Has anyone happen to figure out a way to get tethering back after updating to the att update? I would really like to up date it but can't lose my tethering.

No dice I guess, I'll wait till something pans out on this to update cuz I can't afford to lose my hotspot. I seen a post that someone was scared about using a lot of data on an unlimited data plan, I use roughly 25-30 gbs a month!!!!! Lol let them try to charge me!!!!!

the Dell 322 update still has the tethering & wifi hotspot working. If you can downgrade to that version, then it could resolve your issues.
I'm not sure how to downgrade from 340 though.
Hope this helps a little!
Use qdl to go back to 305 then upgrade from there to 318 or 322. Why did you go to the at&t version anyway?

I'm on 318, I was just wondering if anyone was able to get tethering back after they updated to 340. Is 322 better then 318 stable wise? I heard 340 wad really stable and fast that's why I was wondering if I could get tethering back I would update but if not I'm happy with what I got.

322 has been more stable than 318 was for me. Added bonus, BT voice dialing works.
can anyone confirm that front facing camera on 322 works on video calls? (yahoo messenger, fring, tango)

Do you have the issue on 322 of the notification drop down coming down randomly? I heard that was an issue with 322.

i am still on eclair stock updated rom..
i am sure it wont hurt trying it bro
Ive had **** gps since 2.2 and in a matter of minutes this app got me 100%...and its raining here so i only went to the window to get signal. DEF recommend trying this.
Installed this (running Bionix Final R1) and it... didn't really do anything. Locks are still incredibly iffy, happening only if I have a very clear view of the sky with absolutely no obstructions. Getting a position fix inside a building is a complete non-starter, just like before.
Thank gods I don't use the GPS much.
So far works very good, I still have to leave the location o am at to try more testing but so far so good.

thats because it only works on the SGH-T959 and SGH-I897, does not work on a GT-I9000, since Macnut R12 has the model number as GT-I9000 it wont work on that either.
We can also extract the apk and get what's inside to take a look into what is beeing done. Please provide an APK
Here you go
I noticed something with this app. In GPS test it can only see me at 20~30 BUT the lbs test says 5~10. Weird, anyways I will post a pic of my locks when I get a chance. So far it locks on spot on and its really accurate.
*edit* Works with my Axura froyo rom!!!!
*edit again* I will also compare the before and after with my friends phone.

ok, best lock so far.
that said, after first run, it finished and put me about 100miles off.
but after reboot i ran "gps test" for 5 mins, and it found 1 more sat, total now at 13, using 9-11.
then opened up maps again and got a lock right on accurate to 5m, gps test says 15ft.
thats the best lock ive ever had on the sam-vib...sweet, tx for the heads up!!
i bought a vibrant during summer when it just came out and did proper research so i could use it in canada with wind. (smartphone+cheap plans)
i have the ji6 but not able to find the new GPS Restore App in the market. phone is unlocked.
Does anyone know why?

The app is for U.S. vibrant and captivates only, but in my OP I uploaded it for people outside the US.
tried this and did nothing for me... Obsidian V5 rom.
Not sure if its the rom or what, but my gps used to work on the stock tmobile rom. and seem to get worse over time lol.
Hey all,
Just had a question and wasn't sure if anyone was actively pursuing this yet.
Has anyone found a way to re-enable the wifi hotspot support within the AT&T 2.2 build that was just released this last week? With one of my past Streaks I was on Dell Unlocked 2.2 build and had some hardware charging issues after putting in all that work to take a ATT 1.6 to Dell (U) 2.2. I'd really like to avoid going backwards from my new att 2.2 to just go forwards to the dell 2.2 that had some stability issues.
I am aware that everyone has different opinions on which one is better so please focus any answers around how would it be possible to restore a native froyo feature to this ATT lockware OS.
Thanks All,

it can't be done. At&t does not want you to use your phone as a wifi hotspot so they removed that feature in the phone. Only way to get it back would be to downgrade back to the stock rom you had before.
If you don't have unlimited data plan go for 340, it's fast and stable, if you have unlimited data plan 318 + performance fix is my first choice although I never had any issues with any of DJ Steve's ROMs they are all kind to my Streak and my Streak loves them back, but having read all the others are posting, would really give you second thoughts. Maybe it is just a matter of following instructions, if you didn't get it right it will be a disaster indeed. I just don't get it,English is just a second language to me but I am able to always get it right, guess that is my advantage, having English as secondlanguage.

I don't have battery issues with 318 plus the performance fix. From 24-36 hours with no problems.
My only complaint so far besides having version 1.6 is getting PdaNet to work on the Streak. Won't accept the modem driver. I had no trouble installing & using PdaNet with the Backflip, iphone3 and Sony X10 I had before this phone??? What do I do?
I like using the phone as modem in places where there is no internet.
Upgrade to 345 or DJ Steve's ROM and you'll be able to teether and be a wifi hotspot.

Is there any way I can get PdaNet to work without upgrading?
I've seen so many different ways to update etc, plus problems if you do it wrong. I'm perfectly happy with version 1.6 if I can get it tethered as a modem.
Is there any other programs like PdaNet out there?

I am ROOTED if that helps any...
Let me ask this in a different way as I'm not getting any answers here yet.
Is ANYBODY using the Streak 5 on version 1.6 as a modem via usb.
If so, how did you do it?
I only have a week before my 30days is up with this phone and if I can't get it to work as a modem via USB, I will return this phone and get another brand.
Something is obviously wrong with the Dell Streak 5 as the other 6 phones I had (see my sig) had no issue using them as a modem for my laptops via PdaNet.
Do you not get the update notification on your ATT version? I just reflashed back to 1.6 from 2.2 and a couple minutes after booting I get the update notification to download build 318. If you need help getting to 318 let me know.

Hello...???
I tether. I run the wireless hotspot. But I also have an unlocked Streak running the 347 ROM (Android 2.2.2). So I don't need to use a tethering app. For me, a quick trip to Settings>Wireless & Networks>Tethering & portable hotspot and I have an option to turn on both the tethering and the WiFi hotspot.
If you're unwilling to upgrade to the latest ROM, you'll have to use something other than PDANet to tether. I mentioned in your other thread regarding tethering on this forum that you should search the market on your computer for a tethering app. But installing StreakDroid would be better because it gets rid of AT&T's useless restrictions. One of those restrictions is tethering. It's disabled on AT&T ROMs.

OK, if upgrading to the latest ROM will allow me to tether using a usb to notebook and getting online with the phone I'll do it.
I find it very strange that PdaNet worked fine without any hitches with my last 6 phones, yet not the Streak. That points to Dell, not AT&T.
Dell botched the introduction of the Streak from day one. The biggest issue is that the Streak should have had 2.1 at a minimum from the first day it was sold. The only other issue I can think of, and this might be part of the reason PDANet refused to run, is that on 1.6 the Streak is, if I recall correctly, locked in landscape mode.
There is much to hold Dell responsible for. Trust me though when I say that changing the phone's ROM will make a dramatic difference.

A Guy over on the "other forum" is having major data dropping issues. I'm curious about the update and wondering why I haven't rec'd it. I'm totally stock. Went into about phone and system updates but it says I'm up to date. But I'm on .744?? Guess they're pushing them slowly as usual...

To get tethering to work with your RAZR. First download the wireless tethering app 3.1 beta 7. Install of course. Phone must be rooted. Also download rom
manager and open rom Manager and and go to. Fix permissions let that run. And the restart phone. Now tether your heart out.

I updated a moment ago from stock to stock.
So far it seems to be smoother. I meant really reminding me of the word "silky"
but I can't get Vibrant Feedback of stock multitouch keyboard to work even I ticked it at settings.
Sound feedback of the multi touch keyboard is fine.
Anyone else having issue like this?
The physical key haptic feedback when I press anything is still there. So I assume it is the software issue only.

There have been a lot of 3G and 4G outages in the past several days. Make sure you're not a victim of that. There are DEFINITE issues this morning. I don't have the update installed, totally stock phone - and yesterday and today I have no 4G at work. I'm on a 4th floor by a window. I normally have a great 4G connection here.
Everyone Else: There's no trick you can do at this point to get the update. It's not released officially, it's only been sent out to a few beta testers. You are either going to get it by checking for the update, or not. Eventually they'll release it to everyone soon.
I'm in the same boat as mistawolfe, the update has made things much worse for me on the data side. On my way to work today, I had NO data for more than half the time, and only 3G the other half of the time. While at home, I have always had strong 4G and that has not changed after the update. But at work yesterday after I applied the update, it was the same thing, only 3G or NO data. Same today, more than half the time I have no data, and the other half only 3G. Going back and forth between no data and data is unacceptable. 3G/4G switching is fine, but this is horrible. 1/2 the time I can't even use the data. Terrible. I would not recommend this update.

I just flashed Eclipse the other day after updating 418 soak and my wifi is constantly resetting every 5-7 minutes.

Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
I had to stop using Eclipse because of no or unreliable wifi since switching to 2.3.5. Both 412 and 413, even in stock, would fail on wifi. 418 seemed better but still dropped. Back on 2.3.4 w/ CM7, and although wifi still has issues it's no where near the problems I had on 2.3.5. I just can't wait to be able to upgrade off this piece of crap that some call a smartphone.
