[Q] Wireless tether issue

I have a droid incredible with sky raider sense 3.3.2, my issue with wireless tether has persisted through several different roms and the stock rom.
When I launch wireless tether (with or without security) I am able to connect from my mac or pc and surf the web at very slow speeds. The phone is able load web pages faster in the same location then with wifi tether. On top of the slow speeds I am not able to browse the web for more then 15 minutes without losing internet access via wifi, but still connected to the phone. During that time the phone can still surf the web.
The only temporary way to fix this is to reinstall all binaries and configs then restart the phone. When I use the pdanet trail I have, everything is a dream via usb.
My current radio is 2.15.00.07.28, this issue has also been with me for the past 2 radio updates I have done. I have tried turning wifi on and off with no success, disabling all my apps but wifi and superuser.

I'm having the EXACT same issue and have been searching for the past couple hours to try and fix it. Currently on Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1 w/ stock 2.6.32.17 Kernel. Driving me crazy!! .4kb download & .1kb upload speeds... Have removed the .dun as instructed in EPST's settings and am using latest wireless tether (2.05.-pre13).

Has everyone that has come across this thread been able to use wireless tether with no issues? Should it be as simple as having root, froyo & downloading wireless tether? Or changing EPST settings to take out "dun."... Bueller?

Are you using the stock 3g hotspot app or did you download a rooted app?

Using wifi tether. Stock app not on my phone

Same issue here too. I have 2 inc's, both rooted - one stock, one running Myn's release 3 w/Ziggy kernel. Both have the same problem. Wifi will actually stay up for a while and the connected to my laptop. Then, wifi will actually drop and not be detected by wifi-analyzer while on the serving inc tether willstill show active.
Running Wifi-tether pre13 but this is an issue whether running wifi-tether or 3g hotspot.
Possibly an earlier version of wifi-tether would work? Can someone who is not experiencing this issue post the versions of their wifi related apps?

Having same problem with brothers phone. I'm never around when it drops but this is exactly what he describes too. I just put pre 13 and changed to channel 1 haven't had him complain yet but we will see
Mine however with same setup works fine... totally confused
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I just updated to pre13 and have tried several different channels with no luck. I noticed earlier that when I have been on it for a while it will slowly stop loading sites.
By this I mean that Engadget could continue to refresh while hulu or xda will not load. Eventually Engadget will stop loading.

I my stock dinc back to wifi tether 2.0.5-pre7 this morning and so far so good... will do some more testing tonight and report back later with an edit.
edit: Apparently pre7 release has an issue with channel selection, no matter what you select you end up on 6 (with all of the other default users out there), running pre8 now.

When you tether, does it say 1x at the top?

tether working fine
This is really one of the main reasons I rooted-
stock 2.2
wireless tether 2.0.2
I seem to surf without interuption endlessly.
speed test on average is about.5Mbps up and down

It does it at 3g and 1x

I get the same issue while running both sky-raider and now on virtuous. I believe it prob has to do with the 2.15 radio cuz I never had this issues with 2.05 or stock 2.1 android
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Same here...after surfing a while on the laptop it will quit loading pages.
The only way I can get around it is to disable the "wireless network connection"
then re-enable and it will work for another 10 minutes or so before having
to repeat the same action.

I have never been able to get wifi tether to work. I tried numerous versions of wifi tether, tried changing WEP, WPA, Open, channels, etc. I could connect the computer to the phone, but could never get internet access.
I finally gave up and just use 3g Hotspot, which works perfect.
I never had the 2.05 radio, so I don't know if it was introduced in 2.15

Man am I glad I am not the only one with the issue.

Okay so now we have established that there is a wifi tethering issue. Any dev wanna help us out on solving this or anyone with any ideas?

I have the same issue... any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm currently using stock 2.2 w/Nov update, radio 2.15.00.07.28 & 2.05-pre13 but am having no problem keeping two laptops connected. Rather my issue is one mentioned a few posts up, the speed is sadly lacing compared to what others have posted elsewhere on the site.
Would post screens but have to be more active and post a few more.

[Q] Wireless Tethering Issues

Hello All -
I am running Syndicate Frozen 1.2 on my Epic with the kernel that came with 1.1.1 which I think is Twighlight? Anyway, I am having issues with my wireless tethering where I am connected but am not getting a signal or will get a very weak signal like 23KB. It's very unstable. I've tried different physical locations to make sure I am getting a strong 3G signal and I have also tried flashing different ROMs (currently on EE03) with no luck.
Also, one thing I didn't notice before going to 1.2 is that when I start the wireless tether, the Sprint hotspot app starts. Is this normal?
Any help anyone could provide will be greatly appreciated. Wireless tether option is what lead me to this site so it is pretty important to me.
Loving the new ROM experience by the way. Thanks ALL!

If you are using the yellow Wifi Tether, it is supposed to make the Hotspot icon turn on. If you are on 4G, its best to turn it off then activate the tether then turn 4G back on. Make sure you select Epic in the settings. I am getting fantastic speed using version 3 pre 14. I am not sure which is baked into the ROM though

I've never had the "yellow" wifi tether app work for me on all versions of SRF ROM's. I've always used this one from the market, always worked nearly flawlessly for me. And I can fire it up while 4g connected, unlike what people recommend with the other one...check it out.
https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether&feature=search_result

Yea I was using the yellow Wifi tether. I'll give the one from the market a try. Thanks for the replies!

I use wireless tether 2.0.5 pre15. For some reason I have issues with other ones. Try searching 4shared for the .apk
Sent from my frozen Syndicated Beast...

Will have to try something else. Wireless tether is not working at all (the yellow or green) which is pretty important for me. It starts but up and download speeds are reading 0 yet my 3G has a strong signal...

I downloaded one of the apk over on android central after searching around more (I believe it was 3.0.0. pre12). So far it is working fairly well. Thank you XDA for being such a valuable resource!

(Help) WIFI not working (grey icon)

For some reason my wifi stoped working.
i was on revolution 2.1.0 and it stoped over night. without me doing anything. It cant connect to wifi - to any wifi. it says the conexion is poor or even the wifi bar is full but the device cant obtain the internet. the icons stays grey wifi is there but no internet.
so what i did was
1. flashed different radios xxkk1 - xxkk6
2. flashed stock with odin from chainfire
3. flashed different kernels
4. flashed different ROMS - cm9 and pauls and then back revo 2.1.
and no such a luck. nothing helps- wifi icon stays grey.
i did full wipe before each flash. and no change.
and somehow after 3 hours wifi came back. without me doing anything.
I am just scared what it could be. did someone here experienced the same issue? how did you deal with it?

i did mate. but i left it on auto. anyway it was working before like a charm. and then it stops. i also tried different routers - wifi's all are ok. phone locate them connect to them but the icons stays grey and no internet.

I'm having the same problem.
I've tried Revolution 2.1.0 and 2.1.2 with the same results.
It seems that it just stop passing traffic though the WiFi icon shows the up and down triangles as if traffic is passing. But no packets actually flow.
Usually I can turn off the wifi, wait a few minutes and turn it back on.
Same thing happens to my 3G and 4G icons. They'll grey out but indicate traffic is passing, yet it's not.
I haven't gone back to the stock rom yet because the problem is sporadic enough that I can't make it happen consistently enough to test it.
I'd like this problem to go away. Thoughts and suggestions welcomed.

Hi - same problem. Was your connection solved?

Hello,
I see that your thread ended without a solution to your Wifi connection problem I have a samsung galaxy nexus that has the same problem. I have tried the same solutions, but have yet to find one that works. My data works find, but I prefer to move between Wifi locations to keep my costs down. Where you able to solve your problem...on this site or some other site? Would you mind sharing your solution.
Thanks,
Scott

Had the same problem. Gotta do a fresh install. Wipe cache and dalvik twice and the install. Worked fine. Or you can just wipe dalvik and cache and see what happened. Might work.

wifi tether issues?

I am seemimgly having an issue wit wifi tether. After a period of time it seems to time and and drops all connections. I hear them reconnect (vibrate) and then moments later they are not connect. It happens with the touchpad so i decided to try an incredible and had the same issue. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tim

First of all this is the Galaxy Nexus subforum. Your post is regarding HP Touchpads and HTC Droid Incredibles. Try posting in those areas.
Second, this is the development subforum. It is a place for posting ROMs and kernels that you developed. This post is more suited for the general subforum (in the Incredible or Touchpad area).
Finally, get the latest version of wifi tether from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and make sure you use the settings to set the correct profile.
Are there 3g touchpads that you can use wifi tether with?

I believe the problem is with the nexus since that is what i am running wifi tether on. So i believe this is in the correct forum unless this is just for roms and kernals. I thought sine this it's part of the development of the device i would have the correct form. I used the incredible and touchpads as examples of what i tried to connect with.

Moved to Q&A

Wifi tether isn't working for me? I tried beta 9 & beta 10 and no computers see the wireless network. I even tried to manually add it and no luck. Also my phone keeps rebooting after 10 mins or so after I launch the app?
Anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?

I changed the channel to 2 from 1 and it has been working great. Channel 6 didnt work for me.

Signal turning on and off rapidly

My friend got a Galaxy nexus he brought from amazon and asked me to root, unlock and install jelly bean on it because he cant wait. He is though, just a fan of stock and has no idea of rooting or any development, so i flashed on his phone the ota (bigxie_maguro_JRN84D_v2-signed.zip) then a radio (CWM-RADIO-i9250-JB.zip)... it went okay for a few weeks then he noticed a problem where his signal turned on and off very rapidly... especially in 3g, but when shifted into 2g, his signal seems to be fine.. i asked him what he did but he said he did nothing in particular that could have affected the signal.. he doesnt use his root access though so i believe him. i tried flashing different radio, and it didnt work. so can any of you guys can help us? thanks a bunch

send it back if you can. I'm still trying to get a perfectly working Nexus

When I was having issues with my signal (my RIL and baseband did not match) I found this app mentioned in the modem thread https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril and it seems to have helped resolve the issue for me. Hopefully it'll be of some use for your friend if he is experiencing the same issue.
