[Q] Wireless tether issue - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay i am running liquid thunderbread v2.6 and for some reason when i activate wireless tether the app in the setting activates as well and cancels wireless tether out so i have to manually set up a wifi connection each time. Is this a known issue or is there a fix for it. I was thinking maybe there was way to delete the stock tethering setting but havent found anything so far.
Thanks in advance for any tips tricks and help.

I've been having odd issues with any and all WiFi tether apps.
Like only v 2.0.7 of Wifi-Tether works for older devices such as my old Droid1 and such, but I cant enable WEP on it.
Now on Barnacle, I can use WEP and my iPad/laptop sees my phone, except my Droid1 and some other wifi devices cant see it.
And the latest version of Wifi-tether, doesn't work at all for my phone.
I'm running stock GB OTA update with revoked-root methahod.

Weird yea all my devices see it but for some reason they cant connect because the stock one in the settings cancels it out and I have to manually enter it in

wifi tethering ain't working for me either. I am going to try a few things and report back later on. Just found out last night.
Using BAMF forever

Try deleting com.htc.tetheringguard worked for me but after deleting you cant use Verizon hotspot so make a back up.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button.

rooted tethering problems?

I have noticed that ever since I rooted my Thunderbolt I cannot tether. All devices will connect to my phone(other phones, computers, xbox, etc) but they cannot open a web browser. It used to work on the hotspot ap that came with the phone. The only thing I can think of is that on the stock app, I could change the security to wpa/wpa2/wep. On this new app I cannot change, am I grasping at something that isnt there or is there something else that needs to be done?
help me pleas,e, my neighbors internet wont be there forever. , .
I've been rooted for some time and it may be coincidence but sense the last 4g outage last week my tethering has "limited access" wired or wireless. I'm using liquid 3.0.2 built in wired/wireless hotspot. wifi apps I've installed don't work either now??? Help
Go here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and try the newest version thats available. Also in settings check the router fix option.
Also you can try open garden from the market..

Then it worked.
My neighbors now have one les person stealing their wifi. Thank you!

I'm on Liquid 3.2 and I've had the best luck recently with Open Garden (wireless tether app)
@ tatt: did you go to that link above and download the new app to your phone?
I never did this on the old Rom so it may be that.

I noticed that the android wifi tether app states that it only works for 3G and 2G. I wonder if this is just a "canned" statement? Does anyone know, for sure, if it works for 4G tethering?
Yeah I did, neither the old or new one are getting more than limited access. Know idea what may have changed on the PC side? Nothing new or changed? Just the outrage on Verizons end last week. I'm baffled. I have tried a couple other Rome with the same results. Sucks pdanet is a third of the speed.
There's a bug with CM7 if your using it, I'm having the same problem. I have a none stock kernel with it but I can't using wifi-tether or the built in tether. Makes me want to switch to my sense ROM. :/

It works for 4g, I use it all the time. Im running stock rooted sense
If you're running CM7 set your built in tethering to OPEN for security and run this version of wireless tether use the same name as the built in one and it'll work. I finally got it working a few minutes ago.
Thanks will give it a try when I get home.

It works on my 4g, I tested it with a speed test website and was getting 5mbs.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I dont know what I did but my hotspot can only hit .25 mbps now according to speedtest.net
I then watched the speed on the hotspot and it shows the same
Its been like this for a week now, does any one know the settings layout on the hotspot? Are theer any that could affect this?
I have rebooted my phone, switched airplane on and off. I then tested the speed on my phone and it is getting 4g, so the problem is with the hotspot.

You rock JRocker23! Always helpful - a Thx is in order. Of course the Market QR code returns "No Results Found"
Try changing the type of connection to Infastructure or Ad-Hoc. I don't remember which one it was, but one of these fixed a very similar issue for me.

[Q] roms with solid 4g hotspot

Ok so a bought a thunderbolt back in Nov but returned it cause I kept having issues with the hot spot and got the rezound which turned out to be even worse so now I am back to another thunderbolt after having tried a bionic as well. I have tried several different roms trying to get one that works well for hot spot and so far the only one that was somewhat stable(CyanogenMod 7.1.1) quit working after I put it in airplane mode and i wound up having to start over to fix the issues. So now I am running 2.11.605.5 after having downgraded from 2.11.605.9 so I have the radio and lte upgrade from the latest ota. I have looked around on the forum thread about the different roms but i havent really found any postings about how the hot spot has been working I have found a couple of roms that just flat out say that the hotspot isnt working at all and have avoided them but for the most part I havent found any that say if its stable or not. So the short of it is that I want to find a rom that is stable for hot spot use. Gotta give the bionic credit for the hot spot use. That thing was great but it has the worst screen I have seen so far on an android phone. Any help would be awesome in finding a rom that is good for this
Well is it the built in hot-spot that isn't working? If so just download Wireless Tether or Open Garden and go on tethering.
If you really do want a ROM, I'm using LiquidSmooth AOSP w/ Wireless Tether app that works great.
I've used Skyraider, BAMF 1.10 with Open Garden without any issues either.

I tried skyraider this time and i was using the stock app and wireless tether but I had not tried open garden but the stock and wireless tether were not working it was constantly dropping in and out it would stay connected according to my windows icon on my computer but i would have no access and i would get dced from games and my torrents would drop off completely. it would take a min or so for it come back on. had that problem with a couple of roms and some would just not work at all like bamf soab which i found out today has known issues with the hotspot. I will try open garden on skyraider i liked his roms when i had my dinc. thank you for the input. any other inputs would be greatly appreciated like maybe what i might do to stabilize this problem.

i have tried your recommendation and it has worked brilliantly on virus' eternity rom. So thank you for your ideas and support. I am a happy tbolt user now.
Thanks for the useful thread! I've been using the mobile hotspot recently, on stock 2.11.605.9 and it is just awful. It stops and starts, youtube HD just buffers all the time - it's basically unusable for anything except web browsing or email.
i am paying Verizon for the (dubious) pleasure of this barely-working feature.
So, I rooted, revolutionary-ed and installed WirelessTether. I did the configurations suggested here. Unfortunately, it's just as spotty as the stock mobile hotspot app. I notice no difference in performance.
Do I need to install one of the custom ROMs to see any benefit? Although I'm rooted and S-OFF, I'm still on the stock ROM.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions! :-D
PS: BTW, my LTE coverage is pretty good, and speeds on the phone itself are quite consistent and stable.
It's not a ROM issue. It's a Verizon issue. Every phone does it. I cancelled tethering because of this. Verizon doesn't seem to care that people want to tether for more than 5 mins without rebooting.

This is more of a router issues than phone issue. Try your routers website forum or google it.
From what I have read, I dont think you can open the nat when tethering from the phone

I think the issue is tethering via 4G, not from a router.
I'm frustrated as hell about not being able to tether 4G for no longer than 5 minutes at a time, after which I have to reboot my T-Bolt and my tablet.

I'm not finding "wifi router 3.1" or "wifi router 3.1 beta" in the Market anywhere. Is this an app? Just to clarify... this app will tether 4G LTE wirelessly to your device of choice for hours, correct? Thanks!
Edit: Found a link to what you're referring to in a different thread. Installed the APK, checked the box for the Wifi Fix, selected Thunderbolt, enabled access, and voila! Going on a solid hour of 4G tether with no disconnects! This seems to indeed fix whatever problem Verizon is having with the 5-minute disconnect.
For those who need it and may have missed it, here's the link for the fix:

Thats the one! Glad you found it. This topic should be stickied. Possibly the most asked questions on forums.

The tether apps are filtered from the market when accessed via Verizon, I believe.
I have used tethering quite a bit for Netflix, etc., on CM7 with the older android wifi tether. I switched from CM back to Sense just to try something different for a while and have used the stock tether app since then. I don't recall having a tether-related reboot. I'll probably switch to the new wifi tether, love the mac filtering in there.
I will say, though, that I always have to start wifi tether twice to get it to work (enable - disable - enable.) Then it's solid.
Edit: oh, and stuck.
Question: why is it that when I turn off my tablet, wifi won't reconnect without turning my phone screen on? Very strange. My tablet reconnects immediately to my home router, but it will only reconnect immediately to my phone as long as the phone screen is on. I've tried everything and can't solve it. Otherwise, 4G Hotspot works awesomely.

rom with great hotspot
while the wifi tether app with correct settings has given me success on most roms i've tried it on, i like the built-in and hacked wifi-hotspot on thunderstick full blown a lot. overall, full blown is a great rom, and the included hot spot works perfectly for me and keeps my number of installed apps lower, which i like as well. my .02 anyway.
I actually just installed MIUI Rom that came out a few days ago and that's been working fine. My problem with most things is that I either get good 4G or GPS, but not both. :/
For some reason though, any stock tether/wireless hotspot apps never work. The miui rom uses Cyanogen Mod.

I definitely want to thank your first and foremost whether this works or not. I thank you for your time. Secondly, 20gb a month? heheh I doubt ive ever hit that mark. This is my work phone specifically used for email and data and very little calls, I primarily use my personal phone samsung galaxy s2 for calls and text... but last I checked on mytmobile the most ive used in 4 years is 1.7gb lol and thats heavy for me hahaha. ty ty again.
I know I don't have a thunderbolt but the same issue appears on the droid incredible 2. I found a fix and posted it here

For some strange reason the cm team left out the two modules that activate WiFi and that's why you get that error.

What version of wireless tether are you using? The fix I posted was for v2.0.7. I have never had any kicking getting the beta builds to work.
Update: I just realized that I have dun disabled on my phone. Im not 100% sure but that may have something to do with why it works for me but not for you.

I think I might have to try infected eternity, I have not yet tried that. To my knowledge I believed I have flashed the latest radio (MR4).
Infected Eternity Rom installed, going to test the tethering now.
When i select the hotspot tethering and try to enable it just unchecks itself, I am running the latest MR4 radio and build 248 of the infected eternity rom. Guess im just not suppose to have this feature at all Thanks for everyone that has helped its truly appreciated.
I had some issues with different ROMs as well well getting wifi tether to work, but here is what I have which currently works:
a. Thundershed 1.5
b. IMO Lean Kernel 6.1 for AOSP
c. Latest Radio from 2.11.605.19
d. wireless tether 2.0.7
- Be sure to check the Routing Fix in Settings
When I start up Wifi Tether it brings up "Tethering or hotspot Active" in the status bar from the built-in hotspot, but that doesn't seem to affect wifi tether.
Also, when I first set it up I started it, let it setup the binaries and get superuser permission, then I stopped it, let it do whatever, then started it again.
I can connect without issue now. I hope this helps in some way.
I just got my thunderbolt today so maybe tomorrow I can look into it more for anyone interested and come up with a fix maybe. I haven't had a chance to get root but ill have time tomorrow.

[Q] wireless tether issues?

I just got my new s4 yesterday and finally got it tired today.my biggest thing I want root so bad is to tether.I still have my unlimited data with no internet at my house.I have tried numerous apps that have worked for me before and nothing seems to be working on this phone now. Haven't done any thing besides root on build me7..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I got bluetooth tethering working with no issues at all using the EasyTether app. That's on the Google Edition ROM, though.
Try treve's mod. I entered verizon with the limited data plan so I cant tell you if it works on the s4 but it worked on my old sprint note 2 and sprint is even tougher on wireless tether than verizon

I used SQLite Editor I had edited before I updated and changed and entitlement check. Now I tether using the stock application. Works great and no problems here, starting to get the itch to flash roms again but, since the bootloader is locked that is not gonna happen.

How do you use the sq lite? Ive never done that..just heard about it.
so i finally got it to work..i found another thread talking about the latest beta version of wireless tether, which for me was 3.3. changed to native frmework and it still opens the mobile hotspot and runs from there. what i dont understand is that i cant change the SSID and secure the network. if anybody might have an idea that would be awesome..i dont like having an open network. thanks

Must be rooted. Then edit a couple lines. At this moment off the top of my head i cant think think which where modified. I also used sq lite to add wifi hotspot quick toggle for the pull down screen.
I have unlimited data and what worked for me was "paying" for the unlimited tether package. Seriously it works. Whenever the subscription check pops up my hotspot turns on no problem...

Hacked Sprint Hotspot No Internet Connection

I'm on the newest sense rom from Captain Throwback but this has been happening to me since I was back on MeanBean. I can turn my Hotpot on and I get no errors and I can connect with my laptop, tablet, and desktop. On each of these devices, they connect just fine, but there is no Internet Connection. I have tried absolutely everything, Changing security settings, changing SSID, changing password, changing advanced settings, and trying the hacks below.
I've even tried the fix here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509613&page=2
I've even tried removing and adding all the build prop edits from MeanBean
This used to work no problem and I cannot pinpoint when it stopped working. I'm guessing it has something to do in my MSID settings or something on the cellular level. I don't think it is a hardware issue because I got WifiTether for root users to work.
Please any help would be awesome. I've literally tried everything
Please don't recommend me to use WIFI Tether. I'm not a fan of that app and my stock app should be working.
There is an updated hack recently posted in my thread - did you try that?
And technically, unless you have a tethering plan, it shouldn't be working, so you may want to think about that statement a bit.

I understand all that but I figured it you didn't have it on your plan, the error 69 would come up when trying to start it. I thought when is was hacked, Sprint wouldn't be able to see how your data was being used. On second hand, I do use a great deal of data so maybe I was flagged. Yes I did try the latest hotspot hack but I will flash again.
Ya nothing happened when I flashed the hotspot hack. This is just so weird. Any other suggestions would be awesome. I think this all started when I flashed the 3.17 firmware. I almost want to try flashing it again but I will have to unlock my bootloader again.
Ok so I've been doing a lot of testing and I've figured something out. When I drop the Network Mode to CDMA only, the hotspot works just fine. Does anybody else have problems with the hotspot when you are in LTE/CDMA mode with the stock app? I remember this being a problem way way back but I thought it was fixed or at least the app would only use CDMA data.
Yes. I had this same issue. Iptables isn't playing nice. I recommend JB Wifi Tether, it's been working flawlessly.

Have you found anything around the web to fix this? I can't call into Sprint and complain obviously.
What does the JB Wifi Tether app do? It seems to replace some things within the IPtables. Is there some way to create a script to do this automatically on a reboot so i can delete the app? Can I delete jtether once a run it once?
I personally want to try this script.

I'll give it a shot and let you know.
This guy here also has something going. Basically I want to be able to select it from my quick setting and not have to open the app every time.

So JB Wifi Tether works great. Just kinda suck you have to open an app to get tethering working. Anybody know of any scripts for the iptables that work at bootup?
