Ok, I couldn't find anything on this..
I just got my mytouch 4g, unrooted. I opened up the wifi hotspot, and on my computer I clicked connect. It connected, but I have no internet connectivity. (That's what it says) I get the little error sign next to the wifi signal bars on my Windows 7 laptop. Just two days ago I was using a mytouch slide hotspot and it worked fine. How can I fix this!?

Give you are connected to the correct SSID and you've entered the password correctly.
either root the phone or buy the tethering package.
That isn't helping. It connected fine to a myTouch Slide. Anyone else wanna chime in? It connects to the hotspot, but it gets limited internet access.

I don't know what to tell you. EVERYONE else who has tried to use this feature it has worked correctly. So it's either T-Mobile blocking you, you are doing something wrong, or there is something messed up with the Kernel... the only other two things i can suggest is download VISIONary.apk and the Google wi-fi tether code from Here . And temp rooting to wi-fi tether your phone.
or
USE PDA net and a bluetooth dongle.... but you will not be able to access https sites after a trial period.
This had actually happened to me too...
1. Make sure you pwr off phone, power back on. Dont start wifi app.
2. Install useragent add on on your computer browser, change useragent to android or ie mobile or etc...
3. Delete all forms of stored wireless networks from your computer.
4. Turn on phone wifi tethering app, connect manually. Make sure ssid password are correct.
Try that?

Hi!
Bought a Tattoo for my kid and now we got a huge bill because the wifi seems to dissconects itself all the time and she is not that good checking the wifi state.
Is this a known problem or what can i do about it?
Using a Netgear N router and WEP (must use WEP because of my stupid XBox that can't handle any other security).
Please let me know how to fix this so she can use the phone!
I have this problem too, and as I found it's a known problem on net.
I'm using wifi fixer, which running as a service and reconnect everytime the connection drops. It's not a solution, but make things better.

Hi!
Thanks for the info, is that an app i can find on the Android's app place?
he he he.... did not notice your link Sorry!
Looks to me that HTC is screwing things up even with Android devices...
This phone realy sucks!
Me again!
I've struggled with this phone a couple of hours now but i can't get the wifi to work now.
I press connect to my network, i have entered the wep password but a couple of secs later it says disconnected...
What can i do about this?
I have the same problem - Is it best to configure the Wi Fi settings like IP address etc ? And if so whats the best settings for it?
I've managed to get it to connect now, removed an app that kept track of wifi traffic. But it seems to me that Tattoo does not use wifi when i use YouTube for example. Checked my providers homepage for traffic that we pay for and they had traffic for today. And the phone has not been used all day until my test this evening.
Is there a way to tell the phone to use just the wifi connection when using youtube app or explorer...?

install apn on-off when you use wifi, just disable APN connection.
then if you need umts/gprs is 1click enabled

Thanks, this sounds easy enough for my kid to handle when she wants to use the wifi and to be sure that it uses the wifi and not the expensive data from our phone company.
Thanks again! Will try this!
Trying to use Wifi Tether (google) app in rooted Vibrant (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=NexusOne)
Everything setup correct and works good on the phone itself. Laptop shows the connection as 'computer-to-computer' network rather than 'wireless network'. Although signal strengh is very good laptop just says "waiting for network..." and never connects. How to change Wifi Tether setting to show as 'wireless network' instead of 'computer-to-computer' network so that it will connect?
You should load the mobile AP patch instead. Works much better than the wifi tether app on the vibrant.

yes. mobileap is like 100 times better!
+1 for mobile ap flash.
I ran wireless tether app forever on my G1 and like this much better.

thanks for replying guys..i went to the mobile AP flash thread and read that you have to do clockwork recovery to flash it. I think when froyo update happens its gonna disable mobile AP flash?? I see people saying (and even Youtube videos) of using Wifi tether and Barnacle wifi legacy to tether from Vibrant. I tried both of them and they show as 'compter-to-computer' network on laptop and it wont connect.
You should delete everything & start from the beginning. If that doesn't work then try it on someone else laptop to see if that's the problem if not is your phone. Maybe is a problem the way u rooted your phone. If it continues doing it on the other laptop u are testing it. Most deff is your phone.
Froyo has wireless AP built in by default. We have yet to know if T-mobile will disable it. If they do, someone will just hack it back in.
Interesting. I prefer wireless tether. I think it works much better than the MobileAP.
So this turns out to be an issue with my laptop. Laptop is not able to connect to ad-hoc (computer to computer) wifi networks. Both wifi tethering app and Barnacle worked on a friends laptop. Got around 2 Mbps from T-mobile 3G.
I did have to update the driver for the wireless chip on one laptop to support ad-hoc networks, but it was worth it. If you're interested, check your wireless chip manufacturer's site for a newer driver.
The TMO sales-droids told me that the froyo update would enable the wireless hotspot (MobileAP), but who knows till we actually get it. Even if it does, if it works like the MobileAP does now, I'll continue using wireless-tether.

MobileAP didn't work for me. Win7 showed no internet activity.
Wireless Tether on the other hand worked perfectly, so YMMV.
Does anyone has a problem while using mobile AP while the connection is steady but after the screen dims or locks up the speed slows down and sometimes cut off the tether to the device? would there be anyway around this?

I have a question about tethering I'm trying to use the wifi for my gaming console (ps3). It doesn't recongize the ip address. So will it recongize it when the update comes or will it not work for gaming consoles.

maybe a dumb question but i rooted girl's vibrant and flashed mobileAP which worked great the first day. i couldnt get barnacle or google's wireless tether to actually connect to anything. But now she's trying to use it today and it won't connect due to DNS issues. Would it be the phone at fault or the laptop? I already tried refreshing the IP using command prompt but it didn't help.
Does anyone have wifi tether working on windows 7x64? I have tried that and barnacle and my comp can see them both but times out while trying to connect. Sits there for several minutes and says it can't connect.

I had an problem connecting once, but realized that when i was doing some work with vpn's and ports i decided to disable adhoc on my personal wireless card.
To see if it may be disabled on your machine click on start menu, right click computer and go to manage, then click device manager, under network adapters find your wireless adapter and right click and go to properties. Now go to the advanced tab to see if there is anything in there that says adhoc and if it is possible to enable it....
Like I said, I managed to disable mine and all it took was a re-enable to get it back working correctly.
Good luck either way.
Mine works fine too...make sure you are running the latest version of Android Wifi Tether (pre9 - pre13 generally work)..also try running the Internet browser on the phone after you connect.
Also if you are not on Froyo there is the Mobile AP option for Infer-structure tethering.
Working here too. I'm using the SyndicateROM 1.02. It comes with wifi tethering pre11.
The steps I took:
1) Renamed my wifi SSID
2) Added a security key, 13 characters exactly
3) In Win7x64, I manually added the wifi and for the security key, I chose WEP and entered the key.
I could be on 3G or 4G and wifi tethering works without a hitch.

Does your laptop have an Intel card? I am unable to connect with my Intel 6200-based WiFi adapter on my Sony Z. It worked ONCE a while back, but updates seem to have messed this up rather permanently. Other machines that aren't based on Intel seem to work quite peachily.

I personally haven't had any issues and I'm on TMo UK. Have you tried enabling it both ways? From the wireless settings in the settings menu and from the app in the app drawer?

When I connect, it takes about 5 to 8 minutes until I can get access. Try leaving it connected for a while.
on tmobile uk too and no issues here. start the hotspot, search on the laptop for the wifi name and enter code.
Maybe post the steps you have done so far so people can try and see whats wrong?

Select Hotspot app
Inputed router name and security code WPA(TKIP) 9 letters
Selected checkbox 'Portable Wi-fi Hotspot'
Searched on laptop for router and inputed WPA
Laptop connected
Started internet app like firefox
On phone in the notification area the hotspot '3G' text (not the symbol) keeps dropping after a few mins and reappears
Ok sorted I think there was a problem with the apn I removed user and password entries and all sorted.

Has anyone got Mobile Hotspot to work on their MS2 after the upgrade to Gingerbread?
I've been having problems - Tte MS2 properly assigns an IP address to PCs that try to connect to it over WiFi, but the connection doesn't seem to go past my MS2 to the Internet. Same thing whether USB or WiFi.
I'm on T-mobile on the USA - could that have something to do with it, some kind of authentication is being performed now (that wasn't being performed on Froyo?)
I had this problem too.
Now I use the app "barnacle wifi tether" and it works fine.
I'm from Brazil...

Thanks for the suggestion. If I root my phone I'll consider that option. Has anyone found any other fixes? I tried playing with the APN settings as suggested by some online, but it doesn't seem to help.

Usb sharing is f*d up - dnsmasq does not launches properly and phone gives no IP in response to dhcp req from pc. I don't remember, if setting an IP and gw manually solves the problem.
However launching _both_ sharing method at once helped. DHCP worked fine. Maybe launching wifi hotspot alone generates similar problem?
Did a factory reset and now Mobile Hotspot works!
Haven't tried USB tethering yet, will report back when I do.
Great! I also had this problem and this tip helped me.
Mobile Hotspot works but haven't got USB tethering to work properly yet. The computer can get an IP address from the phone, but no connection through to the Internet. This is after the factory reset.
Same with me here.. Already did FR but still no go..
Old thread I know but anyone sorted this yet, as its doing my head in, I even changed to a tethering plan in case i was being blocked.
Barnacle Tether doesn't work either same symptoms also says DHCP:Could not bind to DHCP port Address already in use

Could it be your carrier blocking 3G tethering?
Hi
3G tethering is not blocked by carrier as I am on a tethering plan and have spent a long time on the phone to an Indian call centre to sort it.
But joy of joys after trying everything I could think of including re-flashing and wiping all data etc. I have managed to get it working using wifi tether for root user
