Wifi tethering problems - G2 and Desire Z General

Just got my kindle fire for christmas and naturally put cm7 on it straight away. However my htc desire z (vision) is refusing to let me even turn on tethering. Just comes up with "error" when I try.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

it would be better if you give out some info... like: are you rooted? what app do you use? whats the exact error that you get?

Sorry, should have specified. Running cyanogenmod 7 fully rooted. Tried wifitether from the market and the built in system app with no avail.

You aren't on airplane mode right? (obvious mistake)
Bad flash? Try wiping data, if that doesn't work, reflash another cm7 release.
If it doesn't work after flashing multiple roms, probably something is wrong hardware wise.

Try that it works for me.

Well I use the stock app and T-Mobile says is free (for now). You could use other apps like Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether. You could also use the andorid-wifi-teather app http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/. I like the latter of the two the best.
If you don't use the stock tmo app, you should be fine... we won't know till Nov 14th tho...

ive seen a couple people saying they gotten wifi tether 2.0.5 to work fine (before permroot) but it doesnt seem to work for me (kernel does not support tethering)
How did you guys get it to work? correct me if im wrong but temproot/permroot shouldnt have anything to do with it cus its saying its the kernel... (unless this is the generic error message)
perm rooted, with s off, I just dl 2.0.5 pre13
Works fine...

Has anyone heard/figured out how TMo will be "stopping" tethering (update, account sync file, etc.)?
I will not accept an OTA (won't get one while rooted anyway) and have account sync turned off.

this ones a mystery so far... I just dont think tmo would announce the charge then make the change.... I would guess its already done (key word guess but who knows this change could of been made months ago... before the g2's release)
Anyone see a change yet or figure out how they are going to charge for tethering?

Error while searching for networks

I have a desire z with cyanogenmod rom. while roaming in other countries, i try to register with certain networks to get unlimited data, but this error always occur and the phone just reg me with whatever network is strongest.
I flashed back to stock rom and this error is gone so i guess its cyanogens issue. anyone has a solution to help?
thanks!
I've tried the same thing! I get the same issue. I heard you change the apns but I tried to put in AT&Ts and when I get to the last prompt it doesn't save. Id love to use a diff. Network for data because my signal in my work is poor. I heard you can't get 3G is this true?

Desire HD camera not working

Hi everyone I need help, I am not a noon to flashing etc. However my camera and camcorder have suddenly stopped working, everytime I open either one it just freezes at a backscreen. I thought it would be a bug in a Rom so I switched but It's not working. Tried everything ...if anyone can help it would be appreciated

If you tried another rom with full wipe and the issue is occurring the next think to do is to flash an ruu file.

It night be the kernel
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Fixed...for now...I switched to stock sense and it wasn't working, I turned my phone off for the night and when I woke up in the morning it was working. Will have to see if its working on other roms, thanx for the tips though

Have you concluded that the fix was leaving your phone off over night? I have the same issue and have tried a few different rom's none of which have fixed it. I was at the point of returning the phone to be repaired.
I guess I'm really asking, did you do anything else? Remove some software, try a specific rom?
It happened to my camera...but that might be due to the fact that the plastic cover in front of the lens has broken orf and the actual camera unit has taken quite a beating! Works now, I went for a run and when I came back it was perfect
Maybe the running jolted it back into position? Try the same thing xD
Could be that you need to go back to stock and make it like it came from the factory. I wonder if overclocking can damage the camera unit?
I just full wiped and went back on the stock rom, turned my phone off and woke up in the morning and the camera was working switched back to other roms and it was working on all of them.. Hopefullly this will work

if you have changed rom and the problem persists chances are it's hardware related. I have seen a dhd with similar problems, aswell as wifi problems and it was due to overheating. If you took out the battery it would work for a few hours but then it would do the same
Anyone still having any camera problems??

Im having this problem as well. Exactly like the OP. Not too keen on flashing back to stock rom however.
I did see someone mentioning problems with wifi in conjunction with the camera problem. I have this as well.
Anyone with a fix would be greatly appreciated

Cannot install Facebook 1.7 from Market

I cant install the new FB update on my DZ with Cyanogen 1.7. I get the message "This item is not compatible with your device. "
I tried resetting my pixel density to stock and checked my build.prop against a stock one. I cant see anything wrongt.
In the mean time I found an apk on google so I can sideload it, but still... weird. Will other apps start disallowing the Z soon?
Never heard of cyanogen 1.7 before

Its a bug with cm7. Reset your density, then clear market data, then do a full reboot. should work

I assume you mean "Reset your Desire Z" ... otherwise you have powers/tech/knowledge that I don't think even the smartest/richest people on earth have access to.
Your an extraterrestrial aren't you?
Thanks Jeff, that solved the issue. Now I have 22 apps to update, up from 4
