Tethering Problem - XPERIA X8 General

Hey all, yet again ive hit a problem,
I flashed Alfs v005 capped fps, successfully and fresh install of GDX, i use WiFi Tethering quite a lot to Tether my PS3, my own PC (whenever i get the money to get a new one) and friends PC's, after i flashed it i was able to WiFi tether my mates laptop using Barnacle, but after a couple of days i now cant tether to anything, ive tried friends phones, laptops, xboxs, ps3s, the works, but nothing i try can pick it up.
So far ive tried using Barnacle and WiFi Tether for root users, with no avail, barnacle keeps saying "NAT: Restart: Network is down" but the other apps start up fine.
Does anybody know what is wrong? any and all help is appreciated.

Can someone point in the right direction where I can turn my phone into a wifi hotspot for free. I have tried wireless tether but doesn't seem to work, thanks in advanced.

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?
Sent from my Evolution
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.

Go to the wifi tether google code page and download the latest beta. Your netbook wont see ad-hoc, so you need wifi tether 3.0

I have a 1410 and it connects to Wifi Tether 3.0 release 10 without issues on stock EB13 rooted.
Thanks for the input. I have tried 3 different tethering programs, barnacle, wifi, etc and none of them work. I guess i will jsut have to be happy with PD Net for the time being. There is just something about this laptop. It sees the adhoc netowrk it just won't connect to it.
I have the 1810tz and it works great with Wifi tether 3.0.

when you tried Android-wifi-tether you probably tried the stable version..not the beta...download the beta here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre11.apk&can=2&q=
it should work...
I used Odin to put the phone back to stock. then I flashed the ROM to 2.2.1. Then I used one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5.zip to root the device. I then downloaded the file from the link above and installed WiFi Tether and it starts up. then I have both the WiFi Tether icon and an additional Hot Spot icon then the phone just freezes. Does it have to be ext4? I am a noob but learning.
Update: Went back ind rooted with clockwork 3.0.0.6 and converted to ext4 and changed the config to Samsung and it seems to be working.

Wireless tether on cm7

Has this been fixed yet or how would go about making it work?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Doesn't work and messes up the built in tether. As far as I know if you've used the wireless tether, the only way to get the built in tether to work is to reflash.
Built in tether is located here:
Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Tethering and Hotspot.
Wireless Tether doesn't work...have to use the native tethering app, or use barnacle tethering.
Native tethering works.

Can someone tell me what's the benefit of wireless tether over the native tethering?
I got the native tether to work thanx guys

^^What got it working again?
As far as WT being better, it has more options like being able to see who's connected and keep track of how much data you're using. But it doesn't work so it's not better
Wireless Tether will let you do so with 4G as well, native hotspot won't do 4G with the hack.
Wait, native tether doesn't do 4G? So I've been turning on 4G and tethering for nothing?
Is there a trick to getting the tether to work on 4g? I can connect but no data transfers to my laptop? 3g works just fine.
It works really well for me
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ions-of-wifi-tether-app-for-evo-21-wont-work/
I didn't want to start another thread, so I'll post here.
Has this been remedied? The native tether hasn't worked for me either. I've wiped data/dalvik/cache and still nothing.
Suggestions?
No problem with mine. Maybe its just the 4g service?

...4g native wireless tether works for me on the last released nightly, however, is useless for me to use as it is constantly disconnecting ( I tether to xbox)...I have no problems with sense roms as I just got done with gears 3 for 4 hrs straight. If I switch back to cm7, it'll disconnect within 5 minutes...hope it gets fixed soon cus I reeaaalllyyy miss my cm...
4g tether works fine with a sense ROM, but I really like CM7. It's worked for the first day, then it stopped. Would get failed error codes. Wipe, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reflash CM7 reboot hasn't done anything to fix the problem.
I've tried wireless tether 2.0.5 --> 3.1
None have worked. They would start, but get hung up at (download) speed: .4kbs and .1kbs (upload)
Does your native tether turn on after 'wireless tether'? Mine does, so on the top notification bar it shows both running. But it doesn't connect.
I'd like to get back to using CM7 (my favorite so far) but I can't since using the tether is how I get internet access at home.
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046764
works for me ever since i did it.
Tether, 3G and 4G has always worked for me.

Wireless tether problem with laptop

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

Weird, this has been happening to me today as well. WORKED PERFECTLY yesterday, data & everything is fine on the phone, but tethering has issues.

Fascinate and wifi tethering

As of last night im no longer able to use barnacle, wireless tether, or open garden. I've been running EF 3.6 since its release and just a week ago barnacle worked fine. Now when I connect it continues to say nat down and restarts. The only thing I can of is maybe I updated barnacle and its glitchy but that wouldn't explain why the other two aren't working. Out of ideas, and Im wondering if a noob like me can get some answers.

Have you tried restarting your phone? It could be that the WiFi is in a screwed up state. Enabling and then disabling wifi in Settings might also be able to sort it out.
Yeah I've restarted and reset wifi multiple times to no resolve. I think ill just wait until there is another update for barnacle then see what happens. Like I said though it still doesn't explain the other two not working. Any more suggestions though? I hate it when something works then stops for unexplaniable reasons...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
This is exactly what it says when I try barnacle. Nat:restart: network is down. Waiting for uplink interface....and when I try garden or wifi tether it lets me connect my laptop with win 7 (the only device I've been trying) and everything looks fine but no data is transferred. Soo weird.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Barnacle works fine for me, neither wifi tether nor open garden do. I know that doesn't help you resolve the issue, but it may hint that the issue isn't with the barnacle version.
Im thinking most of the success people have with OG/WT are on different phones or a previous version. I tried to install an earlier version of both and it told me that I had insufficient space which was complete bs. When I tried the latest version it locks up constantly and apparently hates it when you try to change a setting while the wifi is activated.
