wifi tethering problems - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok im having some troubles with wifi tethering. i have tried barnacle and i cant even get my laptops to detect the network im broadcasting with my phone. when i use wireless tether for root i can get a connection but its not a good connection at all. i cant even get google to load. im using damage control 2.09.01 on a sprint hero... thanks in advance for any help... also i need this working hopefully before Saturday as i go on vacation and my hero was going to be the internet for my laptop

Probably belongs in the Q&A section, no?

Yes, should go in q&a, but, barnacle is a no go for heros, and make sure you use wireless tether 1.6 (do not get from market, get from google code website)

Danaff why not 2.02? I recently upgraded to this. To the one who started the thread do u have USB debugging enabled ?

I haven't tried 2.02, although I believe it was made for evo specifically, but may work fine. Before, though, only 1.6 worked for heros

It was only happening to me on the OC Roms. I tried without the OC Rom and it works as it should.

What ROM are you using. I think it only locks on the .29 kernel, more so for the DC based ROMs.

I'm having problems with my wifi-tethering can anyone help me? I went ahead and installed wifi tether 2.0.2 on top of the stock 1.6 that came and since this thing has gone crap. I have found 1.06 but even after installing it, it won't work. Any suggestions? Rom I have is PureHero 2.1 Maps/Overclocked.

Using purehero 2.1 I always get unable to start tether with every version of wifi tether except 1.6. However with 1.6 it overheats the phone, even when underclocking, and when I try to shut it off it freezes the phone and reboots. If I try to end tether in autokiller the icon goes away but the phone is still tethering. Ended up tethering all night one night and my son was on watching anime on his ipod touch. When I got up in the morning and grabbed my phone I thought it was on fire.
So which ROMs does 2.0.2 or 2.0.5 work on? I really need to fix the overheating issue as I live in Arizona and at this time of the year it is difficult to keep things from over heating on their own lol.
Thanks

Any Rom that isn't OC'd for sure. and I think any Rom that isn't the DC .29 kernel. Havent been able to actually confirm that though just my theory.
Edit: actually my statement was for 1.6. 2. 0. 2 is still in experimental stage for the hero

The option to uninstall wasn't there for pure hero 2.0.9 or whatever I have. Anyway, I just deleted the APK, then installed 2.0.2 and it still didn't work. However I was then able to properly uninstall 2.0.2 so when I installed 2.0.5 it worked. Works good now, only thing I have noticed is that I changed the SSID but it doesn't actually change.

Thanx for the help but I just went back to rom that's not oc

Working Wireless Tether for Android Tablets

Found this version of wireless tether for my fascinate that my Kyros MID7015 can connect to.

Because the name is rediculous.
EDIT: I just got this to work and it seems great! To get it to work you need to press menu while in the app and go to settings. At the top of setting press change device-profile and choose Samsung Fascinate from the list and you are good to go (atleast it was for me).

thats cause they use ad hoc tethering which stock android doesnt support. You need infrastructure tethering which this apparently does....although I forgot to test it last night.

Exactly, i've tried some tweaks and apps which did not work until i stumbled
on this version. Google search, best thing ever.
FYI - This works for wifi on the Kindle whereas the old tether didn't. Make sure you go to settings and select the "device profile" to Samsung Fascinate.

Works great.....good find.
Thanks for the tip! This works great! Been using the vzw hotspot hack but i would keep having data issues while using it. This is working flawless! Even played 2 hrs of Black ops on my ps3 with zero issues using this. I immediately uninstalled my old wireless tether v2.07 cuz although infrastructure was supposedly supported with it, I could never get it to work. Anyway, thanks a bunch for the find and sharing this with us.
Sweet, thank you OP! I was trying to get wireless tether to work for 3 days now.
Great find, man. This works so much better for me than barnacle. Thanks for sharing.
Won't launch the Hotspot for me. Keeps giving me "Started with errors" and then in the log say it can't load the firmware

There is a guide that a user just made in the general section. Comment on that and see if we can work it out.
Make sure
1. You are rooted
2. You have BusyBox
3. You have Super User installed.
4. Not using SetCPU or Overclock widget.
After that Install the Pre9 Wifitether APK (attached).
If that doesn't work then flash the new Radio Image for the Hero (also attached as 2.42.02.10.29.zip)
And then flash Kifno's tweaks for Preformance and Network speeds (will double to triple DL and UL). [MP] This tweak is incompatible with SetCPU
disclaimer: I am not liable for anything, and I did not create any of these. Although I have not heard of anything going wrong (when followed correctly). If anything does happen let me know and il do my best to help you.
Omg!!! Does this work for the cdma hero cause if I can use it for black ops I will b forever grateful im on cm7

I think the PS3 patched Ad-Hoc networking, WifiTethering on the Hero Relies on Ad-Hoc, The Hero doesn't support regular netowrking so i guess we're screwed. If you have a computer in your house you can use USB tether and create a network from your computer via Ethernet, and theneither plug that to the PS3 or to a router to create a "real" network.

gps has worked well for me. not the best I have ever had but not bad. Try different modem/kerne
I use the evo 4g with sprint. Im running miui 1.4.29 and everything is working fine. The gps is flakey, i use the telenav and it seems to stall. App loads i enter the address and it keeps searching for gps, then it fails and i hit retry and then it loads the route, but it doesnt move like as if it lost signal. Anyone can help?
gps works awesome for me. you need to just find the right modem kernel combo and i think you'd be surprised.
I'm having GPS issues since rooting and ROM-ing RD-MIUI-2.4.13_ICS-EN-DESIRE HD.
Using Google Navigation, I get a GPS lock on straight away but after about 5 minutes, it just keeps searching for GPS. Is there a way of installing the stock GPS Radio only?

tethering doesn't work while on a custom rom?

i realize i've posted a few q's lately but already figured out the a's to all of those before you guys even replied(is it really that slow here?)
heh.. anyway, i figure i'll try another & see if things turn out differently this time.
so far, i've rooted, updated to latest .901 radio & tried out both the liberty & eclispe (901 friendly) roms. on both i was not able to pdanet to work(or the clockworkmod tether)... which was unusual, as before i switched to a custom rom pdanet worked just fine.
anyway, i'm currently reverting back to the stock rom & going to try again that way and see if something got fux0red.
but curious though, does pdanet actually work on these custom roms?
[EDIT]: well not sure what was going on with the roms, but reverting back to the stock rom(w/ 901 radio) has pdanet working again.
I'm rom'd with Eclipse 2.0 on the .893 radio and its working fine for me. Are you trying to Bluetooth tether or wifi?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
neither. usb
What app are you using?
Pdanet or easytether?
Have you tried an app called wifi tether for root users or something like that
I'll post link later
Here's the link to new updates
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
I've been using this on stock rooted 886-901, eclipse 2.0 & 2.1 rc beta, kintex 1.0 & 901 patch
All works great
I'm still using the pre113 and it still working great
Give it a try
For those asking what tethering app he is using, you really should take the time to read his post as it states what tethering app he is using. He says he's using PDANET. No reason to ask a question that he already answered in the original post.
I highly recommend using Easy Tether. I paid my $10 for their app and Verizon better not dare block me from using it. Their tethering fees are crazy for how much I use it and I bought easy tether before Verizon even brought tethering out.
Now if someone could make an FM modulator app that would allow us to.stream audio to our car stereos (not all of us have Bluetooth in our cars)

Best wifi tethering app for un-rooted Thunderbolt?

Hello,
My TB is not rooted. What do you think is the best app for doing wireless tethering? Setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot, I guess.... I'm using a windows 7 PC.
Just do a search for "tether" in the Google Play Store.. I'm rooted.. but the free "clockworkmod (no root)".. looked like it might do the trick, it uses Usb instead of WiFi.
I found the stock app from Verizon to work well before they axed the ability to use it without paying for the service. It was very easy to set up the SSID and password and even monitor the connected devices IIRC.

Thanks for the replies!
justjayhere-
I tried out clockworkmod's Tether. It works pretty well, although it does disconnect every once in a while, and it's USB, so my bandwidth is limited by that. Also, it's not as convenient as WiFi.
ArmyAg08-
Yes, this is kind of the type of thing I'm looking for. Not Verizon though.
jonah1234-
I'm not quite ready to root this phone yet. But when I do, what would you recommend for a WiFi tether?
Have you tried 1-Click Wifi Tether No Root?
If you go to the play store and search no root tether, it should be the second option down.
I know several people who use this and are satisfied with it.
If you do root your phone in the future, I recommend either WiFi Tether for Root Users or Barnacle WiFi Tether.

I usually use the default one on the custom ROM or wireless tether which both work very nicely and run smoothly.

1-Click Wifi Tether No Root apparently does not work on HTC phones. If anyone knows a workaround to this, please let me know, as 1-Click Wifi Tether No Root seems to be a great app.
And thanks for the info about the rooted apps -- I may try them in the future
I forgot about that. Lol. They don't have HTC phones.
Anyways, just search no root tether in play store and try what's available.
Good luck.

Unfortunately, there seems to be NO way to utilize the WiFi Hotspot Tether on HTC Thunderbolt anymore, rooted or not.
All of the existing WIFI tether apps do not do anything on HTC Thunderbolt. I've tried them all, on multiple ROMs.
The ONLY things I've found that still work are the PRO versions of EasyTether and PdaNet, via USB cord.
I'm still trying to get the bluetooth tether for PdaNet to work, but so far without much success.
I can't wait until next year to get a new phone that I can actually root and wifi-hotspot again.
According to the Foxfi app it's an HTC block not TB specific. That being said I blue tooth tether with no issues at all both CM7 and with Sense roms. I don't even use a special app with CM7 just make devices discoverable and pair, BAM! some native Bluetooth tether automatically kicks in on CM7 and with Sense I use the Foxfi app and follow the blutooth tether instructions. Make sure your devices have tun.ko installed (use tun.ko installer app in the play store). My tablet didn't (asus transformer tf101) so I had to and root is required to do it.

Hi there guys,
Which ROMS are you running on your TBolts? I am running Synergy, and like I say it was working up until a couple of weeks back, and now no go. Perhaps I need to switch ROMS or something. I find it strange that several of us are having issue. At any rate, it is very interesting indeed.
Thanks in advance,
