Hey guys,
I've tried the Wireless Tether app on my Hero when it was stock rooted, then Fresh .7, 1.0, and now 1.1. I've installed both 1.6 and 1.7... and no matter what I seem to do, when I start it up everything looks just fine but I can't see the SSID on my laptop. I ran Vistumbler, a network sniffer, and it shows other wireless connections but not the one from my Hero. Is there some config step I'm missing?
I checked the log and everything is good but I get a "failed" on "Deleting routing-rule".
Make sure you allow on your super user as well
I use the 1.70 version which runs smooth too. see if this helps
Make sure USB Debugging is on. Chances are it is since you are rooted and probably never went back to turn it off.

ok this is strange,, so i installed tether 1.70 pre from here
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=HTC+Donut
and it worked the first time i used it, so i turned it off and havnt tried using it till today, well i start my laptop and I see my wifi and android tether (hummm),
so i start the app and it says push to tether as if its off.,, I try it and it doesnt do anything.
So I uninstall, restart my phone.. AND ITS BACK! , i still see android tether in available networks (yes refreshed) but when i try to join it does nothing.
any ideas how I can get rid of this broke down app? or which is the right one to have?
i think maybe i should have got the 1.6,, but i dont remember how i even installed it in the first place, and theres no instructions on the web site..
ok weird so I uninstalled 1.7 again and installed 1.6 for htc from above site, now i show android tether and g1 tether both in available networks, the g1 connects the pc but the android one does not, and both continue to show up even when tehtering is turned off..
anyone .........?

Sure. The device you're connecting to it with has the name cached. Oh, no, the sky is falling! How dare some device have a remembered connection!
Why do people always think there has to be a problem with the phone? Delete it if it bothers you.
Err I never said I thought it was the phone, and I don't remember saying that, I was worried because it wouldn't connect or delete.. thanks for the help though, it wasnt much
Not sure if it's a computer, ROM, Phone, or app issue, but after a few minutes or so of being connected via wifi tether, it just stops working. According to the phone, I'm still connected, but the upload/download numbers reset to zero and pages stop loading in my laptop browser. The only fix I have is to disable wifi tether and re-enable it.
Any idea what would be causing this? I'm on Fresh 2.0d and have whatever version of wifi tether came on the ROM.

It's actually shutting off your data connection. If you take a look your data becomes dormant. If you turn of data and then turn it back it works again. I think it may be with the version. I just saw I had 2.0 and I'm going to put 1.6 back on. I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.
Here is the link for 1.6
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk
If you put on your sdcard and install using a file explorer it will change the script that is used and work.
Actually, I just checked, and I'm already running 1.6. Any other suggestions? Haha
are you getting a or making a telephone call when it conks out?
R
When ever your data goes to 0 is Ev in status bar white or gray? Might try doing adb logcat when you start up wifi tether or when you have the problem. I don't know what is causing the problem, but whever I turn off mobile networks and turn it back on it works fine after that.
I'm doing a logcat and using my wifi tether right now to see if I still have the problem.
Might try removing the one off your phone and push the one from the link above.

I was having the exact same problem. Read the 2nd post..No. No calls or messages or anything when it happened to me.
Okay, here's the search I did with old outdated info from other phones that aren't relevant to my problem:
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...9-1&q=mobile+network+repeatedly+disconnecting
Regaw's latest is what I am running. I am using wireless tether, the one that came with his rom, and it will lose internet connection about every 3 minutes.
Why is this a problem? Normally I use ICQ in my job, because I work online., I am constantly having to have people resend me messages and stuff due to this. It also interrupts and breaks any large downloads I do, normally larger than 10-20mb, and causes me a big headache when I try to work in FTP (for those non-tech-savvy, working in ftp is basically working on the guts of a website to make it work)
Are you trying to use your phone while you are tethering? I have only used wireless tethering once but I was playing with the options while I was using it and it wouldnt intermittenly lose connection. I just assumed it was because I was messing with my phone.
No, my phone is sitting on my stand, charging, and I have the wake-lock off so the phone sleeps. Did the same thing when wake-lock was on, too
Check your Wi-Fi sleep policy?
I am not sure if Tether over rides that or not. Maybe you have it set to a time limit. Just guess though, mine is flawless...as with every other aspect of my life...
I haven't used my wireless tether in a while, but I was also having this problem. After about 2-3 minutes of working it would stop. It appears as thought the data connection is dropping, because I was also not able to use the browser on the phone to connect to the internet. I had to diasble the data connection and then restart it. This solved the problem 95% of the time. There were 2 things I was going to try, but haven't. If you want to try them and see if they work and let us know, they are
1.Turn off data connection, turn data connection back on and then starty Wireless tether and then connect computer to Wireless tether
2.Turn off data connection, start wireless tether, connect computer to wireless tether, and then restart data connection.
If any of these work it may be possible to get a script or an app to do this.

That make me LOL, very funny!
What verison of wifi tethering are you using? I've had this problem before but that was using the newest 2.0 version of the wifi tethering. I reverted back to an older 1.6 version and i don't have any issues.

With the eris based ROMs I had no problem with using the 1.6 version, but after the Sprint leaked ROMs I have tried every version and still had problems. My solution works for me, but it is a couple of extra steps that I need to do that i shouldn't have to. It's just crazy how some peop;le have problem and others don't

dont have my phone by me... it's whatever version comes pre-packaged with regawMOD latest
I concur that it is weird how some people do have issues and others don't. I wish this app worked as well as the htc wifi tether app for the winmo phones.
Jerry43812,
I would just check the version then if its a 2.0 version uninstall it and then install the 1.6 version. If its the 1.6 version uninstall it and then reinstall. That worked for some of the roms that I've been using. I'm on the sprint leaked version now and it works just fine for me. I wish they would get the password working on it as well as hiding your SSID.
my friend had this problem on his hero until he turned on wake lock in the wireless tether app. leaves the screen on, but works
Hey.
I've tried so hard but i cant get WiFi tether to work.
I've flashed some custom kernels which claims to have WiFi tethering working, but still!
can someone please tell me how to?
set your static ip on the computer to 192.168.2.100
set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.255
set the default gateway to 192.168.2.254
set the dns to 192.168.2.254
then install a terminal emulator on your phone and enter;
ping 192.168.2.100
now you should have connection, its scetchy so just wait if its not instantanious
JD
Used my tether (WI-FI spot) last night at a music store to download some drivers for a midi controler for my DJ software. just turned on the sprint app, and my laptop found it really quick downloaded the drivers for the program i was gonna test and i was done, just like that.
yey EVO!!!
wifi troubles
had the same trouble after the nand unlock wouldn't connect, i replaced the 2_0_5 pre with the 2_0_2-pre14 and it worked
good luck hope this helps
After the first stage root, I installed DamageControl 3.0 and both 4G and wifi tether wouldn't work for me. Installing Fresh fixed my issue.
Although I only saw people fixated on the 4G issue and nobody mentioning tether, it seems to me the two were related in some way.
I have not unlocked NAND yet. What was your process; where are you with your device?
2_0_5 works fine on my evo, its nand rooted. I just trun it on, no need to set anything. Then I fire up the laptop and just click connect to my androidtether. Transferred over 500MB this morning on it no troubles.
i have a question.. wireless tethering has been working for me very well, on wednesday i even had it connected for like 3 consecutive hours.. researching some homework for my humanities class.. but now it disconnects randomly.. with no warning or notification anyone know what can be the cause of this? its very annoying..
just download the one from the market. the one included in most roms doesn't appear to work for anyone either.
I have ran Fresh v0.2 and currently v0.3. I've never had any issues using Wireless Tether included with this ROM.
Those having issues: You are rooted corrected? If you are try the typical uninstalling/reinstalling. Titanium backup would allow you to backup the App and reinstall it. If that doesn't work try a different Rom.
Process of elimination.
2.0.2 works well on my ipad.
I am rooted with SimpleRoot, but that alone did not work with Wifi Tether. So i went ahead and rooted with Unrevoked...WifiTether works well after that. Good Luck.
so... i am about to pull out all of my hair trying to sort out an issue!
ever since root, i have not been able to connect to any wifi!
i have tried 3 different roms, latest versions of each
CM7
RCMix
MIUI
on all 3 of them, when i try to connect to a free wifi hotspot, or my wireless hotspot at home, or a friends wireless hotspot... the connect button is always greyed out and will not allow me to connect.
steps to root were done by attn1 hack kit v10c
i have wiped data and cache and all of the good stuff before installs
ive also flashed the PD98IMG radio, in hopes that it was a radio issue
so... it is still doing the same thing, so, i dont know what to do anymore, it is driving me nuts that i cant use wifi!
ANY THOUGHTS?
please help!
thanks!!!
I run into the same issue occationally on my evo. What usually fixes is
1. Turn off wifi
2. Forget/delete any stored networks ( usually my home network)
3. Re enable wifi
Let me know if it works for you.
what exactly do you see when trying to connect "Obtainig IP" or does it time out or something?
