[Q] gapps causing problems after ED01 update - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating my wife's phone to ED01 from EA28 stock, com.google.process.gapps continuously stops unexpectedly. Her phone was not rooted or anything and was stock other than the apps she has installed. I've rebooted the phone several times and no improvement. Has anyone else heard of this problem? I know I can always flash back to earlier stock versions and try again but avoiding a wipe is my preferred solution (it results in less whining about me breaking her phone, not that she hasn't already started complaining....)

I had the same problem, but I also had the EnhancedGoogleSearch.apk installed. I uninstalled it, and that fixed everything.

Removing the enhanced google search seems to have fixed all my problems. Thanks!

3g disables when wifi tether activated
Ok so I have updated to ed01 and rooted my fascinate. Everything seems to be working ok except now when I try to connect my xoom or ipod touch using the WIFI Tether 3.0, it disconnects the 3g. Usually I have a red and green arrow under the 3g icon, but if I have wifi tether on, a dim "D" is under it instead, now I can connect to the wifi tether from both these items but they give me errors saying "NO internet connection" Has Verizon put some sort of block in the rom???. Also if I open the browser or market on my phone the 3g signal activates again, but still no internet to my xoom or ipod touch.

[Q] CM7 3G/WIFI Issues

Hello all, I came from Com Rom 2.1... last week I did an Odin back to DL09 with the PIT repartition. I wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Then flashed the 7/18 CM7 build. I love the ROM and it has been working great except two pretty big issues...
1) My 3G has been really intermittent and I find that I no longer get 3G in spots where I used to. Sometimes the 3G will work but a lot of the time it will simply not respond or my data will switch into 1X mode. I did not have this issues prior to flashing CM7. I can no longer stream Pandora or Spotify in most areas now.
2) My wifi has not worked since flashing CM7. I go to connect to my wifi and get stuck on "Obtaining IP Address". Never had this issue before. Tried FXR Wifi fix and rescue but had no luck.
Any ideas on how to go about fixing my 3G and Wifi? I appreciate it!
Use the latest build of CM7 (build 3)
Refer to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190668
This, however, have some issues with the signal bar animations. That is, you appear to have 0 bars but you really have signal.
If that doesn't work start from scratch or read up on this guide on how to switch from comROM to cm7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155477
Good luck

I too am happily on CM7, and suffering intermittent 3G. My wifi is fine. Where does reflashing the ROM come in vs the phone activation fix described elsewhere? I was going to activate another smartphone that is lying around, then reactivate the Fascinate, to see if this helps.
i too am having the same issues, but if i flash cm7 from scratch i get 3g and all other types of mobile data work great but like above when i try to connect to wifi it loops on obtaining ip address, if i then flash the DHCP fix that came with the rom (along with hotfix001 and hotfix002) i can connect to wifi no problem but after several minutes my mobile data decides to vanish and is unable to connect, so is it one or the other? has anyone found a fix for this or am i doing something wrong??
thanks in advance

[Q] CM7 Thunderbolt Tethering not working

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.

[Q] Problem enabling wifi tethering on rooted Razr Maxx

I am having major problems trying to tether my iPad off of my Razr maxx. Prior to this I had a rooted Droid X and I used the "Wireless Tether" app which worked flawlessly (but slow on 3g).
I rooted my Razr Maxx soon after receiving it without issue using the motofail method. I have tried to get my iPad to connect using: Foxfi, Open Garden, Barnacle, and even used TiBu to bring back my old "Wireless Tether" app that I had on my Dx and none of these work. The tethering apps recognize the ipad as connecting. At best the ipad will recognize the network and show that it is connected but I will not be able to surf.
I've tried rebooting the phone between installs of the apps. Uninstalling and reinstalling the tethering apps. Playing with the ipad (wifi, airplane mode on and off, forgetting networks and reconnecting). I've tried running the apps with WEP, WPA networks and at times no security.
On the barnacle log I see: DHCP: Failed to parse ---numbers and letters--- for brncl_dhcp_dns2 and then NAT: Could not set MTU of rmneto: Invalid argument. Not sure what that means????
Someone on another forum recommended trying to Freeze the stock wifi hotspot app. I tried that and it did not work.
This is killing me. My wife has an unrooted Charge and gets her iPad to connected flawlessly with Foxfi. The only thing I haven't tried is unrooting my phone and running Foxfi?? Any thoughts? I've been at this all day and still have not gotten it to work.
First, there several threads discussing about the problem.
Second, I posted a temporary solution to enable NAT in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435619
Note, RAZR does not use rmnet interface. It uses qmi0.
Thank you.
I had the same exact issue with both of my razr maxxes.. i downloaded wifi tether beta 11 onto my computer and transferred/installed the apk file. All was successful.
It kept giving me a "connected with limited access" message.. It was connected but would not transfer data. None of the wifi tether apps worked from the market place. Try another beta version and manually install it.
I got it to work. I unrooted my phone (with the Doomlord method) and then ran foxfi (and it worked). Then I rerooted (with motofail) and foxfi still works. Wierd.
I have had a few other wierd quirks that were solved with either factory resets or reroot and unroot (wifi wouldn't connect to home network, and I lost the data connection).
Now everything seems to working fine. Thanks for the help.

[Q] WiFi Tether/Hotspot stability tips?

I am currently living in a dorm and my school does not provide internet access. I have been using my Razr Maxx (I am rooted and on the latest ota jellybean update) for internet since September. I have been using the stock Verizon hotspot app with my unlimited data plan.
I have tried many different settings and apps but it is very rare for me to keep a stable connection longer than one hour. What typically happens is that all devices stay connected to the network but non of them have internet access. When I look at the app the device names sometimes change to "unknown". I have been researching for a while and have found nothing helpful. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I know that WiFi tethering is not intended for such heavy use, but it is almost finals and I want to have a stable connection to get my work done.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas for making the best out of WiFi tethering features on the Razr MaxX?
What's up, man? I am bumping because I am having similar problems. I read that Verizon has installed some kind of way to prevent the Wifi Tethering apps with the new JB OTA update. I manually upgraded to JB with mattgroff's technique and immediately rooted.
FoxFi now does not work but Wifi Tether is just really unreliable now. Sometimes it works great, sometimes it quits working in a manner similar to yours about five minutes after reboot.
I was having similar problems I have always used WiFi tether for root users and suddenly had problems after the update well I found out that having multiple tether apps was the issue. If your stock tether works don't download any other apps, even from the play store.

I was under the impression (although I could be mistaken) that everything from wifi tether apps on the play store to the stock Verizon hotspot app doethe same thing with a few variations. I tried using PDAnet/FOXfi and all the symptoms seemed to be the same. It seems like an issue with the phone itself more than the apps that control this feature. But again, I've been wrong before.

Does it really make a difference? If so, why?
Not really sure how it does, just know that I was having similar issues and I uninstalled all other WiFi tether apps and it worked. Also I've read that if you boot into S.S. you can try wiping cache and dalvik and flash the ROM again. (Gapps if needed by the way). I've done that for any type of WiFi problems add well.

[Q] ParanoidAndroid 3.97 Wifi Hotspot Error

I just installed the new Paranoid Android, and I cannot seem to get the Portable Hotspot to work. I was using the stock rom, and Verizon's 'Mobile Hotspot' worked flawlessly after using the SQLite hack. I have tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether for Root Users (which used to be my go-to, until it just stopped working after an update). I cannot get any of these to work, as Wifi Tether comes up with the error, 'Tethering started with errors, please check 'show log''. When I check the log, there is nothing in it.
Any ideas on what is going on here? It is almost as if there is a messed up driver somewhere, but I am not knowledgeable enough to figure it out. Like I said, I used to have it running perfectly one day, then it seemed like all of my tethering apps wouldn't work. I resorted to using the built in Mobile Hotspot, and it started working fine again.
Strange thing, I also paid for FoxFi, and even that wouldn't work, which I found very odd..

Yeah, literally everything else on the the phone works as new.
When I was having trouble with Wifi Tether for Root Users, Barnacle, and FoxFi, I tried a factory reset via the Droid Razr Utility and it didn't change a thing. One of the beta versions of Wifi Tether turned on with no errors, but I could not find the SSID once it was supposedly turned on. After using the stock Mobile Hotspot with the SQLite hack, it works perfectly. But, when I go to ParanoidAndroid, it uses a different type of 'Mobile Hotspot' app named 'Portable Hotspot', and it just gives me an error (but no details, justs says error under it and then greys itself out.

I had an issue with 3.69 Paranoidandriod and had to do the terminal emulator hack to get wifi to work and that also somehow fixed my tether. If you haven't yet also try to run a fix permission and see if that will take care of things. I will test mine (currently running 3.97 as well) and get back with you later to let you know what I found.
Just saw that there's an update to Paranoidandroid which is 3.98 and he posted that he fixed the wifi tethering. Try to update and see what that does for you. I tried to fix permission on versino 3.97 and it didn't help. I tried terminal emulator b/c my wifi stopped working and that did fix that issue.
I just loaded it up, and still nothing. Now, when I try to turn on the hotspot, it just keeps saying 'Turning hotspot on...' and doesn't change. I tried connecting and it still is nowhere to be seen.
Are there any instructions out there for the terminal hack method, or a way that worked for you?
