I'm currently running Firefly 2.7, but I've had a similar issue across a couple roms and several modems. The only successful tethering I've EVER done has been via Firefly here and whatever stock kernel/modem it comes with.
Basically, I'm looking for anyone to explain to me what process they use to tether...
I've never successfully USB tethered. I've hotspotted twice, once it worked GREAT (I was plugged into usb at the time for power), it was fast and flawless. I tried over and over again one day and finally got it to connect, but it repeatedly wanted to time out and error, although it never lost its wifi connection. That time I was NOT plugged in.
These are both using the baked-in tether options in Froyo---USB tether and hotspot, NOT using an external app. I've also used PDANet successfully, but I'd prefer to be able to bounce between systems (I actually use about 5 different laptops regularly) and share the connection on the road.
All my systems are using Win 7, selecting home or work as network type. Any suggestions welcome.
Quick edit: I've noticed that sometimes with this rom my wifi will stop working all together---I don't leave it on normally, but sometimes it won't turn on.
i dont have any wifi issues with Firefly
I have never done USB tether before now. It worked on first try. took me less than a minute to figure out and have working.
however to enable USB tethering.
plug USB into PC
Press Menu button
Press Settings
Press Wireless and Network
Press Tethering
Press CHECK enable.
PC will do the rest by itself. (win 7 64 / other drivers pre-installed)
Yea, that's pretty much exactly what I did. You're successfully hotspotting and usb tethering w/ firefly base rom? Hmm. Anyone else?
tethering AND hot-spotting?...
no i tethered only. ( PC got internet from PHONE via USB )
hot spotting is wifi.. ( aslo know as Mobile AP )
you want to do both? or...?
EDIT: you can also share internet through Bluetooth if your pc has it. mine does.
EDIT EDIT: to get my Mobile AP fully connected (no limited connectivity), i had to have windows "Troubleshoot the connection" . And setup your Mobile AP settings on Phone to use WPA2 with password. your phone # is a good choice for PW.
I just want to do one OR the other successfully each time. Bluetooth isn't a choice currently, really the Mobile AP is the best overall solution. I had just left it open to see if I could connect, but if I can make it work every time I'll certainly secure.

Using my Tilt from AT&T I swapped out the stock ROM for the Sleuth v3 ROM and haven't had a problem since. Well until now. This morning I realized that the WiFi wasn't connected when I went to get a file from my email, normally it's just easier to do that rather than download it to my PC and transfer it. But when I went to activate the WiFi, the WiFi turned off immediately after establishing a connection to the router.
I know it's not the router, the PC I'm using right now is connected to it, as are 2 other PCs. I tried connecting to another wireless network, but the WiFi on the Tilt does the same thing - connect then deactivate.
I'm pretty much stuck and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?
*edit* Sorry, forgot to mention that up until now I haven't had an issue with the wireless.
*edit2* Using the internet sharing, I'm suddenly now connected to the wireless network? Maybe I somehow blundered my way through... I'll experiment and keep this post updated.
my Trinity 3600i got same wifi issue as yours before. but It seems recover after I reflashed a new rom.
Ok so now I'm not really sure whats going on. From Comm manager, I click the WiFi button and it starts to connect. Once it does, the WiFi is disabled within 1-2 seconds of connecting.
I tried the Internet Sharing option with my Tilt hooked up to my PC and instead of connecting to the EDGE network, it connects to the wireless network. When I look at the comm manager screen again, the internet sharing is disabled, but the wifi is enabled.
Same thing is happening to me. I connect for a second, and then wireless lan disables itself. Using dutty's WM6.1 WWE with radio 1.58.26.20. I have another att tilt with the same problem (I unlocked it one earlier today). I'm going to try messing around with my router a little more.
Anyone got any ideas?
edit: apparently, if it's connected to your computer via usb, if you turn on wireless lan, it'll shut itself off. Then if you unplug the usb, it'll turn on. boy do I feel stupid.
ah haha, i totally forgot about the USB wifi thing, i usually dont let it connect when im connected to the computer so i forgot about this x.x very sorry i couldnt have helped about this ealier
I just hope this addresses your problem Elm0
Hey guys so ive tried ever wireless tether app under the sun and none ever seem to work for me.
Im running Cyan's 4.01, PdaNet the wired version works flawlessly for me when i tether it to my computer, however done of the wireless ones EVER work for me, ive tried both aNetshare and the "Wireless Tether for Root" App that is floating around on the forums here, neither have ever worked for me
i have absolutely no problems connecting my computer to my G1 via wifi when using these programs, however the connection is always Peer to Peer and Local only, never internet and it never works
any ideas?
What OS are you trying to tether with?
Ensure your wifi network settings have DHCP set....
ALSO if you're wifi uses a NON-Microsoft Wifi settings software (e.g. Intel's or Broadcom) disable it and use the microsoft stack.
Are you trying to connect via Ad-hoc? Also are you using the WEP encryption? Does it give you any errors or just doesn't seem to connect?
The computer im connecting with is running Vista.
Im not using any form of WEP encryption is 100% open, it has no problems connecting peer to peer but the internet is inaccesible via tethering, it connects fine with no errors but it states local only with no internet access
Also as another side note, i use a program called SwiFTP which runs FTP via wifi so i can transfer file to and from my computer and G1 wirelessly , however that system never works, whenever i go to enable it, it says "Error Opening port, check your network connection" and the program does not work, ive tried changing different ports, i used the default port 2121 and it cannot open it, i also tried other random ones like 23 etc and it can never open a port or seem to work
Are you trying to connect via Ad-Hoc?
No, im using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" app downloaded off this forum
I think that is the problem. When you try to connect to the G1 on your computer, you have to set up the computer to connect via Ad-Hoc, not on the G1.
Not sure of the entire setup process, but go to the control panel and click on set up network connections (or something along that line) somewhere in the options of connection types there should be Ad-Hoc. You will have to enter the network name and confiure the WEP encryption, but it is pretty easy.
You should be able to figure it out from there. Let me know if you have any more problems.
access control option
have you checked the access control settings? if this is enabled, you have to manually allow the machines internet connection.
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.
Firewall?
Sure your Vista Firewall is on? If so FORCE it off and try again...
I've just updated to the latest Cyan and the thing I'm most interested in is the USB tethering. I know all I have to do is have my phone plugged into the computer and check the Internet Tethering box, but after that I don't know what else to do. The device was installed onto my computer after I checked the box, but is there something else I'm supposed to do?

i havent tried it yet but i believe you are supposed to look for a network on your computer
yes, on vista for me it automatically set up the connection, try searching for one, also to be safe make sure you are running the very latest which is 4.2.3.1. we have used pdanet a paid app, and this has improved the speed dramatically. hope you get it working!
After the device installs nothing happens.I've tried searching for connections on the computer, but it doesn't work. I have my phone connected to a router, so would that be a problem? I'm, not exactly sure if I'm supposed to tether the actual T-Mobile network or if I can just tether wifi.
Wouldn't work for me on wi-fi but worked perfecly fine on T-mobile's 3G. Fast too!!! I streamed some videos with no problem.
Windows Vista Home Premium x64
Found driver and connected without my interaction.
I recently bought a Samsung Series 6 Tv and Home Theatre System. Upon upgrading my mobile phone last week I opted for the Galaxy S as it will provide internet axcess to my Tv as I was using an iPhone and 3G dongle for internet axcess to my PC but both were stand alone devises and neither would connect my Tv to the internet. I have a Neccom wireless modem connected to all devices and they are also hard wirded connecting to the PC through the Realtex eathernet card. Most of the time they are stwitched off due to the fact that the iPhone won't give me internet connection without them switched off. The 3G dongle does.
So I pull the power on the Net Comm modem. Switch on Mobile AP and go into Setup/Network on the Samsung Tv. Make sure the SWL Samsung Wirless Link is switched because with it on I can't connect. Tests on the Tv to Router. So I see the Galaxy S and press connect, it tries for 30seconds and then comes the resulting message.....Connectio Failed. Have tried every comb off/on. Rebooting, downloading apps, changed settings, internet searches and Samsungs Help Desk. Ha, you might want to change that name.
So here I am, so close but yet so far. I hate that saying. So I've run out of options. Wait I could try connecting through the Blueray and with a miricale I might be able to axcess the internet through that. I'm a glass half full kind of guy, but I'm a realist and I very much doubt it. Im sure it something simple but I'm not a simple guy either and it's got me f'ked. I thought something else was using the Wi Fi as it wanted the Wireless connection from the phone to the router switched off. Then I thought it was the Tv because AP mobile seemed to be working fine. I could connect an iPhone through the Galaxy's AP Mobile and get internet. I eventually dismissed that theory because I can connect the Tv to the wirless router no problem.
So everything is new and working properly just the Tv wont connect to the Galaxy S when in AP mobile mode. It tries but fails. The sim card in there now does not have internet tethering set up on that number but I did try it days ago with a sim card with a 5G data attached to it but I've come along way since then but I feel like I haven't taken my first step.
Run out of things to try.
Any suggestions anyone??
I have been having issues where i am connected to the wifi but the device stops passing any traffic. I have fing installed and i can't ping any other devices on my network. I know its just my phone because i have my work phone and tablet connected to the wifi and they still work fine browsing webpages, watching movies etc while the droid turbo can no longer communicate with the local lan or out to the internet. If i switch the wifi off then on again it will reconnect and then work normally. I can then ping devices on the local lan and access pages on the internet. This has happened a number of times now since i got the device.
Edit: I just updated the phone and still get the issue. I have a cisco WAP at home, we have cisco WAP's at work which i will test tomorrow. If this thing still has issues i am just going to swap it out for a Note 4.

Yeah this phone does not seem to like my router for some reason. Keep in mind I'm not a networking expert, but I've tried every combination of options and settings every which way from Sunday and I just can't get the thing to work. When I do connect the phone to my wifi it kills the the connection on every device in the house. At first I though it was just a wireless thing, but even the downstairs computer which is plugged in directly to the router doesn't work. Then as soon as I disconnect the phone every device works again. I thought maybe there was too many devices, so I disconnected all but the downstairs computer, still had the issue when I connected the Turbo. I've tried just turning off the WPA2 and just having an open system, I've tried connecting the phone using a WPS pin (This one actually worked for a good 5 minutes before crapping out and hasn't worked since). On the advanced options of the phone I tried an automatic IP as opposed to the default DHCP setting (This also worked for a good 5 minutes before not working ever again). I've tried limiting it to just one frequency band. I have tried so many different things and I just cannot make this phone work on my router. And I know it's my router because the phone works fine at work.
phone: Droid Turbo
Router : Asus rt-ac66r
yup within ten minutes of getting home, the device no longer passes traffic. My work S5 still works fine at home and so does my samsung tablet. The device worked on wifi all day at work on our enterprise wpa2 network no issues. I tried doing static ip at home, changing to 2.4 ghz, trying new ssid. Not sure what else to do with this thing...
Not just you
I posted a comment on Motorola's forum where people are discussing their wifi issues... And my work around. I currently beleive its a software issue and can be fixed via update. Also, today I found (it appears) that the longer the phone goes without a reboot, the shorter amount of the it appears to go with out needing the wifi card reset.

My work around fix...
First, over night my wifes phone now behaves just like mine. It now connects to wifi and after sometime passes it no longer passes data (but stays connected). I needed a way to auto disable/enable the card... I installed Tasker. I have it set to check every 15 minutes, if the phone is connected to WiFi, to disable then enable the WiFi card. I use WifiMatic to enable the wifi card when the phone is connected to the cellular tower that is near my house. (Doing this by GPS uses more battery power...) Using Tasker with the rule to verify its connected to wifi first helps not enabling wifi if its nit needed and lets WifiMatic enable/disable it as needed.
