Wifi Tether Force Close (edit: solved)

I'm having trouble with WiFiTether. Every time I start it up, I get a force close. I've deleted and reinstalled the APK, I've deleted the dalvik-cache and boot-cache and reinstalled ROMs (Fresh 1.0, 1.1, and Modaco 1.3). I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions?
edit: solved by uninstalling then manually installing the following APK: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi..._1_61-pre1_htc.apk&can=2&q=label:Experimental

What Tether version are you using? I got that FC when I updated to a newer Tether version, so I uninstalled, re-installed version 1.61-pre1 and its working again.

Thanks for the tip, but doesn't seem to be working for me. How did you do it?
I removed android.tether.apk from /data/app and restarted, then used the package installer to install wireless_tehter_1_61_pre1_htc.apk and restarted again. Still force closes.

Oh, this time I uninstalled using the Apps menu, then reinstalled and it worked. Thanks!

Yes, I had done it using the Apps menu Glad to have helped

had to do the same thing to get it to work. uninstall then reinstall.

I could not get it to work...
so i found another tether application
aNetShare.....
and it works..
but still want to get the Wifi-tether app to work!!!

Just curious, if aNetShare works for you, why would you want Tether to work?

[Q] Wireless Tether 2.0.2 won't work.

I'm running CM6, with Wireless Tether 2.0.2 (only wireless tether app I found), and I've done some searching but found no answers to my issue.
Every time I tap on the app to start tethering, it says that it's starting to tether but then pops up saying it couldn't, to try again later. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, that still didn't work. I've tried clearing the SuperUser cache/data out and that still didn't do anything. I've also rebooted the phone but that didn't work.
USB Debugging is also enabled.
What could be wrong? Or, should I try finding a different version or app of Wireless Tether?

Go to about phone under settings and see what PRI you are running.

I haven't a clue what PRI is, so here is what all is About Phone:
Model number
Hero200
Android Version
2.2
Baseband Version
2.42.01.04.27
Kernel Version
2.6.29.6-cyanogenmod
[email protected] #9
Mod Version
CyanogenMod-6.0.0-Heroc-RC1
Build Number
FRF91

I never noticed that PRI and PRL weren't listed there on CM6 until I told you to look there lol.
Have you tried usb tether?
There was a PRI that didnt work well with tethering, and flipzmode had a fix that I've used ever since it came out, never had a single problem. Maybe you can check out his site for more info? I'll keep digging on this rom to find where its at.

I was having the same problem using same rom the tether wasn't working I found out the problem was wifi wasn't working hit menu-setting-wireless and connection then hit wifi if it says error then you should just re flash rom and get latest nightly worked for me

dont use 2.0.2... use 1.60 pre3.. never had a problem with it

there is nothing wrong with 2.0.2 i'm currently using it...
i've had this happen to me before, here is what i did to fix it...
first, completely delete your current version, then install an older version and try that...if it works then you can just upgrade it from the market....

attached is the Wireless Tether v 1.60 apk

[Q] Market fails on downloads

My market will not download anything at all, it loops 'downloading' and 'download paused' then fails out. Currently running Eclipse v1.1 with imnuts PBJ non-oc kernal.
I tried the market fix posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121179 and tried swapping out the Vending.apk. I cleared the data/cache as well, that didn't do anything either.
I also tried Gummy Charged(1.8.1 and 1.8.5) and Humble 1.1 roms, still no dice.
Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated.

Go into applications in the settings menu. Force stop and clear data then retry. If that doesn't work try restarting the phone. That worked for me.

I had tried doing that with all the roms I ran, didn't do anything. I just odined back to ED1 and market is working. Going to flash back to Eclipse and see what happens.

That was my second idea. Lol. Was to just reflash the ROM. Hope that works for you.

Back up and working, weird.

try opening your google talk, i had that problem before on my Incredible and by doing that and logging it in, it fixed it.

[Q]Can't enable Wifi.

Hello
I installed [ROM][JB][STABLE] CyanogenMod 10 ♦ B2 a few days ago, before this everything was normal.
After installing the new CM10 rom i couldn't turn on wifi. I figured it was the rom so i restored an older version of android that i new worked
the wai it should. To my surprise i still have the same problem. I wiped the device and rebootet, same problem.
The device tries to turn on wifi but it stickes to the turning on message and nothing happens. I'm starting to think its hardware related.
Any ideas?
-EDIT-
Something new.
I also noticed that i can't access any files on the device. When i open a filemanager it says "forlder empty"
Also if i go to storage under settings it just closes and goes back to the homescreen. I can access the internal storage through ADB.
I am guessing this is related to my wifi problem.
Thanks
Xenodwarf.

When ever I have gotten my TF101 into a situation such as this, I go back to "Easy Flasher"(see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012 ) and put it back to square one. Then I can start my tinkering from there.
That would rule out any possible hardware problems
Edit: Oh. And I'm running the RaymanFX CM10 B2 that you tried, and wifi works fine for me. As well as storage access.

[Solved] Phone issues, need help please!

Posted this in the CM10 dev thread, but decided I may get some better help by posting here, and here's my OP from the thread:
so yesterday my phone randomly shut off and it seemed to completely reset my phone. It booted up fine with two or three apps missing and all of my settings lost. I didn't think much of it until today when I tried to fix it. I did a fully wipe because some apps had disappeared and wouldn't download from the play store and wouldn't restore from TiBu. I went ahead and did the full wipe, flashed latest gapps and my device started up. I began trying to restore my apps and what not, but at I was navigating the phone my app switch soft key and home key would not function. They vibrate when pressed but don't do anything; only the back key works. I went to settings and remapped the soft keys to see if it was just a glitch and nothing changed. Still no function, only vibration. I then rebooted to recovery and did yet another full wipe and this time tried to install aokp just to see if it was a bug with cm (yes I know aokp i built from cm but I had just downloaded the latest nightly to my phone and deleted the old one so this was a test of the new nightly). Still no cheese. I was then thinking to myself, screw it and at least try to restore some apps, but after configuring my google account and opening he play store i get a constant no connection, retry button. Most of the stock apps will not even open. I flashed a TiBu.zip to restore the app and great, that worked but restoring from in TiBu doesn't work now. I tried reflashing cm and essentially repeated the above steps without any luck. Any ideas? I can't test my data/phone connection other than the fact that after setting up my google account, my email synced and I was able to make a call because the browser won't even open. MY [email protected]$s didn't do a nandroid either
Help a desperate guy in need, please!!
PS redownloading cm and gapps right now on my computer in case of a corrupted download, but to have the issue on cm and aokp is suspicious. I'll have to wait for an hour or two because my internet speed is that slow...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now I redownloaded CM10 fresh from the get.cm page and even did a md5 check and everything matched up, yet still no luck. another strange thing I've noticed is that my power menu, when I verified in the setting that all options for my power menu were selected, the only options that show up are power off, reboot and screenshot. I checked to be sure app permissions were correct and even fixed permissions from recovery. All apps that do open force close upon any activity, for example upon receiving an email in gmail, the gmail app force closes. I don't know if providing a logcat would be beneficial to anyone because I don't know how to read them.
I am currently waiting on a sense rom to finish downloading to verify that it isn't just aosp based roms, but my internet connection is terrible so the 600+mb file still has 2+hrs left. I am also downloading an ruu if nothing else works, but again with a 500+mb file it will take 2+hrs
Any help is much appreciated and I can provide more info if needed.
SOLVED

Sounds like it might be a kernel issue. Try flashing a different one.
If nothing else works, relock and RUU.

Even if it's the stock cm kernel? i never had issues with it before, but I'll flash one now because luckily I have a couple on my phone already
Edit: flashed a different kernel and nothing changed, but thanks for the suggestion
