Im trying to connect my XOOM to my x2 via wireless tether and I'm having no luck. I've tried almost every version of wireless tether and have no luck. Even barnacle didn't work. Any suggestions aside from paying verizon?

I have had lots of issues with tethering on my x2, and I'm even paying for it. I heard some posts somewhere with rumors that they are blocking it somehow on the x2 but those could just be stories.
Bluetooth tethering works just fine, have you tried that?
Bt tether is so slllloooooowwwwww

I think this is probably the other thread you were referring to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112325
looks like that one relates to win7 64 bit problems.
I'm pretty strongly considering this phone, but this seems like a real issue.
FWIW:
My rooted X2 is having no trouble tethering with Wireless Tether 2.0.7.
- (Not on the Market anymore, but just Google "Wireless Tether")
I have used it without issue to get Internet access on Win7 64, Win7 32, OG Droid, iPad, Ubuntu 10.10 and probably a few others.
I've also had no trouble using EZ-Tether (paid) with Win7 64 and Ubuntu 10.10.
cool, glad to hear that
No Luck
I'm having no luck with the X2. First one was acting up so I took it back and they said they'd replace it. When they took the battery cover off it showed that the phone had water damage. I only had it 10 days and it never left my pocket or my hand. So they replaced it anyway. Got home with the second one and had just got everything reinstalled... all 110 apps and then someone called me... they couldn't hear me. Bad Microphone! so I took it back the next day and the service rep said she'd replace it. She got a new one out of the box and went to activate it and it wouldn't even communicate with Verizon's network! So she had to call a Tech. You know it's bad when a tech has to call a tech lol. The tech told her that it was probably a dud and to get a new one. So needless to say I'm on my fourth X2 in two days and this one is still acting up. I receive multiple repeat txts, the phone freezes, it won't download apps unless I stay in the market while it's downloading and even that sometimes doesn't work, music skips, lags, just all around isn't even close to the Droid incredible that I just upgraded from. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated cuz I'm tired of hearing from all my Iphone owning friends how Droid sucks!

Sounds like you are having no luck with your X2 at all. First off, your post has very little to do with the thread, needs moved to it's own thread with a proper title (mod help please). Second, have you rooted and removed the bloat from the phone? When I first got mine, it was super laggy and had some serious issues. I rooted, killed all the useless junk (frozen, not removed), and have yet to have a problem. As a matter of fact, this phone is damn fast when the fat is cleaned up.
So, go read the first post in this thread: Getting Started with the X2 ... I'm sure you will see major differences once done. Also, try not to threadjack... it's not cool.
I too tried to tether my xoom to the x2 without success. The xoom does not like to connect to an adhoc net, and that is what wireless tether sets up. With my OG Droid, I was able to use BT tethering with the xoom, but that doesn't want to work with the x2.
I think I saw there was some hack for the xoom that allowed it to connect adhoc, so that might be my next trial.

I ran wifi tether on my rooted Dinc and my XOOM connected perfectly. I've tried almost all of the versions and nothing has worked. So I'm lost.

Looking through the menus on the ##778 on the rezound I noticed what was used on the incredible to "hack" into the hotspot capabilities of it. Can we use this for the rezound? as follows..
1. dial ##778 call.
2. edit view - enter password 000000
3. go to security sub menu
and here is where I'm a bit unsure and want to get some insight before trying it out....
4. S.IP DUNN User name
on the incredible for this step you enter [email protected]
on the LTE phones it should be (as it's duplicated above as your ppp user id
[email protected] OR would we stull use [email protected] and have access to this on 3G only?
Would this get us the bypass we need, or is this verification handled onboard with the SIM card?
Just thinking out loud here guys, all input welcome!
I would say try it and post your results

I used PDAnet all last week, it worked like a champ, great speeds as long as you have a 4g signal. No issues at all.
Oh, Win7.
Ever since I have had the tbolt, I have had Verizon's hotspot work without having it on my plan. I just figured it was promotional, was it not? It works on my rezound as well.

It was a promotional thing, but seems to have stuck to some accounts. One of my accounts still has it, not sure why. I pay for the unlimited hotspot as I am an employee, and I am not much for stealing, but not the line I am speaking of. Not sure what the rhyme or reason is, probably would remove it when changing devices so if you stick with devices that use regular 4G sim cards and not micro sims I would bet it will stick around until its audited off.
that's interesting that the promotion stuck to some accounts . I don't really think of it like stealing I suppose except in the sense that I'm taking advantage of an app Verizon included to be paid for *shrug*. Since I use an app like PDAnet or something else anyways it's not THAT big of a deal. It's just a lot easier to turn on tether and sit down at my computer, or ANY computer. rather than download an app on every pc I would use it on and physically plug in the phone everytime.. not that it would last more than an hour tethered without being plugged up or anything.
anyhow, so as of this point we're at VZ's whim for tethering?
Am I doing something wrong???
If my phone isn't getting the sleep of death, it's keyboard lockups, call dialing delays, random restarts, soft bricks and being completely unresponsive...
I think I might buy a Palm Pixy or some other phone, what do you suggest???
I am rooted, but I never had any issues like this on my Droid X with nearly the same apps...
I'm getting fed up. I might switch to the SGII. I'm a big Motorola fan, but I'm really fed up.
If you guys give me any suggestions, let me know...
Sometimes I can't use this phone in an emergency... The other day I need to make an emergency call. I press send, and then the phone restarts...
I can't even listen to music in peace without a random restart... Maybe I'll get an iPod Touch....

Seriously...what are you doing to your phone...I don't how many you've gone through..like 5? It doesn't make ANY sense..no mass-produced product is THAT bad...QC probably accounts for .001% defects or less in a million...You should probably wipe your phone, factory reset it, SBF to stock, and switch it for SGS2 or Galaxy Nexus when it comes out.
If you look at my "Embrassed by Photon" thread, I am having issues that I have learned to live with BUT, I also had the Emergency phone call issue and could not use it.

dont think my POS Samsung Moment was that bad
Best bet is to go back to bone stock and run it for a while. If you have the same issues then it could most likely be your device.
What rom are you running? IMO cybiks cm7 and jokers 1.3 is the best combo. I have never had a random reboot once I got my undervolting levels tweaked right. It ran perfectly fine at the default voltages and I wanted to extend my battery life a bit.
You could also have a app that is going awry causing your device to overheat and seize.
Sent from my MoPho. All typos are the phones fault.
Yeah man, you are really screwing up somewhere. Everyone I have ever met in person with a Photon raves about how awesome it is.
I actually talked to a guy in line at the store the other day who had one - I noticed our oddly shaped device in a otter box on his hip and asked if it was Electrify or Photon (We Tennesseans tend to randomly chat with total strangers, like they are old pals.) - it was a Photon, he loved it.
I told him, if he wanted to love it more, read about Rooting and Roms. I wonder how that turned out for him.
I'm running pure stock and rooted. I rave about my Photon when it works right, trust me, it's awesome... Maybe my apps conflict with this device??? Cuz I never had any issues like this on my Droid X... I'm a huge Motorola fan, I don't want to leave you guys!!! Maybe I'll switch to a new device, but I will still be around, no matter what...
As for the Galaxy Nexus, other than LTE, and NFC, and ICS, the Photon beats it right out of the water!!!
I don't know if this is pure bad luck.... My apps nust conflict with the device.... I was running great with no issues until I installed avast! security... and for what avast! does, I'll take the repercussion of random reboots, if that is even the app causing random reboots....

Again, I'm putting the phone back to Sprint Stock with a handful of my most common and trusted app's (BofA, Credit Union, MSNBC, Pandora and a few games) It's likely some s**t I put on it so I blame myself, not the phone.
Like I said, at the end of the day, its a phone. I could not call my boss for something the other day. It was freezing, then it went into bootstrap recovery.....by the time I removed OtterBox and battery, I was pissed (Matter fact, now I remember, It was 4:15AM Saturday!!!! I got pisssed because I had to get up off my a** and come in here!!)
Anyway, #1. Im 100% sure it's me, not Photon. #2. I'm still going for the Galaxy Note! The spec's on the Note are outrageous!!

Wipe your phone clean and install each app one by one to test...but it's stupid that you've gone through that many photons..Besides, what do you need security for anyway? You're not installing random crap are you?

Antivirus on android is pointless unless you use a pirated apps/market. The "sky is falling" articles about infection rates on android devices never give you actual numbers just "Up 427 Percent" Tom's Guide. If the original infection rate is 500 devices worldwide, even with a 400% increase you still have a greater chance of getting struck by lightning.
There are a couple of locate/remote wipe apps available on the market that do not include antivirus. That would be a better choice unless you are using pirated apps/market.
Here a simple troubleshooting guide to follow. It's not much fun but should eliminate a number of possible causes of the issues you are having.
Factory rest via settings
Flash stock SBF (do not root or unlock)
Do not install any apps for 24hrs to see if problem persists (if no then goto 4, if yes then replace device)
Install only one app a day and see if problem shows up. If so, start over. This time eliminate the suspect app from the list.
I run into this a number of times when servicing phones and very rarely does the issue show up again when the process is followed. It generally tends to be app conflicts or an app update is buggy.
I realize that it's probably my fault. And I blame the phone for not being able to handle the apps like my Droid X, that's all.
One more thing, there are a few virus apps on the market... I've run into a few...

and bought another Motorola phone. I really didn't want to but I had purchased a HTC Rezound and while it was a really nice phone, it wasn't a Moto. I really wanted to keep it but the bottom line is, when I got home with it, I couldn't receive any calls. Well, not really ANY calls but in the couple days I had it I probably got 1 out of every 4 calls. I realized this when a friend called me on my land line and asked why I didn't answer my cell. He said he'd called me 4 times and, even though my phone was always close at that time, and it was on, it never rang once. I started experimenting by calling it using my land line phone and the result wasn't pretty. Like I said, about 1 out of every 4 calls. I think I missed more phone calls in the 2 days I had that phone than in the entire time I owned my DX and DX2 (yeah, it rings a lot ).
Anyway, when I purchased the Rezound, the guy at the store tried to talk me out of it. He said he had sold 3 of them to people who live in the town I live in and they all came back because they didn't work very well where I'm at. He tried to talk me into a Razr or Razr Maxx. Said they had the best radios of the bunch. I wasn't going to let him talk me into that though so I took the Rezound. Well, bottom line is I've had all Motos up until now and never had one bit of trouble at home. The cell tower is a mile out of town so that shouldn't be a problem. I looked at the signal on my X2 and the signal on the Rezound and the Rezound's signal was always 15-20 dbm higher than my X2. I thought about returning it for a Nexus but I've read to much negative stuff about the radios in them. So, I decided I wasn't going to fight it. Once again, bottom line is that it is a phone, first and foremost and if it doesn't do that, well, it's worthless to me.
So, I just decided to live with the locked bootloader and ordered a Razr Maxx. There's a few roms available for it and some good devs working on it. Nitro, Hashcode, kholk and more. kholk is working on kexec for it and I see he posted today that he's had it up and running on another kernel using kexec so it probably isn't far away. Just that it isn't using both cpu cores at the moment and he wanted to get that working. Anyway, like I said, I did what I said I'd never do again and bought another Moto. The Rezound was nice but I hate to say it, but, it wasn't a Moto. Didn't feel as solid, let alone it not working like any of the Motos I've owned. I found the old saying isn't always true. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Well I've been looking at phones too and the razr and maxx are really nice. They look and feel high quality. Isnt it sad that we can't have the best of both worlds and have the nice hardware with Motorola and have an unlocked bootloader as well? The radio, battery, and speaker volume on the nexus scares me. I have a promo upgrade I've been itching to pull the trigger on. I too looked at the rezound, but never bought one. HTC sense has way too much going on. And I'm embarrassed to say I'm back to stock in my phone and actually like the simplicity of blur, just not the speed.

Welcome back. "Moto sucks but it's still the best phone"
I've run across a couple of folks with the Razr and would agree it is a well built phone that feels very nice in the hand. I'm about 6 months out from my next upgrade but if I had to do it now the raxr would likely be my choice. And it sounds like its getting some dev love so I think you made a good choice.

I got this phone almost a week ago and loving it so far. My only problem is the hotspot. I did the sqlite hack where you disable verizon from making you pay for it. When i enable hotspot (the default program or even foxfi) i can get a connection maybe for 10 minutes then the connection gets messed up. It's like limited access and then i have to restart the hotspot and hope it fixed the problem. Anyone else getting this problem or know how to fix it? Would really appreciate it.
Bump to the top
A Co-Worker has the Razr Maxx and has Hot Spot issues with Connections on the standard app in which VZW charges. My guess its a Moto thing.
I pay the $30 a month for hotspot. I also have unlimited data and use it as my sole source of internet. Mine is rock solid. I will have my PC, laptop, Xbox, and tablet all connected. I watch Netflix, download torrents, everything. I never have any issues. I had major issues with my old HTC Thunderbolt after about 6 months of using it that way but not with the RAZR MAXX.
One tip I can give you is the phone can get really hot; I have a desktop tower with a "blowhole" fan on top. I always put my phone right over that fan so it stays very cool. If you are going to crank data through the phone you really need to figure out some kind of cooling option. I think that might have been what happened to my Thunderbolt. It got so hot and repeatedly so that it damaged it a bit and then had problems after that.
This happens to me all the time, I have asked Verizon about it, and keep getting the run around. The hotspot keeps working, the data connection seems to drop.

I'm so jealous!!! I did the root and hacked the phone to get free thether. It works for others but not for me . I really do love the hotspot but it just gets on my nerves to have to dissconect/not-working after 5 min. I just wish the hotspot was free.... just verizon trying to milk money out of you.

My friend has been using FoxFi on his new unrooted Maxx XT912

Maybe its because I use more data on my phone than tethered like 10 to 1.

I could not charge it with car charger, but could get the stock one at home to do it.(what does the green light meen any way.)

im guessing the notification led??? So if you get an email or text it flashes green (what im thinking)
it flashed the green led every time I tryed to turn it on. I just have this fealing the phone will die, becuase a lot of tech thing's have "signs" of death. My laptop is starting now, becuase it's turning 4 years old and I have used it fair bit.( It's a gaming laptop or I should say thats the #1 use.)
i asked a verizon store rep and he had no idea.
Can Verizon track how much data you are using when using the android wifi tether app??
Really hope someone can help me with this problem I'm having. When I connect my Photon to a lapdock I don't get the option to use Webtop. The only options I get are Music, Gallery, and Mirror Screen. If I don't pick an option then all I see on the lapdock's screen is the red bouncing Motorola logo. When I choose either of those 3 options it displays on the lapdocks screen but I have no control of it via the touchpad or the keyboard. I have tried two different lapdocks, an Atrix that I modded myself and just now a Bionic, and both behave the same way.
As far as I know my phone isn't rooted or modded in any way. Only reason I'm not sure is because I bought my phone used close to a month ago. I have done a factory reset and wipe cache several times since I've owned it hoping that might help but so far it hasn't. Currently I am running Android 2.3.5, System Version 45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.US, and Webtop WT-1.2.0-180. Thanks in advance!
The HDMI or USB pins aren't connected all the way in. Reboot and try again. That's the most common reason it shows, unless you broke web top in some way

I've rebooted countless times to no avail. When I connect the phone to the lapdock the phone charges so I assume that should mean the USB connection is fine and I get the Motorola logo on the lapdock screen so that should mean the HDMI connection is okay I guess. Ater a few seconds though the Motorola logo then starts to bounce around and that's all it does. I can choose Music, Gallery, and Mirror Screen on my phone and those show up just fine on the lapdock's screen. I have yet to use Webtop so I don't have anything to compare this to.
I have factory reset my phone a couple times hoping that would fix this but it hasn't. I'm assuming doing a factory reset would also reset Webtop and remove/modify any changes that have been made right?

I have mixed results with Webtop. Sometimes it works upon connecting the phone and sometimes it doesn't. I called Motorola support. They told me to take out the battery reinstall and then connect. This seems to work but not all the time.

Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't seem to do it. I remember trying that when I originally noticed the problem. Did that a few times before considering I should factory reset the phone. I just did it again but this time I did it like 5 times in a row and kept getting the same results everytime. The HDMI connection window pops up on the phone and the only options I have to choose from are Gallery, Music, and Mirror phone on display. :crying:
Just got done taking the dock area of the lapdock apart so the loose cables were out of the cradle part. Did that to test to make sure the usb and hdmi connectors were making a solid connection with the phone in case the dock was getting in the way. Same result. The hdmi connection window pops up with only 3 non-webtop options available like earlier.
Well at least you ruled out the HDMI cable as not faulty. The issue must be the USB cable. You stated that you had no control of the touchpad and keyboard. Does the Photon show that its charging?

Yeah the phone charges just fine when docked. Wish I could get this figured out. Webtop seems like a cool feature that I would use quite a lot if I could only get the phone and lapdock to play nice together.

:good: to you too Not sure what that is about though. I haven't fixed anything or got anything to work.
It might be weptop itself. I can't think of any reason why it wont work other than that it just denies connecting to the lapdocks. You might need to try unlocking and flashing a different webtop. Seeing as you are on 2.3.5 it might be possible if you didn't take ota to get to 2.3.5. If you did, you may just need a newer lapdock like the lapdock 100. You pretty much ruled out hardware so software is the issue

Try scouring Loki's thread about ubuntop. He, or someone else(?), may have mentioned something about newer webtop refusing connection. It maybe something as simple as replacing an apk if you decide to root

When I bought it it already had 2.3.5 so I'm going to guess the update was the OTA. As much as I would like to test out the lapdock 100 I don't think I'm going to do it. No place around me has one out on display for me to use and I'm definitely not going to buy it blindly since that would make the 3rd lapdock I've bought so far lol
Dang it. Guess I'll just admit I've been beaten by this and move on. Thanks for the help! I really do appreciate it.
I'm having the same issues. atrix lapdock, 2.3.5 ota update. i get unsupported device on my phone and those three options.
im trying to find a webtop update if possible.. phones rooted but not unlocked because of the freaking bs ota update that i THOUGHT was going to be ics when it showed up 2 days before qtr4

I feel your pain, man. If you find anything out please share it. I would love to be able to use webtop on the lapdock I've had for about a month now.
Do you happen to have a mediadock? I'm curious if our phones would still show webtop if used with the mediadock. I don't have a 1 and I'm really not interested in buying one if that also won't work with my phone.

If by "mediadock" you mean the HD dock, yes... well, the Electrify does Webtop on the HD dock. My wife's does (stock, unrooted). Mine only mirrors, but I'm running CM10 and that not doing webtop is a known issue. Webtop sucks anyway (IMO), I'd rather have CM10. But to answer your question, yes webtop works on the HD dock. You just need to bring your own keyboard, mouse, and screen.

I know webtop works with the hd dock but I was asking ron if he had one to see if it would work with his phone since our phones are having the same issue.
I know a lot of people don't have positive feelings about webtop but that isn't my concern. I would like to get it working so I can at least try it. It is a feature this phone is supposed to have yet I haven't even see it on the lapdock I bought just for it.
