I'm starting this thread to see if anyone else has suddenly found themselves without the ability to use Wireless Tether for Root Users. I've used several ROMs, several kernels and several versions of WTfRU. I've been able to tether for since the day I rooted my phone. I don't use it that often and never have gone over the 5G cap that Sprint puts on our "unlimited" data service. I've wiped and flashed countless times since finding myself unable to tether. It's been a frustrating ride and I was wondering if I was alone.
ROMs I've used:
DamageControl 2.08.1
DamageControl 2.09.1
Darchdroid 2.7
Froyo AOSP 2.2
Cyanogenmod 2.2
Kernels I've used:
The stock kernels with the above ROMs.
Darch's 710 and 768 OC'd kernels.
WTfRU versions I've used:
1.06
2.02
2.05
I can't pinpoint the day that it stopped working for me. All I know is that one day I needed it and it wasn't working anymore. I can see the SSID of the network, but when I connect to it it just spins and times out. I've turned off the encryption. I've turned off the access control. I've even tried leaving my phone and WTfRU on stock settings, not even changing the SSID. I've tried everything I know how to do and I simply can't get this working again.
My phone will connect to other wireless networks and I can surf/chat/etc. My phone uses the 3G connection to do the same things just fine. My computer will connect to the same wireless networks my phone will and I can surf/chat/etc.
I can't imagine that Sprint would be able to block my computer from even connecting to my phone as a wireless hot spot. I could understand if they found a way to block the data traffic knowing that someone was rooted and using their phone as a hot spot, but not connecting to the hot spot itself.
I'm just hoping I didn't burn something up...
mine still working...........maybe it's your phone...

That's what I'm afraid of. I don't want to replace it, though. Last time I did that, they made me wait another year to upgrade. My upgrade is in October and I want to get an Evo... or whatever the next big thing that Sprint announces is. I was going to give this phone to my girlfriend so she could get rid of her f**king Palm Pre. On top of that, I can't just walk in and say, "Hey, my rooted phone that I'm using to wireless tether my computer to your network won't allow me to do this anymore. Could you replace it for me?"
ha!
I sold my Evo on Ebay for about $750 dollars..The Hero does almost everything the Evo does....except that we don't have two cams and a killer processor..
which ROM are you using tho?
Right now I'm using the Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Test 4 that Darch has been working on with other people... and I'm not sure whom. I just got excited for Froyo and uploaded it. Anyway, that's the one I'm using now. I've also, just today while fighting this issue, tried DamageControl 2.08.1 and 2.09.1. I went back to Cyanogenmod, though, because I'm digging it.
I know this won't be much help, but... I'm not sure what I did but it's working now. Yes, I know... big help.
In the past 48 hours I've done everything I listed above. I also updated my PRL. I wiped data and Dalvik many times. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I even turned it on and off again like Roy told me to. I also shook a voodoo doll at it and cursed at it in every language I know. I'm not sure which one did it, but it's working now.
Try PDANet Free from the market, and dont use the tether or share internet option, just hook it up as a disk drive and launch PDANet on your comp and on your phone. works flawlessly for me.
easytether is much cheaper if you go that route.
I had this problem as well, it depends on what version you are using. the one in the market no longer works for heros, you have to go to the wifi tether website and download 1.6, the latest version that works with the hero.
There is no 5GB cap on the unlimited data plan.

I actually have a similar problem that may end up being related somehow: I am able to start the Wireless Tether, haven't yet tested the connectivity with another device, but the phone locks up when trying to stop the tethering. I have tested with several ROMS and with each and every ROM I have tested it works fine... Until I apply the "damage537.zip", "damage710.zip", "damage710v2.zip", or "damage768.zip" OC Kernels.
As far as I can tell they're all just variations of the same Kernel, set to different OC stats out-of-the-box, so to speak.
I'm a troubleshooter by nature, so I've devoted some thought to this problem. Here's what I've come up with so far:
I perform full wipes (data, Dalvik, SD:ext, battery, and rotate) before installing any ROM.
Th ROMS I've tested so far are: Fresh Hero 2.3.3, Fresh Toast v21 heroc, Hero.C.Sprint_2.27.651.6 Deodexed, RegawMOD v2.1r, RegawMOD v2.1t
With each and every ROM tested: the full wipe was done; the ROM applied; the default version of Wireless Tether for Root tested successfully; the Wireless Tether updated from Market; tested successfully; the OC Kernel applied (each of the four mentioned above tested;WITHOUT performing another wipe first); tested UNSUCCESSFULLY.
Am I doing something wrong in these steps as listed? Are there other OC Kernels available somewhere that can be tested? How about some more ROMS (when's that Wiki going back up??? )

I wasn't using one from the Market. I went here and downloaded wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk. As I said above, this always worked for me before. I wasn't sure why it quit working. It's working again now, though, but it seems to be a bit... strained. Getting it to connect is wonky, but when it does connect it works fine. Still not sure what's going on there.

Read your service agreement. I pulled this directly off the service agreement on the website for the "unlimited" data plans:
Data Usage Limitation (Mobile Broadband Cards, USB Modems, Embedded Modems and Phone-As-Modem):The amount of data transmitted over our network is measured in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB) or gigabytes (GB). Sprint reserves the right to limit throughput speeds or amount of data transferred; and to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if usage either exceeds (a.) 5GB/month in total, unless specified otherwise or (b.) 300MB/month while off-network roaming. 1024KB equal 1MB. 1024MB equal 1GB.
I have a PPTP account with HideIPVPN which works perfectly on my iPod Touch and on my XP computers. It does not work on my Motorola Milestone - the connection is "successful" but no data gets through. At some point on some build of Froyo (I can't remember which), I was quite successfully able to use this VPN on my Nexus One for long extended periods to listen to Pandora Radio.
Recently I tried CyanogenMod 6 RC3, and to my disappointment, I could connect to the VPN but not get any data to go through. So I restored to my nandroid backup on FRF91 (which I'd originally applied via the pre-rooted update.zip). I retried the VPN and it works but after 30-90 seconds the data cuts out and won't work anymore.
Has anyone here had consistent success with a PPTP VPN on FRF91 or CM6 RC3? If so, did you have to do anything special to make it work?
Thanks
Charles
The "cut out" might be related to WiFi keepalive bug. Keep the phone awake and see if the connection still cuts out.

The phone remains awake the whole time. I connect to the VPN and then immediately jump to browser. I load one page and it pulls down successfully. Then I keep clicking links; after the second or third one nothing works anymore, and no apps are able to see data until I disconnect the VPN. This is reproducible.
On my iPod Touch, the same procedure does not have any trouble - I can connect to the VPN and browse for hours.
I located the post on HowardForums where I reported my success with VPN + Pandora on Froyo. It was June 6th, and at that time the latest Froyo build was FRF50.
So I've taken a nandroid backup and I'm going to try a little experiment... roll back to FRF50 via pre-rooted update.zip and see if PPTP works on that build. Don't know if my phone will have a problem with rolling backwards but worst case I can just restore.
Rollback test #1: Didn't clear data/cache first time round. Same results as before, ability to browse cuts out within about 30 seconds of the VPN connection.
Test #2: Wiped cache/data to get a blank (but still rooted) FRF50. Same results again... first page or two I browse to will load but then nothing else will.
Could rooting the phone somehow have destroyed the ability to use a PPTP VPN? So strange, I just can't figure out why it worked in June and not anymore today.
Ah well, since I can't get it working on *any* build right now, might as well go back to CM6 and try out the new stable mod. And I'll keep hoping/wishing/etc for a solution to this problem. Any ideas are welcome.
Well this is interesting. I can't get the VPN to work from my home or office wifi (and it works on both with iPod Touch) - but - when I brought my N1 into a WIND Mobile store and tried their test SIM, I was able to connect to the VPN over 3G just perfectly. The connection didn't stall out and I was able to listen to Pandora through the tunnel. This was using CyanogenMod 6.
I wonder why it's not working on wifi?
Am I the only one who cares about this, or is nobody else experiencing the same bug?
Same problem on the Galaxy S. I think its an Android issue, rather than phone. I understand, though never tested, that it works when doing VPN to a linux box, but never to windows or something like a cisco appliance.
OpenVPN works, but takes a fair amount of messing about to get it working.
On CyanogenMod 6.1 / 6.1.1, I can sometimes stay connected now to a PPTP VPN for 5-15 minutes at a time over Wifi. Not sure when it changed.
At various points my Focus S seems to lose the ability to use it's data connection- either Wifi or 3G. I can't work out why- has anyone else experienced this? Web pages don't load, etc.
I installed a patch that allowed me to use Internet Sharing, I'm concerned this might have been the cause of it...
I've found that if I do not reboot my phone at least once a day I get random problems like that.

I don't reboot my phone all that often. I've never seen it lose ALL data connection capability tho...
A regular power cycle doesn't hurt tho...
Can this be the issue?
I'm experiencing the same thing, but mainly when I'm connected to 3G. My phone shows it has full bars and 3G or 4G availability but I find 60% of the time my phone has little to no data going to my phone, so none of my apps or news feeds get updated or they get updated slowly. When I'm on wifi the phone works flawlessly.
I read this article,
http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/hack-fixes-mms-on-unlocked-samsung-wp7-handsets
One of the odder quirks of Windows Phone 7 to appear since the platform's launch has been the absence of Automatic Data Configuration for users who swap SIM chips and network-hop with their unlocked handsets.
ADC should let the phone communicate with the network it's connected to in order to retrieve all the settings it needs in order to use the network's services. Samsung defended disabling ADC by saying that its phones are intended to only be used with a specific carrier
Now I know this is talking about MMS, but does anyone think it's related to 3G connectivity from a different service provider?
i am having the same problem, it started 2 days ago after i unlocked my phone, at&t gave me the unlock code, i had to enable hot spot & de brand by loading a file, i don't have problem with WiFi just 4G, it will be fixed if i re start the phone.
problem for me with wifi+3G
Not sure if this is the same as the OP. I run with both WiFi and 3G enabled most of the time. Basically everything will be working fine for a while, then I'll try to open a web page from Twitter and it will time out. Sometimes retrying will work, but it will take an abnormally long time to load the page. Other times it never works, and when I go to another app (e.g. mail) and try to sync, and that will also time out. When that happens I usually turn off either WiFi or 3G, then toggle the state of the one I left on (e.g. turn 3G off, then back on), and it clears up. I've never needed to reboot the phone. I don't have ICS enabled, but my phone is fully unlocked.
I've guessed this problem was caused by a lost or bad connection on one of the wireless protocols (like WiFi), where the phone thinks it is connected to WiFi and won't switch over to the other protocol (3G).
One more thing: I'm running 8107 and I don't remember this issue occurring before the upgrade.

I have the EXACT same issue as you state here. The problem has existed since day one with this phone. I updated through to 8107 and the issues still exist.
So now for some interesting/good news... my dad works for a large company that has direct access to AT&T Wireless Engineers, so he got in contact with an an engineer and explained this issue as both him and I experience the same issues. The engineer was able to get a hold of a Samsung Focus S and experienced the same problems for himself. He then escalated the issue directly to Samsung who in-turn escalated this to Microsoft. Apparently Microsoft claimed the issue was theirs and they are now working on an update to rectify the problem. Samsung also apparently has some updates that they were going to push but have since held off on pushing them until Microsoft has the fix for this data issue fixed.
I've been so frustrated by these issues and the lack of information regarding them that I thought you might be interested in knowing that Samsung, Microsoft, and AT&T ARE working to get the problem resolved.
Wow! This is really great news as I am having the exact same problem. I usually just on and back off Airplane mode and that fixes it, but its a real hassle. So, the word is that Samsung is, possibly, combining all the current issues like this data, the extra settings/quirky display, and the 8107/disappearing keyboard all in to one?
matt
The AT&T engineer didn't say what was going to be included in the Samsung update, just that Samsung was holding off on releasing the update until after Microsoft supplied a fix for the data issues. Hopefully Samsung's update fixes all of the Focus S quirks (data issues, delayed keyboard sounds, quirky display/auto brightness) in one shot.
Thanks for posting this, i feel better that Microsoft & Samsung are working on fixing this issue.
Any updates/news about this specific issue? I have the exact issue with my Focus S since I got my phone
I too have been having this issue and still haven't found a solution. I hope Samsung and Microsoft come up with a solution soon because it is very irritating.
Keep this post updated

Am I mistaken...but the majority of people posting in this thread, have the problem after installing something non standard?
8107 is not released by Samsung/AT&T, so the possibility that an associated file is not included, does exist.
Was the hotspot patch and official release, or was it intended for sideload or something?
I'm just curious. I had the luxary to have my Dell Venue Pro sent to Microsoft and examined by the Test and OEM team for WP. This was several months ago. They were able to determine I had used the force update trick to update my Device. From pieces of various emails, I was able determine the update included multiple files. The multiple files consisted of Device specific instructions and additional files needed for the that operator, in addition to the Update provided by MS.
If this is the case, forcing an update into place may indeed load the update, but it might not include other needed files.
Now, I'm not an expert, a dev or anything else important. I cannot validate that what I said is true. But, i do have the benefit of having my older device looked at by MS several months ago. This does not prove 2+2=4. But it does raise enough doubt in my mind that I won't be foruce updating my devices until alot more people get a look at this methodology and perhaps come up with some answers, or at least explanations.
Does the internet connection issue appear only after the forced 8107 update?
I had been using a Chevron-unlocked Samsung Focus S on the 7720 and had experienced no issues. Just updated to 8107 following Heathcliff74's method so I hope this issue doesn't start to plague me.
Also, has anyone had success with voluptuary's wifi internet connection sharing and interop-unlock method? I am hesitant to apply that hack exactly because of worries about issues with internet...
I'm a big chicken. I am just going to wait for AT&T to release the update. I just have this funny feeling that there's a little something extra included with the at&t update. I've done plenty of customizing over the years, but just have a feeling about this. I do wish they would step on it, though.

Extra as in something to block out interop unlocks (bad) or firmware updates (good)? Definitely hoping for a camera firmware upgrade.....

when I said extra, I meant a focus s specific file that might act as a customization or configuration file. I don't think a block file of any sort might be included. But I do know that at&t is proprietary enough to want a unique identifier of some sort. In Gen 1, at&t had special builds just for them, turning on or off features. I know the hd7 had a specific 'config' type file, as did the venue pro. Would I call these extra files? No. I would call them required files. Build 8107 was a single build for WP. Do you think that all phones with mango had the same needs, samex files, same configs? Or is it possible that a related file acted as a config or control.
I'm not smart enough to know for sure. My gut says...maybe. .
Same Problem

Hi, I desperately need some support as my device refuses to sign in in both Youtube and Play Store. I'm therefore unable to use both these apps. An error message keeps saying I'm offline and proposes to retry, but it simply never works whatever I do.
Issue has been going on since many weeks; I googles and tried many suggestions without any success.
Before I do a hard reset, has anyone an idea what this can be?
The amazing part is that my daughter's tab (Galaxy S2) is also having the same issue since some time! She has her own google account. What the heck is going on?
Thanks!

This may be an bug in the updated version of google play store or YouTube..Have you tried to sign in specific apps usning another google account you have..Also try to clear cached data of phone as well as clear data of those apps* you can also uninstall updates of those apps and force stop or disable them and after enabling again try to access*..Also might be network related issue sometimes weaken network shows such type of errors..Try to acees with high speed wifi or data with maximum signal..Even if problem exist then simply reset is last option for you..

Hi, I tried most of the solutions you're are mentioning, without any success. What I find interesting is what you wrote about weak network. I cancelled my cable connection at home some time back and using instead a 4G modem. Could that really be the culprit, knowing the coverage is medium? It sounds to me strange that such possibility exists, also I often go out and have full 4G network for hours sometimes and still it doesn't work. Interestingly enough, every about once per month it suddenly works, and I'm able to update my apps and also access my account in Youtube. It'll work for 2-3 days, until it's again the same bad. Really boring and would love to understand this issue better so as to possibly fix it. Thank you.

1)It's possible sometimes your networks proxy enforce your google id not to be sign in into specific apps you have mentioned and yes sometimes low network coverage also causes the issues like offline or sign in errors like please check network connection due wireless functionality limitations
2)I am curious about one thing if you have tried almost all the solutions found on google as well as your own, is it that much impossible for you to make backup of your current imp data and give a try to hard reset?? If i am not wrong, please give it a try because sometimes software glitches also causes the app crashes or network errors
3) Next thing sometimes your stock software gets corrupted due to some fatal malwares so many system apps as well as third party apps pretended to show errors like unfortunately process is stopped also some network related issue, so one solution you can try is to re-apply or update your current stock firmware..i.e. if update is unavailable you can fresh install same firmware version again on your phone which most of the times resolves the issue
4) As i mentioned in my first post you should give a try to any high speed mobile network like LTE or 5ghz band Wi-Fi which gives constant access to internet connection which probably help you to figure out exact issue i.e. with modems or connection your using or with your device itseld due to corrupted software
5)Please mention your device model no,country,your mobile network provider information so that it would be easy to figure out your issue
Thank you. Yes, a hard reset could solve it although I'd like to avoid it if possible. I will try ASAP on a solid wifi and see. I forgot to mention an important point: my daughter's tablet (Galaxy S2 pro) has got the same issue, and it started near about the same time like it did to me. She has her own Google ID, and she uses a different set of apps. Will report whenever I can test on a wifi.
My mobile provider is Salt Mobile here in Switzerland, and my Note 5 is a generic one bought in UAE. I run Dr. Ketan rom of about 8 months ago.

1)Ohhhk now i got, i assume you might be using Indian Variant with indian mobile network providers as per your username 'prerna'
so your device might be factory unlocked SM-N920C
2)So you should try on any faster network provider or incase wifi to check if problem is due to weak singal strength or specific with your device software integration
3) And i think you should give a try to dr.ketan's nougat rom which is based on latest nougat firmware which will might help you to overcome your issue as new base,new kernel will help you to get stable connectivity
4)If your running dr.ketans MM 6.0.1 based rom then download latest N5 nougat rom to flash
5)I know u might not new in flashing custom roms ad your running a custom one only from 8 months but once again be sure to enable 'oem unlocking' and 'usb debugging' options from developers option before flashing latest twrp version(Don't worry u can flash dr.ketans rom using any 3.0 twrp version ur running now but if latest version with stability and improvements available for your device then you can install it as per your requirement) if your running old one or before flashing nougat based N5 rom by dr.ketan
So I've been having trouble with the wifi connection on my phone almost since I got it. Certain websites (cinema5d.com, eoshd.com, even Amazon.com at times) load perfectly fine when using my mobile data, but the minute I switch to WiFi... like ANY wifi router anywhere in the world, the pages either load VERYYYYYYY SLOOOOOOWLY... or don't load at all. I've tried going through all my advanced network settings... but I can't quite find a place to switch only the DNS on the MotoX4. (And I'm not really sure why I should have to.)
This is running completely standard RETEU firmware. Android Pie with the latest patch. (Though I also had the exact same problem with Marshmallow.) Not rooted.
I have no idea what's going on, how I can fix it, or how I can even get a glimpse of what's going on.
The other thing is I've been logging on to my bank for like YEARS with no problem... but yesterday, when I tried to go in, they told me I needed to use a browser that supports javascript all of a sudden? Maybe this is all connected?
