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.
Sent from a dream.

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.

Thank you for the clarification

I'll look into this.
Does it happen with other roms?

no before cyanogenmod i was using android revolution hd 6.3.5 sense 3.5. it was smooth and most stable rom i ever used. the answer to ur question is wifi problem does not 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.

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.

My frustration with the wifi

I did everything you can think of but nothing helped!
When i first bought the phone the wifi worked perfectly with the stock rom. After a couple of months i upgraded to CWM9 beta1, everything was okay except the wifi;
They told me Wifix would fix the problem; it didnt (only worked sometimes)
I upgraded to Beta2 hoping that might solve the issue... it didnt.
They said you have to change the baseband, i went back to stock rom with the latest release from samsung, stock Rom (2.3.6) Wifi worked perfectly.
I upgraded again to CWM9 beta2 hoping this new baseband would help... still wifi didnt work.
I changed my baseband to XXLM8... still no wifi
I changed my rom to Remics, this time very hopeful, promising my family this might work (because they use my wifi~ thats why i say its really important for me) and STILL it doesnt work.
Wifi only works with stock rom and nothing else! And i dont like the stock rom, i want ics. This problem is frustrating me! Please can anyone find out the solution? PLEASE! I dont have the budget to buy a new phone with stock ics i have to fix THIS phone!
Thanks in advance,

Try reflashing the rom and did you follow the instructions precisely? Because i had use cm9 beta 2 the wifi works fine even no need for wifix. And now i use indroid remics still the wifi works fine. I already try all ics based rom and all of them shows no problem with wifi dude.

I have the same problem dude... Always had this problem with ICS.. I tried really everything I read... and nothing really worked
Is your WiFi Connection as slow as mine on the Video ?
Seems like it works for a lot of people, because I haven't seen many people talking about WiFi Problems in ICS. Im from Germany.. Maybe there are different WiFi codes/drivers what ever, over here..?
I stopped flashing and trying all Roms out.. Im on FAW, bought an iPod Shuffle for music, and the Wonder to communicate with people, gf etc.
Perfect option for me.

It seldomly works... seldomly... and thats when i use Wifix. Without wifix it never works!
I haven't tried with another router but, stock rom works perfectly, ics doesnt work; that suggests prblm is not hardware but software instead.
I have an idea, what if i extract the "wifi program" of my stock rom from root, and put it instead of the wifi program in ics? Will that work? Is it possible?

i dont know, i havent tested on videos. There must be an explanation...

hey! what if i copy the wifi apk from my root, and install it instead of the wifi apk on cm9?

Try to flash CM9 beta 3, but this time before flashing, format system.

same problem also. but as for me wifi off when screen off. sometimes need to off wifi first then on back to get signal. stock rom dint have this problem.
maybe its ics common problem.

I'm using CM9b3 and never have that problem. Granted, I have never upgraded my baseband, and my CM9b3 is 'Pristine' (did a *complete* wipe, including the SD memories).
Try changing your baseband and/or doing an ICS Pristine Install.

hi I have recently Rooted my HOX and installed Custom ROm . I am on JB h_038 and 3.14.720 with radio 5.1204.162.29.
I the stock i had good 3g connectivity and the internet didnot drop . now shows connected but i am unable to browse internet on my phoen . does not happen in 2g connectivity and other 3g phones.i have to reconnect it and then it works for sometime and then gets stuck .. i am still on skydragon custom rom .
first installed ARHD
Then Viper 3.3.6
Now on SD v4
Please help me out it is a very buggy issue as the source of internet is my 3 connection no wifi with me .

Anybody out there with the solution please////...

Might be an APN issue. Check in mobile settings or try flashing an AOKP or AOSP ROM and see if it fixes. Something like ICJ or Carbon.

[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.

Can a new kernel change something or is it not related? which one would you advise me?

I am using rox's CM 10.1, 17/10 (and you?) build and its kernel, I don't use weather n news widgets, so I don't know if they're syncing or not. Did you solve your tethering prob?

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.

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.

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.
