Hello. I am really new to all this and I have a problem that I can't seem to find similar posts explaining or having the same issue. I have the supercm7 v1 rom on my infuse4g and the mobile hotspots won't work. A user can connect to it and we even saw that he could get an IP address and DNS was working. But no data, cannot load any webpages or anything. I looked at the apn settings and played around with them with different suggestions with no luck. Any ideas? Thank you

Not sure if i'm any help at all, but every time ive used wifi tethering, i need to load something on my phone after enabling tethering in order for the inernet to work on the computer. it never seems to work correctly until i use data on the phone after turning it on and connecting.
Freeze tether app in titbu. Done.

So I installed open garden tether and it works fine that way. Except for the fact that my wife's infuse stock doesn't see the ssid from a foot away.??? My computers and other friends cell's can connect, weird...

ROOT as you said that you had done. You can root stock. Then freeze or uninstall tethering manager in titanium backup. Done. Make sure you have a visible SSID

Hi. I'm having trouble using Wi-Fi Tether.
Whenever I'm tethering I experience frequent disconnects and reconnects on my desktop (running Windows 7 Ultimate). I can see it most clearly when I'm torrenting a file. Every minute or so the connection just drops, and 30 seconds or more later starts up again. It even affects my browsing. When the connection drops no sites will load.
I've tried three different apps: Barnacle, OpenGarden, and the WiFi Tether 3.0 Pre 12 app.
Currently I'm on Tweakstock 1.1 ROM with stock kernel. I was previously on PBJ kernel and Infinity ROM, and then flashed to Eclipse 1.2 ROM, and with both ROMs I had the same issue. In fact with the Infinity and Eclipse ROMs I tried a whole bunch of Wi Fi Tether versions but nothing fixed the problem.
With WiFi Tether, I unchecked the "disable wakelock" section, set the device profile to Samsung Captive, and tried with the softap option both checked and unchecked. Still no cigar.
I had this same problem when I used USB tethering with PDAnet, and later Easytether. I'm at a loss for what to do.
Any suggestions?
Why disable wakelock? Also, it should be Fascinate, not Captivate.

Sorry, I meant Fascinate. I've actually tried both and it had no effect. I don't disable wakelock. I uncheck the box that says "disable wakelock", so that wakelocks are enabled. Either way I've tried it both with the box checked and unchecked, and neither situation worked.
Are you sure it's the app dropping? It could be the typical data drop.

For what it's worth, i occasionally have to toggle airplane mode and restart the app. Could be a similar issue. Tethering is hit and miss, mostly hit tho.

It doesn't happen if I do stuff on the phone itself, like run ttorrent or something.

Last night I set the app to run ttorrent (at very limited speeds) and when I woke up it had already disconnected completely, with hardly any data transferred. The thing is normally after it disconnects after a minute of running it will eventually reconnect after a minute. It keeps doing it over and over.
Is it only happening when you're doing torrents? What about just regular web browsing?

Actually I think I've FINALLY got it working. Holy mother of cows!!! I did a cleanup of my computer and apparently I had some weird programs like "Sendori" and "Tages" or whatever. I also uninstalled any programs I don't use anymore and restarted my comp.
First I tried PDAnet (actually uninstalled Easytether first, which had also failed to work properly beforehand), and suddenly USB tether was working. That had me running around my room in celebration. Then I tried Wi-Fi tether, and at first it worked, but then it suddenly disconnected and said "limited access" blah blah. So I restarted my phone and comp and tried again, and it worked!!!
Holy cow I hope it lasts. I'm on tweakstock right now but I'm contemplating if it's worth tempting fate to flash a new ROM. Tweakstock is just too slow for me. My phone worked infinitely better with Infinity ROM and Eclipse.
Sigh... well PDAnet works, but WiFi Tether still has issues. The disconnect/reconnect happens much more quickly, but ultimately it still prevents me from using wireless tether properly.
When I conduct a test on Pingtest.net while using PDAnet to connect my desktop, my overall grade is a B, but with WiFi tether it's a C+ or D, with the test unable to complete the packet loss test.
Could someone here please attempt to run a test on pingtest.net (it's an affiliate of speedtest.net) while on wifi tether and report their results?
Man, I don't know how to put this other than it sounds like you are doing something wrong. Pre 12 and 3.1beta7 stay connected and reconnect after manual disconnect perfectly.
Softap, fascinate must be used.
You should back up and try a new flash. I suggest stock deodexed and debloated ep4d with imo 4 kernel. Also, ping times on phone are identical when tethered or not. If you wanna know ping times, use an app like net ping or ping using terminal emulator. Whwn you ping, ping the address with www. I strongly suggest using www.intel.com or www.google.com
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Pingtest.net has a "packet loss" test, which is relevant to the issue of a connection dropping. So a normal connection should get an A or B overall, with 0% packet loss.
Anyways I'll try the kernel and ROM combination you suggested.
Try using 3.1 beta 6. Haven't had any problems with this version

I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to the torrenting specifically. All i know is i wouldn't want to be sharing bandwidth with someone who was downloading 2 Blu-Ray movies from 5 people and uploading them to 8. It just screams irresponsible network use to me.

I torrent all the time... Directly on my phone, not through tether.

Does tethering work on the ics-Leak?
I've tried both the usb tether and the wife tether (I've disabled the entitlements check) but none work. On both tether, I got connected, got an ip address but traffic are block. When I do a trace route, only the first hop replies.
Any ideas?

Hmm. Not sure why it doesn't work for you.
I posted a how to in the forum. Run that over line for line, and see if it helps.

As I've said in the OP, I've disabled entitlements check and because I got an ip address, it shows that my notebook was connected to my phone.
I could only think two possibility :
- the phone for some reason is not forwarding traffic
Or
- my operator somehow knows about my tethering and refuse it. This one is unlikely, because my wife uses evo3d on the same operator and tethering works.

i am having the same problem. it shows im connected but the i get "data link lost errot"
Works for me after changing the entitlement check
Ok i have finally got my Wi-Fi Hotspot working. i disabled the entitlement check but that alone did do it for me.
Using SQLite
open settings storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings
settings.db
settings
on my phone lines 117 and 118 are dun_apn_changeable and dun_enable
Change both of their values to 1
I dont know if it will work for others but it worked for me. (im on straight talk)
I tried everything posted here with no luck. Finally just installed foxfi. Works like a charm.

Has anyone gotten FoxFi to work with Bluetooth tethering?
I know that WiFi tethering is faster, etc., but I'm interested in Bluetooth's battery life advantage.
Thanks

What's the problem with teathring? I used this in GB and almost all ICS Rom's without issues.
Does this issues related to ATT AT2?

Setting the Network prefix length from 24 to 32 was a fix I recall using for a similar issue; worth a try. the issue I was having was not having the "Save" button available to press to commit the settings. Once I changed the prefix length that button was no longer grayed out.
thanks for the info didint work tho. A for effort

Ive been using wifi tether with no problems until last night. When i turn it on my other devices wont see it now. Whats wrong?! Thx for any help
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
A little more info wouldnt hurt. Are you stock or running a custom ROM? Did you change anything at all between working/not working. Have you tried rebooting the phone and other devices? You can also try changing settings such as SSID or encryption.
I restarted all devices including my phone. Running synergy 1.7. Also hit refresh on other devices when searching for wifi but no bueno. Didnt change anything at all just tried to use it lately and nothing is finding it

Make sure your device profile is set to Generic ICS/JB(wlan0). I'm pretty sure that is the one that eschelon recommended. Also sometimes you do have to start the service, stop it, start it again. Mine acts up like that every now and then.
I have this on my Photon Q, and for some reason, some days it works fine, and stays connected, and other days my computer will connect to the wifi tethering of my phone, then after about 1 min it will disconnect. Its not my computer, it is the phone, the phone stops broadcasting with the tethering app.
Does anyonw know a fix for this? Yesterday i stayed connected without issue, but the day before, I fought with it all day long trying to keep it connected. I either have to restart wifi tether, or sometimes I actually have to restart the phone.
I know this i an issue with the phone, but I wonder if some setting in my computer is making the phone disconnect?
Also, if anyone has any better tethering apps, please let me know.
Have you tried an app like "KeepConnOn"?
No I will check into that thank you
I use trev e mod. So far works flawless.

I did not come up with mod. So I'm not taking credit for it. All I know is that it's somewhere on xda. A buddy of mine sent me the apks. Sprint has blocked almost all the tethering apps from market.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
ah yeah, i've seen treve around before. he created some apps to identify and disable logging added in by the carriers, etc. thanks for the tip, PdaNet works well for usb tethering, but it's nice to have a wifi option too.
Here is the link to the trev mod in xda--http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
Only thing though this is the same as wifi tether for root users and i downloaded mine from the play store. The one above i believe you have to install busybox and the one from the market you don't.

I dowloaded the app from the link above. Tried changing a few setting but still no luck. Turn on the wifi tether, laptops sees hotspot, connects, but when i try to browse my carrier pops up requesting me to pay. How do i bypass this? My Photon Q is unlocked and rooted.

In the settings did you change device profile to ics/jb generic wlan0. I don't really touch to much after that and it works fine for me. Who is your carrier?

CSPIRE. It's unlimited but not video streaming wich is kinda dumb that they changed it. Thanks I'm gonna give that a try when i get home. I'm hoping to learn more about kernels so I can stop CSPIRE from blocking me.
I have downloaded the trev e mod, and so far it is working great for me. Thanks for the info and the link!
my phone stopped broadcasting its wifi when I use wireless tether trev E mod lastnight for some reason. I habe reinstalled and changed settings around and everything. Anyone know a fix for this?

I use Barnacle for wifi tethering myself. Seems like sprint throttles the connection when the phone sleeps though, setting 'stay awake' under the development settings page might help.
