I just flashed my backup to stock rom and wifi works now . so is it cyanogen or the tiamat kernel that is not letting tether work?

What i did to fix the error is after tryed to turn on wifi tether and got the error i simply restarted my phone and the problem was solved.

I'm having the same issue with Destroyer 7. Could it be a ASOP issue?

I'm on King's Ultra GB ROM RLS4, had same issue with tether at first. This worked for me yesterday, been using Wireless Tether constantly since -

Possible fix for Wireless Tether on CM7 + AOSP ROMS | Android Support | Android-Support.com | Support,Reviews, News, Applications, Games and New Releases|

Built-in hotspot didn't work for me at all.

 

[outkast25]

I already tried that, no dice. I wonder if it will work with the cm7 kernel ? could that affect it?

 

[takirb]

Possibly, give it a whirl. Im running tiamat 4.0.1

With some asop roms. You have to use the wireless tether version 3.0 only way I have found to get around this problem

 

[outkast25]

can you tell me where i can find 3.o?

i restored my cm7 mod and the native wifi option would not turn on . it said error. so im guessing an older version of wifi tether wont make a difference. how do i fix the wifi not working on cm7?

 

[beastinbolts]

the wi fi tether apk shoulp fix this.. run it as an app from your app tray then turn it on..bye clicking on your screen . do not go to menu\wireless networks... run it as an app...

 

[outkast25]

i did , no dice. Also when i tried to connect to my house wifi with the native wifi turn on option it said error. the phone wont turn on its wifi option.

 

[beastinbolts]

That sounds exactly what I was dealing with to the t...when u say now native wifi not working .............

 

[outkast25]

were you able to resolve it? were you on cm7? tiamat?

 

[beastinbolts]

were you able to resolve it? were you on cm7? tiamat?

Yep yep and yep......it was 3.0 that fixed it.
every time I use any thing below that I would test my wifi tether out and it would fail. And then it would cause just turning on wifi to fail.... causing me to have to restore...to working state. but when I started using 3,0 no more problems

 

[outkast25]

damn that sux. i wonder what causes it to become unable to use wifi to the point of restore?

 

[outkast25]

ok wifi is up and running now. thx.!

 

[ocnbrze]

what did you do to get it going again? just in case some other people have issues and need some answers.

 

[beastinbolts]

awesome...... your the first person i have ran in to that had the same problem......glad its fixed

Flashed he Destroyer v2 rom and had the same wifi issue. I went ahead and tried the wifi tether 3.0 and I see the wifi hotspot pull up on my computer and I can even get link to it but I am unable to open any internet links....anyone have any way to correct this?

 

[beastinbolts]

Sorry I don't understand

 

[dallas1scholar]

Sorry I don't understand

I can access the wifi hotspot via my desktop computer however I am not able to view any internet pages.

 

[ocnbrze]

which wireless tether app are you using and what rom? here is a guide that might help: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...net-tethering-w-evo-4g-3g-wireless-wired.html

Okay, to test connectivity, click start, run and type cmd from there type ping google.com
if you have connectivity, it will say pinging (some IP address) and then at the end it will give you 4/4 or something. (successful pings)

If you cannot do this, it means that you are connecting it as Ad-hoc, (device to device) and there is no gateway. As an example, when I connect my ipod to my laptop to ssh into it, i connect via an ad-hoc network. There is no connectivity from my computer to the internet and no internet to my ipod.

Does your phone have data service when you connect?
