so I have had the MT4G for about 6 months now and I have used it before and loved it but this past week I cant connect. Well I should say I can connect but my computer says I have limited connectivity and cannot connect to the internet. I have no clue what to do to fix this. any help would b awesome. I am rooted and running Iced Glacier
Didn't the myTouch 4G come out in November?
I also have this problem. Hope someone has an answer.

Anybody have any advice?
I need a little bit more information on your situation.
Does every computer have trouble connecting to the hotspot, or is it just one computer? Can you test it with a few different devices?
On the computer that you have trouble with, try this:
Run --> CMD. When you are in the dos screen, type ipconfig /flushdns
Let me know if that works. If not, answer the question that I posted.
I have also noticed that running some ad blockers will block certain websites from being able to connect when you are using the wireless hot spot. Removing them fixed any problems I had with it.
I had this problem as well. I even.called tmo and added the service for the support, and the did not help.
I wiped and pit a fresh flash of my Rom and it worked fine. Then I restored all my apps w data and it still worked fine.
Then I restored system data and I got the same problem.
So I reflashed and did not restore system data and all is now working..

My laptop running Vista connects to the myTouch hotspot but gets no internet. Then I tried with cousins laptop running windows 7 and connects to internet with no problems. Same thing with his Evo 4g.

Dns flush?
Did the dns flush and it still won't connect. Don't think it has anything to do with it. Any other suggestions?

My friend has a phone but its not turned on i have a rooted hero running cm6 i got the wireless tether app can he get on if i turn on the wireless tether app from my hero

You will be able to get a wifi connection on the phone - you wont be able to call or text - so basically its like an ipod touch -
and he can only connect to your hero if he's using one of the last few nightlies when they turned on the ability to connect to ad-hoc. Normally, an android device cannot connect to an ad hoc network.

Have you heard of punctuation? I'd love to help but I have no idea what you're asking.
EDIT: It appears you're asking if another person can connect to your Hero using their phone. That's only possible if their phone supports connecting to Ad Hoc wireless points.

Along those lines, does a kernel exist that supports WiFi tether in AP mode on the Hero200?
no drivers to allow that. If your friend is running froyo or eclair (doesn't work on all phones), he can use the wpa_supplicant from this thread. Then he can connect to ad-hoc
I am not home i will try it thanks

I've read all over the internet of people with MT4G phones being able to connect via the wi-fi hotspot.
I cannot. My computer picks up the hotspot, gets and IP address, and then tells me it cannot connect to the internet. All this in the network control panel. I'm on a MAC.
Worst case I can call and add the 15.00 package and get some trouble shooting then cancel later but I'd rather not have to do that.
Any ideas??
FYI- This happend when stock unrooted and still happening rooted with gorilla sense rom installed.
Thanks in advance....
do u have gorilla newest rom the 2.3 update?
make sure u search for a.rom that has the mac wifi connect working in the.changelog, i beleive its a known.issue...

I have the GS right before that... But as I stated I had this problem before rooting/flashing.
I can connect on any wi-fi direct to the phone, so far.
hmmm.not sure, try the new gorilla sense or check is changelog i think that was one of his fixes.. not sure

Try to Play around with the settings. i was having a hard time connecting via one of the password modes. The computer would detect the network and connect but I want able to do any browsing. Had to try a few different settings before finding one that works.

are you rooted?
wireless tether works fine. Try disabling encryption and/or access control and see if it works that way
Yes I am rooted but I haven't tried what you suggested. Thanks and I will give that a go.

OK, so I tried everything you told me about but it still doesn't seem to work. Here is my situation, I recently got an iPad and want to use my phone as a hot spot so I can connect on the go. The wireless tether turns on but neither my mothers eve or my iPad seems to connect to it properly. They do connect but it doesn't let me do any kind of web browsing. Thanks again for any help.
Which app and version are you using?

Works fine for me... Not sure what the problem would be. Sure access control is off? When you connect your pc, what color is the shield that pops up in your notification bar?

This seems to be the problems on a number of roms. They only way I've been able to get my wifi tether to work is when I've been bone stock. I don't know what might be broken in the process of cooking up the roms for us but something is breaking it. I get the same issue. It connects to my phone but I get no internet signal. Access control and encryption off. Tried changing the ssid and that hasn't worked. They've been tryin to figure out what the problem is on the IRC channel

What rom are you using...I have no problems running wifi tether with mikrom
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Again, thanks for all the help. I have tried switching to mikrom and still a no go for me. I have tried everything from changing ssid to trying different channels. Any know of just a rooted bare bone stock rom?

Not why it doesn't work but now I am on a bare stock rom and still a no go. I have tried connecting my moms evo and it just sits trying to obtain the ip address but for some reason it just never connects.

Recently my wifi calling app hasn't been working. It says that im not registered on tmobiles network. Im pretty much puzzeled by this cause I am connected to tmobile. I tryed all the basics unistalling reinstalling disconnecting from network reconnecting. Anyone have this problem? I installed it from bloater im using trigger 2.9.2 and also trying flashing the zip in recovery still same error..... help? -_- thank you Danny,

Not familiar with Trigger, is it 2.2.1?
Wifi calling does not work on 2.2.1.
No its 2.2 based, im aware it don't work on 2.2.1 -_-
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Some ISP's are blocking the tmobile servers in their Domain Name Servers. Try changing your routers DNS settings to openDNS's(google them) and see if that helps. I had to do this to my work's ISP(comcast) and my home ISP (Uverse) for it to work, as soon as I made the changes it worked perfectly.
Ok makes sense cause the error says sumthing about isp, and I recently changed the dns on my router ill change it back and see if that works thanks dude

I am using an Evo 4g rooted with CM7. I use the wireless tether to browse the internet and whatnot. Now it was working just fine yesterday, but today for some reason its a pain in the ass getting a page to come up. My data seems fine on the phone, not slowed down anymore than usual. I continually get "Server not found" errors. The only page I can load with any consistency seems to be Facebook (85% of the time) and Bing (loads everytime) I tried accessing Google Voice and it only works maybe one out of ten loads. Everything in device is working fine and nothing has been changed. The only repair error windows has given me is the "windows can't find the usual server microsoft.com" thing and that was once.
I couldn't find anything searching that was really relevant... anyone have this happen?
I've also reset both the phone and laptop pulling batteries in both. Reset my data connection... reset my wireless card.
This sucks.

Wifi didnt work for me on my laptop with CM7. it could not connect at all, but it could connect to everything else(kindle, psp, xbox) and no body seems to know how to solve the issue. AOSP builds can be unstable apparently so I chose to stick to optimized Evo-Sense ROMs and their stability, wifi tether etc works fine on these.
Its a problem in the way the aosp roms are built. Sense works fine tho. Are you using the wireless tether app or using the tether baked into the rom? Because if your using the app then there is a fix for it. You will have to give me a second to find the thread tho as I am on my evo...

Here you go. Try this. I haven't done it since I don't tether often but apparently it works
