[Q] Portable Wi-Fi hotspot & KK 4.4.4 - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm wondering if Portable Wi-Fi hotspot is supposed to work with [ROM][KK 4.4.4] [ KatKiss-KitKat #036 ] [Stable] [MultiWindow] by timduru? So far it doesn't for me... I'm getting:
E/hostapd : Configuration file: /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf
E/hostapd : nl80211: Failed to set interface wlan0 into AP mode
E/hostapd : nl80211 driver initialization failed.
E/hostapd : Failed to initialize interface
Also, where should I put -dd in order to get more info from hostapd?
There is already a similar thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773320, but it seems it starts for them at least. Mine not even that.

It is because maybe you have tf101g not tf101, and you use kernel of tf101. My hotspot don't work when i have kernel tf101. Because, my tab is tf101g, and i use kernel of tf101. If i use kernel of tf101g, the hotspot will work ok

definitely not... I'm sure i have tf101. 10x anyway

Ok, install this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985882 If you have installed. Flash back the kernel stock of rom. Maybe work. If not work, maybe tf101 not work hotspot, because they not come with 3g, and not come with hotspot. With stock kernel at my tf101g my hotspot work good.

Unfortunately mentioned kernel did nor resolve the issue, since it is practically the same as the one from the ROM. So... the question remains the same... is there anyone with timduru's KK 4.4.4 #036 on TF101 that has working Portable Wi-Fi hotspot?
BTW... what/why does Portable Wi-Fi hotspot have to do with/depends on 3G? My intention is not sharing mobile data access, but access files on TF101 from some other device without any wlan infrastructure. Or do I get something wrong?

I just try say, tf101 not come with hotspot. if your hotspot not work with any kernel stock of 4.4 or of page timduru. Install lolipop or re-flash or 4.4 if not. Sorry, your hotspot not work. I'm not saying for sharing 3g, you not have 3g to share.

[Q]Xoom Family Edition, Do you need root to bluetooth tether?

I am trying to connect my rooted \ custom rom \ custom kernel to my Xoom FE MZ505. I get paired, but not connected (no tether option). Any ideas what i can do \ should?
Phone: HTC Evo 3d
Android: 2.3.7
Rom: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-KANG2-Shooter
Kernel: 2.6.35.13-AnthraX-SHOOTER
Tablet: MZ505 Xoom FE
Android: 3.1
Should Have BT tether enabled. I am unsure what app to use, I have wifi tether and trying to get PDAnet on there. Going through ALOT of threads did not help. Most get hung up on wifi tether issues instead of BT.
EDIT:: so basicly I should root it and find a way to add the bluetooth profile to connect to a phone??? Seems to be right. I am trying to connect to the wifi tether program that comes with Cyanogen (in BT mode). Not limited to that app just the one i am using.
BTW - my ip addresses on my phone (terminal) show no bluetooth, possibly because it is not connected

Contacted motorola chat. Basicly his advise was to get an app or unlock the bootloader. thanks a bunches..... ;...;

problem with wifi hotspot

Hi I'm running thiaiz's rom v 2.7.1, not overclocked. Got an issue with connecting to a wifi hotspot that i create on the phone.
I can set up the hotspot and it confirms that it's running then when i try connecting another device to it, with or without password encryption, its says 'unable to connect'.
Is this likely to be a root/rom issue, LG hardware problem or an issue with vodafone?
thanks
rod
Most probably is a ROM issue. It is certainly not a hardware problem or a stock rom problem. I'm using the WiFi Hotspot without a problem with any stock rom.
Thiaiz's original v2.7.1 rom had a problem with the WiFi Hotspot and he released a patch to fix it. Look at the v2.7.1 original thread to download the patch.
Might be entitlement enabled.
At that was what happened to mine with Rogers.

Ad-hoc for CyanogenMod 10/JB

Hey
does somebody have an idea how to connect the TF101 under JB to an ad-hoc network? Or is somebody working on it at the moment ?
Every fix I tried was either for ICS and did not work at all or was designed for another device and was therefore not able to get an ip (but at least I could see the ad-hoc). Or can I somehow try to share the 3G module via USB? It's a symbian phone if it is important.
We definitely need this in wpa_supplicant.
Hello anybody resolve this problem? i too look ad-hoc support at my onda vi40 tablet run at cm10.
Any update?
This is a must have for me... any one can help?

[Q] Katkiss 4.4.2 on TF101G - Hotspot not working

First of all - great work, I love Katkiss
I run 4.4.2 023 on my old TF101G (took a while) with the 101G kernel and so far it works great.
I was able to make a 3G connection via PPPWidget and can now download / update everything, even through PlayStore.
One problem remains though. The 101G also served as a hotspot for my laptop at work and easily connected it via its own WIFI Hotspot.
The Hotspot can still be setup and activated in KatKiss, however no other phone or PC in range actually detects it....
What am I missing?
Thx in advance for all the help

I'm running 4.4.3_29 and seem to be having the same issue. Will try reflashing with the new 4.4.4_30 and try again.

Conectivity problem

Hi guys, I need your help, I have installed SlimKat 8.6 weekly after having the same problem with Dirty Unicorns, and the thing is that I can't connect to the wifi I'm sharing through my network board (The pc is connected to the router with a cable and I share that connection with the network board because I can't get wifi from the living room) and my girlfriend can, with her stock Moto G. It says obtaining ip adress.. or authenticating.. but after a while it says disabled for inestability. What can I do?
I found the solution! The problem seems to be the kernel, the stock kernel or the SlimKat kernel seems to have an issue with the Wifi. I installed xperience kernel and it works awesome!
Hope this helps someone.
Bye!
