Hi Everyone,
First of all, I DID search on the forums for this same issue and I didn't find any solution.
So here is my problem:
I have an Atrix w/ 4.5.91 stock ROM (unlocked/rooted). Modified settings.db so Entitlement Check is set to 0. My carrier is Personal Argentina.
I can enable wifi and usb tethering but none of those would work. I get "no internet connectivity" on my Windows 7 computer with both of them, no matter what I do. BUT if I use a third-party app like EasyTether, it works like a charm.
I usually don't like installing 3rdparty apps/drivers on my work laptop, so my question is: Is there any way of troubleshoot this issue / did this happen to anyone? Is there anything I can change to make it work?
Thank you a lot!

Try android tether. Nothing to install on laptop. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. Only problem I found on hubby's new epic 4g touch is after turning it off, wifi wont work again which is solved by a reboot.

Thank you. I'll check it out but sitll USB would be a great option whenever I have to save battery.
Apart from that I'd really like to know why the native apps for tethering are not working. Maybe they use a different method?
Try setting the entitlement check to "disabled" with no quotes. That's how mine worked..

Hey I'm new to android, just got a vibrant last week. Decided to unlock it as I travel a lot. The unlock worked, but now I'm having issues with my wifi. I can connect to a wireless network but I cant load pages. The wireless signal is strong and I tried with different routers, but still no luck. Looked through the forum and googled it but couldn't find a solution. If some one could please help with this, it would be much appreciated
try clearing your current wifi settings including remembered connections, passwords, and everything else...then re-scan for networks all over again, that's all I can think of for now
By that you mean just gong into settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings and then just forget the net work, rescan, and rejoin the network? If so, I did that but am still getting the same result. If you can think of anything else or if I didnt do what you suggested correctly please let me know. Thanks

yeah, thats what I meant :/....hmmm...sounds like your connection is working, can you download stuff from the market or is it just the browser? cause I unlocked mine too and wifi works fine
No I cant download anything from the market. I cant do anything that requires an internet connection, but it does show that I am connected to a network.

Have you been able to try another network? My first thought was it was in Ad-Hoc mode but I could be wrong. If nothing else restore to stock firmware and then try a different unlock.
Happened to me too. It would show the wifi icon on the notification bar but wouldn't load pages. I'd go to the settings and it'd say can't turn off wifi or can't turn on wifi. And when it was "on" I'd say connecting to modem then it'd just stop. When I was using the browser on wifi it would load a page even when I had full bars. I had to turn it off then back on to load another page. Is this similar to the problem your having?

I hope this doesn't sound stupid but yesterday I uninstalled Advanced Task Manager and poof my wifi started working again. The phone also seems to suffer from less occasional lag without it installed, but that's another story for another thread. Prior to this I had to manually turn my wifi connection off and on, but even that didn't always work. Since the uninstall I have not my wifi connection once. I am currently using the stock rom, rooted with minor adjustments here and there.
hi guys, i also have this problem.
i will be taking the phone in to the tmobile store on thursday.
it shows that i am connected via wifi; however, anything that requires an internet connection does not load.
very frustrating, since just yesterday i used the samsung kies software to tether a network for my laptop. i was testing the capability of the vibrant to act as a modem, and it worked just fine.
any help would be appreciated!
thank you
Charlie
connected but not connected
I also have this problem.
In my Vibrant shows that i connected, but i can not load pages. Someone
found any solution to this problem?
Hi all,
This is happening to me too. Rebooting seems to get Wifi working correctly again. But the problem comes back eventually.
Maybe a bug in the latest JI6 update?
Wi-fi problem.

Froyo's update will fix this issue?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I've an unlocked att atrix 4g which I use in India. I'm trying to enable the Mobile hotspot app in order to get Internet on my macbook.
When I try to enable the Mobile Hotspot button in this app, I get "account not setup for Mobile Hotspot", and in the notification bar I get "to enable go to att.com/wireless..." When I go to that site they ask me for my Mobile no. and password, which I don't have, because I'm not using the phone in the States.
Any suggestions how to get it enabled?
Thanks.
You can try the barnacle wifi tether app. Google it. Or Pdanet. Or the hotspot enabler in cm7.

Simple solution is to just flash a ROM with the entitlement check disabled. Such as any of the newer gingerbread-based ROMS. Or just disable the entitlement check yourself. Get SQLite or another program, it only takes a second or two and following some simple directions. I had to do it once and it was a snap. Good luck, and happy flashing.

this might still not work for him. im using homebase thats suppose to have tethering enabled but it still doesnt work for me in canada on fido network. it looks like it turns on and i can see the network but i cant connect to my laptop or desktop.
Bhayankar-if the phone is unlocked then you can find barnacle online and install it. thats what im currently using.
You could also use the airplane mode + wifi, go I to the market and download barnacle
Hello everybody,
I've looked all over the web trying to find a solution for this particular problem but I'm yet to find a solution and I hope you nice fellows at XDA can help me out.
My situtation is that whenever I connect my phone to my computer, all goes well, until I tap that nasty little 'USB Tethering' button, then all goes to hell. My computer then can't find my until I disable it again.
Transferring files over works flawlessly, all works well until I press USB tethering.
So my question is, how do I fix this? I need this to work for me to use my computers internet connection on my phone.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
~Filb
P.S. I'm on CM9 Nightlies.
EDIT: I have USB debugging enabled, without it my computer can't find my phone whatsoever. All the correct drivers are installed (via Kies recently).
EDIT 2: Ok, now my computer recognizes my device when I enable USB tethering. But when I check the network, it says that it's an 'Unidentified Network'.
Still in need of help.
Anybody?
This is a forum, not an instant help IM client. If someone hasn't responded to your inquiry yet, it's because no one who knows the answer to your question has read your post yet. When someone does, they will answer.
And that's not what usb tethering does. Usb tethering lets you use your phone's internet on your computer. Sounds like you want to reverse tether.
I posted the above post so my thread doesn't get lost, and if somebody knows the answer, then they'd see the post instead of it being lost, and me never getting any help.
I do want to reverse tether, but I can't do that until this problem is fixed.
EDIT: And me thinking this is a Q&A forum, silly me.
ctomgee answered your question. Turn off USB tethering. Thats used to connect a laptop/PC to the internet through your phone. It has nothing to do with browsing or copying your files from phone to PC.

I didn't say anything about this NOT being a Q&A forum. But bumping your thread after only 3 hours is ridiculously impatient, and technically violates one of the forum rules.
Also, I'm not positive since I don't actually use reverse tether, but I'm fairly certain you don't do it by turning on usb tethering.
I tried it as some user posted about some app from market, but it never worked.
As far I think, reverse tether doesn't work on s2
I bumped my post because it went to second page, I guess that's a little impatient and I'm sorry about that.
Regarding the reverse tether, USB tethering must be enabled to use the app 'Reverse Tether', so that's where the problem is.
@Bored_Stupid My problem isn't transferring files, that works fine. It's just when I enable USB tethering, the connection from my phone to my pc is lost therefore disabling me from using the app I need for reverse tether.

Are you talking about this app? As far as I can tell, you are NOT supposed to activate USB tethering to use this app. Is that not accurate? Or am I reading it wrong?
EDIT: I just watched the video. The app actually activates tethering when you turn it on. Sorry. Well, maybe this is an issue with CM9? I dunno. Try checking the CM9 nightlies discussion thread.
Yup, that's the app.
You must have USB tethering enabled for the reverse tether process to initiate, otherwise it won't start.
I don't think it's CM9 as it was working a few days ago when I just flashed the ROM, but I'll check anyway.
Hi,
Just a question that I can't find an answer to anywhere, does anyone else experience the following.
When I enable tethering or wireless hotspot the other device/s that connect get internet access, but my phone has no internet access itself, so I don't get email and can't use internet reliant apps at the same time. As soon as I enable tethering/wireless hotspot the phone has no internet access.
The main reason I ask this and don't think it is meant to happen is because a friend of mine has a Galaxy SII and he can use the internet on his device whilst other devices are tethered.
Does anyone else experience this, does anyone know of a solution if it is not support to do this.
Cheers
Jon
It works on my device. What rom are you using?
If you're using CM10 or a kang of CM10 tethering doesn't work buddy....

I have heard of T-mobile charging extras for thetering but your situation seems different. Hopefully someone will help you otherwise try searching "T-mobile thetering" or such on your device's forum and try to make an idea of what's going on. good luck.

maybe its android has some bugs for that... in my device here , if i turnon the hotspot / tether it does perfectly,
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.
http://albertomilone.com/?p=581
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-1-4-4-2-nexus-4-lte-lte-tethering-t2416822
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?
