[Q] wifi hotspot error.. - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
Yesterday, I was just trying to enable the wifi hotspot feature, but it just would not enable.
I am using Wolfbreaks Xperia TWCM6 ROM, BB .67.
Tried all the fixes mentioned in the how-to for the Rom. It just would not work. As soon as I tap on the option, it says error and closes itself.
I tried using Wifi Tether, but as soon as I starts, it prompts: Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application.
It does starts tethering, but I tried connecting other 2 phones. They do recognize the hot-spot, but keep say connecting...
any idea....

I tried the Wifi-static app. I dont know actually how to use it. Googled and found some static ip settings. Tried using it bit no use.
Does the stock kernel supports native wifi tethering?

When I try Barnacle Wifi tether, it does starts tethering, but none of the wifi devices are able to even detect the wifi hotspot...

So once again, I have to wait for SE to update the firmware... I hope they do it as said in August!

adbWireless is good if you're developing apps and the like. Allows you to use adb over a wireless network.

If it is like the other roms you do not need another app. Just turn on the built in wifi tether. No need to touch apn's.

Did you download the latest version from here : http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Works fine for me. Tested the newest, (3.1 beta 2), this morning. (ignore the Access Control error).
Also, Barnacle is working fine too : http://szym.net/barnacle/
Also tested this morning, although I got faster speeds with WiFi Tether.

Limited connectivity wi-fi. Is there any point?

If I have a dodgy wifi signal it will connect with 'limited connectivity' which seems to mean it dosent connect at all.
I then need to go and fick about with the settings to get it connected properly.
Does anyone know if you can stop it doing this, I have tried various wifi management apps to no avail?

oh, are you running a different kernel? for example doomlord's kernel?
Nope,all stock
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
Does it work the way that you would expect using a third party tether application?
official stock 2.3.3 from PC Companion?
oh yeah maybe you could try to get one of those third-party tether programs from the market ^^
Try barnacle pal.

Apps from the market that enable wifi work only on rooted devices. If yours is stock, un-rooted X10, then the apps will not work. Use PC companion to re-install your system. That should fix wifi tether.
