[SOLVED] WiFi tethering app question - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey guys i had wifi tethering working great. But i went to change my build.prop to allow some games to work. But after that it, this WiFi Tethering app stopps working. Well let me rephrase that, it doesnt "stop" working like a FC. But when i start the tethering, it starts up fine, but when i try to connect any device, the device cant obtain an IP address. If i revert the build.prop to the original settings, then the app works. I kinda wanna keep this app and keep the edited build.prop. So does anyone have any idea what could be happening? logcat looks fine, and there isnt a traces.txt file. so im clueless. Im gonna email the dev see what he thinks. Thanks for your ideas guys!
EDIT: SOLVED i had to switch device profiles in settings, thanks to the awesome support from the developer! I really recommend this program! I had to select Galaxy Nexus in order for it to work!

How's does it work for you?
Aloha,
FreeWELL/tekahuna
I had to uninstall then re-install, now it works great! Nice job!!!
I looked through the apps settings, is there any way to choose Infrastructure mode or does it just do it automatically? Thanks.
I went from PDAnet to this, and my speed just about doubled based on the tests done at speedtest.net
NO DICE ApeX 1.3.1
Couldn't get AP mode to start no matter what I did after deleting the Apex one out of /system/app
I reinstalled, cleared data, and I get a message:
No Access Control!
Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access Control will be disabled.
Please see our FAQ: http://...........

I'm not sure what Access Control is.
I can test to see if it uses Infrastructure Mode later tonight.
Regarding the error:
Using GummyJar 2.5
Android Version:
2.2.1
Kernel Version:
2.6.32.9-g55626e1
[email protected] #1
SBF'd and OTA updated last night before installing the ROM.
I should mention, it appears to work otherwise, but again, I will check later. My laptop (corporate assigned) cannot connect to AdHoc networks, so this would be amazing to get working.
+1 EtherBoo. Same exact error, ROM and Kernel version.
kernel not supported
I get the same Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access Control will be disabled.. Android 2.2.1 Apex 1.3.1

Well, yes ... you guys get a message that "access control" is disabled because of a missing kernel-feature. "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC" is missing!
See: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
So yes, "access control" is unavailable for your devices.
But what do you get instead:
1) Infrastructure mode - your phone acts like "a real" accesspoint!
2) Strong WPA-encryption instead hacked-in-seconds WEP-encryption.
Your choice!
BTW ... if you want the access-control back install a custom kernel (if possible) which has above option/feature enabeld. Also include CONFIG_PROC_FS, CONFIG_IKCONFIG, and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PRO so that the phone dumps the kernel-config to /proc/config.gz and the app will be able to detect it correctly!
Custom Kernels are not possible on the X, and most likely won't be, since it doesn't look like anyone with the know-how is still working on hacking the locked boot loader.
This is my last Moto product because of it (even though the Atrix is making me wet my pants).
I was mistaken, it is using Infrastructure mode. As I mentioned, I wasn't able to test at the time, and thought Access Control was Infrastructure Mode.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And who cares about Access Control? It's not necessary now that we have strong WPA/WPA2 encryption, and of course a true AP with the Droid X and Droid 2.
Besides, I believe Access control relies on the MAC Address which can be easily spoofed since it's sent as plain text. You guys rock!!!
My wife just got a D2 Global. I have a DX and I am trying to get her a wireless tether setup. I also ket the same kernel message. Has anybody had luck with the 3G hot spot? I could use some help! Thanks.

Yes... just turn on 3g hotspot then toggle airplane mode on then back off and you should have free wifi... that's how I do it. Its encrypted and runs nice and smooth

You do understand that the "error" message has nothing to do with the normal usage of the program. It will work just fine even if you get that error. You just cannot use the "Access Control" portion of the program which was a way to limit the devices that could connect to the phone. However, as stated by other members, you don't need access control at all. Just use WPA encryption and a strong password. This is a more secure connection than using WEP and access control.
Thanks for the heads up
Do I need to turn 3g mobile hotspot on for wireless tether to work? I see the network on my laptop, but keeps saying it can't connect. Any tricks? Thanks!

Droid X rooted and Nook Color rooted. Works great! Solves the infrastructure problem Had to uninstall and re-install as directed, but that did the trick. A big thank you!

Do any of the tethering apps work yet?

I'm picking up my phone tomorrow. I was wondering if any of the tethering apps work with or without root on this phone yet. I know the more popular one requires a kernel with netiptables enabled. I'm not sure if the default kernel supports this or not.

I'm sure PDAnet works or you can just change the APN settings to use native hotspots without getting charged.
"native hotspots".... as in.... anywhere a 3G connection is available?

Like the built in tethering option and yeah pretty much anywhere you can get a data connection.
I got the Barnacle Wifi tether working without much challenge thanks to the Devs in the other threads. Could not install it from the AppBrain market but was able to follow the links to download the APK and install it from the internal sd card. Tried to get the widget to donate too,but could not do so from the market place.

Me either, this is my first Android phone. I did a search for wifi hotspot in the AppBrain market and it came up. My limited test with it was good. Used the APN setup from other threads and rooted the phone, also described elsewhere. Then downloaded the APK and installed it. A fairly straight forward process.
Problem with PDANet is the huge cost when I'd only really use the feature when traveling. How is barnacle wifi? Does it support encryption?
I am using a basic WEP key, not sure what you want out of the encryption. Better to check developers web site, I know there are some challenges but it is a little out of my league without spending a long time reading about it.
Well WEP/WPA/WPA2 type of encryption so someone doesn't steal my limited data. Does it support WPA/2 by the way? WEP is pretty easily cracked these days, but it is better than nothing at all.

Line 2 working on rooted motorola xoom

Hey there. I just wanted to let everyone know that I have Line2 working on my rooted Motorola Xoom. It works on 3G and I am making calls and texting. It requires another Android phone that can download Line2 and App Saver to package the .apk file, but viola, it works!
Props nice find
Line2 apk
Hey radiogodd30. Do you happen to still have the apk file? The Xoom is the only android device I have a this time so I am unable to download it from the ap store.

Looks all but perfect. I'll probably wait around for an official Android 3.x supported release, but it's good to see that something like this works. I'm sure I'll subscribe once that's the case.
Works on my wi-fi zoom too, in case anyone is wondering.
Of course you have to be around a wi-fi hotspot to make/receive calls, but I'm pretty much ALWAYS around a wi-fi hotspot, so it's a viable option for me.
On a side note, this is COOL! Making calls from a xoom!
radiogodd30 is awsome
That line2 apk worked perfectly. I am now using line2 on my xoom. Thank you
Its cool and all, but not something I'd pay monthly for. I wish text free would update their app.
I use Line2 on my Thunderbolt, ipad2 and zoom. Find that it works best on IOS devices.
Charlie
correction on perfectly
My xoom is only working for wifi. the dialing section of the settings tab is not there. I think it is because the app thinks I am a non phone tablet so doesn't need the option. I am guessing on that. I haven't found the configuration files that I hope exist on the xoom to make that change manually.
I know found tjat groove ip is a better solution to make or receive calls using Google voice so no monthly fees just the one time free of 3.99 to buy the app that's ot

Could be, but with line2 I get a ring even when my screen is sleeping and texting built in so it works like the cell phone I am trying to replace.
Anyone happen to know where settings are kept for line2 on the phone? apparently xoom is not at the top of the list of devices they are moving to support so tech support was not really helpful. from the conversations, it sounds like the app thinks my device is wifi only so does not show the dialing (use 3g/4g) section on the settings tab. I am assuming that there is only one app that is hiding that part of the configuration instead of maintaining two versions. IF that is true, there is probably a 'don't use 3g/4g' setting stored on my phone wherever they keep the configuration info.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RE-UPLOAD THE OLDER LINE2.APK file. I had to reset my Xoom and lost it and the newer one DOES NOT allow you to make calls on the XOOM!

That is actually the latest version....
The one you uploaded is actually the latest version. Can someone please upload version 1.0.2? Thanks.

its not working
Xoom speaker volume
I've got the 1.0.5 version, but am having speaker issues. It will work fine for a week or two then it will be super quiet. without any specific action that i can identify, it starts working again. Then there is the no phone on my 3g connection. only wi-fi.
Does anyone know what the 1.0.8 version fixed? And does it effect the Xoom.
And of course the obligatory demand for the apk to be posted. Does anyone have it. and Thanks in advance.
Hi
the link os not working please can send a new link2.apk

WELL IF YOU CAN PUT TOGETHER A APK TO DO IT PLEASE DO I WILL PAYPAL YOU 50.00 IF IT ALLOWS SETUP OF THE STOCK NEXUS Q WITHOUT THE FACTORY APK.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412329
HERE IS THE REQUEST.
You understood me wrong
I just created something for changing wifi configuration on "working" nexus q. It would not help to connect to not activated Q
If you can't connect to it yet or enable debug mode this would not work.
Problem I had was very simple. I needed to change name of the network I wanted to connect to and encryption algorithms
