Hi everyone,
As the title says, I'm on N3bula Rom, and just recently, every time I reboot my phone (whether full or fast boot) the portable Wi-Fi hotspot automatically starts. Also, since this strange occurrence started, I have had no WiFi (I can't enable WiFi anymore and everytime I try to enable WiFi the WiFi hotspot starts instead). Just FYI, I'm not using any 3rd party tasker or automator.
Any suggestions on what my issue could be? Responses will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I've got a Xoom wifi and I use the Fascinate as a tether for 3g when I'm on the go. I've got stock Froyo ED01, rooted.
I use the yellow icon Wireless Tether app (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) which has infrastructure mode, with the following settings:
1. Device Profile - Samsung Fascinate
2. Auto setup method
3. Wifi encryption enabled
4. Passphrase present
5. SSID "1"
6. Hide SSID checked
7. Channel "auto"
8. Wifi driver reload checked
9. Enable access control checked
Rest of the settings are the default
The problem I face is I turn on wifi tether, the Xoom connects (I get a notification that the Xoom (mac address id) connected and can use the internet with out any problems. Then some time around 1 hour - 3 hours, I get another notification that the Xoom is connecting again (phone vibrates). After this second connection, my phone works for like 10 seconds then just restarts. It shuts off and immediately I can see the samsung logo. After the phone restarts I can use wifi tether app again, but it happens again after a while of using it (1-3 hours).
On a related topic, I noticed that if I stop the wifi tether manually, I cannot use the wifi tether app again until I restart the phone. If I do try to run the program again without restarting I just get stuck on the "start tethering" notification forever. The yellow tether icon is there in the notification bar, but it isn't functioning at all. I have to restart the phone to get it to work.
It's kind of annoying, but more importantly, is this an issue a lot of people face and is it causing any damage to the phone?
Try using 2.0.5

Just try not to use your phone while tethering, I too have experienced this and it's always when I'm using the phone and wifi tether gets killed. then everything freezes and the phone reboots.

ive had this problem as well tethering on my vibrant
After using the wifi tether app once, I need to turn on wifi, wait about 10 seconds and make sure it can see the networks, then shut off wifi, then I can reconnect to wifi tether.
I Installed CM7 on my touchpad earlier today and have read about some issues with protected networks. My touchpad wireless worked great earlier in CM7, but all of a sudden it turned off and I cant get it to scan for wireless networks. When i select scan, the radio will turn off. My wifi in webos is still functioning fine. Is anyone else experiencing this issue with cm7 or found a solution? Thanks.
Edit: I have also started receiving an error message at the WiFi settings screen. It says "Application Settings (in process com.android.settings) is not responding." It then asks to Force Close or Wait.

Known issue. Lettting your device sleep or rebooting causes this.
Enable WiFi.
Forget Network.
Disable WiFi.
Add your network again.
Got to advance settings and Set WiFi Sleep Policy to 'Never.'
You should be able to connect.
If this does not work, do a bit of search for more solutions.
Good Luck.

Ill keep searching. It doesn't show any previous networks that ive connected to, the list is blank. I've also tried to manually add networks to no avail. Thanks for the quick answer.
I enabled the Bluetooth. Then disabled itand my wireless started working
I was having this same issue last night after I installed a few apps, I uninstalled the apps and its been working fine ever since.

After my tablet has been asleep for a while I'm having major problems with Wi-Fi. It appears that I am connected but no data is being transmitted.
Sometimes, if another wifi network is available I can switch to this new network and back to my preferred and then the Wi-Fi works OK again (for a while.)
Other times when there is no other network available or I am unable to connect to the other network I turn of Wi-Fi or switch to Airplane mode momentarily and then try to re-enable my Wi-Fi - then my Wi-Fi on/off button refuses to switch back to On and keeps switching itself back to Off.
The only solution at this point is to reboot the tablet.
I have tried "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep - Always" and "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep - Never"
I have tried "Disable powersave" in advance Wi-Fi options.
This is extremely frustrating as Archos upgraded me from a 101G9 because I had four devices each with different faults and now this!
Otherwise I'm happy with the tablet overall, it's far more responsive than the 101G9 and the coverboard is useful.
Does anyone have any idea why this could happen? Anyone else with similar problems? Anyone know a solution?
Try going into settings and selecting wifi never sleep. Worked on my 80g9.

Re: 101XS losing Wi-Fi after sleeping
Tried that Steve, make no difference unfortunately.

I fixed it by electing to turn Wi-Fi off when the tablet sleeps, which is annoying as I no longer get email alerts etc.
Hope for a fix in a later firmware...

Hi all,
I have a problem while connecting to WiFi hotspot feature. I have Feravolt v3 JB rom, Ferakernel.
I am able to activate the Wifi hotspot feature in the phone and its broadcasting fine until I try to connect from my laptop's wireless adapter. The SSID is detected in the wireless networks and when i try to connect, it acquires the ip address and as soon as I get the message 'wireless connected', the phone LED color changes and the phone reboots. I tried both pdanet+ and also the hotspot feature in the rom. both times the phone restarts. I did factory reset and tested hotspot feature before installing any other apps. still the same result. I also tried keeping the phone charged while connecting to hotspot. No luck. I am able to do usb tethering, reverse tethering without any problem. I did not overclock. Just using default settings that came with the rom. disabled sleep policy, kept the screen always on......
My only guess is that might be battery problem and if so any idea how to overcome this problem without buying a new battery.
Anyone had similar problem before or its a first?
Appreciate if someone can guide me if I need to enable or disable any feature.

Hi,
I've searched a lot over the past couple of months but haven't find an answer to my problem.
When I connect to public open wifi networks that have a landing page, phone would automatically disconnect and display a notification saying "Sign-in is required. Network disconnected". This only happens if I turn the wifi on and let it scan and connect automatically. If I manually connect to any such network it'll automatically bring up the landing page instead.
I have disabled network quality check in the settings, but that doesn't solve this problem. I also installed the new firmware with a full wipe and cleared wifi hotspots a couple of times (TB).
Anyone else has had this issue and knows how to solve it?
Thanks a lot!
