Droid DNA, running Hatka ROM and stock kernel, purchased new PNY MHL adapter and purchased new 15ft HDMI cable to the TV, tried rebooting didn't help, HDMI cable shows on DNA and the phone is charging. Other than it being the cables, which I doubt I'm curious about whether you have any explanations or solutions. Thanks!

I'll flash the ROM tomorrow and try it.
I'm gonna say its something in or not in the ROM.
When I was was running stock just rooted. I had no problems with it. Watch a full movie.
I haven't tried on my current either. So I'll try it on this one before I flash the other one

Yeah I would check if this works on stock and then compare. Also if you using hatka you have v to use lk kernel

I cannot get into the process of switching ROMs just to check MHL. It takes me hours to customize my phone after wiping everything. Is there anything you can think that would cause this in your ROM? I really like your ROM and battery usage and data connectivity, but do you think you could fix this?
Do you have a link to the kernel I have to use?
Thanks

i think it was problem with root, fixed in newest build
So I flashed the hatak 1.1.6 and the kernel . Works fine.
The cable I'm using doesn't have anything on it but MHL my cousin gave it to me. He got it while he was deployed.
I'd say either try another cable, or warrenty da DNA for a new one.

What adapter did you use? What do you mean that the cable doesn't have anything on it, other than the MHL? Is it a powered adapter? I don't believe that you can run MHL to HDMI without an adapter and most people say it needs to be powered (though in my experience the PNY adapter works without power). Thanks a lot for your help.
This cable plugs into my phone, then has the hdmi insert at the other end. On the side it has the option to plug a charger to it. I never have. It works just fine. I tried googling the cable. Nothing comes up. So I don't know who its made by.
I just looked at the pny adapter. It looks the same. Only mine doesn't have pny on it. Just mhl

Alright, the crappy cheap cable from Amazon.com "eForCity Premium 15 FT / 4.6 M High Speed HDMI Cable 1080p 1.3B Compatible with PS3 HDTV, Black" is to blame, the monoprice replacement plays just fine.

Just saw this a few minutes ago.. thought I would share it since I haven't seen anyone else post it yet.
Update: I just tested with my laptop and it is indeed working.
this is the first version that has worked for me at least. besides Barnacle.
Update 2: [BUG] It starts fine and functions for me. But when Disabled and then re-enabled the program says unknown state.
After rebooting it works again.. so if you turn it off you have to reboot to use it again. minor inconvenience , but better than no tethering at all.
Update 3: New version is out and available here
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre5.apk Good eye dabezt1
This fixes the unknown state issue. I had to reboot after installing to get normal operation from it.
I noticed on code.google.com that this version has been deprecated but it seems to be working fine on the vibrant.
Update 4 From Zephik
Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre8-TEST1 *** HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL ***
New version of Wireless Tether available: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Update 5
From the following link you will find all available versions. Check them periodically
for updated apk's
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...=Filename+Summary+Uploaded+Size+DownloadCount
Again, Thanks for the heads up Zephik
Mine seems to get stuck at the Start Tethering: Please wait while starting.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got errors initially (that should get fixed in later versions) but restarted it and I can see the WiFi broadcasting!
Love Android WiFi tether! I will be donating again shortly.
Worked for me on Edge to my iPad. I will test the 3G tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Edit: I had the unknown state thing too. A restarted fixed it up.
mine works tested with my friends Iphone 4, i was running on Edge, however when i stop it i still have the Tether Icon in the Icon bar..and it says that its still running any ideas? im going to power cycle and post the results
This works so much better than Barnacle for some reason, just going on speed alone.
Well I am sure the bugs will get worked out. But we have something viable for now.
Also not a fan of barnacle..

Worked great on edge. Faster than barnacle. I also got the error after closing it and had to restart to use again. Will try out with 3G later today, but seems awesome so far.
Works great so far. Pulled +3mbps on 3g on a speed test via a tethered ipad. It does result in the "unknown state" error on disconnect however... but all that matters is that it works!

I just downloaded/installed it straight to the phone. I trust it if it comes from a Google site. They are going to take over the world one day anyway so I guess it is ok if they get to my personal info a little earlier than they get to yours.

Works great. Seems faster than Barnacle.
The app does get messed up upon shutting down and says unknown state. Reboot seems to be the only way to fix it. I was able to get it to work once by ending the task and retrying. I was only able to do that once though. WiFi adapter gets stuck.
We're so close!!

I deleted the one I did while tethered with WiFi Tether, but here is one result directly from the phone in the same place.
My dad's getting his droid razr in a couple of weeks off of amazon. He really wants to be able to tether his phone to his laptop for internet and whatnot. So I saw that there was an app on the amazon appstore called Easytether, which lets you tether without getting nailed by the verizon tether fee. Can anyone confirm that a droid razr can use this app without additional charges? Thanks.
Have not tried easy tether but I have rooted and used wifi tether.
Yeah, I do the same thing on DINC 2. However, he doesn't want to risk rooting. Thats why I wanted to use easytether since you dont need root.
Could also try pdanet. I've used both Easytether and pdanet with an Incredable2. I rooted the phone and now use either androidtether or barnacle which are wireless tethering. Seems that the wireless tethering gives me faster connections on my phone.

x2 for the OP's question. Any success from those that haven't rooted? I need to know for my father-in-law's phone, and he definitely won't want me rooting it.
Although not a direct answer to the OP's question, I do know that you can use Bluetooth to tether your Razr to a laptop or iPad without rooting and without incurring extra Verizon charges. I have done so with my Razr.

You know what, there is a free version of Easytether that you can view non secure sites. It is there to make sure the app works on your phone. I gots my Razr and my laptop right here. And I am not rooted. Why don't I just download the thing and see if it works. I am curious as well. Hang on ....

Well, hot dog!! It works. I am now sending this from my laptop plugged into my Razr, using Easytether Lite. My WiFi is definitely turned off on my laptop and the Razr is on 3g network. Razr is not rooted. (I've never rooted my phones.)

I'll have to wait till I get home to try using it with the 4g network. I work in a hospital and it's like a concrete bunker down here so no 4g signal where I am right now.
[A] EasyTether Pro works on un-rooted Droid Razr
See for yourself. I just upgraded to EasyTether Pro. $10 is a great deal, especially since I'm grandfathered in with unlimited 4g data on my Razr. This is good since I was having problems getting a decent connection on WiFi in the cafeteria.
And yes there is a significant difference in speeds between 3g and 4g. According to speedtest.net I got about 2 Mbps download on 3g and 7 - 9 Mbps download on 4g. The only problem I can see is that the USB charge is insufficient to actually charge the phone while tethering it. It slows the battery drain but cannot counter it completely.
You dont get charged for usb tether. I use easytether all the time. You do get charged for wifi tether tho. You can use easytether with any phone not just the razr. There is also another app called pdanet. I havent tried that one tho.

mine works as good when accessing it directly with gogle apps. add 3rd party apps to the mix that need the gps locstion for search rather than locating me on the map and you start having intermittent issues.
fandango, alfred, beautiful widget weather, golauncher weather display. it is intermittent too.
never had such issue with htc devices such as mt4g, mt4g slide, amaze,....
i also believe is in samsung code because these apps are suppose to be able to pull off mobile and wireless networks and my cousin had similar gps irregularities on a few flavors of the original S and s2.

I'm using the stock app, but I'm on T-Mobile stock ROM.
WiFi tethering worked great on the Stock ROM from T-Mobile. I recently upgraded to ARHD 8.0 and have not tried it yet, but I imagine it should work the same. I have the 2.5GB high-speed data cap though -- I hear the Stock WiFi tether does not play nice if you have unlimited High Speed data.
After picking up an i717 for wifey from ebay I proceeded to root, and install CM10. Well I then flashed UCLF6 Modem but it proved more trouble-no connection, weak signals if any, rebooting. I tried a few more from this list but with the same issues.
UCLF5 Modem Download
UCLE2 Modem Download
UCLC5 Modem Download
UCLD3 Modem Download
I decided to re-flash the original back UCMD3 but save for reboots the phone works but with a weak connection. It's quite a pain to converse cos calls quality is just poor. Finally I just hooked it up to kies and it has stock 4.1.2 with UCMD3 modem. But the calls are steal weak. I have the same i717 phone with stock 4.0.4 with UCMB4 modem. It has the same weak signal. We are on a Tmobile MVNO solavei. I think Tmo signals near my house are kinda weak that's what I am left to think.
MY QUESTIONS:
-Do stock roms come with modem? I am just wondering if I have the correct modem on this phone since I had flashed a bunch them prior to STOCK restore.
-Is there anything I can do to improve the signals, quality of calls?
-I understand the UCLF6 modem is the latest and greatest. Is it recommended for for stock 4.1.2? I haven't tried it on the current setup, due to to time constraints. What do you guys have? Both phones are rooted.
-Which is the best modem for this unit?

Yes stock rom updates include a modem. If you forget what modem you flashed, look at the about device screen. You even posted a picture of it. "Baseband version" means modem version.
Some galaxy notes had usb troubles, so people had to replace the usb board. This reduced cell signal for some reason. Maybe yours has been replaced. I never found a way to make mine better again.
I'm pretty sure the ucmd3 was the latest modem for the i717. I remember some people flashing a tmobile rom that included a better modem. You might want to search for that rom.
I had actually had this problem also, its not the modem itself but the charge port/flex cable that you replaced I went through almost four or five before I found out that the cheaper the part the more issues you have I LITERALLY had little to no signal so I purchased another bit more expensive one and it fixed the problem

Do you mind providing more details about the ROM you are using, and what you have done to get to the point you are currently at?
Yea I was on clean ROM (whatever the latest release was) I was on that for a very long time I flashed it the day of release and switched maybe a month ago. Either way one day it just stopped working. Now I'm on the latest stock vzw I've changed radios and used the fastergps app. It will very rarely find my location but immediately lose it my GPS is just nonfunctional nothing happened to cause it either it just worked one day and not the next.

Sure its not a hardware issue?
I did the screw fix and connection tab fix for a friend and it's back to normal on hia phone.
I had this problem when my software updated to 4.4.2 and I going the only fix that worked for me was a factory reset. It is my understanding that this update was very hard on Samsung phones. My GPS works fine now. But the price is it took me about 3 days to get my phone back to the way I had it.
Not sure if it would be the case for others but this has been discussed a lot in the slim thread. There is an edit to the GPS config that helps some people.

1. Use a root file manager to edit /etc/gps.conf (mount as R/W)
2. Scroll to the bottom of the file and change
LPP_PROFILE = 0. This worked
to
LPP_PROFILE = 1
3. Reboot
Again I just know this helped in Slim not sure if it applies across the board.
I was exactly like you. I used CleanROM for a long time. It was exactly what I needed. But I was getting outdated so I started flashing different KK roms.
I recommend SlimKat 4.4. If you search the long thread, there is the gps editing that is suggested above. or you can try this one, a slightly more elaborate version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50448248&postcount=1185
But the thing that helped me the most was actually full wipe of internal storage in addition to system wipe, cache, etc. I freed up about 6GB and my GPS started working better.
