First off, I have tried searching for this issue, but haven't had any luck, so I thought I would give this new thread a go.
I am trying to connect via my G1's (ok Rogers Dream to be more specific) wifi internet connection but having no luck. It was working once upon a time, I guess a few variables have changed, mainly my flashing between many different ROMs. Either case I have noticed this issue only recently, on a HERO Rom, and Cyan 4.0.1.
I am able to tether through my Phone Data Plan (3G), no issues. But for Wifi, as soon as I click "Start", my phone turns off my wifi and auto. turns on 3G.
Anyone have any ideas? My last resort is to due a full restore on my phone, I was hoping there is a more simple solution. Also, I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app.
Thanks

Did you restart the phone? This happens every now and then, and a restart will fix it.
Hey, I had to apk's fo rthis the signed_andtether_1_52-pre2.apk did not work. The file labeled Signed_andtetehr_1_52.apk works everytime.

Wait, wait, wait.
You have a Wireless Connection available, why are you tethering your G1? Can't your laptop just pick up the wireless connection? I am confused.

Exactly. lol. Well what the program does is disable your wifi so you can tether using your data connection. Thats the purpose of the program. So from the way you presented your information, you want to tether using your phones wifi connection to access the wifi router from your laptop?
Well, if your laptop (or other device) only has bluetooth, you can use Wireless Tethering for Root Users to share the phone's WIFI connection over the bluetooth connection. If that is what you are trying to accomplish.... not sure.

Haha, busted. Ok, well I don't necessarily need to go through my Wifi of my phone, because yes I have it on my laptop. I just know it used to work, now it doesn't.
Secondly, to the suggestion of rebooting my phone, well I would assume that installing a new ROM would constitute a reboot. Also reinstalling the apk would probably do the same, still though, nothing fixed it.
Sometimes my depending where I am in my house I put my phone halfway between my router and my laptop to strengthen my laptop signal, so, using it as an access point.
Whenever I've used the tether on my N1 it will always connect, but it only stay connect for sometimes 30 minutes and other times 3 minutes. Once the connection drops I have to restart the phone to start a new connection. This happens in random places and it does not matter if I have it tethered through USB or not. Any suggestions on whats going on?
Right now I am on MicroMods Gingerbread.
I suggest wiping everything (NANDROID FIRST OF COURSE), then reflashing!
This fixed my tethering woes.
since the 2.2 rom that enabled OS tethering I have had this problem. I have done many complete wipes. Just installed the gingerbread on my phone last night after a complete wipe.
Perhaps try flashing a new radio? im on 5.12, and have gotten great battery life on top of flawless tethering.
Other than that, unsure what to do. Maybe switch to cyanogen and hold off on Gingerbread?
may it be a problem of Wifi sleep policy? try set it "never"
I'm on Cyan 6.1 and just looked thru my wifi settings and I don't see anything for "sleep policy".
Where do you have that option at?
If you really need tethering--
I have used PDANet and Tether, formally Tetherberry
Tether works great--it does have a one time cost
I'm using my Galaxy S i9000 to tether internet to my desktop. It works fine until the screen turns off. After the screen turns off, the connection becomes laggy, skype etc disconnects constantly, speedtest shows ping of 300-500 to nearest server (10-20 by default). I hope someone could help me out here. What to do, what is the problem, how do I fix this?
This happens on Cyanogenmod, I've tried 7.1 stable, nightly and CM9 ICS builds, also on Onecosmics ICS. Wifi Sleep policy set to always on. Stock ROMs working fine.
Thanks
I never experience this bug on CM7.1. Are you using Juicedefender or that kind of app, maybe they can kill the data connection?
not using anything, all of them were clean and freshly installed ROMs.
Have you tried to set sceen timeout to "off"?
Does it work then?
I didn't experience that bug either tho..
I've tried to set timeout to 30min, and if I not turn it off manually, the connection is working fine for the 30 min, after the screen shuts down, it becomes laggy as hell.
Should I try setting it to off, and if yes, how do I do that?
Also, I'm not sure if it's a tethering issue and not a Wifi one. Can't think of a way to test it without tethering. Any ideas?
Have you tested any tethering apps from market? Like Barnacle Wifi tether.
Have you tested USB tether? There are apps for that on the market also if CM's own usb tethering doesn't work.
Just now I flashed CM7.1 stable just to try out different usb tethering apps. Nothing works, everything is the same. I've tried easytether, quick usb and PdaNet. PdaNet came with some windows drivers for the phone which were different from what I've had before. I've tried to install those, no change. I should probably test wifi tethering just to see if it works.
I tested to wifi tether my 3g connection, everything works fine screen lock on and off. Tried to usb tether my home wifi connection to another computer, had the same problem. Any more suggestions? Thanks in advance

I don't actually know what are you trying to do? You have wifi in your house?

Yes I have a Wifi at my house. Also I have an old desktop, which doesn't have wifi. I'm trying to share my internet connection through my phone by wifi to my desktop. I connect to home wifi with my phone and tether the connection to the desktop.

apparently it's a known issue...
So I've been trying really hard lately to get wifi tether working on my
SPRINT m7
With Android 4.4.3
Running Viper ROM
But I just can't seem to do it.
Native tether app is unblocked in Viper, but it seems as if Sprint got a lot smarter the beginning of last year because that's when my problems began. The native one starts up, tethers LTE just fine, but after ten minutes (almost exactly) it will disable my LTE completely (only full reboot restores it) and cut off the data throughput over the tether connection. I still have use of 3g on the phone.
If I continue to tether cycle (tether, disconnect, reboot, tether, etc) the ten minute window shrinks to 60-90 seconds. Eventually I will have LTE lockout ranging from minutes to hours (even after reboot. Lte radio disabled in diagnostic), and 3g disabled. Only allows me to run on 1x.
Neddless to say i need an alternative. I have tried every possible configuration of TrevE mod with no success. It just hangs at "starting tethering" and never does anything. But i did get an app called Wifi Tether Router on a suggestion.
This is most promising. I can get that one to start up. Even accurately displays the data coming inand out. Only problem is it won't actually enable the wifi. No broadcast at all.
Has anyone had success with this on sprint m7? I've seen lots of talk about it on tmobile and verizon networks with LGs and Samsungs and one or two references to verizon m8s but nothing about sprint or working with m7.
I have grandfathered unlimited data and pay monthly for the ability to tether, so I'm not doing anything out of line here nor am I interested in rooting or trying unofficial apps. I just want it to work as designed.
I bought my Nexus 6 from Motorola in November and ever since have had problems staying connected to my hotspot. It seems stable when I connect with my other Nexus devices, but I can't keep a computer connected for more than a few seconds before the network just disappears. It reappears a few seconds later, but never maintains a connection long enough to do a speed test, much less get any work done. Has anyone experienced this? Any troubleshooting suggestions?
I had the same issue. I reinstalled / updated my wireless modem driver in my laptop and problem solved.
Thanks. I've seen this problem on four different computers, but I'll see if updated drivers are available.
Try disabling IPv6 on your computer then tether.
