I have tried several different 2.2 builds on my (AT&T) HTC Pure. Most of what is supposed to work does, and it's fun to play with. However, what's really holding me back is an inability to download anything from the Android Maket. I can sign-in and browse just fine, but when I "Install" something and go to the downloads tab, all I find are apps that say "Starting Download" with a perpetually cycling progress bar. I've let it run for 15 minutes and never got anything to actually download. I do not have a data-plan, so I use wifi. I have verified that wifi works.
I have also noticed that I cannot sign into gTalk. I've seen several posts suggesting that once you sign into gTalk, that I'd be able to download apps (and vice-versa), but so far, neither of these applications/features is working for me.
The latest install I've tried is XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.09.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE.7z and it still has this problem.
Has anybody else gotten around this problem and have some advice???
I tried using my phone to create a new google account, and that worked, but I still couldn't download.
Happened to me as well. I just forgot about it, and after a while I got an alert that one of the apps is now installed (and indeed working). The other apps on the list hanged as well, and took a lot of time to start downloading.
Seems like a nasty bug to me.
it's a small comfort to know I'm not alone, but I still haven't seen anything download successfully, and as long as I can't install new apps (from the market), there's really no point in using [XD]Android.
Try settings/applications/manage applications/market 'all tab' and force stop. Clear cache. Clear data. So next time you use market it is like new and downloads and installs without hanging etc. Your downloads tab should still have a record of apps you downloaded.

thanks anunna, but that didn't work. I tried downloading the apks for App Brain and the associated "Fast Web Installer" and copying to my device (storage card), but that doesn't seem to work any better. I guess those apps still depend on Android Market to download.
aarrrrrghh. so frustrating... I have now installed Rhod.2.2BLAZN.092610 with the new builds from 9/25 (hw 3d included), and still have this problem. Does anybody have any ideas?? I dont' see how this could be device-specific. ?? I've tried different gmail accounts, different builds, and different wifi networks. The only thing I haven't tried (and can't really) is accessing market over 3G. I say "can't" because I actually have a data-block on my phone to prevent unintentional use and associated charges.
Does anybody have any advice for troubleshooting ?
thanks.
BTW, this is what worries me about WP7: one source for all your apps = single point of failure.
I'll just keep updating my own thread here...
Installed the latest build from 9/28, and nothing's changed.
This time, I went straight into Google Talk and got stuck on the "signing in" screen. Eventually it came back with a message stating, "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." This is bogus though, since I can do nearly everything else on the internet, via my wifi connection.
I have the same problem. Android Market doesn't download any software, "Starting Download..." stage never ends...
ashway, have you tried opening Google Talk? Also, do you have a data plan on your phone (3G)?

I haven't try Google Talk yet, will try later. I do have a data plan, do you mean that Market works via 3G and doesn't through WiFi?
I have a data-block on my phone (so I don't accidentally rack up per Kb charges), so I access everything via WiFi. I've seen people suggesting that toggling between wifi or cellular can get it to work, but that's not an option fo me.

BOO! so, I'm out of luck??
(thanks for your update though)
Has anybody been able to download from A.M. over WiFi without ever using 3g?
It just happened to me while i'm updating a few apps. I did some research and found an article and follow that way. what you need to do is to un-install the app that you're updating. after that, forced close the Market app and clear the cache. then try again to install it from market. well, it works for me.
by the way, there's also another bug that make Market FC every time when u download an app. if it happen to you, just open Setting>Applications>Manage Application> Market and click "Uninstall Updates".
I am in Malaysia and I have this problem too. It is either "Starting Download...", "Download Unsuccessful" or "Download Paused" message.
I'd tried both 3G (3 different telcos; Vodafone while in NZ, Optus while in AU and Maxis in MY)and WiFi (different AP; at least 10). While connected, I can do everything except for download apps from Market. Also tried signing in different Gmail account.
Being desperate, I tried to install Apps via "adb install" command. Guess what, I couldn't uninstall my apps (both using "adb uninstall" and "Settings > Application > AppName > Uninstall"). It force close everytime I tried.
I got OTA updates for FRG83 twice hoping it will fix my Market problem, but it did not install because it can't. When I tried sdcard:update.zip, I got status 7 error. Some livewallpaperspicker.odex error. Tried searching for the odex but couldn't find one specifically for Nexus One.
Also tried rooting my phone and install ROM Manager. Performed a Fix Permission issue (which it claims often fix Force Close message; one friend recommended this too) and all I got is "An error occurred while attempting to run privellege...". I am sure it is rooted with Superuser Permissions showing "Allow" status. To confirm, I had Move2SD installed and able to port most apps to SD without the developer setting the option.
Just want to share this with all of you that have this problem. Is there anyone can help? The only thing that makes me keep this phone is because its a gift from my wife. Or else I would just get something else.
guys I have the same problem as you do! something I noticed though is that the phone doesnot recognise my SD card and market is downloading the apps on the card . can you pls check your sd card if they are mounted and recognized propperly!
restarting the phone and letting the card mount propperly fixed the adnroid market download freeze issue

brafun, are you using XDAndroid on a TD2/Pure? Were you experiencing problems only when using wifi? do you have a cellular data plan/connection? Does wifi download work now? I'm a bit confused, since XDAndroid is installed on my SD, I don't see how you can have Android running without recognizing it.
thanks

Your guess is as good as mine but the fact is that when I was trying to download an app the behaviour was exactly the same as you described it! It said Starting Download and froze at that point. Cleaning the Cache of market didnt help at all. THen I just started looking for reasons why is this happening, and in "SD card and phone storage" I saw that the SD card was marked as not mounted... check yours and see what it says
Ok,
So, I, along with a few others, pay for the Unlimited Mobile HotSpot and want this app to work as other (root) tethering apps only allow Ad-Hoc.
Here's what I did to get it to work on my Windows 7 x64 Computer as of just a few moments ago and I do plan to work on this issue to get this figured out.
I've discovered that the /data/misc/dhcp/udhcpd.conf file is what controls the DHCP addressing for the 4gMobileHotSpot App. Within this app, I discovered (in the Modded ROM (as of now, I have Gingervolt1.1)), that the "Option DNS" addresses were completely wrong. This was apparent from the get go as they were internal IP address starting with 192.168.x.x.
The steps to get this app working on Windows is:
0 - Be Rooted (Sorry, just had to point the obvious out in Step 0)
1 - Use the market and download/install the Text Edit (Paul Mach) App
2 - (TESTed and Working), Use AntTek (root) Explorer and navigate to:
/data/misc
3 - Long Press the udhcpd.conf file and select to open with the Text Edit App
4 - Change the 'option dns' from 192.168.x.x to 66.174.92.14 69.78.96.14 and save/exit
5* - In Windows, set the IPV4 Properties to:
Use Following Address:
IP Address: 192.168.1.5 (or anything in between start and end range in text file)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Use Following DNS server addresses:
Preferred DNS Server: 66.174.92.14
Alternate DNS Server: 69.78.96.14
6 - Start 4gHotSpot App
7 - Tell Windows to Connect and you should be connected.
NOTE: It is late and I know that this will become clearer as time goes on and since I have to work in the morning, this is the best I came up with in a few minutes after figuring out that the hang up was with this file, in which I knew it's been a DHCP issue all along. Why this file is changed with the Modded ROMs is beyond me and I doubt MT changed this, so likely it is something to do with the DE-odex or some other modification of this app and it's initialization. Just deleting the CONFIG file will only cause it to write a new one with the wrong values again.
For those who do use this app, it is known to stop responding at times and I am going to look into that. I'm thinking this is a DNS issue and will try some other DNS Servers (8.8.8.8 I believe is a Google public DNS)..
In the meantime, this is a start for anyone to add to this that has more DHCP/DNS/Network experience. I don't have another android device handy to test the connectivity, so will have to get that figured out.
Key point here is, is that the 4gHotSpot App gets corrupted with the Custom ROMs and for some reason sets up wrong DNS servers in the Config file.
Hope to see some thoughts, additions, fixes, to this problem with this being pointed out, from others. I will continue to work on it throughout this next week after work.
Last Note: The DNS server numbers came from the original Config prior to rooting/modding. Also, I do know that is it redundant to have them in the config file AND the Windows Properties. It's just that setting Windows to 192.168.1.1 (option router in the Config file) didn't work. Again, will work on cleaning this method up and simplifying.

Thought I would give this a try today after re-rooting. I had no luck getting connected with the 4g hotspot app.
On my phone the file was in /data/misc/dhcp/ and the values were already correct in the file.
I tried changing the dns to a public one and back - neither worked.
I tried moving the file to /data/misc and it didn't work.
My ipad seems to connect ok but hangs trying to lease an ip address. Reloaded v6 tot and upgraded to non-rooted gingerbread and the app works again.
Is it possible you changed something else?
I'm glad it's working for you. Wish I could get it working as this is the only thing keeping me stuck on a non-rooted phone.

Ok, so here's what I did after reading your post:
1 - Corrected the path (Sorry, it was late and I missed that /dhcp portion of the path).
2 - Deleted "option router 192.168.1.1" from udhcpd.conf file
3 - Deleted "option dns x.x.x.x x.x.x.x" from udhcpd.conf file
Set Windows up with the Following:
Static IP : 192.168.1.2
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers : 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
That worked.
So, what I am seeing if I try to use DHCP on Windows is that the 4gHotSpot gives the computer 192.168.16.x addressing even though the config file is set to give out 192.168.1.x addresses (x=2 through 254). It also gives Windows 3 DNS servers that are local IP addresses and will never go anywhere.
What to do now? Figure out what is being changed with the Custom ROMs that is causing the app to act like that. In fact, it will act like that when I restore back to Stock GB Rooted via restore from backup in CWM, but I have yet to test deleting the config file and restarting 4gHotSpot to test. I will do that over the weekend as I don't have a lot of time I can have my phone down during week. But I do plan to up to the GingerVolt1.3 tonight.
As of right now, I am using my windows machine connected to the 4gHotSpot App to write this post. Also, I don't know about the iPhone/iPad and possible settings. If you can Force (Set a Static IP) then follow what I did up above, but you will also need to set the DNS servers and not sure you can do that on an Iphone/iPad.
The DNS Servers I listed are found on a public list and are also said to be Verizon DNS servers...
The other problem I found and is an issue with the app, is using auto b/g/n will cause the hotspot to lose connectivity. When in that mode, I connect at 65Mbps, but it drops down to 6Mbps and stalls and fluctuates. I set it to 'g' only and get a SOLID 54Mbps connection just like the tether apps.
SPEED TEST Results: 18.35 Mbps Down, 10.66 Mbps Up without a glitch.
Obviously this app works with DHCP addressing as STOCK. So, I will begin my Android Development with figuring out one of two things. Either get this app to work as it's supposed to, or create a root app with 'Infrastructure' based on whatever I can find in the coding for this app if I can figure out a way to decode it.
I personally hate the idea that you can't connect other android devices to AdHoc and also annoys me to have to manually connect Windows since it doesn't seem to have the ability to automatically connect to AdHoc Networks. Linux does perfectly fine with auto connect AdHoc, go figure. Android is Linux Based, yet can't AdHoc, but provides an AdHoc as an access point for other devices. weird, lol.
Let me know if any of this helps, but do know I am going to continue to figure this out. I'm sure de-odexing the app had something to do with it as I'm sure Verizon did their best to keep this app from being hacked for free HotSpot service.
-Cybie
Thanks for the detailed response.
I'm going to try again. I won't be able to try until tonight or tomorrow morning when I have time to play with it and roll back if necessary.
I'll let you know if it works or I find out anything else.
Before you install a ROM and have the app working, try connecting your computer and get the values (ip, dns, gateway, etc.) That the app dhcp assigns and post that. Rooting the phone alone shouldn't break the app either. By getting those values posted, would help and also save me from downgrading just for that purpose. Knowing that it works with without a mod is one thing,. So my focus is working on getting it to function with a modded ROM.
It's strange that i can get the app to work if i force the connecting device to values (static settings), but this doesn't help with certain devices and needs to connect via dhcp.

These number are from your connected device? What device are you connecting that give you such numbers? I'm not familiar with the iPad and how it displays connection details. Is that what that is from?
I'm still able to connect after updating to GingerVolt1.2 and manually installed 4gHotSpot app. I just got home with little time to work on this project for the night, so I will update what I can if any changes in getting things to work.
-Cybie
those numbers were from an ipad connected via dhcp.
I'll see if I can use a laptop at work today to see the values I get connecting from a laptop. Should be the same I would imagine.
I will retry rooting the stock rom tonight and see what happens.

Sounds good. Those numbers will help.
I will add, though, that someone posted a way to get the wifi tether to work with the Revolution, here in the forum. The problem, though, is that it's connection via 'n' mode, which would be great, except it drops out. If you try to download something that's fast (or going to speedtest sites), you will find that that happens and what everyone is complaining about the HotSpot app not working. All that needs to be done is changing it to 'g' only mode and a solid connection.
Anyhow, I will see if I can figure out how to get that app working on 'g' only mode also, and if I do, then I will just use that app instead. Otherwise, I plan to continue to figure out the 4gHotSpot App
-Cybie
Cybie,
Glad to see someone's tackling this...I don't suppose your work here could be applied in a way that would make this app work for those who don't pay for the mobile hotspot?
I am waiting on a replacement Revo to arrive in the mail, should be here tomorrow or Saturday. Any values I can pull that might be of use to you before I get happy with flashing roms, rooting, etc?
I find that the OpenDNS nameservers tend to work pretty well everywhere I use them, if you wanted to give them a try:
Primary: 208.67.222.222
Secondary: 208.67.220.220

Sorry for the delay. Been working extra hours at work and haven't had the energy to do much with this past couple days.
Anyhow, no, I don't intend to try to get it working for those who do not pay. Why? There are apps out there for this and the only reason I was trying to get this to work properly was for the fact that it would be nice to have the proper connection for those who do pay. I say that because the HotSpot app actually has a faster wifi connection (using n mode) than the tether (root) apps out there, with the exception of the one posted at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339150
Unfortunately I am having the same issue with the HotSpot and that app (using infrastructure mode) when connecting. They both to link up at 65Mbps. In fact, I got 72Mbps with the wifi Tether app from the link, but like the HotSpot app, I have issues with the connection dropping out using 'n' mode.
The HotSpot app will allow you to set it to 'g' only mode, though only get a 54Mbps link speed, but sustains a solid connection with no drop outs. Others say they don't have that issue, so it may just be my wifi adapter??? I am going to test it on my laptop, but if I remember, I did have that same issue with the laptop, so maybe it's just my phone??
Either way, I am going to be doing what I can to get 4gHotSpot to work correctly with rooted/modded ROMs. Strange thing is, rooted, it still works fine. After installed modded ROM, it fails to work. And if I restore back to factory rooted via CWM, it still doesn't work. You actually have to restored/flash back to total stock. After that, you can root with it working, but not after installing a ROM.
-Cybie
Any luck with the fix?
OK, so I read that your hotspot worked fine after rooting, but stopped with the ROM was changed.
I rooted my phone yesterday, using the one button method. I have not modified the phone beyond this change. As far as I can tell the only functionality problem I have is with the hotspot.
The tether method continues to work (as I am using it right now). The hotspot does make a wifi connection to my devices but there never is any received data from the network.
Please help, any ideas on what I should look at or change?
Thanks ahead of time.

I've noticed something very strange with the HotSpot and Rooting.
If you root, the HotSpot continues to work. But, if you reboot after rooting, that's when the failures begin. So, I am thinking that the files are being overwritten. I've been able to test with clean root, root with tether app, and restore without root.
Without root, the HotSpot continues to work fine as I have been using it for the past two weeks as I need it for my new WiFi Tablet. There is the WiFi app the allows for Infrastructure, but that also allows devices to connect via N-Mode, where I have issues of the data dropping out. Forcing b/g only on my HotSpot app, I have very reliable service.
I am planning (after my trip) to root my phone, copy some DHCP files before ANYthing can be changed and before rebooting. Comparing these files and seeing if anything changes there. If so, that will allow me to create a simple app to restore these files back to stock, either automatically, or through 'starting' of the app.
I haven't forgotten about this issue and It's something that I am needing to figure out. The problem is time right now. For the past few months, I had to work a job in order to keep bills paid. That job took a lot of my hours I used to have to figure things out. I am going to be having limited time available, but do plan to work on it some more in the next few weeks, especially since i want my Tablet to work flawlessly with my phone, as that is my ONLY source of internet and I DO pay for the HotSpot service.
-Cybie
Thanks for the update.
Like you I also pay for the 4g hotspot. I jumped on it when they offered the unlimited for $30.
Now that I've tried the gingervolt rom and the supercharger script I don't think I can go back. It just feels like a totally different phone.
I haven't had as much need for it recently so I haven't tried one of the other tethering apps.
Thanks for plugging along on this.
Yes, thanks for looking at this.
Here is some more observations:
Using your set ip and other setting I can get the hotspot to work. Two of my devices are not able to set a fix address without rooting them. So they do connect but only my PC will download a web page.
Here is the address my Revo is setting on the other two devices: 192.168.16.30 and .31.
Ok, so here's an update to this issue.
I have tracked the problem down to a failure to write to the udhcpd.leases file within the /data/misc/dhcp folder.
So, I did some searches on the net about a few things, but there's not much information regarding the "paid" HotSpot feature vs the (Root) Tether Apps.
What I did comes across, though, is there seems to be some sort of issue with certain versions of busybox relating to the udhcpd.conf. I also found the file that gives the 192.168.16.x addresses. But, by the time I found it, the phone already goofed up the HotSpot app settings and things weren't working. So, next round of factory restoring via LGNPST/Tot, I will seek into that and see what I can find out.
It's weird that the 4g HotSpot app will work flawlessly on the initial boot (Rooted, ROM'd, and even OC'd). But, after a reboot of the phone (once or twice), it becomes corrupted and non-working. It's going to be related to some sort of permissions issue and some file that is able to be corrupted/changed with the root/superuser access. I had similar results with fresh restore and JUST root, so the ROM's have nothing to do with it as far as I am concerned at this point.
In case you might ask. I Refreshed phone to total stock, rooted, and then, all at one shot, installed Gingervolt 1.3, OC, and Hotspot before rooting phone. HotSpot worked fine until the next reboot, where it did work for a few minutes then Kaboom! Nodda.
If someone can access (pull) the /system/var/lib/misc/udhcpd.leases file from a fresh stock phone, or even first-time booted, rooted phone, I would appreciate that as this file may be something in question, but my file was already changed by the time I found it.
-Cybie
I love to help but mine isn't working either. Can you get me started on returning the phone back to stock? I did install a backup util, and ran it first thing after rooting. But I am guessing that wasn't soon enough.
I will take a look at the file I have, I will try the two viewers I have, not sure if they will work.
I did run a restore, and the hotspot did work afterwards. My signal is very weak -110 dBm right now so if you can tell me how to copy/view the file I can get it for you (I did check my tools and could find the file but could not view it, I tried to email it to myself but the encoder couldn't handle it).
By the way, are you aware of a bug in the hotspot, tethering. When you turn off the hot spot and start tethering the hotspot comes back on and tethering will not start. It take a phone power turn to fix it.

EDIT: When you copy these files, Don't view them until you zip up a copy first. They could potentially get corrupted. not likely, but with the way it's going with this 'project', who knows.
adb pull /data/misc/dhcp datadhcp (This will copy files from phone to a created directory called datadhcp)
Also, and more importantly, this is what I am really wanting:
adb pull /system/var/lib/misc varmisc (copies to created varmisc folder)
AND
adb pull system/etc/dhcpcd dhcpcd (copied to dhcpcd folder)
The created folders and files will be in the same 'dos' directory you have adb in. You can use the folder in which the all in one root is from MT if you are wondering where to get that by any chance.
Those would be a big help in getting thing figured out. At least, if those are the culprits.
NOTE: In order to have non-corrupted files, these have to be pulled from a fresh restore via LGNPST / Tot method. A restore via nandroid backup will not work. those files, once corrupted, seem to remain so, even after a restore for some odd reason, unless you were lucky enough to not have them corrupted prior to backing up, which would likely mean you rooted, rebooted into recovery and backed up before rebooting into your phone.
By the way, are you aware of a bug in the hotspot, tethering. When you turn off the hot spot and start tethering the hotspot comes back on and tethering will not start. It take a phone power turn to fix it.

Please clarify on this. Are you referring to starting the 4gHotSpot, shutting it down, and then starting a (root) Tether App??? If so, I haven't really had that issue because once I have to use the root apps to tether with, that usually means my HotSpot won't work at that point. I will say, however, I have had an issue where the HotSpot didn't want to shut down. I just go into Services/App Management and force a shutdown instead of a reboot. A bit quicker....

I will take a run at copying this stuff later today.
On the hotspot bug. Even before rooting, or upgrading to GB there was this bug, and it is still there after GB.
Once the hotspot has been started and then the user shuts it down it appears to shut down. Then the tethering (the application that came with the phone) is initiated it looks like it is tethering but the hotspot icon comes on after the phone has finished tethering and indeed it is running that way too.
I tried this five time last night: Restored the hotspot both application and data (titanium app), installation part of the application would fail but T said it was complete. Launched the application and two of the five times the PC had the correct IP address, the other three times it had the corrupted ones. Also when the PC did come up correctly the second device's IP address was corrupted. So I may need to fiddle a bit to fine the uncorrupted files after restore.
Perhaps someone else could help with copies the files too?
I can only download over WiFi network on data I can use web pages and apps fine but it won't download from play store at all
Try to clear data of the store

Need a little more information than what you've given, is there an error? If so then what error is it?
Make sure that Sync is switched on on the phone, nothing like email or the play store will work with sync turned off, if it was off then try again and if it works then your done, if not, read below.
Like the previous user has said, clear data and cache from play services and play store, then reboot your phone and open the play store and allow it to completely load, then attempt a download again.
Is it giving a specific error when downloading? Most errors can be fixed by removing the google account and re-adding it to the phone, reboot between removal and re-entering.
Sorry if I was not clear, I cannot download at all from anywhere on a data connection but I can over Wi-Fi. There seems to be a problem with the stock Sony down load manager, as when I use an external download manager app it works fine, but play store only uses the stock manager AFAIK
It says downloading but no data is getting sent or received

I've had this problem the other way around: wifi did not download for a few minutes, then it starts... For me disabling ipv6 on the router helped. So it seems that the z1 has difficulties with ipv6. Maybe your data connection is also a mixed stack!
Offtopic: I'm experiencing lots of bugs in the stock ROM. That, and the fact that the quality of the parts (i.e. screen, camera, speaker, wifi) is really bad, makes me want to throw out this phone. Never again a Sony for me!
Allright so om back. I just did a factory reset and my problems are back. Wifi hasnt been changed, so there's something else going on. Play store is extremely slow, even downloading just the pictures and downloading will only start after a minuten, bureau then it is reasonably fast... Anybody a solution?

New network provider. Do you have similar problems browsing the web from the phone, no wifi? does the same problem exist trying to access playstore with the phone browser? If you install an app from playstore on say your computer, does the app get installed onto your device when not connected to WIFI?
There is also an option to only update when connected to WIFI, go into my apps, then settings check that as well if you want updates to appear any time.

Which browser? It is not the download manager, because it would not work at all if that was the problem, and you have advised that it works on wifi.
Seems to me like you have restrictions by your cell provider, bad APN settings or similar. I would suggest going to your cell provider to determine what is going on.

Seems that if nothing works from your data connection then you seem to have isolated your problem, try your sim in another handset and see if the problem persists for clarification.
If it doesn't then explore more avenues, like double checking that everything is set up from a network level by contacting your provider.
If you're rooted then install the rom again, don't do a dirty flash, perform a full wipe.
But check the sim in another handset first and check the network too before doing that.
EDIT: Just noticed what dan wrote ditto.

Try someone elses router, chances are if data is working and your wifi isn't then it's probably isolated to the router.
Turn off 5ghz if it's on on your router and turn the channel to auto, toggle pnp and the firewall.
Ok a little update, I had tried the sim in a note 2 and all downloads worked nice and fast
The problem on my z1 was on all downloads from playstore, stock browser, chrome, XDA, anything that involved the stock download manager, but all apps, uploads, anything that doesnt need download manager, whatsapp and facebook downloads, worked fine
I'm now back in the UK and its all working fine with my UK Sim so it seems the z1 download manager does not allow roaming outside the UK.

No it is called a setting in the phone, do not use data while roaming, if you had have been more specific you would have had your answer straight away

Searched around the forums and couldnt seem to find an answer or it turns into a foxfi/pda+ help thread. Wondering if anyone knows how to or point me in the right direction.
So I have a XT1060 (VZW DevEd) Rooted running Stock 4.4.2
My question is. Is there any way to activate Wifi tether without a custom kernal or rom?
Tried Wifi Tether 3.4 Experimental APK (some people have claimed around the net that it works) but nothing happens or atleast it seems like nothing happens since my laptop cannot find the wifi. (maybe someone here knows how?)
Even tried turning on Tether Freedom through XYZ Toolbox (supposed to remove tether restrictions) and starting Wifi Tether, same thing.
Dont want to use native app with XYZ, when i tried it My Verizon Mobile asked for SU access and i denied it, kinds weird, dont want that to pop up again.
Also have read that X Tether Module works, but it replaces entitlements, will they go back to normal when i stop the module or does it change it for good? And will Verizon ask for SU access?
also dont mind spending a dollar or 2 if one works from the Play store.
Thanks in advance. Hopefully this will help others with this question as well.
The my Verizon app does ask for root just deny it access..this happened with the last update to the app
X tether module will need xposed framework and as far as I know it only makes the hooks when called for

Thank you. You are correct. :highfive:
Went back to XYZ, Turned on Tether Freedom, Retried turning on Wifi Tether thru native and worked like a charm. No permission request to access SU from Verizon anymore. So just need to deny it the first time.
To tether on my rooted VZW Dev X I do the following...
Use the wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
If you have troubles, its also suggested to...
check box: wifi-driver reload 2
Doing this, I can set the SSID and WPA key. And it doesn't touch any system files or anything, so it is one less thing to get in the way of taking future OTA updates.
Or Try this way -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/native-tether-vzw-4-4-t2536166
Or some use the Xposed module.
I have been trying to download xposed modules (and even the latest xposed framework) all day. Each time it just sits there "Download waiting...." forever till it fails. I just tried to download one of the module apk files via my desktop browser, and it is sitting there for about 4 minutes not "connecting".
So far I do not see anyone else complaining about this so I do not know what is up.
Darkrift,
I think we were typing our posts about the same time-)) I too have experienced this issue. I've been unsuccessful at downloading any updates today. It does seem the download links are dead like the storage locations are not responding.
Works fine here.

Its one of like 7-10 modules I have tried to dl today and they do not work. I have tried them via the app and from the website. Both fail to download (the website gives "Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" after a minute or two).

I can download that just fine. Are you sure you're not behind a firewall that's blocking connections to xposed (an aggressive/stupid firewall to block adult content comes to mind, because "xposed")?

Yeah, its not working on my desktop (cox home internet) or via my tmobile connection. Seems that it might be regional. Where are you located (in general) if you dont mind me asking?
Actually nevermind. It must be box. My wifi did not turn off properly. I just tried again via my phone connection and it is working. I wonder if its a dns issue or if cox is blocking it.

Lebanon (you can see it in my profile).
I guess you could try a proxy and see if that works.

Try turning off wifi and using your phones connection. Also, please reply with your general location and your ISP so I can try to determine if its dns or location based.

I'm using Cox as well in Norfolk, VA.
When I switch to mobile data network on AT&T it downloads just fine. This is ridiculous, I've never had restrictions on this ISP before. I'm about to call cox right now. I don't pay $55 a month for some fascist ISP to tell me what I can and can't connect to, especially when it's not even a site that is not breaking any copyright laws, this isn't China.

I have, for years. They block high profile irc networks dns by redireting it to their own server (which then auto joins your user to a channel and tries to run a lot of botnet commands to uninstall a botnet client in the event you are compromised). I used to have to deal with this a lot years ago when I was on irc frequently. They will deny it, but they have been doing stuff like that for years.
Then again, it could be some sort of dns issue that will work itself out.

I'm having the same issue here in South East US. To make a long story short, I couldn't download any modules so I thought maybe to uninstall my Xposed app and reinstall. Now I can't even install the Xposed Framework. Like you said, it just times out. I just rooted a new phone and I desperately need my Xposed! I have the APK saved to my device and can reinstall from their however this doesn't help because I still can't install modules through the framework. Any suggestions???
Same here

I've tried both wifi and through carrier data and absolutely nothing will download from Xposed. Never had this problem before. Where's all the support from XDA??? Haven't seen much support on this issue.

I'm not sure what support you think anyone can provide. The repo works fine for most people, indicating that there's nothing wrong with it and the problem is almost certainly something at your end.

It just strange that this is happening and I'm reading reports where people other than me seem to be having the same issue. I guess I was hoping for some direction or trouble shooting suggestions from XDA forums as I honestly wouldn't know of a better place to search for assistance. Is there any suggestions that might help me back track the issue. I've honestly tried everything I know. I purposely side loaded two third party apps and those installed flawlessly. It's only the xposed framework application and it's modules I'm having trouble with... timing out and not installing. The modules I have pre existing on my SD installed fine, it's only when trying trying to download from within the Xposed framework that doesn't install. I show an update available for one of my existing modules and it won't even update.... same thing, it just times out. Again, any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
This seems to be a network related issue, rather than a problem with the repo. I have updated several modules over a couple of days with no issues and this problem only seems to be affecting a small amount of people.
Are you using the same internet provider as others in the thread? I can only think they blocked it as GermainZ said earlier. Perhaps a visit to the support forum of your provider might help, even to check if anyone else reported this issue.
