Wifi Tether for Root Users - 3G ok but no Wifi

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.

Wifi no longer working with paul's froyo [FIXED]

anyone else having the problem of wifi no longer connecting after updating TO froyo?
edit:
Okay just had coworker enable his nexus as a hotspot and I connected fine.
Must have something to do with the phone's wifi driver and home router.

Wifi still good for me.

Re: Wifi no longer working with paul's froyo
I see a bunch of people reporting alot of bugs in Froyo, i havent seen any bugs yet. My answer to OP is: No.

i can't get wifi to work on any froyo!
it's just obtaining the ip adress but not connecting

i'm having the same problem on my phone. i flashed the stock rom update-nexusone-EPF21B-signed, the the frf 50 rom and everything was working fine for a few hours then suddenly it stopped working. now when i try to turn on my wifi, it just scans then says it's disconnected then starts scanning again.

everything is working fine but i just can't get any wifi! :'(

Okay, glad I'm not the only one. Wonder how we can go back to older wi-fi drivers.

This, I think there's a lot of operator errors going on that are being blamed on FroYo

Hey if you got any ideas on what I did wrong, I'm all ears. All I know is wifi worked fine before switching to Froyo.
(but the new wi fi drivers didn't work on 2.1 either and i had to go back to the old ones)

Re: Wifi no longer working with paul's froyo
Mine disconnects after a while of not using the phone. Wifi on profile widget stays on. But in wifi settings it shows not in range which shouldn't happen anywheree in my apartment.
Need to turn off and turn onwifi again to reconnect.

if more than one person is having a problem, i'm certain it's not a user error like one person said it could be (quite an asinine comment if you ask me). it's never an operator error when you turn off your wifi and half an hour later you try to turn it on only to discover it won't turn on.....how the hell is that an operator error?

i didn't have any problems whatsoever. check the md5 hash, make sure your download was fine.
make sure you wipe everything, then reinstall. if you have old data cache'd, and then tried to flash the update, that may very well be the problem.

Yeah, having troubles connecting to 802.1x EAP Wireless Networks, PSK works fine for me at home.
Yes, I wiped, checked MD5 etc..
I'm using Pauls Rooted Froyo zip

i made sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache/battery and rotation. i do this everytime i switch roms. after 12 hrs of working fine, i just don't understand why it suddenly quit. before i flashed to froyo, i made sure to read up as much as possible to ensure i didn't miss a step. the worst part is, no matter which rom i'm using now, i have no wifi.

one thing i noticed is pre-froyo, when i flashed pershoot's kernels with new WiFi drivers i could not connect at home, but when i used kernels with older drivers, I was fine. That said, maybe it will work with other WiFi access points a la the point made about not working with certain WiFi router types. Will test when I have the opportunity.

Must have something to do with the phone's wifi driver and home router.

I had problems connecting to my router (a Belkin N1). I set a static IP on the Nexus One and then it works perfectly.
I have tried to connect to my work router and it got a DHCP lease fine and worked fine (only at 54Mbps G speeds).
Perhaps this new radio image has N enabled and something is screwing up with the DHCP lease. I will try to replace my home router with another N router and report back.

I had the same problem with a message saying connecting but not picking up the IP address.
I suspect it was a conflict with the Static WiFi app I was using. I've unloaded this and after restarting and re-saving the static ip details it connected up OK.
For now I'll have to switch between static and dhcp manually I guess....

I came from Desire R19. My wifi doesn't connect as well now, i.e. seems to need a stronger signal from the AP. Last week I was getting 2 bars of wifi for the AP in my office, and now I get 1 or none. I'm getting a bar or two less at home too. I'm guessing some kind of difference in the Radio.

WiFi issue I have seems to be AP manufacturer specific
At home
Pre 2.2 I could connect without problem to my Linksys WRT 600N, no problems, DHCP etc.
Post 2.2 I cannot connect, gets to acquiring address and then craps out and re-scans
At work
Cisco wireless kit, (no idea of type of AP) pre 2.2 connected OK, post 2.2 connects OK
WPA2 security on both setups

WIFI disables after going to sleep.

My nook is rooted via autonooter, I have ADB working properly, and I have used the commands to add AD HOC networks to be viewed by the NC. Since then my WIFI drops out, and i must turn it off, the back on to work properly. Otherwise it can't recognize ANY networks at all. Does anyone else have this problem? If so is there a fix.

Mine shows all the networks but occasionally wont let me connect even when other devices are connecting just fine. Worked on my home network and then stopped. Changed my security protocol on my router and it worked but now Im not getting connections again. Works on my captivates mobile AP though no prob.

I have had similar issues on occasion. I am experimenting with an app called wifi manager. You can control the networks that the nook scans when it wakes up. I think most of my problem is the lengthy scan that mine goes through (9 or 10) network options and appears to maybe time out when waking. Like I said I have only used this a couple of hours but it seems to allow the nook to connect quicker than before, within 15 seconds. May give it a try, free on the market.

[Q] WiFi issue after flashing Decad3nce's 1.1 r1 ROM

Hi all, newbie poster, but been on the forums for about 2 weeks. Thanks for all who have provided such great methods to unlock the full potential of the NC!
I flashed to Decad3nce's 1.1 ROM yesterday from my Autonootered 1.01 setup, and was able to get most issues worked out, but the one thing left that's bugging me is the WiFi. When I initially boot up, it seems the device recognizes my WiFi network, and connects. However, after I resume the NC from sleep, it doesn't reconnect to my access point. In fact, the only way I've been able to get the connection back it to use the stock browser, at which point I'm asked which network to connect to. It says my network is "remembered", but it won't connect automatically, I need to manually connect every time.
Any ideas on why this is happening, and how I can get the NC to automatically connect to my network after resuming from sleep?
Thank you!

Hi there. Wass havingg the same issue you had. Take a look at the instructions for enabling adhoc wifi on Nookdevs.com Wether you want to enable adhoc or not that's up to you. But i followed the directions for Settings Profile Pro from there. Now everytime i turn off my screen and turn it back in. My nook connects right away to my wifi network.
Edit: Mine connects fine. But with my wifes nook. If she is coming off a reboot. She would have to goto settings and connect initially. But after that. Everytime she turns off her screen and turns it back on it reconnects right away.
Good luck.

I had that problem with 1.01. It occured after I ran the script for swapping the adhoc and infrastructure supplicants without disabling wifi first. The only thing that fixed it for me was a full reset from 1.0.0. Router was a verizon fios router/modem.

I had this problem before and can't test if it still happens but for me it only happens with one wireless network and all the others are fine. Is that the way yours behaves? Since it worked fine with others I didn't really worry about it
You said you can only get it to work by opening the browser - does that mean it doesn't work if you toggle wifi off and on? That was usually how I got it to connect to that one network

Same issue. After sleeping it sees my AP but doesn't connect. Turning wifi off and on recovers it.

Well, it looks like no immediate solution to this other than starting from a factory reset. I restored my backup ROM from CWM that I saved prior to flashing to 1.1.0, and WiFi is working fine again, so I'll stay here on 1.0.1 until I hear of a solution. Plus, XDA app works as expected in 1.0.1 as well. Thanks for any additional help!

I'm having the same issue as others.
Decad3nce wanted some logs so I pasted them into PasteBin:
dmesg - pastebin.com/wsajYF77
logcat - pastebin.com/gPasCEtZ

Thanks for this post. This seems to have solved the problem for me.
Edit: Actually this didn't work I just didn't let it sleep long enough. Once it sleeps for several minutes WiFi requires a reset to reconnect.

Dmesg shows nothing wrong with tiwlan driver.
Logcat shows that the "nookwifimanager" just fails at reconnecting to preconfigured networks
Code:
D/NookWifiManager( 1188): Cannot connect to pre-configured networks
What kind of security do you have on your router? (might be wep bug)
Other than that, you can try using the patched wpa for ad-hoc

I was having an issue where it it would connect to Wi-Fi for a minute and then disconnect. I could turn off wi-fi and repeat the process. I restored to my last CW backup then I used the 1.1_r2 and everything worked perfectly. I'd rollback to the backup you did (if you followed Deced3nce's steps) then use the r2 update. It's made all the difference for me.

I flashed r2 and I'm having the same issue...I have to turn off/on wifi after it goes to sleep in order for it to connect

Did you flash it over top of r1? Or did you start with 1.0.1? And were you using any special kernels prior to the flash?

similar issue - wifi only works after a reboot. after sleep it can see but cannot connect to either adhoc or infrastructure networks. no fix other than to reboot. which is a huge PitA

I actually flashed it over rooted 1.0.0. And I was running the 900 mhz kernel

[Q] CM7 nightly Wifi issue. Unable to connect.

I am having a wifi connection issue with CM7 nightly build 14&15. When i try to connect to my wifi it allows me to type in my passcode then proceeds to attempt the connection. It appears to be caught in a loop or something. Under wifi connection it shows scanning, connecting, then disconnected then it repeats. Wifi works fine under stock unrooted, rooted and nookie froyo SD. Does anyone else have this issue? I cannot post to android development yet. Thanks in advance.

I have a clean flashed 15 right now, and wifi is working stellar. Did you by chance not format cache/data, and still have a bunch of saved hotspots in wireless? I know a fix earlier was to "forget" all the saved wifi hotspots, and resave them.

Same problem I have been experiencing among others. It seems like if your router is using WPA you will have problems connecting. Switching to a different security encryption or wiping all remembered access points seem to be the only solution that I know of.

Yes, I formated system, data and cache when installing. CM7 works great on my Evo 4g, strange. I tried forgetting the hotspot and received the same error. Will try an unencrypted hotspot and will report back. Don't really understand why I am having this issues and others aren't. Thanks for the replies.

I've seen like 6 other people with this problem its not just you.

I'm experiencing the same problem of Wifi flashing on and off when I try to connect to a WPA encrypted router. Will try to Forget saved networks and see if that solves the problem. I'm running phiremod's version of CM7.

Mallinj. Same issue here with phiremod. Forgetting did not work for me. Let me know what happens for you. Thanks.

That wifi file is named nookie froyo. This definitely works for cm7?
Usually what I have to do is some voodoo with toggling airplane on, then let wifi loop for about five minutes before it finally connects.

Been having this issue as well, what I have been doing when it has been switching on/off in the Wifi Settings is hitting Menu > Advanced settings and waiting a few seconds and it usually connects just fine.

Yeah it works. It takes the working wifi file from nookie froyo and pushes it to your CM7 file.

I had this same problem yesterday morning. What I had to do was forget my network's settings, turn off wifi, then go turn off my router, turn the Nook's wifi back on, let it sit for a few seconds, turn my router back on, then try to connect. Strange as it sounds, this actually worked.

Time pilot aka, Thanks for the tip! Will try it later today.

Finally
I was able to solve my connection loop issues. I tested WPA and WEP on my D-Link Wireless N router DIR-615 with no success. Tried toggling on and off with airplane mode. Tried forgetting my router, turning things on and off at different sequences and intervals.
Then I set my router to B&G only. Basically turning wireless N off and it worked like a charm. I am able to connect using any encryption method. So from my experimenting it was the wireless N protocol that was the issue.
For people out there with issues and want to keep their wireless router encrypted try turning wireless N off. Worked for me.
Thanks everyone for their input.
