[Q] 4.2.2 tethering crashes windows 7 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Installed 4.2.2 yesterday and had to roll back to 4.1.2 (307) as Windows 7 crashed every time I tethered and tried connecting to the internet.
Anyone else had this problem, and has anyone got a solution to this as would prefer to install 4.2.2 again if a fix is available.
Searched this forum for a similar problem but not seen it mentioned anywhere.
Cheers guys

I'm having the same trouble and I can't seem to find much information about this. It's happening on Windows 7 64bit.

Hi etakarine, I'm on 64 bit also. Found this whilst looking into the problem, appears to be an Intel driver problem, though not tried it yet:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=43318
Leggy

no issues here, just tethered and did a speed test without any issues at all
windows 7 64bit

Same problem for me at work on a Win 7 Enterprise
No problem at home with a Win 7 Ultimate
It's definitively a driver/software part, also at work i have Kaspersky that know for causin problem with that.

Thanks for your responses guys!!
I don't use Kaspersky, though use Symantec Corporate antivirus.
I'm guessing it's the intel driver problem, which I'll install and update again over the weekend when I've more time, to see if that's the problem!!
Leggy

Just a quick update folks for anyone else with this problem. Installed the Intel wifi drivers from the link above earlier, updated back to 4.2.2 and fingers crossed, no crashes so far in the last 30 mins. Early days, but will test further over the weekend and report.
Looking good though as Win 7 crashed as soon as IE and Firefox were opened previously!!

AndChat (IRC) not connecting

Hello,
I've been having a problem with AndChat not connecting to IRC.
It will only connect over Wifi, not 3g/edge. I am on T-Mobile and Cyanogenmod latest. More detailed specs are in my sig.
I have tried wiping, reflashing the defanged base and reflashing Cyanogenmod, and reverting my hosts file from AdFree. But I still can't connect.
I have another backup phone that connects to IRC flawlessly with the same simcard, so I know it must be a problem with my phone.
Any ideas on what my problem might be and how I might fix it?
Did the connectivity tester apk I linked you to in the email help?
I downloaded and installed it, but it just sits there trying to connect as well.
I am trying to connect to irc.freenode.org:6667, but I have tried also irc.osx86.hu:6667 and it still does not connect.
It's like just my phone has this problem.
Edit: I tried again this afternoon, I could connect successfully with the tool to irc.freenode.net:6667 and to irc.osx86.hu:6667. But my AndChat still does not connect to either.
This is a pretty crazy problem. It affects more then 1 app with seemingly no cause or pattern. I'm baffled as to what could be causing it :|
Do you think it could be my radio or something?
A while ago I tried an add-on to increase edge and 3g speeds, too, but now it's integrated into CyanogenMod if I remember correctly. So that shouldn't be the cause. Plus, I've wiped and tried new installations of CM since then and still get the problem.
If it was the radio, I think there would be more issues in general. Have you tried different ports on freenode? They use ports 6665, 6666, 6667, 7000(SSL Only), 7070 (SSL Only), 8000, 8001 and 8002 according to their website.
For some reason it magically started working after I got out from work today and tried it. A fellow IRC user (who has also had the same connectivity issues) and I have both had problems but it started working randomly today. Maybe T-Mobile fixed something with the connections? I don't know.
Thank you so much for your help though, it wasn't a problem with your app but you were still very nice and willing to try and fix the problem!

Issue using Sixaxis controller app

Last night I updated to Euro v20a and sadly I am unable to make my sixaxis controller app to work on it, I am having following 2 issues:
1. "Sixaxis controller checker" giving error like - Could not start driver. Check that the driver has been given permission to run by the superuser app.
2. Also everytime after opening this app my bluetooth stops to work? I have tried to share file but it always fails then I have to restart the phone to share anything via bluetooth.
In v10e I had no problem with this app except that everytime after using it my Wifi gets closed then I had to restart phone but now after upgrade to 20a its not working at all.
My phone is rooted and all other app seems to work fine.
Anyone facing similar issue? Please share?

I understand that some ROMS do not include some of the bluetooth protocols that this app needs. Cyanogenmod does include these by default (and it seems the current LG ROMs do as well). A version of CM for our phone should be coming out soon after the update comes out, or perhaps LG has added this to the latest 20A version.
AW: Issue using Sixaxis controller app
You should always keep in mind that it's just a leak, nothing official and I just think most of the issues we have now will be gone at the official release...
And if not, some Custom ROM's like CM will solve this issue, as it's already said above this post...
...sent with my LG Optimus 4X HD...
Thanks guys!
I already rolled back to ICS, I know JB is still in testing phase and its far from perfect though interface seems so much better.
I was having 1 issue even in ICS that everytime after using Sixaxis controller app my "Wifi" stops to work and to get it back to work I had to restart my phone infact this issue was the reason I switched to JB where I was not even able to use it at all :crying:
Anyway I am back to ICS and I dont mind restarting the phone at least its working.

I have the same issue in ICS. At least Wifi continues to work while the app is still running!

Have emailed the issue to developer? After all we have paid for the app so we can request for fix also it will only help them to improve there app.
I have emailed but still no fix. Please email them.
I have USB/BT app but again there is no way to pair my BT PS3 controller without USB connection which is not possible in our device.
This worked for me!!
had the same problem... so i thought maybe with an earlier version it might work...
try with 0.5.7 that's the one that worked for me!!
Do you think there will be a new version which fix 20A compatibility ?

new versions came out a few days ago 0.6.3 and 0.6.4 supposed to resolve some compatibility issues. I already tried them both but still the same problem so i'm still using 0.5.7 in V20a.
not working for me either

i have tried your suggestion of installing an older version, starting with 0.5.7 as stated, and after having no luck any older version i could find/download.
this app is still not working on my 4x V20a hopefully they will hear our pleas (i have also contacted them to let them know of the compatibility issue) and update the app with compatibility. but if someone manages to sort this out before they do... PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
strange thing is that the compatibility checker still works for me (registering my button presses after connecting, etc...)
fingers crossed + thanx in advance for any help.

I just upgraded to v20b Europe Open, and it broke SixAxis.
I'd love to be able to use SixAxis 0.5.7, but don't have a backup of it. I am a legitimate user of the app - I bought it full price from the Play Store. Any advice on where I can get a legit copy of 0.5.7 from?

lollipop update - issues

Hi
I have a question about lollipop update. Since i updated my phone im experiencing wifi issues because connection drops a lot. Especially while using tethering and sharing connection with laptop. Anyone has issues too? What can i do? I know some people suggested changing frequency but i cant no longer find those advanced wifi settings.
Update: So it seems that issue with wifi was mostly connected to tethering. I tried to figure out what's the problem but no idea..... Finally I tried to install Pda app and now it's running quite well and with reasonable speed again. Two things are still bothering me though. When I connected usb in the past I got a choice to connect phone to laptop either to import/export medias, tether or whatever else.... Now it doesn't give me this option and I didn't find it anywhere. So how do I connect phone to laptop so I can copy pictures, music etc? Also alarm seems to be off when I have 'silent' profile active. It used to wake me up just normally even with silent profile but now it says I have to set priority to alarm clock but I have no idea how.

So many quentions, so little time to answer them all...
Back from trying to be funny. Yes, LP in 5.0.2 has problems with memory (although I didn't know it still occured on stock since nobody else had reported it).
You won't solve this by unistalling apps. Those heavier ones will cause some problems in usage. You can go back to KK by flashing kdz file (a guide for it is to be found in general section) or wait for another update

LP does not have problems with memory is the ART runtime that is making the apps big
I solved the problem
I installed the app Fix lollipop memory leak and it fixed the problem
So no one knows about connecting via usb menu? In KitKat it always popped up automatically but I could also find it in the menu and choose to connect USB for media transfer (MTP mode) or tethering or whatever else. Now not only these options don't pop up automatically but I can't find it in settings. Anyone knows where can I find it?

WIFI not working on HTC one

Hi Folks iv spent a lot of time on different forums trying to find a solution to this problem but i am not getting a definitive answer.
The problem i have is that my WIFI is stuck in the turning on phase. it just keeps flashing without turning on. IT does not even manage to find a network. I am currently on 4.3.3 kitkat and my service provider is meteor Ireland.
Iv tried every suggestion on the internet but nothing seems to work for me. Im wondering is it a hardware issue or do you think i could get around this by rooting the phone and installing a custom ROM.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Anyone have Android Auto working with OP3(T)Hoping you folks can help me out. I just?

Hoping you folks can help me out. I just got a shiny new OnePlus 3T for Christmas and tried it with my 2015 VM Polo for Android Auto. Sadly it's just not wanting to work.
When I try to plug the phone in the VM display shows "ERROR: USB Device is not supported". I've tried numerous things such as different cables, changing the USB connection on the phone (MTP does show a new message on the VW display - "Error: USB") but nothing is working It works fine with my older Xperia Z3 no problem still.
Been sleuthing a bit and found a thread over on the official forums (titled "Android Auto OP3T", can't link it) where people seem to be finding the same issues. I'm on stock Oxygen 3.5.4.
Hoping to get this sorted as the phone is awesome in all other aspects!
Has anyone else seen this problem or got it working on the 3T at all?
Cheers!
Edit - Doh, if someone could clean up the title for me that'd be great. Sorry about that.
