[Q] Tethering Problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My brother installed a new ROM on my phone and now I can't tether with my Samsung Galaxy Tab. This happened before and I had to go in and delete a program but can't remember what it was called, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

TheBrainsRom on SSpeed Kernel Xperia U Failing to broadcast SSID on Tethering
I recently installed a new Custom Rom "TheBrainsRom" on the SSpeed Kernel v3 on my Xperia U. All was fine until i tried to turn on the Tethering. It shows that it is tethering but then it doesnt broadcast. At times, the Status Bar also gives a force close issue.
My question is that is there anyone else going through this problem? Is there anyone who could tell me if this is usually to do with the Kernel or ROM handles such functions independently. What could i do in order to avoid having to reflash the device.

you're right wifi doesn't work on v 13, but now in v 16 worked perfectly.

theres new versions every second hard to keep up!

No, v 16 is the pre-final.
but so far everything is working perfectly, you should try it.

[Xperia S] Problem at Tethering on Stock Rom + Custom Kernel/Custom Kernel/Custom Rom

I'm having problems in trying to do WiFi tether in my Xperia S. When i try to connect any device at my portable hotspot (at least i've tried with a Galaxy S3, Optimus 3D, Linux Notebook and Windows 7 Notebook), the device just cannot lock the IP address. It stays a bit in "Obtaining Ip Address", disconnects, tries to connect again, "Obtaining Ip Address", disconnect. Are any of you having issues like this?
Could we try to pinpoint the problem? It would be a custom kernel problem or a custom rom problem, a combination of custom kernel/stock rom problem and others? Maybe someone know somenthing that i dont, and it would be nice to have it documented here, so i created this topic to ask for your help in this issues! How can I solve it? Better, how can we solve it?
So above is the list of kernels and roms that i have tried and failed miserably in make my tether work:
Stock Rom Generic UK 6.1.A.0.453 with:
XSX Kernel 3.1
Advanced Stock ICS Kernel 11
The only mod i have at the phone is QuickPanel
i've been trying, using my self compiled kernel and stock ICS rom, nothing wrong with tethering, it just working fine...
Thanks for the test fajarep!
Here i got nothing!
Failed trying now:
- Flash LT26_6.1.A.0.452_Generic_CH_1257-3740_.ftf (read somewhere that generic/international firmwares have no restriction in tethering)
- Many tethering apps, rooted and non-rooted ones (max i got is a message of failure in setting ad-hoc)
-Adding a ",dun" at the end of my "APN Type" in Data-Management-mimimi-i-dont-remember-put-the-name-here-later-menu

hmmm.., I don't use Generic version, only using our SEA ICS version, it maybe doesn't have any problem with tethering stuff. So, I can't help anymore..
No problem with wifi tethering on stock ics and also on miui (both 2.7.20 and 2.7.27 with advanced stock kernel build 11). During the last two weeks I used it every day without any issues.

Next trying = MIUI 2.7.27
How is the battery life in comparison with stock?

Battery life is absolutely great in standby and just as the stock with the screen on. I have no complaints regarding the battery with miui.
In a quick test it seems that with MIUI i can tether. I will do further tests and report here
Glad to read that and to be somehow helpful!

[Q] Wifi and bluetooth problem

Hello all,
My friend has a sony xperia ray.
When he's trying to turn on the wifi, it says "connecting" and after a while it disconnect automatically.
The same thing is happening with the bluetooth.
Does anyone else have this problem?
At the time, he was running gingerbread 2.3.4. He updated to ICS 4.0.4 but the problem still exists.
He told me that he dropped his phone and that problems began after that.
If that's the case, does anyone have a disassembly tutorial which shows where the wifi and bluetooth modules are in the phone? I searched on youtube, but it didnt say where the modules where.
Thanks in advance..

[Q] Wifi AP on ICS/JB - Xperia Mini Pro sk17i

Hello, I have a problem with the wifi ap in all roms / kernels I've tried based on ICS & JB, I can not get internet connection for any device. I tried several kernels and roms and tried to connect different laptops, pc computers, etc ...
I have no problem with kernels and roms based on GB, so I guess it's no problem of mobile.
I currently use the lupus v7 kernel and the Hepta Erro 4.2.2 rom, all is working perfect except this.
If anyone has the same problem and was able to fix it, would be greatly appreciated to help me.
Greetings.

Thanks Alex, but it is not the same problem. My wifi works well, what does not work is the wifi hotspot or wifi ap.
I had the same problem as you say, and I solved it by installing the kernel v7 lupus. Then from the terminal I used some commands to restart the wifi, it was easy. Think i remember they were these:
/su
/lupus
After I chose the option "5 / Clean & resolve tweaks", then restart
Hope it helps!
