Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out. the wifi and portable hotspot are not working. The wifi has not been detecting open or locked wifi networks. When I try to create a portable hotspot, the phone displays the word, Error. I have Tmobile and use T-zones for my internet. Currently I am still using the internet but it is being used via USB. I still have and use internet so its not that Tmobile cancelled my internet but its more like something is wrong with the actual phone parts or the software. I have tired flashing other roms but no luck. I am currently using Android 2.3.4 on cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC1-IncS and also has S-off. The phone is unlocked and rooted. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Try upgrading to cm 7.2.0
APN settings
No idea if this will work for you but it did for me. I am on t-mobile(UK). Wifi and tethering were both working fine for me until I rooted my phone and installed a custom rom. After going through loads of different options, I noticed that the APN had somehow changed when I rooted. (Settings>Wireless&networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names)
For me the correct APN (general.t-mobile.co.uk) became general.t-mobile.uk after I rooted for no known reason. Adding the 'co' resolved the issue and everything started working again.
I would suggest searching the internet for your network's APN settings and having a look at the settings on your IS.
Good luck.
I tried both and none worked. Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas anyone?
Any one know if there is a new wifi software update? That or a hotspots update but I think they might be the same.

I have installed the Wireless tethering and when I try to connect my pc using my tab, it will not get pass the gateway..it shows limited connection on my pc, however, my tab is showing like it is actually sending and receiving packets...How do I fix this issue?
Hi Fechina,
When you say you have installed wireless tethering, what exactly do you mean? The reason I ask this is because my GT-P1000T has it already built in to the firmware (Froyo 2.2). I just go to Settings -> Mobile APN and turn it on... Works like a charm every time. I can also set my WEP/WPA encryption if I choose to.

Did you set your TAB APN security to have a password, because other computers could already be connecting to your SGT, that's why you see it sending and receiving packets.
Yes, I have a password..
@andychud I am rooted but still on the stock rom..I had to install the Wireless Tether for root in order to access it...I cannot find any custom roms for the Sprint tab..

Hi Fechina,
Did you manage to get to the bottom of this yet or are you still unable to tether?
So, are you saying the the stock ROM you are using doesn't have wireless tethering built-in to it & you have installed some 3rd party tethering app? I'm sorry, but I don't fully understand the nature of your problem. If you could give more details, I'll try to help.

I see that you have stock froyo which is by default already have the ability to act as a wireless access point. Why you have to install Wireless tethering I don't understand. Anyway here is the proceedure I use if I want to connect my pc to the tab

If on the other hand you want to connect your Galaxy tab to your pc as an adhoc network then you will have to replace the wpa supplicant file with a modified one here-http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G299FMBE
Your gt is rooted so this can be done easily.
Hi,
I followed orlandoxpolice's instructions for Da_G's gtab 8.9 LTE root at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401100
and I am now rooted. The reason I did this was so that I can use the LTE service from my laptop in those travel situations in which the gtab's browser doesn't work as well as my laptop's would for some websites that I need to use on the road.
However, I can't get tethering to work. Maybe this is a Honeycomb issue? I installed the latest Barnacle, and it grabbed superuser perms and seemed to run perfectly, but I get no Internet access from my laptop when I tether to the gtab, even though I connect to the gtab and get a dhcp ip address with no problem. I also tried Android WiFi Tether at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ but that produces the same result. Has anyone else gotten this working?
Thanks!
can't say i have tried this, but could it be a driver issue on your laptop? have you tried tethering with your desktop or any other computer?
Hmm, ROM or kernel might not have the necessary bits to route packets for tethering, I made a note to take a look at things next time I get a chance. Still no device though so I'll be doing it in the blind ROM doesn't have android tether app built into settings -> wireless & networks I take it?

Hi All
I surf on internet to find someone with my issue but all the solution I tried did not work, so my situation is this:
I bought an S3 with Three mobile I unlocked so I can use different networks and I also update the S3 with official rom (4.2.1) using Odin hoping that this will make work the tethering but unfortunately the portable hotspot still not working which means the PC can connect to the Phone but the internet connection is not available, I tried to install some apps like foxfi but the issue still there, now I hope that here I can find some help
Thanks

Recently upgraded from a sensation on 3 to a ONE, used to tether my nexus tablet without issue but with the ONE I find it won't connect, recognizes the tablet trying to connect, and its on the allowed users list but it just keeps saying authentication problem, and stops ....Mac address of the tablet is there but obviously no IP address as it won't connect ....any tips for a simpleton? Or indeed anyone else have issues with 3 on the one plan which is unlimited data and tethering allowed, was on a normal plan before but had no problem tethering.
Ok all sorted now had to manually enter the ONE settings onto my pad instead of just searching for wifi network and then entering the password, no idea why it had to be done that way, but anyways all ok now.

I am having exactly the same issue on the same plan. It use to work fine.
What settings did you have to enter?

I just manually entered my phone hotspot network and password instead of searching for it, and then logging on to it.
No idea why I had to do it that way as it worked fine on my sensation before, but its worked great since with no issues
So I have CE1 customized base firmware with the US oem firmware file dropped in. I'm on T-Mobile, and everything works except for mobile hotspot.
After testing multiple re-flashes, it looks like hotspot only works right after a fresh flash. On this first boot with the hotspot, a connected device will show a regular WiFi icon. After rebooting, the hotspot connection will no longer allow any connected devices to the internet, and the WiFi icon will show a mobile device overlay on the WiFi icon.
Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution? Any help would be appreciated.

Yes this issue seems to be common. There is another thread discussing this issue.
Is that thread specific to this issue? If so, can you link me to the other thread?
Make sure your APN has all the right settings.
I think you need DUN in the APN for hotspot to work.
You may also have to set a fixed DNS server (e.g. 8.8.8.8) on the client.
I think Google has totally screwed the pooch on internet sharing and there are various bugs. Eg: I believe there has been a bug in base Android for 2-3 versions for Bluetooth internet sharing. Wifi works fine, but Bluetooth is just dead.
