I've searched everywhere and I can't seem to find an answer. I'd like to use the hotspot app on 2.3.7 with 4G. I'm using Peter Crespo wifi tether fix but it only gives 3G not 4G. I've gotten wifi tether 4G to work using an ICS rom but my girlfriend will kill me if I put a custom rom on here since everything we've tried has been a signal nightmare for her except for stock rom. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I found posts for TiBu methods for freezing wifi tethering restrictions on GB and did it successfully.. Is there a way to enable tethering on ICS 4.0.3? Running the Sky ICS 4.2D rom.
are u using the new ucld2 base? if you are then dial *#638# and hit wifi tethering always on and then again, then restart phone. If you are on the old base, ultracfg should be available in the app drawer, if not, u will have to install it on your current rom

Yes working from seanzscreams' SKI ICS UCLD2 base.. Your method worked but there seems to be a bug with this as it freezes while "verifying." Also when restarting and disabling the tether.
haven't read much on tethering and ucld2, let alone try it. it may or may not be broken, im sure someone will look into it
Installing an updated base Rom so i'll letcha know if the issue's resolved.. Thanks for your help
Still running into issues with the tether toggling. Not sure.
Q. Generally good practice to fix permissions after every flash?
i was using cleanrom 3.1 for a while, and everything was working fine. but i seen the new version (4.1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011 and couldn't resist all the new features and mods lol.. thing is, now that i updated to 4.1 my LTE is no longer working, its just using 4G
ive tried the same settings i used before on cleanrom 3.1 and they don't seem to work. settings as seen here ===> http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...166a897/4ffa16a7/1/1/2/3/8/6/9/Rogers_APN.txt
i flashed back to my old nandroid backup which was a stock rom and the LTE was working fine again. but when i flash to cleanrom 4.1 the LTE doesn't work, even after putting the APN settings in..
any help would be much appreciated, i need my LTE to work or there is no point lol, not worth having a custom rom if i don't get LTE speeds that i pay for
edit: nevermind.. it just started working musta been something on the rogers end of things. woot!
I've been trying a few JellyBean roms and they work quite smoothly I must say
but one feature that is still missing for me is the hability to connect to adhoc networks just like in old modded ICS roms.
I've patched and recompiled Team EOS3 wpa_supplicant that allows to see adhoc networks.
(although it should be the same source for other JB roms most likely too)
Unfortunately using Roach's default kernel it still doesn't list adhoc networks,
by using Guevor's kernel V23-JB-EOS it is able to list them.
However it is timing-out while trying to connect to it. :\
I'm not sure, but it might be related to the wifi module that comes with the rom / kernels.
If anyone knows what else should be changed in order to get it to work, feel free to contribute
It'd be nice to get it working on JB again
If you want to give it a try and report what works or doesn't work with each rom / kernel combination of your choice, I've attached the modified wpa_supplicant.
To test:
- turn off wifi
- su and remount /system rw
- mv /system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.ori
- gunzip the file
- cp wpa_supplicant /system/bin/
- chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
- turn wifi back on.
If you want to switch back to the previous wpa_supplicant:
- turn off wifi
- mv /system/bin/wpa_supplicant.ori /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
- turn on wifi

I know this is for Transformer so my post is pretty off topic, but this actually is the first modified wpa_supp that allows me to turn on wifi again on Nexus S with stock JB. Unfortunately it doesn't show me ad hoc network either
The only ICS ROM that works in adhoc mode for me is Revolver. I have tried Guevor and Harmnony kernels and they both work. I wish I knew more to help the cause. Ricardopvz started to work with me to fix this in Megatron but he got sidetracked and never continued. I suppose someone could look at the driver in Revolver to see how that one works and see if the changes can be ported to JB.
Adhoc tethering is important to me because my old Droid-1 can't tether to my tablet in infrastructure mode. Bluetooth tethering is slow and inconvenient. Thanks for carrying the flag on this. I will try to help with the testing.

Ah yeah, glad it could help still
I don't think wpa_supplicant is much different from rom to rom, so good to know that one works on Nexus S too.
Next is to figure out what might be missing either in the rom or in the wifi module or such...

I have the same problem with my Nokia phone, it can only do adhoc network for sharing its 3G connection.
I can connect fine through it with bluetooth from a PC too, but android is not able to see the modem through bluetooth unfortunately.
So I definitely need adhoc to work
Maybe Ricardopvz or someone could participate for the JB roms if they have an idea what to modify next, I can have a look too.
I'll have a look in what could be changed in the BCM wifi driver in the meantime.
This makes the RaymanFX CM10 ROM see ad-hoc's but timeout on connect. Hope someone will fix this as ad-hoc is kind of necessary for me
theres a few things that have to in place for ad-hoc connections to work. just modifying the wpa_supplicant is not the answer. first the linux kernel on your device has to have CONFIG_NETFILTER, CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES, and CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC features. These are required for tethering (ad-hoc) to work in linux/android. also binaries like iwconfig will need to be included. ad hoc connections from droid to droid are sketchy and flaky because there are so many different kernels, wireless cards, and third party apps on so many different devices. I see why so many people dont like to use bluetooth tethering. typical cellular data service data transfer rates are much slower than the theoretical limits of Bluetooth, making the potential higher bandwidth of WiFi irrelevant.
these are the theoretical maximum speeds for various Bluetooth versions
Bluetooth Basic Rate (BR) 1Mbit/s
Bluetooth 2 Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) 2-3Mbit/s
Bluetooth 3 + HS (high Speed) 24MBit/s
So on the face of it, Wifi will normally give you a faster connection however the limitation is probably going to be the speed of your phone's data connection.

Well, what I'm trying to achieve here is connect to an existing adhoc network which would already be doing the NAT, so you wouldn't need any of that on the client tablet.
Android doesn't use iwconfig by default.
Netfilter/iptables support would be in cases you'd in addition want to share your internet connection through the tablet.
For connecting to an existing adhoc network, it mostly boils down to wpa_supplicant and the kernel wifi driver, and maybe some android-space process
But seeing that it times-out while trying to connect even by using directly wpa_cli commands, that should eliminate the android space process from the loop.
That should leave only wpa_supplicant and the wifi driver.

Didnt break the wifi card, but everything acted like the original file. No ad-hoc.
With the file i can see the ad-hoc networks around but can not connect them...

Babai,
Check out this thread.. I posted into EOS#4 thread the other day as I read somewhere some other's where having problems.. as you can see I am running the same phone as you.. but I am on Yanks kernel.. Look for my post in that thread and you will see the setup that worked for me.
I was reading through the posts today and through I come across some guy with tethering issues..
I just upgraded to #94 and are using this tether program with the SIII I9000, working great...

I know AOSP does not support WiFi calling, but derivatives should, if they were not completely unbloated...
What derivative ROMs include WiFi Calling?
Is there a "stock rooted" that I just can't seem to find here?
I must have deleted my OG backup of stock rooted is why I ask.
I'm fairly certain that wifi calling is only available on the stock roms. I think this is the debloated stock jb with wifi calling: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51884646 I don't know if its rooted but thats not any harder than flashing the rom.

So that would mean you wouldn't be able to run 4.4.2 and have WiFi calling? Rats!
Stock based ICS and jb ROMs should have it as well as custom ROMs that are ICS so like a cm9 should work too. But T-Mobile embedded it into framework jb and newer so no go on recent custom ROMs
