HELP! Problem with wireless tethering, please read for explanation! - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi all, I've got a bit of a problem. After finally managing to root, hack bootloader and install MiniCM7(latest) I installed Barnacle Wifi tether and it was all working fine. Now, I don't remember exactly why now but while using root explorer I cleared the Dalvik cache in /cache and /data. After doing that and going back to the menu every app I had open started throwing up errors which was to be expected as i'd just deleted all the settings or whatever for them. anyway, I tried to reboot my system and it failed to boot so I had to re-install through CWM.
Ever since then i've not been able to get barnacle or any other wifi tether app working properly! What happens is that it installs fine, asks for SU permissions and when I click start it seems to be running fine. When I try and connect on my PC I see Barnacle and am able to connect but as soon as I do it kicks me offline again, the other wifi apps don't even connect or show connected but I get no access!
I've tried a few different custom roms but it's much the same really. So far i've managed to wifi tether through the standard wifi tether in settings but it's not the same and seems a lot slower than usual, plus I want to be able to download on my PC and use Android market at the same time and I can't do that with the standard SE tethering options. I've also tried many different suggestions to get wifi/tethering back through various threads in this forum and others but to no avail so far.
So, I'm wondering if anyone might know what I have to do to get it all up and running again as at the moment i'm tethering through USB and using easy tether as it seems faster and more stable but i'd rather be free of wires and be able to use Barnacle again.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, they'll be much appreciated.

in to barnacle wifi tether app
go into settings
change Channel to 11
Skip wpa_supplicant (tick it off)
DHCP>Gateway = make sure your default gateaway is the same as your routers gateaway normally its 192.168.1.1
try those settings and see if that works

Hi I have never experienced this problem with In Paris v5. Those problems are usually router related. I would suggest the following:
1. Switch off router. Leave it off for a few mins and turn it back on again and try connecting from your tab.
2. If that doesn't work. Switch off router. On your tab go to settings->wireless and networks->wifi settings. Tap on your wifi connection's name and choose forget. Switch on router and scan for networks on your tab and try reconnecting to it.
3. If that fails too, download Wifi Fixer from market for free and see if that helps. Its an equivalent to Wifi settings on Android just like 'fix permissions' for the android system and app permissions
i have done that and my laptop and everything else can connect to the internet apart from the samsung tablet- do i need to flash anything as part of the custom rom install - to confirm all i did was wipe all data and a clean install of paris.v5 -

by "wipe all data", I assume you wiped cache and dalvik cache as well?
in that case, i suggest you try the third step I posted above which is to download Wifi Fixer from the market and it should help.
Try switching to a different channel on your router.

Delete the dhcplist file from your tab via root explorer or another file manager. Dejete the file then reboot the tab. If you google it you'll find where the file is located im at work and I don't remember lol good luck

Since you wiped data, you're not just forgetting a password for the wifi are you?
Thanks for the suggestions - i tried all the above and what and what made it work was the me deleting the dhcplist file - i rebooted my tab and after putting my password in it connected to the internet - so thanks again for all your help.!!

[Q] hp touchpad wifi problem?

Hi,
Hope someone can help. My Hp TouchPad with webOS 3.0.4 has a problem with Wifi connection. The wireless networks at college is recognised and is connected when I try. My problem is that when I bring up an internet page it gives me an error message that says"No Internet Connection".I have a number of other devices connected to my college wifi and they are all fine.
Hope someone can help.

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494458
I assume you are running CM9? I flashed the firmware update that can be found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=61) and I haven't any any trouble since.
Different partches available
its been observed if repeated chaches wipes dont work.. then try restarting the touchpad helps. also sometimes "forget"your existing wifi connection and re-enter the password. Also there are plenty of patches released by each of the different versions of touchpad. without knowing your version its hard to focus on the solution. please specify the version you have flashed your tp.
Hope it helps
wipe and reinstall
I had this issue. When connected to 2.4GHz networks for the first time, it works fine untill either the wifi radio is turned off/on again it does not connect. I would have to forget the network. turn off the wifi. turn on wifi. it would then recognize all networks, including 5Ghz, and then I can connect to the 2.4GHz networks again by entering the password. This happens when I reboot my HP Touchpad as well.
One simple fix, surprisingly, is not on the HP Touchpad itself. It is on your home wireless router. I changed my router's broadcast radio channel from 11 to 1. Issue resolved. Try changing your router radio channel to something different from what it is now.
If that does not work, then leave it at the new channel. backup everything and wipe/restore. I enabled the google account backup. after a restore, it downloaded all my apps automagically. My saved games were not saved however, so make a NANDROID if you're OCD about your saved games. My pictures were still on there tho.
download the latest KANG nightly build into a folder such as CMINSTALL when you initially installed CM9. reboot to clockwork mod and do a factory restore. under advance menu, wipe the dalvik cache and all cache. reinstall the KANG nightly build you downloaded and start fresh. the unit should automagically download all your apps. make sure you enable non-market app installations if you have non-mark apps installed. AKA from unkown sources.

[Q] Wifi tether not working FeraLab MIUI v2.4.13 ROM

I recently upgraded to FeraLab MIUI v2.4.13 ROM and everything looks great but I can not get Wifi Hotspot/Tether not working.
Application installed on rom is Wifi Tether for Root Users: If i keep open (no encryption security) then it's visible on my laptop and I can browse as well but for some reason I can not see this Hotspot on my Samsung tablet. Has anyone experience this issue?
I tried removed the build in Wifi Tether app and re-installed from marked and tried lots of device profiles but no luck. When I select profile as Generic ICS/JB (I know this is wrong anyway) but then my tablet can see it but can not connect to the device.
I have also tried to use Barnacle Wifi but that doesn't work and it says it cannot get SU permission. I don't understand why because I get prompt to allow super user access and that appears in super user permission tab but it eventually fails complaining about the permission.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S. I have locked boot loader but I don't think that should make any difference.
Try adding your wifi information on your own in your tab?

Thanks but I did try manually adding the ssid before and after re-installing the app without any luck. Hotspot conection was always appearing as "Not in range".

WiFi connection but no internet.

I recently restored my old inactive CMDA Sprint Evo 3D back to stock 2.17.
After booting it up, I connected to WiFi and successfully obtained an IP and connected.
I am restored to fully stock with S-Off with a Locked bootloader.
When I try to open the market or web browser I don't have internet.
The web browser says "Web page not available".
I am connected to the WiFi network on other phones and this computer, so internet is working.
Tried multiple PG86 .zip restores and RUU .exe restores.
Even wiped /Data, /System, /Cache and then restored using the PG86 .zip, so there were no files that might be left behind causing issues.
Can anyone help me fix my WiFi issue?
More info please
Thank you for the reply but that's really all that I have.
It's a Sprint CDMA Evo 3D currently restored to stock using RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe.
During setup, I connect to my WiFi and it connects successfully and shows full WiFi bars in the notification bar. I also tried skipping wifi during setup then connecting normally from the wifi in the settings menu.
When I try to use the internet, nothing will connect. Browser wont load a page and play store wont connect, wont even log into my google account.
Feels like the phone is blocking internet access, like though a firewall or hosts, but it doesn't have any additional apps installed and the hosts file is original stock since my /system partition is locked from the restore.
I just did the HTC official bootloader unlock, thinking the wire trick unlock may have been causing it, but it didn't help.
What other info would be useful?
EDIT: Just flashed CyanogenMod 11 with Android 4.4.4 and WiFi is working. No idea why stock won't work but AOSP does.

Cannot connect to my home wifi (only) after accidentally blacklisting it

So, the weirdest thing happened to me... I installed an app named WiFi Connection Manager from roamingsoft to play around, and I asked this app to blacklist my home wifi.
I then asked to un-blacklist it, but that failed, and ever since I cannot connect to my home wifi anymore: when I insert password it lists my wifi as "saved" but it won't connect.
Things I tried that did not work:
change wifi name
change wifi password
change wifi channel
reset bits and piece all the way down to factory reset the phone, install a different rom* and go back to original rom
* more on that below
Things I tried that did work:
change rom to lineage OS
change rom from android 9 to 8 (both original android one rom from the phone brand) (but going back to the original rom version 9 fails again, even tho I flashed form a newly downloaded file with nothing to do with the version I did somehow corrupt, and before I even logged in to android, so the phone did not even know it was the same user)
change the security of my wireless from wpa2 to something else (wpa/wpa2 for example)
oddly enough if I change wifi settings to have the same wifi name shared between my 2.4ghz and my 5ghz wifi, my phone will connect to the wifi, and it will connect using the 5ghz (the problematic one).
---
i also have the feeling a corruption to my nfc happened at the same time, but I don't know for sure, in case someone knows of a connection between the two problems let me know, but the nfc never worked on other roms.
When I flash a new image I flash a number of partitions including one named bluetooth, so I can't imagine which partition I am leaving untouched that has the blacklist in it...
Does anyone have an idea how an app -even if it had root privileges- could cause such low level damage, and more importantly how I could fix it?
