Has anyone on Verizon with a xv6800 gotten WMWifiRouter to work? I have tried and tried and still have no luck. I installed ICS like others have said and this has still not made it work. If anyone has a xv6800 and has WMWifiRouter working, please help me out with some directions. Thank you in advanced for your help.
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
I use it every day
So far you said that you installed ICS so that should be ok. Make sure you turn on your wifi before wifirouter, and you know it is right when the 3 simi circles stop flashing and stay lit and the message is 'connected to wifirouter ready'. If it is like that then it is working and the problem is that maybe the wifi on the other end needs to be told to look for ad-hoc connection, some will not see one by default. Ad-hoc is the mode it uses.
It says it is conected but also says it is searching for ICS and WLAN and it never connects.
make sure your WiFi switch is on
yep

That is what happens when the wifi is not working because it must bind with it. Go into your commanager and see what your wifi looks like and that the ad-hoc connection 'wifiminirouter' is there.
i was having the same problem. I uninstalled it, turned on the wifi switch then reinstalled it. I originally installed with the WiFi switch off and that apparently was the problem.
I got it. Thanks for your help everyone.
Okay, I have to ask since I haven't figured the program out. What does this program do? It allows a computer to connect to my phone via WiFi, while my phone is connected to the data network, thus giving my computer internet? I don't know.
Thats it exactly

You get a cookie ;-) and not only that but it doles out many ip addresses so anyone in range of your phone can share it's EVDO.
Sweet! I like cookies! This phone really is a magic phone.
I have to admit I was wondering if this was going to work.
I live in a 1x world up here in NW Arizona. Yesterday was a road trip to Vegas, Wife had the laptop and she surfed the net through the connection and then when we got to Vegas we hit EVDO and life was very good.
I think I am going to have to get a Amp with a good external antenna for better reception though.
But this brings up another possible situation as posted above others may intercept the wifi. But cruising down the road that should be a very remote hazard.
The only problem developed last night on the way home . It was searching for ICS like the switch was off. I verifed it was correct. Looked at settings and the wifi icon was missing in action. Soft reboot brought it back and life was good again.
Conflict with Exchange
I installed the program on my Verizon 6800. My phone puts out a signal, my computer recognizes it, gets an ip address and connects, but when I open internet explorer I get the "page cannot be displayed" error.
I do have my phone receiving push email from exchange server. I went into communications manager and turned that off, but still can't connect.
The wmwifirouter site mentions this problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had any success connecting?
Thanks!
do you have your wifi switched turned on BEFORE you open wmwifirouter? your computer will still connect even if the actual connection to the internet is not there. disconnect your computer from the network. close wmwifirouter (or just soft reset for good measure). turn on your wifi switch, then start wmwifirouter, then connect. if you're on a laptop, just shut off your wireless until wmwifirouter is connected.
Thanks for the quick response.
I followed your directions:
1. Soft Reset,
2. Turn on WiFi on phone,
3. Open wmwifirouter program,
4. Turned on wireless connection on computer.
Again, everything connects, but get the same IE error. When I select the wireless network in my office, my computer connects instantly.
In the wireless LAN settings on my phone, the configuration shows:
SSID: WMWifiRouter
Mode: Ad hoc
BSSID: 02-18-41-33-01-09
Tx Rate: Auto
Channel: 11
Signal Quality: Almost a full bar
This program would be absolutely awesome if I could get it to work!

Do you haveto run a custom ROM to use WMWiFiRouter or can you use Verizon's MR1?

I have WIFIRouter and love it. The only problem I have is after using it on my laptop, I have to delete the connection. If I do not the computers (Dell) wifi will only search for my phone, and will not connect to the router in my house until its gone.
I know this is not a phone issue, but a computer one, buut thought someone here might know.
Thanks
Reinstall with WiFi on - Reboot require
I was also able to get my xv6800 to work (using an iTouch) using the above suggestions. I uninstalled ICS and WMWiFi, reset the xv,and reinstalled ICS and then WMWifi "with the WiFi switch" on - thanks for the help!
I noticed that when I reinstalled ICS with the WiFi switch on, it said the changes would take effect after I restarted the xv, which it didn't do when I installed it with the WiFi switch off..
I also had to turn on the WEP encryption rather than "None" to get it to work, although that might have been fixed if I'd just reset the iTouch.

Hi there,
Had this problem with a past G1 but it got sent back because I cancelled the contract (wanted to upgrade my contract).
Anyway the problem seems to be happening with my new, 2 - 3 week old G1.
Internet is not working. Not on G2 network or through Wifi. This means the G1 will not sync, I can't use the browser, the Market gives a error, Gmail brings up a "No Connection" error with a retry button.
I also can't start the bluetooth. "Unable to connect to bluetooth" is the error I get as soon as I press the checkbox.
Driving me mad. Anyone got any ideas? Running Modified TC5-RC8. I should point out the last time I had this problem I was running stock RC8. So pretty sure it's not a custom firmware issue.
EDIT: Seems the net is working on G2. Other problems still persist.
What plan do you have? Who is your provider?
Flext 30 with T Mobile UK.
Did some more troubleshooting. A wireless hotspot in Town worked fine. However I don't see why the 2 wireless routers in my house have suddenly stopped working with my G1. I haven't changed any settings.
One is a BT Home Hub and the other is a Netgear.
and still the bluetooth will not enable.
EDIT: Seems an upgrade to v1.3 sorted it :s
I will put it down to a bug I guess?
This is very odd. Suddenly today I'm getting connection errors (GPRS) on every program on my phone EXCEPT for Skyfire. Skyfire can connect and surf the net with no problem, but not one other app on my phone will connect to the net, and I've tried several browsers as well as apps that connect directly (i.e. YouTube, Google Maps, etc).
I'm on AT&T in the US (New Orleans, specifically). I've checked and triple-checked my Media Net connection settings, and nothing has changed that I can see since the last time I was able to use it successfully. I've soft-reset several times, to no avail. I don't know if this is an issue, but while I was using WiFiWMRouter yesterday, it crashed. But I used the "Reset All Settings" function of that which is a crash cleanup of sorts, and still no luck.
What else can I check? It would seem that if it were an AT&T issue, Skyfire wouldn't be able to connect either!
Weird, I have the exact same problem too. I probably wouldn't have known that Skyfire could connect until I saw your post. My problem began (I think) when I uninstalled WMWifiRouter last night. I haven't gotten a connection with any other app since then. I had a hell of a time uninstalling an old version or WMWR I had installed just so I could install the PAID version and now it is apparently causing problems even on uninstall...
To add to this - I've confirmed that devices connected with ICS can connect to the internet through the phone. So it seems to me that the problem is related to some wifi settings (maybe that WMWR sets up) that aren't being "released" when wifi is turned off/disconnected.
If I do a hard reset the connection seems fine. If I then restore a backup from right before the problem started the connection is okay, but only until I try wifi again. From then on it's borked until I restore the backup again... frustrating as hell.
FWIW - I think I pinned down what was going on with my phone. In my wifi settings something (probably WMWR or Phojo) had set a static IP when establishing an ad-hoc network and didn't revert to "obtain an IP address automatically" when I quit/uninstalled the program. I don't know why the IP address of the wifi network adapter affects my cellular data connection, but setting that to "obtain automatically" and turning wifi back off allowed my phone to connect again. So it seems like it was using that IP address regardless.
I managed to screw up my titan (again). I installed the ICS Control program to get wifi bridge mode because I was sick of using the USB cable to tether. It didn't work at all and I exited the program. Now my cellular internet does not work on the phone unless the laptop is connected via USB. I get "Page not found" errors otherwise. It says it's connected though (data arrows). It also works intermittently when connected to a wifi access point. Anyone know a fix to this issue?
I have the same problem on my N1
I am after some help .
My N1 on Optus is getting good speeds when tethered to my laptop but when not connected my 3g signal is dropping out .
I am using it tethered to post this @ 3kms from Adelaide CBD
I can't access webpages or market as it they keep coming up with network error retry .
I am able to access webpages & market on N1 whilst tethered
I have had good 3g signal till last few days i haven't changed Roms or anything like that recently .
Many Thank$ In Advance

What have you tried to do so far? I 'd would recommend you clear the cookies, cache and then delete your existing connections under settings and manage connections.When you see mange existing connections click on that and then tap and hold on the connection that is a present and select delete. (the connection with restore and do a force out to the internet to update your settings when you soft reset the device.
Must have temp root...
I found that the 2.0.5.pre8 works got the G2! It's a bit slow because it seems to start and stop randomly, but it works.
If you google android-wifi-tether then go to downloads link, download the wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk
I can't post links as a n00b sorry.
I'm going to keep going down the list, 1 by 1, and test them all.
I'll report anything interesting.
sn00ch
stupid question but why did you try 2.0.5.pre8 no pre9?
I should have stated that I tried the newest experimental release, but it didn't work at all. In fact, Windows 7 said it couldn't connect. Ubuntu 10.4 never reported any problem, yet it never connected. My phone never buzzed saying that anyone connected with 9.
On pre8, however, I saw my computers connecting with IP addresses, and internet access!
sn00ch
doesn't work here.
I'm back to pre8. Nothing else worked as good or didn't work at all. Back to my original post to use pre8. This time I figured out a way for a FULL SPEED CONNECTION!
Ok, here is a reproduction of what I did to get it to work.
1) Start Android Tether.
2) Have all your computers connect. For me it was ubuntu 10.4, and windows 7.
3)Tell windows to keep the connect automatically in the little network connection tray icon bottom right.. If Ubuntu tries to connect to some other active connection, disable it (right click on the little wifi signal default installed on top right menu bar), and immediately proceed to the next step as fast as you can before Ubuntu tries a known working connection again.
4) STOP wifi tether.
5) Enable wifi tether.
6) BAM both of my computers connected with blazing fast speeds.
Please someone confirm this...
