Trying to help a buddy on his thunderbolt apply this zip file leak to fix the hotspot drop problem
It downloaded as 2.11.605.19.zip
It's supposed to be the fix for the hotspot
But I don't use htc at the moment
I tried to rename it as update.zip and apply as update in recovery but no luck
What's the process I'd anyOne knows about thIs new leak fix
I'm having the same problem with my thunderbolt I put the eternity rom beats edition on and i even downloaded a wifi tether app. it connects but doesn't send or receive packets
I'm just now getting around to looking at tethering my TBolt. Just wondering, does this app/update require Verizon tethering subscription?
If you download and use the wireless tether app it has to be setup properly to work. Under device profile select thunderbolt. Scroll down and select router fix.

The router fix may be the step I was missing. I'll give it a try right now. THANKS!

Ya a guy pm'd about that but thanks
Posting just in case someone else searching for a solution runs across this thread:
Seems like solutions for getting wifi tethering to work is all over the place. For me, wifi tethering for root seemed to start, and other devices could see it, but the devices could never connect to the Internet. In my case, switching to open garden solved the issue.
I haven't had any issues with any form of tethering with this phone. I was even able to share my internet from the phone, to a net book, and then to my ps3 via a wifi router. I know a lot of others have been having problems with it though and Im wonder if its possibly a hardware difference between the phones.

How would it be a hardware difference when the phones are the same

Sometimes they use parts manufactured by different people. If someone can make a part cheaper then chances are they'll use it. Especially, when a device has been out for a while or out of production.This happened when I had an Eris. They changed the touchscreen manufacturer and some people started to find in some roms the touchscreen wouldnt work.

Is there some sort of wi-fi emulator out there? Amazon app of the day won't let me download some of the apps, but 4G is twice as fast as my wi-fi connection at home.
Hello, and welcome to XDA
I would love to help answer your question, however your post is somewhat ambiguous.
If you could, please indicate in more detail what the particular problem is.
I am going to take a leap here and assume that your problem is that wireless tether sets up an ad-hoc network instead of a regular wifi network.
however if this is not the case, then please let me know. I will do the best I can to help you.
Hmm I was wondering the same thing. His problem isn't anything to do with teather. It's that Amazon will have free apps that say they require a WiFi connection on phone to download do to there size.
If your in an area where you can't connect to a WiFi network Amazon will not let you download. Even if your on 4g for some reason the server will only allow a WiFi connected phone to download which really sucks.
So he wants to be on his 4g connection but fool Amazon's server into thinking he is connected via WiFi

Yeah this is for the Amazon Market. Main problem is that Amazon only allows certain apps to be downloaded over wifi. It sucks and as of yet there is no workaround that I know of. I'm sure some form of proxying would work but that's just as much of a pain as doing any kind of workaround. Amazon just needs to remove this limitation as a whole. I mean really where's the benefit for them to have you use your wifi connection vs your mobile connection.

I just grabbed that using 4g, but I've had that wifi issue before.
EDIT: I guess I didn't get it with 4g. It looked like it had downloaded and said update but then I saw it was hung up and it started after I switched to wifi.
Quite silly at this point, they could just give you the large data download warning that I believe the Market gives you.
If they hear from enough people I would bet they would change it. They started a packing feedback after I returned a hdd 3 times and bought somewhere else due to poor packing. I'm sure they had many complaints.

I found this just looking around:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/343...w-large-downloads-without-wifi-root-required/
The dilemma:
Just moved into a new home and I don't have internet or cable for a week. So, with my Rezound I thought I would just tether to my computer and hook my computer to my tv.
I downloaded PdaNet and got a USB error. I have 3 USB ports and 3 USB cords including the one that came with the phone and none worked. Error code=1. I then tried easytether and same problem.
So, just for ****s and giggles I plug my wife's Droid 3 and it works no problem. Watching Hulu with buffering issues and all. WTH man?
I'll take any suggestions. Is there a Tether program that works or settings to try?

I had problems with this also.
When I was running CleanROM, my iPad 2 would never connect. It would see the hotspot just fine and seemed to connect, but I could never getan active Internet connection.
Then I flashed the ineffabilis ROM and whatever version that ROM is running works perfectly for me.
For the record: I haven't had any problems with pdanet on my stock Rezound.
Do you have USB Debugging enabled and the phone in "charge only"?
Sent from my HTC Rezound.
Yes on both counts. I have a 2nd laptop and it takes a couple reboots to get it working.
On the working laptop I'm running Windows 7 (but no HDMI). On the non-working I'm running Vista (but my wife's D3 works).
I use Easy Tether with no problems on my stock Rezound.

I have this problem too and it all boils down to how the signal is being broadcast and weather or not the receiving device can accept it. Seems that my tablets (xoom and flyer) as well as my ps3 need a softap connection while the only thing I can make broadcast is adhoc. Sucks! I'm sick of switching Sims back to my Tbolt just to get some wifi!
Listen to me. *****ing about something like multiple tabs and phones to obtain free wifi. Talk about "1st world problem's" what's next? Gotta take my 24's off my car and go back to BS 20's!? Lol. Jk. I don't have rims

Tethering OK except with encryton
I have run Ineffabilis and Nils and am able to connect unencrypted wireless tether on both. Whenever I enable encryton, the wireless tethered network is seen but I never get a request for a password when attempting to connect and then get an internet connection error message on the guest ipad or laptop.

This is kinda what I'm talking about. Hit show details when the broadcast starts and fails. You'll see that it fails when configuring softtap. Adhoc works, but a lot of devices don't see it and can't encrypt. Kinda blows.... I hate switching Sims back to my Tbolt just to get wifi on my devices.

I am using "Wifi Tether for Root Users" 3.1 beta 10 and it works perfectly fine for tethering in most cases, as long as your other device can connect to ad-hoc networks. I did have to use the "generic" device profile and enable the "Routing Fix" option in settings to get the devices to connect properly though.

Actually, I can consistently connect with encryton off. If I enable access control, I can usually connect. If I enable encrypton, forget it.

Fantastic. I guess I should be more specific. *MY* devices don't see the broadcast. Rooted flyer on GB, roooted xoom on ICS and a ps3. My xoom DID see a broadcast when I was on a HC rom, but factory xooms on HC. Ever saw it...
Just wish it worked flawlessly like Tbolt. I've tried mss clamping, router fix etc... Maybe I'm wrong, but it Right be related to something pertaining to not having full S OFF. Idk...

Most android devices can't connect to ad-hoc by default. For the Xoom, you need to look for a wpa_supplicant file that is modified for ad-hoc devices. The same most likely applies to your Flyer. I have no idea about the PS3 though... but I would also doubt it has any default support for ad-hoc networks.
I am using the modified wpa_supplicant file from the Xoom forums on my Asus Transformer to get ad-hoc compatibility for tethering, and it works absolutely perfectly.

You can use a modified wpa _supplicant file on the Zoom to connect to ad hoc connections. I can probably track down the thread if youneed it.

Any one having any luck tethering to a ps3? Anyone find a way to broadcast not in ad_hoc mode?
Im stuck out of town and have been trying various versions of wifi thether... all with no luck.
Im about ready to go to walmart and tether to laptop and had connect (internet share) to the ps3. But I would rather tether if possible.
After I installed the new ICS leak I can't get internet on my laptop using my phone to tether either with wireless or when hooked up with USB.
I'm getting a 503 error in google chrome.
Says no internet connection, but I do get internet as I would normally on my phone.
Was able to tether prior to ICS but not now.
Any suggestions?

I was gonna ask that same question right now. At least it is not only me. lol.
Thing is, I don't use T-Mo I use Simple Mobile. Uses T-Mo network but not T-Mo so I should be able to tether unlike the other thread who said its a T-Mo thethering issue.

I know what Simple Mobile is. It's an ICS issue if you are trying to use "Wireless Tether For Root Users" or any other tether app that is not native.

Has anyone done this or is it even possible? I've tried using the Wifi tether app, Foxfi and Open Garden but no luck at all. I have a Trendnet gaming adapter N wireless. The wifi device does not connect to my phone no matter what I try to do, it shows on the PC setup showing my phone but no luck. Only Open Garden was able to detect it but no data was pass to the adapter. Im rooted running the Adreneline CM9 rom. I have no trouble connecting other devices to my phone as a Wifi Hotspot. Reasons for the adapter, have some devices that have slow wifi cards (PS3 is my main reason) so this should speed things up gradually.
Any help would be appreciate it. Had no luck in Googling unless I did something wrong.

Its been my speculation, htc has wifi direct, for something that eludes me, it does not work as the wifi direct in most samsung devices, i really dont know the purpose of it, probably for some stupid wireless device of theres, but our wifi direct is defeltly missing alot of stuff, iv tried multiple time to transfer stuff, between my bros vivid, and my rezound, but it never works, we can connect to each other, but files never get sent.
A workaround is simply to use wifi tether on one phone with infrastructure mode.
Then, connect the other phone to the wifi tethered phone.
Fire up Samba Filesharing on either phone. Connect with ES File explorer on the other , and you're good to go.
