For some reason, I notice that when I turn off my tether, it still shows as a connection that you can connect to. Those who are connected already, still have some internet (though, it's very slow). I have to restart the phone to get it to go away/save battery. Anyone else have this? Tried a few different tethers (except the built in one in the system) and they had the same result.
to be honest I believe the default one works the best its the most stable one I seen so far and it has infrastructure mode I only been able to test 3g so far but it states 4g is working fine as well.All you have to do is flash it in recovery.The link is for the hotspot hack

Well.
Rooted/Rom'd/Kernel'd my phone earlier today, went just fine (netarchy 421more beta, ava v10).
Only problem is when i wifi tether, the 3rd party apps won't work. Sprint's hotspot works fine but when i try to connect with barnacle/a couple others it connects, then about 10 seconds after connected i lose internet access, but the wireless signal is still being recieved. I fiddled with settings etc and no luck.
Sprint's stock app works fine, and 3g tether is my primary connection source as i live in the middle of nowhere (good for everything but fps games, 200ping not cool). My connection shows 3 {+/-1} bars most of the time, speeds top out at 200kb/s dl. If i use sprint's hotspot app in my rooted phone do i still have to pay 30$/m for the hotspot service?
i don't recall any outside links in my post. (edit, declares all (at) symbols outside links.)
edit; lack of responses. easier question; Does a rooted phone using sprint's hotspot app still have to pay 30$/mo for use of it?

ok, so your using barnacle to do you tethering. Unless sprint hotspot is unlocked with calkuins hack, then yes you will have to pay for the tethering using, i believe it wont work if havent already paid for the feature. I suggest checking back with the Original Poster's ROM thread. Try using wireless tethering! the best out there, try this link
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Note: all the PRE-releases are EXPERIMENTAL, and can cause Fcs (force close) so if you dont feel comfortable with a pre-release, dl a stable set, ex: 2.02 (something like that) give me back results if this works for you bro.
ava v10 came with the latest version of that, i don't understand why it isn't working correctly.
I can connect/recognize but as soon as i try to load a page it goes using that.
That'd be with 100% signal strength + connected and "no internet access"

ava 10....haha, ok. The sprint hotspot it hacked. Whatcha do is:
1)activate wireless tethering, and sprint hotspot should activate too.
2)connect to your wireless tethering, not the hotspot,then turn off wireless tethering, and your pc will lose the connection.
3)try turning wireless tethering back on, and connect as fast as possible. It should go through this time. Happens to me and a few others that run roms with calkuin's tether hack.
Report back with result.
if you need more help, you can contact me via Talk. (gmail account)

yeah... that didn't work either, do you know of a way to unlock sprint 3g hotspot/wifi tether without changing to his rom?
otherwise i'll just load his up as i don't really have another option...

well lets fix this, you are new right? what kind of rom are you wanting so i can give you the link to a good rom.
Just look for MIUI 11.12 or 11.19
Virus base and Virus Anthrax series
also FRESH
Myn's WARM twopointwo
and another good rom is CM 6.1
last but not least Ultimate Droid
had the phone over a year now, never had an issue before.
As soon as you turn on the portable wifi hotspot, i loose the 3g/h symbol from the top of the screen and from that no data conectivity?
and as sopon as you turn the wifi hotspot off, it regains an internet conection
Any ideas, ive not installed any apps recently, as far as i can remember?
Do you get an internet connection when another device connects to your phone's wifi hotspot.
If you are able to connect, then it must be working, as it's the 3G signal that the phone uses to connect the wifi to the internet. It might remove the icon, but if you can connect then it's fine.
nope, can conect my ipad to the DHDs hotspot but no internet.
the same for when i turn the hotspot on, cant brouse anything on the phone as no data conection
still not sorted this, anyone else got a aide or something to sort this?
First post (longtime lurker)
I've got the same problem here although this has only started happening in the last couple of days. The phone's data connection is fine until you enable the wifi hotspot at which point the connection is dropped to the phone, connecting any devices to the phone is fine, they get an IP address and can ping the phone directly, but beyond the phone there's nothing.
Rebooting the phone does not help.
The only app I've installed recently is Google Shopper.
Out of curiosity Fil what ROM are you using? I'm on RCMix3d Runny 3.0 which is based on Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5. I'm looking at switching to an ICS build pretty soon.
It also looks like we're on the same network although I think that's just coincidence.
yep sounds exactly the same issue,
as for rom, still on t-mobiles original 2.50.110.5 Adroid 2.3.3
was thinking of flashing something custom to see if it solved the problem
I've just flashed IceColdSandwich today at work (it's been a slow day!) and you'll be pleased to know that wireless tethering is working again. I'm on the train home as I type this. It's possibly something in the 2.3 image? I can't really say since we both had different ROMs (mine was a Sensation port). It could just be a bad bit of code in the gingerbread OS that produces this bug on rare occasions.
It may have something to do with the fact that T-Mobile and Orange allow you to roam on eachother's networks. Do you have roaming enabled?
To be honest I'm just stabbing wildly at possible causes here and a flash fixed it anyway. I went ICS but I don't think you'd have to go that extreme but flashing a new ROM overwrites whatever it is that caused this in the first place.
I'm just hoping it's fixed in ICS and won't happen again!
cheers, enabled data roaming, and it now works!
Since the issue, my batterys turned to crap! guessing thats the cause constantly jumping networks, and also data speeds have been very poor lately, was ok when just t-mobile, but orange is poor!
Off to the t-mobile foeums to see if its just me, or others!
Ok i am having trouble with getting the right tethering app for this rom.I have been searching since the 26th for a tethering app that works right,I have used barnicle,easy tethering(works but not wireless),Wireless Tethering(Saids starting but also logs error)Im needing a wireless tethering app that will actually work like its suppose to because my phone is the only way i can use my internet and me and my wife normally use it on both of our laptops at the same time.Im not A verizon customer.I personally flashed my Dinc 2 to Cricket.I do have a tethering plan but since i flashed from 2.3.3 rom my wireless tethering doesnt work..Barnicle works sometimes but connection speed is 11mbs when stock tethering was running 54mbs...The app is really slow and then when me and my wife gets on from our laptops at the same time it acts like it kicks me or her off to run on just one laptop at a time...Can someone please help???Does anyone know how i can fix this or is there a app that im not finding that actually works like system 3g Hotspot???Thank yall
No network
I flashed this ROM last night and lost any network connection, not sure why, could connect over wifi, I'm hoping thee is a fix for the tethering because I use the phone for internet at work and use Barnacle, which has always worked flawlessly.
Barnacle works fine as far as I can tell. Using it now.
I'm using barnacle as well, but you only get ad-hoc mode. Has anyone had luck with wifi tether or opengarden or any of the other apps? I need to get on my work VPN, but it doesn't connect through ad-hoc, so barnacle is no good for that.
Hello everyone,
I have flashed several ROMs already and my unit works perfectly. I did notice when i left the house (wifi), i was no data connection on my phone when using 3G connection only.. all the settings are correct like the APN, i tried several browser too. However when i enable the tethering, my tablet works perfectly
My phone can tethering to my tablet (works)
I use WIFI at home, i can surf the internet (so browser works)
when using the phone for browsing using 3G, no data is coming thru.
I hope someone knows the solution for this. I tried searching but found nothing.
i really feel stupid but is this a normal issue? ap shows, windows connects but it doesnt recieve any data from the phone.
any workaround or a good rom that has it working? its the only reason i bought this phone and with 200kbps internet i can't download and try 20 different ROMs.
thankya
