Hi guys,
Apologies if there is an answer to this anywhere else on XDA but I had a decent look and was unable to find one.
I recently installed the MIUI mod as per the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079150
The mod looks great and I did not encounter any problems with the install however I now cannot connect to wifi. After entering in the passkey under wifi settings it simply goes through the cycle over and over of:
Connecting.... Obtaining IP address.... Disconnected.... Connecting.... etc.
Anybody know of a solution?
Thanks
I also had similar issues.. It will connect but frequently drop and while connected, the speed is ridiculously slow.. I wish i could find a solution.. 3g speeds are great and its not the wifi network causing the problem..

this happens to me with my router netgear (is a router issue). i need to reboot router in order to reconnect my defy to wifi. If you doesn't solve try to install latest miui.us 1.8.5, is newest and stable
Just installed 1.8.5 and still no dice. I am also going through a Netgear router so that may be the issue however reboot did not fix the problem for me.
Update:
Currently logged on to wifi at work with no problems at all so it must have something to do with the router. Is there anyway I can counter this by forwarding the IP address through a port or something?
Interestingly, I am also having the same problem with my bluetooth. My car stereo has bluetooth for hands free and I can instantly pair with this device but cannot connect to it. It again just gets stuck in a "Connecting...." loop but is never able to finish connecting.
Am I missing something simple or should I just give up on MIUI for the moment in favour of something else such as CM7...
I just updated my Desire and same issue.. any solurions?
Give CM7 A try... wait for a while... there will be an RC update with 2.3.5

i flash miui on my moto defy
you have tried the 2.3.5a stable? has no problem
It might have something to do with the base Android system you had before. I've read that flashing the Nordic sbf, then rooting it, full wipe (factory reset, cache, dalvik) and then install might fix your issues.

I had the same problem with CM7 RC1 (RC0 worked), with Barebones Froyo and now with MS2Ginger... It connects to the router...but the internet speed is really slow... I changed the router to G mode and nothing.
With MIUI 1.8.5 my wifi worked ok...
Hello XDA Developers,
I have an HTC thunderbolt, I'm running Cm7.1, the newest release that came out yesterday. My issue is that wifi or USB tethering do not work. Whether I connect usb tethering and enable the feature from the phone, or enable wifi tethering and connect through my laptop, the network connects, but then says no internet access and/or limited or no connectivity. My laptop connects to wifi internet fine.
I've had this problem for every iteration of CM7 for thunderbolt since June. Before moving to CM7, i remember trying tethering once or twice and it did not work. I've just decided now to try and get tethering working.
I've tried using the wi-fi tether app from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list as well as barnacle wifi tether, both have the same problem.
My main questions would be:
1. Is there any reason I have overlooked as to why tethering does not work on my phone? Is there some new verizon block to tethering for root users? Are there any settings I could try to get this working?
2. Are there any known issues with CM7 and thunderbolt tethering?
3. It seems weird if it was a hardware issue since my laptop does actually connect to the phone, it just has no network connectivity.
Thanks!
I had a similar issue and fixed it by downloading the open garden wifi tethering app https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether and changing the network to open on that app as well as the built in cm7 app. Then enable both apps and it should connect. Did for me.

Newest release came out about 20 minutes prior to your post CM7.1.1...check the rootz thread.
I've seen reports of this before. If memory recalls correctly, the devices weren't acquiring an IP correctly. Once you have it tethered, on the laptop/device try releasing and renewing your IP or disabling/enabling the adapter.
You are not the only person having this problem. I'm having this problem too and have not found a fix for it yet. I've found a pattern though, any ROM that I've loaded that was a build or based off of CM7, had the tethering problem. And as stated above, the problem about not acquiring and ip correctly is exactly what's happening.
Hopefully a dev or someone else can come along help resolve this problem. Apparently this problem is not very widespread as it seems that very few peeple have this problem.
Thank you everyone for your help.
keith.mcintyre26, I tried your suggestion of open garden wifi app, and it worked perfectly, just installed it and it worked. CM7 wifi tether still does not work though.

I tried the app as well and It didn't work I am in a tricky area when it comes to data coverage though so I can't help but think that might be it? Unrelated: Sometimes I lose data coverage altogether (drops out, comes back, drops out, etc) when I'm in 4G coverage areas. Maybe the two are related,

I know this is not the problem where I live as I'm in full signal.
I just got onto this ROM, after being on BAMF Forever, forever, and LOVE IT. My only complaint and possibly a show-stopper -- Wi-Fi Tether doesn't work, and neither does the built-in tether app.
I've done a complete wipe. The client connects, but doesn't DHCP.
Any ideas?

Quick update -- Open Garden works...
Strange... But I guess I'm all set
I had/have the same problem with cm7 and bamf1.86. I finally got cm7 tether last night using barnacle, but it was at .3 mbs. I have yet to top 1mbs. That was with 4g(or so it said.) I have tried the included wifi tether, usb tether, barnacle, and open garden. Nothing works properly on either rom. Signal was between -80 and at worst -90.

Seems to be a common issue across newer roms lately for wifi tether.
I got mine fixed by downloading the newest experimental build.
Once installed go into settings, Check Disable wake lock, check wifi driver reload, also check routing fix. Furthermore, make sure you select the proper device, should be the first option once you open settings.
Ok so a bought a thunderbolt back in Nov but returned it cause I kept having issues with the hot spot and got the rezound which turned out to be even worse so now I am back to another thunderbolt after having tried a bionic as well. I have tried several different roms trying to get one that works well for hot spot and so far the only one that was somewhat stable(CyanogenMod 7.1.1) quit working after I put it in airplane mode and i wound up having to start over to fix the issues. So now I am running 2.11.605.5 after having downgraded from 2.11.605.9 so I have the radio and lte upgrade from the latest ota. I have looked around on the forum thread about the different roms but i havent really found any postings about how the hot spot has been working I have found a couple of roms that just flat out say that the hotspot isnt working at all and have avoided them but for the most part I havent found any that say if its stable or not. So the short of it is that I want to find a rom that is stable for hot spot use. Gotta give the bionic credit for the hot spot use. That thing was great but it has the worst screen I have seen so far on an android phone. Any help would be awesome in finding a rom that is good for this
Well is it the built in hot-spot that isn't working? If so just download Wireless Tether or Open Garden and go on tethering.
If you really do want a ROM, I'm using LiquidSmooth AOSP w/ Wireless Tether app that works great.
I've used Skyraider, BAMF 1.10 with Open Garden without any issues either.

I tried skyraider this time and i was using the stock app and wireless tether but I had not tried open garden but the stock and wireless tether were not working it was constantly dropping in and out it would stay connected according to my windows icon on my computer but i would have no access and i would get dced from games and my torrents would drop off completely. it would take a min or so for it come back on. had that problem with a couple of roms and some would just not work at all like bamf soab which i found out today has known issues with the hotspot. I will try open garden on skyraider i liked his roms when i had my dinc. thank you for the input. any other inputs would be greatly appreciated like maybe what i might do to stabilize this problem.
I use wifi tether 3.0 beta on all roms and have no issues at all, but i set profile to tbolt, wifi router fix, and all is good.

i have tried your recommendation and it has worked brilliantly on virus' eternity rom. So thank you for your ideas and support. I am a happy tbolt user now.
Thanks for the useful thread! I've been using the mobile hotspot recently, on stock 2.11.605.9 and it is just awful. It stops and starts, youtube HD just buffers all the time - it's basically unusable for anything except web browsing or email.
i am paying Verizon for the (dubious) pleasure of this barely-working feature.
So, I rooted, revolutionary-ed and installed WirelessTether. I did the configurations suggested here. Unfortunately, it's just as spotty as the stock mobile hotspot app. I notice no difference in performance.
Do I need to install one of the custom ROMs to see any benefit? Although I'm rooted and S-OFF, I'm still on the stock ROM.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions! :-D
PS: BTW, my LTE coverage is pretty good, and speeds on the phone itself are quite consistent and stable.
It's not a ROM issue. It's a Verizon issue. Every phone does it. I cancelled tethering because of this. Verizon doesn't seem to care that people want to tether for more than 5 mins without rebooting.

This is more of a router issues than phone issue. Try your routers website forum or google it.
From what I have read, I dont think you can open the nat when tethering from the phone

I think the issue is tethering via 4G, not from a router.
I'm frustrated as hell about not being able to tether 4G for no longer than 5 minutes at a time, after which I have to reboot my T-Bolt and my tablet.

Im not sure how people have problems with this. I use wifi router 3.1 beta and can tether 4g for hours. All i use are the standard fix settings and there is zero issues. I play games with my laptop online when i work out of town.

I'm not finding "wifi router 3.1" or "wifi router 3.1 beta" in the Market anywhere. Is this an app? Just to clarify... this app will tether 4G LTE wirelessly to your device of choice for hours, correct? Thanks!
Edit: Found a link to what you're referring to in a different thread. Installed the APK, checked the box for the Wifi Fix, selected Thunderbolt, enabled access, and voila! Going on a solid hour of 4G tether with no disconnects! This seems to indeed fix whatever problem Verizon is having with the 5-minute disconnect.
For those who need it and may have missed it, here's the link for the fix:

Thats the one! Glad you found it. This topic should be stickied. Possibly the most asked questions on forums.

The tether apps are filtered from the market when accessed via Verizon, I believe.
I have used tethering quite a bit for Netflix, etc., on CM7 with the older android wifi tether. I switched from CM back to Sense just to try something different for a while and have used the stock tether app since then. I don't recall having a tether-related reboot. I'll probably switch to the new wifi tether, love the mac filtering in there.
I will say, though, that I always have to start wifi tether twice to get it to work (enable - disable - enable.) Then it's solid.
Edit: oh, and stuck.
Question: why is it that when I turn off my tablet, wifi won't reconnect without turning my phone screen on? Very strange. My tablet reconnects immediately to my home router, but it will only reconnect immediately to my phone as long as the phone screen is on. I've tried everything and can't solve it. Otherwise, 4G Hotspot works awesomely.

rom with great hotspot
while the wifi tether app with correct settings has given me success on most roms i've tried it on, i like the built-in and hacked wifi-hotspot on thunderstick full blown a lot. overall, full blown is a great rom, and the included hot spot works perfectly for me and keeps my number of installed apps lower, which i like as well. my .02 anyway.
I actually just installed MIUI Rom that came out a few days ago and that's been working fine. My problem with most things is that I either get good 4G or GPS, but not both. :/
For some reason though, any stock tether/wireless hotspot apps never work. The miui rom uses Cyanogen Mod.

kindly help me
its working on mobile data but not on wifi plz help
Have you tried different wi-fi networks?
This sounds like your wifi network -or at least it's internet connection- is restrictively filtered through a firewall.
Are you by any chance in a corporate, university or otherwise managed/shared network?
no i am using my house wifi
everything works fine like facebook ap gmail browsing etc all
but drop box and s voice only working on mobile data
no there is no filter
i have tried it on other wifi as well
same here.Doesnt work on wifi.

I had the opposite problem. Non http apps would only work on wifi and not hspa. I just changed my apn settings and it fixed it. So I can only imagine it's a network issue, not letting certain ports through maybe.

Hello,
I have a SG3 (i9300) and I have an issue with CM10 (and 10.1) :
Bluetooth Tethering and USB tethering doesn't work (wifi tethering not tested yet).
If I test with Omega or Stock Samsung Rom : no problem, 100% working.
I've test with CM 10 noobproof edition (flashable with "Odin cm-10-20120920-ODIN-i9300.tar") : tethering work but the wifi does not work anymore... :silly:
(This is the only CM10 rom I tested for which Tethering works)
I also tested with Paranoid, temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM10.1 BUILD (and 10), official (nightly) build, ...
I tested by putting back the phone "stock", unrooted before flash CM10 : no way...
I can connect my computer to my i9300 : ping OK, but no internet connexion.
Help ?
Sorry about my English, I'm French
Hmm, no replies yet. We can't be the only 2 people who are having issues with tethering on cm10.
For me I could not tether on my Nexus S 4G stock, stock but rooted, nor on 2 different night lies. Stock, I downloaded an app, it broadcasted the ssid and I connected to it, but no routing.
On cm10 the tether app wouldn't broadcast the said, and there were errors every time it tried to run.
Now I installed WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod. Nothing really works, but if I launch with Fallback Tether Mode I see that as the said. However, it is short lived because I think part of it crashes and the ssid disappears. I did connect to it once, bit no routing again.
Seems the best I can do is connect with no routing, and I'm beginning to wonder if Sprint found a way to block this function if we haven't paid for it. I couldn't get it to work on my photon 4g either.
Is anybody able to tether for free on Sprint? I used to do it on my Evo 4g all the time. Wish I had one to test with.
