no free wifi tether on gingerbread :(

so i did the ota update to gingerbread and now my barnacle wifi tether doesnt work. when i try to run the app it shows an error saying the DCHP port is already in use and in the notification tray the little white tethering icon pops up. so it seems to me that the phone tries to launch the built-in tethering app that you have to pay verizon for. i tried using app quarantine but that doesnt even recognize the app/setting so idk how to turn it off.
if i switch to a custom rom would that eliminate that stock app and the issue?

So - you had Barnacle working on your D2G?? My computer would connect, but would not 'see' any internet connection. Also barnacle would not list any clients when my computer was connected. When I went to uninstall, I noticed that the app was for EVO... I never tried/knew the app existed before the OTA update to GB. I have also noticed that half the reviews say 'does not work on D2G' so I'm wondering what the difference is between this phone and every other Android phone on earth and if anyone is working on a fix??

yea i had used it for quite some time, with ipods and computers. it was a life saver on road trips. i dont remember when i downloaded it but i never noticed anyone saying it didnt work or that it was just for the evo. and i got mine straight from the market too.
but yea this ota update screwed it up with the built-in app/settings. i dont know any way to fix it so i posted this in hopes that someone can program a workaround or something. im also gonna check out other roms. the pros of gb outweigh this problem so i dont wanna switch back to froyo

ok so i tried the Venus rom and that didnt work either. it has the same stupid vzw tether app that gets in the way. to me it looks like any GB based rom is outta the question, unless they found a way to remove that app. im back on the stock froyo (had some stupid issues with SBF that wasted a lot of time) i guess ill live with bad battery life and wait to update to GB when this gets fixed

There is no “stupid Verizon app” anywhere. There's the baseband (radio firmware) which does that.

i just call it that cuz its frustrating. and are you saying there is no way to get rid of this or work around it??

There were threads on how to alter baseband settings to make tethering work; I can't really find one right now, but I'm sure I saw them either in this forum section, or in droidforums' D2G section.

So it's a radio firmware that tells the app to take control? hmm. I'll look around for something as well for the D2G. I'll post any results. But yes as for now i downgraded to 2.2 again. need my tethering. #against the system.

Look into Open Garden. It is another tethering app (free in market)

Does it work on ginger bread thou?

[Q] Tethering issues Xoom to HTC Thunderbolt

Need some help.* I have a 4G Xoom with a 1GB data plan, so when I am away from the house, I tether it to myHTC Thundernbolt, which I have an unlimited tethering plan for.*
The problem I am having is this.* The devices stay connected just fine, but data thruput is spotty.* Little things, like emails, GTalk, etc gothrough just fine.* However things like web surfing hang.* I will gettwoor three pagesok, but then I go to a page and it hangs while loading the page between 1/3 and 1/2the way through the page.
Here is the info.*
Xoom is rooted, but stock.* Issue is pre and post root, pre and post 4G upgrade, and a couple of factory resets.* Pre and post update to 3.2.2 build HLK75. Connects fine on my network at home, and others like at resturaunts.* I've forgotten the network, etc... I have tried multiple browsers too. Happens with stock browser, Dolphin HD, Dolphin for Pad, and Opera. (I hate Opera) No other data issues on the Xoom. WiFi at home is smooth as butter, so is the 4G when I do turn it on.
The Thunderbolt.* Stock and unrooted.* Happens pre and post update to 2.3.4.* I have done factory reset, set the hotspot back to standar, changed channels, security, etc....* Also, the hotspot is set to always be on, not to time out. No data issues on the phone.
It is annoying to constantly not be able to use the net when aeay from the house. Help, please. Just let me know if you need more info. One last thing. It doesn't matter where I try it at. Hotspot at home (testing it) at work, or out other places. Also, I have tethered my laptop to the phone with no problems multiple times.
Thanks....

Sorry for the formatting and astriks, don't know how that happened.

what app are you using to tether have you tried any others like easy tether?

I am using the stock mobile hotspot app on the Thunderbolt. I have the unlimited tethering feature. Haven't tried another app, since I am paying to have the ability

After several days of testing, etc.... I think I have figured it out. Happens when the screen on the Thunderbolt times out. At that point, the hot spot stops responding. I checked and have it set for Always On, and tested the other two time frames there. Nothing changed. Guess I should call tech and try a CLNR.

I use Barnacle with my TB to tether both my Xoom and Nook Color with no problems. Have used Wireless Tether but prefer Barnacle for no particular reason.

Your the second to say something about a different app. I looked on the market, and all require root access. Haven't rooted yet.
Interesting development, after doing everything I could think of, I turned off the security as a last ditch effort. Goes against everything security wise, but..... It seems to make the difference.still a little latency, but it works.

You don't have to root your Xoom, you run the wifi tethering program on your Thunderbolt which does have to be rooted.

Sorry, I meant the Thunderbolt being rooted. The Xoom is, my Thunderbolt isn't. If I can't get this resolved any other way, I will root it. Going to call tomorrow and see if I can get it replaced and try a different unit first.

Now realize that I really should have posted this up in the HTC Thunderbolt area. It's not a Xoom issue, but a Thunderbolt issue.
MOD's, if I can request, can this thread be moved like that? Thanks...

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.

This could be big help. Im at work now but when I get home I will check into this more. Thanks so much. I can never get the built in USB tether to work from CM7. TShed's built in CM7 worked for a while then just cut out. The little name your connection from Win7 popped up but had no Internet at all. May be something to this. Thank you.

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.

If you set the DNS on your PC, it should stay that way. You can always verify if you need to. But yeah, I used cm7 and the built in tether just fine.

So every time my USB connection starts it gives me a new Connection(I'm up to like number 54. So I have to go in and set the DNS and disable ipv6 every time? How do I get my USB tether settings to stick on my Win7 Ultimate x64 every time I start my tether instead of it thinking its a brand new connection every time? I got ThunderShed 1.3(stock kernel) installed now and the stock tether isn't working but the wired-tether 1.4 is working great after a couple resets. It must have stuck for a few hours until I shut it off. That's great considering how bad of a time Ive been having.

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?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

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.
@stueycaster
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 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.

I want my HotSpot to STOP turning off

Is there anyway to stop the hotspot from turning off automatically? When I lose data for any reason with the hotspot on, I get this message: "unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot".
I have a rooted S6 edge running Renegade ROM 6.0.1 with Xposed framework installed. I searched Xposed for a module but can't find one. I also searched Google and XDA but cannot find an answer.
In general I really find it annoying when the messages pop up at all when turning on or off the hotspot, wifi, etc... I would much prefer to change the settings myself without any intervention by the phone. The main problem I have is when using my phone as a hotspot in my car to play something on my in-dash Android car stereo and I get a phone call or a hit a data deadspot, the hotspot will turn off. I really don't like having to turn it back on after every interruption.
Please let me know if any of you have a solution for this.
Thanks!!!

For some reason, pardon me I'm buzzed. I think it has to do with the s6 not having 2 radios or something. My old HTC m7 handled data and phone and whatnot flawlessly. It had 2 radios. I dunno I'm buzzed I could be wrong
Edit: I just remember being able to tether my hotspot and still take phone calls no issue on my m7. Now it's me getting mad at my girlfriend for calling every 5 seconds when I'm trying to download something.
Edit 2: terrible design idea. Sacrifice the functionality of 2 radios for slim design.. I want data and phone at the same time.
Edit 3: Even now I still talk to someone, "hold on let me look it up....
.
Oh wait, that was my old phone."
OK now I'm angry

I know what you're referring to but this is a little different issue. I know that back on my Galaxy S4 I could have data going at the same time as phone calls, but beginning with the Galaxy S5 they changed it (I believe I read somewhere it had to do with Sprint Spark). However, on the S5 I could still have my hotspot on while taking/making a phone call and the hotspot would remain on just without actual internet data until my phone call was over then data through the internet would resume.
BUT on my S6 Edge the phone actually turns the hotspot off on any phone activity or even losing data for a moment (like driving though a dead zone). I would like my hotspot to remain on whether or not my internet data is happening. It's possible that back on my S5 it was modded as part of a custom ROM but at least it behaved the way I prefer.
I have been looking at both Tasker and Xposed but so far no luck in preventing the hotspot from being turned off.

I hate not being able to change a setting that automatically disables the hotspot when no network is detected. Almost makes it feel like an ifone.
Well maybe not that bad. :laugh:
I've been digging around for a 3rd party app that might alleviate the issue, but wifi apps (or at least working ones, ..I miss the old wifi tether 3.3-beta2) seem few and far between these days. Has anyone had any success with other apps or is it just something we'll have to suffer through for the foreseeable future?

I have a solution that i used that is actually how i got hotspot to work on stock. If you need to know PM me and i will explain. Idk how it came to stop that message but it does allow me to keep it from turning off the hotspot. If it has been 10m though it may do it but that is a good bit of time to get back out of a deadzone too.

Would you mind sharing with the crowd? I've been looking around for this with no luck. I've got a feeling that I could possibly add a dummy entry to the telephony.db for some kind of loopback but I don't have any idea where to start.
Thanks

I never tried getting it to work on stock, nor have I seen evidence that it could. For me, Rooting is usually step #1 in getting a phone anyhow. The samsung app Good Lock allows toggle control due to being a systemui update. Credit for that discovery goes to pickles.

Thabks for the credit and he is right for this. They at least fixed some bugs that I had been experiencing with it then like toggles changing themselves. Stopped completely with the latest update.
