So just rooted, and downloaded the wireless tether. But for some reason I can't get the ipad to get full ip connection. It connects, just not completely. Anyone else have this issue before?

Guess android and apple don't like messing with each other, lol (just had to put that in)...
But down to your question, have you try connecting a different device to see if you can connect? With your wireless tether on try connecting, like a laptop or other wireless device to see if you can connect. This will give you a better idea Of what's going on.
Did you change any settings for wireless tether?

I had the same issue with my iPod touch. I rooted and tried tethering on the stock rom and had the problem you had. I'm not sure if it was after I flashed a new kernel or a kernel and Fresh 3.2, but the next time I tried it, it worked perfectly. Maybe think about trying a new rom? Not sure of the actual problem.

I've never been able to connect a mobile phone via tether. Never tried an iPad though.

I am running Fresh 3.3.0.1 and my friends Ipad connects to it and works fine. I am using version 2.0.5-pre9 of wireless tether.
i know version 8 wont work with my apple stuff. version 7 works with ipad iphone i know. apparelntly so does 9
I'm running the Fresh 3.3 ROM with wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre9 and it works fine with my iPad.
I had a similar problem when I got Wireless Tether. It wouldn't fully connect to anything (win 7, ubuntu, droid 2.1, iphone or macbook) although the devices said they were at least partially connected (except the droid never could see it). Turns out the Wireless Tether app in the marketplace is old/doesn't work for the EVO/Froyo - or something.
Go here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
And download the latest version (pre9 at the top - after you've uninstalled the old version) and it should work. At least it did for me.
Im running Fresh 3.3.0.1 and the last Wifi Tether that I've downloaded and reinstalled I don't know how many times.
At some point the iPad was working great but all of the sudden it just stopped working.
My blackberry connects to the EVO without a problem.
The ipad connects and disconnects or it just spins while trying to connect even tho the phone says its connected.
Any ideas or any other wifi tethering apps suggestions?
Thanks.
I just rooted my stock EVO running Froyo, and installed wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre9. Although it seems to run fine, and my iPad connects, it can't connect to the Internet. Seems to be a common problem, as there are several people complaining.

Hmm...
I asked my buddy with an iPhone 4 to try and connect the other day and it worked just fine.
Granted, iPhone and iPad are not the same thing, so take that for what it is. Just saying.
I have an iPad and I run CM6+Snap and if you use CM6 DO NOT use Wireless Tether, use it's built in hotspot ability. If you use fresh. I never had a problem using the included version of Wifi Tether.
On stock rooted. Hard to say. I only very briefly use stock rom's. I would guess fresh/etc. make other adjustments to fine tune but not sure.
I do know there is nothing hardware-related that prevent an ipad from seeing android tethering.
One tip I've read about, try using Channel 1.
It does seem to be the best for maintaining connection when experiencing repeated drops.
I've connected to my 2 grandkids' Touchs (or is that touches .. lmao) but best results on ch.1
cheers
i have rooted my phone earlier today using unrevoked 3 and i have install the new version of wireless tether - pre 10 and although it shows my htc evos connection as local or limited connection on my computer, i have yet to gain internet access. it shows limited connectivity and doesnt allow me to go online. i am confused and give up.
yes must agree about channel 1 on on wifi tether. I have iPad ios4.2 beta 2 running on my hook to my evo using standard stock rom 2.2 rooted. Using pre8 edition wifi tether, sometimes starting connection would not connect right away. I suggest toggle wifi-tether on and off about 2 times and give the iPad time to connect, one more thing could try on iPad is utilize forget this network if applicable and see if that helps! Hope all works out okay for you.

Is your pc setup for DHCP?
oh boy, this issue again huh??
i almost returned my evo cuz my ipod touch 3gs wouldnt connect to it. sometimes it saw the connection sometimes it didnt...also it varied whether i had a passcode or not. i just gave up.
also, no phones can connect to it but my computer/laptop can. WEIRD!! i always maintained the latest wireless tether. once i root my phone again ill try this. but i will not get my hopes up.
also,
it sucks so bad that i have stopped using the ipod due to no internet and have gotten in deep with the g/f since she bought it for me...lol

This suggestion seems to have done the trick (toggling). I tried to connect using my old HTC Fuze and had no luck with that either. So I guess that puts doubt that the issue is client side.
I then turned WT off and back on. Lo and behold my Fuze was able to surf. Did the same with my WiFi only iPad.
I'm using the Pre9 version on my HTC stock 2.2 (rooted).
I couldnt get my evo to wifi to my ipad until I install wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre7.
Tried pre11,pre9 and it wouldnt work. As soon as I launched this the ipad connected right away.
Ok.. please excuse the ignorance about anything tethering lol... but can I connect my rooted evo to the Tmobile Samsung Galaxy tab?... and, obviously access theyre hspa+ network?
Thank you.
Stock 4.02 works fine for me but then again, im not in a 4G area. I flashed to 4.03 and noticed two issues.
Wifi Tether will not work with 4.03. I consistantly get errors in the startup log. Even worse, when on wifi at home im fine and my signal icons are blue meaning im connected to google servers. But if i disconnect off wifi and use my cellular 3G connection my signal icons stay grey and will not turn blue.
I had to flash back to 4.02 and instantly got blue icons on 3G and now my Wifi Tether works.
Anyone else got the same?

I read this was posted in the wrong place, sorry if I am just perpetuating the mistake but I wanted to respond with my experience with the 4.0.3 Radio. I have it installed on my SGN running Android Revolution HD 2.1.2 and Wireless Tether works fine, lasts a long time. I am running the latest Wireless Tether though (wifi_tether_v3_1-pre112).
Not sure if this helps, just thought I would share my experience. Carry on...
Hey guys I am having problems with the wifi hotspot on my Nexus with my Mac. It will connect fine but after about 5 min the internet will cut out but still remain connected. Have no problems with my iPhone 4 from work so it is something to do with the phone. Any ideas on how to fix it? Very frustrating.

Are you on 4.0.1? I heard that .1 has some kind of issues with tethering taht were solved in newer builds. Did you try to tether to some other computer?
Yeah I am on 4.0.1. Have not tried other computer. Have found turning location services off fixes the problem. Is it hard to flash to yakju build so I can get 4.0.2? Is there any way to do this to void my warranty?

IMHO this whole yakju-better-than-yakjusomething is over hyped. There were threads where yakjusomething builds got updates, and yakju didn't. I wouldn't bother my self to wipe phone and flash other builds If I were you, well I'm not going to do that since I have yakjuxw or something similar It's still a Nexus, you WILL get any update as soon as it will be possible! Earlier I had Nexus S i9023 with SLCD screen (I loved that screen BTW) and I was getting updates couple of weeks after Android sites started to write about them. It looks like Google disabled updates after battery complains from users. For some time now I haven't heard about anyone getting .3 or .2 update to any SGN. Just my thoughts, sorry for little OT
Thanks again for the reply. Yeah I might just leave it as it is until I get the update. Turning location services off doesn't seem to fix the problem it is still disconnecting. Will just use my iPhone 4 for now :-(
Have now also found that I can not connect the nexus through bluetooth either. The Mac won't even recognise it. Any way around this? Grrrr

Thanks mate . Bluetooth is working ok now. Have found an app called wifi hotspot which seems to be holding the connection.
im also having the exact same issue. i'm on att. running an AOSP custom 4.0.3 Rom. I tried using att's tether apn and it keeps reverting back to Cingular 410, however i dont believe this is the issue, i think its related to the OS itself. is it Mac related? i have no other computers to test it with :-/
Maybe this: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/1Yy1jb9z4TA will help? In the post there is a zip for mac
Hey mate thanks for the link unfortunately it doesn't make a difference and for some reason the net won't work on wifi hotspot at all now. It connects but that is it :-(.
I didn't have time to really look into it, but I have some idea. Can you try how will it work when you disable security in settings? I mean make it an open network for, a second and try some browsing
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
that seemed to work on my nexus one and iphone 4 when i tethered. tried it with my gnex, same results, still showing connected, but no internet access after 5-15 min. i checked the status log of wifi tether for android, as it was doing the same thing with this app, and the it showed the wifi interface disconnecting by itself, i didn't do anything. Definitely OS related. Interestingly enough, this has happened both on the stock kernel and this franco 9.2 i'm running right now. Likewise with stock rom and this my current rom. so who knows.....very annoying though. :-/
Ok, with the network open on the Nexus the connection is fine on my Mac. As soon as I enable security though I have problems. Thanks heaps for the help so far but is there any solution available for this? Not real keen on leaving my connection open.
Sorry to bump. I'm having this issue as well. Verizon Galaxy Nexus on 4.0.2. My MacBook Pro connects to the hotspot fine and works for a bit, but then stops working. I can run network diagnostics to make it work again, but I have to keep doing that every 5-10 minutes or so and it makes it too annoying to use.
My iPad 2, iPhone 4, TouchPad, and mom's Windows laptop works just fine and never have these issues. It's only my MacBook. Anybody find a solution yet?
Exactly the same problem here.. Galaxy Nexus tethered wifi macbook pro running 10.7.2. Stays connected, but stopps passing any packets. Ipad, and other devices are still connected working properly, and the phone itself can use the LTE data connection. I've tried stock 4.0.2, as well as AOKP 4.0.3 latest build.. no luck. I've also tried both the native AP and android-wifi-tether too. Any help would be appreciated and rewarded.
---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------
PS - I even have the tethering option enabled on my Verizon account... (in case you were thinking it had something to do with big red blocking data)
I am still suffering this problem too. :-(. It is a real issue when I work outside the office a lot and do not have any problems with my work Iphone 4. I found pdanet works connected by USB but you can not access secure sites on the free version. Is there good alternative to pdanet?
hey guys. i now use an open network when i tether. it seems to keep a stable internet connection (packets transferring). the longest i've maintained a working tethering connection has been 2 hours....so it seemed good enough for me. Let me know how u guys fair if u do try an open network. still a weird issue imo that doesn't have too many solutions or even suggestions in the xda community (probably cause not many are tethering?). gl.
Hey, when I put my phone to an open connection mine is stable too. Must be something to do with the security. Wish there was a solution, I can't keep mine open the whole time :-(.
Anyone found a fix for this yet? Just about to return mine, tired of it not working. Have updated to 4.02 and my Mac to 10.7.3
Yes I used the Search feature, still no satisfactory resoultion...
I have rooted several phones over the past few weeks (with different bootloaders), Evo 4Gs, one tethers, one doesn't, Droid RAZRs, both tether, Droid 3s, neither tether (I read the TBH thread, so...), E4GT neither tether (mine included but am running Phantom's Rom so no worries there).
I am at my wits end. The apk(s) used to work before, but as of late I am not having any success at all. Android Tether lists in my networks, my pc and laptop will connect, internet access is detected, they connect but NONE of my browsers are able to connect.
I never had this problem, never had to change any settings in the apk(s), and never had to change my pc(s) configuration. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone know what is going on?

Try FoxFi, free at Google Play. I had issues tethering E4GT. This app works great for Samsung & Motorola. All others, maybe Bluetooth.

Wifi Tether (Im using 3.1 beta11 pulled from Calk's ICS roms) works if you change the device profile to "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)". I always enable the access control and allow the pc accessing.
The hacked sprint hotspot has always worked for me on gingerbread as well i prefer it but use the other atm on ICS.
Wifi Tether wont work properly until you change it to thet CDMA/LTE Nexus it gives the same issue you describe without the change.

Ok but what are you running ICS or GB because there is an answer to both.... If you are rooted the stock wifi tether works fine so can we have a little more info although the answers you have gotten so far a pretty damn good.
Thanks
I switched to my Nexus S 4G to give the ICS ROMS a spin and really loved it but missed my E4GT so I recently switched back. I am currently on Phantom's EL26 (Gingerbread) from way back when. I found that the EL 26 modem gives me the best battery life by far and I like the debloated stock because I am running SPB SHELL 3D launcher (cracked-pm me).
I have so many Google Wifi Tether apks on my pc and dug up the wifi_tether_v3_1-pre101.apk and changed the channel to 6. It works now.
The Sprint Hotspot comes fully functional on the ROM that I am on but it was really bugging me that I couldn't get the google wifi tether to work on friends' and family's phones. There must be a bug in the newest release or something.
FIFOX said that HTC has a block on wifi tether when I tried to install it on my friend's Evo 4G.
I am going to use the TBH thread to change the radio strings on my friend's Droid 3 so he can tether. We'll see how that goes later today.
-worked like a charm; rewrote the strings with RadioCom and changed the entitleent with sqlite editor, using the most recent google wifi tether apk on chanel 6.
Thanks for all the input. I'm gonna hit the thanks button for you all.
PEACE!
Has anyone had issues with WiFi not picking up? I have three phones one skyrocket and two art s3 running all different builds and none will connect to WiFi they see the WiFi but won't obtain IP even if I disable data packets. The s3's are running KT kernel so thinking maybe keep that off and reflash?

if all 3 of your phones are not connecting, it only makes me think its an issue with your router.
Agree. Test the phones on other networks, and bring another device to the network you're having issues with to verify. If three different wi-fi enabled devices are having trouble connecting, it's probably the router. This is what I do at work all day >_<

Your right it was the router it supports WPS but the handshake was not compatible 802.11n+m I changed the router to 801.11b it works on all of the phones. I seen other issues regarding this on various threads it may be a default setting via one of the kernels the 802.11b mixed with something else or that it does not auto detect as I did assume.
My bad, jumped the gun due to other posts related to AOSP and AOKP builds after 4.0.4.
Thanks,

Thats not really true .. I experienced the same issue in regards to my S3 running anything that was AOKP/CM10 etc etc .. I started a thread about my issue under the Q&A section in which we found a resolution .. and it had nothing to do with a+b+g+n !!!
I have a LinkSys E4200 router .. on stock/leak builds, my phone connected instantly .. anytime I flashed AOKP, CM10 variations .. my phone saw the router, saw the SSID's .. but refused to connect via DHCP .. it would connect however by static !! This was driving a few people nuts .. and for some real strange reason, it had to do with the naming of the SSID that was causing the problem !!
My old SSID was "lordgeek_24" and "lordgeek_5" .. for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands .. everything set to mixed connectivity. All I did was renamed my SSID's to "LordG33K24" and "LordG33K5" .. kept everything else the same (WPA2) .. and WHAMMM .. my phone connected instantly .. I'm running the Nightly CM10 .. since renaming my SSID's .. NO PROBLEMS :victory:
And my and a few others issue is slow download speeds on wifi.

I have really bad download speeds on AOKP Task and Ktoonsez and running KT kernel. I do not have LTE yet but H+ is faster than my WiFi which is 5Gbit/sec. I can only get about 1550 of 5 whereas my girlfriend gets 5 on her Atrix I've searched for hours for an answer and this thread is what I've finally found. Can anyone help me fix this before I go to the ROM or kernel thread? Thanks.

No just this router. Its a Net gear WNR2000. I updated the firmware and have reset the modem and still only half the data speed I should be getting. I am going to change the SSID and change channels when I get home and check the results. Any other suggestions I should try?
