Hey guys If I am in the wrong place, please let me know. I got my TF300T just a little while ago and am now trying to use it as a my main computer. That requires me to able to connect to the net on it. It works just fine when I am connected to a regular WiFi network. However, I have no Internet connection at home except for my Sprint Motorola Photon Q, which I had been using tethered over USB to my PC to get the PC online. That worked fine. But this past month, I lost my job and needed to sell the PC, so all I have left is the TF300T. I was sure it'd work fine since I got BT tethering to work fine in the past with that phone. However, I was just experimenting at that point. Now, I see it's a little more ... complicated:
I set my Photon Q to act as a WiFi hotspot using PDANet+ a.k.a. FoxFi. Creating a WiFi hotspot, I can see it on the TF300T. Whether I enter the right PSK2 key or don't use encryption at all, connecting is impossible. It will "Authenticate...." after a minute or so and then try to get an IP via DHCP. Then it will "work" a long time and then drop the connection and try again. This is with the phone an inch away. I found it had a lot of trouble just getting an IP, so I tried setting it up with a static IP. I found out that PDAnet+ seems to default to 192.168.43.111 and the gateway is presumably 192.168.43.1. I tried some other things like .100 without luck. It WILL connect but the WiFi strength indicator in the bar stays gray. It shows up and down arrows as though there's activity, and Excellent strength, but won't actually work in any apps, incl. the default Android browser. Also tried pinging the host phone using the terminal only to get Destination Host Unreachable errors.
I then tried Bluetooth tethering. It will connect and works at a decent rate. But, the only programs that work are web browsers! IM clients, Skype, Google Play, Maps, Gmail, nothing else can connect. Android is convinced I am not online at all, yet I can browse web pages at full speed, which I am doing right now. IIRC PdaNet uses some bizarro proxy setup but they tell you on their site to "configure the proxy settings" and give you none of the details like IP or port! How useful. So, this does me little good. It's horribly crippled.
I tried numerous other WiFi tether apps, most of which hard crash the Photon Q so it reboots entirely the moment it turns on the hotspot. Barnacle and one of the WiFi tether apps (1-click? I've tried so many I can barely remember...) will launch, I can see it on the TF300T, but when I try to connect it says "ANDROIDTETHER or whatever the SSID is, Saved". No matter how many times you choose Connect or Forget, then Connect again, nothing. Gets stuck at "Saved."
I'd try connecting the phone via USB via the TF300T dock but I have searched heavily and cannot find any way to do it. Do I have any options at all?
Thank you for any info.
Hi
I'm tethering Internet from my SGS 1 with 4.2.2 rom with no problem at all. I think you have problem with wifi settings.
Try to set both phone and tab wifi to correct region. If you have phone set to USA and tab to Europe it won't work. You'll find it under Wireless-advanced if you have customised roms, for stock I don't know how to set it. Haven't have stock roms for ages.
About proxy, basic proxy settings in Android works only for browser, so you will need something like proxydroid on your client. I'm using it and for me it is working. For settings, check your phone settings-mobile networks-access points and copy them from there, or call your ISP and ask them for settings.
Hope this helps.
WiFi tether for root users. Is the best thing ever. If you aren't rooted. Root your phone. Also, is there a cm ROM available for your phone? If so, switch. Then use it's default tethering. Your phone is definitely the culprit here.

Unfortunately no CM ROM exists for that phone. It is rooted. I tried wifi tether for root-- played with all the settings.... it will turn on and the SSID shows up on the TF300T .. but if you try to connect it just says "Saved." Even though it also says Signal quality is "Excellent"...
I don't get it at all.

Try different profiles. I tried my EVO LTE last night for 2 hrs. Tried all generic settings. I ended up switching it to sg3 profile same chipset as mine. Worked fine after that.

Great suggestions guys! I seem to be making some progress. I can now "connect" and get an IP, but the "wifi signal" bar thingy in the lower-right stays gray, not blue like it usually is when on working WiFi, and apps still cannot get to the net, which I assume is what the gray means (network connection but no internet connection). I will have to go down the list and try every possible configuation, I suppose. Yikes! I'll keep at it...
Thank you!

Hi,
I have an Asus Tablet running Android Honeycomb v3.0.1. I have installed Google Earth v2.0.1 in it. But whenever I open the Google Earth Application, It waits on the main app screen for 15 seconds, then gives me this error message:
"Alert !
Google Earth can't connect to the network right now. Please quit and try again later."
Just FYI, I do have WIFI connected and running while opening this app. I have been getting this error since the time I bought my tablet (10 days ago). I have tried uninstalling and re-installing this app, but to no avail.
Waiting for a useful reply. Its a shame I am not able to access such a wonderful app on a nice 10inch screen.
Thanks.
2.0.1 works fine on mine. Strange.
Works fine for me too...

Im having the same issue :-(
Same issue with mine. Cannot connect to the network.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled as well.
Between this and the backlight bleed i'm none too happy. With all the good reviews this thing has been getting i'm a tad disapointed.
Just did the 3.1 update and it's still not working. Anyone have any ideas how to get google earth working? Every time it's cannot connect to network.
Have you tried master reset?
no i didn't try a master reset. Google earth was like the second or third thing i put on this after i opened the box and it didn't work straight off. I've seen a few other posts around the web as well with people with the transformer and this same problem and not one solution.
I would give factory reset a try...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
you can try to clear the cache of Google earth through the applications option in the configuration menu. That trick did help me a couple of times when apps did not work!
Ok did a factory reset. Went through the initial setup and the FIRST and only app i installed was google earth. Still the exact same problem. Cannot connect to the network.
The other computers on my network can access google earth fine but they are hard wired to the router. I just tried my phone over wifi and it can't connect either so it has to be something with my wifi settings on my router. But i'm stumped as to what it might be. Everything is set pretty much default. UPNP is on, just using wep for security.
Any ideas?
** Update
Stumbled onto another thread for a similar problem. I changed my DNS server in my router to googles DNS and suddenly it works. I don't even claim to understand why. Wired computers were fine, anything wireless didn't work until i switched the DNS server away from my ISP to google's. Any possible reason for this?
Your ISP is filtering/throttling.
Hmm, I'm also having this problem too. GE works on my wifi from my PC, and my phone, but not on my pad. I've tried changing the DNS in my router to google's (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4), but still the same.
If I tether to my phone through 3G, works fine on the pad. Must be something with my router/network, but when it works on my PC & phone on wifi, I can't figure out why it won't work on the transformer!
Any solutions/ideas??

It sounds like your ISP is unable to resolve the google earth server's address.
Thanks for the response, but if was an ISP problem, wouldn't that also mean my phone and pc would have the same problem?
I'm far from being any way knowledgeable when it comes to networking, but I thought that would be the case??
C.
Same problem here.
An of course Google Maps works on the TF101 (it should look at same servers...), and Google Earth works on other PCs & telephones connected to same home network, so ISP DNS is not the cause.

No don't think that's the case. Every other computer on the same network was able to access it just fine through the same router and same ISP. It was only my phone and TF101 trying wirelessly. Even another wirless computer on the network was able to access it, it was ONLY the android devices that were having a problem.

I've managed to try my pad on another wi fi network & it works fine on that system, but not on my home network, which will support Google Earth on my phone & PC, so the problem must be router/network related, but I'm damned if I can figure it out.

Have you tried what i did to see if it works for you as well? Go into your router and find the section regarding DNS and switch it to 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4 and see if it works.
OK so I have had my Transformer for 2 days now and so far it has been little more than a paper weight. I have not been able to download a single app from the market. I've tried everything suggested here (cancel/restart, reboot, etc) with no luck. I have not been able to even update Google Maps or install Flash Player, literally I have not been able to install anything. I've tried stock and rooted plus I cannot get any version of Prime to install (finally got the root and CWM installed). Lastly, since this is a Wifi only device it is important to wireless tether with my cellphone. Two days and I still cannot get it to work, will not even find the device. Only 2 days of ownership and I am completely frustrated with this thing. I really like and want the micro SD capabilities but if I can't resolve this ASAP it will need to go back to the store.
Anyone have any suggestions on what all I can try? Please help!
Sorry, I'm a little busy to look for the direct links.
Just look-for the vanilla NVFlash then add the Prime 1.5 (nvflash version). Dump them together into a folder then run the batch file. Simple !
I just helped two co-workers with their brand-new TFs getting rooted this way.
Maybe 5-10 minutes top.
Make sure you unzip the downloaded Prime file (it becomes 4 files). Read the NVFLASH post and have the USB driver ready.
Thanks man I'll give it a shot here shortly
Good luck.
And if you ever have a need to get back to stock (refund maybe ?), there is a stock-ROM (nvflash version), just as easy to get back.

You don’t have to root or flash with a custom rom to get the basic stuff like Wi-Fi. Everything works out of the box as advertised. If something doesn't then either you are doing something wrong or there is a fault with your device. Did you try connecting to a normal Wireless Router? Honeycomb can not see some types of adhoc networks without installing a patch (i.e created by Windows, this may be applicable to some phones too, however it worked fine with My Galaxy S).

Hi, sometime the problem is in the market. not the device itself. I got similar experience with my HTC device. I've installed many ROMs but the market always screwed. So what I did was, just reset your device, when it asks the Google account, type in your email like this: [email protected] instead of just blablabla or [email protected]

I guess your phone is offering up an adhoc connection, which Android doesn't support out of the box. It should work fine with phones that offer up a true infrastructure hotspot. Personally, I think adhoc networks should die a horrible death, but I appreciate their necessity if that's all your phone can do.
Search for adhoc and you should find a solution to this issue. You can also try PDAnet (tablet) too.
Regards,
Dave
Maybe bad flash? try re-flash ROM again.

Ad hoc issue appears to be most relevant.

Don't know if this helps, But I just discovered that the Transformer doesn't seem to like hidden SSID.
Mine connects fine if the SSID is shown, but once I hide the SSID it said out of range.
My EVO 3D, iPod, TV all work with it hidden.
Does someone know if you can setup the TF to connect with hidden SSID?
Thanks
Thanks for the advice all. I don't have a custom ROM on it yet, just rooted. I can't get the zips to work. Says cannot open (bad). Will try re-downloading for a 5th time and see how goes it. I did figure out the wifi issue on my phone - it was ad hoc as stated and it recognizes my phone now but still won't download apps (says it's downloading but never does). Tried cancelling and restarting several times as well as factory resetting the device. Does the same thing when I connect to my home network as well.

My Wifi network is hidden and I had no issue connecting my TF.
What type of router and what settings does it have?
I am using a NetGear WNDR3700 (802.11-g,n). The TF connects to the 2.4 GHz section over 802.11n.
Is it wise to be playing with recovery images and custom ROMS, if you can't get basic market functionality working?
Clearly before changing your TF from stock, get the market working, this is almost certainly a probem with your Wifi router...
The only problem I am aware of with the Transformers Wifi, is sometimes it does not getting a DHCP address when coming back from sleep (use Static IP), the TW release has this fixed, but the WW does not for some reason, i'm guessing they know 3.2 is incoming soon.
Follow these steps to get the market working:
I don't exactly know what the problem is, but I've had it on a couple of phones before. I do NOT have a googlemail account, so that wasn't the problem.
I deleted all cache/data from the following programs: Market, MarketUpdater, Downloads, Download manager, googleapps (anything that seems relevant)
now first go on a computer, open your gmail via gmail.com, send a mail, edit some contacts, just make sure you do something! Now reboot your eee pad, accept the market policies and see if it works....
If this doesn't fix it, then I have no options left
Update: I ultimately returned my TF (I had already suspected that I didn't receive a new device due to other issues and packaging). I received the new TF yesterday (A+ to Amazon.com). The new TF was 1000x better. Loaded right up, connected, market apps loaded easily, quickly and on the first try. All in all I am pleased. And the root and ROM installs worked flawlessly. Actually enjoying my TF now. Thanks all for the advice and help!

Hello. My phone connects when I go to other people's houses or at school, but not at my house. My router is set up with a WiFi access list so that you need to enter the MAC address before being allowed to even see the network. I have triple checked that the WiFi MAC address from my phone is entered correctly as I did everything else. Does anyone have some advice?

Make sure the channel is set to one which your device supports.
I downloaded an app called wifi analyzer; will that help me find which channel to set it to? How do I know which are supported.

Go to the wifi settings (on your device) and see what channel it is set to (usually under regulatory domain).
maybe you should set the maximum number of channels, otherwise some routers might be excluded.
controls which channel is your router and then try to configure the connection manually.
Sorry for the late reply; I have been pretty busy.
I tried a variety of different channels but none of them seem to work. I had seen that the phone does not work on Channel 13 but that did not seem to be the problem. I have also tried changing the security password type on my router but that did not work either. Are there any other suggestions? Thank you again.
your router is wireless network is to advanced for phone allow you network to be seen and just have to enter a password to work it will work been there

Anyone have luck connecting to a PEAP AP with credentials, I tried some apps that don't seem to work? I can't connect at my University.
Photon Q
I haven't been able to join my work's network with the photon q either. Someone in my thread suggested "explicitly trusting" the certificate but I haven't had the chance to see if the network team is competent enough to do that.
Other people at work also have other motorola phones with ICS so I'll ask them if they can connect. I haven't seen any other devices struggle like the photon q. It just constantly says connecting and then giving up. I can manually set everything correctly and it doesn't matter, if I don't manually create the profile it never asks for the rest of the information.
I'm really at a loss but if sprint's LTE announcements hold true in a couple weeks it may not even matter (assuming an LTE signal is even remotely discoverable).
same for me, I'm just hoping for an JB update soon(yeah right) cause LTE will never be here, but we don't even have wimax. thanks

I know... I do miss my evo shift's wimax, sometimes my work network was so crappy that I'd just wirelessly tether to my phone and got much better speeds.
Interesting that you noted JB. Is the general consensus that Motorola is rather slow about releasing OS updates? My co-worker with the Droid 4 just got ICS a few weeks ago while the Galaxy Nexus has been starting to get JB on sprint.
Successful connect to EAP
Well, my university has 802.1x EAP for wifi encryption. I was unable to connect from my Photon Q using the wifi settings. I have, however, found a workaround. It consists of using this app "WiFi Connection Manager" (Sorry I can't post the link)
I added the network manually through this app, and my phone connects to the network automatically.
Ill write down the steps for my University's network:
1) Click on the app "WiFi Manager"
2) Click on the menu button inside the app
3) "Manual Add Network"
4)Put in the credentials
5) Click Add
6) the phone should connect to the Enterprise network now.
Hopefully it works for everyone who needs it.

I'll have to give this a shot when I go to work tomorrow, I had the network director fiddling with my phone for a while and checking the AP manager and they just weren't talking properly. We loaded our certificate onto the phone as well and that had no effect.
EDIT: IT WORKED. Oddly enough the APs showed up as WPA/WPA2 PSK in the program, but when I manually created the profile with the settings that I know are correct it did eventually connect and work.
good work guys, my univeristy just switched over to peap and this thread helped.
Thanks, guys. Once I had gotten my Photon Q back in late September, I was able to connect to my Universities' wi-fi, although it was kind of a pain because I had to delete and re-create the network profile a few times before it would work. A few weeks ago, though, we had a security certificate expire, and so for the past three weeks I've been unable to connect to our wi-fi. Using the WiFi Connection Manager to manually create the profile worked like a charm though!
In case people are curious, our Universities wi-fi is 802.1X EAP/PEAP using MSCHAPv2 as Phase 2 authentication.

Thanks for this thread, and thanks for this post. I had the same thing happen. My work wifi showed WPA/WPA2, ect., and I could not enter my credentials. We also have an open wifi, which the program kept logging into automatically, but it doesn't work for me because it doesn't allow ssl. So, I had to delete the open network, go to the settings to filter the scan to ignore open networks, then add the secure network manually with all the credentials entered. Then it worked.
I am having issues regarding Wifi hotspot on Pie.
1. My laptop find it very difficult to find the hotspot. Sometimes I have to restart the hotspot 2-3 times before the network shows up on my laptop. On Oreo, this was always instant and worked immediatly.
2. In the last few days using a hotspot from the phone and my laptop I have had issues regarding DNS/internet. Even though my laptop is connected to the hotspot network, it doesn't have any internet access. When browsing the web on my laptop, all DNS requests always fails. It happens whenever I try to navigate to a site and tries to ping a url from CMD. But if I try to ping a ip address, let say 1.1.1.1, that works fine! I can also use my browser on my phone without any issues at all. The laptop works fine on any other network and the phone works well on its own but the hotspot causes great problems. It sounds to me that for some reason when using a hotspot, DNS requests doesn't come through properly. Also, if I connect to a VPN on my laptop, eveything works, even DNS requests but my VPN is somewhat unreliable so it constantly disconnects so that is not a viable solution for me.
Anyone experiencing similar problems? It's really annoying because now I can't get any work done on my daily commute.

@thugslug @jbm76 I know you guys had an issue with hotspot. Is this the same problem?

I can't remember what thread you wrote the adb commands that might fix it? Was going to direct him to that post.

Yep that fixed for me ??
adb shell settings get global tether_dun_required
If the result is "null" or "1"
adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Reboot phone

His first problem I don't have, but it's the second that's the same issue as mine.
Obviously he's never searched or he'd have found my lengthy post not very far back.
The solution is there too.
I've never tried turning the VPN on to see if I get through access to the internet that way. I can't now as I've applied the fix @jbm76 found, and I don't really want to back out the fix to try it.
Definitely an area where pie has gone backwards. For those of us affected anyway.
Edit.... Sorry, I didn't note that this was a new thread.
My post is in the OB4 thread (which I at first thought this was). I'm tired and didn't look well enough.

If you get errors at the cmd prompt make sure usb debugging is set 'on' on the phone.
Followed the commands and it seemed to do the trick! Many many thanks!

Most people it works straight away. What region are you in?

Sweden.
I want to remember that it did work before, then I have to reflash Pie again and that's when the issues started.
I still wanted to say that I still suffering from the first problem, having difficulties actually finding the hotspot at all.
Its very odd. This problem has started to arise again. I tried running adb shell settings get global tether_dun_required again but I get the answer that it is 0 so that looks fine. I haven't updated anything since I had this problem the last time.
Folks,
To provide some more info and more things to try if you are rooted (I am in the US on T-Mobile). These instructions should also help you avoid tethering detection using the standard Android tethering options if you wish to.
1) Go into settings --> system --> developer options and turn off Tethering hardware acceleration. This will make sure all tethering routing is done by Android at the software level and not by Qualcomm's chipsets (so following steps will apply).
2) As suggested, put global tether_dun_required 0. Note you can also do this from a command prompt by typing su (get root access) and typing setting put global tether_dun_required 0. What this does is route tething traffic over the same APN as phone traffic, and not the hidden tethering APN that some carriers put on the sim cards.
3) Install Change TTL and in settings set it to run a boot and set TTL to 64. This ensures that all traffic leaving your phone will have a TTL of 64 and look like it is coming from the phone. (I am pretty sure this also set's ipv6 hop limit, as TMobile in the US is all IPv6 and this hides traffic.)
Reboot. If you still have trouble -- try Android's USB option to see if it is WiFi related vs Tethering system related.
- Verify that global tether_dun_required is still 0 after reboot (it should be if you are rooted).
- Delete the WiFi entry on your computer and re-join the phone's network -- sometimes it is on your computer's side.
Another thing to try is Easy Tether -- this is a good USB tethering option that won't use Android tethering system and it is guaranteed to route traffic over the phone's network APN.
If the issue is DNS, you can isolate that by manually putting a DNS (8.8.8.8) into the tethered computer to see if that is the issue.
Also, google search xda VPN Hotspot. This app has a ton of options to change Android's tethering routing even if you are not using a VPN. This may also help you figure something out. You can activate tethering, then go in here and turn on the wlan interface and it should route traffic directly to that (which should be happening anyways because of tether_dun_required = 0).
Good luck!

Hi and thank you for your post. It seems that windows had changed dns settings by its own to something invalid, so that is why it didn't work. However I am still having connection issues. Mainly I find it very difficult to connect my laptop (and other devices) to the hotspot of the Oneplus 6.
1) Done.
2) Done.
3) It was already set at 64 but I tried setting in to 64 again.
DUN is still 0 after reboot. I have also removed the wifi from my PC and changed name on the hotspot. Also tried both 2.4 and 5 Ghz. When the pc is connected the hotspot, I can ping google succesfully, so internet works but not DNS, all requests in my browser times out. I have also tried setting DNS to external providers in the phone (not sure if if affects the hotspot though). I looked at easy tether but root version was pretty expensive. I also googled XDA VPN Hotspot but I'm not sure which app you mean. Do you have the link?
Right now I'm just thinking of factory resetting the phone and installing the latest oxygen version (I'm still on 9.0.0.0).
Here is even more testing:
What I am experiencing is that there are grave problems trying to connect when in an area with a lot of wifi networks.
I live on the countryside and I thought I would try using hotspot for a couple of times. Thing is, at home, sharing hotspot from the phone to my laptop always works instantly, both on 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz. I might add that there are basically no wifi networks interfering where I live, except for my own. When I start my bus ride in the morning from my house to a city were I work, the hotspot usually works pretty good. But it's when I'm going home that I am start having problems. In the city, there is probably around 50-100 wifi networks when I start the ride home. And that's when it usually is impossible to connect the hotspot to the laptop. However, when leaving the city and entering the highway, it is usually easier. I have these connection problems on both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz and if it does connect, 2.4 is hideous, it disconnects all the time.
So the conclusion for me is that it is having a very hard time connecting when there are a lot of wifi networks around. However, It never seemed to be a major problem on Oreo, only on Pie.

Seems more like WiFi / Computer related than phone. Did you try USB tethering? Is DNS get manually set in your computer by something else you installed?

USB tethering works fine, dns as well. Its just the connection, it is very difficult to connect anything to the Oneplus 6 in wifi crowded areas.
Will this effect Bluetooth tethering too? Or is there another command for that? Dang built in hot spot get horrible speed after this setting is set, at least be on T-Mobile.
Hi guys,
I also face a strange issue, the connected devices to the hotspot it keeps disconnected after some time.. 1min, 5min, 15min...is random and annoying. Dose anyone face this issue to? Tried diferent fixes but nothing works, it remained to do a factory reset to see if the problem persist..
