Hello, been a member for a while, and this question should probably reflect on my level of technical know how, cause, if i use CyanogenMod on my sg2, i am able, to use root wifi tether, to tether the internet data on my htc hero, to my sg2, so I can use internet on my sg2, however if i use any of the other roms, have tried nearly all the 2.3.4,as well as the 2.3.3 roms, with no luck. With the other roms, i am able to connect, to my home broadband wifi router, but when it comes to my htc hero, only CyanogenMod works, any ideas, is there some extra software required for this to work with other roms. Thanks.

Hello.
I recently just got an HD2 but it is network locked.
So I just use Google Voice and it serves me well but when I'm not in a wifi zone I have to use my G1 which now isn't as great as it seemed to be last year
BUT
I can tether from my G1 and use it on the HD2 so I can use Google Voice no matter where I am.
Here is my problem
The HD2 does not pick up the tether. It picks up my house wifi etc etc just not my tether. I tested my tether out on a separate HD2 and it seemed to pick it up fairly quick. I've tried changing the Channel to multiple channels but nothing.
Any reason why?
Thanks for quick response if anyone could help me before I have to leave for work which is pretty soon =P
really?
*bump*
Could I make it work with bluetooth tether?
(is it supported through another rom or something)
I'm n dire need of an unlock code since I can't tether if anyone can help me get one through T-Mobile ( since I don't know anyone with a T-Mobile account) please PM me please. I'm in need of one.
Can you see your tether from another machine? (like laptop or desktop)
Perhaps your G1 send out a hidden signal (not broadcasting)
In that case you should try directly editing the WiFi name and manually adding (without finding the WiFi network) the settings.
Also you could try to make your G1 "unhidden".
Just some thoughts...
"I tested my tether out on a separate HD2 and it seemed to pick it up fairly quick"
It decided to show up today. Thanks Wilco.
Dear Members, I have searched and read several threads on this, but don't seem to find the exact answer I am looking for. I have an unlocked HTC Aria (AT&T Branded) currently running on Android 2.1. I am not particularly interested in changing the ROM as the phone does what I need (Calls, Messages, E-Mails, and Web Browsing). However I would like to also be able to do BlueTooth Tethering over to an Archos 70 IT tablet that I use for all the rest. I notice that the apps that would do this, all require ROOT. My question is, if I can ROOT my phone ONLY in order t be able to install any of these BT Tethering Apps? Do I still have to install a ROM, or will ROOTING not affect anything else?
I appreciate you comments and any suggestions that you might have.
Thank you very much.
No you can root and leave the stock rom in place.

Thanks mtnlion!
Ok! So I rooted my device and installed WIFI Tethering. The program does start on my Aria and the wi-fi signal is picked up by my notebook, however it shows limited connectivity (basically no internet). Unless someone has any feedback, I would now assume that it is an issue of my phone not connecting to the network, however I have tried the web browser on my phone and it does work, I also tried BT Tethering but both devices will show "paired but not connected", and can't get passed this step, so any comments again will be much appreciated.
Thanks again,

Don't know if this thread might help or not.

Thanks cHarley04,
I finally flashed Liberated 2.2.2. and it does exactly wht I was looking for!
Cheers,
I use my phone for 5 basic things: Talking, Texting, E-mails, some Browsing and WiFi and Bluetooth Tethering.
I am on Android 2.1 and rooted my device so I could get WiFi Tethering. All is fine but not enough. I also use an Archos 70 tablet, which won't accept Ad-Hoc communication and will only Tether through Bluetooth, which leads me to the fact that I will need to change the ROM.
I am very pleased with the Sense UI and the stock ROM, and would like to replace it with a ROM that would be similar but allow me to set up a wireless BT infrastructure network/ PAN with my Archos 70. Which is all I am actually missing/ need.
I have searched and read many, many posts, but none address in full my needs/ expectations. I see some ROMs that would seem to get close, but I also notice that some need patching, or not all is functional.
I just want a very close to Stock ROM with Sense UI but with Bluetooth Tethering through PAN.
Based on the above expectations and you user experince, I would sincerely appreciate your guidance and recomendation of which in your opinion would be the ROM to best address my needs.
Thank you very much in advance.
PS: Although I don't use it much, I would also like to preserve the capability to use my GPS. Thanks...
I'm not familiar with some of the acronyms you've used. What do you mean when you say "PAN"?
From what I can tell, it sounds like gene poole's liberated 2.2.2 rom is what you're looking for. He should be releasing a new version soon, I suggest waiting for it.
Hi ECEXCURSION,
Thanks for your reply. PAN stands for Personal Area Network which as I understand it is the profile which in BlueTooth allows for the type of connection I need.
I'll have a look at your suggestion.
Cheers,

To my knowledge, none of the Aria ROMs I have used have BT PAN profile as a service that is available. I am currently running CM 7.0.3 which is Gingerbread and it does not have BT PAN and I believe the the HTC Sense ROMs didn't have them either. Since most of the Aria ROMs have had a Wifi hotspot capability, that has been the preferred choice for sharing the Aria's Internet connection with devices. BT would be slower.
You should install one of the Froyo (Android 2.2) Sense ROMs. They will retain virtually an identical look to the Aria's stock ROM, but will allow you to use the built-in wifi hotspot support that Android added in Froyo (i.e., not a third party app). Android's implementation can create a true wifi hotspot (not ad-hoc), which should work with your ARCHOS tablet.
Your best choice is probably FR008 or Liberated 2.2.2 -- the latter is a newer version of Android but unfortunately has the AT&T notification message that is very annoying.
Hi Drumist,
Thank you for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated. It looks like I will incline myself for the Liberated 2.2.2. which I believe is about to receive an update so as not to have to patch the same.
However I would like to ask what is referred to by the "AT&T notification mesage"? I've seen this comment in other posts, but can't relate to it. Could be because I am on an Argenine network?
Thanks again,

Yeah, actually now that you mention it, someone else who used Liberated 2.2.2 on a different network said they didn't get that message either. I guess they designed it to only show up for people on the AT&T network. So I guess that is good news for you -- that's really the only major issue with the ROM that I'm aware of.
Sounds great! Thanks again!
Although I appreciate people helping each other, threads like these in the development section are not what development is for. Try General.
Closed.
First off i apologize if this is in the wrong section, so please move if needed mods. Well i have a problem connecting to wifi. Not just any old wifi, particularly my school wifi. I have come to figure out that for the life of me i cannot connect to my schools wifi whenever i run any sense based rom on my 3vo. I also couldn't connect to my schools wifi with my hero with any sense based rom as well. It seems like the problem is sense then because i have no problem connecting when i run aosp or cyanogen. When i connect with an aosp rom all i have to do is input the username/identity and password, 3 seconds later im connected. With any sense based roms i get it detects the signal but automatically prompts me for the password, no other option. Networking is not my forte but if i recall the security that my school uses is wpa enterprise peap or something along those lines. Now i know some of you may say just run an aosp rom but sometimes i need full functionality and i cant swap on the fly (hboot 1.5 htc unlock method)Any help would be greatly appreciated because i hate not having any network access at school. Thanks in advance
PS. ive tried adding manually but still no help, ive also tried that wifi configurator app to see if it could help but alas... Zilch!
first of all let me ask you if your friends have htc phones and if any of them runs in the same problem if using a sense rom. it's pretty strange. try wifi manager from market maybe u get lucky https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5rbWFuLldpZmlNYW5hZ2VyIl0.
Yeah a few friends of mine have HTC phones none of us can connect, they all run stock roms too, no root for them. We all get the same prompt for password without being able to enter username and password. I'll try out this manager though and see how what happens
Thanks
I am on the nocturnal rom and I have major wifi and connection issues. im rooted s still on with hboot1.50 but I have flashed a new rom a new kernel and also wifi manager nothing works
I have a droidX with liquid ICS 1.62,
android version 4.0.4,
and kernel version 2.6.32.9-g34b306d
i have tried every possible method i have found to get wifi tethering working, its to give my nexus 7 wifi on the train
I'm able to tether with bluetooth, but because there's no wifi connection various apps dont "see" the internet and ignore it.
so i need wifi tethering
BUT IT WONT FREAKIN WORK. :crying::crying:
more specifically, no matter what i try, nothing can see the wifi tethering signal of my phone, its as if nothing is there at all.
it'd tried; Foxfi, PDAnet, wifi tether for root users, barnacle tether...
i'm completely at witts end here, ask me any question you need and i'll answer in as much detail as needed
anyone? at all?
if you need any more information, i can provide it
guess not
i'll probably have to drop back down to CM7, it looks like every single ics or jb rom for the droidx has this dumb issue. thanks verizon
wait, nevermind, got it working again somehow
after flashing back to stock liquidICS 1.62 i found it working again
i tried to underclock the phone so i could leave it in my pocket running wifi all day, but apparently under OR overclocking the phone AT ALL breaks tethering, dont ask me how or why.
if you change the clock speed at all, you need to reboot before using tether
