I have a Singapore release of the One M8 and last night I ran the lollipop OTA. The install went fine with no problems but for some reason today tethering is no longer working. I've tried both wifi and usb tether on multiple computers with the same problem, that is it connects fine but there is no internet access. I've done a factory reset as well to no avail. I've also tried different APNs but didn't make any difference.
Anyone have any ideas?

Are you running any kind of firewall setup? I had an issue with tethering and UDP on lollipop. The solution was to switch to a blacklist.
I currently have the firewall turned off in Windows 8.

I actually meant on the phone. Android has iptables built in. However, I am guessing that is not your problem.
At this point, I have no idea, though.

I'm truly sorry to give you a bad news, but Lollipop by default disables tethering for networks that prohibit that (and believe me, more prohibit it than allow it - sometimes this info is very well hidden in contract).
I spent a long time trying to fix it, but with no luck.
Tethering works though with networks that allow it.
I fought with that after receiving Lollipop update to my NVIDIA SHIELD tablet - a total failure. Some folks reported that after rooting it helps one, simple modification of one config file. Let me know if you decide to root your phone, so I can give you some links. Google did block tethering on purpose - the have to play nicely with network operators, right? The trick is with packet's TTL - all you get on your connected device is timeout errors.
I won't tell you more details on that because I gave up - I didn't want to root my tablet.
But don't seek errors in your PC/whatever you want to connect to your Lollipop-based access point - it ain't gonna work.
P.S. Play Store apps that don't require root and are marketed as problem solvers don't work as well. The only way is root...
My carrier doesn't block tethering. It worked fine before the update and I also checked with my carrier and tethering is permitted.
I don't mind rooting so please post the links you are referring to.

Same problem to me. After installing Lollipop on my HTC One M8, no tethering anymore. Also, for some reasons, I cannor root my phone.
Someone have the procedure to root it with Lollipop again?

I am working on a my first incredible rom, and I'm running into a problem with mobile broadband connect. it doesn't work. I am working off the stock image from htc using dsixdas kitchen. Even without modifying anything inside, I lose my broadband connect.
My question is, what am I missing that's preventing mobile broadband to work.
PS, mobile broadband connect doesn't work on any other roms I've tried either.
better question is why do you want this to work? after all when your in root you get the free wifi tether.. just saying...
I want it because my company pays for it. I use it in my car because I have an in car pc, and wi-fi tether and pda net are not as reliable as the legit broadband connect.
For example, on the 3 hour trip to my in laws, which I take the same route every time, I usually stream a netflix movie for my wife and kid, and with VZ access manager using broadband connect, I have reliable internet for 90% of the trip, but when using wi-fi tether, or pda net, it's maybe 50% of the trip, they just don't seem to hold the data connection very well.
Also, it's the ethics of it, I am using a service, I will pay for that service. Especially since I use it for business as well, I prefer following the rules.

1. did you have it working with the stock ROM?
2. have you tried creating a dial-up connection using #777 as the number,
your 10 digit phone [email protected] (or @dun.vzw3g.com) as the username, and vzw as the password?
I am not sure if you need to use the @dun.zvw3g.com if you haven't edited the DUN number in EPST
1) Yes, it works fine with the stock rom
2) can't get a dial up connection to work at all, even with the stock rom.

have you ever installed pdanet on the computer you are trying to use?
the reason I ask is because I used it once with my incredible and I was not able to use any other method of connecting, (dial-up or vzaccess manager) I uninstalled it and was still having the problem, it wouldn't even work after manually reinstalling the modem drivers for it, I ultimately had to do a system restore to before I installed the program before I was able to connect using either of the other two methods. I have never used pdanet after that.

I don't think that's the problem. Because If I restore the phone back to the original stock rom, VZ acess manager works fine, even with pda net installed on the computer. There are 2 different profiles in the connection manager, one for pda net modem, and one for verizon dial up modem.
The error I'm getting says the modem is already in use or set up wrong. I've tried unninstalling everything and re-installing on the computer, but I definately think the problem is phone side, not computer side, because as I said, I can restore the stock rom, and everything works fine.
Hi guys,
since two days ago I'm not be able to use anymore the hotspot function of my desire if I try to connect with a pc with windows xp (I've tried with 3 different pc and all of them stuck when they try to acquire the ip address from the desire, resulting after 1 minute in a message "connection has limited access" or something similar, sorry but it's written in Italian and I do not know exactly the english translation).
If I try to connect to the desire with a laptop in which vista is installed, the connection works properly.
I do not know if it could be a useful information, if I enable on the desire the password for the connection, all the laptops with xp are not able to understand the a password is required.
Please note that till 2 days ago I was using daily the hotspot function on my laptop with xp and I've never had a problem, always connecting at the first attempt.
Do you have any idea about which could be the cause of the problem?
Regards,
Nicola
Are you trying to connect to the Desire with WPA2 security? If so XP has issues with that, try without any sort of security.

No, if I set some security options it does not work, I tried with no password and no way....

UPDATE: since my desire is rooted via unrevoked 3.2, I made a full backup of the phone with the recovery mode, then I wiped all data and I tried the hotspot function before reapplying the backup, and it worked well also with xp!
Then I reinstall the backup and it stopped again.
Now the point is, it should be an application that has modified in someway the system settings?
Working here without issues,
rooted desire with stock official HTC 2.10.405.2 OTA update
connecting to Windows XP with WPA/TKIP security

Finally I got hotspot wi-fi function working as usual on windows xp too, I made an hard reset and re-installed all the application, one by one.
Every time I installed an application I checked if the hotspot was still working and I made a full backup, just in case.
Till now I've note yet found which program has caused the problem...
Hi guys,
The first thing I did when I got my Nexus is root the phone and install the wireless tether for root users. It worked fine the first few times I ran it, but now whenever I hit start tether it starts up and mentions I should check the error log. At this point the tether has failed to broadcast a network even though the app thinks it's working, and everything is ok in the error log except these 3 steps:
Setting ad-hoc mode
Setting essid
Setting channel
These 3 flag as failed, I have tried other wifi tethering apps and get basically the same result where they won't start up or they start but fail to broadcast.
My wifi works fine, I can connect to networks via wifi without any issues, but I'm really stumped as to why the tethering has stopped working.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm running the stock ROM still as root while I wait for a good port of the forthcoming CM9, so if someone wants to suggest a stable, fully working ROM to flash in the meantime that's fine too
An update, I flashed a couple of different roms and this issue has now persisted accross all of them. Nobody has any experience with the same problem?
do you have the most recent version of wifi tether?

As far as I'm aware yes, it is also failing to work with other wifi tethers (have tried barnacle tether which does exactly the same thing)
I'm starting to think it might be hardware somehow, but other than this the wifi works fine for connecting to networks.
Hi all. I've looked for weeks through hundreds of threads for a solution to my problem but haven't found a solution. My apologies if one exists.
I am running an odin-rooted EL29 stock rom. I have downloaded various versions of the Wifi Tether app but am running 3.1-beta11 right now. I can get my Win7 Pro laptop to see my phone's wifi but cannot successfully connect to the internet with it. The wifi icon in the system tray continues searching after I tell it to connect.
I've followed the many tutorials on how to do this but none of them work. Does anyone here have any solutions for me to try? Please, of course!
Okay, so I just noticed the sticky at the top of the list about Wifi and others for EL29. All of these fixes look like brand new ROMs, though. I would rather not wipe everything and start clean if I don't have to.
I too had many problems with WiFi and WiFi tether. I actually went to the WiFi Tether home page and dl'd every version there. I paintakingly install each until I found the only one that worked was version 2.0.7. Only problem with this version is that encryption doesn't work.
Also, and I presume you are with Sprint, keep in mind that most of the newer ROMS have the Sprint HotSpot app working fully including encryption and for free.
I tether all my wifi machines to either WiFi Wireless Tether or Sprints HotSpot.
Good luck,
Here is link to WiFi Wireless Tether HOME: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
IF Ive helped, HIT the Thanks button.....
Have you tried going into the settings and under change setup method change it from Auto to WEXT(adhoc)
I was having a similar issue and that seemed to work for me.

I don't think Beta 11 works. That was my experience. Beta 6 & 7 worked then I figured I should upgrade to the latest and tried 11 and it didn't work. Saw a few other people who also had problems with 11 and went back to either 6 or 7. I know for sure 6 & 7 work on Stock but haven't tested any other ROMs.
The Calkulin 2.8.1 Rom can be flashed without wiping your settings and data. Just wipe cache and Dalvic cache and flash the Rom. Make a Nandroid backup first of course. I have flashed this Rom over stock several times with no issues at all. The Rom has the Hotspot hack which lets you use the Sprint Hotspot software which works perfectly and Sprint has no idea that you are using it.
This is what worked for me on a stock rom, Odin rooted + CWM.

I know there's a wifi issue thread, but this is a little more specific.
I started having issues with my wifi over the weekend... It shows connected, but takes 70-100 seconds to "register" that there's a connection. By that, I mean: When I open an app, it takes that long for it to "connect" and start working. Some apps will time out and say "no data connection". When I test it with Speedtest.net, it takes about 90 seconds of "finding server" to test my connection. When I test it, I'm getting great speeds, but it takes too long to connect to the server. If I turn off wifi, and just use mobile data, it works fine.
This has me wondering if there is an issue with an international or dev firmware, or the actual radio, running in the USA? Maybe it takes longer to recognize one or the other? It's not just my phone either.... There is another, older, rooted HTC One M7 in the house having the same issue (running a wwe or dev firmware) with a custom ROM......So it's not just my phone.

I suppose it's possible. You should be able to run Viper with the AT&T firmware, though. So I'd try flashing the new AT&T firmware and seeing if that helps clear things up.

Unfortunately, until someone extracts it, RUU is the only method I know of.
Either that, or return to stock (if you made a system image backup before rooting) and take the OTA.

Yeah, I just RUU'd..... Even on the stock At&t ROM, I had issues....Couldn't stand stock, so I'm now running the most recent At&t firmware on a current wwe (2.10.x.x) ROM with no issues (yet).
I run wwe firmware with no issues on wifi as i did with my m7 and m8 too.
[UPDATE] Wifi issues resolved
After numerous hours/days of working on WHY my wifi doesn't work properly.....I got it figured out.
I flashed the RUU of the official At&t 5.1 ROM = Did not work (so I flashed back to my fav custom ROM)
Changed every setting I could find/think of in my Netgear router = Did not work
Exchanged my Netgear, thinking it was faulty, for a new (better) one = Did not work
Tried my, retired, Apple Airport Extreme router = Did not work
Called my ISP several times, no help at all (worse than calling At&t) = Did not work
Logged into my cable modem and disabled ALL security and Firewall = Did not work
Tried my cable modem's built-in wifi = Did not work
FINALLY, I exchanged my cable modem for a different one at my local office...... IT WORKS!
So it was something *wonky* with my cable modem the whole time. Wish I knew this before buying 2 new routers over the last couple months! Oh well, I now have a couple good backup routers
