The thread shows some 3rd part apps for wifi tethering. But when I install them and give them root permissions the wifi does not start. Under wifi it shows (Error).

Test if your WiFi antenna is misplaced.
Remove battery lid and put it back on again, making sure its proper on

This is a pretty common issue for custom roms. And in most custom rom, they should be fixed already.
In my opinion, the problem you are facing is most likely rom related issue, so it is best you go back to the thread where u downloaded the rom and browse through to see fixes. Or simply update to the latest version of your rom.

well i went through the forum and to my surprise or unfortune no one has reported abt the issue i m facing. and i checked the rom official site,the rom i m using is indeed the latest stable rom, i even checked my phone's wifi antenna its not hampered or has moved from its position.

You can try re-downloading cm7.2rc3. If it doesn't work, download cm7.2rc2 to see if it works, restore your apps after you find out if it's working. That rom is Gb and shouldn't be having those issues.

Well this is what I ve done.I was using cynogenmod rc2. I flashed rc3 hoping this would fix the issue. So thing is if i flash it back to rc2 it would not add up to solution.

Sorry, coffee hasn't kicked in yet. I have no idea what you just said.
Sent from a dream.

let me explain in a very explicit manner possible. i was using cynogenmod 7.2rc2 long back with same wifi problem so some user on xda advised me to update the rom to latest version ;7.2rc3, so i did the update.but when i started facing same problem with 7.2rc3, i reported this in a post on xda to which u replied to downgrade the rom to rc2. but as i ve aforementioned that before reporting it on xda i was using 7.2rc2 version with the same wifi problem so corollary of this is if i downgrade it back to rc2 there ll b no difference except i ve to redownload my apps and configure settings.

and one thing more i ve re-flashed the cynogenmod7.2rc3 but that also does not work.

Does it happen with other roms?

Just want to make sure. You re-downloaded the file and flashed with a clean install and the same problem happens, right?
Sent from a dream.

yes i downloaded the file from cynogenmod official page. and did all the recommended steps like wiping cache,formatting,wipinkg dalvik cache and wiping battery stats.

I just did a quick search and couldn't find anything either.
When you try to use the usb or wifi tethering, to what are you connecting to? to a laptop? what operating system are you using on the laptop if such is the case?

yes i m connecting to a laptop. its dell n5010. os is windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

Damn, I accidentally thanked you. I was saving that one since it was going to be the 100th thanks I was going to give.
Go to the market, download cat log or any other way you prefer to create a logcat and post it in the cyanogen forum, or here see if someone can help. I'm thinking it's something particular to your phone/radio/service provider.
I'll flash the rom either tonight when I get home or tomorrow when I have some time. But I doubt I'll be able to reproduce the same issue.
Edit: have you tried fixing permissions in 4ext recocery or whatever you use? Sometimes it helps.
Sent from a dream.

what does this logcat do and is it a android software or what? sorry for the noob question since i vent heard this logcat thing before.

Search for logcat and find which one you are more comfortable using. There are several ways of getting one.
Logcats help developers figure out what is causing the problem.

[Q] Problem with flash player with custom roms

Hi there, long story short - with revolution and leedroid my flash player isn't working correctly (when I load some site with flash based banners in it I got error massage: "page cannot be displayed check...and so on" on their place+some flash based video players on sites are not working). I tried to reinstall the flash player, turn off/on my phone, etc,but without any luck. I did full wipe when I installed the roms+I checked md5. I also tried tb-stock - on it banners looks fine, but still can't play video on some sites :/. I just don't know what the issue is. The roms where installed going with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769 it was easy and run smoothly, except the f*c*ed up flash... (with is a problem, because I use my device as tablet a lot). Btw, as I am asking, is there any simple method to reverse my phone to stock, just asking in case noone can't help with my personal drama(I backed up the downgraded rom, if that helps).
I searched the forum+roms threads, but didn't find anyone else with that problem. Sorry for my incompetence on the matter, and I hope you can/want to give me some tips. Thanks in advance .
P.S. Also, sorry if that's not the right place for this thread, but I think it suit it best (I can't post in the dev section - 10 post rule ftw ).
have you tried a different kernel?
Yes, same :/. It all began with my desire to overclock... tried unity_v2 for example on the revolution(as it was adv from 2-3 people around), but it's the same, didn't help at all.
LeeDrOiD updated to 3.2.0 fixed the issue 100 %.
There is also a 3.2.1 patch available dl using ROM Manager to sort out any very minor lag you may have. Works for some, not others.
I have never had lag (Edit: in current build) or his last few builds running everything as per my signature.

I saw leedroid 3.2 changelog and hope the same as you say, but when I installed it... same thing :/. Btw, leedroid lags, when for instance I watch video from youtube(yes, youtube works, tho it crashes a lot..), there is like slowdown-normal speed-slow down-normal speed, but thats not the main issue(or have something to do with the f*c*ed flash player. I just don't get it, I did everything as it should be done, its not hard... and I get that bug, but noone else got it, lol wut :<. Some other idea? What I do wrong?
EDIT: The problems was caused from adfree part of the roms as it seems, I will research more on the subject after work, but it defo looks like that. All my thankfulness goes to mike1986, and all that helped me out.
Full wipe all available partitions to ext4 before flashing ROM with latest CWM ext4 version.
Make sure you don't restore system apps and data, particularly flash. Don't want to carry one bug from ROM to ROM.

After clean installing and let ROM operating smoothly, I'm install all app that I used everyday and doing reboot. Suddenly I lost the gsm signal. I had to reinstall back the whole ROM again and just fine after that but i'm afraid to do reboot again. I'm assume it will happen again. Anybody had a same problem?
this room in my opition is the best for arc, but i got a problem when i update to v6 the drain battery goes to high, in night it drops 11% , wifi and music 53% in 3hours.
in version v5 this is more stable and no much drain, like 2% in a night.
can i do something?

happened to me also, but on viper 5. was pretty f*cked up, as I needed the phone badly in that moment :/
on viper 6 it didn´t happen, though I reverted back to 4.5, which gives the best performance.
Some features are missing, but 6.0 was unusable for me due to some Bugs and lags in gaming.
Rush Kernel 13 is the one I´m using atm, haven´t found a kernel that gives more speed and perfmormance yet.

No one had that kind of probelm as far that i know.try flashing another kernel like Vengeance or Lupus it may solve your problem.make a backup with Cwm before you test any thing, if you do loos your signal than you can restore your backup again without installing every thing again.

Vengeance is good or lupus try those. and i am having no lags at all even not in nfs Mostwanted and which features are missing ? did you let your rom settle it down for a day or 2 ?? you know rom takes time to settle it self some time even a weak.afterwords things that your are having trouble with search here on xda and solve them one by one.i do it too like with every rom that i use Jerry is doing his best to provide us better cooked roms.

[Q] Wifi tethering with CM10.1 (TeamCanjica)

Hello, I switch from stock rom to CM10.1 latest nightly (081013) and it seems I can't have wifi tether working.
It activate ok and I set a more than 8 letters password.
My laptop or tablet manage to connect to the phone but they have no internet connection. I checked the phone still have an internet connection of course.
Any idea what i can try? already try wiping cache and dalvik but it changes nothing.
that's a pity because CM10.1 is quite faster smoother and battery saving than stock. I'm very happy with it but i need wifi tether )
thanks in advance for help.
Try latest build. From 13th.

I have no idea, but flashing stock rom sometimes helps.
I just installed XXMH1. Tested wifi tethering and it was working perfectly.
Installed back CM10.1 (today's build) and still the same problem. can connect but no internet ;_;
can it be a wifi channel problem? is there a way to change it like in stock rom?
Tethering is working perfectly for me... It is problem at your end...
Sent from my GT-I8160
Wifi tethering works fine for me on CM 10.1 as well. Something that I did not noticed before is that on my Windows 7 64-bit client, I had to manully run the command ipconfig /release (to release the current IP assignment) and ipconfig /renew (to request new address from phone DHCP server)
These are to be run from Command Prompt with Administrative rights.

Couple of Issues

Hello, I have Samsung Galaxy S Glide AKA Samsung Captivate Glide, Rooted to 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with ATT Rogers Rom. Kernel Version is 3.1.10
Basically the problem that I have is when I am at school and have my WiFi on I lose connection. I have to keep turning on and off my WiFi because the orange down arrow stops as I only get upload then. I heard its because there are many routers at my school therefore it has problems.
Also when I log in to snapchat, snapchat minimizes it self and goes back to my app screen no error was giving it didn't even say snapchat has stop responding.
Sounds like a kernel (or better kernel wifi module) issue.
Try CM or sediROM.

Sounds like a kernel (or better kernel wifi module) issue.
Try CM or sediROM.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Kind of odd that WiFi works at home perfectly fine but not at school. Should I update the Kernel first with keeping the ATT Rogers Rom? or should I just totally update the Rom to sediROM or CM?

Well that depends on your own. I strongly believe that this is a kernel issue so you could start with that. The sediROM installer contains all available ICS kernels but you should not use the installer when you do not want to INSTALL/MODIFY a sediROM installation. But within the sediROM zip so after extracting it you will find several kernels/bootimages in /custom/..../ (don't know the exact subdir atm) but you will see it.
But BEWARE: you can easily at least softbrick your phone if you do a mistake or choosing the wrong kernel. So if you don't know how to unbrick or if you really depend on your phone you should think twice the same for installing a custom ROM like CM or sediROM of course (even the risk of failures are minimal here)!
Do never skipping backups of device,efs, etc regardless which way you want to go! Get familar with unbricking your device and keep adb in place.

I will check out wifi at school tomorrow. Snapchat still crashes this time gives me "unfortunately snapchat has stopped" Does anyone have that app working on this phone?
Edit: Funny thing is it works if you create a new account
Edit #2 also updating ROM didn't help with wifi

1. It works when you make new account and you dont log out. But logging into existing one gives me problems
2. I am using KK 4.4 CM 11.0 - WiFi still gives me issue but not as much as it did before.

1: pls contact snapchat support. Seems to be not a problem of ROM or phone
2: well you can try other ROMs until you find a good one. Or you could give sediROM a try if you like. After installation test wifi. If it is not fine you can restart the installer (like reflash but then choose "modify mode" in the setup screen) and choose another kernel there.
Test wifi and if it is not fine restart that procedure with another kernel!
If you want to try the 2.0 BETA write me a PM it contains even more kernels. That way you could try all available kernels to find the one which is best working for you.
