[Q] Tethering issues - Update - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I have a bit of an odd issue. Tethering with WiFi Tether Router app from the stop has been working until last week. Both LTE and 3G. Then last week I had the infamous 3G issue. I did a factory reset and when that didn't work I tried a profile update (I know probably backwards). After the profile update 3G works great. However, this week when I tried to tether things went south. It connects fine to the AP, you can do a dns lookup and it succeeds, Skype connects, torrents work great, but you can't get to any websites at all. Tethering with 3G works fine other than the fact that it's slow. I have tried on stock rooted by Capt, Bad Boyz, and CM. All of them worked last week, but none of them work this week. Fabio from the tether app suggested I look at the APN settings and make sure that default,supl,mms,dun were all set up as APN types. When I took a look in there only default and hipri were set as types. The strange thing is that it seemed to work for a little bit after initially setting that up. Now its back to not working. I can telnet to port 80 on servers that I know are web sites and I get the expected results back, so I know the router is passing port 80 traffic, it just wont allow an actual website to download. I have tried to connect a surface, Windows Phone, and a Windows laptop and all get the same results so I am fairly certain it isn't on the connecting device side.
Anyone have any thoughts or has anyone seen this?
Update ---
This morning when I went in to work I decided to give it a try again because that was the last location where it worked. It appears this issue may be location specific. In downtown San Antonio none of the tethering methods work with 4G but in the far west (SeaWorld) tethering 4G works...

Man I have the same damn problem, It's almost like Sprint is blocking certain things, we know for a fact they cap LTE, which sux cuz I like sprint they have good plans

Can you throw up a link about them capping LTE?
I haven't been able to get tether to work for me and I wonder if this is one of the reasons.

Anyone on AT&T having internet problems ?

Well for a week now my internet connection has been bad. Youtube don't work, can't download any files but i can surf the web just fine. Has At&t put a block on downloading or whatever ?
I would suggestcompleting your user profile to that other members have an idea of where you are located (or give that info in the post).
I'm in Northern Illinois and don't have any issues.
I'm in Utah and haven't had any noticeable problems. I'm trying to replicate your problem to no avail....

where are you located, i'm outside st. louis and i don't have any bad problems, once in a blue moon my 3g won't connect, some error about the remote party ended the connection, but that takes a quick reboot on my PIE and it's good
I'm in the Dallas Texas area and have had intermittent internet issues ever since the Tornadoes went through last week.
No noticable problems here in Memphis. Once in a while, a page not found comes up in Opera, but a reload usually gets it the next time. I should also add that downloading works fine for me.
Cincinnati Ohio, is having edge problems due to 3g upgrades in outlying areas around Cincinnati, When 3g upgrades are being done it effects the edge network. The 3g upgrade takes approx a week, and I a as regional technician for AT&T am always fighting this issue so be calm. DAMMIT you made me sound like a HTC spokesperson....."we are currently working on the issue" HA AH AH
Detroit,
and yes, issues for a few days, they were upgrading Edge to 3G around me though, (about time!! woohoo!!) and I had funky issues for the last few days, but normal now.

I'm located in Orlando,fl. The main problem is when I try to watch a youtube video using TCMCP or downloading a file, it drops the connection. Basically downloading and buffing problems.

All good here
No issues here in Detroit MI
I've had issues for at least a week now. I'm also in Dallas, TX. No rhyme or reason or way that always works to fix it either. Sometimes i can go to Comm Manager, turn off date connection, then open IE and it works. Then sometimes that doesn't work at all. It's getting extremely frustrating! Emails won't download, RSS hub can't connect, no IE, no Google Maps, ugh! hope they fix it soon. what data plan are you on btw?
I have had issues in Milwaukee the last couple days in the evening where it would show a data connection but would not send or receive data for hours. reboots didnt fix it during those times either
Miami, Florida
All good here, no dropped connections whatsoever using Edge and 3G.
Guess you can add me to the list. Live in Irving, but work in Dallas. Same issues and same time-frame. Also, I am on PDA Max.
Still having the same problem, At&t said there's no issues in my area. Started on Monday, maybe updating there network or something. Hate paying for something that's not working right.

I'm having problems too. GPRS issues mainly. I'm on MediaNET using wap.cingular.
Well my billing period just started, now everything is working find. Maybe I used too much data? Do At&t have a cap on unlimited?
no they dont have a cap, but you get charged after 5gb of data.
I couldn't send MMS all saturday, i'm in central texas, so i called customer support and turned out they were updating the servers or something like that and people in texas were experiencing data issues, but everythings working now.

EDGE/GPRS/3G Questions/Issues/Info

This might be a silly question, but does anyone know if the G1 will be able to access the web if you live in an area where 3G is not available yet? I live north of Los Angeles (who has 3G) in Bakersfield and we don't have it yet. I am hoping that I was not an idiot to preorder the phone and then not be able to use all the cool web features.
Thanks in advance,
Jamie
it should still work on the EDGE network
From my understanding it will work with GPRS, Edge, and 3g so you shouldn't have any problems bro by the way I understand the concern.
With a 1150ma battery, GPS, "big" screen etc, 3G will just drain the battery even quicker.
I will not worry about 3G until an extended battery is released- and the fact that 3G will not be in my market for a year of so.

Hey guys i have a htc wing now, and it does not have a gps. It looks like the gps for this phone is one of the main highlights, because it uses it for a lot of applications. Does anyone know what the gps strength will be like? Will it work will in a building, it do i have the be in direct light for like ten minuites to get a signal?
Anyone with a htc device with a gps already, does it work well?
I hear the android is a-gps, so mabye it will have the ability to somewhat work well when in a pocket, or building.....

Time for a lesson on GPS... It uses satellites in the sky, and you need a view of a certain amount of satellites to find your location (4 will find you but not very accurately, the more the better). If you're in a building, and not right next to a window, no GPS will ever find your location, ever. That's like asking if your internet will work if the ethernet cable is unplugged from the back of your computer and you don't have wifi, it goes against the entire idea of how it functions.
Now, as for the quality of the HTC GPS receiver... People have complained about GPS lag, but I maintain my opinion that it's completely software related, my Fuze had none whatsoever. You don't need to be in sunlight, just have enough clear sky that it can get a reading from the satellites. I've taken trips with the Fuze even on very cloudy days and it took a little longer to get a lock (5-10 mins, it locks in like 30 seconds to a minute with clear skies) but once it had my position, it stayed true. All of the upcoming HTC devices use A-GPS, by the way. Diamond, Touch Pro, Xperia, G1...

He's using the battery draining as an excuse, something to keep him from pulling his hair out because he won't have 3G for another year. Anyone who's used a phone for data features on both networks knows EDGE doesn't hold a candle to 3G.
As for the original post, yes, it will give you all of the same data features on EDGE as on 3G.
The big thing with A-GPS is that it's mainly used to increase the startup speed of your GPS. Instead of waiting 10 minutes to download the almanac of the satellites in the sky from the GPS sats, it downloads the data over your data connection, using the basis of which cell site you're connected to for determining your rough location. This way it only takes about 30 seconds to get a fix instead of much longer.
The sensitivity of the GPS on phones has been fairly good as far as i've seen on devices like the Tilt and such, so I don't see why a phone with such a heavy emphasis on location-based apps would have a sub-par GPS setup. Here's hoping things work well.

3g doesnt burn that much battery unless your using it constantly like as a primary internet for your computer. also when you put your phone in sleep mode it isnt runnig in the background

Exactly... But when you're without 3G, I guess you try to justify why it's not as good, and that's what he came up with. It's like everything though, people on here try to justify why the iPhone isn't as good as the Diamond/Touch Pro, truth be told it's better in many aspects but comes short in many as well.

I choose D... all of the above
No... it will not work out of the box.
Yes/maybe... it should work someday soon unless HTC/T-Mobile have somehow disabled that ability in hardware.
As soon as I get the phone I will be working on it on the Linux side (not an actual internet sharing app... more of a route/iptables script) and I am sure someone will work on a java solution (although a kernel solution would be faster). There was an application for the iPhone that provided internet sharing but it was banned from apple store and Google has said they won't do that so I think it should be here soon.
problems with Wireless (3g and wifi)
does anybody else have problems with the 3g?
i have tmobile and i didnt select the option for only 2g but my 3g keeps going in and out even when im in the same spot it'll go from 3g to Edge for no reason.
also does anybody have problem conecting to wifi?
i have a linksys wireless n (WRT300N) router, the ssid is visible and uts using wep security but when ever i try to connect to it it says out of range or it just stops trying to connect Please Help

I have an issue with my G1 WIFI connection. If i broadcast my SSID I connect with no problems. but if i disable the broadcast it will not connect, and this is with me manually putting in the connections into the phone.
I called TMobile but they said i needed to call HTC. they didn't have a solution.
BTW, I have no WEP enabled. I just disable the SSID broadcast.
I just connected to my Linksys router with WPA2 and had 3G running, connected no problem.
Haitiankid: try entering the details of your network manually and seeing if it will connect then. Also, as for the 3G fading in and out, are you in a week signal area for 3G?
wifi working
I got my wifi to work. It was my routers fault. What I did was in went into my routers settings by typing 192.168.1.1 and entered 'admin' (no quotes) and no password. Once in my settings I changed my brocasting type from b&g mixed to all mixed changed frequency to auto, changed network key from shared to open and wifi started working. I don't know if all those steps were neccesary but it worked for me. Hope it works for some else.
As for the 3g it seems to be getting better
for those of you with the 3g/edge switching problem...
Hey, if uve got the 3g switching to edge back and forth continuously, its likely because you didnt get a new SIM card when u got the g1. It simply means you have an old SIM card that doesnt support 3g well, call tmobile up tell them your situation, theyve given most people a free new SIM card thats more compatible.

I don't think that's the case. I've had the same SIM card since 2000, no problems like this. If any SIM is too old to support 3G, I'd think one made 8 years ago would definitely be the case.
It sounds like he's in a bad coverage area, which could be lots of things. There is a coverage map on the T-Mo website, don't know if it shows 3G. Or it could be the building he's in. My phones have never worked at my grandmother's house. I get full bars on the front porch, and full bars the second I get out the back door, but no signal in the house itself. Even relatives on other networks get little to no coverage inside the house. Probably the really really old insulation and building materials are blocking the signal. At my last apartment I only had a good signal on the corner of my bed, and that disappeared when new neighbors moved in upstairs.
These are radio waves, which aren't foolproof or perfect, they encounter all kinds of interference. Nothings going to be as secure and consistant as a wired connection. Nature of the beast, unfortunately.

Careful dude, with the security set to open anyone within range (neighbors, wardrivers, etc.) can use your wifi to get on the internet. Try using WPA or WPA2 security, but leaving it all mixed and frequency at auto.

Tethering problem.

I'm not sure if this should be in the general section or in the software section because I'm not really sure what it is.
Anyway, my tethering speed has drastically slowed over the past few days.
I was getting about 28-30 kbs per second during downloads, and now, I'm at a forever slow 2-5 kbs per second.
I've tried resetting my phone and my computer hoping that would do something, but it's still just slowly chugging along.
I even installed a new radio hoping it would do something, but nothing happened.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Some info would help.......
Who is your provider?
What general area are you in?
Have you checked to see if they are having tower issues ( Other users in your general area having issues too) ?
What kind of signal strength do you have?
What rom/radio are you using?
What spl are you using?
Are you connected via Edge, GRPS, 3G , or HSDPA?
Have you installed any software at all before this all started happening?

My provider is at&t.
I'm in the Metro-St. Louis area.
I haven't checked if they're having tower issues. I guess I should have done that...
I've got all of my bars, like usual.
My rom is one of the NATF final roms with the hermes 6.1 radio, and before that, I had a niki radio. I updated to the hermes to see if it helped anything.
and in my area, I usually have edge connection.
and no, I havent installed any software.
do u have tethering plan?
if so callup att and tell them. i know they are messing around w/broadband speeds and this might have spilled over to wireless as well.
Do you know how your connected? G,E,3G,H?
In my area, I'm usually connected to edge.
I called at&t and there isn't anything wrong with the towers around me or anything.
Now I'm really confused.
I put on a new rom yesterday, and it's still going super super slow.

Have you tested for the problem in another location? I had a similar problem in the area where I worked on a project recently (about 15 miles from home). At first, everything was fine there. Then for about a week, the data service got so bad I could hardly connect at times. Called AT&T to complain, gave them the location and they told me they had no reports of anything wrong with the towers there, even though everything worked fine for me elsewhere.
Did a hard-reset, cleaned off the phone and didn't re-install anything, and tested it again. Same problem.
After about two weeks, the problem suddenly disappeared. Apparently I wasn't the only one calling in to complain every day.
It's still going mad slow.
I think I just might have to bite the bullet and get a new phone if noone else has any other suggestions.

What are your connection settings ?
Are you connecting to isp.cingular or wap.cingular ?
Do you have a Pda Plan?
Try deleting all of your settings and putting in this configuration
For both of these make sure the modem is " Cellular Line ( GPRS, 3G ) "
Call this config My ISP
Apn= isp.cingular
User Name = [email protected]
Password = CINGULAR1
Disable the proxy
If that still wont connect
Apn = wap.cingular
User Name = [email protected]
Password = CINGULAR1
Again, make sure the proxy is disabled
Dont select any of the compression settings / ect. Let it stay as default.
Test again and give us your results.
P.S.
The name/password is CASE SENSITIVE so make sure you are using caps exactly as I have for both. ONLY the APN is lower case!
Goodluck and we hope to hear from you soon!
PPS.
Proxy settings are under the tab that says "Proxy Settings"
Make sure you have "This network connectes to the internet" checked and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" UNCHECKED.
I had problems similar to to this. I would connect and everything seem fine until I tried to download a large file or large amount of data (like a heavy, app-filled website) then my connection speed would drop to near nothing or even completely stall, forcing me to disconnect/reconnect to fix the problem.
In my case it turned out to have something to do with my TCP window size.
I got a copy of TCPoptimizer and started playing with the settings of my laptop, the default setting was about 126000, but I found that I would get the slowdown or stalling with any setting above 40000!
I now have it set to about 26000 and it works great! 1.8 mbs!
I'm not a network guy, but i think that the long latency, fading, shadowing, etc. of the 3G connection was causing the large packet size not to download completely, necessitating duplicate attempts to get the packet.
It would make sense to me that a larger TCP window would mean a faster connection, but in my case this turned out not to be true.
Maybe one of the NT Gurus on here could explain it
So, I would suggest you get TCPoptimizer, or DRTCP and try changing the network settings of your laptop, and then use a registry editor for your Tilt to change the settings there too.
Hope this helps,
SF
I guess it was just the network, because a few days ago, it just started working normally. Thanks to everyone that helped though.

Fortunately the issue has been resolved but you never did report back regarding WAP vs ISP. Earlier this month I had a long layover at O'Hare and ran into the same issue - slow, slow, and slow (26 down, up was norm), but that was on 3G, switched to EDGE and it was good to go. Not only was this on my Tilt, but aircard as well. Network issue, not Tilt. Hence why a quick speed test between 3G/EDGE helps answer the question...

Wifi Issue?

Hi all, happy Friday! I searched for my paticular issue but couldn't find anything. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue or something similar. What happens is my revo isn't automatically reconnecting to wifi when i go out of range and then back in. I will notice it's using data (4G or 3G) and when i go to wifi settings the wifi network says disabled and i have to go to it and hit connect. What's more weird is it's doing this with the wifi at work but not at home. It's not an issue with the wifi at work though because other people here have androids, iphones and blackberrys and don't have the issue. The phone has done this since i got it. I've looked at the wifi sleep setting and made sure it is set to never to rule that out. I've done several powerdowns and battery pulls since i got it also. Anyhow just wondering if anyone has heard of this. Thank you and sorry for the length of my post.
That happens on my phone as well, but will reconnect to my home network after the screen is on for a few seconds

I don't have that issue but I always turn my wifi off when I'm not using it. Better battery life plus no issues
Yeeup, I've had that exact issue on this phone from day 1. Some may not consider it a big deal, but it's actually one of my biggest pet peeves about the phone. I was hoping the V6 software update back in August would contain a fix for it, but I didn't notice a change.

While that's a valid workaround, and i'd love to do that, it's not an option for me. I have the lowest data plan you can have on a smartphone (2gb), so i have to be on wifi whenever it's available so as not to go over usage. What's odd though is the phone only seems to do this with the wireless at work. I even went somewhere this past weekend that i haven't been in a while and the phone remembered and connected right up to the wifi there. Other smartphones at work don't behave this way with the wireless at work though. I'll just have to live with it, i'm used to it now anyway. Just have to remember everytime or i'll be using up my precious data. I'm wondering if the update to gingerbread (if our revo ever get it) will do anything with this issue.
What type of security is implemented at your work? I know there is a very common problem with PEAP and MSCHAPV2 authentication and FROYO. I can connect, but as soon as I change to another antenna, I get disconnected. It is the only reason I know I want Gingerbread. It was supposed to be fixed in Gingerbread.

Good question gig, work has 2 networks. One uses PEAP and the other is for guest internet access, i have it on the guest. I gather from what you've said it wouldn't help any to try this issue on the main PEAP network.
I have an update on my issue. I was at lunch yesterday and trying to connect to the free wifi there and noticed that the wifi network at work that's been giving me problems was on the list of remembered networks twice! I have no clue how this happened (in troubleshooting i always hit forget). I didn't even know it was possible for any device to have duplicate entries of wifi networks. I deleted one of them and it seems to have worked (so far). Some other people replied saying they were having my issue too, so i wanted to update this thread in case it would fix their issue too.

[Q] Anyone else having WiFi issues with their HTC One?

Hey guys,
So I just got my brand-spanking new HTC One today. I upgraded from the Evo LTE, and I already love it.
But there's one thing that has been really frustrating to me for the few hours I've owned this phone... It has major WiFi issues.
My One can see the WiFi network, can connect to it, but wont give an internet connection! It's so frustrating!
My Evo LTE, being connected to the same WiFi network, connects to the internet with no problem at all.
A temporary fix is to turn off the WiFi radio, then turn it back on. As a result, I would connect to the internet for a minute or so, then it would disconnect from the internet (it's still connected to my WiFi network, and it recognizes it, and it gives no messages about the connection suggesting that something is wrong with my router/connection).
I changed the frequency bands, but they all have the same issue. I have enabled "Best Wi-Fi performance" and "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep."
I've also reseted my router numerous times... No luck.
Is anyone else having this issue, or did I just get a lemon? Can anyone think of a possible solution?
Thanks!
no issues here with my one and my netgear r6300 ac router.
Wi-Fi has been fantastic for me on my one. My evo LTE if you remember had the issue of wi-fi just shutting off after the phone was asleep. That was fixed in an update but even after that was fixed my evoLTE would show it's connected but data would not work. So I would have to toggle it on & off. I also had an issue with my sense widget not working and getting stuck. I was really starting to dislike the evoLTE because of it since your notifications quit working if your wi-fi was not connected correctly. I put up with crappy wi-fi for almost a year, mainly because I knew if I took it into Sprint they would say everything works perfect I just didn't wanna deal with. I know it's extremely frustrating to not have your wi-fi work correctly. My advice see if you can get a hold of another HTC one to test side by side. If it's a hardware issue you should get it swapped. You could also try hard resetting. I use a a WRT54GL with tomato at home and a Asus N66U at work, both have performed awesome with my one.
I have _exactly_ the same issue with my One. I have no idea if it's a software or a hardware problem. Tried a hard reset just yet, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Really frustrating indeed, since the One is not very good available in the Netherlands yet, so if I return it, I might have to wait a few weeks to get a new one. I've tried it with at least 6 completely different WiFi networks, but the problem occurs with every one of them.
Only issue I have had with the WiFi thus far is it doesn't seem to have the pickup up range compared to my other phones and tablets.
WiFi on mine is insanely crazy! Picks up signal way better than any other device I've ever owned. Might be the kernel I'm running. Try it out! Look in the original dev thread.

I've noticed this as well. Areas in my office where I could get a decent wifi signal with my 3D I am dropping wifi completely with the One.
Router brand/model? Firmware version? WEP/WPA/Open? 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz or dual band? Channel (more relevant on 2.4 than 5)?
Does your phone get a valid IP? Check on the phone itself then the router under DHCP (assuming normal configuration, IP should begin 192.168.*.*)
Can you ping any internal node (ie your router) or external node (ie google.com or the IP to google)?
If your router has WEP/WPA enabled, switch it to Open solely for testing the connection.

Hey guys,
So I just got my brand-spanking new HTC One today. I upgraded from the Evo LTE, and I already love it.
But there's one thing that has been really frustrating to me for the few hours I've owned this phone... It has major WiFi issues.
My One can see the WiFi network, can connect to it, but wont give an internet connection! It's so frustrating!
My Evo LTE, being connected to the same WiFi network, connects to the internet with no problem at all.
A temporary fix is to turn off the WiFi radio, then turn it back on. As a result, I would connect to the internet for a minute or so, then it would disconnect from the internet (it's still connected to my WiFi network, and it recognizes it, and it gives no messages about the connection suggesting that something is wrong with my router/connection).
I changed the frequency bands, but they all have the same issue. I have enabled "Best Wi-Fi performance" and "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep."
I've also reseted my router numerous times... No luck.
Is anyone else having this issue, or did I just get a lemon? Can anyone think of a possible solution?
Thanks!

Had the exact same problem. Only thing that fixed it was switching my router encryption from WPA to WEP. Works like a charm now. Best of luck.

Same problem and my solution
I had the same problem. Finally I tried to reset the phone without putting all my google-account info back. Then the wifi works fine. After that a Added my google-account and can enjoy my new HTC one. The phone is really good!
Note that in this way I didn't get all my setting back from my google account (like access points), but at it is working!
