intermittent connectivity while tethering - Thunderbolt General

I'm experiencing intermittent connectivity while tethering my thunderbolt through either wifi or a usb cable. I usually have to restart the app or the phone to get it back. Anyone else experiencing this?

i used to have this happen to me alll the time. now i rarely see it. was using bamf rom at the time and nothing but grief. now i'm on synergy rom and using wireless tether 2.07 and no problems. which rom/kernel/radio are you using?

funny you should mention that as i'm using bamf 3.0 haha. Guess I know what I need to do now.

btw, the latest wireless tether app, the 3.01 or something, doesn't work. try either the 207 or 205 version. whichever will give you better stability. the stock tethering app that comes with the rom and anyother rom, doesnt give me good results. i wasn't able to download even a 350mb rom without loosing the 4g, no its not a problem. i also noticed that the 4g disappears whenever i opened too many tabs at the same time on tethered computer. guess too many pages loading at the same time somehow overloads something. i have no explanation.

I use BAMF and have same problem and i noticed connectivety dropped when display went to sleep so when tethering i turn it to not cut off and i have no problems now

this is a different problem. i think that he's talking about the 4g connection disappearing for a second, then reappearing, but being unable to tether anymore. happens at random. ur talking about he wifi sleep policy thing.

Cyanogen 6.1 update - No 3g anymore

I have tried 3 different versions of the Cyanogen mod on my Hero over the last few days and I can't get my data to stay on 3g. I'm staying in the same areas I've always used my phone and I never had problems before. Luckily I can stay on wireless most of the day, but 1x is driving me nuts.
Radio version is 2.42.01.04.27
Any suggestions? My last thoughts are to go back to stock and hope I get my 3g back...

Maybe you need to update your PRL?
As far as I know, the only way to do that is to flash a Sense ROM, go in to the settings (Under phone info, I believe), and do a PRL update. Then you can flash back to CM6.1 and see if it worked?
You can also try flashing different radios to see which gives the best signal for your area, but that has a slight chance of bricking your phone, so... Be careful?

PRL might be it. I doubt a different radio would help. I've not had any problems with the newest radio and I've been running on it for a while. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a problem with turning off wifi. If I restart the phone I can start and stay on 3g. But, if I change to wifi then switch back 3g doesn't return probably 90% of the time. Disabling and re-enabling data doesn't help either.

I don't really look at the data notification in the status bar but there have been instances where I have noticed that reads 1x. Mine seems to switch and like the OP said I am in all the same areas prior to the 6.1 update. I am using the same radio and PRL list as prior to the 6.1 update. I also have my wife turned off and never really turn it on. So this leads me to think that 1 either in some cases there is a problem with the data maintaining its 3G connection or 3G was busted prior to 6.1 and is now reading accurately...though I do not think that is the case since my sister has the same phone and is running sense and she is not losing 3G
Just out of curiosity, could this explain my poor batter life, I am only getting maybe 5hrs and that is with little to no use.
I had the same problem going to the Nov2 build of the blackmod, 3G dead, nothing worked to fix it short of flashing over to a stock build and do the re-provisioning via the #*# code. After that I totally wiped the phone and installed the new CM6.1 build and all is well.

Yeah, I went back to stock and it was normal for me. The last rom I did was the blackmod so it might be something there.

Cyanogen 6.1 no 3G, After Using Wireless
I also noticed no 3G on 6.1. If I used wireless (802.11 to router), the 3G connection would be dropped, as expected and desired. Upon turning off wireless, the 3G connection would not be reconnected. This was not a problem with ADW not updating. All network apps reported no connection. After a reboot, the 3G connection was restored, until wireless was enabled.
I'm unable to get a data connection with any 2.2 Rom no matter what I try. I have this problem not only with CM 6 and 6.1 but also with AOSP which till the problem started I'd been running everyday since I rooted my phone in September.
Been running Liquid for about four days and haven't had any problems.

And I thought I was going crazy! The last week I have been having TERRIBLE luck with my 3G connection with the latest builds, Tried the newest RC,,,,Themed froyos, AOSP, ETC, and kept having issues so finally said screw it and I'm back to 2.1 for a while, Atleast for a week or so till some more bugs are worked out! Anyone know any reason why this all of a sudden popped up after three months of builds???

Wifi issue

Sorry if this has already been covered in another forum.
My wifi on the samsung mesmerize is not working properly, 3G works just fine. I try and go online from my wifi connection it says server problem, if I go to my wifi settings it says it's connected. Help would be much appreciated, I have a very fast internet and would like to take advantage of it, especially considering my psu just blew on the pc! I have pulled 10 mbs on this phone using wifi before. Haven't installed a new app that would prevent anything with the wifi that I'm aware of, just wiped my phone the other day, saturday actually. Again any help would be great.

Yea if that don't fix it try pulling the battery.
Although since the phone is telling you i'ts connected I'm now thinking this is probably app related...(which a reinstall or reflash may correct)
I also have wifi issues with my fascinate, running froyo. I turn wifi on, and it works until the phone sleeps. Then at some point (seem to be a different amount of time each time) I lose my connection to the net. It still says the wifi is connected (wifi symbol at the top). But if I attempt to use google talk, or pull up a web page I do not have access to the internet. If i turn wifi off, and then right back on, all is well (until the next time it sleeps).
There is an app called wifi keep alive. If i check all the options on that app it helps. I see the issue far less often, but it still happens, and using this app my battery life suffers a little.

[Q] Best Modem for Infuse?

Hey guys this is just a quick opinion question. Which modem for the Infuse do you guys like best? I'm having trouble picking the right one, so maybe you guys could help.
If you search the modem forum you'll see that the "best" modem is different for everyone, depending on your phone, your area, etc. Best thing to do is flash em, try em for a few days and see which one works for u. I actually have 6 different modems saved to my phone and flash a different one if I'm not getting great reception with the current one. Hope that helps!
KI3 I feel is best on my phone
The right Modem
thanks guys I have been having the same issue. I have downloaded all of them now on my phone so I think I will just continue to try different ones until one is the best. Question??? Wouldn't the latest version be the best? also, does installing and uninstalling "flashing" these phones cause damage to the drive?
thanks

Not necessarily. I got the 4 hours clock moving ahead bug in all KH and KJ2 onwards. Setting time manually is an option, but I prefer auto update of time. KI3 gave me proper balance between connectivity, speeds and battery usage.
Flashed the doctorz rom., I believe its ucki3, pulled 10.5 down... best yet out of all other modems (on different roms)

I would also like to know, does it affect wifi?
I am having 2 separate wifi problems on CM7 UCKJ4
1. At school, it works sometimes (maybe less than half the time), the rest of the time the wifi icon in the status bar is greyed out and doesnt work,
2. At home, it will not connect to wifi at all. When I go to wifi settings, it says "scanning.... connecting... disconnected" and repeats.
I dont about flashing my.modem roms.anymore. The last one i did.screwed up the time and i couldnt send out text messages. So far i really dont see much of a difference in connection speeds. I still think the newest modem flash for your os should be the best but i am still a noob at android system.

KJ2 gave me the best data speeds but MMS has the character sending limit and constantly switched between 3G and H+
I'm running Infused v2.2.3 and have been on KJ4 for several days now. I don't know if it's related but my battery life has greatly improved. Took auto time update off and don't mind the 160 character text issue if I've gained battery life.

I am also having problems with the wifi. The only way I get a good reception to it is if I have phone right next to the router. There has been many forums on here about the wifi...its def a hardware issue with the phone. At this time I dont think anyone has found a fix for it yet. The talk about updating your router is not true.

USB tether 4g never works correctly? AOSP

I've tried every AOSP Rom/Kernel variations and I can't get anything to stay USB 4g tethered for more then 5 minutes. Tshed was flying with stock CM7 USB tether and then all of the sudden doesn't work. I tried all AOSP Roms. And wired-tether 1.4 is what I use. Please help me out. I have this phone for another year and that's all I'm missing. Please help. A trick, known set up, etc maybe. Anything not to have to reset the app every 3-5 minutes or so. I can't believe I haven't seen this brought up lately? Is it only me?

Yeah u have to install software on every PC u wanna use and that kinda sucks but I still get the frequent resets and they're connection is pretty slow. I have to reset pdanet, wired-tether 1.4, etc. Every few minutes. I used watershed 1.2 cm7 stock USB tether and it worked beautifully for about a day and then nothing. So I flashed imo's kernel and stock tether doesn't work at all but I have to reset wired-tether 1.4 every 3-5 minutes or so.

I don't use USB tethering often, but when I do, the built in version always works perfectly. Tried it on OMFGB, liquid AOSP, and workshed CM7. An older version of Imo's kernel (version 4 I think) supports USB tethering.

I use easy tether and have no issues. For wifi tether I use opengarden (faster than USB tether) don't have issues with either.
And its only when I try to use 4G. 3G will stay tethered all day long if i let it but its just way to slow. I usually get 15-20 Mbps down with USB tether 4g. Thats fast as hell. I wish I had a little Porto WiFi adapter for my work PC's. Cuz yeah when I wifi tether my AOKP TouchPad I dont have this problem.
There may be something wrong specifically with his ROM. I have USB Tethering working fine on my Sense-based ROM, but I tried his and it would work for 15 seconds and stop working, then never reconnect. I tried having something persistently connected to internet on my phone but that didn't help either.
I use the ClockworkMod Tether. Works on every ROM I've tried.
I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to resort to sense but I might have
to. I need this to just work. No installer PC ware

Ive tried my Phenom2 x6 and 2 Diff. Core 2 Duo's (that's just my House).
A few Newer laptops. Wifi tether worked no problem, just alot slower then straight USB (when it works).
There were a few at work I tried and No good either.
Back when I first started bringing up this issue (Sept.) I was told It was a known 4g issue (By a great Dev who has since moved to the Razor, hint hint) and that's why there is no problem with 3 g tethering at all. Just wondering If someone had a set up that completely works with out having to reset every 5 Min or so. I think I had good Luck with ThunderShed 1.3 this weekend. I fell asleep FTPing some stuff from my friend (good size) and It was finished when I woke up. That's a good sign so far. I just need one person to see this thread that has the perfect setup for 4G USB Tethering, 24/7 if need be. It would be great to know.

I always just used the built in wired tether with cm7. I had an issue once where it would drop in and out, but after doing a total reset and reloading cm7 once again, it was fine. I also don't use the DNS with the phone. I switch my DNS on my PC to be layer3 DNS (4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.6). DNS is allegedly one of the ways they can track what device the transfer is coming from.

Might also try disabling IPv6 and anything else not needed on the connection as it won't actually tether through it anyways. It could be causing a conflict somehow

So you are running which cm7. I am now running TShed 1.3 and stock tether was great for about 20 minutes. Then just stopped. So turned off tether reset mobile data and 3g 4g. Nothing. Not even wired 1.4 works. Rebooted a few times, I've been at this for bout an hour now and still nothing. Not even wired 1.4. So I switched from auto to 4.2.2.1-4.2.2.6 DNS. Thanks for that bit of info. Now do I have to do that every time? Anyway I'm frigging stuck here and I hear all these people's are working fine.

Not sure why it keeps changing your connection number. It's never done that to me unless I've flashed a new ROM or something when I've used it on windows 7. Turning off and turning back on your wifi device might also do it (the one attached to your PC).

tethering on fp5?

Has anyone gotten wifi tether to work on fp5? On 3.1 pre 12 (the one that worked perfectly before) my computer can see the network but it says limited access when I try to use it. On the latest one in the play store my computer can't even see the network and on the phone it says "tethering started with issues" in a toast notification.
So far I haven't had any problems with FoxFi. Computer picks it up and connects automatically.
Tweaked out on Circuitry
Had a hot boot when I turned it off but it worked fine
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
So far I found that tethering is nearly worthless on FP5. FoxFi won't allow me to connect the computer. Wifi tether will hot reboot when stopping sometimes. It will also actually spit errors and basically bork the wifi driver when restarting-- reboot required to fix it. Additionally, when it does "work", data stops periodically (likely sleep state issue-- which is probably a kernel issue) and only resumes when the turn the screen on. I thought about trying to find an app that prevents the phone from sleeping. This happens on the beta2-2 as well as pre12.
My nerd-rage got the best of me and I loaded up Froyo. No problems there. I have a CWM of Gummycharged Froyo and Tweaked3.0 and Tweaked 2.0, so far no issues restoring.
Tweaked 2.0 gave me the same issues as Tweaked 3.0.
I am using FP5 radios on Froyo with no tether issues.
This is absolutely not knocking on how great Tweaked is, it's just that something is preventing proper wifi tether.
Do you have disable wakelock unchecked?

I installed and tried out FoxFi. It works and it shuts down ok. The weird thing is I now have the native mobile hotspot icon in my status bar and in the notification pulldown. If I tap it in pulldown it takes me to Mobile Hotspot settings and there it shows itself to be shut off. Is there a process still turned on that I don't know about? I turned off FoxFi in Task Manager and tried to find Mobile Hotspot in Running Processes and Titanium. I found nothing by that name. Maybe there's another name for it.
I'm about to try rebooting the phone but I was hoping to find a way to shut this off without it.
Update: Rebooting does shut it off. Is there something I could freeze in Titanium to keep this from happening again?
Update 2: Looking through Titanium there are 2 Wi-Fi Access Points. One is labeled 101 and the other is XML. Might one or both of these be the culprit? Can I freeze one or both of them?
Ok Titanium won't freeze either of them.
Update 3: I think I know what I did wrong. I think I switched the computer to another connection without turning off FoxFi first. So it appears to work good for me. I don't think FP5 causes the issue we're talking about here.
I've used PDANet for a wired connection too. It works great. The problem there is they won't let you use it for secure sights without paying for it. They want $15.95. I'm not willing to pay that much for it.

It sounds to me like you are trying to mix and match kernels and roms. If you want your phone to work right you need to be on FP5 straight across the board. FP5 stock absolutely smokes everything that came before. Even FP1 PB&J on Ext4 is a dog compared to it. Then you run Tweaked 3.0 on top of that and you have a smooth, problem free phone. At least I do.

Disable wakelock seems to keep the display on, and I don't want to burn out the screen. That does keep the connection mostly stable, but I still have issues with hot reboots and not being able to start and stop the and restart the service properly.
In Froyo (and EP4D, I believe) wakelock can be disabled and tether works flawlessly.
Another issue I noticed is that on FP1 and FP5, uploads on the phone work fine, but uploads over tether will pretty much kill the connection until enough time is given without uploading data.

I noticed that mobile hotspot icon as well with FoxFi, but I never could get data through, even though I was connected to WiFi. I haven't had issues with PDANet, but yeah it costs money, and it is lame to be wired.
My issue with the Mobile Hotspot icon was that it stayed on after I'd shut off FoxFi. It didn't stay on as long as I shut down Foxfi before I switched my computer to another connection. The first time I switched it then shut down FoxFi after and the icon got stuck on. It went away with a reboot. FoxFi worked great for me. I even got 13MBps download speeds through it according to Speakeasy.
Actually I don't think of a wired connection as lame at all. If there's a choice between wired and wireless I'll choose a wire every time. It's secure. I almost lost my bank numbers to a thieving internet asshole once and now I'm very careful.

I've used PDANet for a wired connection too. It works great. The problem there is they won't let you use it for secure sights without paying for it. They want $15.95. I'm not willing to pay that much for it.

It sounds to me like you are trying to mix and match kernels and roms. If you want your phone to work right you need to be on FP5 straight across the board. FP5 stock absolutely smokes everything that came before. Even FP1 PB&J on Ext4 is a dog compared to it. Then you run Tweaked 3.0 on top of that and you have a smooth, problem free phone. At least I do.

I've tried the most recent two PBJ kernel with Tweaked 2.0 and the stock FP5 kernel with Tweaked 3.0. Same thing. As I recall, Imoseyon 4.0 kernel works on EP4D with tether just fine. I've had better luck with Froyo though, but that is anecdotal evidence. I've noticed improvements with each newer baseband version no matter what ROM/kernel I'm on. I am nearly certain that baseband is free of dependencies of ROM/kernel.

Wireless is the way to go for me, then I can place the phone for optimal reception. With access control and WPA2 of Wifi tether, I don't see how anyone would be able to join your network. If you connect to some random wifi network, then you'll want to be cautious that someone isn't arp spoofing or packet sniffing.
I haven't seen an app that beats wifi tether, the customization is much better than anything else I've tried. I know there is a problem with FP5 base or the FP5 kernel with wifi tether. I just don't have the knowledge to troubleshoot it.
Thanks for the heads up on this. Runs perfect on my stock ROM.
