I have a Motorola Xoom and it does not support ad-hoc networks so I was wondering if there are any roms for the eris that would work with bluetooth tethering as GSB 2.8 does not work and it just reboots my phone when I attempt it. So if anyone knows an eris rom that would tether through bluetooth that would be great. Also I dont want to root my Xoom as its still new and has the latest android software.

well where is your tethering failing, because I'm running GSB 2.8 as well but I have no problem bluetooth tethering, I'm no beast with this ****, but what is your overclock set to? idk if your just getting a freeze and reboot that could be it
Ok after flashing just about every rom that is available for the eris i have found no real answer why my phone crashes and reboots when tethering via bluetooth I know on the hero(sprint) it works and they have no problem and our phone is the exact same thing internally so now im stumped.

Hey so I was wondering if you got this problem figured out because I'm in the exact same boat
eris and bluetooth tethering
Not sure if this is resolved, sorry for the duplicate post if it is. I was working on this same issue and came across this older thread. I am using my Eris with gsb3.6 and pdanet tablet. This worked fine for me.

I don't know if this is the right section or not. Its a question so I assume this is right.
I have a droid eris flashed to cricket with eris lightning 3.02, running fw ver. 2.1. Everything works except after I start wireless tethering, the market always says there is a network problem try again. The only way to fix it is to restart my phone.
The market works before I start the tethering, tethering works fine. Even after killing the tethering app everything else still works, other apps can connect fine, it is only the market.
I have been looking around but cant seem to find anyone else with this problem. Its not a huge problem, just a minor annoyance I want to get fixed.
Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks!
Have you tried Google Talk after running tether? May not be related to your problem, I just know there is a dependency.
I have an unrooted Asus Transformer running stock 3.1 and I'm trying to connect to the internet in any way I can through my Samsung Fascinate. My fascinate is rooted and running MIUI 1.7.1.3 with the 2.6.35.7-otb-cfs-fascinatemtd+ kernel.
I have tried the built in hotspot mode, Wireless Tether for Root Users (several variations of 2.0.7 and 3.0 and 3.1), Barnicle. I've tried wifi, BT and USB tethering and nothing works. The closest I get is witht he built in hotspot and Wifi Tether, both of which I can get it to see my fascinate but it gets hung up on "obtaining an IP..." Barnicle didn't work at all because I couldn't get infrastructure mode, only ad hoc. I can't use Wireless Tether with BT because for some reason this option is greyed out. I've also tried going legit and paying though VZW but that didn't work.
I've read the thread about reprovisioning my fascinate with qpst or something but can't figure out how to do it. I have a feeling my biggest problem is MIUI or my kernel. Can anyone suggest a kernel and/or ROM for my Fascinate that will allow me to sucesfully tethter?
Any other than the muiu or cm7 mtg builds should work. Those builds are very different from our source built stuff.

This seems to be a problem with the both CM7 and MIUI at the moment. Barnacle works, but only provides ad hoc networking. That's fine if you want to tether a PC or laptop, but won't work for tethering an android tablet. At the moment, there is no off the shelf solution for tether tablets, though there is a method that involves rooting and altering the tablet so that it can work on ad hoc networks.
I've been able to tether using 3rd party wireless tether on both miui and cm7 with no problems
Im on latest MIUI and im using wireless tether 2.0.5-pre13 and it works flawlessly for me.
hi
haven't used the teather but does anyone know if the hotspot charges you or is it "free"
Same problem on Motorola Defy - MIUI
I have the same problem on Moto Defy with MIUI.
The "Wireless Tether for Root Users" was perfectly able to tether in infrastucture mode on Moto Defy with Eclair and Froyo.
In MIUI the same software id doesn't! It's just able to tether in ad-hoc mode.
Quite a big limitation.
Is there a solution to the AP tethering issue with MIUI. Did anyone get it to work?
Hello XDA Developers,
I have an HTC thunderbolt, I'm running Cm7.1, the newest release that came out yesterday. My issue is that wifi or USB tethering do not work. Whether I connect usb tethering and enable the feature from the phone, or enable wifi tethering and connect through my laptop, the network connects, but then says no internet access and/or limited or no connectivity. My laptop connects to wifi internet fine.
I've had this problem for every iteration of CM7 for thunderbolt since June. Before moving to CM7, i remember trying tethering once or twice and it did not work. I've just decided now to try and get tethering working.
I've tried using the wi-fi tether app from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list as well as barnacle wifi tether, both have the same problem.
My main questions would be:
1. Is there any reason I have overlooked as to why tethering does not work on my phone? Is there some new verizon block to tethering for root users? Are there any settings I could try to get this working?
2. Are there any known issues with CM7 and thunderbolt tethering?
3. It seems weird if it was a hardware issue since my laptop does actually connect to the phone, it just has no network connectivity.
Thanks!
I had a similar issue and fixed it by downloading the open garden wifi tethering app https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether and changing the network to open on that app as well as the built in cm7 app. Then enable both apps and it should connect. Did for me.

Newest release came out about 20 minutes prior to your post CM7.1.1...check the rootz thread.
I've seen reports of this before. If memory recalls correctly, the devices weren't acquiring an IP correctly. Once you have it tethered, on the laptop/device try releasing and renewing your IP or disabling/enabling the adapter.
You are not the only person having this problem. I'm having this problem too and have not found a fix for it yet. I've found a pattern though, any ROM that I've loaded that was a build or based off of CM7, had the tethering problem. And as stated above, the problem about not acquiring and ip correctly is exactly what's happening.
Hopefully a dev or someone else can come along help resolve this problem. Apparently this problem is not very widespread as it seems that very few peeple have this problem.
Thank you everyone for your help.
keith.mcintyre26, I tried your suggestion of open garden wifi app, and it worked perfectly, just installed it and it worked. CM7 wifi tether still does not work though.

I tried the app as well and It didn't work I am in a tricky area when it comes to data coverage though so I can't help but think that might be it? Unrelated: Sometimes I lose data coverage altogether (drops out, comes back, drops out, etc) when I'm in 4G coverage areas. Maybe the two are related,

I know this is not the problem where I live as I'm in full signal.
I just got onto this ROM, after being on BAMF Forever, forever, and LOVE IT. My only complaint and possibly a show-stopper -- Wi-Fi Tether doesn't work, and neither does the built-in tether app.
I've done a complete wipe. The client connects, but doesn't DHCP.
Any ideas?

Quick update -- Open Garden works...
Strange... But I guess I'm all set
I had/have the same problem with cm7 and bamf1.86. I finally got cm7 tether last night using barnacle, but it was at .3 mbs. I have yet to top 1mbs. That was with 4g(or so it said.) I have tried the included wifi tether, usb tether, barnacle, and open garden. Nothing works properly on either rom. Signal was between -80 and at worst -90.

Seems to be a common issue across newer roms lately for wifi tether.
I got mine fixed by downloading the newest experimental build.
Once installed go into settings, Check Disable wake lock, check wifi driver reload, also check routing fix. Furthermore, make sure you select the proper device, should be the first option once you open settings.
Ok so a bought a thunderbolt back in Nov but returned it cause I kept having issues with the hot spot and got the rezound which turned out to be even worse so now I am back to another thunderbolt after having tried a bionic as well. I have tried several different roms trying to get one that works well for hot spot and so far the only one that was somewhat stable(CyanogenMod 7.1.1) quit working after I put it in airplane mode and i wound up having to start over to fix the issues. So now I am running 2.11.605.5 after having downgraded from 2.11.605.9 so I have the radio and lte upgrade from the latest ota. I have looked around on the forum thread about the different roms but i havent really found any postings about how the hot spot has been working I have found a couple of roms that just flat out say that the hotspot isnt working at all and have avoided them but for the most part I havent found any that say if its stable or not. So the short of it is that I want to find a rom that is stable for hot spot use. Gotta give the bionic credit for the hot spot use. That thing was great but it has the worst screen I have seen so far on an android phone. Any help would be awesome in finding a rom that is good for this
Well is it the built in hot-spot that isn't working? If so just download Wireless Tether or Open Garden and go on tethering.
If you really do want a ROM, I'm using LiquidSmooth AOSP w/ Wireless Tether app that works great.
I've used Skyraider, BAMF 1.10 with Open Garden without any issues either.

I tried skyraider this time and i was using the stock app and wireless tether but I had not tried open garden but the stock and wireless tether were not working it was constantly dropping in and out it would stay connected according to my windows icon on my computer but i would have no access and i would get dced from games and my torrents would drop off completely. it would take a min or so for it come back on. had that problem with a couple of roms and some would just not work at all like bamf soab which i found out today has known issues with the hotspot. I will try open garden on skyraider i liked his roms when i had my dinc. thank you for the input. any other inputs would be greatly appreciated like maybe what i might do to stabilize this problem.

i have tried your recommendation and it has worked brilliantly on virus' eternity rom. So thank you for your ideas and support. I am a happy tbolt user now.
Thanks for the useful thread! I've been using the mobile hotspot recently, on stock 2.11.605.9 and it is just awful. It stops and starts, youtube HD just buffers all the time - it's basically unusable for anything except web browsing or email.
i am paying Verizon for the (dubious) pleasure of this barely-working feature.
So, I rooted, revolutionary-ed and installed WirelessTether. I did the configurations suggested here. Unfortunately, it's just as spotty as the stock mobile hotspot app. I notice no difference in performance.
Do I need to install one of the custom ROMs to see any benefit? Although I'm rooted and S-OFF, I'm still on the stock ROM.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions! :-D
PS: BTW, my LTE coverage is pretty good, and speeds on the phone itself are quite consistent and stable.
It's not a ROM issue. It's a Verizon issue. Every phone does it. I cancelled tethering because of this. Verizon doesn't seem to care that people want to tether for more than 5 mins without rebooting.

This is more of a router issues than phone issue. Try your routers website forum or google it.
From what I have read, I dont think you can open the nat when tethering from the phone

I think the issue is tethering via 4G, not from a router.
I'm frustrated as hell about not being able to tether 4G for no longer than 5 minutes at a time, after which I have to reboot my T-Bolt and my tablet.

I'm not finding "wifi router 3.1" or "wifi router 3.1 beta" in the Market anywhere. Is this an app? Just to clarify... this app will tether 4G LTE wirelessly to your device of choice for hours, correct? Thanks!
Edit: Found a link to what you're referring to in a different thread. Installed the APK, checked the box for the Wifi Fix, selected Thunderbolt, enabled access, and voila! Going on a solid hour of 4G tether with no disconnects! This seems to indeed fix whatever problem Verizon is having with the 5-minute disconnect.
For those who need it and may have missed it, here's the link for the fix:

The tether apps are filtered from the market when accessed via Verizon, I believe.
I have used tethering quite a bit for Netflix, etc., on CM7 with the older android wifi tether. I switched from CM back to Sense just to try something different for a while and have used the stock tether app since then. I don't recall having a tether-related reboot. I'll probably switch to the new wifi tether, love the mac filtering in there.
I will say, though, that I always have to start wifi tether twice to get it to work (enable - disable - enable.) Then it's solid.
Edit: oh, and stuck.
Question: why is it that when I turn off my tablet, wifi won't reconnect without turning my phone screen on? Very strange. My tablet reconnects immediately to my home router, but it will only reconnect immediately to my phone as long as the phone screen is on. I've tried everything and can't solve it. Otherwise, 4G Hotspot works awesomely.

rom with great hotspot
while the wifi tether app with correct settings has given me success on most roms i've tried it on, i like the built-in and hacked wifi-hotspot on thunderstick full blown a lot. overall, full blown is a great rom, and the included hot spot works perfectly for me and keeps my number of installed apps lower, which i like as well. my .02 anyway.
I actually just installed MIUI Rom that came out a few days ago and that's been working fine. My problem with most things is that I either get good 4G or GPS, but not both. :/
For some reason though, any stock tether/wireless hotspot apps never work. The miui rom uses Cyanogen Mod.
