Hi, 1st time posting a question, I wasn't able to figure out a solution with pre-existing threads.
Prior to the ICS ota update I was able to wifi tether my wifi only Xoom to my rooted Tmo HTC G2 by using the Wireless Tether app, with OUT needing to use a BT connection on Wireless Tether. The xoom simply recognized my G2 and another WiFi signal.
Now, I am not. A few things have changed; I now have a rooted LG Tmo G2X, and also have the ICS ota update on my WiFi only xoom.
Wireless tether, wifi tether and similar apps all function properly on my G2X and my 2 laptops recognize and connect to the signal, but my Xoom does not even see the G2X at all. I have also attempted to use the apps in BT mode, and was able to pair but not connect the 2 devices.
I wondered if it was the Android ad hoc issue, but that didnt make sense, as it did not inhibit this function in the earlier version of my Xoom.
I have not yet rooted my Xoom.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I've S-OFF'ed my Sensation XE and have installed ICS as per thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538032
So this is the official ROM I've installed:
OTA_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105-1.73.401.4_P_release_246589q3t6rh79ci68p68k.zip
All flashed OK, but my WiFi is very unreliable.... 3G isn't that reliable either.. seem to have to reboot the phone to get it working every day or so.
I have tried resetting the phone, but still the same.. thinkiing about going back to Gingerbread...
Anyone else having similar issues?
Thanks
I'm not using the official ROM but ARHD which is based on stock.
I haven't had problems with 3G and WiFi (apart from it turning on randomly).
Does your WiFi and 3G turn off and not reconnect?
ive been having mobile data connection problems with pretty much every ics rom ive tried. its confused/frustrated me as no one will will address the issue or offer any possible solutions. only fix ive found is going to phone info and turning radio off then on, also try resetting apns to default.
@cory0821 : Exactly the same issue.. turning data on and off (either wifi radio or enable/disable mobile data) seems to 'usually' fix the issue, other times it just doesn't work until I reboot.
The other issue I have is that if I leave the WiFi on when it's 'sleeping' - it kills that battery. i.e. WiFi consume 30-40% of battery within 10 hrs.
And if I go into the advanced setting to turn off WiFi when sleeping - it makes the above data issue much worse.
I am very happy with ICS on the Sensation XE in terms of smoothness and functionality, apart from I no longer have working data... I think my next question is how to I get back to Gingerbread at it's not really workable at the moment as a Smartphone.
I'm glad it's not just me as HTC might fix it, but surprised that more people are not having the same issue.
WiFi doesn't turn off... it connects to my home WiFi without any issue (and at work), but even though it's connected, none of the apps seem to be able to send or receive data.
I had the same problem with Wi-Fi after flashing ICS. After asking many times in several threads I finally learned that if you are with T-Mobile ICS will not support Wi-Fi. I don't know the technical details, but I was told T-Mobile had to release an official "T-Mobile" ICS before Wi-Fi would work correctly. No one seems to know when the official version will be released.
I am running coredroid v5 ICS and wifi and wifi calling are now working with tmobile. There are some times that wifi calling is not working 100%, but the wifi network for market, e-mails etc. is working great.
When I leave a wifi network (physically), instead of the phone recognizing that it's no longer got a wifi connection and flipping to LTE, it thinks it's still on a wifi network.
The only way for me to get my connection back is to temporarily toggle wifi off. Both Wifi and LTE seem to work fine otherwise.
Anyone else experience this?
Very common bug. Hoping an ota comes out soon.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Appologies, my searches didn't turn anything up somehow. Need to take Google 101 again, I suppose.
Good to know I'm not alone with this bug.
I just rooted my HTC Sensation 4g on Virtuous Inquisition and I am trying to find a wifi tether app that works, any suggestions?
Thanks
I used to use Wireless Tether I think V.2.0.7 or somewhere around there, try searching for an APK for that.
Hope this helps
Cheers
I use and would highly recommend this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
My laptop shows limited connection - This is weird, I rooted my sensation so I could use my phone as a wifi hotspot with my laptop, but none of the rooted apps work.
So I got this beautiful Verizon GS3 Here. Rooted of course. I can open OpenGarden Wifi Tether but after I slick start, App crashes. I also tried it on a Sprint GS4, Same thing at the same place. Anyone else noticed this?
