[HELP!] Wireles tethering/Hotspot... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cannot for the life of me figure why this is not working. I have tried various roms (currently on the latest cognition/O2UK) and they are all the same. People have reported no problems on this rom...so is something I am doing? Is there a way to teel if mobile provider is blocking this? It worked on my hd2 (running Android)
I did search and found peoople with problems but never a fix, its driving me mad.. Any help or advice would be great,
Cheers folks

Some rom makers have deleted wifisharing.apk because it used to cause a lot of battery drain. Check in /system/app whether it's present or not.

Thanks for the reply. Im obviously being blind...cant see the folder. I will keep searching (just installed astro) so will contine to look!
Thanks, its driving me mental haha

No, its not there...what can I do next?

[Q] Serendipity 8.1 ROM issues

I have ran into some issues with Serendipity 8.1 and I have just about read the entire developers thread for it. I know that there are others that are having the same issue, but because I am new and don't have enough posts to post in the developers forum, I must post my issues here instead.
First issue.
MMS doesn't work. I have tried many work a rounds to fix this, but none have worked for me. Any advice or help on this subject matter is greatly appreciated.
Second issue.
Data Reconnect from being in airplane mode doesn't work. I haven't tried any fixes for this because I don't know where to begin. Any advice or help on this subject matter is also greatly appreciated.
Outside of those two issues, Serendipity 8.1 is a great ROM that significantly improved my battery life.
Until I can fix it, I will be using UnNamed 1.0.4
Thanks,

Flashing GTG's "UnNamed v1.04" custom rom is a very good choice,
even my brother "Mikey" could not have made a better one.
I am currently using UnNamed 1.0.4 while I wait for Serendipity to be fixed. I got better battery life with Serendipity...but that might be because a few things didn't work right. Who knows.

Google Maps wont rotate?

Like it says. I have looked all through my settings and found nothing to resolve it. The issue is when I am moving my map will not make the direction I am travelling point up. It used to do this when I was running GB. But since getting onto ICS it wont do it. Any suggestions or questions to help would be fine. Thank you for your help in advance.

The compass is broke in ICS for the fascinate, until it is fixed this issue will exist.
Well that sucks. Its better than 2.3 so I will have to deal with it. Hopefully them super smart folks at AOKP will fix it before to long.

I drive for a living and that is one of the reasons I flashed ICS on my fassy.
Google navigation always crashed and froze on 2.3 for me.
Now I'm back to Froyo until the voice dialer is fixed in ICS. Can't hear the damn thing plus there is no confirmation .
My voice dial works fine. What ICS are you running? Also have you tried a different kernel?
The map rotation finally works. It took going to AOKP Build 34 and IcyGlitch V14-B6 for it to finally go. Thank goodness.

an internet problem(new thread)

In short: after a while (I'm not sure how much can happen in an hour and can also within 6-10 ..) Internet just getting crazy and not work anymore, he decides not to work any more and even have signs of reception (also with full reception that is four bars) and even I connected to the quick (and the problem is not the network because it happens basically everywhere) I tried to fix it through the Recovery: <advence> toggle wifi premmision tried through the tarminal emulator things short, I can not find a solution and I'm sure the problem is the kernel that before I installed it and I just had the ROM with the web to work right without the kernel .. but this phone is worth 1 doller that the games barely moving .. so if possible I need a solution that will work on this kernel! Please Help

Try a different rom or kernel maybe?
I use this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589710
I've never had a problem with WiFi with it. If you keep having the problem, it may be your phone that is buggy and if you have a warranty you should have it fixed.

Please only post once, when someone can help you they will post a reply.
Anyway onto the main topic, Basically as said above by Sirp0p0, I would try another ROM, Personally I have no idea what kind of ROM to try, just off the top of my head GTR (Gamer - Talho - ROM), but that is only based on the screenshots, I personally have not tried it.
Just from my own experience, try out different ROMs, find the one that you personally like and suites your own style. If any bugs / issues are found, read the forum / previous posts there maybe updates or updates coming.
When you say it happens everywhere, please describe what you mean.. If you mean everywhere _in_ your house then it maybe a router problem / DHCP disconnecting you, it could also be a screen time out issue, I know that when I am connected VIA wifi to my net, if my screen locks, my internet disconnects (on stock p500 GB rom ver, 2.3.3).
In short it could be various things, to be able to help you can you give us some more information, your rom, build number, can you provide any screenshots? Also how are you trying to access the internet? Through what application exactly? It is also possible it's a buggy app? but these are just my thoughts and ideas, maybe some other XDA members will be able to help you or give you more info than me.
everywhere=my house..school ..friend house and stuff like this.. and what you are talking about is wifi sleep policy i turn it to never so it isnt my problem..but ty for trying
any body else?plz help?
Please help someone

Data and Wi-Fi turns on

Hi.
My data and Wi-Fi keeps turning itself on. I googled around and found that this problem has been around for a while and a lot of people are complaining about this however there still isn't any solution. Some suggested that ShopSavy was doing this, but I uninstalled it and still got the problem, and I even re-installed the ROM. Looks like this is happening to ICS users only.
Really need some solution to this...
HTC Incredible S
Android version 4.0.4
IceColdSandwich vivo-8.3.AOKP-ROSSI
This bug is really annoying, need help.

Are you using any custom rom?

Well, yes, IceColdSandwich. But this problem has occurred even to the stock ICS ROM users.

GPS dead after installing 5.0 OTA

Has this happened to anybody else? The GPS WAS working on my GPe, I used it frequently before the update. I've tried a multitude of different apps, but it's just dead Jim.
I don't really expect anyone to reply to this post, but I figured I'd just throw it out there.

Try fasterGPS and then run GPS Data and leave it for a good while...
just tested mine and maps.google didn't work so am installing these now...
Edit
after installing fasterGPS I got a fix and google maps could get a pos, but chrome didn't want to - this may be something I've turned off on it though

Thank you for the reply. I installed Faster GPS, but it won't run because I don't have root.
I've got the same issue ...GPS is no longer working after the OTA ....
