Anyone else having trouble with wireless tethering crashing? I thought it might just be the app Optus installed on my Milestone 2, but I'm now thinking maybe a driver issue, as Wireless Tether from the Market just did the same thing. You use it for a few minutes, then it stops working, and when you try to disable it it won't let you disable and you have to restart the phone...? Anyone else (particularly Optus ROM folks) seeing this?
I had already post it. It's a common issue, expecially whit some routers, there is no solution that, or better: I didn't find anything. I fixed tue problem whit a hidden wifi no psw.
I have an uk version of milestone2, but I tried a lot of wifi, and the problem is only whit gm router.

Odd, I don't have any issues whatsoever. With Wireless Tether from the market, that is. The stock one didn't work at all.

hey everyone, I LOVE cm7 and stock android, but I use my phone to tether more than anything else and I need a solid tethering solution. My problem is that Wireless Tether app doesn't work with CM7 (at least last time I tried it) and the built in tether doesn't seem to work for me, (broadcasts but I don't get any internet connection)
Does anyone know of a way to Fix wireless tether app or why the built in one isn't working for me?
use barnacle tether, its free. but if the default settings arent working then go into the barnacle settings and click the "skip-wpa supplicant" or something like that. if it didnt work the first time it should work then
Thanks! I'll try that
I use the built in tether quite often on CM7. I am running rc3 right now and haven't had a chance to test it out but it has worked on the last 4 nightlies I've run.

the reason why the built in tether does not work for you is because you either used a wireless tether app or you have one installed. what you have to do is you must uninstall all wireless tether apps you have and then you must reflash your mod and obviously reboot once you do that it will be working for you. trust i just had this problem and i did a lot of research on it and i actually figured this out today and it worked. so give it a try and let me know how it goes. ^_^
would love to say this is the problem but it isnt
has something to do with dhcp, i can connect wirelessly to the phone np but wont get an internet connection because the phone decides to flake out and not assign an ip address for my laptop.
I tried to connect it earlier and it didnt work but i left it connected. I walked away, came back 10 minutes later and finally got an ip address and internet on my laptop. so either it just takes its sweet time assigning an ip or its tempermental
all good here
hi,
of no real help, but I am using CM7 stable and mine works without issue.
CM7 Final here and it works fine for me. Like others suggested, try wiping and reflashing.

As of last night im no longer able to use barnacle, wireless tether, or open garden. I've been running EF 3.6 since its release and just a week ago barnacle worked fine. Now when I connect it continues to say nat down and restarts. The only thing I can of is maybe I updated barnacle and its glitchy but that wouldn't explain why the other two aren't working. Out of ideas, and Im wondering if a noob like me can get some answers.

Have you tried restarting your phone? It could be that the WiFi is in a screwed up state. Enabling and then disabling wifi in Settings might also be able to sort it out.
Yeah I've restarted and reset wifi multiple times to no resolve. I think ill just wait until there is another update for barnacle then see what happens. Like I said though it still doesn't explain the other two not working. Any more suggestions though? I hate it when something works then stops for unexplaniable reasons...

This is exactly what it says when I try barnacle. Nat:restart: network is down. Waiting for uplink interface....and when I try garden or wifi tether it lets me connect my laptop with win 7 (the only device I've been trying) and everything looks fine but no data is transferred. Soo weird.

Barnacle works fine for me, neither wifi tether nor open garden do. I know that doesn't help you resolve the issue, but it may hint that the issue isn't with the barnacle version.
Im thinking most of the success people have with OG/WT are on different phones or a previous version. I tried to install an earlier version of both and it told me that I had insufficient space which was complete bs. When I tried the latest version it locks up constantly and apparently hates it when you try to change a setting while the wifi is activated.

im having really weird problems accessing and downloading from android market. when i am using my phone network i dont have any issues at all, but whenever i try to access it using wifi all my downloads fail.
it's only the market i have a problem with, otherwise i can browse the net and download as normal using wifi.
any idea what the problem can be? remember, its specific ONLY to the market place
*apologies, this should be in the S2 thread
Once got the same problem on Galaxy S. It disappeared automagically after one day.
ok, i managed to get it working, but only by making my wifi connection open. if i have any encryption on my router i cant access the market.
judging by the lack of replies, i guess no-one has a clue?
try it on someone else's router
Happened to me all the time using the old market. I installed the newer version and the problem went away.
Also the encryption on your router should make no difference, this is transparent to the app.

router isnt the problem.
just noticed that my version of the market is 2.3.6, so looks like there's been quite a few updates that i have been missing out on, downloading now and ill let you know if it solves the problem

Anyone else experiencing this? My Verizon 7.7 has unreliable tethering on FoxFi, Wifi Tether, and the native tethering app. They all start up fine, but after about 10 min. the tablet's data connection starts to go in and out. Once I turn off tethering, the data connection becomes stable again. My Thunderbolt has no issues on Wifi Tether using the same SIM card.

My tablet is perfect on stock ics wifi tether, purchased in antwerp belgium, used in united kingdom.
CM9 port is nice but no wifi tether option, so using stock rom which I think is a nice job from samsung, transformed this device.

Hmmm...maybe it's just an issue with the Verizon version.

Bad luck, they probably added something in to make the experience poor and deter you from sharing the connection, in my experience best to steer clear of large controlling american companies if possible,

Just curious, what is the advantages of using external tethering apps over stock tethering option in Galaxy tab?
BTW i use stock bluetooth tethering and found no issue.

After upgraded to official ICS, i cant do a tethering anymore. My gtab is bought from malaysia. Anyone experiencing this also?
Similar problem with rooted 6800 after a clean ICS install. Tethering is working fine, but only until the screen shuts off. After that the stock tethering shuts also off.
Tried other apps like Wifi Tether and Barnacle, but have the same problem. After switching on, Barnacle says that it is interfering with Wifi Manager, whatever it means.
I have no task killer
I use usb tether on my gt-6800 running HC.
I sometimes get losses of Internet connectivity but I'm not sure if it is down to the signal where I use the tether. Eg. I was getting it a lot a few weeks ago but recently it's been pretty stable.
The lease on the IP seems to need renewing every hour and it's often around then that problems can happen.
Hello,
Is anyone else having this problem? When I tether the Internet connection off my phone (wifi tethering) my browser and rom manager's Internet connection work fine, but Gapps, the market, Dropbox and several other apps will not connect to the Internet... Does anyone know the cause of this?
Did you enable "restrict background data"? I know Play Store doesn't work for me when I restrict that.
Otherwise everything works fine tethered to my Galaxy Nexus.

I did not unless it does this by default... I'm tethering 3G, not 4g... Could it just be my 3G isn't strong enough signal?
This Q&A thread is ridiculous! You ask a question and your post is bounced back 3 pages before u can get a response! And do Devs even cruise this thread looking to answer questions? It's all just fellow average users! BUMP

I can't really answer your question, but I have ( or had) a similar issue. ( Plus it will bump the thread up As you know, WiFi tethering will rape your phones battery. My HTC Wildfire S battery sucks ass to begin with, so its a must it is plugged in if I'm going to tether for more than 15 mins. I tried an app called FoxFi, because it's got rave reviews and it has Bluetooth tethering...and compared to WiFi tether, BT tethering uses hardly any battery. Well, I could save over 50℅ battery by using BT tether, and I was so excited. Until I tried to use ANYTHING BUT the web browser. Internet was fine, but everything else just stated "no network connection". No Google Now, no Asphalt 7, and no YouTube. What a let down. Maybe I'll look into it tonight and let you know if I find anything. The battery savings are worth me looking into it.
Much appreciated! I'm hearing that people with 4g phones aren't getting this issue... Perhaps the connection just isn't enough for the market and Gapps? I actually kind of doubt this because browsing is very snappy and I've been able to download large files with relatively good speed
