Root Wireless tether on 3G??

[falconey]

I'm rooted and using the wireless tether app. For some reason I can't connect to the evo when on 3g, but have no problems connecting on 4g. I can't seem to find any threads in the forums where others are having this issue, but I hope someone can help me figure out what my problem could be.

Thanks I'll take a look. I'm rooted on the unrevoked3. I just wanted to root for wireless tether, but I'm out of town and this was the first time I needed to tether when I didn't have 4g. I'm using wifi tether app....

This is weird. Based on that link it seems most ppl would have issues tethering at 4g speeds not 3g while my situation is the exact reverse.

have you updated your prl? not sure if that will fix it but you never know.

 

[falconey]

Updated the phone still no luck. I guess I should restate the issue. My pc connects to the phone regardless of 3g/4g, but it will only connect to the internet if I'm on 4g. Sitting here in the hotel room I can have wireless tether on with 3g and no internet regardless of what I do. Soon as i hit the the 4g on button it connects to the internet instantly. I must have something on my phone set up incorrectly.

ahh ok that is weird. you do have 3g signal right? maybe try and wipe cache and dalvik cache and see if that works.

falconey,

when you enable the wireless tether app..do you also enable the access list so that your computer get online and browse the web.

I'll give that a try once I find out how to do it, lol.

I've done it both ways. 4G works with access control enabled or disabled. 3G doesn't work either way.

Maybe someone can post what they're settings are for me.....

to wipe dalvik cache and cache, you need to be in recovery. what recovery do you have? to get to recovery:
1.power off
2.press and hold power+vol down to get to hboot(bootloader)
3.select recovery
4.depending on what recovery you have will depend on where to find dalvik cache and cache
a. in clockwork mod select "wipe cache partition" then select "advanced" then select "wipe dalvik cache"
b. in amon ra select "wipe" then select "cache" then dalvik cache"
5.reboot

i do these steps anytime i encounter any bugs or glitches. depending on what is going on, most of the time that seems to fix the problem.

hopefully, that will fix your current problem. not sure it will though. out of curiosity what rom are you on?

Ok, sorry I didn't update. I figured out how to wipe, but there was still no difference. I'm about to give up. It just makes no sense to me.The only thing I can think is my 3g connection isn't strong enough. Sometimes I'm registering at .35 mbps sometimes I'm above 1 mbps. The only problem with that though is that I would think others would have this issue as well.

which wireless tether app are you using? the link i posted earlier has a link to all of the wireless tether apps currently out. try one of those and see if they help.

 

[falconey]

Damn I feel stupid. I did not thinking of trying another app. I tried Barnacle wifi tether and it worked in 3G. Thanks for all your help bud!

 

[ocnbrze]

no worries. let us know if that worked for you and also which version of the app worked for you.

I have the same issue. Wireless tethering only works on 4G but not on 3G. I'm using wireless tethering app on Vaelpak 3.2 RC2.
