Hi
Well I have the Samsung galaxy nexus on 4.2.1. After i connect using usb tethering 5 min later it losses connection randomly.
I seem to be getting this problem more often now never had it before. My phone screen is set to 10 min before turning off so its like it goes to sleep and I loose the connection. This happens with both wifi and regular data from mobile service.
I'm with Wind Mobile (Canadian company)
The laptop I use is Dell and I have had this problem on all usb ports on it.
Is It my wire??
Is it my wifi/ data connection??
well hope you guys can give me some advise thanks.

Hi all,
Firstly, I'm new to winmob devices but as a developer I wanted to get my hands on one and start building some apps. I bought an unlocked TP2 and so far I'm really impressed and happy with it.
Now, I've searched the forums and can't find anything that completely addresses a question I have about Data Connection. It's a bit n00b but as I said I'm new to this I've never had a phone that could connect to the internet before.
I have a data plan with my provider, but when I'm at home I have the phone on the wifi. Sometimes I have it on the laptop at work or home (via USB cable).
What I don't quite understand yet is what is the priority for data connection? e.g. if connected via USB it will try to use the internet connection of the pc? if connected via wifi it will use that as preference? When the phone isn't connected to either, obviously it will start eating data from my plan, but I'm not clear on how the phone uses the internet etc. when on wifi or via the USB cable. I assume there's some kind of "preference" order or setting.
Can someone please enlighten me?
Thankyou for your time!
I've not seen any setting, but I believe it is:
USB ActiveSync (First priority)
Wifi
3G data connection
GPRS data connection (Last)
This is my experience anyway - certainly Wifi should be higher priority than any cellular/mobile connection. And I think I noticed that my web browsing was going via USB cable instead of Wifi when that was plugged in.
I agree with the above post, however I have noticed that If I run an app (lets say the YouTube app) with no active wireless or activesync connection it will use 3G or GPRS depending on available service, however If I then turn on Wireless I have to restart the app, it doesn't seen to automaticaly switch over to the new wireless connection which is a shame.

so i use my phone as a wireless card for my desktop computer by usb tethering the phones wifi in cm6. however when the phones screen turns off my internet speeds on my computer drop to near 0. i still get internet connection on the desktop... but it is super slow. soo my question is: other than leaving the phone screen on at all times, is there any way i can make this work? (ie: get good wifi speeds with the phones screen off) is it as wifi sleep policy setting? anyone else experience this?
Okay so I've tried 4 different types of tethering on my phone.
Wireless Tethering (Works great)
USB Tethering (Works great except no 4G)
PDANET (Works but NO 4G / Random Disconnects)
Easy Tether (Works the best , WITH 4G, but random disconnects)
So wireless tethering is fine and that isn't my problem.
PDANET along with Easy Tether for some reason both keep dropping connection randomly. It could be 20 minutes, it could be 1 minute, it could be 10 minutes, but the dang connection keeps getting dropped for some reason. I've tried looking and settings left and right but I don't know what it is and I don't know how to fix it.
USB Tethering with Froyo works great. I don't get any dropped connections except the dang 4G won't work! I get 2 bars in my apartment, but as soon as I run USB Tethering, 4G drops, 3G runs, and 4G scans, finds sprint, and drops.
I don't have 4G issues with my phone at all, only tethering with PDANET and USB Tethering.
If I can get some help from you guys, it would be either of these >>
Easy Tether : Figure out how to stop the random disconnections
USB Tethering : Figure out how to make 4G stay and let me connect with 4G
I have tried looking online for 4 hours. Every page on google has been turned purple because I visited them all. I need some help
easy tether cannot be fixed, usb tether cannot have 4g

Hi,
Since i've had the One X i've had nothing but problems with tethering. I've tried wifi, bluetooth and USB. All seem to suffer from the same problem.
The problem being that the phone will have a working mobile internet connection (I can use the phone to talk to the internet without problem) but my netbook cannot talk to the internet. The problem is definitely not with my netbook or the connectivity between the phone and the netbook as I can ping the phones IP address just fine.
It's almost like when tether is enabled some sort of forwarding or bridging between wifi/bluetooth/usb and mobile internet should be enabled but isn't being.
Then, totally randomly, it will just start working fine.
Sometimes disconnecting mobile internet and reconnecting fixes it. Sometimes enabling airplane mode and then disabling it fixes it. But most of the time I literally have to just wait until the phone decides to start forwarding my packcets to the internet.
I travel by train to/from work and used to tether my HTC Desire using wifi or usb. It would generally be useable for the whole journey except when I lost signal entirely or when the phone switched between Orange and T-Mobile whilst I was in the middle of something.
I guess my main questions are:
Is anyone else having this problem?
Can anyone think of a way I can try to debug what's happening?
Does anyone have a possible solution?
Thanks

Try resetting your APN setting back to default. This should fix the issue. You may have to do this everytime at OTA update is applied.
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.
