Hi
Just tried to use usb tethering for the 1st time since 2.1 update.
All still looks like its working but no internet access. Tried under Linux on the same pc that always worked under 1.5
Also tried it on xp although I have never used it on there before I got the same kind of symptoms. Itooks like its all working but no internet, no pings, no nslookup.
So..... can someone try it and let me know if its working for you.
I am on T-Mobile UK. Ota 2.1 update, non rooted, stock Rom.
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem. I have spoken to TMob UK support who have not yet managed to solve it.
I'm wondering if they've not set up the phone right in the 2.1 update.
Glad its not just me. I will report it tomorrow as well.
I have a mate with a desire on tmob - will do a side by side with him tomorrow (and confirm his is working) and see if it is just settings - although it feels like a deeper problem to me.
I'll post findings.
Same here - tethering works fine on my Desire, but the missus Hero doesn't work - hoping for some resolution soon
Just moved house so am without internet for the next week, so tethering is bloody useful right about now!
Have put a 2.2 rom onto my Desire and am using WiFi tethering for now, but doesn't help when I'm not in...
If you are rooted, there is an app that works fine.
But custom roms don't have this issue afaik. VillainROM 12 works fine with tether, as I had to use it at work to test external connectivity to a system.
It's an option and one I will look into.
It worked fine under 1.5 and so far its the only thing that us causing me an issue.
T mobile tech support were able to reproduce, and in their testing they found a factory reset fixed the problem - I have confirmed (as has another user over on the tmobile forums).
Gave me an excuse to clear up the rubbish that had accumulated on phone.
All working now.
its working fine for me :/

and me, just done the Orange OTA 2.1 update and tethering works fine on the phone right after the update... if you need to factory reset to get it working it must be something you have installed on the phone.
Or maybe tmobile did something different to orange. Or maybe the radio roms are different.
Was quite a few tmob users and tmob support so if it was a rogue app then it was a fairly common one
Either way. It's working now.
Wish all problems were resolved as.simply.

I certainly think it has something to do with the installed apps on the phone after the update else why would a factory reset solve it, its not the Rom that is the problem... I take it you had heavily customized your phone.

Actually no- 5 apps, lastfm, xda, facebook, ambling audio book reader and handcent sms - restore took less than 5 minutes after factory reset, all contacts and calendar info on google.
Given that the functions like handing out dhcp address worked, it was fundamentally was "all there" I can easily imagine a startup routine that says something like
if file exists "some config file" then leave it alone
else make a new one
When you reboot, config file exists so leave it alone in, when factory reset - file doesn't exist, make a new one.
Perhaps the key thing is I was a heavy user of tethering before the update, perhaps when I did the upgrade I forgot to "stop" tethering and just pulled the cable - can't remember, so maybe I had a config file/param that the newer kernel, ip stack etc. didn't expect to see and didn't handle well.
The key thing about factory reset isn't the rom I agree, the code is the code - but it's the wiping of the configuration and volatile data - something got broken for me, and the guys at tmobile, and about 5 other users who reported the same problem - so whilst it obviously works for some without a reset, equally it didn't for others - for at least 3 of us (2 end users and 1 at tmobile) a reset was needed.
If it was a one off, absolutely agree, it must have just been me/my setup - but it wasn't an isolated case.
Personally, I was surprised when the 2.1 update didn't wipe the phone, I was expecting it - so in my case no real problem once suggested to me - others might have more dependency on the installed apps and config but for me this was an easy fix.
Either way, it's back working now - so if it works without a reset - great, and if it doesn't work, a reset looks to fix it - so great as well.

I have searched this and other forums and have not seen either this problem or an answer to it. Per AT&T's suggestion, I just upgraded to the new AT&T rom version that adds PTT and seems to have big problems. My current issue is that when I first boot up and connect via GPRS/3G all works well. When I get to a wifi area and switch to wifi, again all works well. However when I leave the wifi area (or just turn off wifi) I can't get any data via GPRS/3G. The balloon comes up saying it is connecting. The little "G" and bidirectional arrows in the top left indicate it is connected. However in the browser, it just continues to grind away with "Locating" in the bottom right corner until it finally times out and puts up a screen that says that the "page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost". I open the connection manager and press and hold the "Data Connection" icon until that goes off and try again, same problem. The only way I can get GPRS/3G data connection to actually work again is to reboot. Any ideas what is going on or how this can be fixed? Forgot to add that this is an HTC 8525. Thanks.
From your description I wasn't able determine whether AT&T's suggestion was aimed at remedying the issue, or if it's something that came about with the update.
Assuming the latter, you may want to try a hard reset first and run it for a bit before loading any other apps. Failing that, reflash the ROM. I had a lot of trouble with my radio when my 8525 was new, but it mysteriously cleared up after a few radio flashes.
Thanks but still a problem
Thanks for your thoughts here. I hard reset and reflashed.
Yes the firmware is the latest one that AT&T has suggested that everyone who had the older Cingular phones upgrade to. It provides the AT&T logo, the "push to talk" feature, and some other junk. I have contacted AT&T about this and their response was to send me a new phone that they claimed had the old firmware, since they have been getting a lot of complaints about the new firmware. It didn't have the old firmware and also it's SIM card reader appears to be broken. I called HTC and they said that they too have had lots of complaints about the new firmware quirks but had nothing to offer to solve them. Anyway, the old firmware had no problem switching between wifi and CGRS so I don't think it is in the hardware. On the other hand I'm surprised that nobody else is encountering the problem from the upgrade.
I'm having the same prob. Purchase three of these phones and the other users have little technical expertise. First I set up a sync with my office PC. Then loaded the ROM update. I run MAC's @ home had difficulty connecting to my home wifi. Finally determined that the 8525 would not accept the 13 key ASCII wep password. Needed to use the HEX. So I connected. Went to work and had problems syncing with my PC. Active sync had to rediscover the device. Now I'm back home and can't connect again. My Device ID changed names upon "resyncing" and I updated the Airport Base Station with my new name. I've spent a lot of time on this issue.. Maybe I need to send em back for an iPhone!
Well I found a solution to it
This is a great forum - though somewhat hard to search through thoroughly. Anyway the solution for me was to go back to ROM 1.34. Found how to do that through flashing from the micro card at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311704&highlight=cingular+8525+rom+version and getting the production ROM version at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades. Back to normal - everything works fine. Just for a trial, I also downloaded ROM V2.1.1 and it works find also - but sure seems a bit large - ends up with 42.9M of storage free vs V1.34 that has 50.25. Think I'll try the the memory expansion process at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298327&highlight=want+more+storage. That seems to at least provide a more than 9 megabyte smaller MBH file but I don't know what that translates to in memory usage yet.
Suspect there is a way to fix this problem but I haven't seen anything in the forums on it.
I thought I knew the meaning of "a love/hate relationship" until I got the Verizon XV-6800. I love having a syncing calendar & contact list, Office Mobile, WiFi tethering with WMwifiRouter, & all of the other software available for the Windows Mobile OS. Unfortunately I hate the durability of the phone. It seems it can't even stand up to daily use. I'm now on my sixth replacement which I've had for 5 weeks now. Suddenly it's having the same problem the 2 phones prior to this one had; dropping keys, not responding to input (keyboard or on screen,) & randomly resetting upon hitting the power button.
I'm posting this here not just to complain somewhere, but more to see if anyone has had any similar issues or has any recommendations. I doubt these problems are the hardware, so I'm starting to wonder if anyone may have dealt with similar problems by flashing a new rom. I've considered it for GPS functionality, but if it would solve these issues then I'd definitely be all for it.
It is likely a hardware problem. The mogul a becoming way outdated. I would upgrade if you dont have gps abilities. I would think that means you have WM 6.0 is is old itself. What is your carrier. Please update it in your profile so help is easier to come by.
Alright, updated that. I'm with Verizon. It's really annoying to watch them lock down GPS on their phones, only to change their mind, and open it up on other phones just leaving XV-6800 users hanging.
Gps is easy to get going if you have a data package. Not as easy if you don't have one. I can help you get gps if you need it. Also what is your rom version under device information.
Ya, I've got the data package, and I've had GPS in the past using Valhalla (until VZW shut it down.) I'd love to have it back! It looks like I'm running 5.2.19212 (Build 19212.1.0.3)
If you had vahalla before then you have MR1/2 then it is easy. Just install the serf cab for vahalla then *22899 and gps works again. This assumes you have vahalla already installed. If not reinstall vahalla first then *22899. Then serf cab then *22899. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3555579&postcount=703
Let me know how it works.
As I said in my initial post, I've replaced this phone many times. The last phone that ran GPS was maybe 3 devices back. At the time I had flashed that to MR1 & windows 6.1. Since then each replacement phone has come to me with WM6 loaded. My current one says 6.1, is it a fair assumption that this has MR1? I guess I need to reinstall the Valhalla stuff as you mentioned. I'm going to get started on that process. Where's the best place to find the Valhalla cab to get started?
If you see under rom version:3.57.605.1 or 3.57.605.2 then you have MR1 or MR2. You are then ok to install the vahalla cab the serf cab using *22899 after each install.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2936378&postcount=17
Ok, I'm using 3.57.605.2. I did install as you said; Valhalla, *22899, Serf, *22899, check location settings, check for active data connection. All successful, but no fix. Any suggestions? (I've been reading some other posts, and I'm afraid I'm running into the same problems.) Are there additional steps I need to be following?
I suggest you use HTC gps tool or gps viewer to check your lock status. Do you see any satellites come up under satellite view? Are you outside or near a window? And your location is turned on from 911 only correct?
No, it's still not getting a fix. Location is on, and the data connection is active. Still nothing. Are there any other steps I should try. I was reading some additional steps on the wiki...
I see that your running DCD 3.3.4 & 3.42.40. Since I've got this keyboard issue as well might that be another way to fix the GPS issue and simultaneously also the keyboard issue?
A new rom wont fix a bad keyboard. I suggest a hard reset and then install vahalla, then serf, then gps software. Then checking for lock. I have done this before so I know it works. Just for kicks try the vahalla cab attached because the link I provided could be different. I couldnt find a link for my version. Also I will ask again did you see any satellites under the satellite view for either gps software(blinking red dots).
The keyboard works fine at times; right now for example... I think the problem is software based. I'm just looking for a really clear how to on the flashing process.
I'll try working with the Valhalla cab you supplied, as I'm not sure if the version I used was the correct version. I know there's no uninstall for the valhalla cab, are ther certain files I should delete or just install over the old one?
Ok first i doubt it is software issue. Second why not just get another replacement handset, they are free. I dont know if installing the other vahalla over will work. That is why I suggested a hard reset. But if you dont want to do that now just get a another replacement and start with them on it.
Hi guys. I just recently had to revert back to my touch due to my Pre crapping out. I'm actually kind of glad it did now that I see android is working pretty good on it.
I reactivated my phone through Sprint's site and calling works fine, however when it tries to connect to #777 it is unable. I haven't used the phone since last September and don't really remember what rom I have on there, but I beleive it was one of NSFAN's (sorry if I spelt that wrong). I'ts definetly running Win Mob 6.5. When I last used it everything ran fine. My goal is to get evrything working, and then try out some android roms. Can someone point me where I need be??? Thanks!
I am having this same issue after switching from my TP2 to my old Vogue. The voice and text services work but I cannot get data to work! My Vogue is also running on NSFAN's ROM. I think it has to do with the EPST settings but I don't know what needs to be changed. When I switched back to the TP2, it initially did not have data working either, but after I updated the profile, it seemed to fix the issue.
Does anyone know how to do update profile on the Vogue that has a custom rom?
Please help =)
I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.
The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.
I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).

I have a Huawei P8 Lite since 3 months and one day when I wanted to share my 4G mobile data internet via Hotspot(which I do very frequently) it was not detectable in any other device I have. Also when I turn on WiFi it doesn't show any available connection (while in other devices it does show many).
Another question, considering to make a factory reset, the Huawei Backup system app does it backups apps and app data, like savedata and saved games???
Thank you to everyone in advance!!!
I had the same problem (with wi-fi hotspot) on any Lollipop based firmware (tested Play branded B144, B052, B170) - when moved to Android 6.0 beta - problem stopped occuring.

Thank you so very much! I would give more than 1 like if I could!
I'm disturbing you too much I think, but I will ask you for some details:
-The Marshmallow 6.0 BETA Rom it scares me just because of the word "BETA". Is it stable enough? Any big problem? Is it easy after to update to the Final Marshmallow build when it comes out?
-Did you had any problem with WiFi or just with the Hotspot?
-Did you root your phone? I didn't root just because of the possible problems when flashing a Rom or the difficulty of re-locking bootloader.
-About the Huawei Backup app, do you know if it backups the app data/savedata also? And about compatibilities when jumping from Lollipop to Marshmallow?
Thank you and sorry again for disturbing too much! You can answer only to the questions you know.

I'm using european 6.0 BETA (ALE-L21C432B524) and have not rooted the phone (I simply don't see any point in rooting at the moment). Xposed framework if working properly maybe could encourage me to root the phone but since EMUI is not 100% AOSP compatible - I don't see a benefit of using Xposed framework as I cannot predict which module will be working properly.
Going back to the 6.0 beta: System is very stable. I did have some problems in the beginning (I did standard upgrade via local update file). The problems were: callendar entries disappearing at random (and then reappearing), some other glitches with UI, etc - but nothing really bothering. All problems were gone since I made factory reset - so I DO RECOMMEND making factory reset after the upgrade.
Also - to be honest - as for the wi-fi hotspot - I needed this as from time to time I'm working from home and I need to set up VPN to my company each time (my internet provider however does not allow me to set up VPN tunnel). That is why I've tested few days ago if wi-fi hotspot option is working now (as I was unable to make it work on previous firmware) and... voila - it works just fine now And I'm able to work from home without issues.
As for the Huawei Backup - I haven't use this one so I cannot tell if the backup will work, etc (I have made the manual backup of all the data files (Music, Pictures,etc) before the wipe and my mobile is connected all the time with the google account so I didn't bother about making any backups of apps/contacts.
Good things I see in this beta:
- much more battery friendly (dual-sim enabled handset with quite a lot of calls is able to be operational for the whole day on a single charge (on Lollipop it was not possible at all)
- contacts and messaging apps are separated (yeah - I did not like that idea of having one app for everything as in Lollipop based EMUI
- contacts and messaging are not a battery hog now (on LP EMUI 3.1 they consumed 30% of battery each day and it was a pain to replace them with something useful as many apps on the google market just does not support properly dual-sim)
- in general the phone is smoother and feels faster
Bad things:
- lockscreen wallpaper seems to be stretched somehow and if you are making a theme of your own (as I am) - you would need to rebuild lockscreen image (fixed in B574!)
- double-tap problem seems to still exist (the problem when typing quite fast on ANY keyboard - you still get double letters, regardles of "gloves modes on/off" or screen protectors, etc, etc - Huawei support which I contacted - also confirm the problem STILL exists... but don't know WHEN it will be adressed... (fixed in B574!)
Neutral things (may be considered bad but seems to be unrelated of this beta and occur also on older firmwares):
- some software seems to be incompatible (but this also applies to LP based EMUI for this phone) - I had problems with starting up ExaGear Strategies (crashes), Winulator (crashes when starting StarCraft (but it seems to be bug with Winulator and ANY android newer than KitKat), fHeroes2 (colorful artifacts when on the "battle" screen, does not occur on map and on title screen - requires running OLDER version of fHeroes2 (downloadable from authors website and not from Google Play) and selecting 24 bpp color and smooth stretching) (problem with fHeroes2 fixed in the latest fHeroes2 update!)

Thank you very much once again! I really appreciate it! I would buy you a beer or a coffee.
The review of the Marshmallow Rom from you is clear and complete, and right too as you use it in work and me I'm just a student. Now I'm considering seriously to jump to the 6.0 BETA, as it looks more STABLE than BETA.
-Talking about the future and a possibly soon Final build of the Rom, do you think the update to that will be problematic or difficult?
-And you didn't had any problem with WiFi or you don't remember?

Always happy to help anyone (if only I have some free time)
Ad 1. Since I have no information about the official release it is hard to say.
However I see two options - either it would be possible to simply do the local update to the non-beta version or to do the downgrade to Lollipop (as per the official tool which is already available (you can search the XDA issues) and then do the upgrade again.
Ad 2. I'm constantly using wi-fi at home (due to the poor GSM signal) and I did not see any issues so far (I'm using 6.0 for at least month now).
Ok, small correction
I've tried today for at least an hour to create the Wi-Fi hotspot and it failed on 6.0. I've also tried on my fiances ALE-L21 with the same result - it was working for around 30 seconds :/
Previously I've also tried to work with VPN via Wi-Fi hotspot on this 6.0 but I (unfortunately for me) did not test long enough (just tried to connect and to run few company websites ;/

Ok then! Anyway I still hope a little bit to succeed fixining that because I haven't been trying to make the Hotspot work with VPN.

I had the same problem (with wi-fi hotspot) on any Lollipop based firmware (tested Play branded B144, B052, B170) - when moved to Android 6.0 beta - problem stopped occuring.

Actually... You've quoted my "solution" ... I just upgraded to Android 6.0 (beta build) but also works fine for standard (non-beta) builds. Currently I'm using B574 and works flawlessly.

What you may do is to try the following:
- check the compatibility of the device which tries to access the hotspot (you can test by attempting to access the hotspot from another device and vice versa - check this "non working" device by trying to connect to wi-fi via router, another phone's hotspot, etc)
- if the above not working and if you are sure that you are on B574 and you did not make any factory reset after the upgrade - you may try to make factory reset and try afterwards
- you can also try to take the phone to on warranty repair (maybe something is not entirely ok)
As I've mentioned - it is perfectly working for me (I have B574, unmodified stock, without any custom addons and without root), but since it is not working for you - I'd suggest to try the above in the exact order - or maybe someone will come up with another solution.
