i used a lot the wifi tethering of my galaxy 2 until...i upgrade ..after this i used it once and then nothing...i did hard reset and again worked once and after nothing..my laptops can see the wifi and connects with it but doesnt share the internet access..in contrary if i use the usb tether everything works like a charm...has anyone any idea???
I am having the same problem. Did you resolve the issue and how did you do it...
Thanks in advance...
Same here as well, I have not used tethering before until now and wanted to see if I could get it to work as I will be away in a few weeks with no internet access for my laptop so wanted to try and get this running.
As said above got the laptop to see and connect to the phone, but wont let me have internet. Not tried doing it via usb yet as wanted to try it wireless.
Any ideas anyone? (by the way running lite'ning rom as well 5.2)
I have the same issue on mine. Just release/renew the ip address and it works fine.

First of all, this is what I have:
Phone: XV6800
i have an "unlimited pda" plan through Verizon
ROM: DCD 3.1.6
RADIO: 3.42.30
I want to usb tether my phone to my laptop to use it as a modem. I do not want to incur any extra charges. (verizon warned me of a 20 dollar fee if i tether with out that option added to my plan).
There must be a way to do this, without getting charged.
Any help would appreciated.
Use the internet connection sharing in the Comm Manager, using either Bluetooth or USB. Works like a charm.
I like using WMWifiRouter, but that isn't USB, it's through the wifi

This works perfectly, you can even use it through bluetooth. I don't incur any extra charges. I know it works for sure with DCD's roms, because I am not getting charged. There is some reg key that gets changed so VZW does not know you are tethering.
Are there any USB drivers needed to get Internet Connection Sharing working through USB?
No, just plug the phone into your pc and start ICS.... It should DHCP an IP for your pc and surf away....

thats badass. i thought only WMWiFiRouter would work without me being charged. but it did mess up my wifi ability. thaanks

Wmwifirouter is also a great program, but (speaking from several months ago) when I would use it consistently over a period of time at school, or in a hotel, etc, it would overheat.
Using the USB method doesn't do that at all, and also seems to keep things going quick.
works
ok i can confirm that it works nicely. i am using internet sharing via usb and its nice and easy. as long as i dont get charged this will be lovely.
i think the secret cap on unlimited pda usage for verzon is 20 gigs a month. i'll just make sure i dont go over that.
thanks again for your help guys
I don't seem to have ICS on my XV6800. I have some program called Modem Link. Is there a way for me to put ICS on here?

You have to have upgraded to a DCD rom.

also note that ICS, is called "Internet Sharing" on DVD's roms and is in the program menu. not under settings. that confused me too, being a former herald owner, i had a cooked rom where the chef always had it in connection settings.
I use PdaNet and it works just fine for tethering. USB and Bluetooth.
ICS Advice
FYI - ICS works great but you must launch it on your phone first and tell it to connect before tethering it via USB to your computer.
Hope this helps.
VZW internet connection and Mac
Is there a way to use ICS or anything else to share internet (usb/bt/wifi) with a Mac (i've got a macbook) ? i've tried WMWifirouter but haven't gotten any of the versions to work with DCD 3.2.3...
thanks!
So I have tried this every way I can think of and not had any luck. I had it working a long time ago, but am having no luck now. I am using ICS and I have tried the reg edits under wmodem for CheckProfile=0, Multi-NAI=0, WModemDun=0. My phone connects to my laptop and opens a LAN connection and under status says "acquiring network address" for about a minute. It then pops up the yield sign and says "Limited or No Connectivity" On the phone side everything looks good. I get an error that says cannot connect sometimes, but not always. I tried deleting the Extension key under the Internet Sharing registry and still no luck. Anybody have any ideas? Is this a phone thing or a laptop thing. I am on WinXP and it does show in the device manager that a Internet Connection Sharing Device is attached and working. Thanks for any help.
Hey I'm new to android, just got a vibrant last week. Decided to unlock it as I travel a lot. The unlock worked, but now I'm having issues with my wifi. I can connect to a wireless network but I cant load pages. The wireless signal is strong and I tried with different routers, but still no luck. Looked through the forum and googled it but couldn't find a solution. If some one could please help with this, it would be much appreciated
try clearing your current wifi settings including remembered connections, passwords, and everything else...then re-scan for networks all over again, that's all I can think of for now
By that you mean just gong into settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings and then just forget the net work, rescan, and rejoin the network? If so, I did that but am still getting the same result. If you can think of anything else or if I didnt do what you suggested correctly please let me know. Thanks

yeah, thats what I meant :/....hmmm...sounds like your connection is working, can you download stuff from the market or is it just the browser? cause I unlocked mine too and wifi works fine
No I cant download anything from the market. I cant do anything that requires an internet connection, but it does show that I am connected to a network.

Have you been able to try another network? My first thought was it was in Ad-Hoc mode but I could be wrong. If nothing else restore to stock firmware and then try a different unlock.
Happened to me too. It would show the wifi icon on the notification bar but wouldn't load pages. I'd go to the settings and it'd say can't turn off wifi or can't turn on wifi. And when it was "on" I'd say connecting to modem then it'd just stop. When I was using the browser on wifi it would load a page even when I had full bars. I had to turn it off then back on to load another page. Is this similar to the problem your having?

I hope this doesn't sound stupid but yesterday I uninstalled Advanced Task Manager and poof my wifi started working again. The phone also seems to suffer from less occasional lag without it installed, but that's another story for another thread. Prior to this I had to manually turn my wifi connection off and on, but even that didn't always work. Since the uninstall I have not my wifi connection once. I am currently using the stock rom, rooted with minor adjustments here and there.
hi guys, i also have this problem.
i will be taking the phone in to the tmobile store on thursday.
it shows that i am connected via wifi; however, anything that requires an internet connection does not load.
very frustrating, since just yesterday i used the samsung kies software to tether a network for my laptop. i was testing the capability of the vibrant to act as a modem, and it worked just fine.
any help would be appreciated!
thank you
Charlie
connected but not connected
I also have this problem.
In my Vibrant shows that i connected, but i can not load pages. Someone
found any solution to this problem?
Hi all,
This is happening to me too. Rebooting seems to get Wifi working correctly again. But the problem comes back eventually.
Maybe a bug in the latest JI6 update?
Wi-fi problem.
Someone found any solution for this problem?
Froyo's update will fix this issue?
Thanks.
i hang on you **** iphone users they just bay for its cool smartphone **** iphone android is the king
Hello,
I used Barnacle Wifi tethering with my pc sucessfully before.
Now, after reformatting the computer, (the wireless adapter is obviously working as I'm using it right now), it tries to connect to the barnacle network but takes forever (basically it doesn't connect).
Tethering is crucial for me and any help is appreciative. Nothing has changed on my phone since it last worked with my pc. The only difference is that my pc has reinstalled windows 7 and has working wifi drivers.
how can I fix this?
Thanks so much!
Try flashing a froyo rom. Comes with wireless tethering installed.called. Mobile AP. Works great. I'm using Axura Voodoo Rom and getting 5.21mg download speeds. Also has USB tethering installed too.

Thanks for the reply, but I was wondering more of what was wrong on the pc side.
Is there some driver I'm missing?
I was able to use EasyTether via USB to tether but it was so much slower (other things being constact) than my Barnacle Wifi tethering.
Why can't I connect to barnacle?
Do I need kies installed?
BUMP. This is still a major issue for me.
I installed Bionix's latest rom and it still doesnt work.
Froyo USB tethering doesn't work (drivers installed sucessfully on my windows 7 pc)
Barnacle Wifi doesn't work (it takes forever while "connecting" and never ends up connecting to the phone)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

With the Bionix 1.3 I can verify that wifi tether does work I use it everyday. Are you seeing your phone listed as an AP when seraching for wireless connections?

For Barnacale Wifi I am assuming you are talking about:
What is AP?
I see it listed as a wireless internet connection (in windows 7, its a icon of 3 computers) and I click to connect.
It tries and tries but never connects to it for some reason.
However, before my PC reformat, it connected to barnacle wifi just fine.
I can confirm that there are no problems with my wifi on my pc.
And I really appreciate you getting back to me.
I spent four days on this issue and I have gotten nowhere.
I recently got a SII (YES!) and followed Creepy's howto on rooting/flashing roms without raising the flash counter. I had no issues. I then installed Root Explorer(granting it SU rights) and deleted tetheringmanager2.
This is when my issues started. I tried usb tethering and my computer (which is running windows 7) acknowledges a device is plugged in but nothing else happens. If it were a modem i would blame it on USB drivers and reinstall them but not sure if wifi drivers exist for this phone. Also, I tried starting up wifi hotspot and i can get on it for a min then the connection drops.
I have tried google's wifi tether as a 3rd party app and it does the same. I know I missing somthing but cant figure out what. I have tried wifi hotspot with and without passwords. I dont have any firewalls installed on the phone and I lowered the one in windows with the same issue.
No, I do not have at&t's tethering plan b/c I already have broadband at home. I upgraded from the tilt 2 and had no issues tethering that device.
Does anyone else have this issue? ANY help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^RESOLVED: I reinstalled USB drivers and installed Kies.
i have had issues with wifi tethering since day 1 on this device, both stock and now rooted flashed to unnamed rom. i also DO pay for tethering through AT&T (biz expense) so it is not that either.. wifi hotspot just drops after a few minutes.. a work around i have found that works 50% of the time is to not let the screen timeout.
can you tether via usb?
Hi I recently restored my s3 to factory reset but after that I am not able to connect any devices (phones or laptop )with wifi tethering
Prior to reset it was working fine. I have not rooted my phone.
Do I have to reset it again? Any other possible solutions?
Can you explain it in more detail? If using hotspot, are your phone close enough with the device you want to paired? Did you try bluetooth or usb tethering? Did your phone have data connection?
Having major issues with tethering on my SGS3 aswell.
When I recieved the phone, stock out of the box, I was unable to get tethering working, it worked for 10-60mins then automatically turned off.
I rooted the phone, and tried various tethering apps, and finally (after a couple of days) managed getting FoxFi to give me a stable tether.
Now I've installed the latest FW, and Im back to square 1 (or even further back), FoxFi puts up an access point, but after being connected 10-60mins, tethering stops working, and the connection dissapears from the list on my computer. FoxFi still reports it's running, so I have to turn it off, then back on to get another 10-60 minutes.
Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep: Always
Build Number: IMM76D.I9300XXBLH3
Android Version: 4.0.4
Considering trying Cyanogenmod, but I really like the stock room and wish to stay on it.
USB tethering is out of the question, as I use it for Xbox360, PS3, talet etc.
For those wondering, usually having 10/8 mbps @ 80ping, limited to 20GB traffic a month, aint that bad tbh.
Might just gotta get me a proper and wired internet connection instead.
Anyone got any idea what so ever what might cause this? Ill be more than willing to post logs etc, just tell me how.
One more thing, some of the tethering apps gives Ad Hoc error, FoxFi the only I've not getting this error on (of those Ive tried atleast).
