I don't know if this is the right section or not. Its a question so I assume this is right.
I have a droid eris flashed to cricket with eris lightning 3.02, running fw ver. 2.1. Everything works except after I start wireless tethering, the market always says there is a network problem try again. The only way to fix it is to restart my phone.
The market works before I start the tethering, tethering works fine. Even after killing the tethering app everything else still works, other apps can connect fine, it is only the market.
I have been looking around but cant seem to find anyone else with this problem. Its not a huge problem, just a minor annoyance I want to get fixed.
Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks!
Have you tried Google Talk after running tether? May not be related to your problem, I just know there is a dependency.
Hello XDA Developers,
I have an HTC thunderbolt, I'm running Cm7.1, the newest release that came out yesterday. My issue is that wifi or USB tethering do not work. Whether I connect usb tethering and enable the feature from the phone, or enable wifi tethering and connect through my laptop, the network connects, but then says no internet access and/or limited or no connectivity. My laptop connects to wifi internet fine.
I've had this problem for every iteration of CM7 for thunderbolt since June. Before moving to CM7, i remember trying tethering once or twice and it did not work. I've just decided now to try and get tethering working.
I've tried using the wi-fi tether app from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list as well as barnacle wifi tether, both have the same problem.
My main questions would be:
1. Is there any reason I have overlooked as to why tethering does not work on my phone? Is there some new verizon block to tethering for root users? Are there any settings I could try to get this working?
2. Are there any known issues with CM7 and thunderbolt tethering?
3. It seems weird if it was a hardware issue since my laptop does actually connect to the phone, it just has no network connectivity.
Thanks!
I had a similar issue and fixed it by downloading the open garden wifi tethering app https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether and changing the network to open on that app as well as the built in cm7 app. Then enable both apps and it should connect. Did for me.

Newest release came out about 20 minutes prior to your post CM7.1.1...check the rootz thread.
I've seen reports of this before. If memory recalls correctly, the devices weren't acquiring an IP correctly. Once you have it tethered, on the laptop/device try releasing and renewing your IP or disabling/enabling the adapter.
You are not the only person having this problem. I'm having this problem too and have not found a fix for it yet. I've found a pattern though, any ROM that I've loaded that was a build or based off of CM7, had the tethering problem. And as stated above, the problem about not acquiring and ip correctly is exactly what's happening.
Hopefully a dev or someone else can come along help resolve this problem. Apparently this problem is not very widespread as it seems that very few peeple have this problem.
Thank you everyone for your help.
keith.mcintyre26, I tried your suggestion of open garden wifi app, and it worked perfectly, just installed it and it worked. CM7 wifi tether still does not work though.

Glad to see you found a working solution. This did not work for me... Back to foyo or non CM7 based GB AOSP's...

I tried the app as well and It didn't work I am in a tricky area when it comes to data coverage though so I can't help but think that might be it? Unrelated: Sometimes I lose data coverage altogether (drops out, comes back, drops out, etc) when I'm in 4G coverage areas. Maybe the two are related,

I know this is not the problem where I live as I'm in full signal.
I just got onto this ROM, after being on BAMF Forever, forever, and LOVE IT. My only complaint and possibly a show-stopper -- Wi-Fi Tether doesn't work, and neither does the built-in tether app.
I've done a complete wipe. The client connects, but doesn't DHCP.
Any ideas?

Quick update -- Open Garden works...
Strange... But I guess I'm all set
I had/have the same problem with cm7 and bamf1.86. I finally got cm7 tether last night using barnacle, but it was at .3 mbs. I have yet to top 1mbs. That was with 4g(or so it said.) I have tried the included wifi tether, usb tether, barnacle, and open garden. Nothing works properly on either rom. Signal was between -80 and at worst -90.

Seems to be a common issue across newer roms lately for wifi tether.
I got mine fixed by downloading the newest experimental build.
Once installed go into settings, Check Disable wake lock, check wifi driver reload, also check routing fix. Furthermore, make sure you select the proper device, should be the first option once you open settings.
I am currently running an HP Touchpad with CM9 Nightlies, and use a Bluetooth Modem Dialer to tether to my Blackberry via Dial Up Networking.
However, many apps do not believe they have an internet connection. Anyway around this?
Examples: Browser works, Play Store works, but I can't download apps. Weather Channel doesn't work, but Tapatalk works.
Edit: Could be a carrier issue... but I doubt it. I'm thinking that different apps access the internet differently, I really don't know exactly.
I have an unlocked atrix 4G and am on simple mobiles cellphone service. She. I try accessing my data with my web browser I get a user agent error. However if I use any Gapps or even Tapatalk it works fine. Any help guys? I wish I could post a screenshot but im using tapatalk and don't have 10 posts yet.

Issue with data on Atrix with CM10
I am having the same issue.
The CM10 build works quite well wih this exception.
I am able to make recieve calls, wifi and most otherfunctionality.
However a data connection (internet, email, etc) is not available, even when enabled.
If you guys can get give me an idea on a place to start and/or similar instances, I can research further on this end.
I cannot use my Nexus 6 or Nexus 9 on WiFi, B/C I don't get my Gmail Emails & Snapchat won't tell me someone sent me something & Also this texting app I use called TextPlus won't tell me I got a Text Message until I turn off WiFi? I can use the Web listen to songs via Google Music All Access. The Videos on YT or Music on Google Music take a few seconds to load, Anybody else having this problem? I have other devices on WiFi like the usual Smartphones and Laptops with One Motorola XOOM Tablet that has never had this problem. I have Comcast Extreme 105 using an Docsis 3.0 Modem with the T-Mobile CellSpot ASUS Router.
Edit: Anyway I can fix this? It would be nice to use this tablet on WiFi most of the time since I get 5GB a month I would really not wanna used that up in a week because I don't get my emails on WiFi.
Edit: the tablet & Nexus 6 works fine on WiFi just that Gmail, Snapchat or Textplus won't work on WiFi to tell me I have new updates on them.
