I am currently running SHIFTS3NS3 V1.3X and can not keep the wireless tether connected. After about 5 minutes it will reset to 0.00 and disconnect. I have this issue on every rom I have tried so far. The issue is the same for each version of wifi tether that I have tried aswell. Each time I load a rom I wipe cache/data 3 times, system, and dev cache. I always keep the stock kernel installed so I don;t think that would be the issue. I had a rooted og droid for 1 1/2 years and didn't have issue with wireless tethering. Could someone please assist or point me in the right direction to get this working because I am at a lose at this point.
Have u tried the wireless tether fix in the candystore?

Disable wake lock in the settings of wireless tether.

I had just installed the rom around noon today and poked around in the candystore, but some how I missed that...lol I applied the fix and verified the wake lock setting, I will test it out in the morning. Thanks for the quick replies.
Unfortunately it still times out after 10 minutes. It will stream perfectly and then no error or anything, just tether resets to 0.00 and drops the connection. I'd love to have this working, so any more ideas would be great. Btw this is a very nice ROM, haven't had one issue and runs silky smooth!

EE4.0 freezes when set to standby.
Freezes phone when unlocked.
I'm just asking to see if this is a common issue.
Thanks,

I'm having issues with EE 4.0. I've noticed that it has Learn More (INFO) app? Also that it has gv and gmail sync errors. When my phone goes standby while HTC explorer is open my phone locks and I have to do a hard reset. Anyone have a fix, besides defaults/wipe. I've completed that process 2 times.
P.S.
I only use this rom because of sense and wired tether.

Not that I know of. You using Setcpu? That used to freeze my phone running Eris lightning 3.02 same times as you. I didn't know how to set it properly. Also, if all you needed was sense and wireless, wireless can be used on ANY rooted Eris from 1.5 to 2.2 so really you should just use a different Rom. I absolutely love Eris lightning 3.02

I use wired tether. Wireless isn't for me. lol I switched to KayosFroyo. Haven't tried wired tether yet.
I'll have to look into setting up setcpu the right way. Thank you for the response.

Wow that's a goof on my part lol. I had wired tether working on aloysious snow but.... not sense lemme know of kayosfroyo works for ya. I bought pdanet for like 24 bucks on sale awhile back, that was def worth the money. Fastest wired speeds I had.

I am rooted and using Cyanogen 7. Either yesterday or today I lost the ability to tether wirelessly to my ipad. I've tried Wifi Tether, Barnacle, and the wireless tether app that comes with CM7. I can find and connect on my ipad but it isn't actually working. Any ideas?

Just out of curiosity are you on 3g or 4g?

Same here. Looks like VZW finally blocked us. Frickin ridiculous...telling me what to do with my unlimited data plan!! Internets out at home too. :-(
Same here...
Ok, after messing with it for about an hour I got it working. I had wifi connected, then hit the tether button for the 99th time and it worked. So I tried USB tethering and that worked too...for 5 minutes.
It's working again finally after going back and forth between wifi and usb, but it's not very fast. Who knows at this point...
I got it to work by flashing to another ROM. Tethering worked without an issue. I tried to flashback to CM7 but it seemed like my backup was corrupted, it wouldn't install. Im not sure if the update has caused these problems. I know just enough about ROMS and developement stuff to get me into trouble.
Before you flash a stock Rom there is an app called tetherguard.apk make sure that app is no where to be found before flashing the Rom then any WiFi tether program will work.

Hey guys I was searching and didn't see this in the forums. Recently I've been able to use WiFi without a problem. All of a sudden today it stays on for a few seconds than says what the heck? Your phone took over WiFi connection! Shutting down WiFi now! Any idea what's going on?

Are you using Green Power or Juice Defender or an app like that? If so, turn them off.
Nope.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I've used the newest tether app and barnacle and neither works. Tried settings that other puerile have used, ones that worked for me before, uninstalling, reinstalling, wiping cache, nothing wants to let it work anymore.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Wiping your system completely should fix it on cyanogen at least.
I was about to do that but wanted to make sure before I went to that extreme. Have so much crap loaded I'd hate to have to reinstall everything, even with titanium backup.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Odd, the only time I've ever gotten that error is when I forget to shut off Green Power.
Your wifi keeps turning on when you try to tether. When this happens, are you near a wifi network that your phone can connect to?
Nope. Ended up wiping and starting from scratch. haven't restored everything yet but it works. Weird issue. Thanks though

my tethering seems very unreliable. im using the latest wifi tether apk but thats irelevant as i have used many versions but the problems persist. allow me to explain, im in no way new to android nor tethering. i have followed all the steps to get 4g tethering speeds ( toggle data off, disable 4g re enable and so on) the thing is i cant get a stable connection from my laptop or my xoom for more than 20 mins. the connection either goes idle or the phone just restarts or i simply get disconnected from it. im just wondering whether it' s just me or whether this a common problem among photon users. many thanks and great forum.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I believe the 4G on your phone becomes idle. Just a guess.
I have heard this happens to other Photon users as well. Not sure what the cause of it is or the fix. I'm going to try some things out when I get time and see what mine does. I've never tried to tether for that long of time before. Will post back if I find out anything new.
**I can only test 3G. No 4G in my area.
Are you rooted or using a rom?
**Ignore this (my) post...had something but changed my mind***
thanks. yes rooted & stock

i can torrent nd get bout 10+ mbps download running through tether for 3 hours no problem. could even get on gears of war on my xbox while tethering no lag no problem
favorite tethering app- open garden tethering (easy and you can lower the transmit power for huge battery life increase, i keep mine on the lowest available) but wifi tether if i need specific settings
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
thanks for your reply. im so jealous lol i do also get very fast speeds the only prob is that is they are not consistent. phone either reboots or drops the connections. i will try the app you mentioned also
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
maybe think about visiting the store you bought it from or a sprint repair store..? ive never had problems with tethering even being rooted on my htc hero tethering was easy as pie at 2-3mps(3G) or rsdlite the latest spf maybe?

Year I found that out too ..
Also if you start wifi tether first,
then turn on 4g ...
4g tether works for me using
wifi tether 2.06

honestly open garden tethering works flawlessly for me, i have problems with every other app usually
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
So I've has this ongoing issue and it never really bugged me until today, and want to see if anyone has any ideas. Sometimes (more often then not) I am unable to activate 4g on my photon. It simply refuses to start the radio whether its done via widget on home screen or settings. The 4g icon will flash for a half second then goes away. The only way to fix is to either kill all tasks (including system tasks using systempanel) or a phone shut down and reboot. Now, I understand it might be an app interfering with it, but I don't know what it would be. I am rooted stock, and i do have roam control, although this did happen to me before I got roam control I believe.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you tether with it? I get the same thing whenever I tether with 4g. Usually a reboot also does the trick for me too.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I do Tether but not regularly. Its not because wifi tether is just installed at all is it?
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
I have the exact same 4g radio issue. I do have wifi tether installed but rarely use it. Happens to me every few days and rebooting is the only thing that had worked for me. I've tried clearing out ram but I usually end up having to reboot to fix it. Very annoying!
{edit} I'm on stock 198_6 rooted.
