I've tried wifi tether, and usb tethering through cm7 and there has been moments where it has worked, but the main problem is that I'd have problems connecting, and if I do sucessfully connect, half the time I cannot browse, I can only download things thru utorrent. Does anyone know what the problemm is?
I don't think anyone has a real answer to this. I have had issues with 4g tethering with three AOSP ROMs. I've tried the official MR2 radio, and two of the gingerbread leak radios with no solution. In my case I can tether 3g, but not 4g.
i see the least amount of this problem with the synergyrom and the latest radio. older radios are ok. but the rom is the key

Well, I have a combo that finally works for 4g tethering for me. TheRoM V4 plus the radios from the 2.11.605.0 RUU (802 LTE).
try using your usb cable + pda net. works for me!

I just got the thing and it came with GSB3.6 and it had SO many problems i put 3.7 on there and most where fixed, but my wifi disconnects every 15 seconds or so. any known fixes?
EDIT: Tried OMFGB, Same problem. i hope its fixable. someone help meeee
Check Settings, Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi settings, then tap Menu and Advanced. Change the 'sleep' policy (try "Never") and see if it continues disconnecting.
I would like to think that the default setting, "When screen turns off" does not kick in when there's an active connection...
I've used GSB v3.7 (Odex) with my WiFi without any problems.
Based on the fact that you observe the same symptoms with two different dev ROMs, I would suspect that the problem is either (a) your WiFi hardware, (b) your WiFi router, or (c) a software incompatibility between your WiFi router and the Eris' device driver (very similar from ROM to ROM).
You could try installing a completely stock ROM, for instance the
[ROM] HTC Eris March 2011 OTA Stock ROM - v2.41.605.6
(Note that although this ROM is "completely stock" and "not rooted", flashing it does not touch your recovery boot, so you treat it just like any other dev ROM).
Running this test - if you still experience the problem - will exonerate any Eris dev ROM, and you have a couple of options at that point:
- see if your WiFi router has a firmware update available (router firmwares contain bugs, too). I have experienced incompatibilities with the Eris which were solved by flashing WiFi routers to newer firmware.
If you try that and you still experience problems, you actually still won't know if the problem is (a) or (b) - but if you take your phone to a Starbucks or other place with a WiFi hotspot available, and you still experience problems of the same nature, then it is time to suspect that the problem is "(a)" - hardware trouble with your handset.
good luck

I switched the router from duel band N to single channel G, and now i only disconnect every 45 minutes or so.
also i tried swapping routers to a diff one, and then my dads DX, his wifes Droid, nor my Eris, could connect at all, under any settings. so it seems Android has alot of issues with wifi? anyways, i still disconnect, but not enough to bother me. thanks for the replies!
as much as it might suck, you should try doing a full wipe of data/dalvik and see if it fixes the issue. i had gone from 2.4 or so up to 3.7 without doing a wipe, and eventually things started to happen (widgets would not show up for new programs). i did a full wipe and everything is working great now.
I also am having wifi issues, didn't have them til I put the gingerbread cyanogen rom on.
I will do some more trouble shooting today and see if I can narrow down some of the variables. I have a Buffalo router with WPA2 for security on it. Some have suggested the security, but then I've talked to others that have WPA2 set up and no problems.
The wifi was working previously, did a full wipe of data and dalvik when I installed. I am running 3.2 or something close to that, haven't upgraded to the most recent version yet.
SO. Theres my info. But I love the rom and won't get rid of it, even if it is the rom.
My husband is fine just running 3G.
i have a linksys wrt54g running ddwrt using wpa2 with no problems, gsb 3.7 on my eris.

In general, WiFi compatibility from clients to APs is far worse than most people expect; I've experienced interop problems with all sorts of gear. It is hard to draw general conclusions, as the results you get are highly dependant on specific hardware models & firmware versions.
About the only generality that can be stated is this: the more bells and whistles you enable on the AP, the more likely it is you will experience a problem.
FWIW, my GSB 3.7 Odex Eris seems to work flawlessly with a Linksys WRT54G with WPA2. I think I have multiband (A/B/G) turned off in favor of G-only.
cheers

Yeah I wouldn't say that either. I've had my Inc for a year, never had any problems with it, and like I said before this rom, no problems with wifi.
I also have an android tablet. No problems with stock.
So clean install with 3.7, did data wipe and cache, first thing I did was try to get wifi going, all it does is scan. Entered my SSID and everything. Says it's not in range. Bah.
Here's my wish list, in order of priority:
working wired tether
sense-based
gingerbread
My Verizon
NFL mobile
The wired tether seems to be the sticking point. I think the leaks started disabling it after a certain date, at which point it was disabled in a lot of roms. It works in Das bamf 1.0.4, but later versions broke it but fixed My Verizon and NFL.
I've tried several others and haven't found one that works yet. Anyone have a ROM that covers these bases? Would CM7 work, minus the sense?
Thanks
I think Sky Raider will fit all of that except for maybe My Verizon. There is an update coming soon but I don't know if My Verizon was something given much attention.
BAMF SoaB (Sense 3.5) works for all of that except I have no idea on the nfl mobile. I don't follow team sports.
KillaSense is my Rom. It's GB with the latest base 2.11.605.5, stock Sense 2.1, working wifi tether (go to wifi tether app, hit menu, settings, check routing fix and your good to go), working my Verizon, and I had NFL mobile working (hint: try signing in to my Verizon app first). Check it out.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt powered by KillaSense 3.0
Wired tether didn't work on SoaB or KillaSense. Keep in mind that I am talking about WIRED tether (aka Internet Connection Mode), not WiFi. The PC I'm tethering to doesn't have a wireless card.
SoaB didn't even have it in the menu options. If you can find it, let me know - it is a great looking ROM. KillaSense had the option, but when you check the box, the wheel just spins forever and doesn't do anything.
Wired Tether worked on SkyRaider, but My Verizon didn't. Wired tether is more important to me, so I'm going to stick with that until I find a different ROM that fits all of my needs. Thanks guys!
Pretty simple move files needed to make my Verizon work to skyraider. The file names escape me at the time, its like signonengine, ssopermissions, and my Verizon something to that effect.

Yeah I found that somewhere else. I didn't need to do the first part, just the part about logging in under no PRL.
I was on a super old froyo rom until recently because I was too lazy and almost everything worked that I needed. So I wasn't up on any of the new fixes. Thanks.
is all good,if it aint broke dont fix it and out ain't obsolete if it still does what you want it to do!

I use Synergy rom (latest nightly) and I can do all you asked for - though I have yet to try nfl. I use my verizon on a regular basis though so it should work. Also if wired tether is an all the time thing think about PDA net, I use to use that when i would wire-tether alot.
Why not use the rooted stock 605.5 gingerbread? Does all of the above and still root for any apps you want it for. I just downloaded My Verizon from market and it works. I'm using it b/c it seems to be giving me the best battery life i've ever had. I'm confused as to why as stock roms normally kill my battery, but i guess results will vary.
Hey there,
ever since I got my Atrix it showed some weird wifi behavior:
When I turn wifi on it says "obtaining IP address" although it doesn't actually do that.
As soon as I enter the wifi settings (the one where you choose which network to connect to) it connects to my remebered wifi.
This happened on every ROM (Cm 7, Blur...) and any combination of Radios and Kernels.
Additional info:
German unlocked Atrix

To be honest it happened to my Atrix when it was stock I've never understood why so I always blamed my wireless router
Any fixes out there?
Its really annoying.

I will try a new router soon, may as well be an hardware issue on the other side. Old one is 3 years old anyway

I am having the same problem with the Wifi. I don't know what causes this problem. Happens in both CM7 and Blur based Roms.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I've had the same issue with most rom's, but not with the Neutrino rom. Happened with all CM7 based roms before, however. Had to go in and click on "settings" before data worked.
reflash 36P radio, wipe cache/dalvik cache, and reboot. 36P seems to fix 99% of wifi issues. Also change your kernel to Faux's latest kernel as that helps too
My Atrix was stock tho...

I tried all combinations of Radios and Kernels, including faux 024 beta4, but it didn't help
edit:
well, on neutrino 2.1 with faux 024 and .30p it appears to be working all right. Will do some testing and report back
edit 2:
sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm afraid it might actually be related to my router
Okay,
bought a new router and it is working fine. Seems to be an issue with old routers. Although I cannot say in what form. Both routers use WPA2

I have had my Thunderbolt for over a year now and have been flashing numerous ROM's/radios since. I have always had great success in each one and as time has passed, newer and better ROM's having been coming out. I currently have the Full Blown Thunderstick ROM which I have found to be the best and smoothest ROM to date. There is only one probem.
I have noticed a drastic difference in the speeds while using this ROM/radio compared to all the ones used prior. I have flashed this ROM and it's respective radio on my Thunderbolt and numerous others and I still have the same issues with all. Can someone tell me why I went from 15mb down/7 mb up speeds which I had prior to now 3-4 mb down/.5-1mb up speeds with this MR4 setup? Also, why won't the ROM let me use the Wireless Tether for Root Users in addition to the Wi-Fi Hotspot one it came with? When I try to run and connect to it from any laptop, it says it's unable to connect the network address although I have no problem connecting to the Wi-Fi Hotspot one. But sometimes with the Wi-Fi Hotspot the ROM came with, it drops connectivity. It feels like it's not using the 4G LTE speeds but only the 3G speeds only.
Just curious, did you search first? The answer for wifi tether has been posted atleast 100 times. I posted it as recently as 2 days ago. As far as speeds, speedtest.net does not work properly with that rom, your info is not correct.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
Oh I read the whole thread and I didnt really see anything that answered these questions. Im not going with speedtest.net. Im judging it based on certain websites and web-based programs which are now slower since I installed the ROM.
Did you try Barnacle? I haven't used the ROM you have, I run Liquid.
Most people claim that Wireless Tether works great with Liquid, but I couldn't get it to work. Once I used Barnacle, it not only worked, but I've been getting great speeds with it.
You need to run Imoseyon's kernel to fix the speed issue. It's been widely documented and discussed in almost every MR4 rom thread.
I'vd had the lean kernel flashed since the beginning and still no change in speeds

So i wanted to tether my G Tab to my Epic 4g phone. I installed Wifi Tether on my phone and it works great with other wireless connections like my computer. But it doesn't seem to work with this ROM... Did some general searches and it seems that AdHoc is not supported?? That there might be files that i can install that would fix this? Could someone help me out as to where i could find these file or whether it will work at all?
Thanks Guys and Gals...

I had an Epic Touch and had some issues with certain ROMs tethering. I just used my gTablet with my Motorola Photon yesterday and it worked fine. I'm using TeamDRH's JellyBean ROM and it works really well. You might want to consider giving it a shot.
I'm not 100% on which was to blame, the phone or the tablet, but here's their latest Jelly Bean ROM:

Maybe this will help. Might not be baked in to the Rom.
I'm running Gharmony 1.6.2 and it tethers perfectly with my EVO LTE, which is of course infrastructure tethering.
I had an epic 4g touch before my current phone and I recall that being adhoc tether. The fix might be baked in to Team DRH already.
Hope this helps.
