Did you install some kind of wifi hack lately or does your rom use one,this would cause an issue.

does your phone see your home network? Have you tried going into your router utility and manually adding you phones MAC address into the MAC filter list.

Help? My 3g hotspot wont work

So basically I can start my hotspot and connect to it from NY computer but there is no internet and I did the usual hack of changing the security and default profile names. Any ideas why I get no connectivity ?

I tried *228 and then redid everything but still no internet.
I cant figure it out i have a feeling this is going to be like my contact sync (just stopped working one day hasnt ever worked since on my one account although all other accounts work)
Is this a Verizon app or wireless tether? I recommend the latter.

The Verizon app I prefer to use the Verizon app but it doesnt work so I've been using wireless tether.

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.

Yea, I thought so.
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).
Thanks ill try and check back

Do you have access control on? Idk if that has been said or not but mine wouldn't work till I turned it on and allowed my computer to use the internet.

Or try dialing *228 and reprogramming your service. That could do it
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Good idea
Over tried *228 options 1 and 2 but nothing seems to work for some reason no matter what I do all tethering craps out after a little bit and the 3g hotspot will never work it just shows up as connected with no internet

WIFI thethering problem

My Wifi thethering is not working..It shows me that I am connected, I can see the packets, however, my icon stays grey and I cannot get to any web pages...also, I notice that when I turn it on, it disables my Bluetooth on my phone....any suggestions??

Your sig says your on a Motorola, is that correct. But if your rooted there's a few good tether apps in the market. Also there's some good roms with it unlocked already.

[Q] Wifi issue after update

Noob here, after sprint update to my note 2, I cannot connect to my router when it is set to N only. If it is set to G and N, it connects, but at 54 g speed. Phone states wrong password, and I know its correct. Any thoughts? and Thanks
I would try different methods of security first. Sometimes a phone or rom can act buggy with one method and not another.

Try resetting the router and see if that helps
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
reset all
Reset router, restored original settings of router and tried long passphrase and a short one. Tried updating firmware of router, none available. Still will only connect to G, but when I set router to N only, it will not connect. States wrong password. I have a 100mbps service so i would like to take advantage of it.
did you flash perseus kernel by chance? I have been running the stock lk8 rom and kernel for 2 days...flashed perseus shortly after reading your post and I can now no l lo nger connect to "n"

edit 2....well...in my case it was just a router issue. restarted modem and router and all works

I am able to connect to my 5ghz N only network. Although it takes sometime for the phone to actually find it... That I'm not sure when especially when I am like 10 feet away from the router.
They resetting router and maybe change to encryption to aes only.

Sprint Internet and my phone...

For a while now I've been having some issues with my phone's Internet connection. I'd be in the same room the entire time and all of a sudden Internet is off for a few hours unless I reboot my phone or connect to wifi.
Even as I try to type this plea for help my Internet died on me and I had to restart my phone. Thankfully the xda app saves drafts.
I'm not sure if it's my phone's rom, an app, or whatever else. Any suggestions would what to do?
Rom: PACman
Cheers.

In recovery you can fix permissions under advanced in CwM

So just a general fix permissions setting? Not something like fix permissions for this app or something?

Yes, when you run fix permission in recovery it does everything. For the internet to 'just stop working,' that sounds like a network issue. I've known people on that rom for a good while and never stated that as an issue.
But the thing is the Internet isn't like this on my non rooted Samsung s3. So I feel like it's either my rom or an app gone crazy.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Try a new rom and see if that fixes the problem. Even reflash your rom. Wipe cache/dalvik/fix permissions. Go through all the motions and find out what works for you. I recommend going back to a stock rom to run updates (prl and stuff) and see if that fixes it. If all else fails try formating and start fresh.

Turn off connection optimizer, reboot and try again
If still nothing, flash any rom (i recommend freezas stock rooted just to check real quick) and try to connect to wifi

Yeah, try flashing another rom, the system mightve gotten corrupted somewhere along the way (and not the first i would see this happening either)
Is there anyway where I can just change a file name?
