WPA + AES

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.

TetherGPS for GTab

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!

Do you have mock locations enabled? It's under settings>applications>development>enable mock locations.

New version works on Vegan 5.1.1 for me.

what did you do to get it work I am running vegan rom 5.1? I have installed the new version and turned both the widgets on and properly tethered to my phone. Google maps still say unable to locate me? Yes I did allow for mock locations

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.

cannot get NC to connect to EVO 4g wirelessly

whether i am using the wireless hotspot that is on the phone or trying to tether it will not connect.
it goes as far as Obtaining IP Address from my phone via the tether. but it never goes further.
both devices are rooted...
anyone have any suggestions on how to get my nook color to connect to my phone...

Well I havent tried hotspot from my EVO yet, but I just tried tether from my phone to my nook and it worked. I am using tether version 3.1-pre108. I cant remember where I got this version from, but I think sprint is blocking tether apks from the market now, so I found it in a thread in the EVO section.
Here are my settings within wifi:
device profile auto
setup method auto
wifi encryption unchecked
change ssid AndroidTether
hide ssid unchecked
change channel 01
dont disable bluetooth unchecked
wifi driver reload checked
Nothing else is checked throughout settings except for disable wake-lock under miscellaneous, that is checked. I can also connect to my latop as well. I hope this helps.

i got it to work, but it looks like it only works when i have 4g. can i not connect to my phone via 3g?

Mine was connected 3g......I dont have 4g in my area.

cool, thanks. i think i figured it out.
appreciate it.

Tethering

Does the Android Wifi Tether App for root users work for Sprint Moto X? I have unlimited data. I want to tether IPad Air.

I was able to make tethering work on my rooted Sprint Moto X, but had to follow the following steps:
1. Change "Device-Profile" to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)"
2. Enable "WiFi-driver reload"
3. Enable "Keep Alive - Connection Checking"
4. Enable "Routing Fix"
On your iPad, look for the access point named "wlan0"
I was unable to get wireless encryption working. I also was unable to change the SSID. No matter what SSID I enter, the access point always broadcasts as "wlan0".
Tethering has been extremely unstable for me. Tethering stops if the screen turns off, and it is extremely slow compared to what my data speeds are when not tethering. Running a speed test from my phone without tethering I get 20Mbps down. I get 0.5Mbps running a speed test from my laptop while tethered.

For Verizon, I use the wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk and set...
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
and I can change the SSID and use WPA encryption. Its been stable. to.

WIFI Tether Router now works

I've used WIFI Tether Router for several phones with great success.
I know all about the adding of ,dun to apns
But if you already have root Wifi Tether Router does not need any mods. It might also works on CDMA (roaming), where the ,dun trick does not.
It also might be less traceable by sprint.

I'm rooted and this app didn't work for me. Is there anything special I have to do? My mobile is set to Global. Does it need to be CDMA/LTE?

I think these are the only changes needed from default. I so happen to use no encryption (i.e. Open) and channel = 1 which I think is default.
Interface wlan0
method 2
firmware reload unchecked
I think everything else is default.
If you scroll to bottom of Configuration there is a Link to "devices configurations/website"
I had the Native tether working too and I removed the ",dun" mod from my APN's to test this.
Mine shows Build 165
Does SuperUser pop up to grant permission?
It might not work on roaming (CDMA), same limitation as the Native mod (i.e. adding ,dun).

Who-Hoo Wifi Tether Router works on roaming (i.e. works on non Sprint CDMA Networks). The adding of ,dun to APN's method only works on Sprint Networks (i.e. LTE and eHPRD). WIFI Tether Router works on everything. But you do need root.
Tested on rooted ZV6.

can someone please explain how to add ,dun to apn? ive looked online and see lines of provisional code being added. this was on a tmobile nexus 6 and i wasnt sure if thats the way for all phone. thanks in advance!

There is a video specific to the Sprint phone, where the guy walks through the steps one by one showing each step and result to add the dun info, though I don't recall if it was specifically the apn info that was modified?
Anyway, you need an app that can create shortcuts for hidden features of the phone, as explained on the guide. Install that app, that allows you to run the program built into the phone that lets you edit the thing to add the dun text and save it.
Sorry I don't recall the details, but it's another thread here about free wifi tether or hotspot.

Which hotspot method, Native (with ,dun added to APN's) or WIFI Tether Router?
I saw similar issue when trying to tether on Ev-Do it will connect for a moment and disconnect.
The APN method will not work on Ev-Do (usually that means roaming but not always).
Latest WIFI Tether Router will work on Ev-Do but requires root.

For starters don't use Auto. See OP.

I am having an issue with wifi tether router where it will connect for a while and then the wifi signal will stop on its own. I have to kill and restart wifi tether router to regain a connection. I am wondering if this is a heating problem as the phone gets fairly hot when using wifi tether router. Is there a way to reduce the wifi radio power on the G4?

Uncheck "Allow Wifi Scanning" in advanced wifi settings. Should stop the signal from going away.

Good catch !! WIFI Tether Router does warn you to shut that off if I recall.

Yes

So just had something weird happen want to see if anyone else ran into this. I just reset for the month yesterday and My Metro app is showing 1.3 gigs used (all tethered with app). While playing Xbox I get a message saying I have used all of my hotspot data. I checked data usage on Xbox I haven't even used a gig yet. Also they didn't throttle my data. Anyone know what's going on?
