i am in a weird dilemma... My current postpaid plan includes unlimited data and i usually tether my phone or insert my sim card into a USB broadband device.
I recently upgraded myself into LG Optimus2x as i used to have Optimus One
anyway, my dilemma is between the mobile hotspot capability of the phone
I can use wifi tethering OPEN with no problem
but when i use WPA2 for password
my laptop cannot connect to it
it always comes up as unsuccessful/ limited connection
My laptop's OS is
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2
My LG O2x is on V20f STOCK version
running on 2.3.4 Android Ginerbread
Kernel Version is 2.6.32.9
Baseband Version is 1035.21_20110725
can anyone help me understand what seems to be the problem?
i think the ril/baseband is crappy
i used to have that.
using 1124 for both now
weh? how is it different... im using stock... how can it be wrong? wish i have the time to learn how to root... and ill do it as soon as ICS is stable

Hello
I'm unable to use a VPN connection with my SGT.
When i connected to my VPN with PPTP there is no data going through.
When i try L2TP, the connection never goes up.
Everything is working fine with other devices (PC, Mac, iphone)
It seams there is an issue with the vpn client.
Are you aware of these issue and or workaround?
thanks for you help
Nobody knows what is the issue ? I ve read that there is a problem with the vpn client
I have had a Verizon GT and now have an AT&T GT. I could never get the VPN client working with the Verizon unit and it worked the first time with the AT&T unit. The firmware is different (and I believe, later) on the AT&T model. I believe there is a problem that appeared in early firmware and was fixed at some point. I haven't seen a fix, but I was able to find third party software that worked with the routers that I need to connect to. Sorry I can't help more.
I have a vzw tab that was connecting with no problems over vpn until the last vzw patch. now it doesn't work...tun.ko loads fine and the vpn says connected but ifconfig never shows any tunnel interfaces and it doesn't work.
I may have to revert to a pre-update and finally bite the bullet and install a custom rom. such a pain in the ass.

I am running a wifi only (GT-P1010) with stock FROYO.UEKC6 and the 2.6.32.9 kernel and I cannot connect to a PPTP VPN either. Is there even a rom that works with this thing that will fix it? I was hoping to stay mostly stock with this device but if VPN doesn't work I have to do something. That's the main reason I bought it.
Strange thing is that it works fine on my Vibrant and has for a long time. Though I can also connect to my Ad-hoc AP on my phone unlike a lot of other people I have seen posting.
Hello, PPTP VPN is working fine here with a euro gsm gtab. Stock rom + overcome kernel.

The wifi only models are different from the gsm and cdma models.
VPN issues are related with the firmware you are running, so I'd suggest you if u got a GSM tab, flash the rotor JMI which known for working with VPNs.

Are there any roms that work on the wifi only tab that has vpn running on it? It is stupid that Samsung has not fixed this on a tablet. I really need to find a solution.
Samsung Support refuses to respond about vpn problem
I think VPN problems are well known by Samsung. I have emailed Samsung support twice inquiring for my registered Galaxy Tab wifi version and they have not responded so I'm considering returning the tab and getting an ipad. Apple support is first rate. Samsung won't even respond!
The pb seems to be from the froyo.
It may be fixe with android 2.3

Just rooted my Revolution today and installed wifi tether....the main reason I upgraded from my Dinc for 4G!!! Surprise!!! Doesn't work. Does anyone know if there is a reason I cannot tether my revolution with this app?
haven't gotten it to work for me either.
I'm assuming the dev hasn't updated it for LTE. Have you tried turning off 4g and trying it w/ 3g only?
You don't need to root. The free 4g hotspot will spit out 3g also if your not in a 4g area. So until July 6 i think, just use the Verizon provided app. I use it all the time and it works perfect.
Little Buddy Sr.
I haven't gotten mine to work either. It rather frustrating. I didn't realize there was free hotspot until july 6th? That's news to me.
actually, the stock app does seem to work for me. damn fast, too.
wifi Tether works too, i have it using wpa_supplicant with ASCII WEP, for some reason.
after connecting my cr-48 to it i got about 5mbps down, which is better than nothing.
random issue: bluetooth kept cutting out when using the tether.
Ok, several things.
I tried changing the access to ASCII WAP. Great. That got me to be able to enter a code. Its the validation that is still the problem. The status bar on my computer just sits there and says connecting to connection.
When the connection shows up in my wireless connection list, it has the 3 computer icons connected with arrows, instead of a signal reading. Could that be a problem? I guess its an ad-hoc network? I'm using WIFI Tether version 2.0.7 on a ASUS Windows 7 64 bit machine with an intel Centrino Core 2 processor
I know we have the 4g hotspot until july 6th, but I'm really hoping to find a solution or steps to a solution on this soon. I had Zero problems with 2 Incredibles.
As an aside, it also doesn't pair with my IPAD Wifi (I know, I know, its an apple product, but it was cheap).
Thanks everyone for you help!! I appreciate it.
wifi tether for root users (restored from backup) worked today
FYI-> I went to tether today and the 4G built-in app expired so i tried my restored wifi tether from my dInc.
it worked.
4g and 3g tested, both working.
not sure why this app didnt work before...
decrapped rom
I cant explain why, but download Open Garden Wifi Tether from android market. Basically same app as wifi tether but it works on Revolution.
Actually I take that back.. I havent been able to connect at all.. I was confusing the 4 days I spent with my thunderbolt before trading for the revo. Sorry..
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App
mixed results with the open garden wi-fi. It connects to my laptop, which is better than before. But speeds are so gosh dern slow. I know some tweaking is needed on my end. Does anyone know the difference between this and the wi-fi tether app? on the surface they look the same.
update your laptops wifi driver and enable adhoc.n mode. That solved all issues on both of my laptops.

I've updated the drivers, trying to figure out how to enable adhoc.n mode. not finding that easily. Running Intel WiFi
under device manager and right click on your wifi card and click properties. There should be a bunch of tabs and under one of them there should be a option for adhoc

Could this be an possible explaination?? Could Vzw block all tethering all together? Says a recent update could affect all phones..

Edit: drt054 this nothing new verizon already killed the free hotspot app last month for the lg revolution. Wifi tether still works and must be side loaded to get access to it, since we don't have access to it in the market.

I was able to install and try barnacle but didn't work, also downloaded via Windows7 and installed Wifi Tether 3.1 beta-1 which also did not work. http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com if anybody wants to try it out.
With barnacle I was able to connect to my phone using another android device by checking "skip wpa_supplicant" but there was no connectivity but said "Connected".
Does anybody have a successful tether to Windows7 or another Android device?
Just saw on another forum, wifi tether will only work if the kernel has netfilter enabled. Anyone know how to check?
Fixed android-wifi-tether app will be released in the next week or so, just hold on tight!
If you're still having problems, you might want to check your video card: I have an Intel 6200, and after some exhaustive Google-ing, I found that if you revert your driver to 13.1.1.1 it works fine.
If you're considering PDANet as an alternative, I'd advise against it; it's not a bad option per se, but the free version bars you from https sites after a while (a month I think), and it's slow... really, really slow in my experience (I was getting about 10KBps with PDANet, and now I pull around 60KBps... yeah, I'm way out in the boonies and can only get 3G for the time being).
Wifi Tether WORKS!!!
I just downloaded Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 3 and I have a successful tether to my Windows 7 desktop. In Wifi tether settings and under LAN make sure MSS clamping is checked. I don't know what it is but it works.. download here.

speedtest.net 10.25Mbps down
also, don't know if it matters but using Revolt 1.3 ROM
drt054 - I love you. They're up to beta 6 now so if anyone else is reading this be sure to download the most recent one.
Using Revolt 1.5.
I'm tring to run WiFi tethering software so I can get internet access on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I have an original Motorola Droid phone. I rooted the phone and when I run any WiFi tethering software it's broadcasting in Ad-Hoc mode. For some reason my Tablet can't see any Ad-Hoc networks. So, this is a big problem for me.
My friend has a Droid Incredible and he has a custom ROM installed on his phone and his phone doesn't broadcast in Ad-Hoc mode, his phone broadcasts with a regular WiFi connection. Why does his work that way and mine only works in Ad-Hoc? Do I have to install a custom ROM to get mine to work in regular WiFi mode? If so, which ROM is recommended?
Another solution is to get my Tablet to recognize Ad-Hoc networks. Is there some way to do that also?
Thanks so much for all your help and time!
Which tethering app are you using?
Both Wireless Tether and the 2.2 default 3G Hotspot app are broadcasting in infrastructure mode.
I remember my Wii not being able to connect to a hotspot created via Wireless Tether - did'nt try 3G Hotspot yet...
Well, I've tried different Hot Spot Apps and they are all the same. I used the same app on both my Droid phone and my friends Incredible phone. His phone worked in Infrustructure and mine worked as Ad-Hoc. I don't know what default 3G Hostspot app you are talking about. My phone didn't come with any. From what I was reading it has to do with the hardware of the phone. Since my phone is so old it only supports Ad-Hoc and the newer phones support Infrustructure. I think that's what people are saying.
I've been reading there is a way to make Tablets see Ad-Hoc but I can't find any information on how to do it with the Toshiba Thrive Tablet. I guess there are different patches and you need to find the right version that's compatible with your Tablet.
So, the only solutions I can see is get a newer phone that supports Infrustructure or to find the patch that works with my Tablet and lets it see Ad-Hoc.
Thanks!

I want to use my BB as modem for DS7 since I carry unlimited plan for BB. When pairing BB with DS7, my DS7 shows 'pair but not connected'. I click on the wrench icon and could not find any option to connect.
Anyone knows how to tether BB with DS7?
Thanks in advance.
Blackberries do not allow for internet tethering as far as I know. I just got rid of a Torch 2 a couple of weeks ago and there was no option for data tethering

Moving to General
It works with my XP laptop via USB after installing BB Desktop application. Maybe there's no app for tethering BB/DS7.
Does your specific BB explicity state it supports BT/wifi tethering?
If it supports wifi tethering, it must also be in infrastructure mode, android doesnt really support ad-hoc without additional modifications.
Generally those are the only methods for tethering one (non-pc) device to another, as wired ones generally require additional software. (iOS and apparently bbos like you stated does, android doesnt)
According to Blackberry support website tethering is possible with both USB and Bluetooth. It seems to be an issue with Android. My DS7 is TMO 4G model. I recently upgraded to Honeycomb 3.2 thanks to The Manii.
I also tried PDAnet tether but it didn't help.

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out. the wifi and portable hotspot are not working. The wifi has not been detecting open or locked wifi networks. When I try to create a portable hotspot, the phone displays the word, Error. I have Tmobile and use T-zones for my internet. Currently I am still using the internet but it is being used via USB. I still have and use internet so its not that Tmobile cancelled my internet but its more like something is wrong with the actual phone parts or the software. I have tired flashing other roms but no luck. I am currently using Android 2.3.4 on cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC1-IncS and also has S-off. The phone is unlocked and rooted. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Try upgrading to cm 7.2.0
APN settings
No idea if this will work for you but it did for me. I am on t-mobile(UK). Wifi and tethering were both working fine for me until I rooted my phone and installed a custom rom. After going through loads of different options, I noticed that the APN had somehow changed when I rooted. (Settings>Wireless&networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names)
For me the correct APN (general.t-mobile.co.uk) became general.t-mobile.uk after I rooted for no known reason. Adding the 'co' resolved the issue and everything started working again.
I would suggest searching the internet for your network's APN settings and having a look at the settings on your IS.
Good luck.
I tried both and none worked. Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas anyone?
Any one know if there is a new wifi software update? That or a hotspots update but I think they might be the same.
