Hi,
Firstly I should introduce myself, my name is George, live in Essex and have a passion for cars and gadgets.
I've been roaming this forum since I had my first android device a HTC Hero and try and use search as much as possible rather than repeating other peoples problems but I am properly stuck with this one..
To be short,
Device Details:
Device: Google Nexus 4
Android Version: 4.2.1
Carrier: Orange (EE)
Problem: Portable hotspot is active and I can connect to it from various devices but there is no data pass through.
Solutions tried:
Changing the APN type to every possible solution mentioned (i.e consumer broadband etc)
Using both open and sercured sercurity on the hotspot
Connecting using everything from another phone to my Google Chromebook and all imbetween
I've read there has been mention of Orange blocking this but most people find this isn't the case and its usually fixed via the APN.
The only thing that looks slightly odd is that an ipconfig on my windows machine(s) shows 192.168.xxx.xxx yet the IP address displayed by my Nexus is 10.166.xxx.xxx and if I ping my Nexus's IP from my machine i do get a response.... (all when connected to the hotspot)
Even with a ip release/renew still picks up 192.168
So that is my issue....
I can't think of anything else bar a factory reset which i'd rather not do just yet so thought i'd ask here first I geuinely searched everywhere!
any help would be much appreciated....
Don't mean to bump this but if anyone could offer any advice it would be much appreciated!
Even if someone could just confirm they are using the Orange/EE network with the Nexus 4 and has it working?
Thank you!!
i'm also on orange (EE).
bummer. mine's not working either. i thought it was but i think i was connecting to my router's wifi instead.
i also tried bluetooth tethering but couldn't get that working at all.
A sort of "me too", here: I'm also an Orange (EE) customer who can't get WiFi (or Bluetooth) tethering to work. However, USB tethering works fine - just appears to install a RNDIS virtual Ethernet adapter, and then just works.
Using Wireshark, I noticed that DNS lookups (which use the phone as a DNS server/ proxy) actually work. However, SYNs for connections to hosts on the Internet go unanswered. I'm beginning to suspect that the phone just isn't forwarding packets from the WiFi interface to the cell interface (but no idea why)
As a sort of aside: I'm pretty sure this used to work on my Motorola Atrix via Orange.
Having the exact same problem, running CM10.1.
Have messed around with APN settings but does nothing, laptop connects phone and even shows as having internet access but trying to visit any site just times out.
I have tried the exact same hotspot configuration with a giffgaff (O2) sim card and it works fine, so it must be Orange!

I just moved into this new place, just got the Cox Cable internet installed yesterday, picked up a new "Belkin N Wireless Router" model # F5D8233-4. Works fine with the laptop- I've had it setup using unsecured, WEP, & WPA/WPA2 Personal. No problems on the laptop. Inexpensive Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Basic.
However, the Wing will not cooperate at all. It only wants to connect to unsecured networks. It will connect to mine and others it detects in the appt complex. But as soon as any type of security is enabled it just tries to connect for a few seconds, then the network becomes unavailable. I'm soo tired of clicking around in the Wing with this stylus, I'm about to throw it out the window.
I've set up a static IP on the laptop so to better work with port forwarding & Azureus. Will this have an effect on what I'm trying to do? I can't see how it would, but I'm no expert.....
So here's what I've done. In the routers setup page, I've selected 64bit wep, typed in a passkey and hit generate. Wrote down the 4 keys it generated, saved the changes and exited the router setup. I think where I'm messing up is what I should be doing next with the Wing. Can anyone walk me through this?
About the only thing of note that I've done to the Wing as far as tweaking is concerned is to install Home Screen/Battery Status, overclocked to 260, and tweaked the registry to allow ring tones from the sd card.
HELP!!
maybe your wing uses the same ports as the ones you've forwarded to connect to your router. You should always make it really obscure (something like 65530-65534) to make sure that there are no conflicts between other apps and any port related protections your ISP may have implemented.
You are setting up your wing with the key, right? It might just be that the wing is incompatible with 64bit wep.
Let me clarify- the port forwarding was set up for the Azureus bit torrent client. Way obscure ports-in the 49,xxx-50,xxx range.
Yeah, setting up the wing with the key. The only choices are 64 and 128bit wep. And the WPA/PSK. Neither work. When the little window pops up asking for the net work key, I enter one of the ones I wrote down. The thing doesn't seem to be compatible with any type of security. Which kinda sucks....To use the wi-fi at home, I have to leave my router open to "signal thieves".
thats funny, actually.
I have my linksys wrt54g set to 64 bit 10 hex security and it works just fine. Maybe your problem has something to do with the wireless n part of your router? The wing is not compatible with draft-n. Does your router also broadcast with wireless-g or b?
It does...I just switched it over. Waiting for the Wing to reboot then I'll try again. Good thinking.
Ok, that didn't work either. The selections in the router are
1- Off
2- 802.11g,
3- 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11n
4- 802.11n
It was on #3, I changed to #2 and no luck. Grrr...
Have a look on your wireless lan power settings, my Wing also had huge wifi problems all fixed when I changed the power to better performance.
I think I found a thread that mentioned that while researching this problem. Anyways, I've already made that change.
Which network adapter is the wi-fi one? Is it this- "SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter"?
oh by the way just remembered something from my noob years.
make sure that your wing's adapter connects to "the internet" not "work"

lol, Already made sure of that. Thanks tho.
I've had the exact same issue with my MDA and originally with my Wing. It works fine now, I'm not sure why.
I just flashed to Open Touch 6.5. Still a no-go.
ok am new with this i got the tmobile wing and with the wifi i can use the internet right so that means that if i don't have a data plan i can still use the internet without getting charge for data can someone explained to me the wifi issued thanks i don't want to use the internet and later get a big bill cause i don't have data plan on my phone thanks...
so what's the wifi on the wing for???

The wifi is just like a laptop's wifi, it connects to a wireless router and since it's not going through the cell phone towers, it will not charge you.

ok thank you very much
OMG....I'm getting soooooooooooooo tired of dickin around with this thing. Now it won't connect to any network, secured or not.
I tried importing a certificate from IE on my laptop, because I got an error message on the wing saying the net work needed a personal certificate to identify me. Didn't work.
I tried a hard rest. Didn't work.
I've tried about 56,345 soft resets. Didn't work.
If there were any trees in the state of Kansas, I'd go bang my head on one of them. :

It works fine with my current ROM. (JustMe by... Me. lol)
I'm pretty sure it's not a ROM issue...I just flashed this thing late last night. It started not connecting to anything late afternoon yesterday, while the stock T-Mobile ROM was installed.
The stock ROM never worked properly for me...
Try another ROM.
Hello people,
Two days ago I bought a Legend only to discover that it has some issues with Wi-Fi. Here's what I mean:
I did the initial setup fully, set up a Google account, Wi-Fi connection only. Weather and Mail (Imap, not Gmail) work perfectly with my home WLAN, but Market does not. What's even strange - I can only open .bg websites (I'm from Bulgaria) in the browser, but nothing else, not even google.com. Those two work just fine on a 3G connection, though.
I tried all sorts of tricks with my router (D-Link N in mixed-mode if it matters), but it was no good. Even set the phone to be in the Demilitarized zone so as to have no problems communicating on port 5228 as I read Market needs to use... still nothing.
Please, can anyone think of a way to solve this annoying problem?
May thanks in advance!
Did you try switching the router to only b/only g/only n mode?
My router is a D-Link DSDL 2740R N and I haven't problem.
Also the coverage is satisfactory.
Try changing your DNS settings, and check router's MTU. Although just guessing here...
Sent from my HTC Legend using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Yes, switching the mode was the first thing I did - going to g/b did no good.
Like I said, I don't have troubles connecting now - just a very limitted access to websites and services.
And what DNS Settings? The ones on the router? But they are working perfectly with my two computers, it's the HTC Legend that has issues.
---
So, I just talked to the support desk of my ISP and they told me they had never heard of such a problem. According to the guy, everything should be working normally because they were not blocking any kind of traffic/ports.
Any ideas?
HI, I recently purchased a HD2 and have been very impressed with it.
I have been scouring the internet for upgrades/tips/customisations etc and here seems to be the place to be.
Now I have Opera 10 and Opera 9.7 installed(Default)
I followed all the instructions to be able to watch BBC iPlayer to the letter.
I ofcourse got the "you need to be connected via WiFi to watch" message, so I promptly booted up my WiFi on the phone and connected to my home router.
As I did this, as per usual it connected fine with full signal strength. The only problem being that once connected I cannot access the internet via either browser on my phone, and worse, none of my machines connected to the router(via ethernet or WiFi).
In essence it completely shuts my router out, I have to turn my WiFi off on the phone, then turn the router off and on again just to get connection back for my computers.
It is most definitely the phone connecting causing the issue, since it only happens when I try to connect the phone to the router. It also only started when I changed the "opera:config" settings for BBC iPlayer.
I am at my wits end with it and really, really dont want to have to do a hard reset and lose all my new contacts/photo's/app's etc.
Any help is appreciated!

Before I post my reply I would just like to say, I think its great to still see active development and mature forums with timely and accurate responses.
Demon_man, you sir, are a legend. I had actually read that thread but discontinued halfway down due to a poster explaining they could still gain access to their hub.
In essence, it appears when I started using my Leo as a WiFi Hub it took on the default 192.168.1.1 IP as a static(which I assume was to emulate a router). Once I discontinued using it in that way both my router and phone had been assigned to same IP address, essentially cutting my router off when I connected my phone.
I have reset the adapters to get the IP from server in future.
I also already had the iPlayer tweak in place, but thanks for the link.
Many thanks again for such a speedy response.

Glad can help
This is an embarrassing question for two reasons. First, I’m sure it’s a simple answer that is just getting past me. Second, every search string I try comes up with dozens of pages talking about setting up Internet Sharing, none that I could find addressing my problem. After reading through numerous pages and double checking the terrific collection of FAQs that mmalka put together for the Rhodium Energy ROM, I decided to ask here.
My problem is with connecting to the Internet through a WiFi connection on my TP2 AFTER having used the Internet Sharing app.
I use WiFi at home all the time and I never have any issues setting it up after flashing – this time was no exception. It’s been working flawlessly since flashing the ROM in my signature several days ago. But I needed independent Internet access at work yesterday to test out a VPN/remote desktop connection on a laptop and decided to try the Internet Sharing app on our phones. VERY impressive! A couple of quick buttons pushed and viola’! Worked like a champ!
However, back at home I had trouble getting my phone to connect to my home WiFi router again. I discovered that when I tried turning on the WiFi, it was looking to be used as an Internet Sharing point again. So I deleted that connection (“forgot” it) and it successfully connected to my home WiFi router. However, it will not actually go to the Internet – everything faults out with “Connection is currently unavailable”. Switching to the T-Mo 3G connection, everything works great.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions short of a hard-reset?
Many thanks in advance.
Solved!
Well, judging by the number of looks with no reply, either this was a simple solution that I should have been able to easily figure out or no one else is having the issue to know what to do. But I finally figured it out and just in case anyone else eventually comes across the same issue, I thought I tell you what I found.
After digging around, I found that the Internet Sharing application changes the Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter to a local IP address. So all I had to do was change it to “Use server-assigned IP address” and everything worked. (Settings tab, Wireless Controls, WiFi - Connect to WiFi Network, Advanced, Adapters and Networks, Network Adapters, edit Broadcom 802.11 DHD Network Adapter, Use server-assigned IP address.)
I have no idea whether going back to a standard wireless connection should automatically switch it back, but it doesn’t in my case. If anyone has a simpler way of address this, I’d love to hear about it.
Regardless, I hope this help someone.
Thanks

OK, so I stumbled into another revelation. It seems that if you remain in the WiFi Router application (or simply go back to it) and use the "Stop" command to discontinue the service, the Broadcomm Network Adapter does get reset to "Use server assigned IP address". The few times I used Internet Sharing, I was in other apps when I finished and simply turned off WiFi.
Oh well, live and learn.
I had a similar issue recently.
my new router was connecting fine to another mobile, but not my EnergyRom mobile.Thought it was my new routers band G/N compatibilty issue. however your post help remind me that i had used internet sharing on my HD2 for my laptop a few days earlier..Checked out my settings and well broadcom adapter was set to static at 192.168.1.1...switched it back to server assigned Ip and voila wireless is connected now
Really appreciate your post..Thanks so much for posting the solution, Gregb882
Acer A501 - not rooted. Using either browser (chrome or dolphin) can't get to a search site. I can get to microsoft.com so I know the browsers are working but neither will access the search engines.
I can get to Google Play and my email works fine.
Any suggestion??

Have you tried to do it using Wifi connection? Or 3g only?
Maybe your provider is blocking something. Try different provider/wifi network.
my suspicion is that Google and Yahoo are trying to offer to use IPv6 and your connection can't handle it.

I don't think that's the issue as my internet connection provider doesn't provide IPv6 yet and my tab connects to google using IPv4 and the fact that the DNS query for google.com returns both IP4 and IP6 addresses is not an issue.
Of course it could be the other way around. RogerCurrier's provider may support IPv6 but there can be some connectivity issues between both AS (authonomous systems) networks over IPv6. But still I don't believe that this is really an issue in this case.
Thanks for your suggestions..
I think i am getting somewhere, previously I have been using the wireless connection. Turned off the router and using 3gl I can connect to Google etc. So it seems that the problem is with the wireless connection.
Turned the router off for an hour, rebooted the Android- No difference, still can't connect to Google etc, and other connections seem slow. Have another pc using XP and it connects to Google no problem using the same router.
Checked connection with the following report: Status connected, security WPA/WPA2 PSK, Signal strength Excellent, link speed 65Mpbs, IPAddress 10.1.1.
Are there any other settings I should be aware of?
To find out which device is the source of the problem (tablet or router) it would be best if you could try another wifi connection (for example in your friend's house or some hot spot). That would show if the problem is only when you connecting to your or to any wifi connection.
Yes, I was coming to that conclusion, will try the library tomorrow. Thanks, will keep you informed.

Just checked the Amstrad in the local library. It connected to Google no problems so the problem is with the router. It looks like i will have to try another forum. Thanks everyone for their help. Long live the Android.
Rog:fingers-crossed:

Solved the problem after many hours of struggle. Made my network address static instead of dynamic. Made all the difference, quite happy now, hours to Google etc. Can't see why it should make a difference but it does.
Thanks for everyone's help and assistance.
