Iv been having this issue for a few months and I tried searching around, couldnt find anything thats exactly like my problem
anyways, I have tried different versions of wireless tether and stil have this problem
80% of the time I launch the app, and start the tether, my laptop will recognize it and connect for only about 10 seconds. after the 10 seconds, my laptop will disconnect from the phone like the wifi network has been lost for "android_tether"
I have to keep start and end tether and reconnect and disconnect on my laptop's end as well... and finally if I am lucky, after rebooting both devices, it will randomly work without flaws.
what is the issue?... what can I do?...
thank you very much xda.

Which application are you using to wirelessly tehter? are you using any kind of encryption?
If you are running a custom rom there should be a setting under the wireless settings heading where you can activate and deactivate wireless tethering, i use this feature in place of any other tethering application as it seems to work the best with and without encryption.

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.
So I know wifi in android is buggy, this isn't a question about that.
My Touchpad won't connect to my wireless network at work. (in webOS or android) It always fails the IP configuration part. My android phone connects fine, and my laptop, and my iPad.
Kind of kills the usefulness of the tablet for me. Wondering if I should call up HP before my 90days are up.
Thanks in advance
I have had no issues with webOS 3.0.2 or 3.0.4 at work or home (and I run a number of access points at both locations). Always connects by itself everytime. Too early to tell with 3.0.5 but no issues so far.
Have you tried other routers? It could be just some issue with your router. Have you tried to manually assign an IP, I know you can in android.

It connects to my home network fine, just not the work one. Tried manually assigning an IP and that didn't work in either OS. Going to install the update to webOS and see if that fixes things.
As poster above mentioned, corporate/work networks seem to be the only thing that webOS MIGHT not play well with occasionally. I've gotten it to successfully connect to my work's 802.1x EAP network. It actually worked quite well, but then sometimes it stumbles a bit before connecting.
For the most part though, webOS wifi works just fine. Of course, this is because HP dev'd it with the drivers they have, that we DONT have, and most likely will never have.
Wifi now connects on both OS's after updating webOS to 3.05
Lol go figure

It hasn't before for you? I'm curious about your experience.
The deal with Wifi in android is multi-faceted:
1. Accessing the wifi options sometimes crashes the thing, and you have to force close the settings app and try again.
2. With Wifi on, the wifi menu can be quite sluggish
3. A lot of times, it wont even scan for networks. It just says disconnected for ages, or will eventually scan, then try to connect, but never get past "Acquiring IP address".
4. A lot of times it will randomly lose its connection, yet still indicate that it's connected just fine. A toggling of the wifi usually fixes this, but also starts you at square 1 with attempting to connect to an AP. For some people, this process can be a nightmare.
5. Some people simply cannot connected to their secured network at all. Period.
Are you experiencing any of these issues still?

Before update:
never had any problems with wifi at all, except it just wouldn't connect to either of my two networks at work in either OS. Neither OS could get past the IP config stage. Tried manually assigning IPs in both OS's but that accomplished nothing. Home 5ghz network zero issues.
After update:
Instant connection, no issues.
I didnt had a problem connecting to the internet via wifi in my house... but today it is not working. It does connect to wifi, but when I try to go to a website, it doesn't takes me to it. It works everywhere else, laptop, xbox, but not on my phone. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Maybe your router only supports a limited number of devices and your phone is pushing it over that limit. Also, you could try switching the Wi-Fi frequency band in the Advanced Wi-Fi settings from "Auto" to whichever frequency your Wi-Fi operates on.

Have you rebooted your router by pulling the power cable and then putting it back in place again.
A router will often refuse an Internet connection from a mobile device that regularly disconnects and re-connects all the time. This is normal and happens to laptops for mobile users all the time.

I am having trouble with wireless tether on my phone. Whenever I have it running, it stops working after about 10 minutes. Any device says it is still connected, but all web pages just time out. If I go in to airplane mode or restart the phone, the connection starts working fine again, until it times out. I have tried Wifi tether for root users, FoxFi and the entitlement check, but I have the same results with all three.

Which ROM are you using?
Hi,
I have a wireless router that allows me to plug in a Hard drive / SD Card etc. It can be a bridge to another network or an Access Point etc but can also just be a LAN without an internet connection allowing access to the connected devices.
This works perfectly on my Nexus tablet / PC etc, however, on my Mate 20 Pro, the connection is unstable to the point of not being able to use it. I get a notification saying the WiFi connection doesn't have an internet connection I press connect anyway and from there it keeps dropping and reconnecting the connection.
If I plug the router into a network point and give it an internet connection it works perfectly on the Mate 20 and any other devices.
I think this is some clever connection manager thing Huawei is doing to try to connect to the internet but can't find a way to stop it. I am going travelling and wanted to only take the router and my phone however it is looking like I will need to take my tablet too to use it for what I need.
I've searched and searched the internet and here for clues but nothing so I am hoping someone has an idea.
Thanks
Andrew
