Tethering won't work - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys...
Two days ago i formatted my device from wanamlite 2.0 to stock 4.2.2 (israel version ILO).
Before formatting tethering was working alright. And yesterday i tried to use tethering again but it did not work. I mean, i can turn it on, get a notification that all is well, and find it through the PC. Connct to it through the PC but thn it says "no internet access".
Needless to say, my phone does connect to the internet and all seems normal.
I tried wiping data through the recovery but it didnt help.
Hope you guys can help. I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance

[Q] [Help Needed] Unknown WIFI Problem ... please HELP

Hello Guys,
last night I was playing with GDX v017 and then when I turned on the WIFI it didn't worked ...
so I tried Full WIPE, install hotfix from GDX v014, and reinstalled the ROM Full Wipe

So in the end I Restored My Original 2.1 ROM with xRecovery
but here the worse the WIFI Was Broken too WTH, yes I cannot use my WIFI any more when I turn it on nothing happens
then when trying access the wifi settings the phone stuck 4 a while then reboot
then I cannot turn it off any more and it's On always but Unable to search for networks and now Bt can't be on any more, and when I turn on debugging mode the phone stops and the reset too.
I tried:
1- Restore 2.1 and Full WIPE with xRrec
2- Restore 2.1 and Full WIPE with CWM
3- even I used Flash tool and E15i android 2.1.1 http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5 (2.1.1.C.0.0 latest firmware)
4- Using SE PCC to repair ..... No luck with any
5- With flash tool I flashed this: (X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf) then used SEUS to repair and it updated my phone but nothing happened
6- reinstalled GDX 017 then used SEUS ........... still nothing!
it's not working Just like the old Problem
1- Cannot find any network or connect
2- cannot access the wifi settings
3- cannot turn it of
4- when try 2 access WIFI Settings the phone Reboot
Please I need Help

With seus it should work! Try to format sd card, then via seus reflash to stock android and try wifi, if its work then root your phone and try anything else.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
If your phone is new, then flash back original firm (2.1), then take it back to the store you bought it. It's maybe NOT a problem about custom Roms, but a hardware issue. So of you take back like its original and so, they'll inspect it for free (guarantee).

Unfortunately, it seems like real big problem !!!
I mean after all what I did still the same
1- now wifi, (and bluetooth now), BT cannot be turned ON at all, and wifi give "Unable to search ... " and give popup to force close dialog then whatever I Did the phone will reset
2- when turn wifi on cannot turn it off again ever
3- when accessing the Wireless settings, the phone freeze then (ask to force close or just restart).
4- when trying to enable debug mode also freeze but for sure it will restart.
5- tried to reinstall many custom roms (GB v0.23b, GDX 0.13, GDX 0.17[again]) then return to 2.1 USING SEUS again to restore original 2.1 BUT ALL NOT WORKS
(I shouldn't play with custom roms, now i realized that is 2.1 was good enough to me )
and I forgot to tell I got no guarantee on HARDWARE
it seems that my phone gone
anyway, really, thanks a lot 4 asking and helping guys!
hope me goodluck
Good News (maybe)
today I installed Hachdroid froyo 0.25
and turned on the wifi ..... it worked ............. yes, and the started searching for Networks .... and found one
Here when I tried to connect it after entering the PW every thing OK (Thanks GOD )
last thing saved with the PW Now when push Connect the phone freezes the ask to force close the wifi settings.
so it's not hardware problem ... right?
After spending about 4-5 days/nights by searching about this stupid problem
I got better Idea about what the hell happens.
1- this problem happened to many many guys with android OS.
(Just Google "Unable to start/search wifi android" and count....... damn)
2- the bad news almost 95% of people whom got this sh*t couldn't solve the prb.
(the other "5%" had luck by the grantee and replaced the phone or simply forgot that there phones got WIFI ).
As I understood that this problem is DRIVER ISSUES
Hi, I installed GingerDX v17 2 days back into my Xperia X8i. This ROM is working fantastic and with all function. One problem I found that my phone can not connect with Adhoc Wifi connection with my laptop. When I try to connect the cell tries for 5 to 8 mins and reboots automatically. But with my Wifi router it has no problem. Can some one help me?

I also have a WiFi problem!
I can’t get WiFi to work. Activating it in settings and it’s activated for around 10 sec then it is closing down (the green “check” is there for around 10 sec).
I can’t scan for WiFi networks. No networks is showen.
I use stock kernel and DingerDX V017 release. Other things works grate! Thanks!
as you can see in my thread I tried every thing I could do... but nothing works
finally, the last tow reasons that cuzed this :
1- Hardware prb but wifi works sometimes (maybe after 5days without phone usage if you tried WIFI it will works for about 15Min)
2- it's driver prob in terminal type: "ifconfig tiwlan0" it should give some lines or just said "no such device".
but no one found any solution for this
Just try google "unable to start Wi-Fi Android" you'll understand what I'm saying. Damn
i Read the whole Thread ..
Dude i really know how this thing feels ..
Yes i know it's painful :/ !
If there's no other way 2 Fix it at home
u just have 2 give it to some1 who can actually Fix it ..
like SE .. Or the store it self ..
it doesn't matter how much the amount of money u're gonna pay..
u just save your phone
..
i wish i could help u !
Good luck Bro

What is the difference between the three (99Tweaks, 99Xperimental, 99XTweaks) tweaks in the init.d package?

Problem with mobile data connection

Hey guys,
Need a little help, my problem started yesterday. I`ve dawnloader to try "TyTung`s NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich Beta10" rom. I flashed it, noticed that there are too many bugs and went back on my last rom- "NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a 2.3.7", also by TyTung, and after that I noticed a problem. When I`m on data connection and I try to login with browser to any website, browser just stops loading the website. For exaple, I tried to login to gmail, and I made screenshot for you what happened (attachment).
Tried to download new browser - didn`t help.
Tried reflash ROM - didn`t help.
Can anyone suggest me what to do?
Another thing I noticed after reflashing rom, that I can`t turn on or turn off my data connection by using "Power control" widget, it says "it`s only way to turn it on by going settings, wireless and networks...". I was able to do it before flashing. Is it related with my problem?
Thanks for any help ;

You could try my rom ;D so far I have got the best data connection out of it over any other rom. (And I've tried several.)
But I think your specific problem is not doing a task 29 before you flash.

I think Acer Italia recommend that if you have problems of this sort, wipe back to factory defaults and reload all your apps & data.

External reset switch. If no go try the reset under settings in the os
Factory reset did the trick for me. Started from scratch, but what the heck!
Btw. There is already a thread about this, there is also a search function.

[Q] WiFi and Bluetooth Problems

This is my first time using a custom ROM and I have experienced problems. I used the GingerIceJelly (Kernel) Custom ROM
When I first flashed my android:
its seems to be working perfectly at first. But as I tried the Wifi, I encountered a problem. I was able to connect to a secure Wi-Fi hotspot. But the problem was that it does not transmit data (internet). I have tried to connect to other Wi-Fi connections (with or without security) but still cant transmit data. Other devices that I used to connect to those routers where able to have internet/transmission of data.
After reading the thread again, someone suggested to have it reflashed. So I reflashed it again.
2nd Flashing of same custom rom: (followed the instructions obediently and diligently)
Bluetooth wont work anymore (especifically wont switch on). I have tried switching it on through the notification bar and at the settings but the results were the same. It says "error"
Wi-Fi problem solved but bluetooth seems to have problem now.
Thank you in advance for your help guys!

Well, I decided to reflash for the third time. Bluetooth now working perfectly and was able to send files normally. But the WiFi problem still exists. I tried your solution sir. But still no change. Wi-Fi can still connect but still no transmission of data. Same goes with the other networks I've tried.
Thanks anyway sir.

Wifi fix on ROM caused data connection to not work

Hi, i'm running AryaMod V7.2 on my Note 3. The first time I flashed the ROM, the data connection worked, but wifi wouldn't, so i installed the wifi fix using ADB and after installing that, the wifi now works, but my mobile data won't connect. Does anyone know what causes this sort of issue?
Im pretty sure its your socket and http connection. I think you might need to rename or erase your wpa_supplicant.conf file, save and reboot. Data/misc/wifi/wpa_sup is your path. I had the same problem with my wifi but just flashed a new ROM and that fixed mine. About an hour later I was told how to fix it. I've never tried it but I've had people tell me that tell you fix it so its up to you if you want to take my advice. Good luck bud
