So on my Vivid, I have Wajee's De-Sensed rom which I just call the nonSENSE rom (get it?). As of his build 0.7, I can use Wi-Fi hotspot via FoxFi and my laptop recognizes it just fine. However, when I try to get my Nook to connect to the same hotspot that I create via FoxFi, it doesn't work. It recognizes the hotspot and says it has full signal, but tries endlessly to connect and in the process the signal icon reads just one bar.. never actually connects and usually reverts back to saying "Saved" under the hotspot name. On both the Nook and my laptop, the network name is always AndroidAP regardless of what I set it to in FoxFi. Laptop says it connects successfully but there is no actual data connection.
My Nook is on ICS Alpha 0.02 and connects to Wi-Fi networks fine otherwise.. I really would like to use it as a navigation unit in my car but even now that hotspots ACTUALLY work on my Vivid, I STILL can't use the Nook... any suggestions?
Bump.
I would appreciate the same.
Search for the ad-hoc fix.

Hi everyone .. I'm having issues tethering with my a70it through a rooted HTC Dream (G1) with Cyanogen 6.1
I have installed Wireless Tether for root users, and it works fine over wifi with my laptop, but my a70it doesn't see it using wifi, and its a bloody batery sucker.
So I've tried using BT. I change Wireless Tether to use BT, pair de archos and then in options I see the phone ready for tethering. I set it up and when I click on "Tether" I've found two different problems.
Sometimes it just stays "connecting" for a while then says it's impossible to connect, and sometime it connects, I can browse using navigator for some seconds, but then, without doing anything I get network error and I can't use internet anymore... though it stays connected (the little phone in the a70 taskbar keeps showing).
Anyone had this kind of problems? Is there any workaround to make it work?
Thanks!
Moved to general as not rom development
Try this Wireless tether apk, it is a older version and it works perfect for me on my incredible and on my wife moto2.
Bought my gtablet a few weeks back when it was on woot and have loved it so far. Did the Clockwork/TNT Lite setup, and have added a few games and apps...
I'm not sure if it is an app I installed or something else, but right now it will connect to WiFi as always, but the internet doesn't work. Other devices using the same access points connect and work perfectly, just my gtablet is failing. It goes through what appears to be a normal connect and gets an IP without any failure and shows connected, but none of the news, marketplace, or web browser apps are able to connect to the internet.
Any advice to trouble shoot network connectivity? I had recently installed LauncherPro and was working on installing Titanium Backup Pro, (which I either didn't actually download and was just emailed a key, or it never installed because I can't find it anywhere...)
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem with the ad-hoc wifi connection to WMwifirouter. The gtab shows it is connected with an IP, but no internet traffic will pass. That same ad-hoc wifi connection works with other winXP laptops.
However, wifi connections to my two other wifi router works fine.
I'm on stock 3389 with tnt enhancement pack.
Adhoc problem sounds gateway related.... the former issue... id start with a wipe.

I have the same issue - was it fixed yelrx8 ?
Ok so I have updated to ed01 and rooted my fascinate. Everything seems to be working ok except now when I try to connect my xoom or ipod touch using the WIFI Tether 3.0, it disconnects the 3g. Usually I have a red and green arrow under the 3g icon, but if I have wifi tether on, a dim "D" is under it instead, now I can connect to the wifi tether from both these items but they give me errors saying "NO internet connection" Has Verizon put some sort of block in the rom???. Also if I open the browser or market on my phone the 3g signal activates again, but still no internet to my xoom or ipod touch.

I'm having same problem but with my dell studio 15. Odd thing is my HTC Eris that's not activated anymore connects to my fascinate using wireless tether. I updated my WiFi drivers and it still won't connect WiFi to my pc. I'm gonna try on ny work laptop tomorrow. I'll keep you updated.

I have two laptops and one LAN connection. Say I connect the LAN to laptop-1. Then I use Mhotspot software to turn that laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot and connect laptop-2 to that hotspot. This way I have internet on both laptops without any additional router. I'm using this method for 7/8 months now.
The problems starts when I connect my HTC Titan to that hotspot. I can't access internet on Titan or Laptop-2, even though they're connected. As soon as I disable wifi on my Titan, internet on laptop-2 starts to work again. But it doesn't work the otherway, means if I disable wifi on laptop-2, Titan still doesn't work. Wifi signal from Titan somehow stalls the network. I'm almost certain because I have an android phone too (Galaxy S). I can connect the galaxy and laptop-2 at the same time and both works flawlessly. But whenever I start Titan, the virtual network stalls. Galaxy shows its connected but can't browse, Laptop-2 shows its connected but can't browse, Titan shows its connected but can't browse. Is it something to do with windows phone? Or I'm doing something wrong.
Note, the Titan is new but the Galaxy is old and the galaxy never created this problem. I tried to connect the Titan alone to the network, but obviously it also didn't work.
Thanks for any help. I don't want to buy a new router just for Titan :crying: :crying:
Update
I have somewhat narrowed down the problem. The networks actually stalls soon after I open the the marketplace or resume any app download. If I browse through mobile IE or use the facebook/email app it seems to work fine. But after opening Marketplace, the network stalls within minutes.
And another clarification, I do not use any sim with my phone yet. I'm still not sure I want to use Windows phone as my primary device yet. So 2G/3G + Wifi issues, pointed in other threads is not an issue here. I don't have sim, so no chance of cellular data to conflict with wifi. I would really appreciate some help here!
Running stock, clean install of .12. My Hotspot (which I do pay for, so that isn't the issue) isn't behaving at all. The phone is broadcasting the network and devices can authenticate, but they're not being routed to the Internet once they're in. "Limited connectivity" or "No Internet" statuses on my PC, lack of IP config details on my iPod/Pad.
I called VZW support last night and the guy had me shut the phone off, then he reset something on his end and had me turn it back on again. For an evening it ran like a top. Today I'm right back where I sarted. It *can* work, it just isn't.
Interestingly, when I run Mobile Hotpot, it gives no indication of trouble, but in the Tethering & mobile Hotspot menu in Settings, when i run the Hotspot, I get "Error" showing up in there. Doesn't say what kind of error, no detail/debugging, just "Error."
To recap:
ICS .12, stock
WiFi network ok, Routing not (apparently)
"Error" in settings when Hotspot is on.
Only thing I've seen that sounds anything like this was an APN issue on a different carrier's ICS phones post-update. I'm stumped at this point and like my odds better here than I do calling Verizon again...
I am having the same problem after OTA ICS, I can turn my hotspot on and it says connected to 1 device (my laptop) and when I try to connect to the wifi it takes a while and says "limited connection" and will not work. If I go to my mobile settings it says hotspot...error. usb tethering (internet connection mode) still works but the wifi hotspot doesnt at all, I thought they were supposed to fix this!
