Has anyone gotten wifi tether to work on fp5? On 3.1 pre 12 (the one that worked perfectly before) my computer can see the network but it says limited access when I try to use it. On the latest one in the play store my computer can't even see the network and on the phone it says "tethering started with issues" in a toast notification.
So far I haven't had any problems with FoxFi. Computer picks it up and connects automatically.
Tweaked out on Circuitry
Had a hot boot when I turned it off but it worked fine

So far I found that tethering is nearly worthless on FP5. FoxFi won't allow me to connect the computer. Wifi tether will hot reboot when stopping sometimes. It will also actually spit errors and basically bork the wifi driver when restarting-- reboot required to fix it. Additionally, when it does "work", data stops periodically (likely sleep state issue-- which is probably a kernel issue) and only resumes when the turn the screen on. I thought about trying to find an app that prevents the phone from sleeping. This happens on the beta2-2 as well as pre12.
My nerd-rage got the best of me and I loaded up Froyo. No problems there. I have a CWM of Gummycharged Froyo and Tweaked3.0 and Tweaked 2.0, so far no issues restoring.
Tweaked 2.0 gave me the same issues as Tweaked 3.0.
I am using FP5 radios on Froyo with no tether issues.
This is absolutely not knocking on how great Tweaked is, it's just that something is preventing proper wifi tether.
Do you have disable wakelock unchecked?

I installed and tried out FoxFi. It works and it shuts down ok. The weird thing is I now have the native mobile hotspot icon in my status bar and in the notification pulldown. If I tap it in pulldown it takes me to Mobile Hotspot settings and there it shows itself to be shut off. Is there a process still turned on that I don't know about? I turned off FoxFi in Task Manager and tried to find Mobile Hotspot in Running Processes and Titanium. I found nothing by that name. Maybe there's another name for it.
I'm about to try rebooting the phone but I was hoping to find a way to shut this off without it.
Update: Rebooting does shut it off. Is there something I could freeze in Titanium to keep this from happening again?
Update 2: Looking through Titanium there are 2 Wi-Fi Access Points. One is labeled 101 and the other is XML. Might one or both of these be the culprit? Can I freeze one or both of them?
Ok Titanium won't freeze either of them.
Update 3: I think I know what I did wrong. I think I switched the computer to another connection without turning off FoxFi first. So it appears to work good for me. I don't think FP5 causes the issue we're talking about here.
I've used PDANet for a wired connection too. It works great. The problem there is they won't let you use it for secure sights without paying for it. They want $15.95. I'm not willing to pay that much for it.

It sounds to me like you are trying to mix and match kernels and roms. If you want your phone to work right you need to be on FP5 straight across the board. FP5 stock absolutely smokes everything that came before. Even FP1 PB&J on Ext4 is a dog compared to it. Then you run Tweaked 3.0 on top of that and you have a smooth, problem free phone. At least I do.

Disable wakelock seems to keep the display on, and I don't want to burn out the screen. That does keep the connection mostly stable, but I still have issues with hot reboots and not being able to start and stop the and restart the service properly.
In Froyo (and EP4D, I believe) wakelock can be disabled and tether works flawlessly.
Another issue I noticed is that on FP1 and FP5, uploads on the phone work fine, but uploads over tether will pretty much kill the connection until enough time is given without uploading data.
@stueycaster
I noticed that mobile hotspot icon as well with FoxFi, but I never could get data through, even though I was connected to WiFi. I haven't had issues with PDANet, but yeah it costs money, and it is lame to be wired.
My issue with the Mobile Hotspot icon was that it stayed on after I'd shut off FoxFi. It didn't stay on as long as I shut down Foxfi before I switched my computer to another connection. The first time I switched it then shut down FoxFi after and the icon got stuck on. It went away with a reboot. FoxFi worked great for me. I even got 13MBps download speeds through it according to Speakeasy.
Actually I don't think of a wired connection as lame at all. If there's a choice between wired and wireless I'll choose a wire every time. It's secure. I almost lost my bank numbers to a thieving internet asshole once and now I'm very careful.

I've tried the most recent two PBJ kernel with Tweaked 2.0 and the stock FP5 kernel with Tweaked 3.0. Same thing. As I recall, Imoseyon 4.0 kernel works on EP4D with tether just fine. I've had better luck with Froyo though, but that is anecdotal evidence. I've noticed improvements with each newer baseband version no matter what ROM/kernel I'm on. I am nearly certain that baseband is free of dependencies of ROM/kernel.

Wireless is the way to go for me, then I can place the phone for optimal reception. With access control and WPA2 of Wifi tether, I don't see how anyone would be able to join your network. If you connect to some random wifi network, then you'll want to be cautious that someone isn't arp spoofing or packet sniffing.
I haven't seen an app that beats wifi tether, the customization is much better than anything else I've tried. I know there is a problem with FP5 base or the FP5 kernel with wifi tether. I just don't have the knowledge to troubleshoot it.
Thanks for the heads up on this. Runs perfect on my stock ROM.

I'm experiencing intermittent connectivity while tethering my thunderbolt through either wifi or a usb cable. I usually have to restart the app or the phone to get it back. Anyone else experiencing this?
i used to have this happen to me alll the time. now i rarely see it. was using bamf rom at the time and nothing but grief. now i'm on synergy rom and using wireless tether 2.07 and no problems. which rom/kernel/radio are you using?

funny you should mention that as i'm using bamf 3.0 haha. Guess I know what I need to do now.
btw, the latest wireless tether app, the 3.01 or something, doesn't work. try either the 207 or 205 version. whichever will give you better stability. the stock tethering app that comes with the rom and anyother rom, doesnt give me good results. i wasn't able to download even a 350mb rom without loosing the 4g, no its not a problem. i also noticed that the 4g disappears whenever i opened too many tabs at the same time on tethered computer. guess too many pages loading at the same time somehow overloads something. i have no explanation.
I use BAMF and have same problem and i noticed connectivety dropped when display went to sleep so when tethering i turn it to not cut off and i have no problems now

this is a different problem. i think that he's talking about the 4g connection disappearing for a second, then reappearing, but being unable to tether anymore. happens at random. ur talking about he wifi sleep policy thing.
Can't get Mobile Hotspot to run > 5-10 minutes tops, whether I run the stock config from VZN with Mobile Hotspot enabled (incl packet data and roaming enabled) or if I run the aftermarket apps / ROMs listed below. 4G LTE in Portland with 5 bars and 20 Mbps down / 6 up on Speedtest.net app on phone. Similar speed when connected on Hotspot to Laptop. Current system info today (after doing the info listed below last night) is:
Firmware version 2.3.4
Baseband version
i510.06 V.EE4
SCH-1510.EE1
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-EP1Q-CL397514
Build number
SCH-I510.EP1Q
Calls to VZN tech several times about the Hotspot dropping signal; no luck. Sent me replacement phone, which (big surprise) did same thing. Level 2 tech said my next step was to "umm, you didn't hear this from me, but check xda developers and a process called rooting." Confidence inspiring as that was, let's just say I was willing to give it one last shot since I love the phone's screen, size, batt life. Shutting off WPA2 helped extend the time a bit, sometimes to 12 minutes, but that's as good as it got. After drop (laptop shows Wireless Connection Unavailable when searching),
Tried tethering apps (PDAnet, EasyTether) too while still stock. Same issue, but at least it lasted longer. Combined with aforementioned longer time btwn dropping when WPA2 is disabled, I'm thinking it's a software issue at this point.
Tried rooting, with CWM, PBJ kernel & Froyo EE4 debloated. First root experience for me; super careful. Great instructions, no problem going through the process. When I pulled down OpenGarden and Barnacle, they said they didn't have root access though.
Fine, let's step a little further away from stock. Flashed up the GummyCharged 1.9 EE4 Froyo. Nice interface, this time OpenGarden and Barnacle work HOWEVER (here's where maybe someone can tell me how to fix)
Both OG and Barnacle show up only as ad hoc, not full WLAN icons on my laptops (Win7 Latitude, and Win 7 XPS Studio 13), and it cannot connect to the internet with them. Are there settings I need to tweak to get either app to work?
I then tried the $4.99 WiFi Hotspot app. That one looks very much like the stock VZN Mobile Hotspot app, and showed up as a regular WLAN like VZN's Mobile Hotspot does. Worked about 20 minutes, then dropped.
OK, another step down the rabbit hole with Gingerbread this time. GummyCharged GBE 1.9RC2 Beautiful interface. $4.99 WiFi Hotspot no workie at all. Tried OpenGarden and Barnacle as well - still get that stupid ad hoc network thing.
Someone please let me know where I'm missing a step on any of these apps. I love the phone, big fan of GummyCharged Gingerbread look/feel, but frustrated beyond belief that I can't get simple mobile hotspot (or even tethering, which I enjoyed 2 yrs of blissfully slow 3G on my old iPhone 3GS before it was stolen from my truck / forcing me to re-evaluate my carrier & hardware options at that time).
Thanks again - ideas welcomed. Really want to try to make this work on this phone instead of turning it in for a T-Bolt (which VZN tier 2 tech suggested if rooting didn't resolve).
Welcome ANY ideas here. While I love the GB GC setup / speed / batt life, I'm open to going back to Froyo GC if you think that would help. VZN's also willing to let me turn in my Charge for a T-Bolt which they say has fewer tether/hotspot issues (albeit bad batt life).
Flashed a new radio yesterday - still drops Web after 2-10 min. Drops ping too, just f-ing useless as a hotspot or tether. New config is
Firmware version 2.3.4
Baseband version
i510.06 V.EP1
Unknown
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-EP1Q-CL397514
Build number
SCH-I510.EP1Q
Very, very disheartened. Dig everything else about the Charge, but I need tethering or hotspot as part of my job.
Bueller? Bueller? Buellllllller?
OK, for those of you who are suffering the same issues, here's a stopgap fix, hopefully VZN or some stud developer here will drop a wireless hotspot / tether solution that works on this phone. Maybe the issue is that VZN's Portland LTE is a POS implementation that bumps everyone off after 10 min of tethering. I bought the darn service to stay stock and would have used it - IF it worked.
PDANet seems to be the only real working solution if you want to stay tethered more than 10 minutes. You'll want to do the first level of Tether Hiding for more stability. And no proxies, using Chrome browser. That stayed running for 45 minutes. Woo. hoo. Still though, it's better than nothing. Once browser stalls at 45 min, you simply turn off PDANnet on the phone, go into airplane mode, turn airplane mode off, bring up 4G again, then turn on PDANet again.
Download speed was 6Mbps and upload around 1-2 Mbps, so it's kind of an improvement over the iPhone I came from (1 down, .5 up, but would tether or hotspot for days without a drop).
This is using the GB GummyCharge setup mentioned in the original post, with the modem flash mentioned in post 2.
After rooting and trying GB GC, I really didn't want to go back to stock. I haven't even done the lagfix - still using the stock file system. Phone is more stable than stock, faster responsiveness, much faster boot, far superior interface, phenomenal improvement in battery life. I used to drop to 20% battery if I got up at 5 AM and didn't get a charge by 10 PM, minimal 4G usage or navigation, just a few phone calls. Now with GB GC, it's 40% at bedtime.
That said, if anyone finds a cure for this crappy tether/hotspot solution which seems to be with VZN in Portland area on Droid Charge, please follow up with a post here or somewhere in the forum.
its not just your area man i am a truck driver and have had this problem in multiple places both 4g and 3g.

Hi All,
I have a Rooted Droid Charge and I have the old Wireless Tether app on my phone. Can I "tether" my Motorola Xoom Tablet off of it? or is Verizon gonna know that I am doing that and charge me for it or cut my unlimited plan?
I hear people saying yes...they could find out and also no they can never find out...wondering if someone knows for sure
Thanks in advance
They definitely CAN find out, whether they will do anything about it or not is another question.
I use the free wireless tether to tether my ipad2 occasionally but I make sure not to overuse it like some posters do & I've never had a problem.

Hey man, I work for Verizon and I use the wireless tether free too. Theres been times ive hit high amounts of data and I never had an issue with Verizon. I use it everyday, including at my job because we have ****ty AT&T internet. My rep has told me they have ways to monitor 3G tethering but not 4G yet; as far as throttling goes. Anyways, if you want to use your tether to connect your xoom this is how you do it.
1. Download this app and install it. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk&can=2&q=
2. Open the app up, DONT DO ANYTHING YET.
3. Hit menu, go to settings.
4. Change the device profile to Fascinate.
5.Change setup type to the one that says Master.
6. Reboot your phone.
Now any device will pick up your hotspot. Keep in mind once you activate the tether you cant deactivate it and reactivate it unless you reboot! Itll just hang on you. So once your done using it, reboot your phone.
actually, use 3.0. its older but supports 4g and you dont have to reboot your phone every time. 3.1 disconnects randomly and you need to reboot every time you want to reuse it. just started using 3.0 and havent had the same issues. there was a thread i found that talked about this but i cant find it atm. if i find it ill post link for you.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...l?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre12.apk&can=4&q=3.0
edit - read this thread. this is where i got the idea to try 3.0 instead of 3.1. 3.0 seams to be working much better and I dont have to constantly force stop the app and reboot to get it to work every time.

3.1 supports my 4G though? Thanks though!
yes both 3.0 and 3.1 support 4g. Its just that 3.0 is less buggier. 3.1 will randomly boot you off the network and like you previously stated. you must reboot the phone every time or the app just hangs. 3.0 does have thous issues. it has yet to randomly boot me off. Nor do i need to reboot the phone after every use. i can just toggle app off and on and it works every time. no reboot needed. ive tested using both pc and xbox 360 and in my honest option 3.0 just works a lot better then 3.1. But by all means if you prefer 3.1 to 3.0 thats completely fine. its your phone. I was just trying to help possibly showing yall a easier way(no random disconnects and not having to reboot after every use).
As far as Verizon knowing if you tether or not. I dont know if they can track but i know ive never been charged for tethering and have done it for over a year now.
Verizon knows, however if you're not using ridiculous amounts of data they usually leave you alone.

Need some help.* I have a 4G Xoom with a 1GB data plan, so when I am away from the house, I tether it to myHTC Thundernbolt, which I have an unlimited tethering plan for.*
The problem I am having is this.* The devices stay connected just fine, but data thruput is spotty.* Little things, like emails, GTalk, etc gothrough just fine.* However things like web surfing hang.* I will gettwoor three pagesok, but then I go to a page and it hangs while loading the page between 1/3 and 1/2the way through the page.
Here is the info.*
Xoom is rooted, but stock.* Issue is pre and post root, pre and post 4G upgrade, and a couple of factory resets.* Pre and post update to 3.2.2 build HLK75. Connects fine on my network at home, and others like at resturaunts.* I've forgotten the network, etc... I have tried multiple browsers too. Happens with stock browser, Dolphin HD, Dolphin for Pad, and Opera. (I hate Opera) No other data issues on the Xoom. WiFi at home is smooth as butter, so is the 4G when I do turn it on.
The Thunderbolt.* Stock and unrooted.* Happens pre and post update to 2.3.4.* I have done factory reset, set the hotspot back to standar, changed channels, security, etc....* Also, the hotspot is set to always be on, not to time out. No data issues on the phone.
It is annoying to constantly not be able to use the net when aeay from the house. Help, please. Just let me know if you need more info. One last thing. It doesn't matter where I try it at. Hotspot at home (testing it) at work, or out other places. Also, I have tethered my laptop to the phone with no problems multiple times.
Thanks....
Sorry for the formatting and astriks, don't know how that happened.
what app are you using to tether have you tried any others like easy tether?
I am using the stock mobile hotspot app on the Thunderbolt. I have the unlimited tethering feature. Haven't tried another app, since I am paying to have the ability
After several days of testing, etc.... I think I have figured it out. Happens when the screen on the Thunderbolt times out. At that point, the hot spot stops responding. I checked and have it set for Always On, and tested the other two time frames there. Nothing changed. Guess I should call tech and try a CLNR.

I use Barnacle with my TB to tether both my Xoom and Nook Color with no problems. Have used Wireless Tether but prefer Barnacle for no particular reason.
Your the second to say something about a different app. I looked on the market, and all require root access. Haven't rooted yet.
Interesting development, after doing everything I could think of, I turned off the security as a last ditch effort. Goes against everything security wise, but..... It seems to make the difference.still a little latency, but it works.

You don't have to root your Xoom, you run the wifi tethering program on your Thunderbolt which does have to be rooted.
Sorry, I meant the Thunderbolt being rooted. The Xoom is, my Thunderbolt isn't. If I can't get this resolved any other way, I will root it. Going to call tomorrow and see if I can get it replaced and try a different unit first.

I don't use USB tethering often, but when I do, the built in version always works perfectly. Tried it on OMFGB, liquid AOSP, and workshed CM7. An older version of Imo's kernel (version 4 I think) supports USB tethering.

I use easy tether and have no issues. For wifi tether I use opengarden (faster than USB tether) don't have issues with either.
And its only when I try to use 4G. 3G will stay tethered all day long if i let it but its just way to slow. I usually get 15-20 Mbps down with USB tether 4g. Thats fast as hell. I wish I had a little Porto WiFi adapter for my work PC's. Cuz yeah when I wifi tether my AOKP TouchPad I dont have this problem.
There may be something wrong specifically with his ROM. I have USB Tethering working fine on my Sense-based ROM, but I tried his and it would work for 15 seconds and stop working, then never reconnect. I tried having something persistently connected to internet on my phone but that didn't help either.
I use the ClockworkMod Tether. Works on every ROM I've tried.
I was hoping I wasn't gonna have to resort to sense but I might have
to. I need this to just work. No installer PC ware

Ive tried my Phenom2 x6 and 2 Diff. Core 2 Duo's (that's just my House).
A few Newer laptops. Wifi tether worked no problem, just alot slower then straight USB (when it works).
There were a few at work I tried and No good either.
Back when I first started bringing up this issue (Sept.) I was told It was a known 4g issue (By a great Dev who has since moved to the Razor, hint hint) and that's why there is no problem with 3 g tethering at all. Just wondering If someone had a set up that completely works with out having to reset every 5 Min or so. I think I had good Luck with ThunderShed 1.3 this weekend. I fell asleep FTPing some stuff from my friend (good size) and It was finished when I woke up. That's a good sign so far. I just need one person to see this thread that has the perfect setup for 4G USB Tethering, 24/7 if need be. It would be great to know.

I always just used the built in wired tether with cm7. I had an issue once where it would drop in and out, but after doing a total reset and reloading cm7 once again, it was fine. I also don't use the DNS with the phone. I switch my DNS on my PC to be layer3 DNS (4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.6). DNS is allegedly one of the ways they can track what device the transfer is coming from.

Might also try disabling IPv6 and anything else not needed on the connection as it won't actually tether through it anyways. It could be causing a conflict somehow

So you are running which cm7. I am now running TShed 1.3 and stock tether was great for about 20 minutes. Then just stopped. So turned off tether reset mobile data and 3g 4g. Nothing. Not even wired 1.4 works. Rebooted a few times, I've been at this for bout an hour now and still nothing. Not even wired 1.4. So I switched from auto to 4.2.2.1-4.2.2.6 DNS. Thanks for that bit of info. Now do I have to do that every time? Anyway I'm frigging stuck here and I hear all these people's are working fine.

If you set the DNS on your PC, it should stay that way. You can always verify if you need to. But yeah, I used cm7 and the built in tether just fine.

So every time my USB connection starts it gives me a new Connection(I'm up to like number 54. So I have to go in and set the DNS and disable ipv6 every time? How do I get my USB tether settings to stick on my Win7 Ultimate x64 every time I start my tether instead of it thinking its a brand new connection every time? I got ThunderShed 1.3(stock kernel) installed now and the stock tether isn't working but the wired-tether 1.4 is working great after a couple resets. It must have stuck for a few hours until I shut it off. That's great considering how bad of a time Ive been having.

Now do you see how that "Thanks" button works? yareally is really trying to help me and has helped some, so I have hit the "Thanks".
That's how the "Thanks" button works.

Not sure why it keeps changing your connection number. It's never done that to me unless I've flashed a new ROM or something when I've used it on windows 7. Turning off and turning back on your wifi device might also do it (the one attached to your PC).
