I have wifi tether app installed but when I open and run it it constantly acts like it looses 3g connection. computer will connect with local access only. phone will have 3g logo and will switch between up and down arrows then have both then none then the 3g logo will dissapear. it acts like it is constantly switching between channel/signals but never stays connected. I am on a rooted 2.3.4 using downgrade and s-off running stock+ rom. I had wifi tether working in the past after root and rom but now it doesnt. my wife is on a rooted 2.2 with no issues. we have same settings and radios and hers works fine. I have used tb to uninstall and restore older versions I have uninstalled and downloaded the newest apk version I could find and it still does the same thing. The phone has no issues connecting to other wifi hotspots(home or public) and work fine on its own data for internet surfing. the only problem Im having is with wifi tether to connect laptop to.
radio is 2.15.00.07.28
software 4.08.605.2
any ideas or different free rooted apps?
running wifi_tether_v3_1-pre105.apk

Therr is a way to change settings in the epst menu which you access by dialing ##778#, that will allow you to use the stock hotspot app for free.

Dial ##778# and hit call. A menu should appear, select edit mode. A password box will appear enter six zero's (000000) as the password. A menu will appear select security. Look for and change any entries that look like "your#@dun.vzw3g.com" remove the "dun." so it looks like "your#@vzw3g.com". Then hit back to the main menu and select M.IP Default profile and look for and change the same entries as before. Once done hit menu and commit changes, the phone will reboot. Once rebooted use the stock app as normal ignoring the you must subscribe to this service message. Note if you do a *228 option 1, an ruu, or a factory reset from the settings menu or hboot, or have to reactivate the phone, you will have to edit the settings again before using the stock hotspot app. I have been doing it for years and verizion is none the wiser. There are either 2 or 3 entries which need to be edited.

This goes under development because its a problem with my phone regarding the development so before the cyanogen rom release i had eugene's froyo5 and it worked fine.. well my fiance picked up the phone ****ed around with it and now no matter what 2.2 rom i use i can't get INTERNET sites to load or.. MARKET to sync my account or communicate this is with cyanogen rom and eugene's froyo6.. now my wifi will see connections connect and even gather info/ip addy from the wifi however it will not let me load pages ect.. now in 2.1 running the old RADIO + Slidemeroot5 or whatever it's called the stock with root it will go into the wifi/find/communincate and load my MARKET/INTERNET just fine.. so it has to be with a setting that would stay threw data/cache wipe with Cyanogen Kanged heres the thing.. I've wiped many times I've even tried restoring old backups from froyo5 they no longer let me sync/internet/market so.. anyone who can find a solution will receive an IMMEDIATE $20.00 donate and if done in a timely fashion an addition $10.00...
I will not be able to RE-ROOT or UN-ROOT my phone as i do not have my USB cable anymore

Lol! Yeah, it sounds about right. I have'd had that streak before.
menu, settings, wireless networks, mobile networks, access point name
Google tmobile apn android and they'll list the proper apn settings. I don't have time to type them all out right now.
oppsy, I see some folks beat me to it and you need the at&t settings anyways. Just google at&t android apn settings. That should do it.
you will need proper APN setting for your carrier, google that shiz and you should be good to go, then you will just need to add the APN to your phone from that same screen
apns are different for each carrier, google APN <carrier> mytouch slide(or just android)

Huh? No data plan huh. Yeah, that will matter. Umm, so you have been using wifi to access internet right?
Okay from what I understand... wifi is real iffy with the 2.2 ports. You might have to select static and type in your ip settings from your pc. Just go on the pc and run command prompt and type ipconfig. That will tell your ip setting and enter them into the correct slots on your phone. Its under menu settings wireless& networks wifi settings menu advanced select static ip
well is data is off then you aren't going to be getting on the interwebs, are you saying that with wifi you can't load pages?

Yeah, he's basically saying wifi isnt sending data to the phone. I edited my previous post to show him how to set up a static network.

yes I had wifi working fine on newslide.zip or myupdate.zip from eugene and all builds before in last 2 days wifis has stopped working... unknown why
Reread the first post. It says my WIFI will connect info and all that and above he states he doesn't have a data plan so its going to have to be wifi hes on.
Now I am having the same problem ever since I flashed the ROM and wiped twice and reflashed twice. Trying static IP now.
alas no luck on STATIC, question is why would I need to set up static when it should auto connect and auto know ya know? i'd like to be able to use WIFI outside of my home aswell
So right now it doesn't work on any rom now? If it's the cyan kernel, try dumfuq's oc kernel, I know it sounds strange but i tried one of cyan's kernel and somethings stopped working, led flashlight is one...Tried the new dumfuq and it worked for me. No promises though that it will work for your wifi problem.
your ip address of your router is 192.168.0.1 which means that your IP address of your phone will have to be 192.168.0.x since the computer is 192.168.0.199 i would try something around the 199 range(try going plus or minus 10) so either 192.168.0.189 or 192.168.0.209
also you will have to set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 and gateway to 192.168.0.1

ERROR from Market..
You don't have a network connection.
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. please try again when connected to a mobile network or connect to a wifi network, if the problem continues call customer service..
then gives me option to connect to wifi but i am connected

If it worked before on myfroyo 5, then push the apn.conf into /system/etc
or
You can try pushing the apn.conf file from the aria into /system/etc
then do a factory reset..
may or may not work

Hi,
Have flashed CM7 rc1.5 over my stock sbf = no problems except no data connection and android process media force closing repeatedly tried all settings I could think of , ( including Baseband switcher).
Had no joy so flashed ( via rsd lite) the recommended 3.4.2-179-2 CEE DEBLUR sbf and data worked again . Put CM7 back on and got exactly same 2 problems .
Been trying loads of different settings all day and media force close issue has disappeared by luck I think .
But main issue is still no data - phone status shows " mobile network type hspa",
but "mobile network state disconnected"
Really hope for a fix as it's a sickening thought to go back to 2.2
Thanks for any thoughts.
Same issue. I could not turn on data (no arrows in the taskbar). Tried clear caches, factory reset it helped for a while. But now i have the similar issue (arrows are in the taskbar, but they don't go green).
Baseband switcher?
Tried baseband switcher (pretty much every alternative) , but still no connection at all.
try harder. It should be a baseband problem really.
Also check if the access point configured correctly.
did you also try network operators? if your carrier appears more than once, pick the top one.
Go to settings then wireless and network then mobile networks then accesses points click menu key the first one on the bottom of your phone..and select restore to defaults...after that choose your access point...
go back and see if data enable checkbox is checked..
It should work now
If not then open the access point you selected and scroll down to APN type ..open it and type default,supl in it
Also try default,supl,dun if the above doesn't work..
After you do this data should connect

BINGO -
Had to type the settings in manually as supplied on Talkmobile website , some were there already but were for pay and go account whereas I'm on a contract .
Thanks very much for the help / replies really appreciated.
Now to put CM7 through some everyday use and see just how superior it is to stock -looking very at the moment. : )

I've gone through these steps but I can't open "access point" to get to the AP type. Don't see howto do that. I have APN on screen but can't open it.
Just click on the apn..
Like open settings.. Mobile and network.. Mobile network (bottom most).. Access point.. Now you should see a list of 1-3 access points.. Just touch any of them.. It will open

Theres one thing thats tripped me up in the past, and thats disabling 3G, as my network doesnt offer 2G at all.
I have completed my Sprint contract and have started using my Toro+ as a WiFi phone with a T-Mobile HotSpot. I want to disable the cell radios so that they are not using any battery. I do not want to use airplane mode as the icon will drive me crazy and Bluetooth doesn't seem to work. Can I possibly wipe the radios through ADB, or is there a dialer command like I found with the Nexus S 4G? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
I have figured out that you can dial *#*#4636#*#*, choose phone information from the menu that pops up, then you can scroll down and turn off radios. That seems to be working, but is there anything else that may be more permanent?

The radios are enabled again after a re-boot. There has to be a more permanent solution.
If the phone remembers airplane mode setting between reboots, you could install an app called Plane Mode Tweaker, and set it to leave wifi on
When I leave my apartment until I disconnected from WiFi, I getting into the elevator and the data is searching for network and will not find any.after I get out of the elevator, it connects to 2G and stay there for long time.
If I switch WiFi off,, before I get into the elevator, it will connect directly to 4g and stay there(and this is how I like it).
But most of the time I forget switch off the WiFi, so I have to wait something like 10 minutes to get 4g connection.
Any way of disabling 2G, but leave 3G & 4G?

You could try dialing *#*#4636#*#* which will open the 'Testing' settings and then navigate to Phone information and scroll down until you find a little drop down box which you can select which network types you want to run. I myself use CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto which switches between those when it needs to but if you only want to use 4G then you can switch to 'LTE only'.
Goodluck and I hope that does what you wanted!
Edit: I just realized that that number may not work on all phones, if that fails and you cannot access it with that then the only other method I can think of is to download Pimp My Rom from the Play Store and once installed open it and navigate to Tools < Scroll to the bottom & tap Device Hidden Menu > Access Hidden Menu. Please if you decide to wander around in this app then make a Nandroid backup first as this app is still in beta and very unstable, I recommend just using it for the device hidden menu options until you get what you need done.

I remember on my One X , this trick was working but after a reboot it was resetting to its previous state. No idea if this is still the case with M8

I had problems once with my phone only using 3G and using this to set it to allow 4G solved my problem permanently, hopefully it won't "reset" with yours, though I've never heard of that issue happening so it may be uncommon.

Hello,
Here is the problem.* My phone is rooted with CF-Auto Root. I downloaded SuperSU successfully and then downloaded the .APK for Wifi Tether Router.
It successfully downloaded! * I open the application and go to configure WIFI ROUTER, I then receive a notification from the program saying, "WARNING You are currently using Android 4.3/4.4 If the network is not transmitted, disables (UNCHECK) the 'Scan always available' from the screen that appears.*
That message was verbatim from what my phone was saying.
Once I close the message the phone automatically opens my phones IP settings. Network notification tab is unable to be turned on and of, it is currently selected as "ON", and Passpoint is currently selected as "off".
I press the back option on my phone and it takes me back to the configuration screen for "Wifi Tether Router". I then begin to change my device settings starting with method. I choose* Method 3-(HostApd) and press back. I choose WLAN0 as my interface. I scroll down to Prevents Stand By and make sure IT IS checked. after that I Make sure that HostApd Patch is checked off as well.
I scroll down to APN settings and my screen is completely grayed out with all the different Access Point Names unavailable. the ADD option is also grayed out.
I then set my Hot spot settings.
ssid- wififorme
encryption - wpa2-psk
wifi password -* ihatecheeseburgers
wifi channel- 1
*
Im done at this point. I press back and I am at the home screen for the program. I select ENABLE WIFI ROUTER and phone request ask me to grant* access. I do. The phone disables router then resets the radio and the phone is enabling WiFi Router.... waiting... phone grants access and it displays my wifi settings.
The program is now running at this point but is not sending data or receiving it. I jump on my laptop and the wifi network is not showing up either.
What did I do wrong and how can I fix this issue?
