So I've been trying to use wireless tether, both Wireless Tether for Root 3.0.7 and Barnacle, but lately its been hit or miss on their success, and hardly at all if its more than one device.
My main issue is with the verizon 4g hotspot app, Im unable to start it, and it causes wifi errors. When I start it, it goes through the provision and doesnt give an error itself, but then the hotspot checkbox to turn it on/off will be checked and greyed out, and never return to normal. If I go into wireless settings, wifi just reads Error, and I have to reboot to get it back to normal.
Anyone have any expertise on fixing or reinstalling the app? I think the main issue is when I was a bit callous after rooting it and trying to remove bloatware and I did something to break it, and through factory resets it doesnt do anything. Any help is much appreciated!
P.s. I wasnt sure where this should go, so I thought this might be a fair starting point. Mods: Feel free to move as you see fit

I have had my diamond for about 2 weeks now and the wifi worked fine for the first few days I had it. I did a hard reset to fix another problem and then after that the wifi didn't work. I may have changed a setting but I don't remember. I have looked at every setting that there is and I can't figure out everything. I know that there should be wifi working because I use it on my ipod and laptop. I have tried putting my battery to performance, but that didn't work. Any suggestions of what I can do or try?
you tried the usual? restart ur wireless AP/router? delete the connection on ur diamond, try redo it, does it pick up your wireless AP/router?
Does bluetooth work ok? If not, then its a hardware fault and would need to be repaired.
Yes, I have tried your method beany and my bluetooth works, I just tried and it works fine. I can not get wifi anywhere. My house's wifi doesn't work, and at the gym, it doesnt work. No networks at all even show up. I need a solution.
Go to Settings>Connections Tab>Wlan>Power Mode> Slide the slider to the far left (Best performance). Should fix it
happened to me too the first few times, even when holding the phone up to the antenna of the router it wouldn't connect. i don't know why the "best battery" option is even available
Yes, I know that. That was the first thing I ever did. It didn't help. No wifi shows up anywhere. Is there any settings that I may have changed in Network adaptors?
I need something because it is so annoying with no wifi.
same problem here. No Wifi... But Bluetooth works OK
Maybe some radio patch or something??
I really don't know what to do anymore. My Iifi stop working without reason. I saw some topic about it but it seems nobody now how to fix it.
Please, help me.
I have already updated everything, it works randomly if I reset my phone.
Thanks
Ok I'm a moron.
I accidentaly told my nook to forget a wireless network and now I can't get it back. I've looked all through settings and don't see anything that would allow me to reset this. I've tried scanning as well.
I'm running gingerbread the CM7 mod.
Sorry I tried searching but when you look for something like 'resetting' you get a lot of threads about resetting back to stock which is not what I want to do.
Is there a way to I don't know purge the wireless settings so it will search for networks that it has been told to forget?

When you tell it to forget it doesn't blacklist a Network, it just Removes it from your preferred Networks and forgets the Password. It should reapear on the list of Available networks if in Range.
If it won't show up even when standing next to it do this.
-Download Wifi Analyzer from Market.
-Open App Punch Menu and Tap View. Select AP List.
-Look for the Network and Tap it. It might prompt for a Plugin from Market. Just Download and continue.
-When Window pops up put in Password and hit Connect. TaDa it should now work.

Well I don't know if its a glitch in system or the mod itself but when I got home my nook wouldn't connect to my home network either. It kept saying I was out of range even when I was sitting in the room with the router.
So I ended up just reinstalling gingerbread. My instal was only a week old do no real biggie for me just annoying.
Ill just make sure not to ever forget a network again as it apparently Jones up my system
Thank you for the advice though.

Hey I have the same problem going on right now. My system wont connect to anything. The wifi status just keeps saying connecting and then will eventually turn off. I think I am going to use this as an excuse to try out Deeper-Blue's Honeycomb preview.
I've tested this with a3.5, Xron and Miui and they all get this problem. Maybe installing certain apps trigger this to happen but wifi will eventually slow down when trying to connect to a signal and will be essentially non functional since the OS will basically freeze and then tell you to force close wifi and it requires a wipe and fresh install to fix.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Check this and see if it helps you.

I don't think its the same issue. In those instances you can still try to change which wifi signal you want to connect to, I think it just loops from connecting and it would disconnect. I think this issue is common and dropped connections occur as well.
But I'm talking about a situation where if you even try to enter the wifi options it will force close.

Before I changed it, it would take forever to get it to release the connection. I just kept hitting "Wait" rather than "Force close" it would take several minutes but would eventually come up and allow me to Forget the network.
It sure sounds like the same, not saying it is, but very similar.
I experienced this problem for the first time yesterday in area where was about 20 WIFI networks. Never ever it happened in my house on A2. A3 A3.5 or XRON2.8
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13779-now-i-believe-that-there-is-wifi-problem/
I have the same issue today, Wifi setting is forced to close, and cannot connect to any Wifi signals. I think it's a bug and it related to the time or date. Because I didn't do anything and it just happened.
No new apps install, no setting changed, and the device was keep on, so it just happens.
Hope someone can find out where the problem is...so sad this happen on New Year's eve....
i have this problem also, the solution i found was letting the touchpad go dead and than begin to connect wifi again.
Similar wifi comments here: rebooting [or maybe toggling/other disconnect] with wifi on/remembered would get it into a state where it was scanning and connecting over and over without really ever working. this was only happening once it was 'remembered'. Going through the wifi settings to forget in this state involved hitting 'wait' a few times and then i'd reboot and readd. 1st wifi connect is always solid for me.
I've found: market.android.com/details?id=com.brilliapps.wifiandmorefixer
Does the same thing except it is one click. I rebooted after the first go, but now no longer. i run this and then readd wifi - all set.
As a preface: I am on JB build .489, rooted with CWM recovery installed. Locked bootloader so there is no custom kernel. I have removed bloatware and installed Xposed Framework, but have not done anything to affect the internet settings.
Now on to the actual problem:
Last night I was on the internet when my phone ran out of batteries. I stuck it onto the charger, offline charging was working fine etc.
Then when I turned the phone back on there was no internet connection whatever. The mobile data "on" in the status bar and in the setting page both work but have no real effect, but when toggled the usual Data warning messages appear, or the data traffic has been disabled message appears too. Yet despite all this no mobile internet signal icon appears in the status bar, and I cannot download internet settings and mms settings.
Wifi is a different story: when toggled in the status bar toggles, the animation for wifi on plays for around 7-10 seconds then stops, no signal is established. In the setting menu however, the actual soft button appears to be slightly greyed out, but I can still toggle that too. But once I do, the text "Turning Wifi On" appears on the page, but nothing else happens besides eventually the Wifi turning itself off. No network is found.
I haven't done anything to cause this, to the best of my knowledge. I have uninstalled the few apps which I installed last night, I have tried hard reboots, waiting until both one vibration or three vibrations when rebooting. I have tried resetting the Xposed frameworks to system default (I know it shouldn't have any bearing on it but still). The only thing that I can think of that I havenn't mentioned is that I used the Busybox installer the other day to update busybox and also install the zipalign option (didn't get round to doing anything with it though, and the internet was working fine after that for atlest a few hours) but then again this should have no bearing on my internet connectivity whatsoever.
Well... There you have it. Any and all recommendations are welcome, though I would also say that I would not like to do the usual "take a backup, repair with PC Companion" method which most people seem to suggest, so anything other than that I would appreciate as advice. I do not have logcat installed but I have ROM Toolbox installed along with a few other Root Utilities so I can get a couple of pieces of information if necessary.
So what do you all think? How do I fix my phone?
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried redownloading internet settings through Settings/Xperia/Internet Settings? That might fix the mobile broadband problem

It just says "unable to download"
Bump. Anyone?
Please only bump a thread once every 24 hours.
I would suggest rapairing with PCComapnion or sues.
Maybe restoring a backup.
Take out SIM, give it a clean and re-insert
Apparently removing the SIM card and cleaning it worked! Mods go ahead and close this thread if you want.

Hey all,
On my 2013 Moto X, sometimes when I turn on the wifi tethering the internet doesn't work either on tethered devices, or on my phone. If I turn the wifi tether off, my phone will connect to the internet again.
If I restart the phone and then enable tethering, I can use the internet on any device for a few minutes, then it refuses to connect. Again, if I turn tethering off on my phone, I can then get online on my phone.
I am rooted and Xposed, and don't have gobs of apps on my phone. I can't think of any app that I've installed recently that started this.
Any ideas what I could try to figure out what is going on?
You say it works for a few minutes after reboot. Do you try it immediately after the phone finishes booting up? what I'm getting at is sometimes apps start up on boot but there is a delay, so maybe a root app or Xposed module is interfering, but because of the delay right after rebooting you have a brief window to use tethering.
One way to check this is don't try to tether immediately after rebooting. instead let the phone sit for a few minutes while all the apps that run automatically on boot finish starting up. then try tether, and it should fail.
Check SuperSU to see what apps have root access and see if any of them look suspicious. you can disable superuser access temporarily from within the app.
Also check your Xposed modules. anything that deals with Wi-Fi or data, or has some option in its menus that changes Wi-Fi or data, is a suspect.
If nothing jumps out as suspicious, I'd probably temporarily uninstall Xposed access (just use the uninstall button in the Xposed installer menu, you can reinstall later, your modules will still be there, don't uninstall the actual Xposed installer app) and reboot and try tethering, and if that doesn't help then disable superuser from within SuperSU, reboot, and try tethering.
Safeboot is another option, but I'm not sure how that behaves in regards to having Xposed. Safeboot is accessed by long pressing the Power Off option that appears when you long press the power button.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try them out and see what happens.
I've started disabling some Xposed modules, but I need at least one in order to tether. So I'll disable them all, one by one, until it works.
Okay, so I've been working on this for a while now trying to figure out what is going on... Here's what happening:
If I turn on tethering, it will work for a few mins, then I'll still be connected to the phone hotspot, but I can't go anywhere. Web pages time out, streaming stops, that kind of thing. If I pick up my phone and try to do anything internet related when this happens, I won't have any internet connection on the phone either.
The problem persists if I turn off the hotspot or toggle airplane mode. The only way I can reestablish an LTE connection is to reboot the phone. Until then I won't have any internet connectivity.
Here's what I've done so far, and the problem still persists... Note: I'm on Verizon and have grandfathered unlimited data.
1) I have zwilie's kernel, so I removed that and restored the stock kernel. Problem still persisted.
2) I have xposed installed and several modules. I disabled and uninstalled every module except xposed itself and the moto x tether enabler. Problem still persisted.
3) I used mflash and reflashed system, boot, modems. Problem still persisted.
4) I found a different method of using hotspot that doesn't use xposed. I uninstalled xposed and used the other app. Problem still persisted.
5) I wiped the phone completely and restored to stock 4.4.4 using mflash and the stock 4.4.4 images for my phone. Rooted and reinstalled xposed and moto tether. Problem still persisted. **HT to KidJoe for his excellent guides on flashing**
6) I entered safe mode. However, because that disables all third party apps, I couldn't tether to try that, so that's an unknown.
I don't know what else to try or what else to do. We started using my wife's S4 as a hotspot, but it is starting to exhibit strange behavior as well (data only works for a while, but it will reconnect if I toggle airplane mode). It is also rooted, xposed, and using the tethering enabler.
The only other thing I can think of that I can't try is to reboot in safe mode and try tethering from that. But because the only way I know to enable tethering is to use xposed or a 3rd party app, I can't figure out how to make that work. Also, when I restored my phone, I let it install all my usual apps before I tried tethering again. I don't have a lot of apps, but if anyone knows of ones that may interfere with tethering I'd try uninstalling them.
I'd appreciate other suggestions, please!
Thanks for your time!
{edit} Added HT to KidJoe {/edit}
Okay, I have a couple other things to add...
If I use FoxFi to enable USB tethering, I can tether until the cows come home. This doesn't exactly work for what I'm wanting to do, but it does allow me to tether.
Also, for some really, really, really strange reason, if I change the SSID of the hotspot I can wirelessly tether for a while until a couple devices connect, then it drops out again until I restart the phone.
Am I looking at a really specific, really strange software bug??
