I flashed my nookColor over to the 0.6.8 and everything has been working alright, the only problem is that tethering doesn't work proberly. Any suggestions/tips to get it working better? It appears to be cutting in and out.

Edit: Now that I am on my computer I can go into a bit more detail. Sorry was at the doctors office.
Anyways, what happens is I turn on tethering with my Moto Droid and then on my nook I click on settings>wireless and choose my SSID. It says "Obtaining IP" then after about 2 minutes it says "Testing Connection..." then after a few seconds it says "Connected to the internet.
The problem is, when I try to play some games that require the internet, it will say "Establishing connection to server..." then times out. However, when I try to get on the internet using the browser everything works fine.
When I play the SAME game on the nooted stock 1.0.1 the game successfully connects to the game server over the tethered network.
Any reason it could be doing this?
The game I am trying to play is "Pocket Legends"
Thanks in advance,

I finally got the proxy settings for work working properly. I can now browse the Web at work.
Mind sharing this solution? I'd love to use the nook at work, but need to specify a gateway and dns server.

This took me days to find. But it's worth it.

enjoy..
I could not get this to work for me. I got Firefox installed and made sure it would browse at home. At work, I fire it up, plug in the network.proxy.http and network.proxy.http.port, then change network.proxy.type to 1. No joy. Note, I'm using the exact same settings as are in my iPod Touch 3G for the same network which works flawlessly (shameless NC/Android dig, sorry). Any tips?

Ditto, I can't seem to find a clean solution.
So far my best bet is to use connectbot to tunnel all my conections through to my server. I'm not sure how to go about that but we'll see what happens.
I'm about to put Nookie Froyo on this b/c I really want Internet at school.
Would this setting perhaps allow me to use my nook color on a linksys wireless bridge? When the bridge is plugged in, I get a "connected but no internet" and when it's unplugged, I get, "connected to the internet" but with a weak signal.
I'm not sure what the issue is, but the Nook is the only device that constantly has this problem.
A better solution is use Opera Mobile 10 beta and select opera:config. The proxy setting is in there. Works 10 times better then Fennec/Firefox.
but what I really want is something that can proxy the whole system, so that market and gmail and other apps have access to the internet
Are you all sure that there's no solution to that? even as of now?
I posted a new version of TetherGPS and TetherGPS Lite (1.1.3) to the market this morning that should now work with the G-Tablet. If anyone runs into problems with it please shoot me an e-mail.
Thanks!

Do you have mock locations enabled? It's under settings>applications>development>enable mock locations.
New version works on Vegan 5.1.1 for me.

what did you do to get it work I am running vegan rom 5.1? I have installed the new version and turned both the widgets on and properly tethered to my phone. Google maps still say unable to locate me? Yes I did allow for mock locations

Which tether app are you using? I've heard of people having problems with Barnacle. You may have to manually specify the broadcast IP in the TetherGPS app. You can either set it to the exact IP of the tablet, or put 255 in the variable part of your IP address (for /24 subnets). So if your tablet's IP is 192.168.1.x, set the broadcast IP to 192.168.1.255.
Edit: BTW, you can see what IP the server is trying to transmit on by checking the notification bar on the server. If an IP doesn't appear, then the phone probably isn't getting GPS signal or GPS isn't enabled.
I'm running TnT Lite 4.4.0 and it works well although every now and then I will get a TetherGPS FC several minutes after exiting the app.
You are running it on both devices correct? Server on your android phone and client on your gtablet...

It doesn't work with the iphone. You need to have an Android phone. The server runs on the Android phone and the client runs on the Android tablet.
TetherGPS works great on my G-Tablet with TnT Lite v4.4.0 when I connect to my phone using Barnacle Wifi Tether. I haven't been able to get it to work using my home network though.
This is a great application. Thanks!
I've played with this app for a couple weeks. And I just can't get it to work...
Any ideas?
Gtab vegan5 beta1
moto Droid CM7rc4
I've checked the tabs IP and it was within range, I even set the server to broadcast to the gtabs specific IP an still no luck. Mock locations enabled, GPS enabled on both devices.
Tried on home wifi and through wifi tether.

My Nook is having CM7/Phiremod v5.2 and has been connecting to my home wifi with no problems.
Suddenly it can't connect. There is a small question mark on the wifi icon.
It scans and finds the usual networks. Try to connect, it seems to be negotiating, but it doesn't connect. I have tried to re-enter the key, but no success.
Has powered down and restarted several times. No luck.
Ran a "fixing permissions" from Rom Manager (dunno' if it could help, but...). No luck.
Other devices can connect to my home wifi.
Connected the Nook to the wifi access point at my work. No problems, good connection.
Tried to boot Honeycomb of the SD-card. Wifi couldn't connect.
The wifi hardware of the Nook works, but it won't connect to a network that it has been connecting to ever since I got the Nook.
What's going on?
Anybody has a cure?

First off, have you rebooted your AP? Sometimes they go stupid.
Have you tried deleting and reconfiguring the connection? IE: The "Forget" option?
Also, verify that your access point is not using AES encryption for the connection. AES seems problematic. TKIP seems to work okay.
Just stRted happening to today as well.

No reboot yet. The reason is that my home AP is managed by my work, and reboot means all sorts of hassle. So I'll avoid as long as possible. But other devices (my laptop) connects.
Yeah, deleted and reconfigured. No change.
It's using TKIP.
Now I'm doing a backup of the Nook, considers installing Phiremod v5.3.
Maybe that'll change something.
What about deleting some of the caches of the Nook. Anything there?
Same here. Wifi was working until today (4/4). All other devices in my home network are connected without problems.
I have 1.1, rooted with autonooter.
Updated with Phiremod v5.3.
Problem still there
Enter passkey, says "Authenticating" and then the connection to the AP is "Disabled".
In addition Market has disappeared.
Not good.

Ok, connected to another wifi - no problem.
Market popped up. Good.
But it still won't connect to my access point at home. And it worked perfectly until sunday!?
Mindboggling.
Did you try hitting menu while in the WiFi options menu, and going to advanced? You can force the nook to have a static IP and connection information. It might help, you never know.

Haven't tried that. Will do tonight. Thanks.
I did go to Advanced and choose not to let wifi go to sleep. Didn't help.

And you still haven't unplugged it for 30s? Do it.
Happy end, just like the fairy tales
My access point needed a kick in the butt!
Is this a problem specific to Phiremod (5.3), or are people having WiFi issues with the Nook Color in general?
New to Nook Color and to Phiremod. Have everything up and running just fine, but keep getting repeatedly kicked off WiFi every few minutes. Have to disconnect then reconnect. No other devices have issues. I never used the Nook Color stock, so no idea if it's just the device itself.
Router's an up-to-date Netgear WNDR4000, running WPA2-PSK [AES]. WEP or WPA-PSK [TKIP] not an option -- not secure.

Uh, wrong forum?
Hey,
I am using the motorola xt860 droid 3. Owned it for about a month.
Each time i try streaming a video from youtube for example, it streams for about 10-40secs, then wifi disconnects and error comes up saying "cannot play video". As soon as the video stream closes off (due to error), the wifi begins to reconnect and connects successfully once again.
The problem is not the wifi network because someone else streams video from their iphone as normal.
This only recently started occuring. Please help.
Thanks
Have you tried streaming using your XT860 on a friend's wifi network? Or a hotspot? Does the same issue occur?
Or... I know you don't want to mess with your wifi network, but have you checked if there is a firmware update for your wireless router? Back when I had my Desire Z i had a similar problem, then after updating my firmware on my wireless router, I didn't experience the problem any more. Good luck!
Hey,
Well apparently the problem was with the internet connection/router. I was on an offshore rig and the internet connection was not the best. Because now that im back home, on my own wifi connection, the problem is not happening again.
Thanks for the info, if it ever happens again i would be sure to try that.
Thanks alot.
This always worked great on my D4 before. Not sure what I've done to break it.
D4
Rooted
Eclipse 1.5.2 clean install via safestrap
wifi tether 3.2 beta 2 with device profile set to generic ics wlan0
When I start wifi tether it starts with no errors. About 50% of the time other devices can see the SSID from my phone and 50% of the time they can't and I have to stop and restart wifi tether. Then, when they try to connect, they authenticate just fine but then freeze up at "obtaining IP address..." and never actually obtain an IP and connect.
I've been playing around with all the settings (routing fix, keep alive, wifi driver reload...) but nothing seems to be helping.
Anyone know what I should check? Thanks in advance.
in wifi-teather try setting the device profile to droid bionic and also check routing fix
see if that works for ya
Well hey, that actually worked. Thanks!
(How did you know that would work?)
