I tried wifi tethering on 2.3.3. Once you activate it you can connect to the wifi hotspot very quickly, but whether you connect a device or not, 3 seconds after activating the wifi hotspot my internet connection switches off. Ones you deactivate the wifi hotspot, internet is back on. I have upgraded the system to 2.3.4, but the problem is still there. I want to buy a wifi tablet so I need to share my mobile internet connection. Has this happened to anyone?

what phone do you have? r800i r800x r800 etc. also what wifi tethering app are you using? is your phone rooted?
My phone is a R800i, bootloaders locked, rooted with zerglingrush. I am using the native app, under wifi settings, but I have used sever apps with the same result. I'd rather use the native app. Thanks for answering by the by.
I am also having tethering issues.....
Stock 2.3.3 doomkernel bootloader unlocked and rooted....
Also upgraded to 2.3.4 doomkernel v08 + wifi zip and still having the same problem....
Another phone and tablet cannot see my wifi connection, my phone can see other wifi connections from the other android phone though.....
Wifi and bluetooth works on it as I can connect to my home wifi connection and bluetooth with the car stereo......
Any ideas what I can try?
Going to try a few different software off the market..... Thanks....

Ah, just tried Open Garden from the market and my wifi tethering is working, now I can put to use my all you can eat data plan with tethering
I am also having the issue,
2.3.4, Doomkernel v8 + wifi zip
could try barnacle wifi tether.
Must have been a kernel issue. I flashed DoomKernel and it is now working flawlessly.

I dont think so. I have doomkernel v11 and i use tethering oft on classes and it works perfectly. maybe he is using any app which is turning data off when he starts any wifi - even tethering? this can be apps which help to extend battery life...

So after finding a cheap(er) was of getting mobile internet whilst I am roaming in Europe this summer, my plan is to use my Desire as a mobile hot spot and connect other phones and laptops via it as needed.
I have tested this and it works fine.
But I also have an iPass client installed on my phone which is great for hotel wifi etc but I was wondering if there was any way to make the phone act as a wifi hotspot even when it is using wifi itself to connect to the internet?
Thanks
Dun think so. Possibly there is an app on the market that does it. I do know that wifi will get disabled when u activate hotspot though. Tried routing my wifi through my phone. Doesn't work
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
No. The hardware is either doing one thing or the other...can't do both. Unless you can find a phone with more than one Wifi chip in it.
Is there a way how to start 3g wifi hotspot on my defy running CM7?
download 'wireless tether' from market, works like a charm
it does not support infrastructure mode!
isn't working...
Hi there
I'm using nightly 110722 CM7 and almost everything is working flawless... I just couldn't found the wireless tether that should be available.
So my question is, and I'm sorry if it's a dumb one, the "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot" option isn't available for Defy, or this is a "feature" of my Defy with green lens?
On the stock rom I remember that was a 3G Hotspot app, but it never worked.
I had installed Wireless Tether and gave to it root permissions, the software tells me that it is working, but nobody can see or connect to my network.
Thanks.
Use "Barnacle Wifi Tether".
Tested and works fine(Ad hoc).

I had to use another custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156855) to make the the hotspot (infrastructure mode) working and I'm very happy with it.

Hello Theles!
To fix your hotspot app you have to set your apn settings correctly.
You can try APN Brasil (https://market.android.com/details?id=br.com.droidbrasil.apnbrasil&feature=search_result).
Then you have to set this parameter on the APN you're using:
APN Type: default,dun
I use wireless tethering from the market...ad hoc is fine for me since i just wanted to share for my ipad2 wifi
Hi
This is an old topic, I know. But now, the CM7 is offering Wireless and USB tether natively, under Wireless Network configurations.
I'm using the Nightly build 110822-1650 by Jordan and it's working like a charm, and, in infrastructure mode with WPA2, etc...
Thanks guys.
I am am on Boost Mobile, Rooted, running flashed ZVC. WiFi Tether will not connect to my PC , it first says " limited connection" then drops completely. I've tried FoXFi and get the same result. I tried it on my POS old Galaxy that I use for Hotspot and it works fine. I had a ZTE Warp on Boost and both WiFi apps work fine as of last Friday. It has to be the phone. Any help on this will be much appreciated. Thanks..:laugh:
EDIT & UPDATE : FOR "WIFI TETHER" trevE mod----- I FOUND A FIX FOR THIS ON AN OLD SITE.....CHECK IT OUT AND HOPE IT HELPS!!!

Does anyone else have problems with wifi tethering? It seems to happen for me with any rom, currently though using JellySlim_FullPower [HSD Project 4].
My problem is I start the wifi tethering from my Xperia S, then on my Windows 7 PC I can connect no problem at all and usually it works fine - The problem then is if I try and connect to the same hotspot with another device at the same (Xperia T / Nexus 7 2013). Within minutes of more than one device been connected to my Xperia S wifi hotspot all the connections drop, then on Windows 7 I get the Limited Connectivity and yellow exclamation mark.
To keep it simple, wifi tethering seems to work when only one device is connected to the hotspot, but it seems having multiple devices connected causes the connection to lose internet.
Has anyone else experienced this, have a solution maybe? I am wondering if there is a setting to allow x amount of connections at once or something
Thanks.

The only thing I can do is connect phone to PC and use USB tethering for internet on PC, then to share with another device also use hotspot.
Again though, any more devices using the same hotspot drops all the connections. I cannot find a resolution.

Have you tryed with kitkat how tethering works?
Two months later and so many many wasted hours, looks like solution found! Luckyly by my self
Go to your pc wlan device properties and change from internet protocol verion propeties ip to automatic.
I hope this helps help someone else.
Strangely two other phone tethers ok even ip wasn´t automatic. Not sure when that setting was change. Or was it.
I use many file sharing apps like Sender & Share it. While it uses hotspot tethering for Sharing file, after recent update to 6.0 there is no option for tethering & portable hotspot in setting. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
i have the same problem. there is no setting for hotspot option.
Yeah. thanks Google ! Maybe on Android 7.0 you can remove wifi and gps aswell and on 8.0, remove Play Store

WiFi hotspot or tethering works on devices which have other ways of connecting to internet aside from WiFi connection so the internet can be shared from that other source (like cellular data access) through WiFi. So technically the availability of the WiFi hitspot or tethering option on the previous vesrsions of Android was meaningless and Google made the right decision to remove it from devices which are incapable of using it in Marshmallow. By the way, I beleive applications you mentioned in your post use being-on-the-same-network and WiFi Direct technologies to share files between devices not WiFi Hotspots or tethering.
Ok but how about usb tethering? That had to be removed also ?

I think Google believes that nowadays every PC or Laptop has WiFi adapter by default so they can use their own WiFi adapter to connect to the internet.
well my laptop's wifi doesnt working and i was using my n7's usb tethering to connect internet and now after the patch it is gone. i just dont understand why. I was even able to share my files with hotspot to everyone around me and i was able to use airdoid or wifi transfer without any internet connection. I will go back to lollipop 5.1.1..
