I have recently rooted my droid Eris that was on 2.1 via OTA. I then dropped the Vanilla Rom on top of it. i used Wireless tethering for 1st time today and the WEP function wasnt working as other computers connected to it. Any idea why not working, also now it keeps hanging on starting/stopping when turning tethering. finally when I turn on Access Control I get Force close issues.
I believe there is a known bug with trying to enable WEP with Wireless Tether for Root. I would say just disable WEP (i dont know if you have to uninstall/reinstall) and just turn on Access Control.
Use the access control to specify which MAC addresses can connect to the access point.
Ok, thanks I will try that out.
coudlnt get it working with WEP either. but disabled, everything runs fine. drains the battery and sets it on fire tho! just a minute ago it got up to 47.8 C

Hi everyone .. I'm having issues tethering with my a70it through a rooted HTC Dream (G1) with Cyanogen 6.1
I have installed Wireless Tether for root users, and it works fine over wifi with my laptop, but my a70it doesn't see it using wifi, and its a bloody batery sucker.
So I've tried using BT. I change Wireless Tether to use BT, pair de archos and then in options I see the phone ready for tethering. I set it up and when I click on "Tether" I've found two different problems.
Sometimes it just stays "connecting" for a while then says it's impossible to connect, and sometime it connects, I can browse using navigator for some seconds, but then, without doing anything I get network error and I can't use internet anymore... though it stays connected (the little phone in the a70 taskbar keeps showing).
Anyone had this kind of problems? Is there any workaround to make it work?
Thanks!
Moved to general as not rom development
Try this Wireless tether apk, it is a older version and it works perfect for me on my incredible and on my wife moto2.
I have a once rooted (I say once because I'm not sure it still is after doing the OTA updates) that has the APN for tethering. Tethering works fine.
The problem is that when I change the APN back to use AT&T US I don't think the phone is disabling tethering. The reason I think this is because I am running JuiceDefender and it shows that Tether is on. Additionally, the battery life is much shorter than usual and the phone is warm to the touch even when it is just sitting there in standby.
Any ideas on how I can confirm that tethering is indeed still running and/or how I can truly turn it off?
I have tried rebooting the phone, selecting AT&T US Tether (so that I get the message saying that I don't have tethering on my plan) and have tried disabling and re-enabling JuiceDefender.
If you scan for wifi networks does your tether network actually show up?
Nope, I don't see it. It's almost like the phone thinks it needs to keep the cell data connection alive so that it can provide tethering, but without actually providing it.
On my backflip running CM7 from Jr0dd I used to be able to use USB tethering while the phone is connected via wifi with airplane mode on ( in essence turning my phone into a really overdone USB Wlan stick )
On the Atrix with airplane mode on, turning on tethering over USB, everything seems to go okay. The phone can get online via my works wifi router fine. my tethered computer can't ping IP addresses or domain names through terminal though. Rebooted the phone and restarted tethering with the same results. If I disable airplane mode and shut off wifi, tethering over 3G / H+ works fine, its just slow and noisy on speakers.
I used this for computers that have an iffy Wlan card often and would like to know if this was never intended to work, only was a fluke that it did, or if I can show a logcat or similar so someone smarter than I can investigate the issue.
Thanks in advance. =)
Hi all,
I have a problem while connecting to WiFi hotspot feature. I have Feravolt v3 JB rom, Ferakernel.
I am able to activate the Wifi hotspot feature in the phone and its broadcasting fine until I try to connect from my laptop's wireless adapter. The SSID is detected in the wireless networks and when i try to connect, it acquires the ip address and as soon as I get the message 'wireless connected', the phone LED color changes and the phone reboots. I tried both pdanet+ and also the hotspot feature in the rom. both times the phone restarts. I did factory reset and tested hotspot feature before installing any other apps. still the same result. I also tried keeping the phone charged while connecting to hotspot. No luck. I am able to do usb tethering, reverse tethering without any problem. I did not overclock. Just using default settings that came with the rom. disabled sleep policy, kept the screen always on......
My only guess is that might be battery problem and if so any idea how to overcome this problem without buying a new battery.
Anyone had similar problem before or its a first?
Appreciate if someone can guide me if I need to enable or disable any feature.

I'm having an issue with Wifi Tether Treve Mod running rooted stock. Everytime I load up Wifi Tether and attempt to connect my Xbox 360 to it I get an IP Address error. On the Wifi Tether end I am not getting the prompt asking to allow access, and I have enable access control box checked. I tried for 10 hours last night, trying every combination I could think of and none of them worked. Can anyone help me with this or know what could be causing it? Thanks in advance!
