I have installed TetherGPS to both my NC and DX. I start server on the DX and client on NC. NC tells me that it isn't receiving location. How do I get this to work? My NC is running CM7 nightly 29. Will be going to Rc4 once I can take the time to get to comp nook says not enough space left on SD

Are both devices connected to the same network? Does the server show an IP in the notification bar? Once it starts broadcasting location it will show "Broadcast IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx". Make sure GPS is enabled and the phone has a clear view of the sky, or is near a window.
I haven't tried it since updating my DX to gingerbread, but before I was using wireless tether for root and TetherGPS simultaneously. With phone in window. Phones GPS was functioning perfectly.
Edit: I just tried it and Automatic Broadcast IP was selected still not reciecing location on NC. In selected it but lost as to what to enter for an IP address to broadcast

Is the Nook tethered via WiFi to the DX or connected to the same WIFI network? If not then TetherGPS won't work, you must make sure that the tether is working properly before attempting to start the server or client.
Be sure to check the notification bar on the server. If it just says "TetherGPS Server" and doesn't list a broadcast IP, then your phone's GPS probably isn't getting signal.

Hey guys, so here at PITT, the school runs a 802.11x infrastructure wifi network, and I cannot connect.
I am running HC v4. When I go into WIFI, the Nook will see the network. Then when I put in PEAP, my username, and password, nothing happens. I just hit "connect" and the nook does nothing. It is like it does not remember the settings I just put in.
It connects fine to the adhoc network on my phone (tether). Also, it connected to PITTnet fine before when just rooted, and with nookie froyo.
I tried doing this (with slightly different settings): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974689&highlight=wifi
But it did not work. It is like the Nook sees the network, but just refuses to do anything with it.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I connect to an 802.11x network here @ work, and my recommendation is to hop on the market on another wifi connection, and download "Wifi ACE" to facilitate editing the config easier. If you can't download from market but have ADB working, you could manually install the .apk from here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-ace/
I will tell you - I've had spotty capability to access this network using HC v4, internal eMMC build v2. I have 100% success using Nookie Froyo and Phiremod, by comparison, using the exact same settings - I manually saved off the wpa_supplicant.conf file between installs. I experience the same symptom you do, I see the network fine, just refuses to connect.
Think we're just stuck till AOSP releases and we get a new version of HC on the NC.
Same as you, any other WiFi network connects with ease. It is just the 802.11x network I have problems with. It worked for me on HC eMMC v1 though, so if you haven't tried that give it a shot.
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've just purchased a Nook Color and am waiting for it to arrive. My current Droid REFUSES to join WPA/AES wireless networks, which is what I unfortunately run at home. I've no idea if this a hardware issue with my Droid...so...have any of you had the Nook Color connect and use a WPA/AES network?
PS : No, I can't simply switch my wifi to WPA2 or TKIP. I have a wireless print server that will only use WPA/AES or WEP.

From what I understand the Nook has the same issue, if you are using a Droid X the nook uses almost the same Chipset.
I have the original Droid....I've no idea if the Droid X has the same wifi issue.

if your router supports it change your security settings to wpa/wpa2(it will use both types of security at the same time)
thats what i use on my router and my nook connects fine
if i run into a wpa only network ill test it and report back

I just went through this issue when setting up an old linksys wrt54xxx modem (..the small 4x4" model) for someone last night.
After some trial and error I found that if I set it to WPA/AES only (NOT auto - tkip/aes... the setting was buried pretty deep in the UI) and set it to G-only wifi mode (..not auto b/g/n) I was able to connect flawlessly with both my nook color and my droid x when both couldn't see the network with default settings.
It seems that it is the "auto" features in the router that cause the problem.

Actually it's the NC that the problem. At home, every device (WinXP SP3, macbook, ipod touch, HP DV1000 laptop and a whole host of other wifi devices) works with 802.11n but the NC. I had to set my wifi to 802.11g ONLY.
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!

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.

Hello everyone. I had a problem with my samsung captivate and my netgear wnr 2000 wifi hotspot. When I was using 2.1 eclair, it wasn't able to connect to my home wifi. Even now with me running 2.2, I STILL can't. I tried the all share method. It connected but nothing that requires internet worked. Browser, youtube, etc didn't work even when it said it was connected, and the bars of wifi are showing. Anyone know how to fix it? I am really frustrated with it saying "obtaining IP Address" everytime I'm trying to connect to it. I hate using 3G in my own household. Anyone have that same problem? Any solutions?

You also might want to check your router to see if it has a limit to how many connected devices it can have and also if you have a MAC address block on the router.
Using a password? If so try removing the password (temporarily) just to eliminate one thing out of the equation.
Also, does your router have one of those wps buttons that automatically sync with your device? If so have you tried that?
Another thought... I just glanced though your routers user guide and see an option called "Wireless card access setup". If enabled, this blocks all devices not on the "trusted" list. Make sure it's disabled (or add your phones mac address to the list)
Edit: popfan already covered my last point.

I had this exact problem, where it would just say "Obtaining IP Address" for about 30 seconds then say "Error" or something like that but only for my own wifi. I could connect to other wifi's fine.
Anyways, try deleting "bcm_supp.conf" using Root Explorer, reboot. Then go into Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Menu key -> Advanced and check Use Static IP
Once you have that, open up command prompt on your computer and type in ipconfig /all. Then manually put in the IP you see on your command prompt to the corresponding slots on your phone.
P.S. For IP address, use the IP your router assigned to your phone. You will need to go into your router settings for that.
After that, try connecting again. Voila!
At least that fixed it for me.
Lastly, I'm not sure if these settings affect other password protected networks. Open networks work fine though.
Thanks for all the ideas! Ill keep you guys posted and ill make sure to try all the options. 'Cuz using 3G in your house is stupid

Glad it worked out. Routers can be a pain sometimes.
