[Q] Wireless tether borked?

Hey all, so I recently switched from a 1.47-based back snack to the newest froyo-based baked-snack and/or fresh and since then my wireless tether has gone the way of the dodo. Wireless tether seems to be launching and broadcasting but is not allowing connections from PC/MAC laptops (tried both). I've additionally tried the most recent FRESH ROM as well as the stock netarchy build and in all cases I can't get any connections from other computers (I don't even get the request or notification of an attempt to connect in wireless tether) As far as I can tell I don't have a MAC address issue of any sort.
Any ideas?
Wifi and 3G seem to be functioning fully, as well as everything else I've tested.

NOT Q/A

Seems to me a developer's section would be the appropriate place to post if I am having a recurring permanent problem post-installation of a developer's ROM.
-Just checking to see if anyone else might have seen this same problem, post ROM.

No need to be male genitalia.
I have tether working on calkulin evio rom. Test different versions,v visit the developers page. Pre 2 seems to be working best imo.

Haven't heard of this issue. You said you're running the netchary kernel on fresh right? What version of wireless tether are you running?

Thanks gmaine. I've tried both the Pre 2 that came with the backed snack rom and whatever version came with Fresh, and both had the same problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling whatever the current version is in the marketplace as well didn't work. It feels more and more like a hardware issue, though nothing else is funky at the moment.

Am currently running the netarchy update froyo kernel and have tried new and old version of wireless tether.

Try uninstalling the current tether app and using this one.

I'm running fresh 3.1.0.1 and using pre 7 of wireless tether and having no problems. Try uninstalling what you have now and install pre 7 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo

am installing, etc, now.

The you should probably post in that specific ROM's thread.
for the netarchy kernel many are using Pre6. Some ROM's require the new Pre7.
Pre7 works on the Stock netarchy build for me and is mentioned several times in that thread.

Totally agree with you on that one, but didn't get my answer after a few days and tens of pages of posts later.--So of course, that was the first route I went. (Everyone seemed to busy arguing about PRI downgrades, but I digress.)
Anyways, the .apk that was just linked works, although I'm really not seeing the difference between it and the marketplace wireless tether and reinstallation. Either way, things are working now, thanks for those of you with constuctive advice!

[Q] Has someone figured out how to use the wifi tether app on Mikfroyo 4.5

I've read a couple of people say they can connect to the internet for a couple of seconds and then there's no/limited access. Has anyone figured how to get by this? My hacked hotspot works, but I've tethered 4g on 4.4, and I prefer the wireless tether app.

Try different builds.

Try a different build of the app, an earlier one. Also, the laptop normally goes through the "limited access/no connection" for about a minute cuz it has to connect, but then it works fine.

Yeah, I actually went back to 4.4 after getting mad that my app wasn't working, I should've mentioned that I tried previous builds of the app, but it was a no go. I like 4.5 over 4.4 since it's faster and the 4g connections are better, but if I can't wifi it...well it defeats the purpose. I rather be on 4.5, so does anyone have a fix?

i would address this in Mik's thread.

I was able to get wired, wireless, and the wireless hot spot (sprint) working on Mik v4.5, but only in 4G. I couldn't get any working while on 3G. I used the latest version of each. I didn't do anything special to get them to work. But because I wasn't able to get 3G working this weekend I backed it out.
No flashing new ROMs for me for a couple weeks, on call .

Rooted, but still stock...for now
----------------------------------------
The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.

[Q] HTC Rhodium Hangs after FRX 07.1 Android Build

Hello All-
HTC Rhodium 400 running on the sprint network. Installed Android build FRX 07.1, everything works very nice and is great to have this on a WINMO phone! However 2 issues.
1) WIFI hotspot will turn on and is located by other devices, however cannot turn this off. The phone fights itself and then either reboots or locks up and i have to remove the battery and reboot into Android.
2) Every once in a great while the phone when left unattended will reboot itself back into windows.
Last night. 11/09/11, i installed the newest kernal, hoping this would possibly fix the problem. Still present, any help?
I have searched the threads but nothing this unique!
Thank you in advance!
YES I AM A NOOB, thank you for moving the post and Sorry for pissing off anyone, sometimes it gets overwhelming to move through all the posts. Thank you again for the 3rd party app that you stated and will just keep downloading the latest kernals. Thank you again moderator for answering the questions of mine.

Wrong section, moved to the right one.
1. The built-in wifi hotspot is broken, that's a well-known issue. Please search before posting a new thread (or even creating an account ). If you use a third-party tool like XDAndroid wifi tethering, should work just fine. The built in USB tethering works great too.
2. A part of running the port. Kernel isn't flawless.

You can update your kernel without losing any data. Just don't touch the data.img, update per Incremental Updates

I used the built-in wifi hotspot at the end of October, and didn't notice any problems. What was I doing wrong (or right)?

wifi tether issues?

I am seemimgly having an issue wit wifi tether. After a period of time it seems to time and and drops all connections. I hear them reconnect (vibrate) and then moments later they are not connect. It happens with the touchpad so i decided to try an incredible and had the same issue. any help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all this is the Galaxy Nexus subforum. Your post is regarding HP Touchpads and HTC Droid Incredibles. Try posting in those areas.
Second, this is the development subforum. It is a place for posting ROMs and kernels that you developed. This post is more suited for the general subforum (in the Incredible or Touchpad area).
Finally, get the latest version of wifi tether from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and make sure you use the settings to set the correct profile.
Are there 3g touchpads that you can use wifi tether with?

I believe the problem is with the nexus since that is what i am running wifi tether on. So i believe this is in the correct forum unless this is just for roms and kernals. I thought sine this it's part of the development of the device i would have the correct form. I used the incredible and touchpads as examples of what i tried to connect with.

Moved to Q&A

Wifi tether isn't working for me? I tried beta 9 & beta 10 and no computers see the wireless network. I even tried to manually add it and no luck. Also my phone keeps rebooting after 10 mins or so after I launch the app?
Anyone else having similar problems or have any suggestions?

Wireless hotspot will not work

Hi Guys,
I'm all shiny and new to this forum, so let me introduce myself real quick. My name is Saragn, I'm a security engineer from South Africa and I recently decided to start modding my HTC One M8. I produce music professionally in my spare time and have released music internationally under three different genres on various labels. I love tech and love playing with anything that is powered and has lights ha ha ha...
So, on Friday I installed the following ROM from Skydragon: "SkyDragon M8 v 3.1 WWE Sense 7.zip". It works REALLY WELL, I love how it has opened up the phone for modding. The only gripe I have is the wireless hotspot function does not work anymore. If I try enable it, it simply flicks between on and off repetitively. It is as if it cannot switch on. To stop it from doing that I have to enable the wireless, it then stops and the wireless enables. If I try switch on the hotspot again it does the same thing. I've re installed the ROM twice now and each time it does the same thing.
Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum to start this thread, if so, please could one of you be so kind as to point me in the right direction? Thank you.
If it is the right place to post this question then some guidance would be highly appreciated. What can I do to get the wireless hotspot feature to work again? Thanks!!
Ciao for now,
Saragn

Try updating the ROM. Skydragon Sense 7 is now on version 4.1
Changelog for version 4.0 says "Fixed Wifi-HotSpot - may not work, will provide fix zip asap"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59633002&postcount=3
So apparently this is a known issue. But some folks report that WiFi hotspot (tethering) is working. Seems to be working for me on version 4.1, but I haven't testing it extensively.

There was a fix posted for v3.1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59521467&postcount=2666
But it is advisable to flash a new updated ROM v4.1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-sd-4-0-sense7-port-sdkernel-t3062378
You'll have better experience with the updated one

Hi,
Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll try out 4.1 as per your suggestion. I'll let you know how it goes.
Regards,
Saragn

Hi there...Okay so another update for you. The wireless hotspot switches on now, so I thought it would be okay. It isn't. Even though it switches on and accepts connections, what ever end point I connect to the hotspot cannot browse the Internet and while the hotspot is on the phone itself cannot connect to anything so it seems that enabling the hotspot disconnects the phone from the Internet. I am not sure if you guys have picked this up yet on 4.1 ?
