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)

I swore I wouldnt go to stock Froyo since using Phoenix, but that changed.
My friend updated to the official Froyo and after using it a couple of days he swore to me that the battery life was much greater then before. I had to try it.
I returned to stock with Odin and updated to Froyo. The battery lasts me much longer then it was with Phoenix. If I could get a rom like Phoenix to have battery life like Im getting with the official Froyo then I would be one happy camper.
Now onto my problem, since updating to Froyo Im not able to access all apps in the market. The one that I know for sure is not showing is Paypal. I ran into two others, but cant remember which ones off the top of my head. Can anyone tell me why all apps might not be showing and how I can correct this?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

You have a locked market with the offical ATT update just like normal on a stock rom. You will need to find a way to unlock the market to show all apps. thats about as much as I know as I cant bring my self to take a step backwords from Phoenix/ Super nova 2.2.1 to stock 2.2. Too many missing features
Try turning on airplane mode then turn on wifi to access the market.
Well that sucks about the locked market.
I tried going into airplane mode then wifi and that didnt work. What I don't understand is that I was able to get the apparently when I was on stock 2.1. I have it backed up with titanium backup. If I root should I be able to restore it?

If you are rooted, you can download Market Enabler http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/list and sideload it via Sideload Wonder Machine
Have you tried clearing data on the Market app? I've had to do that several times since the KB1 Update.

Not sure if this will help or not but I just read in another thread someone was having a similar problem. They found that being rooted shows more apps in the market than unrooted. There were several apps one user had on his rooted 2.1 that didn't show when he did the official update. After rooting they were there. You might just try rooting and see if your apps are available.
I just got my Nexus S this Sunday, and it worked fine for the first day. Second day came along, and it started acting up. When I tried downloading stuff from the Market, it would "start" the download, so when you checked on the Notification Bar, it had the Arrow pointing down, but no Data was being transferred. It just stalled there, without any progress being made. I've tried rebooting, and once that worked, but it never seemed to work again after that. It works flawlessly if I'm 3G, though.
Just yesterday I rooted for the first time, and got CM7, didn't like the Home Screen Replacement, and switched to NS Collab. I haven't really done any fiddling besides that. It was actually already acting up being I ever even thought of rooting.
I've tried the GTalk solutions, signing on and off: nothing.
Help?
Anyone?
I just got this phone, this shouldn't be happening now...

Do you think I should try installing anything on it?
Or is it a problem with my Network? I don't really have access to any other WiFi Connections right now, so I have no clue if the problem is with my WiFi.
Hmm, strange. I have never used 3G on my nexus...only wifi and never had a problem browsing, downloading or whatever.
I would say that your problem is with your wifi device.
I've tried opening Port 5228 on my Firewall, but still, nothing.
What pisses me off the most, is that, Samsung throws the blame at Google, Google doesn't know what to do about it, tells me to do random things, such as open Talk, instead of giving actual solutions. And the things they tell me to do don't work at all.
I can see why people prefer iOS over Android.
Simple: it just works! Android is flaky as heck.
Don't get me wrong, I really like my phone, but for it to not function properly within the first week of me using it is bull****. And then the company that's supposed to oversee this doesn't have a friggen clue about what to do. Incredible.
maybe you have a bugged phone...
one thing you should notice is that the wifi reception on this phone is weak, that´s a fact. But I manage to connect either open and wep/wpa wifi networks...
That's the thing though, WiFi works perfectly. I can connect and do anything on it, I'm even using the XDA apply over Wifi right now. The only thing I can't do is download anything from the market...

puuuutz, now I got it. hmm, on early days of nexus, I read a post that people coudn´t get in the market store or download. To fix, the suggestion was reinstall market, but don´t ask me how, cause I dont know, uahuahauh.
now, my nexus is stock, not rooted, and everything works fine. maybe if you try get back to stock, will work...
good luck
I've tried deleting all updates the Market installed on itself, getting it back to its stock version, nada.
Since yesterday, I've also reverted back to stock. The bootloader is still unlocked, though I might lock it up soon.
Much rather have a functioning phone, even if parts of it aren't perfect, than a pretty paperweight.
I'm almost giving up on trying to fix this. Google has no clue of what to do, Samsung much less. I guess I'll just stick with the apps I have, and wait until eventually Google fixes the issue.
I am running the latest MIUI with the InvisibleK kernel. I get the tether to start and allow access, I connect to it with my computer, but it always says limited access. It never actually connects. Is this a kernel issue, a ROM issue, or what?
Thanks in advance.
Not sure if this is still a requirements for wireless tether, but do you have the android.tether folder on your SD card with the proper file in it? Also try toggling your access control and allow your computer on the access control list. Those are the only things I can think of off the top of my head.
*It's IncREDible*
I have not changed anything from what the ROM installed. I downloaded the WiFi tether app from Google's code page.
I reverted back to my backup of SkyRaider4. The computer connects every time now with the WiFi Tether, but it now tells me there is no internet access... I am thoroughly confused.

I've been having issues running CM 7 with the built in tether. I finally got it to work for awhile when I downloaded an older version of wifi tether. It's still iffy, though.

I'm using version 2.0.7 and it's absolutely flawless. We just moved and haven't gotten internet set up yet and it's all I use, I've put a couple of gigs through it in a day without a single issue running my laptop and PS3. I was running SR4.0, now I'm on the gingerbread leak. No problem with either. Hope this helps.

I can't believe you haven't flashed a ROM in that long, or you flashed and went back. GB has a lot more to offer than froyo these days.

Actually I just reflashed Redemption 2.4 today, cause my phone was starting to strange stuff.
I've tried a number of ROM's but keep coming back to Redemption. But, once there's a really stable GB ROM where everything works I'll probably make the move.
Just wondering if some of the things I've been encountering are normal or if I maybe have a bad phone. When I have tried connecting my phone to my computer to move pictures or music, it takes forever or doesn't even finish transferring the content. It sometimes takes a little time to access pictures, probably normal. I haven't been getting any of the updates like some people here have been getting, I am still on UCKD5 and I haven't gotten the new market either. Also the one time that the DM server finally connected a while back and said there was an update it never downloaded the update. Also, it sometimes will randomly freeze or crash. Rarely though. Sorry, its my first Android phone and I just wanted to make sure that there aren't any issues with it.
Ok lets start with the transfer. How old is your computer? Also try a different usb port see if that helps. As for the updates try connecting to wifi and see if you can get them there. Also the updates aren't generally pushed you have to manually check. So if your not checking for them then that's why you aren't getting any. Have you rooted yet? If so are you running on a custom rom? We need to know everything bout your phone in order to help you. If your stock then that could be your crashing problems. I didn't stay stock at all. I noticed lag when working on a friends so I rooted mine right out of the box. Also restart your phone every now and again to clear out the memory. Don't get a task manager though.
Sorry about forgetting to give all that info. Computer is only a few months old. I built it around thanksgiving myself. Running Windows 7 64bit. I can try plugging it directly into a USB plug in the back instead of a front panel one. But I never had any problems syncing my ipod touch from a front panel plug... Phone is completely stock because I was waiting to see if gingerbread came out soon to try that before trying a custom rom. I do check for updates manually on our home wifi network too, and while "connecting to DM server" the little H+ icon usually comes on as well as the wifi. I haven't used any task manager other than the one Samsung built into the phone occasionally. Do you think rooting and flashing a custom rom would fix most of these things? Or is it mostly fine? Or should I hold out for 2.3?
All normal. This is Android, it's not so good out of the box.

I know that it seems like gingerbread is about to hit, but I would honestly suggest going ahead and trying out a couple of the custom roms. It honestly can't hurt and I think it will give you a new appreciation for your device. I've only used Bionix Infinity and now I'm on Infused 1.5.3, but they all breathe new life into the device. This is, as Mike said, an issue that all android devices tend to have. All of the tweaking and adjustments that the devs make tend to give you the feeling of owning a brand new device even if you've had your phone for awhile especially coming from stock.
Ok. So i have been searching around a bit and can not find another person (or thread at least) about this issue. I have a Inspire 4G from AT&T on straight talk's network. I am attempting to Wi-Fi tether after rooting (AAHK), however i always get the message from the phone stating that i need to dial *611 and talk to AT&T. Tried talking to them, but didn't get anywhere fast seeing as i have no account, nor account history with them. I have also attempted to use "Wi-Fi tether for root users" from the Play store, but it does not assign IP addresses to any device i connect to the network. The icon for that particular app stays yellow, but on the other phones that i have tested it on the icon turns green and everything works fine. But to be honest i would rather use the option in the settings menu if possible. Any thoughts anyone? Please dont hold the fact that im a noob against me, i got my training wheels in dev on PSP's and DS's, just starting to delve into the Android Dev world.
Never had a problem with it after I flashed to a sense free from like asopx works great actually and for Facebook and general surfing its surprisingly fast

It will root, unlock, install clockwork mod recovery, and superuser.
After that flash a rom. I will say I use the Rom called "Android Revolution HD 6.3.1" and can hotspot when ever I want, even without the AT&T account.

I am on st talk, and i have used wifi tether without any issues on ICS ROMs. Check your APN settings to make sure they are still valid. If not, try factory reset, and start over.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Try that link. You can try the beta or experimental ones if you like, but I had problems getting them to work. The version 2_0_7 works fine for me. If you aren't running a different rom and are just running the rooted version of the stock phone, the app that is already on the phone doesn't allow you to tether. It still forces you to go through AT&T. If you get away from the stock rooted rom, most of them have the ability to wifi tether built in. Or, you can download that program from the link above. It worked for me
Edit: Someone had a problem getting that link to work. Go to Google and search for android-wifi-tether, it should be the first like that comes up.
Go to the downloads tab at top of the page.
Go Custom
Tethering and hotspotting have not worked for me on ST without flashing a custom rom. All of the stock roms have blocked it as you have described. Don't have to be sense free though, just custom.
