WiFi Tether Help!! - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Trying to get my friends rooted HTC thunderbolt on 2.3 (Numerous ROMS and Kernels) Wi-Fi tethering working. I'm using the google source tether for android phones and have tried numerious versions. I tried profile both auto and also selected the HTC thunderbolt as my profile. I have also enabled the routing fix option for HTC phones. NOthing works no matter what combination i use. The issue is It will connect but I have limited acces with no internet connection. I have never had the issue before on my old incredible and now galaxy S phone. Please help me get this working or a kernel and rom combo that works.
Thanks!

KillaSense 3.5.0 with imoyeson's leankernel (comes with the ROM) works no problem and full 4G speeds.
Also, you may want to try resetting your network adapter on your computer if you haven't already.
P.S. This probably isn't the right section for this post. Probably would have been better in the QnA or General forums, so if you can't find this thread later, check there as the mods might move it.

Thanks downloading it now and will give it shot. There were two version one with stock kernel and then just the normal. I'm going normal as that appears the one you are working with good results. Can you let me know what version of Google Tether you are using and what type of settings please.
ie:
Encryption or not?
Profile type:
is HTC routing fix enabled?
Thanks!!!

[Q] Wireless tether issue

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

[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:

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.

Thunderbolt ROM questions.

I have tried three different roms for my thunderbolt. None of which has connected with internet access via tether on my laptop. I went back to stock Rom and verizons hotspot and everything works.
What I would like, is a sense 3.? Rom (with the ring long) or an ICS build that has known working wifi tether.
I am not ruling out..that I have done something wrong..but have used the pre-installed tether apps AND download two from "play"..still show no internet connection on the laptop..even after enabling settings.
Any direction or suggestions are much appreciated.

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.

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] htc rezound wifi tether

hello I'm new to all the rooting and installing custom roms I am about to buy an htc rezound but was wondering if the roms that are posted on the rezound Android Development page already come with the wifi hack or will I have to do something else to get the free wifi tether THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP
Most come with a wifi tether app, ones i know of are Nils Business Sense and Rezrom( I think Scott's Cleanrom also). It takes a couple extra steps to get working-
Change device profile to Galaxy Nexus LTE & checkmark routing fix. Enable & disable, allowing root both times.

No. The wifi Tether app allows the User to bypass verizons tether charge. but if you are on a capped plan, it will still use your Data.

I've ran into an issue with it. I am on Rezrom Ex 3.4 ICS.
My issue is: With galaxy nexus LTE selected, wifi tether starts without errors, however my wifi interface starts to have issues. I installed the latest version of wifi tether, 3.1 beta 14 and using the generic ICS device profile it seems like it is going to work, however then it gives the message "Device has taken back control of wifi interface" or something to that effect. If anyone knows a fix for this I'd really like to know what to do. Dont really want to have to load a new rom just to get this working so I can tether my new nexus 7.
Anyway it seems there aren't many people having this problem (that i have found anyway) if I find a solution ill post with info.
Found thread with fixes. If your having this issue or any others try the steps here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540707

It usually isn't an apk that can be taken out. It's buried deep in the framework.
