Noob mobile hotspots issue

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

Android tether 3.1 beta

Hey guys anyone know some good settings for android Wi-Fi tether 3.1 to work on the charge..
I saw somewhere to use fascinate as the device profile and change to digital for Samsung, but that has never worked for on any 3.1 versions, so Ive used 2.0.7 since I found Wi-Fi tether...
If anybody could help me I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Uncheck wifi driver reload and choose the Droid Charge profile. Make sure you uncheck that box though, otherwise you'll have to reboot to get wifi back.

So is this better than pre 12 or should I not bother with it?

One big advantage I see is that the new version is in the Play Store, so no more bother with sideloading. It'll autoupdate this way as well.

So Verizon is allowing us to download that version? Sounds fishy don't you think?

When does Verizon come into the transaction at all? Play Store is Google.

I understand Play Store is Google. I had the impression that carriers can block certain apps from appearing in the Play Store. When I was on sprint they blocked wireless tether app. I'm probably wrong about Verizon.

Google had pretty much blocked all tethering apps from the Market for a while, but they've started popping back up again. Not sure why the change in policy, unless they've just decided to stop letting the carriers dictate their internal policies.

Never really understood why google would be behind removing certain apps, yet you google the app apk and easily download it.

Google was just cooperating with the carriers.

I love wifi tether with unlimited data...it's just like being hooked up to HSD at home.

FoxFi works fine for me. Don't have to deal with rebooting on the wifi tether app.

I use Wifi Tether and I don't have to reboot either. It's as simple as unchecking a box in the config. I don't trust FoxFi. Anything that uses the built in tethering is going to automatically be easier to detect than something like Wifi Tether or Open Garden.

Which check box? The wi-fi driver reload option? I'd love to be able to skip the reboot (on 3.1-beta11).

Yes uncheck that box and you should be good to go

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

Wireless Tether for Root Users

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.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium

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?

Any idea why after some time (30min aprox) the tethering trev shuts down by self?
How can I fix that?

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.

TETHER ON LG THRILL 4G(stock ICS)

does anyone know how to enable tethering on stock ICS for LG thrill 4G?

EDIT: sorry, it's late and I'm tired. I thought you meant wifi/hotspot tethering. Anyway, regarding that:
I tried it a few times with a phone I had around (Motorola Droid 1).
The Droid sees the hotspot but won't connect even though I entered the password correctly.
Maybe I don't have some wifi setting configured properly on one of the devices...
Does anyone else have this working?
As far as USB tether, I have no idea...

LG intentionally broke WiFi tethering, upon AT&T's anti-tethering policy. Sorry to say. Anyhow, I don't know definite workaround just yet - Barnacle WiFi hotspot worked on Gingerbread though.

Not in ICS but does Tether work in V30a if yes it should be possible to make it work on V30B

I am glad I don't have to deal with AT&T. All your tethers are belong to us. Good grief.
Tethering is an interesting feature, but I would only use it once in a.... well, never.

v30C is already set that way...

Well, I tried on CM10, it asks for WiFi address ports (Barnacle work its way halfway but then quits, tossing out WiFi-related errors).

Hey Dr.,
I found this. It purports to fix broken tethering on some roms... I haven't tried it.

Thanks alot! That finally worked! Managed to go around the network verification! USB tethering now works but Wi-Fi tethering still has some issue, it shows turned on but I can't get the signal using another device
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app

drastic00, it should work because of WiFi socket error, so what it should do is to generate DNS server internally instead of relying on external ones (the reason for tethering breakage on some CyanogenMod ROMs). Will give it a try.
