Anyone having a problem with tethering with r6 r50 kernel? Need to start tether twice before it actually works. Then when it's turned off Wi-Fi won't start again.

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?

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.

My WiFi has suddenly stopped connecting to hotspots. It works just fine at home but for some reason it won't connect to the Starbucks next door to my work. Any help would be greatly appreciated

try downloading the advanced wifi configurator. or when u connect, go to your browser and accept the terms and conditions (usually hotspots have a simple page that lists the conditions, once u accept you will be able to use the internet)

What r u running on your phone at the moment, ROMS or Sony Ericsson firmware? That will help me and others what your problem is.

I'm using wolfbreak CM 6.1.3 v06. The only problem is that my WiFi symbol doesn't show up & when I go in the browser it doesn't take me to the page to accept the terms. So I use my data from my ATT plan. Sometimes it works & sometimes I keep seeing a pop-up saying WiFi autofix when I can't connect

Do u blade wifi fix on your ROM?
that might work.
Also, have u tried connecting through the wifi part of settings and search for a new connection. This might seem dumb bit try that. Not just letting the phone connect itself.

I do have the blade WiFi fix. I've tried connecting every way possible but still no luck. It now shows the WiFi icon in my status bar & it also says I'm connected to the Starbucks WiFi but when I open the browser it says I'm not connected.

Blade comes with the Rom.
To OP, try a different browser.

Tried a different browser, same problem. I really don't know wats goin on or how to fix it. Any other ideas??
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
so when you go to settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings, is the box next to wifi checked? and if yes does it show any available networks? If its off how does it respond when you check the box to turn it on. More details would help people solve your problem.
If its just turned off and you need to turn it back on manually everytime just put a power control widget on one of your home screens to turn it off/on easier.

wifi is turned on on my phone. when i got into wifi settings and look at the available access points, it says im connected to the starbucks hotspot. but when i open my browser(default browser, firefox) it says page cannot be displayed cuz i aint connected. ive tried everything i can think of. ive turned off the wifi then turned it back on, rebooted the phone, tried different settings. i just dont know why it wont connect to the starbucks hotspot next door to my work anymore. it works perfectly fine at home.
Thanks for all the help but I figured out it is the Starbucks that has the problem. I can't connect my ipod or laptop. I'm just happy its not my phone. But thanks again for all the tips

I've noticed with both android-wifi-tether and barnacle that even after I toggle them to off my clients (dell laptop and work iphone) are still showing they are connected to the AP. I am on EF02 with EF10 modem. Is anyone else seeing this?

Edit: Sorry I had to clean this up a bit. I posted this question in the nook color forums by accident and I think they moved it while I was trying to post it here...anyways..
Anyone else notice the AP is still visible after turning off a wifi tether?
Turn on your WiFi and then turn it off. It's a workaround, but it shuts off the radio.
That hasn't worked for me. I have to turn off the phone.

In WiFi advanced settings there is an option to keep wifi on while sleeping.

Mine has the same issue, even with it set to stay on during sleep.
I unchecked the wifi optimization to conserve power setting and that solved it. Somewhere on the google boards, there is a bug report on it.
I have the setting 'Keep wi-fi on during sleep' set to Always and have the Wi-fi optimization checked and my wi-fi has been flawless.
Going to try that now thanks

Hey guys, I have a slightly related issue.
My device just won't turn its Wi-Fi off when it goes to sleep! I've tried both the advanced settings of, while plugged in and never, and both are not working add evidenced by the battery graphs.
Any fix or solutions?
- As of now I've taken my device out of its flip case/stand, assuming that the magnet in it has something to do with the Wi-Fi remaining on.

I noticed when toggling on the mobile hotshot it fails to connect. When it turns off WIFI it doesn't allow enough time for it to completely get shut down before engaging the hot spot so it fails. Turning off wifi first fixes this. Another thing they need to fix.

If you use Hotspot Toggle Widget you must enable and disable through the widget. You'll run into issues if you, for example, enable through widget then disable directly through stock hotspot.
