I have an issue when running ATT based ROMs like Aura and Alien.
When I activate the Hotspot on my Phone, the PC connects and gets an IP, but no Internet. While running ORFR based ROMs, everything works!
Any suggestions to fix my issue? Keeping in mind that when I flash ATT based ROMs, I flash ATT radio too.
Tried on Kholks Kernel and faux123 Kernel, the Phone is purchased from OrangeUK.
Hi
Did you ever find a resolution to this issue?
I'm currently experiencing this issue with Alien-4 and I'm pretty certain I was using it without any issues on stock 4.5.91 ROM.
I searched through some threads and thought it might have been an APN issue but I've tried the bundled APNs with the Alien-4 ROM as well as deleting them and adding new ones with the settings from ausdroid. I've tried it both on Telstra and Optus and cannot seem to work it out.
Assuming you are using a rom that allows it, try using this to help rule whether it's an APN or an app problem:

I have used this program to great success in the past.

Hi xfinrodx
That little app works although due to the stock kernel included with Alien-4 I stuck with a completely open connection. I figure it's the stock motorola mobile hotspot app that's the issue, did you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Would reloading the hotspot app fix this?
Thanks in advance
I'm pretty well sure I used encryption with this app and Alien... Just take another quick peek at the settings page in the app to be sure if you don't mind. :-/ It always gives the "access control" warning to me, but hasn't inhibited my encryption. Near as I can tell that relates more to ipconfig type stuff.
As for using the stock application... I would probably first go into CWM, "fix permissions," clear cache and dalvik then try again. If that fails, I would attempt to remove the stock tether app through titanium backup and reinstall from some .apk if I could find one. Failing these, I would reflash.
Hopefully you can work it out and post your method for others to find!

I'm currently inbetween jobs so I have a bit more time to look into it. What I think the issue for me is, is that the wireless hotspot assigns itself as the dns server to the device connecting to it. Now I just need to somehow specify a dns to assign or force the client to use a specific dns
Thanks

What OS are you trying to tether? Self-specifying dns addresses is commonly done and generally very easy. I personally recommend google's dns. 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 if memory serves me... Anyway, I think google has a write up for you on their dns page that is better than I could throw together in a reasonable amount of time!
Do try this as a troubleshooting step, but don't be too surprised when it doesn't help. I have a sneaking suspicion the problem lies elsewhere, though I know not exactly where. Hopefully this is it!

I'm trying to tether my Asus TF101 running 3.2.1 as well as a mate's ipad2. Neither worked. I've looked high and low on my TF101 and haven't been able to locate the DNS settings.
If you go to wifi settings-[menu button]-advanced there should be something in there... You might need to manually specify everything from there, but it's a shot. I'm away from my tablet at the moment or I'd look.

Has anyone successfully made a VPN connection with their rezound? I am trying to connect to a VPN connection known to be working and it says its connected, but I am unable to get internet traffic to go through. (I.e. when I am connected to the VPN, Any app that uses data is unable to find a connection to the internet.) I know it's not on the VPN server side because I am able to connect and get data with another phone.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!
BUMP. no one has tried or can try out VPN for me?
Bump. Not to sound whiney, and but I find it sad that my post can be up for so long without even a single reply. There is a ton of good info in these forums and I'm patiently waiting for s-off just like the average member, but the issue of the vpn hasn't even been looked into by anyone else? I guess my question to any mods would be "what do I have to do to get some attention to an issue I'm having? "

you are so active on the forums, I can't believe your question hasn't been answered yet...
sorry, don't have anything to hide, so don't use vpn.
Why would you need to use a VPN on a phone lol? If you're using free wireless tethering I really doubt that it'll mask it for you. Verizon would be like zomg in Russia wireless tethering steals you!

First of all, thank you both so much for the replies.
I'm not sure that I follow that last sentence, but but to answer the first question.... I want to use the vpn to encrypt my data. I don't use tethering that often, so I don't want to pay for the hotspot fee..... And I don't want to risk Verizon messing with or possibly closing my account or charging me a fee.... So I'd like to run my tethering data though my personal vpn.
I am able to use the stock VPN to connect to my networks. I have about 25 different VPN connections and my VPN connections are the L2TP/IPSEC PSK type. I can mount shares, as well as using remote control programs.
I would look at the logs of the device that you are trying to connect to, maybe that might give you some hints as to the issue. One thing I did find it that my device does not see the DNS server for some reason (even though it is specified), so therefore I have to use IP addresses to connect to anything.
This probably doesn't help you too much, but I did want to reply to let you know that I have the stock VPN working.
Good luck!

Wow! Thank you! It's so good to know that someone has a version of the stock vpn working. Mine are the PPTP type. I wonder if this phone has issues with that setup. Could you possibly test a PPTP connection?
Sorry, I'd love to be able to help you test but all of the device's that I connect to use only the L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN. Good luck solving your problem and have a happy holiday!
Well I just wanted to update this thread. It looks like PPTP VPN is broken in stock android and therefore it's not specific to the rezound. It looks like it can be fixed by developers (and from what I've read) it's pretty common for it to be fixed in non-stock roms. The lack of internet/browsing is caused by a bug in the MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) implementation. The following article explains it pretty well:
http://www.securitykiss.com/resources/articles/android_vpn_bug/index.php
This thread discusses some workarounds that were a bit over my head:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706
IPsec connections are not affected....and it looks like MPPE connections have been fixed in ICS. If any developers could take a look at the above thread and explain in more basic english how to "fix" the connections that would be greatly appreciated. If not, i guess i'll have to wait and hope ICS fixes it.

Very interesting! Thank you! Have you used the PPTP or L2TP version? Was this just to setup the vpn server and then you connect to it with the stock vpn client?

I'm having the same issues as you are. I know I'm replying a month late, but I didn't get my phone setup until almost Dec 30th and have been fighting my corp VPN ever since.
Once in a while I can get ping to work from Better Android Terminal, but that is always short lived and I can never get anything to work from other apps.
I'm glad you found the issue. I took a look at logcat and it is definitely a kernel issue. When the connection starts, I get the message "couldn't set tty to ppp discipline".
So I have searched and searched to no avail so I had to try and open a new thread.
My problem is when tethering my Evo 3d to my Playstation 3 (without a computer) I get a NAT Type 3 (strict). I can still play online with NAT 3 but with limitations, I can't join in party's with my friends and matchmaking takes some patience. I am looking for some help on how to get an Open NAT Type 2 (Type 2 means connected wirelessly with no problems).
It used to work just fine right after I rooted but then I flashed a new rom (Senseless from scrosler if I remember right) and then it would connect as Type 3.
From what I have read I think it could have something to do with the Kernel but I feel I have tried every combination I could think of. It could also be the version of wifi tether. It could also need some port forwarding... Is there any way to forward ports with any apps while using wifi tether?
Here is my phone specs
Evo 3D
Android version 2.3.3
Hboot 1.5
Rom- Omj's Evo 3D v1.1
Kernel - 2.6.35.10-gcb1cf83 (stock)
Wifi Tether version 3.1-beta8
I have routing fix checked and mss clamping checked.
I am hoping there are some Playstation users out there beside myself that can benefit from any help with this issue. Thank You

I have tried barnacle but I couldn't get it to work at all. The PS3 can't connect to ad-hoc and from what I know that's all barnacle can do. Maybe I am misinformed. I could try it again tonight.

Man, I had that issue too when I used to tether with my Evo 4G. I never could find an easy way around it. Just had to deal.
It was sad too. My connection was plenty fast.
As I remember, a buddy of mine had to do some hackery to his DSL router to even get that off strict, so I can only imagine it is pretty tough with a phone.
Can you USB tether to a laptop (or desktop), and bridge the connection with the ethernet port, and connect your PS3 to that?
That's what I used to do in Windows Mobile, before wireless tethering was a thing

I was wondering, Do you have a router that you can be flashed with ddwrt? I know you mentioned that you didn't have a computer but maybe go by a friends house for initial setup if your router is compatible?
It might be possible to set up a router as a wireless repeater. It would be
wireless phone signal to wireless router to ps3. This would only prove useful depending
on your current connection speed though. It might be something to look in to. If you do
have a way to set that up I could try to help as much as I could.
I currently use a wireless signal to a wireless router and
have it set up as a repeater.

I have computers at work that I can use to set things up so that wont be a problem. I just don't have one at home to use. I think I could definitely look into that because the logic sounds pretty solid from what I know. I wonder if what ever problem the phone is having would just get sent through to the repeater as well but who knows. I might have to PM you if I decide to go that route and I get stuck.

Moving to Q&A
Even though your speed for dl/ul is really fast, ping times, packet loss, etc are probably what is causing your nat 3 type. Like the other poster said with his evo 4g, there is nothing you can do and will have to live with it. You either have to get a dsl/cable line or be stuck like you are currently.
Okay i have that tether app its the wifi tether v3.1beta6 exact same setup except i have Routing fix uncheck and have MSS clamping check and wifi-driver reload check also check on under Domain-Namesever on preferred DNS its 8.8.8.8 and alternate its 8.8.4.4 an i also have an app called filterproxy installed running. Also when ur doing ur set up on the ps3 disable the UPnP works i have NAT type 2 running check the pic

I tried this method with no luck. Still Nat Type 3. I couldn't get it to work with the routing fixed unchecked either. Did you do the manual set up or the easy set up on the PS3. In your pictures wouldn't the Primary and Secondary DNS have to be the same as what is specified in the Wifi tether app? Something doesn't seem quite right but maybe I am just doing it wrong. Any more ideas would be helpful.

Download the latest version here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Then place it on your SDcard and install. Make sure your phone will allow unknown sources by going to settings > application settings > and check unknown sources.
After the app installs open it up. Hit the menu soft key and select settings. In the settings, set the "Device-Profile" to Samsung Galaxy S2 and then set the "Setup-Method" to Netd (master). This will somehow enable the built-in mobile hotspot, which will give you infrastructure mode, which pretty much all computers like.
I also have MSS clamping checked. I dont have the Routing Fix checked. You can change the SSID and security settings if you want. Now, exit out of the settings and start tethering by touching the symbol in the middle of the screen. Now get on to your computer and find the network. Everything should work from there.
Good luck.

I just tried with "open garden wi-fi tether" on Stock with Jokers Higpro kernel and it works just fine.
If I remember proper when I ran the stock kernel tethering would connect but not transfer data. Kinda sound like what your problem is.

By the way, I am also stock and rooted. Running 198_7 straight up with some bloat removed and wireless tether works fine for me.
I have searched extensively on Google, and XDA but can't find the right answer.
I want to tether my phone. I can do this directly in Android but my current carrier brings up a message in the browser saying it's not supported on my current plan.
I'm addressing this, but in the mean time I'm curious if there is a way round it, hypothetically.
I have seen some Apps, such as ClockWork Mod Tether, but since my phone is rooted I wondered if there is a more elegant solution that doesn't involve any software to be added to my PC.
I read about using TB to freeze a specific App/Process but couldn't find any details.
Any advice would be great,
thanks

HOW have you not heard of android wifi tether? One of the first reasons I had for rooting the first Android phone I got.
There's also Barnacle Tether, available on the play store.
Guess Barnacle is gone... but there are other tethering apps on the play store though.
And I'm wrong again. Barnacle is still there, but doesn't show up when I search from my phone. How curious.
Since your phone is rooted you can download wireless tether.
Google it and you will easily find the download link or even directly via the play store.

I appreciate the reply, but if you read my post again the issue I'm having is not an app to enable wifi tether directly on the handset, it's that the packet data is being detected as not from the phone so I get a message, on the computer, in the internet browser saying my priceplan doesn't include tethering. I cant get around this 3 website redirect. So, I need a way to tether, without the network knowing... The apps you mention work when the block is at the phone level I believe.... This is something different Three is doing..
Please correct me if I'm wrong though...
Oh, and as for the apps not showing up, the mobile phone providers asked google to block these apps for certain customers.. if you connect to a wifi network when in flight mode, and go the google market, you should still be able to see them...

Since your phone is rooted you can download wireless tether.
Google it and you will easily find the download link or even directly via the play store.

I WAS on wifi.
And did you ACTUALLY download the tether app and try, or were you using the tether built into the settings of Android? Because it sure doesn't sound like you downloaded the app...
And I don't have tethering on my carrier plan, but the tether app works just fine for me.

Initially when I first posted I was trying the built in app but I downloaded the app you suggested anyway, but it didn't work. would connect to the computer but no data connection. Unsure if its an app problem or still a three problem, but I don't see how this app would fix the three problem. Does it somehow mask the PC data connection??? I couldn't see anything in the settings or set up that suggest that it would, it just looks like a more feature rich wifi hotspot app?? In addition I found mention that that others with my issue have also tried these apps like barnacle and it didn;t resolve the problem....

I have searched extensively on Google, and XDA but can't find the right answer.
I want to tether my phone. I can do this directly in Android but my current carrier brings up a message in the browser saying it's not supported on my current plan.
I'm addressing this, but in the mean time I'm curious if there is a way round it, hypothetically.
I have seen some Apps, such as ClockWork Mod Tether, but since my phone is rooted I wondered if there is a more elegant solution that doesn't involve any software to be added to my PC.
I read about using TB to freeze a specific App/Process but couldn't find any details.
Any advice would be great,
thanks

They can suspend your service if they discover you are doing tethering on your device if you are not alowed in your current plan.
I Hope you wont have any issues.
Otherwise it is possible that the sim card lock the feature even on rooted phone when detect thetering or it is impossible ?

yes I suppose they could do, but like I say I'm resolving this with my contract. It's more that I'm curious how they are doing it, and on principle don't like being told what I can and can't do
It can't be a sim lock.
I just tried tethering a Macbook, and amazingly that worked!.. SO, It must be something to do with the Packet Headers I'm guessing.. Or they are doing some other more detailed packet sniffing... It means there is definitely a software route around it... Need a clever developer to read this thread
I guess clockworkMod Tether might work, but I want a solution without a PC install..

That doesn't make any sense. If it works with a mac book, it should work with your windows machine too. Unless your windows machine has some kind of proxy?

no proxy.. I'm as confused as you. The headers are different on a mac though, Unix based system... Need to know how 3 detect at a network level its not phone data... this difference with a mac must be a clue...
pda net 3.50. Had to install pc software.. Is a USB tether solution.. but it works, so will do, until I get my price plan sorted.... Still would like a more elegant wifi solution though.. Come on you clever devs, .... SCRATCH that :-(((( It worked for 5 mins, now it comes up with same message in the internet Browser.. damn it!!! three are too smart :-(

They are blocking the port 80.. they sent you to their walled garden page. I think its on your provider proxy side now

Is there a way around this. What do you mean by, on the provider proxy side?
Shortly after PDA net stopped working, I was also getting the three message on the browser directly on my phone.. after about an hour, my phone web browser started working normall again :-(

When you use thetering, you embark to the provider internet network.
for example my provider is Bell Canada and their proxy is web.wireless.bell.ca
this one is for the device internet
for the thetering one they use another configuration settings when i connect my device to the computer.
What happen is when you plug your device to the computer, a signal is sent to the provider stating you entered in thetering mode. You don't have access to thetering so your internet connection is limited to the walled garden of the provider stating you are not subscrided to the service. Thats why i think they blocked the port 80 on your device and redirect you to that page.
Now for the Macintosh story.. It is not impossible that you can connect without problem with a mac and safari. I know a lot of people emulating a handled device with the Mac and the safari browser and those peeps didnt had a thetering plan.
The differences came with the drivers installed. Mac OS one are quite different in term of functionality than windows, thats why maybe the provider is able to sniff more easily people using windows but i am not a senior programmer. I am currently taking courses to become one but for now it is only suppositions. If i am wrong feel free to correct me but I am quite sure about what i am saying and that's why you dont have issues with a mac

This sounds correct to me. I'm pretty annoyed though. Only had the contract a month, I was told I could move onto a more expensive plan within contract if I needed more allowance etc.. Phone up 3, not only do they not let you PAY MORE for a different plan, but they also don't let anyone shift onto the one plan ever, unless its a new contract.. So basically **** them... so even if I want to pay extra for tethering I can't... absolute nonsense...
I had the same issue with three. I downloaded masqued crusader from play store. Activated it and then started wireless/usb tether. It worked. That was a while back tho. On a payg sim card on a galaxy s on gb. Its worth a try though.
