[Q] Wifi tether stopped working - Moto X Q&A

Unlocked and rooted XT1053 running a custom ROM and kernel. Running same ROM and kernel for months and was using wifi tether daily.
Wifi tether stopped working today, I just used it last Thursday without issue. No changes made to ROM or kernel in between that time. The only thing I've done since is clear dalvik/cache last night but I don't see how that could cause problems.
I usually just turn on Wifi hotspot via the quick settings tile and it enables. Now when I hit the quick setting nothing happens. When I go into settings menu to enable "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot", it gets stuck on "Turning hotspot on..."
Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: actually - unless I'm missing something I can't even find the native tethering app anymore...somehow it got deleted? Anyone know how it can be restored?

Tethering issue

Whenever I've used the tether on my N1 it will always connect, but it only stay connect for sometimes 30 minutes and other times 3 minutes. Once the connection drops I have to restart the phone to start a new connection. This happens in random places and it does not matter if I have it tethered through USB or not. Any suggestions on whats going on?
Right now I am on MicroMods Gingerbread.
I suggest wiping everything (NANDROID FIRST OF COURSE), then reflashing!
This fixed my tethering woes.
since the 2.2 rom that enabled OS tethering I have had this problem. I have done many complete wipes. Just installed the gingerbread on my phone last night after a complete wipe.
Perhaps try flashing a new radio? im on 5.12, and have gotten great battery life on top of flawless tethering.
Other than that, unsure what to do. Maybe switch to cyanogen and hold off on Gingerbread?
may it be a problem of Wifi sleep policy? try set it "never"
I'm on Cyan 6.1 and just looked thru my wifi settings and I don't see anything for "sleep policy".
Where do you have that option at?
If you really need tethering--
I have used PDANet and Tether, formally Tetherberry
Tether works great--it does have a one time cost

[Q] Root Wifi Tether

Now that the Droid 3 has been rooted, has anyone tried any wifi tether apps?
I have tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether but neither will work. Anyone having any luck?
Are you sure Wifi Tether app isnt working? I just rooted my droid 3, and installed wifi tether, and it seems to be working.
There IS a hotspot hack out there that i read in this forum...maybe start a topic asking for Hotspot Hack Droid 3 because i know theres a couple guys that know about it on thisa forum, and a few say that its even better of an app than wifi tether or barnacle and really cool. good luck
I think the stock hotspot app is causing issues, mine keeps saying it loses 3G connectivity.. But then again I am overseas right now, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Wish I could easily remove Mobile Hotspot and try again.. But it appears that it's integrated into Blur, so it's not as easy as freezing the APK.
Neither Barnacle or Wifi Tethering are working on my D3. Pretty sure they did not work for me prior to the recent OTA update and they still do not work. Has anyone had any luck with wifi tether on a rooted D3?
from what ive been reading, you need to do the TBH radio hack. it works no prob
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182940
I can second, the TBH hack works sweet and is easy to do.
Neither Barnacle or WiFi Tether should work without modding the phone's radio. With the radio hack, all data used looks like mobile data whereas it does not, and thus is blocked, when using Barnacle or WiFi Tether.
I'm looking to do the wifi hack with tbh however before i got changing anything i tried to just launch the mobile hotspot on the phone to see the message that comes up and when i go to check the box to turn it on it errors out with a process.com.android error message or something like that and i havent touched any files yet.anyone have any ideas?
figured it out, guess when i restored all my settings last time, it never changed something back to the way it should have been, oh well got it going now, now to try this hack.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you do the TBH hack, head over to the Dev area of the D3 forum (IIRC) and get the tethering app. It's more configurable than the stock Mobile Hotspot app.

Wifi No Longer Works AT ALL

My DROID Bionic's wifi doesn't work at all anymore. It was working just fine a couple of days ago. The phone got REALLY overheated so I dont know if that was the issue. When I go into wifi settings and try to connect to a wifi network it only says "Turning wi-fi on..." I was running the ICS leak .2233 at the time and FXZ'd to .902 and updated to stock ICS. Also, when I try to connect it also says "No nearby Bluetooth devices were found." Its odd because im in the wi-fi tab, not the bluetooth tab. I would really appreciate some replies. Thank you.
WiFi on mine stopped working in stock ICS. It would just continually attempt to grab an IP and then disconnect and reconnect. Forgetting the connection and reentering the key did not help. Oddly enough it worked fine in CM10JB. Not really wanting to mess with it I did a factory data reset (after backing up both ROM slots) and it started working again. It may have been heavy handed but it's going again...

[Q] Wifi issues - connected to wifi but no data

Hi folks
Since I updated to JellyBean (JellyMod currently) I have an issue with my wifi connection.
It shows connected but i cant transfer any data (every app fails to establish a connection) until I turn off the wifi and turn it on again. then it ill work for some time and fails again after a not defined period of time.
I found a lot of threads regarding similiar problems but I did not find a solution yet (and for me having a rooted phone installing an app that that runs in background like wifi fixer is a workaround, not a fix
I already did a complete factory reset and fresh install of jellymod.
My router at home is a netgear wndr3700 with the latest dd-wrt. all my other devices work great.
I set the wifi of my i9070 to always on. also i installed auto wifi for location based wifi on/off-profiles.
all of this worked with gingerbread, never had problems...
any idea? seems like a lot of galaxy phones and even tabs are affected...
Thanks in advance!

[Q] WiFi Tether Root app not working

Hello,
I have been trying to get WiFi Tether Root working on my HTC One but it doesn't seem to want to work. I have watched the video for it and the HTC One for Sprint and the settings he used don't work for me. He did try to support me in the Youtube comments but nothing seemed to work. I did find a WiFi tether app that does work but the phone gets so hot it eventually shuts the WiFi hotspot off. That app is WiFi Tether Router. I have also tried FoxFi and PDANet+ neither seem to work.
Does anyone know how to get WiFi Tether Root working on the HTC One with laptops and Android tablets? Below is the troubleshooting I have already done.
I have the current version of WiFi Tether Root - TrevE Mod
I have tried Device Profiles: Auto, Generic, Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), Generic ICS/JB (wlan1), and others
Enable WiFi Encryption is off
WiFi-driver reload is turned on
With any of these settings the WiFi hotspot turns on, the download and upload sections of the application show no data flowing through or very little. Normally stopping at around 24 Kb download and 124 Kb upload.
Does anyone has a working configuration for this app? Does anyone know of a rom that has the native WiFi hotspot app service check disabled? Or a WiFi Tethering app that works without overheating the phone?
I also tried the fix described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2266268
Turned on MMS clamping and Routing fix. Still no data going through.
I have the exact same problem as OP. Pretty frustrating. I figure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is or how to fix it. I haven't tried the other tether apps. If you fix it, please post here with your settings and hopefully it will work for me.
Try and install a custom Rom the stock Rom might have disabled WiFi tethering via 3rd party apps
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Try this...HERE it worked for me.
