Wifi tether doesn't seem to work for some of us. For me personally it connects but does not have an internet connection. Is it working for anyone? Failing?

Having same issue as you. My dell mini 10v connects, takes a bit longer then usual to acquire network address, and when it does the internet still doesnt work.
I'm sure its just a matter of the program being updated to work on the CDMA hero
Ditto
I'm having the same problem as well. Connects after a very long time and receives IP information, but nothing after that. Has anybody reported to the wifi-tether developer yet?
As soon as it works on the Hero, I'm ready to donate, as I gladly paid money for WmWifiRouter on my previous phones.
Same problem with me. Is anyone else getting the "AC disabled" message in the notification window once the PC is "supposedly" tethered? I noticed my phone getting really hot.
I'd really like to know why this works in the Mocado ROM but not just by installing the application alone after rooting. I don't want to start messing with custom ROMS just yet.

Not sure but what I did notice is that when I ran it for the first time on Mocado's ROM I got a prompt asking me to "Allow" the app certain rights. Now when I installed the app before I flashed his ROM but right after rooting my phone I did not get this prompt. Maybe the way it's installed on his ROM has something extra that has it correctly and fully installed on the ROM to allow it to work properly.
the permissions screen is just adding the program to the super user whitelist kinda like a list of programs permitted to run as su maybe downloading super user white list off the market I remember getting it from there with my G1 if not just pull the apk from the modaco Ron but you should try the modaco rom you don't even have to wipe all your settings and everything will stay the same.
I know it isn't ideal, but you can share the internet connection ICS style if you do the following:
adb shell
Code:
su
/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
At which point you will get disconnected from your adb shell and the internet Windows will recognize the Hero as an NDIS adapter. To turn it off I just go into Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile network sharing and toggle it on then off again.
There might be a way to get netsharing to also flip the usb function, using net_and_usb but it doesn't seem to work and my ARM disassembly skills aren't good enough to tell why.
Hey guys,
My wifi tether did not work, even with root, until I installed MoDoCo's ROM. After I did, it was gravy from there. 2.4 down .60 up.
mine works
mine works too, i just use it as a wireless router...
Mine works flawlessly on MoDaCo's Rom. Im guessing it has something to do with a string of code that the custom rom has that the stock one doesnt.
I finally took the plunge into the MoDaCo rom. Easy as pie and tethering works with no prob. Just Do it.
Yeah. I see no reason why not to go with the MoDaCo's. This was my first time flashing a rom on anything and it got it easily the first try.
Can all of ya'll confirm that the encryption or device access list does NOT work on wifi tethering app?
Device access list seems to work fine for me, but the encryption does not.
Anyone know if there's a workaround for USB tether yet, that allows native mobile network sharing? (not that crazy switch off/switch on quickly workaround that doesn't always work)
I don't really like the wifi tether because it drains my battery, even if my phone is plugged in to my laptop via USB.
Also, I haven't been able to get above 1.2 mbps down speeds with the wifi tether, and I was hoping that native mobile network sharing might help this. Anyone else having slow connection issues with this?
Wifi tether does not work on the stock Sprint ROM. It does (for some reason) work on Modaco's.
Check this link for the developers thread on whats happening - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188
He doesnt have a Sprint Hero to test with so he needs our help.
fixed!
The developer has released a new "pre-version" of Wireless Tether that works on the stock Sprint HTC Hero ROM (with root access, obviously)! As per user capnbry, "..the problem is that the gprs table has a default route on it, and it has a higher priority than main, which is where the wireless route goes. If you `ip route delete table gprs` after starting android.tether everything works like a charm." The developer has added this step into the program, and it works!
See the thread for details, or download the new "pre-version" here: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk

internet shareing in the settings menu is only if you have PAM assioated with your account and it's like 15 or 50 bucks per line I think? It's expensive....
what you need is the wifi tethering for testing, I think flipz's roms have it pretty much ironed out, give it a try. When you get that to work, try doing usb tethering with the same rom. I don't think any actions are required from the computer side as long as it sees your phone. But I could be wrong.
Darchlegend v4 and v5 have tethered great over usb for me (no i don't pay for it). Occasionally it has trouble initially connecting through to the internet, but toggling mobile data seems to fix it. Once connected it has always worked like a champ (tested on a 3000 mile road trip).
i did forget one huge step. I installed the Droid Eris sync software from HTC. You can get it from here >> http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-eris-verizon/downloads/
This worked to tether two different Win7 64 bit laptops to two different Hero phones.

Is he using the built in feature or a different app? I was using PDAnet for a while until I rooted my phone and found out about wireless tether. It's been 5x faster than PDAnet was.
If Darch's is like the one on Damage's then it may be that it's from a different carrier and does not check to see if you pay for the service or not. Damage's is a Sprint ROM and is checking username and password to see if you are paying for the servce.

It is based on the Legend dump, but I am fairly sure that MNS worked on Damage's build for me as well. It looks identical, I switch in the top taskbar from charge only to internet sharing.
Got the error 65
so have we centered in on what the cause of this one is?
again, i have PAM on my account...

you didn't mention either one of these in your prior post.
a 65 error is a sign in failure. Are you sure PAM is working on a stock 1.5 rom? Something doesn't smell right with what you're saying. Start from there and test. If it works there and doesn't work here, then we can go further. It might be as simple as finding out how the damage rom is signing into the second account, it should accessed by a dialed #777, this is different depending on what carrier the rom was probally based off of. If we find out it is a problem with the rom and not your account you could throw damage a message and make reference to this thread.
If it doesn't work on the official 1.5, sprint tech support should be able to help you with that, and no amount of xda wizardry will be able to modify your sprint account.
"65 Error Code 65 Unknown error. Sign in failed.
Please try again. If the problem persists, turn your
phone off then turn it on again. Non-specific error as

Hello everyone,
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but after searching and searching thoroughly I was unable to find a solution.
I have the T Mobile HTC HD2, the phone is better than any iPhone I ever owned. (Just had to get that out... )
I have a question concerning the HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing. I installed the app, ran it without any issues. The signal was picked up by one of my laptops. I was able to connect and surf the web over 3G, pretty quick I must say...
The issue I am having is, since connecting that one time, I have not been able to see the phone as a router since. When I run the app and choose T-Mobile data, the 3G pops up. The wireless antenna icon pops up and the app says it is ready to receive incoming connections. BUT, I am unable to see this from any of my wireless devices.
My questions are, is there any specific procedure to get this to run correct? Do I have to disable wireless on the HD2? Is there some WinMo 6.5 firewall running? I know others have experienced this, but I am unable to track down a solution.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
mcv50
Are you running the app through Settings-All Settings-Connections-Wifi Internet Sharing? Or running the WifiRouter app?

I am running the app through Settings-All Settings-Connections-Wifi Internet Sharing
After i installed the cab, this is the only place I could find a way to launch the app.
Why is there another way?
I downloaded a random wifi sharing app and had the same problem, then found XDA-Tom_Codom CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA. Worked like a charm. I would uninstall and try that one.
SxyCupcake, thanks for the suggestion.
I uninstalled, then installed the XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA.cab you suggested. I get the same result. I am rebooting right now to see if that may help...
After rebooting, I get the same thing. It almost seems like something is blocking the WiFi Transmit antenna signal or maybe it is not activating correctly... Might be a registry setting or something.
I may have fudged up some setting using BsB Tweaks or XT Hack Beta2... I might wind up just doing a complete restore and start from scratch.
Still doesn't work. I will check back often and post a solution if I figure it out.
Thank you,

Q: My PC or Laptop is not seeing the SSID.
A: For the people having trouble seeing the network, make sure your pc displays adhoc connections and not just access points.
Now it is working...
Moved as not software release.
Okay, need a little bit of assistance to see what basic step I am missing. I've just taken my stock Sprint HTC Hero (1.56 RUU), rooted it using the steps on the site here, and flashed the Fresh 2.1 ROM onto the device through the MicroSD Card. Between the rooting and the custom Flash, I was hoping this would be enough to get tethering working but I seem to be stuck somewhere.
When I attempt to use the Wifi Tether for Root that's built in, no other computer is able to see the created access point, so as a result, no connections, no data passing. It doesn't shoot up any error message, nor does it cause any interruption in my mobile network data as a result. So everything appears to work well, just not tethering.
Maybe related, maybe not, when I try and do a straight-up wired tether, I get an Error 67 saying my Sprint username and password are wrong. I was hoping that with just rooting the phone now and using a Fresh ROM that is post when they found out about the PRI issues that it would fix it. My PRI currently shows as flipz_01.
So, I've done the research, I've come up with solutions that appear to be helpful, I'm just wanting to get a little assurance of the next step I need to do to make sure this works, still new to the Android flashing process.
Thanks!
When you used WiFi tether, were you prompted to give it superuser permissions? If so, did you allow?

Yes, was prompted, and told it to always allow.
make sure you have wireless tether 1.6, newer does not seem to work
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
or you can try wired 1.2, haven't tried it myself.

The version that comes with the latest Fresh 2.1 ROM is 1.6, so I don't think that's the issue.
The thing that concerns me is that the PRI says "flipz_01". Most everyone on here seems to have PRI numbers that match something completely different, and I am worried that mine may have been overwritten. I have done a check for an updated PRL since I moved to the custom ROM, but nothing with the PRI.
Honestly, I didn't do anything fancy at all. I just fired it up and looked for the ESSID on my laptop. When I selected it to connect, I went back to the phone, selected menu, Access Control, and selected my laptop to allow the connection. It just worked from there.

Don't sweat that. He did that so you could tell that the proper PRI is being used. As long as your PRL is 60663 or 60664, you are good to go.
pri is why the wired tether through htc sync doesn't work, and you can't do anything about that, I'm afraid. Uninstall wireless tether and try to reinstall. It worked great for me when I was on fresh rom.

... and it is 60664, so that's good.
Now as far as an ESSID code, where on the laptop did you find that? Assume I'm running Windows 7 ... cause I am!
And, a secondary question for my own familiarity. Should I be seeing an infastructure access point with this wireless tether or is everything done ad hoc?
danaff37: Since the wireless tether is cooked in to the Fresh ROM, is uninstalling going to involve re-cooking the ROM or is there an app I need to acquire to make the process doable? I don't mind if that's the case, although it will certainly be more of an adventure! Good to know on the wired tether with HTC Sync too, I'll try the wired tether app for that purpose.
it's an ad hoc network.
did it ask for su permission when you stopped it as well?
... and with that I think we have our answer. Just tested this on an older XP laptop with Intel ProSet since it does a great job of seeing ad hoc wireless, and it saw it right off the bat. I did notice that the app didn't remember my custom SSID, which is fine as long as I can tell what SSID to use.
(Now asking about ESSID feels a bit silly)
That said, should Windows 7 be seeing these ad-hoc networks in its normal view, or do I need to specially program those names in?
danaff37: Yep, it's allowed in both directions. SU was never an issue which is why I was initially a bit fooled.
(and go figure, my Win7 laptop sees it now, I think it was playing tricks on me!)
Thanks for the help guys, there are great tips in here for newbies like me getting used to the tethering.
I think it defaults to "HTCTether", but don't quote me on that. You can change it to whatever you want in the wireless tether app in its settings/preferences.
Bring up your wireless network connection manager on your pc and let it scan for available networks. Hopefully, the tether will be listed.
I have win 7 64 bit, and it picks it up fine. Shows up after a couple of seconds of turning it on.
default is g1Tether
I am running Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit and it found it without any problems as well. I haven't tried it on Linux yet. May be time to reboot just to see....
I have a fully functional wired tether and wireless tether setup on my phone running Fresh 2.0d (I have also changed my PRI)
all the information to do this is readily availible if you search
I usually have to start wifi tether and then go to mobile network and uncheck it then check it again then I can get on the internet.
Edit: This works with Linux and Windows. In Linux I had trouble connecting, I used Wifi Radar to do it. It works perfectly after that.

This. There's a thread on getting MNS working, I actually was using it for two weeks until we got our internet turned on. Worked great and I transferred over 3GB with no problem.
same thing for me
flipz pri is 1.70, and thats the correct one, although to my knowledge wired tether doesnt work, only wireless tether works, when you first open wireless tether, it should ask you to allow superuser permissions, you have to make you sure you click always allow. Make sure you use wireless tether 1.6 it works best.
I have an Evo4g i rooted with unrevoked a while ago back when i had 3.29. installed wifi tether for android and it worked great. so once 3.70 was released i wanted to chech it out... made the upgraded. super user was there titanium back up working fine along with adfree, dropcap.. and other root required apps. however android wifi tether was a no go.
I had no errors in the logs. on one version of wifi tether ithe pc saw the connection but could not connect. on another version it could connect but no internet access. messed around with access control. changed the channels. all that fun stuff to no avail. so i broke down and downloaded barnacle wifi tether from the market.
it works! however there are some devices that do not recognize the wifi signal, that did recognize the one from android wifi tether(when it worked).. from what i understand it should just work.. i've also been reading some things about custom roms and kernels that i may need.. but why should i need them on an evo that it worked on before ?
barnacle says it doesn't need a custom kernel to work and android does that seems to be the only difference, i can tell.. so since android wifi tether worked for every device i would rather have that than barnacle. help?
do i need an iptable enabled kernel ? what do i do?
Thanks for your time folks and please bare with a noob
