keeping me on touchwiz was the camera. I take a lot of pictures. Are there any other issues that would keep me from using an AOSP ROM as a daily driver? Bluetooth issues,random reboots,freezes ect...
I never had the luck of running a 4.3 build perfectly. Phone ended up crashing and getting stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S3 boot screen.
Latest carbon runs quite fine 8-29 nightly. However, I noticed Bluetooth doesn't appear in the toggles nor can you enable torch in the power widget. Anyone know a work around to fix this?
