"Wireless Tether for Root Users" app won't stay connected

Does anyone else have this problem?
My laptop will stay connected for a maybe a minute at a time, sometimes just a few seconds and I have to reconnect. Under Wireless Network Connection, the network is listed as "On Demand", if that helps.
I've tried every version of "Wireless Tether for Root Users" I can find and they all have the same problem. Is there anyway to stay connected?

Is it possible that your computer won't let you connect to an Ad-hoc connection? Maybe as soon as it realizes what it's connecting to it jumps off?

Havent had a problem, are you using the administration portion of wireless thether, you might have to just confirm the connection on the phone and apply the settings, you should have a green sheild when on your phone when a allowed device is connected

As far as I know ad hoc networks are allowed, I am using windows xp.
I have access control on and my laptop is allowed and connects fine, it just will not stay connected.
I am using a Toshiba nb205 netbook with windows xp.
On the Choose a Wireless Network window, next to G1Tether it says "On Demand" instead of Manual or Automatic. I've never seen that before.
I'm using the internet fine, I just have to reconnect every 30 seconds or so. Perhaps my google skills are too weak, but I cannot find anything, any help is very much appreciated.

Can you connect to a wifi network from the phone and stay connected?
Can you connect to a wifi network from the laptop and stay conencted?
"On Demand" is normal for Ad-Hoc Networks.

I had the same problem after upgrading from fresh 1.0 to 1.1 w/ gk-31. I uninstalled wireless tether and reinstalled it from my mybackup pro app backup (the one I made before flashing the new Rom and kernel. Works just fine now.
If I'm not mistaken I believe flipz included a newer version of wireless tether, maybe the old one works better.

I just realized I assumed you are using freshrom...
Might try reinstalling it anyways, let us know how it works out.

Reinstalling didn't work. I'll try out some roms tonight and see if they work any better, thanks anyways

Old post I know, but just wanted to see if anyone had any more ideas here. I don't think it's an android app issue at all, but rather windows. I'll be cruising along the highway with a fine connection, but as soon as windows picks up a random access point, it will jump off my ad-hoc connection and try to connect to the other one. not cool.

Tether Xoom to Blackberry?

Simply want to know if I can tether my Blackberry 9700 with an unlimited data plan to the Motorola Xoom I just pre-ordered.
Anyone here with a Blackberry been able to do this so far?
Any help or a point in the right direction would be great! Thanks in advance!

Well the Blackberry can tether over bluetooth, right? There's a huge thread on how to tether over Bluetooth.

I did see that thread and go through all 8 pages. There was one mention of a BB but there was no confirmation of it working on the Xoom.
Any information about this is welcome. If it connects over BT that's awesome!

The Xoom definitely has been confirmed to tether over Bluetooth from Android and iPhones, but I'm not 100% on BB. Don't know why it wouldn't though.

I'm interested in this as well. But unfortunately I can never get my xoom to connect to my BB torch, although it pairs fine.

From what I read, once it pairs you should see a "Wrench" symbol in the Xoom next to where you see the BB. What happens when you hit that?

The real problem with trying to BT tether the xoom with a bb (I tried with my bold 9700) is that the DUN (Dial-Up Networking) profile is not recognized/supported between the xoom and the bb. This specific kinf of bluetooth profile/protocpl is what allows you to use the phone as a modem by dialing the "data" number (ex *99***1# on GSM phones)...until someone creates a bt dun application for the android, I don't think it will be possible to bt tether the xoom to the bb.

Don't know if this will work for the Xoom, but this is apparently the Blackberry to Ipad tethering process (let me know if this works, btw):
I’m not a Blackberry user at all, but I thought this was interesting as RIM still sells a heck of a lot of phones I’m sure there are a lot of iPad users who own Blackberry’s. A user of just such a combo on the Crackberry Forums came up with a method to tether a Jailbroken iPad to his Blackberry. It doesn’t give you quite 3G speeds, but some internet is better than none!
NOTES
This will not give you 3G speeds. Bluetooth DUN using PDAnet gives about 50kB/s. Faster than edge, but half as fast as 3G. Thats fine by me, as I won’t have to pay for additional data plan to verizon.
If you are being redirected to verizon website, ensure that ‘dial up networking’ is disabled in your blackberry bluetooth options.
These instructions are for Verizon, for directions on other mobile carriers, please go here for reference.
Requirements
Jailbroken iPad
Blackberry phone (tested with blackberry storm 9530)
ibluever: Install from Cydia (you can try the demo for free. if demo works, ensure to uninstall before installing paid release)
PDAnet: PdaNet — Use your BlackBerry as a USB Modem (click ‘install pdanet 1.30′ only)
1. Run ibluever from your iPad
2. Click ‘ON’ You should be able to see your phone
3. Click on blue arrow of your device to edit the following fields
pin code: 0000 (or any combination of numbers)
dial number: #777 (for verizon wireless)
chat script: default non GPRS (refer to link at bottom for reference as to what options to choose)
Authentication: On
Sniff Mode: Off
Waiting SDP: On
4. Go to your blackberry bluetooth options menu and DISABLE ‘dial up networking’ and click save

You may need this installed on the XOOM:

I will try both methods once the Xoom arrives. Doing some more research I came across this app, http://tether.com/blackberry/download
Does anyone have experience with this app in particular?

PDAnet is essentially a client that would need to be run on both devices to create a BT DUN profile. Currently, PDAnet for android is designed as the "server" end of the client to pipe its own 3G internet to a laptop. As far as I know, there is no PDAnet "client" for android devices. It basically looks like CobaltBlue does the same thing as PDAnet.

I have NO IDEA if the following post that I found on amazon is in ANY WAY related to the tethering problem but here you go:
This keyboard was tested with Galaxy Tab and Motorola Xoom. It works with both. It works with any device that uses HID bluetooth profile. It will not work with devices that use SPP bluetooth profile. Blackberry and many android phones use SPP profile. So, you need to check with the manufacturer before buying the keyboard.

It is related to a BT keyboard (obviously) but since it states different BT connection profiles maybe someone else can use this information and see whether it might help with the tethering problem.

Okay so I got a chance to experiment today. You're super right. Anyone know of a "client" for Android to use with PDAnet on BB.
Any other methods of accomplishing tether is welcome!

You can bluetooth tether it. Just sync the devices, go to the xoom and click the lil wrench after they are conneted and select tethering.
Edit (Forget this post, this is how i tether my MT4G to Xoom. Dont know if this will work with BB)

Does anyone know how to get CobaltBlue. I live in the US and when I try to downland it for my Xoom, it says not available for my carrier.

No go on my BB 9630. After pairing, on the BB under the bluetooth device properties for the xoom, the only available services are Voice Gateway, OBEX Object Push, and AVRCP TG.
I'm a Tether for BB owner as well. I noticed people expressing interest in the forums at tether.com, but as of yet, no client-side piece for android. Maybe if more of us go there and express interest he'll make it higher on his priority list.

I know somewhere in the world it probably caused a YouTube kitten to die, but I successfully tethered my laptop to my blackberry, then used connectify.me to fake an ad-hoc on my laptop and connected to it with my MZ604.
I feel like I need a shower.

But will the xoom connect to an ad-hoc wireless signal without the wireless patch/hack? My suspicion is no....

No, but that's an android limitation, not a Xoom limitation. Iirc it was android bug id 84 or 86 or something. But connectify.me is free and dead simple to use.

I have tried using PDANet on BB9700 on AT&T and without any modifications on BB (as mentioned in this thread - disabling Dial Up networking) does not work. Clicking on the wrench on the Xoom does not bring up the Tether option.
The CobaltBlue app mentioned above does not install from the market. Will try to side load that. Will also try by disabling the Dial up networking option in BB and post results.

[Q] Wifi Issues

I've had this amazing tablet for 2 weeks now but sadly I seem to have an infuriating Wi Fi issue.
It connects fine
The reception is excellent
When I download large files (ie the data for a game), the network just drops out and reconnects. When I'm not downloading anything sizeable, it's fine.
Any ideas?

*Shameless bumpski*!

Is "Power Saving" on? If so, turn it off. Other than that, maybe it's your router? I haven't had the same issue with my Note 10.1, either at home or on the road.

Try changing the channel on your router. Usually 1 and 6 are the best.

Thanks for both of your replies.
So - it continues - I've tried all the channels on my router now (BT Home Hub 3) and it still disconnects when downloading large files only. Power saving is off also!
I phoned Samsung - they didn't know and said that it was mostly likely a rare faulty unit. So - I've taken it back to the shop and I've just been given a brand new one.
Guess what. SAME THING! Grrr. So it can't be the device, it must just be a weird incompatibility with my router? Any other ideas or know of any apps that might help me resolve this?
The only other thing is to wait for the JB upgrade and hope that fixes it :/

Right further developments - when I connect to a hotspot like starbucks (where the connection speed is limited), I can download HUGE files and it never disconnects.
So therefore either the Note 10.1 doesn't like an 85mb connection or it's the only device in my house that hates my router....
Annoying though! Still would appreciate any thoughts on the matter.

Get a different router...sorry, someone had to say it.

Useful.
I've actually slowed the router down from wifi b/g/n to just b/g and now the tablet works perfectly fine.
So obviously there's an issue with the wireless-n on the note because all my other devices work fine at this rate.
I hope JB will fix that.

I have no issues with the Wi-Fi on this tablet, I'm quite pleased with the dual band.

Yeah, sounds like something with the N implementation of your router not getting along with the Note. I have a Netgear N300 router I bought in the spring, and the Note has no problems running on it in N. I get blazing fast speeds, and haven't had problems with file transfers of any size (I've moved a few 1.5GB movies over the network to it).
Is your current router an older model? Many of them were labelled "draft-N", and the implementation may not be totally correct for N devices. Also, try updating your router firmware if possible, and if that doesn't work give one of the alternative router firmwares (Tomato or DD-WRT for example) a try.

Thanks - well this is the funny thing. When N is on, it connects perfectly and until it 'conks out' it downloads at an incredible speed. Then reconnects!
The router is a British Telecom special and sadly I'm kind of locked to it as it's not a standard ADSL model, rather a fibre optic one and they don't come easily in the UK (afaik). It's not draft-N either...it's just a final implementation of N!
The wireless has a 40Mhz option with N but that seemed to do the same. It's only when I knock N out it's alright.

Exact Same Issue
I have the exact same issue. Only drops out at N speeds with large file transfer. Starts off fine, getting great speeds of almost 4 mb / s, but then just stops.
If I switch n file transfer off, it works fine, but at much slower speeds around 1 mb / s
I am using a zoom 5350 cable modem / router - the firmware is updated by the cable supplier which is Comcast.
Anyone have any ideas here? I also returned my first note to as I thought this was a hardware flaw, but new one I got yesterday does the same.

Solved

Update - shockingly, unplugging the cable modem / router and powering it back up now has transfers working at full n speed with no dropouts. Software glitch with the cable companies firmware update perhaps that reset??
Anyway, after having a good 25 attempts drop out before this, every attempt has worked fine since power on/off of modem/router.

No way! That's bizarre!! Good to know it's not just me.....I will try a full reset of my modem/router and see what happens.
If this fixes it, I will kiss your face.

Nexus 5 won't work with my WiFi network

Nexus won't connect to my WiFi network , I was using my nexus 5 without issues but today we upgraded the internet speed , and to be able to do it ,we had to get a new modem (besides the new data plan ) , the thing is now I can't get internet on my phone while connected to the WiFi , it connects but I can't do do anything , when I open the browser I get this message :

Check Modem or Router settings for MAC filtering.

It's got to go in the int port or you won't have a dhcp server and only 1 device well be able to connect.
Wire it up correctly then turn both the modem and router off for a minute, then turn back on the modem and wait a couple of minutes or until the lights confirm it's connected, then turn on your router and wait a minute, then try connecting to it.

if your modem has LAN ports then it's likely an all in one router/modem.. for basic setup just use that one
it gets complicated after that as how to set two up as you only want one to be serving ideally, and the 2nd as a wireless access point or client repeater..

What?
Ok first shut down the modem and the router. Plug in the cable from the modem into the "internet" port on the router. Turn on everything and you should be all good.
Your roomtates laptop should be plugged into one of the LAN (the other 4 ports) on the router.

Go to your Nexus 5 Settings, look under WiFi for your router - are the settings correct & matched to those of your (new) router? What are they? Do you have another smartphone or tablet or wireless PC - connecting & working with this new router?
You might want to power down your router/modem, wait 5 or 10 minutes - then reboot it & wait for it to resync (DHCP or static IP) with all the network devices, including the N5? Make sure you have the SSID and security key or password saved or copied down first in case you have to restore them, including DNS settings.
Seeing that your location is Berlin - check to make sure your WiFi band(s) are set correctly on this new router.
Can you disable temporary your wireless security & connect openly with the N5?
Most modem/router can be reset to its factory default settings - read your manual & do it as a kind of last resort ... copy & save your current settings. Do these troubleshooting steps-by-steps & don't overlook the obvious - google/download/install/run "inSSIDer 3" by MetaGeek on a laptop or desktop with wireless access, it's a very user-friendly & useful diagnostic tool to analyze and troubleshoot network signals, etc.

Hey , no need to be sorry , you guys are bringing me in the right direction ... Sooo I checked my old modem and yeah it has a USB port, 2 telephone ports and a port named "Ethernet" whereas my new modem has just 2 telephone ports and 5 "LAN ports " , our internet company just gives a modem and if we want to have WiFi then we need to pay 2 euros more , my roommate had always used a modem +router combo but it looks like that won't work with this modem anymore , maybe the company got this new modem to make the set up process easier for people and of course to prevent people like us from getting WiFi with our own methods :/

So you, like you said, I have to use the new modem I got , I can't plug in a router, now checking my Provider's website I realise that there's two different devices, the one I have Hitron cve-30360 ( I assume is a model specifically built for my provider - Kabel Deutschland- is a "Cable-router and WLAN-Router" and there's another (more expensive) device homebox fritz box 6360, which is a "Modem, WLAN-Router, Server and Telephone System" so what's basically the difference between this two devices? To be honest I thought the device I had was a modem and it turns out it's a "Cable-router"

I had a read up, unfortunately most info is in German for me, but the info on the main site is indeed confusing
it does appear to be an all in one cable modem wifi router, check the features page, euro docsys3.0 compliant.. also the picture of the back shows a cable connector, so it has to be.
You should be able to connect everything to that wirelessly and wired.. you should of been supplied an ssid and password
edit, unless your cable company turned off the wireless and locked you out of the settings on the new device.. in that case connect the second router via the LAN and turn off the dhcp server in its settings.. edit...or set wireless access point, if it has it

Tethering device over wifi possible?

So basically I'm looking to use an old feature that I once had on my Blackberry 9790 which was to be able to tether my data connection of my phone to my computer via a wi-fi router. I can seem to find any app capable of doing this on android. I have an S5 and it has no innate feature capable of doing this.
Basically what I'm trying to do is connect to my phone using wifi (from pc to phone) and have my phone in a remote area where the signal is high since most of the area in my house has horribly low signal coverage I intend on putting my phone in an area where the signal is higher and connecting to my phone via my wireless router which is what i did with my 9790 blackberry a couple of years ago.
To be clear, I'm not trying to connect to use my phone as a hotspot in the conventional sense because that would mean I'd need a wireless adapter capable of incoming and outgoing connections of that type which is obviously not what a wireless router is capable of

you mean making your phone as a wifi hotspot?

To be clear, I'm not trying to connect to use my phone as a hotspot in the conventional sense because that would mean I'd need a wireless adapter capable of incoming and outgoing connections of that type which is obviously not what a wireless router is capable of

What you described is exactly Wifi Tethering (or the so called Hotspot).

Umm, pretty much all wireless adapters can recive Wifi signal (802.11) of your phone. You maybe confused it with Bluetooth.
Anyways this app, FoxFi, can do everything you want with or without root. You can transfer internet to your PC with wifi, bluetooth or even USB!

Okay let me explain this in practical use. I can't make my phone hotspot and connect to the hotspot via my router. Majority of routers cannot take on internet connection via wifi but can push general connections including internet. That being said, I would need a wifi adapter (dongle) to connect to my phone's hotspot (which I dont have). Which leads me to the question I asked which is how does one tether one's device via WiFi? There's a very subtle difference between tethering via hotspot and tethering as mentioned above. Just like my blackberry, it could only connect in this manner with the blackberry desktop app and could not do this through any other program. Basically what I'm asking if there's any app combination that will make this possible? (NO HOTSPOTS)

ill try to review this once i get home.. im still confused on what you are trying to mean..

From this I can tell that you are trying to connect your ROUTER TO your PHONE? That is not possible and I don't see why would you do that.

I think you mean how to bridge a wifi connection? Bridging is basicly you connect your phone to a internet-enabled device and the phone than shares the internet even further.
If this is not the case, please draw what you mean. Like this:
