I got a hotspot related question and I didnt want to make a new lame thread about it: thinking of fitting my friend with CM7, how is the hotspot hack working now a days? I see this is an old thread so was there any progress on that? also, im not sure what the data limit is on verizon but Im curious how the hotspot hack works exactly
Hi guys,
Im trying to help a friend, He has the Verizon Samsung Fascinate, the phone is rooted, has super user. I Dl'd and installed the Android wifi tether 2.07apk from the google dev site. started up the app. started tether without issue, looked on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet, found the android tether wifi, tried to connect and message pops up on my tablet stating something about adhoc is not supported.
I have a Droid Incredible running Nil's sense 3.5 rom and have the same android tether app, I can start up tethering, turn tethering on, connect and surf the web on my tablet, with no mention of the adhoc compatibility thing.
Im not up on Samsung devices, I have always had HTC phones. So im not sure if this a Samsung issue or what.
I compared his tether app settings to mine and both are the same.
Im at a loss here and could really use some advice about how to fix the issue.
Thanks
Hitch
Try downloading the newer version 3 beta 6 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk&can=2&q=
Be sure to go into settings and change device-profile to samsung fascinate.
It may work with that version...

No need to delete your question, it's certainly valid. Looks like the thread's been moved, so you're in the clear

Thanks for moving the thread, I had posted another topic in the Q&A.
The good news is 96 people have read the post, the bad news is not one person posted any ideas, This usually happens when you cannot post in the rooted section.
Still hoping someone has some ideas to help out.

Which rom is installed? Is it just stock Touchwiz with root? I ask because if your friend is willing to try CM7, the built-in tethering works beautifully.

its called Evil Fascinate from the samsung galaxy forums. I told him he needs to start getting his roms from here, he just rooted for the first and has a lot to learn.
I know he likes roms that are really themed, If you any suggestions for a stable, themed rom that has tether baked in I will flash it for him and see if he likes it.
Thanks

can't he just download opengarden tether or barnicle tether from market or am I missing something?

I have tried barnicle, but We get the same message when trying to connect from our tablet to the phone (AdHoc is not supported) and it wont connect, no matter what tether app I try I get the AdHoc not supported message.
I dont get this message when tethering my tablet to my Droid Incredible.
Thats why I was thinking it had to do with Samsung firmware, but I really have no idea and Im hoping that you Samsung guys can get my friend fixed up.
An easier question might be "what tether app do you use on your Fascinate"
Hitch
I use open garden, but I have never tried tethering to a tablet...only pc's.
Meh, easy fix for the ad-hoc thing. In wifi tether (I use pre10, 6 should work) go to settings, set your device profile to Google NexusOne and your setup method to Netd (master) and it will run in infrastructure mode and run fine. Tablets will connect and receive internet.
I'm on cm 7 with the newest radio and I have no signal can anybody help I need my phone!

is this a new ROM installation? If so go back to the previous working ROM you were using. I've actually gone back to the Froyo CM 6.1.1 on my phone to go back to basics. CM7 is a nice ROM, but still has it's glitches.
It happened when I put cm7 on so yeah I switched it up and still nothing

Basic Troubleshooting
So as a side note, I'm pretty sure this thread doesn't go in the dev forum.
On to the troubleshooting:
FIRST & MOST IMPORTANT STEP
1. Does you have the same problem if you put your sim in another phone?
if yes, then it is a sim/network problem and you will have to call your carrier.
(DON'T TELL THEM YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING CUSTOM ROM'S! lazy call center
reps will tell you that is why your sim/service isn't working so they don't have to
put any work into fixing your problem)
if no, then continue to step 2.
2. What happens when you try to place a call?
Do you see or hear an error message?
3. What does your phone think the status of its calling abilities are?
does it show signal strength? does it show any unusual icons in the status bar?
4. is the problem location specific?
have you tested the phone at least 7 miles from the location where your first experienced the problem? are other peoples phones on the same service having the same problem as you?
Check the wifi calling app and make sure it is not set to WIFI ONLY. This will disable your radio.
Fixed thanks guys

Hello all,
Recently I purchased a P500 to use solely as a wifi router for my house, running off an unlimited 3G plan.
However, the latest Cyanogen release keeps crashing and the stock ROM has an annoying 15-minute timeout that I can't get around.
Does anyone have any tips on how to make this phone bullet-proof solid, or how to mod the stock rom such the wifi powerdown-timeout doesn't occur?
Many thanks!
Lol, funny.
Use oxygen ROM

Thanks

Crashing in what way? I am running CM7 nightlies and using it as a wifi hotspot (on tmo 3G) for about 8hrs/day with no crashes.
It could be due to heat.

try changing your kernel that might fix this crash issue on custom rom and on stock rom try some build.prop tweak will solve the timeout problem
Press thanx if i helped you..

so now that .19 verzion mobile hotspot works so well, i was wondering if it'spossible to extract the files and move to any rom. i have tried but must not get all the files needed. can anyone tell me which files they are and if it can be done. or if someone can make a flashable file that can inject the hotspot to any sense rom. i use it daily out on the road and since update has been flawless for me. but so many devs take it out. any help would be appreciated very much.
Most of the devs take it out because most of us use the wireless tether app. I would say try using roms that have it in them already.

Using one now. But it's stock. And with kernel problems on 19 I was thinking of moving hotspot to. 9 custom rom. I seem to get better service on 4G and better voice and data at same time using hotspot. Just figured one of the devs here that delete all the files would know the names of them and might help me out by letting me know which ones they are.
