WiFi tether not working - EVO 4G General

Hi guys. I'm on a vacation roadtrip and decided to fire up the WiFi router and browse xda. The app starts fine, but when I hit start router, it flips over to SU request and sits at a black screen for a few minutes before saying it is not responding and prompting me to end task or wait. I tried going into the apps list and hitting super user permissions and got the same result, sat at a black screen then crashed.
Can someome tell me what to do? My setup specs are in my Sig.
Thanks

Uninstall wireless tether and then install again, then it should work just fine. Fixed it multiple times for me when problems came up with it.

I can't. It's built into omj's rom that I'm running. I think I have some issue with my super user permissions. All my apps that use SU are crashing and asking me to force close or wait. this is not cool. Any suggestions?

Tapatalk just crashed. Something is definitely wrong. App crashes are no longer limited to SU apps.

I just installed the latest beta version of WiFi tether. Same result. Is there any way to swap the superuser "controller" app with the one that unrevoked installs? My brothers have no problem using the WiFi app

Update: well, I completely reformatted my phone and loaded fresh 0.3 on there and its working great except wifi tendering. Now when I hit the wifi symbol, it says unable to start wifi tether. Please try again later. What do I do??u.

Problem: Screen Blackout - Buttons/Keyboard Unresponsive

The only thing I have done to this phone is root.
My phone several times today has had it's screen blacked out and cannot be awoken or used because all buttons on the phone become unresponsive. However, I know the phone is still working because it still receives notifications and I can hear it.
I have to take out the battery to fix this. Has happened about 5 times today.
Anyone else with this issue?
That certainly isn't normal. I would return it.
Also noticed that when using adb that it kicks my phone out after a certain time... something like 1 minute. Does this happen to anyone else?
I often have to do adb kill-server in order to see my device again.
I too have the same problem (though less frequently).
I have a rooted Epic using Joey Krim's method (raidagainstthecage-arm5.bin). I attributed it to the Overclock Widget which I have uninstalled to see if it gets any better. I like that widget for throttling down the CPU while the screen is off.
I guess it is best to start collecting data on this.
Phone was purchased at BestBuy.
Hardware version: D700.0.5
Anyone else seeing similar behavior? How about on a non-rooted Epic?
I was running SetCPU but uninstall the application and it was still happening to me. I have a feeling it has to do with the root method. My girlfriend's phone doesn't have root and it hasn't happened to her at all.
@jspielberg did you root via the one click method or manually with adb?
I rooted via adb.
Other root required apps installed:
Titanium Backup
Wireless-Tether Experimental (adhoc mode only working currently on the Epic it looks like)
Overclock Widget (now removed)
I think that is it for SU needed apps.
jspielburg did you use OS X by any chance to do your root? Couldn't get this thing to connect on windows so used my mac to root.
This happened to me not 30 minutes ago. And I'm 100% sure its root.

I did indeed use my mac also for root via ADB...
I can't see how that would matter, but it is good data nonetheless.
Very odd. I have not had a single issue with a blackout, or unresponsive buttons after I rooted 11am yesturday. Then again, I removed most of the sprint bloatware, and removed more useless crap from startup. All the rooted app's are working as expected.

Yeah everything is working fine. But I went to pick up the phone to make a call and it was dead. Complete blackout screen, not lights. Nothing.
@Fixter that happened to me too.
Everyone having this problem please state how you rooted. I have a feeling the EPIC doesn't like being on ADB through OS X or 64-bit OS's apparently.
I rooted Tuesday morning using Windows 7 32 bit mode, ran cmd as Administrator and followed Joeykrim's manual instructions.
I have had no problems with the screen being able to be turned back on and I have been on my phone performing various tasks for hours at a time.

I rooted via ADB on 64-bit Ubuntu using joeykrim's method, not a single issue.

I rooted with One Click Root. Windows 7 32bit.
I rooted using quick root on Windows 7 then did a full reset after I started having problems and still am having problems with the screen not turning on unless I pull out the battery
Is there a way to undo the "one click root" I did from the instructions here on XDA yesterday?
I rooted last night via OSX 64bit and have not experienced this issue. But now i am very afraid...

Wow, after doing a full reset without root I am not seeing problems yet but this post makes me worried that it's not just related to root or unrelated to root at all.
I did a full reset through the menu on the phone, I haven't tried doing one through the holding volume down while booting method but I will after work

Downloading from market, still having problems here!

this doesnt work for me anymore. i cleared cache, restarted, mount and unmounded
but nothing works anymore

and what do you mean: check the folders?
The same problem with Samsung Galaxy S. Sometimes works, sometimes does not. Sometimes clearing cash helps, sometimes not. Sometimes restart of the phone helps, sometimes not.
I think this is the general problem of Android 2.2 devices.
For me, it has actually turned data off. I have had to go to settings and turn it back on.
Today, I had to set WCDMA only for it to work. On GSM or WCDMA it showed a 3G connection, but no data would actually pass... how can that be?
I read other devices and ROM's are facing similar issues currently so I really think the Market is just unstable right now
I have try everything as well and no luck at all? It is the system problem or the market is down??
I've tried all that and still can't download. Was working fine earlier this morning, and yesterday
One app got installed a few hours back. However, just tried another app which does not get installed.
Glad to hear more people have market issues, that makes a general market problem more likely...

I've tried WiFi on and WiFi off some days and I really can't see any difference. With my hero I could see a definite difference.
As far as GPS goes, i thought it was only used when called upon by certain programs?

Bluetooth stack stop working

Hello all,
Something funny happened today with my Atrix today in that bluetooth just stopped working. Seems like the entire stack is corrupted. In using Extended Controls, the bluetooth widget is in permanent half green colour. Settings will try to turn on, but no luck. Reboot does nothing.
Using stock AT&T, which is unlocked and rooted.
Any ideas?
Regards.

Afraid not. Very odd.

Having the same issue here. Reboot fix it temporarily (for one time use only). Can't find any related thread...
Issue resolved after update
Ok. Good to know. Will update after upgrading.
Thanks.

Flashed with Gingerblur on 1.57, now bluetooth stopped working again.

Netflix App WORKING on my DX!

Guys, the netflix app that was just released for a few HTC devices and the two nexus phones, WORKS on my DX. link to post with the apk is in the Incredible section of the forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13730742&postcount=16
Hooray!!!
It appears to work on mine... Until I try to watch a movie. It looks like it is about to start playing but never buffers the movie/starts playing. I just see the screen with the play/pause button....
Anyone watching shows/movies successfully on a DX?
Yeah mine never buffers and just stays on the black screen as if it's about to play.
Working on mine also....awesome!!
About as good as a queue manager. Still wont play anything.
Streams on my X fine. I'm running rooted 595 GB.

Are you on wifi? Not sure if that would make a difference.
I am using Liberty GB V0.5
Not working on mine. Installs fine, runs fine, but errors out when I try to play anything. Tells me that my device is not supported and to check out the netflix website for a list of supported devices.
Im running GB 595, what are the people that this has worked for running?
***EDIT***
I uninstalled and then reinstalled and it is working great.
I get a black screen with movie title, pause/play button, and timeline. Would be so nice to see this working.

Yep, wifi. Haven't tried it on 3G yet, crappy signal in the basement where I work.
Could the new Flash update be tied to this app working correctly?

Thanks, some hope then. Would be nice over 3G.
Just tested on my DroidX running .595 Deodexed over 3G and it seem to stream fine.
Oh and I also updated Flash 10.3 before installing Netflix.
I just tried in on 3G and it picked right back up where I left off.
Installed. Says device is incompatible. Thoughts?

Rooted DX .340
I installed the Flash 10.3 update earlier today, however, (on my rooted DX .340) I get the "device not supported" message when trying this Netflix app.
I get to the black screen with the play/pause button, but no video. I'm running deodexed 591. On the Nook forums they've had luck by editing the build.prop to mimic an authorized phone. I wonder if the same would work for the DX.
I wish I could help more :-\
Deodexed rooted .595, a few build.prop edits from imoseyon's bundle that just affect wifi scan intervals and stuff. I do have the flash update.
Really nothing special here, works on wifi and 3G just fine.
I edited the build.prop and it works great but I lost Swype
I'm running .591 LibertyGB V.5 and I'm getting the black screen as well. Kinda odd it's working for some and not all. There's gotta be a common denominator that is causing it to work. It seems most are running GB and on Flash 10.3. I have installed, deleted, reinstalled... Rebooted.... Doesn't seem to want to work. Is there anyway to strip the build.prop from a working device to try and mimic what could be what's blocking it?

Phone Offline

I finally upgraded adb to show my device, but when i try using android commander it tells me the phone is offline. I think this "offline" mod is keeping me from install the hotspot mod. Just curious if anyone knew how to fix this "offline" issue.
You need to be using the latest adb to fix the "offline" issue. Type adb version to see what version you are using. I think the latest version is 1.0.31

I did use the latest and adb now shows the latest. But Android commander says it's still offline. I'm also having an issue install a simple mod and am wondering if this offline thing is causing issues.

I had that same issue when I first got adb going on this phone. I forget what I did to fix it though, I was drinking at the time. Be sure you have debugging turned on, and also be sure to watch your screen on the phone when you connect. There is a pop up asking something about rsa keys that you need to tap ok, and also check a box allowing it each time. Good luck.

Yeah I've done all that. I'm using this phone on page+ not sprint, so I'm wondering their isn't something not activated on the phone causing this.

No I think it's just the 4.2.2 locked up tight....I got the RSA key to come up once but I never got connected, going to setup ADB on another computer see if I can get that one right. I used it with my EVO before but the GS4 is killing me!!!!!
This has happened to me twice.
Once when I somehow didn't say it was ok to use the RSA key (I think i was drinking at the time), and once when I used some cheap USB cable that came with a cradle I had bought. I had heard people mention cables in the past, but never believed them until it happened to me.
Same cable works fine with my HTC... Samsungs USB can be funny at times...
I did install on my laptop and got the RSA key to come up but didn't help my problem. I can't get this hot spot mod to stick. I've used 4 different cables.
