So, my internet has been dead for 1 1/2 days now. First hour I though maybe sprint network was down or something? I dunno. But now I cant even get a connection. Calls are still being made, incoming/outgoing. I have The newest fresh rom 2.1, with the new radio. I've checked the settings, all internet connection related is turned on. So whats happening?

=] Get your ass back to Giz. and in the IRC... NOW.
I can verify that this is happening with me as well. Only happens when I try to run wireless tether, my data connections is completely gone for some time, even though data is enabled. I upgraded my friends phone to the sprint leaked version (no root required) and she too is ha ving problems w/ her data connection. Any ideas?
Tried on DamageControl 2.08 as well as Fresh 2.0d same outcome w/ the wireless tether, as soon as the it connects it completely shuts off the data connection in my phone. Wireless tether worked prior to this happening.
Well you see, its like this. The internet... well, its not a big truck. Its not something you just DUMP something on. The internet.. its a series of tubes!
JK. Seriously though, toggling airplane mode on and off should fix you right up.
Thanks a lot, definitely resets the data connection for the phone. Any tips to get wireless tether to work properly again ?

Fellow Forumers! (Yea i know)

If you could answer this it'd be great.

Turn it off on your phone. Just tap in the same place you did to turn it on. If all else fails, kill your mobile network.

Does it turn off on the phone but just not the device?
On computer mouse over wireless connection left click and then left click on network and sharing center,once there click on manage networks and delete android tether.Next time you use wireless tether computer will ask if you want to save this connection, close without saving and you wont have this prob again.
Are you using the most up-to-date version? or the market version?

So I have somewhat of a strange issue with my wi-fi on my captivate. At home, my WiFi works great, no issuses. But when I go to my college, I can scan and connect to the WiFi spots but it still acts like I'm not connected. No data apps work at all, everything 'Fails to connect'
Using Wifi Analyzer, I see that its a strong connection. Even tried connecting to different channels, walking around trying different hot spots.. still no difference.
Why would my phone do that? Is there different kinds of WiFi networks phones cant connect to? But like i said, it see's and connects to the hot-spots there, just acts likes theres no data..

I had this issue last night when I was at a Hilton. IT saw the connection and connected but no data transfer. Found that when I connected to my laptop it redirected me to a page to enter the pswrd. So when I connected my phone again I loaded up the page from the laptop and entered the code. then it worked. Not sure if it helps
When you connect to the open wifi network simply open your browser and you should find instructions for that establishments network.

I started having a similar issue. I connect and get no data connection anytime I'm on wifi. It's happening on stock 2.1 and all 2.2 roms. After about two weeks of this, I called and am getting a warranty repair. I've had this phone since early august and never had any wifi problems.

When you connect to the connection that is not giving data, open your browser. Some places instead of useing a pin code use a webpage where you input the code.

open network at Denny's Restaurant
connect not a problem
no pin needed?
have breakfast with no data, go home and works fine on my wifi and I can hook to my neighbors wifi and hers is an open network?????
...I don't know if the problems are the same and apply to me.
Okay, I rooted the phone and upgraded to cyanogenmod 6...everything worked great (had a few bumps down the road but fixed them and continued on the way). I got passed the g1 splash screen and into the google sign in screen. I sign in but it doesn't connect to servers. I have data and am connected to wifi.
Did I do something wrong? What can I do to pass this?
I searched every where before I decided to post so please if you think that this is a repeat of an older thread, I'm sorry, that was not my intention.
Please help me.

Sound like you do not have a reliable DATA connection. Do you see the EDGE, 3G, etc...?

I don't see the 3G sign but I do see the wifi connection sign, and I do have connection to it...maybe it's not that strong? I'm currently using a wifi spot and am not at home, but shouldn't the 3G just cover where ever I am sorta speak?
you should also activate:
Settings->Account & sync : both background data and auto-sync
try this! i had the same problem times ago

Concur with P4p3r1n0. Also, make sure that your APN setting is there and correctly filled out.
That should have done the trick, where you able to fix it??
Currently I'm using wifi tether with an unrooted Toshiba thrive, non-ad-hoc mode. I know that someone else has already posted this on here, but I have found a way to use it without it setting itself up as ad-hoc, and I couldn't find the other post about it. I did not write this program so I take no credit for it.
0. Need to have root, and I'm currently in gingerbread
1. dl the latest beta (currently 6) of wifi tether from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
2. After you have done that you need to go into "settings", go to "change device profile" go down to "LG optimus s" and select that
3. Now go down to "change LAN" and select "192.168.1.0/24"
4. Enjoy the blazing speed of 4g on something other than you revo
I'm not saying this will work for everyone, I am rooted as well as having gingerbread, so this may be another caviat to it. But try it anyway, what's the worst that can happen. And if anyone else has any other settings that may help, please share

Ya, DSpair in IRC had found this out a week or two ago, but all you have to do is select Optimus S as device and Softap under set up method. Worked perfect for my Galaxy Tab.

Wow finally I got my phone to beacon infastructure! Thanks!
Unless I am not seeing it, I can't find a setting to disable 'n' mode. That mode tends to cause the connection to fluctuate from 6Mpbs to 65Mbps and basically loses connection just as the problem with the 4gHotSpot App.
Overall, great find. I tried that once before but couldn't get any of the profiles to work. Can't remember if "LG Optimus s" was on it at the time and maybe changed the network to 192.168.1.0 was the trick.
Connects and Windows will auto connect and it IS Infrastructure. Just hope I can find a way to disable 'n' mode so I can maintain a strong connection. When I went to 'g' only mode in HotSpot, I maintained a solid, no dropout connection rate. Sure, n at 65Mbps would be nice, but g works and is fast enough for tethering and what the standard tethering apps use (the 54Mbps speed)..
Thanks for the heads up and the post!
-Cybie
PS. The only part I don't like about the find is it de-motivates me to figure out the HotSpot app per my post/thread, lol. But, I can live with that!
EDIT: The speed I am referring to is the link speed with the Windows Task Manager/Networking tab. When the phone connects, it's 'LinkSpeed' is 65Mbps. When you access internet, or not always so, it will drop the Link Speed down to 6Mbps. If you try to use SpeedTest.Net or Speakeasy.net/speedtest, they will usually come to a halt on download testing near the end. That's the Wifi dropping out. With this and the 4gHotSpot, that will happen. But as soon as I changed the HotSpot to 'g' only connection (at 54Mbps Link Speed), it maintained and never dropped out.
I've had absolutely no problems with fluctuation of service when it comes to internet as long as i have 3g or better service.

Interesting... I finally got it to work this way. Previously I had been using the standard ad-hoc method, and when I'd switch over my Nook Color couldn't obtain an IP address.
The apparent solution(s) was to put it in SoftAp (still would not get IP address), then forget the connection (left over from ad-hoc) and reconnect.
Seems to work like a charm now.
I just leave it on auto, i wasn't really sure what each method was

That's what I was doing, and it seemed to work fine, but leaving it on auto means it's ad-hoc. I guess some people have had issues with ad-hoc, hence the need for true infrastructure, but I personally have been able to get anything I want to connect to ad-hoc. Of course, I don't own a high end tab...

The one thing you can't get to connect to ad-hoc is another android device. At least none that I know of. It's an issue the Google is supposed to be working on. The other problem with ad-hoc, such as tethering Windows (mainly because Windows has the lamest networking abilities) is that it won't connect automatically. Windows will automatically sense Infrastructure and if you've selected to automatically connect, it will do so every time you switch on tethering. With ad-hoc, you don't have the auto connect ability within Windows. At least not without any 3rd party software/hacks that I'm not currently aware of.

I notice that the wifi tether always drop then reconnect every 30-45min connected to my laptop or desktop both win 7 64bit even when my phone screen is on but when the screen is off it'll take much longer for the tether to reconnect and sometimes it won't connect until I turn the screen back on. When the screen is off it tend to drop more frequently 15-20mins.
Are there a way to fix this?
My tether settings
Optima s - ad hoc - 192.168.1.0/24 - disable wake/lock - client approval on
I'm using wifi tether 3.1 pre100
This also happen when I was using 3.1 beta6 that's when I download and install the newer version 3.1 pre100
They just release 3.1 pre101 I'm thinking of trying that to see if that'll fix the bugs

Just picked up a LG Revo the other day off of craigslist and the first thing I did was install gingervolt 1.2 and android-wifi-tether 3.1 pre6. It's only been a day but so far so good. Wifi tether is working and the phone is super fast.
I'm hoping a future version of wifi tether will allow the phone to adjust wifi broadcast power and/or include bluetooth pan. 4G + wifi tether is sucking up about 20% an hour right now.

Since my laptop and pc connect to ad-hov only I adjust the transmit power to 3mW and do notice it uses lesser power and since my phone is always close to the pc/laptop I don't need to set it to high.
This setting is only for ad-hoc " 3mW-30mW "

If you're using ad-hoc and that works fine for your needs, I would recommend Garden Tether on the market. Never had an issue with it working other than not able to connect my friends 3g android phone to mine for faster downloads.

Garden Tether is ad-hoc only. It's stable and available in the market. It's, in my opinion, the best overall reliable/working tether app out. I've never had any disconnect issues.
Aside from the Verizon 4g Hot Spot app, the wifi tether beta allows infrastructure connectivity along with ad-hoc. If you've ever tried to connect an Android device to an ad-hoc only network, it's likely it either didn't 'see' it, or couldn't connect. Other devices out there fail to connect to ad-hoc also, so infrastructure is needed.
And, look closer. These two apps don't look identical within the settings.. Close, but different.
