Wifi Tether Installed but not showing up on Network - Epic 4G Android Development

Well the root seemed to go through without any problems using the OneClickrootexploit v2.2.4
and i installed the wireless_thether_2_0_5-pre8.apk
and everything seems as if its working but the Android Tether SSID doesnt show up on my wireless network.... anyone else having this problem?

its working for me....hmmmmm

whats also weird is my htc evo tether (that i know is working ) doesnt show up on my Samsung Epic Wifi when i have it activated , im assuming its because my network is disconnected from that phone now..... i dont really have anything else to test it out with other than my ipad that is at work... so ill know for sure tomorrow

From what I have heard, the Epic only puts out a Wireless N signal. So if you are trying to connect with any device that is only a/b/g, then it will not work.

You were right .... when I used my friens iphone it showed up right away
Thanks

I had the same problem. Updated to the latest drivers on my wireless network card on my laptop and then I was able to see it. My laptop is not wireless N just b/g/

the wireless n thing doesn't make sense because I tried using the sprint hotspot and it showed up on my computer as a network to connect to, using Wifi Tether for rooted users never shows up.

Make sure your computer is set to look for Ad-hoc networks, instead of only infrastructure.

How do I set it up to look for ad hoc networks?

YEAH BABY!! I returned my phone to stock, rerooted, and installed the newest version of Wireless Tether for rooted users(version 2.0.5 pre9) and it now works. Getting 2.52mb download on 3g.
Im sure all I needed to do is update to the latest version of Wireless Tether, but I wanted to start fresh anyway.

When I installed wireless tether and tried, it would not broadcast an ssid.
From the app, pressed menu, settings, then menu again and selected re-install binaries and configs.
This fixed my tether, nice and simple. Hope this saves someone a reflash.

Works
2.0.5 pre 9 - googled it, downloaded it, uninstalled the officall 2.0.2, installed the new one and BAM! getting 1.5mbp down

Having a problem here. I am using Wifi Tether 2.0.5 Pre-11 and it works great on all devices except the Zune HD. When I use Sprint Hotspot my network shows up fine on the Zune HD but using Wifi Tether I don't get any network from my phone, but Itouch and Iphone does. What can I do to fix this? Thanks. I think it has something to do with adhoc or wirelesss N, I am not sure.
Ok now I have definitely figured it out. The app will only do Ad-Hoc and not infrastructure, any Wifi Tether apps that do infrastructure?

Use the i900 mobleAP app. That broadcasts in infrastructure mode.

I am going to give that a shot once I get out of work. I tried downloading Clockwork ROM Manager and then installed the Recovery but couldn't get it to work. Kept booting to android recovery.

works on stock ..... but not any deodexed

Ok I am going to give it a shot now. Currently restoring to stock ROM since I was tying out that Heroic Epic ROM.
SUCCESS it works. But now my Galaxy S bootscreen looks broken. It has a flickering square that says ANDROID while booting up. Happened after restoring with Clockwork Recovery.

[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

can't connect wifi on wpa/wpa2

so I just went back to stock froyo and rooted from Eagleblood. On the custom rom I was able to connect to my network just fine but now on stock it will not connect. Does anyone know of a fix?
I tried the wifi analyzer and also set DNS method to no avail. Thanks

how to connect to 4G after root?

Hi,
I followed this thread and rooted my Xoom successfully
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241
Before I rooted I was on the 4G network, now I can't get on the 4g network. I cannot even get on the 3g network. I have Data enabled under mobile network settings and I activated my device.
Any ideas on how to connect again? Wifi works.
Is it possible I wiped the 4g upgrade off the xoom by rooting? thanks
Pull your sim with power on. It will give a msg, then put it back in and reboot. Make sure wifi is off too.

Hi thanks for the reply
I did this and didn't get any message. I pulled it and now rebooted it. Still no luck
edit: to make it more clear it says no internet connection but the signal fluctuates and it says i have 3.2.1 is that the problem? I think 4g+ is 3.2.2 but even my 3g isnt working
I fixed the problem
I tried using the 3G method to root it after it was unrooted because of the 4g method. That didn't work so I flashed the oem boot.img file. That was the 3.2.1 file when I was supposed to use the 3.2.2 one that Motorola just released about a week ago
I went back and used the oem boot.img file this time 3.2.2 and it worked.

I can`t enable internet in MIUI

After installing MIUI I can`t enable data transfer (2g/3g internet). Data transfer is turning on, but there is no 2g/3g logo and internet. This happens after installing all MIUI stock and custom roms. APN settings is correct, before it was ok. I`m installing via Clockwork recovery v5. Device is G2x (P999)
What should I do? How to enable it?
I believe for the g2x you should see an H next to the bars, that is if you are in a good service area.
Otherwise I think it also shows G, and E.
If it doesn't have anything at all, then I'm not sure.
Does the internet work when you go inti the browser?

im using rg2x right now and the only way to fix it is with a hard reboot every time i turn my phone back on
try reflashing the faux kernel it worked for me to fix a problem i had not being able to turn my wifi on it should work for you too
what i have a problem is the backupp app does nto work for me im runing rg2x miui by richie
Yah I have the same problem, I notice it works but when you use WiFi then your done w/ the wifi and shut it off the regular cell data never comes back on - You have to completely reboot the phone...I'm using SINGH-UI - same thing

I`ve tried SINGH UI too, as I remember wi-fi is on by defalut, isn`t it? So, I turned it off, and use my phone few days. Rebooted it few times, but data not worked ((
I had this problem before, go to ur APNs and go to authentication and make the authentication "None" instead of "Not set". That will enable ur data

Hey go to SETTINGS->MOBILE NETWORKS->ACCESS POINT NAMES-> in here select option button in your android phone, in the menu select NEW APN, you will get the APN settings as seen in this. In the link ACCESS NUMBER = SERVER in mobile.
As I am not allowed to post link for first ten TIMES! will guide you through
google search -> "vodafone apn address" the third result will be GPRS APN Settings with Username and Password - Modem Unlock. Click it and follow the method above mentioned.

HTC 4g (GLACIER) cyanogen 7.20 stable wifi turns off

Hi guys, i have a problem here, i followed this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide everything went smooth
i had to dowgrade as the page says as it had already gingerbread, every step went smooth, then i booted and everything apparently fine, except when i turn on my wifi it autoshuts down after some seconds (the wifi not the phone).
tried 7.2 latest nightly and same thing.
please help
this is a tmobile unit
htc mytouch 4g (aka glacier right?)
note: backed up as directed but upon restore i just get an md5 error so no going back
currently this info is shoing:
android version 2.3.7
baseband 12.28b.60.14eU_26.03.02.26_M
kernel 2.6.35.14 cyanogenmod-g295e82f
mod version cyanogenmod 7.20120909-nightly-glacier
Same problem here. I'm also using a CM7 nightly.
Under Wifi Advanced settings, its showing MAC address as unavailable. So far I've tried a "wifi fixer" on the android market, and I opened up the phone to check the two cables for Wifi.
Try reflashing probably a bad download or u can flash a new Rom such has android revolution or insert coin I recommend these Rom because they gingerbread an are most stable for glacier an really smooth

Be sure you're doing a complete wipe before flashing a ROM. Check out 4EXT recovery, as it has an option for wiping all partitions.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda app-developers app
Thanyou, i think I have done wipe, as instructed on link, I followed exactly, maybe is not the rom as I have tried at least 3 cm versions, and 2 non cyanm, I returned to stock (downgrade version, 2.2) and still no luck, but I havnt tried the one it had, stock, 2.3, I have reflashed many times, this is a used phone, that I am unlocking for a friend, and while I was on it he asked for a rom, he got this cheap, and was not using it because of carrier lock, but I actually never checked if wifi was working before flashing it, so probably its just broken and that is why he got it so cheap lol (like 40 bucks) wil trry ota 2.3 and the others you guys suggested, just to exhaust possibilities,, but not with much hope, ty both for taking the time to answer

in my case I can't go to advanced, as it is only available when wifi is on, and I'm not fast enough to setup a network before out turns off, I cheeked someone with same problem on tmobile forums, no root, no flash,.regular ota, support said that if just factoiry reset with no sd, and before installing anything then its phone problem and needs to be replaced,
Any idea how to fix this piece of wifi hardware, are there available spare wifi chips or something? (i obviously can't return to tmobile a is used , phone from a foreign country :$

Weird thing is that wifi tethering works fine. Also I started noticing this problem after switching back to Gingerbread from ICS. I've reflashed several times with the other luck.
