ATT ics 4.04 updated.... now wifi hotspot won't work!

Okay updated my skyrocket ATT phone to ICS 4.04 last night with their legit update from ATT. Now my wifi tether does not work! That is all I use for internet and the main reason I bought this phone. When I click on the app to start tethering the phone hangs for 1 minute, errors message saying settings has stopped working and then everything closes.
Suggestions?

Yes use a custom rom then you get the best of all worlds low bloat and tethering turned on and maybe smoother.

Thats what I was thinking but was trying to be lazy this time. I will have to go read up on the current ROMS. You suggest one over the other?

ICS 4.0.4 Hotspot
I am having the same issue with the hotspot mode. When i go to enter the menu from settings it locks up for about a minute then crashes. I did some reading and found this was an issue with 4.0.4 for some Sony phones. What they found was that they were missing APNs after the update.
The only APN i see on my phone now is the Default PTA and I seem to remember having 2-3 APNs on 2.3.5.

Well sky-ice 4.2f6 is a very nice and its based off of att official rom and seanzscreams does a rom right.

Mine works fine
Hello All,
Don't know why, but mine works fine with no modifications.

Actually I found a fix for it. Install and run Wifi Hot spot & USB tether lite from svtp and that causes Tue stop hot spot to work again.

Yeah I don't think they want to keep this phone going. They want us to buy new ones. I'm going to have to wait for income tax refund time. That's OK, I really like my phone with Tweaked on it.
The thing I think is funny is the iPhone commercials keep bragging about stuff my poor old Charge already has.

WOW!! I leave the droid charge community for a few months and this is what happens??? Simply incredible. As I have relegated my charge to WIFI only duty this is nearly perfect. The only issue is that it never actually boots. The boot animation just keeps on going and going and going. Does the file system need to be converted to EXT4 before flashing? I'm using the latest 0302 recovery too. Thanks in advance!
Nevermind. Got it up and running. Seems like the recovery updated itself somehow (shrug) and flashed it using the brand new CWM looking recovery and it's working. Can't wait to play around with this later.

Excuse me while I change my shorts.

Just wondering (I'm not a developer or anything), but to get DATA working couldn't we throw in the Factory Test.apk? I was looking at what was running, and it always is. Then I looked at what it is and it all has to do with the RIL.
I am actually looking into trying this build! I usually have Wi-Fi wherever I go so DATA isn't too big of a problem. If it does ever get fixed I believe this would be the Charge's lifesaver.
Any news on the issue that people are having getting it to install?

FactoryTest is in this build, it is required for secPhone.apk to work. I'm not actually sure if it helps or not but its in there. I'm not sure on the boot issues, after installing I would just make sure to wipe data and it should be fine.

I said where I come from, not where I live. I live in Madison, WI (UW Madison campus) and there is literally wifi almost everywhere on campus. I am from rural Wisconsin, where Verizon and US Cellular are the only viable carriers.

Two questions.
So people have gotten this to install?
Is it easy to switch back to Tweaked after installing this?

Check my edit. It installed just fine. Still not optimized, but it's a VERY functional build.

different type of wifi issue.... I think

Hello Everyone. I have an att one X that is having an odd wifi issue. I've googled and only found the hardware wifi issue and im pretty sure that's not what i have. I actually got this phone on a trade for a one s, when i recieved the X it alrealdy had the venom rom installed. so at first i thought that it was just maybe a bad rom flash because i looked at the rom build and it was one of the earlier versions, but i flashed cm10 and the issue is still there. The issue with my wifi is that it doesn't connect to anything even if im right next to the router. it doesn't seem to find the router and it'll constantly pickup random wifi signals and not the one i want, but regardless it will never connect. all of the info i've seen out there about the hardware problem says its a week signal problem with both wifi and Bluetooth but it'll still connect. my bluetooth also seems to be working fine. I'm on the new firmware i believe because i have to flash the boot image through fastboot in order to get a rom to load. Can it be the Kernal? i've been reading on this so such for the last two days that i think i read that the kernal must also me flashed in a different way, not straight through the recovery.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll try and post a quick video on this issue later on

Bro.. Mr sinco and I have been fighting this issue with aosp ROMs for the last 6-8 weeks.... We've brought it up and seems to be pushed aside.. it started making me mad enough to where I'm back on sense ROMs. (Not that there's anything bad about them, I rather aosp)

Well i think that rules me out. Because I was on the venom rom which is a sense rom. Maybe I'll try another sense rom and see if that works for me

Hmmm sense ROMs have always been good... Maybe try to delete that ROM off of sdcard, do a clean download of cleanrom or something, and try everything fresh.. don't do a backup or anything... 100% clean install and see what happens

i too have been effected by poor wifi performance on all aosp ROMs (specifically AOSP JB rom's) rohan has asked me to provide a log at i have to do so, i just figured theres no way no one else doesnt have the issue and one of his irc buddies or someone with more knowledge would provide one...however we're months later and i still have the issue, i suppose its time i buckle down and logcat the poor man.

Thanks really hope that works. I really like this phone and it would be a shame if it was some other type of hardware issue I can't fix

Well my problem is connecting.. it can take up to 20 minutes just to latch on. Once its connected the performance OK OK, nothing to complain about but nothing to brag about either.

Its the router not the phone. Well kinda.... the phone(with aosp or cm installed) does not handle certain securities that some router use. I have been troubleshooting the best I can and I finally got mine to work but you need to be able to adjust router settings

How do I edit router settings? This happens on every aosp ROM..

It happened to me on every ROM I tried that wasn't a sense ROM. I ended up having to turn of DMZ and WPS. After that I got my normal download and upload speeds and it always stays connected.

Do you turn this off in the phone or the router?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2

On the router. DMZ is a security subnetwork to help keep internet "things" out of your router. WPS is also on the router and helps people who have trouble connecting devices to their router to be able to just hit a button to connect. Turn them both off in the router settings.

Another question. So your phone still doesn't connect to any type of secured wifi networks with any rom period?

Idk. I haven't test on many networks. Only home and work. Work has limited security. So it connects fine

i realize my post was far from informative...yes my issue is it not conecting as well. will try, but if you watch it, it stops and just sits at "secured, not in range" or wtf ever. After you put the password in, turn the screen off and let it sleep for a minute, i bet when you turn the screen on itll be connected (its been my only solution so far)

Well PLUKK thanks for all of the feedback. My issue is experiencing it's own unique characteristics and issues I haven't seen, but also includes some of yours. Unfortunately I haven't been able to test on any open unsecured network yet. But the thing with my phone is that it will literally be right next to the router and it sometimes won't show the router in my list of available networks but it'll show others. And all of them are secured. I've tried this at my home and my girlfriends home and here at the school I work at. I work at college so WIFi is everywhere and I've never had problems connecting before, but the issue is that it doesn't even show up on the available networks sometimes it it'll show a network I've never seen. I'll try and post a video about this issue a little later. As I know I'm probably Not getting my point across very well.
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2

Every router is different and each one has security set up different. That's why some you see and some you don't. It is the phones ROM causing issue BUT it can be solved by adjusting settings. Since you can't do that if the router is not yours then you can
A. Wait for a fix
B. Use a sense ROM
C. Turn off WiFi
I have tried myself for a week trying to fix my phone too but I have the know how to only do so much. Good lukk

WiFi tethering for Paranoid Android, Magic Mod, and CM10

I stumbled on this app yesterday, and it was suggested that I post it here. It's a quick easy "fix" for WiFi tethering on these ROMs. In the settings I had to tick "Skip wpa_supplicant" to get it to work, but so far so good. I hope it works for y'all.

If you go ape**** and download a bunch of data, or use it all the time, most likely they will probably catch it.

That's odd I've used barnacle in the past on other phones and it works well only I tried it on my a2 and it didn't work perhaps your using a different version?
Edit: nope same results that I got with the play store version.

Tethering via wifi
Is this possible on the rom? I tried it just laughed at me and called me fat (well it did not work but hey) Making sure i did not miss something.

Did you try using Barnacle or the Wifi tethering for root users apps previously suggested for people with problematic tethering?
Fixing the built-in wifi tethering is a goal, but one that probably needs wifi itself to properly work first. Or at least, to work without needing to be activated through another script...
