Hi guys
First thing my desire is unbranded and unrooted.
Ever since applying the last OTA my portable hotspot has stopped working.... I connect to a data network no problem, but when I turn on portable hotspot, I loose the data connection. I can see it trying to get the connection back but it loops for around a minute and then gives up with no errors.
My wifi has been fine since the upgrade.
Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas how to fix it???
Many thanks
David
I'm not sure this is the answer to your problem, but hey maybe it is the answer so someone else's problem
A Wifi device is either a client or a server - not both at the same time.
If you tell the phone to be a Wifi server, and it was connected to a Wifi network then that connection ceases to exist.
Next it will broadcast its own Wifi network for other devices to use. Those devices (and your phone) can then browse the web, send mail etc. using your 2G/3G connection, and they can talk to one another using local ip addresses handed out by the phone.
I hope this cleared things up, if not for you then maybe for someone else
Yup - experiencing an issue whenever I select "Press to turn on".. doesn't seem to do much of anything (beyond the Processing dialogue).. and while I get the Icon in the Notification bar there is no hotspot available. Can't configure it either..
similar specs on the phone... unbranded / unrooted

Hello,
I have started to have a problem in the last couple of weeks. I have to use my internet with tether because the internet at my accommodation is very slow. The problem is that when i am using tether, be it wireless or usb, the internet connection seems to drop after 10 minutes or so. It does not always happen, sometime it can stay fine all night but other times it can do it every 10 minutes or so.
I have tried it with a few different roms, it works better with CM but is not as quick as it is with LeeDroid or Android Revolution. AR disconnected the most, and i am using LeeDroid now and that is about every 10 mins.
There are no signs of the disconnection, for example the phone is still connected to 3g, and the wifi (or usb) connection is still active.
P.S. i dont know if this is related but i cannot use my phones internet when the tether is active. Like, i cannot download anything from the market at the same time as having the tether activated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
For some reason, I notice that when I turn off my tether, it still shows as a connection that you can connect to. Those who are connected already, still have some internet (though, it's very slow). I have to restart the phone to get it to go away/save battery. Anyone else have this? Tried a few different tethers (except the built in one in the system) and they had the same result.
to be honest I believe the default one works the best its the most stable one I seen so far and it has infrastructure mode I only been able to test 3g so far but it states 4g is working fine as well.All you have to do is flash it in recovery.The link is for the hotspot hack
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394371&highlight=ek02+hotspot
had the phone over a year now, never had an issue before.
As soon as you turn on the portable wifi hotspot, i loose the 3g/h symbol from the top of the screen and from that no data conectivity?
and as sopon as you turn the wifi hotspot off, it regains an internet conection
Any ideas, ive not installed any apps recently, as far as i can remember?
Do you get an internet connection when another device connects to your phone's wifi hotspot.
If you are able to connect, then it must be working, as it's the 3G signal that the phone uses to connect the wifi to the internet. It might remove the icon, but if you can connect then it's fine.
nope, can conect my ipad to the DHDs hotspot but no internet.
the same for when i turn the hotspot on, cant brouse anything on the phone as no data conection
still not sorted this, anyone else got a aide or something to sort this?
First post (longtime lurker)
I've got the same problem here although this has only started happening in the last couple of days. The phone's data connection is fine until you enable the wifi hotspot at which point the connection is dropped to the phone, connecting any devices to the phone is fine, they get an IP address and can ping the phone directly, but beyond the phone there's nothing.
Rebooting the phone does not help.
The only app I've installed recently is Google Shopper.
Out of curiosity Fil what ROM are you using? I'm on RCMix3d Runny 3.0 which is based on Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5. I'm looking at switching to an ICS build pretty soon.
It also looks like we're on the same network although I think that's just coincidence.
yep sounds exactly the same issue,
as for rom, still on t-mobiles original 2.50.110.5 Adroid 2.3.3
was thinking of flashing something custom to see if it solved the problem
I've just flashed IceColdSandwich today at work (it's been a slow day!) and you'll be pleased to know that wireless tethering is working again. I'm on the train home as I type this. It's possibly something in the 2.3 image? I can't really say since we both had different ROMs (mine was a Sensation port). It could just be a bad bit of code in the gingerbread OS that produces this bug on rare occasions.
It may have something to do with the fact that T-Mobile and Orange allow you to roam on eachother's networks. Do you have roaming enabled?
To be honest I'm just stabbing wildly at possible causes here and a flash fixed it anyway. I went ICS but I don't think you'd have to go that extreme but flashing a new ROM overwrites whatever it is that caused this in the first place.
I'm just hoping it's fixed in ICS and won't happen again!
cheers, enabled data roaming, and it now works!
Since the issue, my batterys turned to crap! guessing thats the cause constantly jumping networks, and also data speeds have been very poor lately, was ok when just t-mobile, but orange is poor!
Off to the t-mobile foeums to see if its just me, or others!
Hello everyone,
I have flashed several ROMs already and my unit works perfectly. I did notice when i left the house (wifi), i was no data connection on my phone when using 3G connection only.. all the settings are correct like the APN, i tried several browser too. However when i enable the tethering, my tablet works perfectly
My phone can tethering to my tablet (works)
I use WIFI at home, i can surf the internet (so browser works)
when using the phone for browsing using 3G, no data is coming thru.
I hope someone knows the solution for this. I tried searching but found nothing.
