[Q] Wifi tethering doesn't work on any build - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi folks,
im running Android in my HD2 for 2 months now and the results are great! The only thing that aint working is WiFi tethering. I can connect to my HD2, it says connected but no Internet access. I also see and exclamation mark in my wifi signal in Windows. How can i solve this? Is there any solution?
I am using MDJ RevolutionHD 1.2
Hastarin's kernel 8.6
VBN Clarity rom
2.15x.x.x radio
Hope someone can help me!
Thnx in advance!

check the dns server on your computer. Maybe you need to specify it.

Your router may have "Mac Address" enabled.
Add phone IP address to computer.
Change your DNS settings.
Check my thread link for WiFi Tether app, WiFi Tether does not work on builds, need outside app to work.

When i download ur wifi tether app and press the tether it says: "Unable to tether"?
I dont use MAC filtering. And in windows i dont need to adjust my DNS. Do i have to do this in Android?

Make sure WiFi is on, yes, you may need to change the DNS settings on Android. When you scan for you device, does your computer recognize the signal? In "Wifi Tether" settings make sure a "LAN" is chosen.

not working...
Same issue here, have tried various apks, leaving wifi on, toggling wifi on and off before launching the wireless-tether app as well as the "android.tether" folder workaround (put it in root of sd), to no avail.
Connection is there but the connection is limited, with the exclamation mark, both on XP and W7 64 bit.
Are there any other settings that have to be made?
Is it something missing in the android build or the kernel!
I am on HD2ONE 3.6, Hastarin 8.6 undervolt, vbn reloaded 3.14 base and radio 2.15.
Thx for your help!

In your task bar: R click on the internet connection icon/open network sharing/change adapter settings/R click wireless network,connections/properties/ipv4: make sure the settings are set to automatic. Also, double check that you are not on an allowed MAC address setting within your router.

still no luck...
Thanks for your reply, I have checked the ipv4 settings on both my xp and w7 laptop, they were both on automatic already...
As for the other suggestion I am not 100% sure if I understood correctly, I have however unplugged my wireless router at home to make sure that there is no interference, unfortunately to no avail.
When I look at the log everything seems good, all the instances are marked "done" and the connection is established, it is only "limited"/"restriceted" though (meaning no i-net access), also the wireless tether app does not show any connected clients?
Thanks again for your help!

UPDATE:
still nothing working in rgds of wireless tether...
EasyTether works however, but with the ppp builds you lose connection every other second...

[Solved] Android and WiFi

I've tried several builds:
Darkstone Froyo
DarkStone FroyoStone
mattc Froyo with Sense
mattc Froyo without Sense
shubcraft
Xcelsior
mccm v1.7
WiFi just does not work at home. It'll connect, but I can't actually browse anything. It comes back immediately as a "page not found" error. Today I took my phone around town specifically to test WiFi on other networks. It worked perfectly on two open networks. There were no issues at all. It works at my office as well.
My network at home is wired as:
Internet --> DLink Gamer Lounge (wired router with special features) --> Linksys WRT54G wireless router
The DLink has DNS and DHCP services. The Linksys has none and is assigned a static IP.
My network at work is wired as:
Internet --> DLink Gamer Lounge --> everything else including a Linksys WRT54G setup just like at home
There is a Windows Server setup to take care of DNS and DHCP. The Linksys has same setup as at home.
At home, I disconnected the DLink, enabled DHCP on the Linksys, then my Android phone worked on wifi just fine.
I reconnected wired router and reset all settings. Android wifi doesn't work anymore.
I don't think my wired router is incompatible. I'm wondering if the wireless router not being the DHCP agent has anything to do it. Other wireless devices connect fine like this. My phone in WinMo connects fine. My friends' iPhones connect fine. My friends' native Android phones connect fine. Every wireless device (except HD2 Android) connects to the network and works just fine.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Is there a route tracing program for Android? Or something that will show me all the IP information (including DNS)?
Update:
DarkStone1337 said:
Because you have no DHCP on your wireless router, your IP address and DNS server and default gateway settings aren't being set by Android. No idea why. You'll need to do this manually in Android by pressing the windows button in the wifi network settings and setting the right values from there.

I just used an app to check IP settings. IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS, and everything are being set properly (there is a DHCP server on network, just not on WiFi router). I tried to setup a static IP address and other settings. Whenever I try to connect that way, it gets to "Obtaining IP address" and then fails, cycling through the whole process. Is it possible the code for IP stack (or IP Tables) in these builds of Android are not complete?
Update 2:
DarkStone1337 said:
Not an app, but using ADB logcat is sufficient enough.

Just read about ADB (Android Debug Bridge) briefly. I think this will be a bit out of my league. I'm not that familiar with Android / linux. I'll post in the other thread asking if someone else more skilled can grab one. If not, I'll see about trying to figure it all out this weekend.

On all of them, WiFi just does not work. It'll connect, but I can't actually browse anything. It comes back immediately as a "page not found" error. Today I took Matt's Froyo with Sense around town specifically to test WiFi on other networks. It worked perfectly on two open networks (Quizno's and McDonald's). There were no issues at all.
My network was wired as
Internet -- Wired router (with special features) -- wireless router
The WiFi router was basically treated like a switch with its DHCP turned off. I disconnected the wired, enabled DHCP on the wireless, then my Android phone worked on wifi just fine.
I reconnected wired router and reset all settings. Android wifi doesn't work anymore.
I don't think my wired router is incompatible. I'm wondering if the wireless router not being the DHCP agent has anything to do it. Other wireless devices connect fine like this. My phone in WinMo connects fine.

I just want you to know I'm in the same situation as you. My router is a Belkin Wireless N router (WPA2 encryption). I get a valid IP address and I can ping the router but no DNS or access past the router. There was an earlier version of an Android build (I think a MattcFroyo) that worked with my wifi set-up. But I need BT headset support and the Darkstone build seems to be the only one that reliably works with my BT devices. (BlueAnt T1 & Motorola EQ7)
Please let me know if you find a solution that works!
Thanks.
Sept 4 Update. The only version that I have found that provides both Wi-fi connectivity and BT head set is the Shubcraft version 1.4 for my router configuration. Version 1.5 doesn't and neither do the latest Mattc and Darkstone builds.
Hell, I can't even get my Wifi working at all. Darkstones V1... Wifi just says "Error". Have the latest zImage, and everything. :/

jinhenry, I'll let you know.
Shushunmire, are you using HD2Froyo or FroyoStone (clean or Sense)? Also be sure to post in Darkstone's thread that relates to the build. I know HD2Froyo v2 was giving error for wifi, but his latest update fixes that.
I tried various market apps to do network diags on the phone. All they offered was basic ping. When trying to ping anything on the wifi, it just fails right away. It's like it's not even seeing the network and just saying no network around. I even tried to ping the phone's own local IP and it failed. I tried looking for a traceroute type app, but there was none.
I installed Cirtex app. On cell connection, it pulls up the IP info of the wifi (but cell data works):
Device IP Address:{cell IP}
Interface name:/usb0(usb0)InetAddress:/{Ip of wired router, DHCP server, DNS server}
Interface name:rmnet0(rmnet0)Inetaddress:/25.1.238.x (don't know)
Interface name:lo(lo)InetAddress:/127.0.0.1
On wifi connection, it gives error:
Can not get te IP Address for the device. (errors their's)
Interface name:eth0(eth0)InetAddress:/{correct wifi ip}
Interface name:usb0(usb0)InetAddress:/{correct wifi ip}
Interface name:lo(lo)InetAddress:/127.0.0.1
If I use a static IP, and set the gateway to the actual network gateway (wired router, DHCP server, DNS server), phone tries to connect until it gets to the "Obtaining IP" stage, then it fails and cycles over. If I set the gateway to the wifi router (which is no more than a wifi access point) it will connect.
To repeat cause I know you have a lot going on: other wifi devices work on this network fine (using static or dynamic ips) including windows laptops, mac laptops, xbox, Wii, iphones, winmo phones (this one even), and even other android phones.
If I set the wifi router as the gateway (plug internet directly into it and turn on DHCP on wifi router), everything works fine. I don't even change its static IP.
Hopefully some of this will help. :/ The more I play around with it, I get the feeling the IP stack is the cause.
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM!!!! my lil bro got an htc hd2 as well n we got them the same day n when i flashed android on his and mine... his wifi was working while mine was not and i have tryed so many different builds but nothing solves the problem...it searches but at the end it says unable to scan networks....anyone plz help i really need wifi

have you tried setting the router to use G only? i had an issue with the newer builds on a d-link 635 that was the same, it woudl work then suddenly woudnt work at all, rebooting the phone didnt help, changing the router to use G only instead of mixed seemed to fix the issue
Here's my issue. On my phone I could connect to wireless fine, my two sons liked Android on the hd2 so much that we picked up 2 more hd2's, that's where the problem started. Any one of the phones can work on wireless just fine... but try and connect any of the others and while they do connect, they don't work. Any of them.
It's almost as if they are seen as the same device or something. Some kind of unique id is missing or something.

Didn't help Thanks for suggestion though.
unless it has changed recently, all HD2-android builds are using the same MAC-address. So this could very well be your problem.

I'm using FroyoStone (w/Sense).
And yeah, will do that. I just figured it wasn't working at all until I saw your post.
I use currently mattc 1.5b w/sense and had (have) the same problem with
DHCP is on. I allways got the status "Obtaining IP address" and nothing happen.
I played a little bit with the static IP settings...I set DNS 1 equal the the gateway entry and then wifi works....but only static.
I think this is a router issue...I use Speedport W 502V.
I doubt it's a router problem since all other devices work perfectly.
same issue, please give your attention, developers, thanks.
I've had the exact same problem with my Wi-Fi using several Android builds. Tried static IP and every possible setting I could find and solved it by add the Mac-adress in my router setting. (192.168.1.1) and now it works perfectly. I'm now using shubCRAFTv1.3
Hope you can fix your problem this way. Cheers.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I'm having issues with Wifi too. I'm also currently using mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5b. My problem isn't that the phone doesn't connect via wifi... it does. The problem is that after it connects the connection seems to go dead/times out after about a minute or two.
For example, after installing the build and running through the setup, i connect to wifi, then sign in with my gmail account. This all works as it should. Then by the time I want to sign in to my facebook/twitter accounts during that same setup sequence, it no longer can connect to the internet. My suspicions of the connection having a "timing out"-like occurrence was then confirmed when I turned off wifi, and switched it back on. Everything would work and sync for about a minute, then it would cut out again (but it would still show a full strength connection via wifi). It's a bit of a strange one.
I used Energy's build before trying this one, and WiFi worked flawlessly. So I'm assuming its not my router, but something up with my device and/or its settings.
Thanks in advance for any tips/help.

What do you mean by you added your phone's MAC address to the router? Where exactly in the router? Guessing you mean you set your phone to use a static IP, then set your router's DHCP client to always assign that IP to the phone?

I had problems before with a similar setup, and I can tell you that NOT having the DHCP on the router (gateway out) is the issue. You have to remember that "these HD builds" are still in development with WIFI issues still being ironed out.
My advice, try using fixed IP assigning (on wireless router) using the phone's wifi adapter mac address.
Right now your phone is going to the wifi router who will be sending packets to the DHCP server and back to wifi router so that it goes out. Also usually, there tends to be a conflicts because some DHCP clients just assume that the server for DHCP is the gateway too.
or... Check that your DHCP server (if another machine) is doing internet sharing, in case devices try to use its address as a gateway, which will then go out anyway through the wifi router.
The fact you report may be in my oppinion, useful for the devs (eventually), but dont get high hopes for this to be on the immediate to-do list

[Q] Making Android Froyo connect to my PC through Ad-Hoc wifi

What about AdHoc wifi support in MDJ Android builds (or others)? I am using 'MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.3 [kernel: mdeejay #15]' and in no way i can enable adhox wifi...
I looked around a lot, and i found nothing that works:
*) There is this thread that fixes the problem by patching the wpa_supplicant binary, and provides a compiled one to put on your android, but the mentioned file doesn't even exist on Sense Clean, can this be integrated? or how does it work?
*) This blog entry explains how to enable ad hoc on Samsung Galaxy, but it uses wpa_cli, which is also not present on this android build
*) few threads and blogs explain about how to enable this by directly modifying the wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf) and tiwlan0.conf (/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini) files, but seems that in latest builds this doesn't even work, and anyway, the tiwlan is not found in the mentioned location.
update to point 3:
as expected, ap_scan is removed from the conf file, and what i get is only that android tried to connect (Connecting to ssid, Authenticating to ssid) but then disconnects.
does anybody have a working solution?
If I am understanding your post rightly, you are looking for connecting your HD2 with the Internet connection of your computer, either WLAN or LAN fixed.
I have been looking around as well, as I am travelling a lot and in some parts of the world there is only plugged LAN connection available in hotels, so one cannot use an Android fone unless you want to push your roaming costs skywards!
However, I managed to connect the HD2 to the internet via my laptop with a free little program called Connectify and it is working flawlessly.
Works only under Windows 7 though.
Maybe this helps.
WinMo Goatrip 6.0
Android MDJ 1.3 Matted
MDJ S3 Kernel and very happy with it
SO, this Connectify will make you laptop wifi appear as if it is an Access Point and not AdHoc network, making any device connect to it?
Ok, but unfortunately it doesn't support my laptops intel wifi module (3945), that's the reason i've never checked what connectify really do. But i'll try with a usb wifi that i have.
Thanks for the tip...
Update:
Thanks !!! it worked !!!!!!
With an external usb wifi adapter that is supported by Connectify i was able to connect Android to the computers Wifi network, more than enough.
NO ROOT required!! - I am using MyTouch 4g with android 2.2.1
This is for anyone using Android who wanted to use Ad Hoc network to connect to internet (Android device connects to PC/laptop which is connected to internet) and couldn't because android doesn't support it ( Not rooted ). Here is a solution that DOESN'T require rooting the phone. I am running Android 2.2.1 and have no knowledge on compatibility despite my 2 days of research and eventual success.
Things you need: Windows 7, Android device and Connecitfy software ( link below... free version works just fine )
1. Update drivers for Ethernet and WiFi adapters in device settings... windows virtual WiFi miniport adapter should show up in the device list
2. Now startup Connectify: Create hotspot and choose password (uses WPA) and then start hotspot.
3. Now on your android device this network name should show up because its not Ad Hoc anymore. Its like a virtual router or hotspot.
4. NOTE: If google services fail on the android device. Go to account and settings and then sync now for your google login. Once synced, try opening android market and if it says authentication failed, try opening market two or three times more and it should eventually accept. If it doesn't... go find a solution and add to this post or create a blog.
5. Enjoy...hey hey wheres my treat!!

Yes I have the same issues, but he is working on another build right now. I am sure they are working hard.
You do not need a app for this. Go to Settings<Wireless & Networks<Tethering &portable hotspot<and then select USB tethering or Portable WI-FI hotspot.
I use this ROM and I use the Portable WI-Fi hotspot like all the time.

In that case then I think you either don't have the correct drivers for your HD2 to connect in this way which is a easy fix. Just go to control panel while you have your HD2 connected via USB and with the Tethering on. Then go to device manager and find your HD2 there, you will know it when you see it, then click on it. This will make it drop down then right click on the dropped down device icon and select update drivers and then get from internet.
If this is not the problem open ActiveSynce or WMDC on your computer and uncheck allow USB connections and see if that helps.
For me, it works with my iphone but not working with my Mac Book.
I had the same issue, just yesterday I found a fix the WiFi tether app(wifi tether 3.0-pre11.apk) the older WiFi tether apk files did not work correctly. The on-board WiFi works great. You will know when you get the right file, the icon color changed from green to yellow. I have been testing this out for about an hour now and all is good...
Also I can receive e-mails when I am tethering via the on-board WiFi or tethering app, but I can not send them. Does anybody know why this is. This is the same with all ROMS, so nothing to with the ROM (which is great) ...Any ideas on how to fix this settings issue...Thanks

WiFi Not working: WEP Security, Hidden SSID

Hello everyone!!
I installed NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.8 ROM in my HTC HD2, everything works just perfectly, but when I try to access the wireless at work that has the SSID hidden and password protected with WEP encryption the wireless doesn't work at all, it says: "Not in range, WEP protected"
I have configured the network manualy, with static IP Address, Gateway, Net Mask, and DNS (all required to be able to connect to the network)
I have searched alot in google and in this Forum, but I failed to get a solution to my problem, I have installed programs like "Wifi Advanced", "WifiConnector", "Hidden SSID"... But none of them solved my problem.
When I had Windows Mobile 6.5 installed everything worked just fine, but since I moved to Android I failed everytime to connect to the wireless.
My System:
- HTC HD2 (bought new, unbranded)
- NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.8_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)
- Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
- MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M
- HSPL 2.08
No one can help ?
This is really anoying
Am I the only person having this problem ?
No one have any idea how to solve this ??
Please help!!
Hi SmileXPT,
This is a irritating problem indeed. I use to have the same issue on some SD and NAND builds before, and the reason was the security settings of my router + MAC address filtering was enabled. It used to be WEP too, but nowadays it's advisable to use atleast WPA or WPA2 since it is more secure.
You could check if the router or accesspoint has MAC address filtering enabled. This means that the MAC address of your HD2 isn't in the whitelist of the router. In some Android builds the MAC address isn't unique, or the kernel isn't stable, for example: PPP is faster than RMNET but can drop out, RMNET is more stable but slightly slower.
You could also try Pongster's "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0" build. I use it daily with a stable wifi connection for Whatsapp. I never had a dropout with the connection.
But what I wonder is:
- does wifi work @ other places?
- does your HD2 see other accespoints in the list?

I know WPA and WPA2 are more secure... but because the network I'm trying to access is of my Company, I can't change the settings of it... The MAC Address filtering is not active.
I'm going to try the build that you suggested and I will let you know if worked.
Thanks again for your time!
Thanks mister.halfblood, the "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0" really works very well
Now I don't have any problem with the wireless
The only problem is... that I don't like the default theme is too dark...
Thanks again!

Hi SmileXPT,
you're welcome, no problem!
I use to have the same NAND build on my HD2. Also have a look at the latest GPS fix from Tytung's thread here.
It will for sure help you out getting a better and faster signal lock.
If you would like to change the theme I advise you to check out some skins for ADW, a lot of them are free to download on the market.
Well, I'm glad all has worked out for you! Have a nice weekend!
Peace!

[Q] I can't connect to Wi-Fi.

So after sucessfully flashing my HD2 to WP7, and obtaining a 25 digit activation code for Live Services, I go to turn it all on and it refuses to connect with my Wi-fi. All it says is "Your phone couldn't reach the Wi-Fi network wireless". I used to hape WPA, but i took it off so that maybe it would connect. But it didn't work. I even disabled the firewall, and the mac filter list.
My router is a Westel Model 327W (Provided by my ISP).
I currently have this rom installed. This is the second one I've had, the first one was the first one that was ever available, idk what it's called or where I can link to it.
Please help me! I can't get data, so Wi-Fi is my only option for internet! Which is my only option for installing apps! And its not working!
UPDATE:
So i walked down the street and tried to access 3 different Unsecured Wi-Fi access points (all of which I could connect to on my iPod Touch) and for each one it said "Your phone couldn't reach the Wi-Fi network ______". So now I know that the problem isn't in my internet.
Please help! I have no idea what to do!
Please someone help! I can't do a thing with this phone! It is so irritating!

Reflash the rom with maglrd, but have you wifi router switched off. once the rom is loaded, look into the wifi settings and see if you see other wifi pick ups.. Now switch on your wifi router. Do you now see your own wifi address! I had a similar problem, but that fixed for me, but also choose wep instead of wap.
C how you get on.
