I have been using my samsung conquer with stock rom rooted. I have been using mainly fox fi but also other tethering apps. I always got good 4g speed. I needed to replace the phone because of a broken charger port. When I did there was an update installed that would not root, I followed a guide on rootzwiki (unavailable atm) to flash and root a stock rom with the update already installed. Since then tethering does not work very well. Some sites load very slow some not at all. Google search works perfect but links do not.
How can I tell if this a hardware issue or something else? I have another phone that has the same update but it is OTA not built-in and tethering is fine.
Is there anything I can do to test what is happening? It feels like a firewall...
thanks

So months ago I upgraded my D2G to Honeycomb with the VZ update. Then I tried to root and get Wifi Tethering back. I found out I could not do that with the new update so I went back to Froyo. Ever since then I have been having to decline the updater twice a day. Annoying. Also there are a lot of quirks with the old Froyo too.
Has anyone figure out how to make the wifi tethering work with new update? Or is there a CM7 mod that works with wifi tethering?
Thanks
Could you explain how did you update to Honeycomb?
I just unrooted and took the VZ update.

You're not running Honeycomb.
Also, you just have to make sure that you're rooted, have updated your SU binary, and are using the latest version of Wifi Tether.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether is where you want to go to ensure you've got the newest version. That'll ensure that you can continue to tether.
I had to get rid of Honeycomb to get my rooted tether to work. VZ put something in the update code to make harder to tether a rooted phone. So are you saying that someone has found a way around it now?
You never had Honeycomb. Android 3.x "Honeycomb" is a tablet-only OS. The last several updates from Motorola for the D2G (firmware versions 4.5.60x through 4.5.629) have all been based on Android 2.3 "Gingerbread."
I am currently running rooted stock 4.5.608. I just installed the WiFi Tether for Root Users app that projektorboy linked, and am posting this from my laptop tethered to my D2G using that app.
---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------
On the other hand, that app does not work seamlessly. When I tried to turn off tethering my phone locked up and I ended up having to pull the battery to reboot it.
Other third-party tethering apps have also been reported to work on the D2G running various Gingerbread ROMs (stock or otherwise), but IIRC they all require root privileges. Either experiment with them on your own to find one that you like, or search various forums for other people's reports (rootzwiki especially has a very active D2G community).
You are correct, Gingerbread is what it is, it has been awhile since I messed with it. And I remember it being a real pain in my rear. So let me get this straight.
You took the update from VZ. Did you unroot before taking the update?
Rooted the new Gingerbread update.
Installed the tethering app that was listed above.
And it all work out well except for the occasional freezing. Back when the update first came out this was not possible so someone must have found a work around.
rooting D2G 2.3.4
I never rooted my phone but wanted to finally root but nothing works, is there a way to install a custom rom w/o phone being rooted. Hence i tried z4root and pete's tools which failed at the abd file. If not can a developer write one for 2.3.4 as there are so many ppl with this model that are trying to root and can't. I would really like to use a firewall on my phone so badly.

I am running rooted stock 4.5.608 (keep refusing the OTA upgrade) (confirmed using root checker basic, have superuser installed). I downloaded the latest wireless tether from the posted link and installed it. The program starts fine, and my laptop tethered to the phone, but as soon as I tried a webpage it goes to Verizon and will not let me surf... Do I need something else to make this work? I am about ready to try to SBF back to Froyo A956 2.4.330 using a file I just downloaded... I mainly use my phone for messenger, email, and a little bit of surfing. I want to be able to tether so I can use my laptop in the car. I don't even use that much data (think my biggest month was about 1GB)...
I swear Version sucks! Trying to get this to work I uninstalled wireless tether, then when I tried to go back to the link to download the apk again, Verizon hijacked my browser and sends me back to their webpage... WTF?
How do I prevent OTA updates once I SBF back to Froyo? Will big brother be able to tell what version I am running on my phone?
As stated previously, if you have root(big if) then there are 3rd party apps that allow tethering. I went from .608 to cm4d2g as stated iin my sig. I use open garden flawlessly...

Why you are going a HARD WAY for Wifi tetering?
Here is an EASY WAY, Just open Market, download and install "FoxFi" then your phone will become a Wifi Hotspot.
Enjoy.

I heard about that app on All About Android. They said wait untill people confirm that they were not billed for tethering. Said it worked great on the supported devices though.

Does anyone know why after putting on custom roms hulu breaks?
Also if i flash back to stock will that fix it? i dont want to hassle with it if it doesnt.
I see a modded version works but come one i want real support! i am a paying hulu customer...
Modded Hulu
Hulu breaks because it requires DRM verification that you can't get on custom roms. I know you said that you don't want to use the modded version but it works well. I have attached the link to the comment I made on the CM9 thread regarding it. Download the landscape version to browse in landscape. If you have ad away, follow the instructions in the second quote to allow hulu to work with ad blocking still on.
6stringaddict said:
I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. The Play Store version of Hulu Plus was giving me a DRM error after installing CM9, so after some searching, I found a modded version that works. It is an older, less polished version and you have to disable ad blocking (use ad away) to get it to work, but it does. I am using the landscape version.

If you add "ads.hulu.com" and "p.hulu.com" to your whitelist in adaway you'll still be able to block ads from other apps. I know i get tired of rebooting the phone when i want to turn off ads to watch hulu. Hope this helps.

If I flash back to stock will it work again? And why can't whatever drm check they do be rolled into custom rooms?
Also just looked everywhere for that guide to go back to stock and couldn't find it. Anyone know here it is?

*EDIT*
From what i read is TWRP doesnt like to flash the stock roms. but CWM does it fine. I will have to switch over to CWM as i have TWRP installed currently.
Before i go to all this work i would really like to make sure that hulu works on stock with an unlocked bootloader.
Went back to rooted stock... hulu works fine.
By now most of you know the drill
But it went like this.
Flash CWM... Do this via fastboot, NOT ROM MANAGER!
Flash Stock
Reflash CWM... I think stock breaks the first flash
Flash root
profit.
Thank you to all the devs that work so hard.
One question remains.
Why does custom roms break hulu and is there a way to change that?
EEK i am a bonehead.... i never actually streamed a video from hulu i just got past the DRM prompt. I have a different message preventing me from watching hulu now. Something about Streaming Unavailable. make sure i have the latest official update.... :/
*EDIT*
A quick search finds this.
GRRRR
Apparently hulu doesn't work on unlocked bootloaders.
Man that pisses me off at hulu... They might lose a subscriber over this.

I hate to dig up old threads. But I was able to get hulu from market to work on my phone. Unlocked and cm10.1 I'm going to try this method tonight on my tablet. If it works. It should no issues. We will have hull working. I'll report back tonight

I have wifi tether for root users and it has stopped working for some reason. I soft bricked my phone about a month ago and had to reinstall everything. I used supersu this time and also have voodoo ota root keeper. I have the most current Verizon update and don't know if this has anything to do with it.
When I use the app it starts without any issues. I get the symbol in my notification bar but it does not show the green one that let's me know I have a wifi hotspot active. It also says that it has been given root access. I am using the galaxy s3 profile and have tried the nexus one as well. All of the other settings are at their default value. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give to help resolve my problem!
Are there any other notifications, down where it says root granted? And does it show the mb up/down at the bottom of the app?
Which ROM are you on also... And try using the generic ICS/JB(Wlan0)
same issue
Im having the same issue after i updated to jellybean. I changed all the settings i could think of in the app settings itself. But notting works. It says its tethering i get the superuser granted, but then the download numbers stops at 0.2 kbps, the upload stays at 0.0 kbps and i cant get my computer to connect. Im running thr stock jellybean update rooted and cwm recovery.
P.s. this is my fisrt post and i cant find anything on the web for help till i found this today. Sorry for the problem and thankz for the help!!

Hoping you both are using Foxfi, right? It doesn't work with JB on most devices, it's in the write-up for the program if you look on Google Play (market).

Didnt see anywhere is say that, but thanks foxfi works ok.
I'm able to connect to my N7 with FoxFi but I'm not able to actually get online, any suggestions?
If any of you are still looking for answers to getting wifi tether to work, go to the link that coolfreak provided. I've confirmed that TrevE's modification works perfectly on the new Jelly Bean ROMs.
I'm using "Portable WiFi Hotspot Free" on the Jelly Bean leak and it works great
hi
up until yesterday my s7 edge was working fine on latest stock rom rooted, then randomly the wifi speed went way down to the point that it doesnt load most images if browsing play store, facebook etc.
at this point i put it down to possibly something went wrong with the root so i re-flashed stock rom via odin which obviously got rid of root. still same issue.
if i use my 4g no problem at all. i know it is not the router as i have done a reboot also my other devices work no problem.
i did do a google search and it shows many s7 users have this problem ever since they pushed the update to 8.0 oreo but i still find this weird as its been working fine for sometime.
any ideas?

Is this happening on any WiFi connection or just home?
Hello,
I own a motorola one vision and would like to flash LineageOS 20 on the device. I am creating this thread to know the experiences of people who did something similar. I would like to know if there is any issues with a custom ROM on this device [calling issues, or similar]. I would also like to know if there is a way to revert back to the stock ROM in case I screw up something. I have read several threads about this device but I would like to confirm it again and be provided with some pointers of what I could expect with a custom ROM on this device and how I could revert back to the stock ROM in case I screw something up.
Thanks in advance

I have been using lineageos since last year. I have used lineageos19 and am currently using lineageos20. The user experience is quite good. Everything works fine including calling except the hotspot. Hotspot does work but you have to keep tapping on the toggle to enable the hotspot or you can just restart the phone that's the temporary fix for the hotspot issue. The developer might fix the issue in the future updates. Other than that I didn't find any issue with the ROM and also it doesn't pass the safety net so you have to root your phone and install magisk to bypass safety net so that you can use your banking apps.
There are two versions official and unofficial. Official gets update every week and unofficial one is with the pixel features and google apps. It gets monthly updates.
If anything goes wrong you can install the official software called lenovo rescue and smart assistant on your pc and connect your phone with usb to pc. It can recover your phone to the original android 11 stock ROM.

Hey! Sorry for checking after this long. I don't plan on using any banking apps so it will be fine for me. I already got my unlock code and just have to unlock the device and flash LineageOS. I will do that after backing it up. Thank you for your sharing your experience !!!
