Hi everyone,
I've tried several different ROMs for my Canadian i337m device (e.g. SlimRom, Illusion, CM, Goldeneye, Pacman, Revolt) and the only one capable of sharing my 4G connection with my laptop through is Revolt. This is after about five hours of testing and tons of flashing. I certainly "forgot" the network after each test from my laptop so the connection would be fresh each time. I've tried using various levels of security, including none. My laptop can see the AndroidAP signal and get five bars, but then internet just never loads (except with Revolt, and with stock firmware too). FWIW, I'm on Win7 64bit and I have no driver issues.
Very strange! I've tried flashing a "better tether" fix, but that breaks ROMs (they won't boot, because it's specifically for a certain ROM). I've tried reflashing the stock kernel after each ROM flash, but more often that not that just breaks the ROM flash (stuck in boot). I don't know what to do except use Revolt, which isn't a bad compromise (better than stock) but TBH, I like Illusion's UI navigation transitions so much that I'd like to use that ROM.
Any ideas? Maybe there's a way to slipstream the stock ROM's MobileAP files into another ROM? (Probably not, because stock's settings panel is completely different from other ROMs', but just an idea.)
Thank you for reading.

I am encountering the EXACT same issue on my Rogers Galaxy S4, tethering works with stock firmware, but nothing else, I even called rogers and had them remove and readd the tethering flag on my account. The APN settings on the TW (stock) firmware are exactly the same as the settings on the custom ROMs. Wondering what is missing here.
Howdy,
Found the solution to my tethering issues, simply go to the Play Store and search for this app:
ISWAT Tether Unlocker Free
There will be a rather obnoxiously loud app that will play before it performs the operation to unlock your tethering, but afterwards, it works as it does with the stock ROM. You're free to uninstall the app afterwards and you'll retain your tethering abilities

Glad this worked for you. It's still working for me, but not quite as well, I have to rerun it everytime I restart my device now. Not quite sure why or what it does in the backgroud to enable the tethering.

Hmm, I also need to re run the app after every device reboot.... Oh well at least it works.
OMG thank you, I've been looking for something to fix this for a few weeks now but this did the trick. That ad for bigfish casino was really loud with my speaker mods, but hey, it works so it's good enough.
thanks again

Hi, I have used many ROMs to find out what is best but after some use of most ROMs (all froyo), I have noticed that no matter what I do, mobile internet won't turn on. It usually happens after the second reboot and various methods of toggling the mobile internet fail toturn it on, even when they say that the internet is connected.
The problem is that I have decided that my favourite MOD is a 2.2 (froydvillain) and the fact that I have no internet is not helping.
Basically, can someone help or is it a Hardware fault?
-- will updating my Radio help?
Hmmm, strange. I have no idea why it works first but then stops after a few reboots, I'm using FroydVillain and internet is 100% ok.
Yeah it is always recommended to have the latest radio,... give it a try, cant hurt can it, and you can always roll back to an older one if the update causes issues.

I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.
fyi:
Works fine on stock rom
home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.
I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.
Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)
So... ideas?

A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!
Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.

Thanks for the heads-up on that, I just thought my bluetooth was being retarded.

If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.
edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS.
The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.
I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.
I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).

So im on Syndicate rom 1.0.2 and i like it alot. its realy fast and smooth. but ever since moving from 1.0.1 the wireless tether app (3.0.9) doesnt work. When i launch the app and click to start tethering it starts initiating the process but freezes right where its trying to use the hotspot and then it makes the phone reboot. Any other verion of this app will FC. Can some one help please? i have reflashed the rom properly a few times and that didnt help. I also tried the tether fix file that k0nane had on his thread and didnt fix anything either. I tried downloading the hotspot fix from Syndicate page and those links dont work anymore. Can some one please help?
EDIT: i have it set on epic 4g in the settings.
Also does any one have a way to fix the tws bug? (i do know the airplane mode trick but was looking for a fix not a workaround)
thanks eveyone in advance....k0nane, thank you for your hard hard work bro
You mentioned 3.0.9 - I assume you mean -pre9. The version included in SRF is 3.0-pre11. You probably shouldn't have flashed that fix, either, because it was for 1.0.1 only.
I'd suggest you remove any copies of the Wireless Tether app you've installed, and reflash 1.0.2. You won't lose any data. See if it works for you then. If it doesn't, uninstall the preloaded version and try others. Wireless Tether is a finnicky beast, but that's expected - the 3.0 branch is experimental for a reason.
Thanks. I will try that and get back to you. And yes I meant the version that came with rom. I will try and get back to you.
Hey I tried everything in your instructions and still the same thing. I knw this wireless tether thing is in experimental stages but it worked fine on 1.0.1. I actually wasnt able to use the pre10 on that rom version so I had downloaded the 2.0.7 version and that worked fine. Do you think it might have to do with the hotspot app ? because i notice wireless tether freezes and phone reboots when its trying to launch hotspot. I notice from the notification when hotspot becomes activated the phone freezes and reboots..
Issue resolved
Well, thank you for your help again. After trying every thing from flashing the rom to uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless tether app I got tired and almost gave up. Then I started playing with the app settings and it turns out that choosing the LG Optimus under Device-Profile is really stable and works the best for me, so far no issues.
I was going to say i had issues which were resolved by selecting EPic 4G(my phone ) in settings. I was able to launch and see it but did not have internet access until i selected my phone as well.

I also selected Samsung epic but this did not work for me. what worked was LG Optimus! it is strange but it works ;-)
I didn't have to do anything and it worked fine for me. I set up Security on it but that's it. Especially with all the ROM flashing I wonder why your phone seems especially finicky. Good luck.
I had errors similar to this when using the app, my problem was that I had 4G turned on already when launching the app. Turning 4G off, launching the app establishing a connection and THEN turning on 4G works perfectly though.
mine would not work either I went to settings and changed my device profile to epic 4g and my set up method to softtap for samsung. that seem to do the trick.
It seems like the remote control app is working fine for everyone else, but mine shows no devices found when I load it on my (refer to phone in sig). Anyone else having trouble?
Did you set Remote Control Settings on your Archos to Discoverable?
Settings> Wireless and network settings> Remote control settings> Discoverable> check
Of course. I checked all obvious issues, including firewall. Still nothing. The app doesn't even seem to search for devices. It opens in less than a second and immediately displays "No Devices Found". There doesn't seem to be a long enough pause for it to really be searching.
Did you reboot both devices? I had to do this to get it working.
I have the same problem. What phone are you using? Im using the Tbolt.
Yeah, both devices have been rebooted multiple times. Can people with it working post whether they are using the developer edition root method, and if so, what kernel?
@Richpopski123, check my sig. HD2 with nandroid.
Maybe the problem is, that you guys run a rom/mod on your phone?
Or maybe its the kernel?
I just put android on my old Touch Diamond just to test, and it works fine on that. Damn thing is 5 years old. Obviously it's the phone then. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the wifi Hotspot.
@Richpopski123: Do you have wifi hotspot?
@Lennb: I wish I could run without a rom, but it's a WinMo phone, and I can't deal with WinMo. Everything else in Android has worked perfectly, even usb tethering. Also, that old Diamond is WinMo running a droid rom, so it's not just the rom factor, but the type of rom, or something included with the rom.

okey, didnt know that
is there another rom to port android to the HD2? maybe this would work.
oooor.. have you checked you're firewall settings, if you have one?
Thanks for the help. Firewall settings are good, and I refuse to use any other Rom on my HD2. Nothing beats this one. Though, I may have to back it up with CWM and try some others. It's gonna take some serious time though.
It looks like there is a problem with UDP traffic on the phone. I get no udp traffic with any apps. Now I just need to figure out why.

New remote app .. doesn't work
I have installed the new fw on my Archos 70 and made it 'discoverable'. I have installed the Archos-app on my Samsung Galaxy S(i9000) and they are both on the same wifi network.
But my Galaxy doens't see the Archos. "no devices found'. Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong?
This is a brand new unrooted Mytouch 4G, so I suppose I haven't done anything wrong yet. =P
I tried the wifi connection on this phone, and it usually works great. But I later found out the it's not very stable. I carry this phone with me and walk around the campus, it doesn't always receive wifi signal like my iPad would always do. Also, sometimes even when it shows that I am connected, the internet based software such as skype will not work (making phone call without hearing any voice).
Is there a software/app that can help? Or maybe I should root my phone for a better version of operating system?
On the stock ROM and all Sense ROMs, there is an option under WiFi Settings -> Advanced -> Best WiFi Performance. Try selecting that and see if it makes a difference.

WOO! lol i found someone in the same boat as me...I go college as well and my ipad connects fine, but my laptop and phone (for some weird reason do not). Ive tried a whole variety of differernt rom and kernel combinations including stock, but nothing would work. I really really really wanted to stay stock on my phone because I like it so much, but it just wouldnt work. Then I tried the evil 4g HD rom with fauxs sense smartass kernel and suddenly wifi was working amazing! It connected as soon as I clicked turn on wifi and stayed connected throughout the day even though I was walking around campus. Plus the rom has sense so its not straying too far from stock! I dont know what the reason is, but you should give it a go and see if it works for you!
I finally determine to try your method. I can't find evil 4G HD rom. Did you mean Evo?
