Just curious if anybody else had there stop working last night . Mine will come on and show that its up and running but when I go to hook up its not on my list of available networks? And no it's not my laptop, I also checked with my OG Droid and it doesnt see it either. I have tried reinstalling and Iget the same result .
Thank god for the new cwm Tether app. It would be no internet for without it . Any help would be appreciated .

Which rom? Wifi and Wired stopped working for me after Fryo. Gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 both give me some kernal unsupported error.

Ive never been able to get it to work either. My laptop wont connect to the network.
Sent from my Eclipsed and ICS themed X2.

Eclipse ROM 2.0.3, 2.3.5 based. The kernel error can be ignored, I get the same error, access control is unsupported with our kernel.
Be sure that WiFi Tether has ROOT access. It only works with rooted phones.
I have mine set up like this:
Device Profile: Auto
Setup Method: Auto
WiFi Encryption: Enabled
Encryption Setup Method: Auto
I have a passphrase set, changed my SSID, wireless channel is default, Don't disable Bluetooth is checked.
Enable access control is greyed out. It is unsupported by our kernel which is why we get the error.
I do not have automatic shutdown checked. Idle time is greyed out until you select automatic shutdown.
Preferred and alternate DNS are default, as is the rest of the settings dialog.

I tried just before and my laptop or tablet connected but wasn't loading any pages. I know it worked when I had liberty 2.3.4, man looks like I have to go back to 2.3.4. I tried both wifi tether app and the hot spot.

All I can say is try this:
Go into settings...applications...all...let it load, scroll to WiFi Tether. Force stop if it is running, clear cache and data. Uninstall it, then re-install the latest version.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I am currently using my laptop tethered to my Droid X2 running Eclipse 2.0.3. Download 1.43Mbps, upload 0.94Mbps.
Make sure you have root. If you are on Eclipse ROM, then you do.
EDIT: I may have found your problem. When you upgraded to the latest version of WiFi Tether, did you uninstall the old one first? I upgraded right after I posted this, and then experienced the same issues as you. It also shut down my WiFi and Bluetooth when I uninstalled it. I rebooted, but the phone rebooted itself after about 30 seconds, so when I got back into the phone I quickly booted into BSR, cleared cache/dalvik, rebooted, reinstalled the latest, and now it is working again with no issues.

So it's working for you then?

Yes I have been back up since reading your reply last week . Thank you , myphone is my only link to the internet and I dont know if I could live without it!
Anyways, Thank you!!!!!

Good to hear! Thanks for the reply.
Holy crap, I fixed something!

Used DoomLord? root and UNroot last night. Worked great both ways on a Samsung Exhibit II. Re ran and rooted my phone then installed the latest beta 11 version. Could not get it to shut down. Selecting stop gave no errors but app would not stop transmitting. Uninstalled and installed 2.0.7. No more problems. Works great. Also installed it on a Samsung Transform Ultra with no problems.

The area circled in the image, is not registering any touch. i cannot choose Motorola Widget, i cannot press the back button in Dialer, i cannot choose Sign In when you first set-up the Google Account. It seems like that line on the screen is dead or something.
i tried format data/cache/system/ in recovery mode and fastboot mode, i flashed several ROMs (Alien, Aura, piCRUST even sbf the original 4.5.91 from Motorola) to see if it's ROM-related but problem not solved. i even replaced the screen protector and its still the same.
anyone have seen this before and suggest a solution????
- Update: i also try Touchscreen Booster suggested in another thread, but still no help.
- Also, the navalynt ROM does have a new kernel, which i did flashed, but the problem is still there. i flashed back to Alien with the default kernel, the touchscreen is still messed up.
anyone suggest something???
Reboot into CWM and do a "permissions fix".
As your last resort, clean install stock 2.3.4 with full wipe.
If that doesn't help, then unfortunately your digitizer is dying.
Did you skipped the MotoBlur account setup?
If so, then try to set it up and see if that helped.
Cheers!

I tried permission fix last night and the problem is still there. i also did a clean install of stock sbf 2.3.4 and fully wipe everything i can think of ( i thought it was the webtop hack that cause the problem, so i tried to delete all ) but its still there. i think this might be a hardware problem at this point. this sucks
also, my phone's root is now crazy im on Alien 4. it denied access of Quickboot but granted access to Root Explorer, which is weird.
ok, so i have tried everything i have searched on this forum: permission fix, pdsfix flash, change the value of touchpad.cfg, reflash stock sbf twice, and im still having this problem (see picture below). anyone know what is the symptoms of this ????
(i flashed ROMs occasionally, from stock to Alien, to Aura, to Homebase, i also tried webtop hack over hdmi).
anyone can help define my screen problems like in the picture???? i press one spot and the screen registers 2 touch. i now have 2 dead area on my screen.
Holy hell this is EXACTLY what my phone is doing.Except mine is randomly touching the top left corner of the screen. So when I type it enters the letter q no matter what letter I hit. Today it got so bad that everytime I hit the backspace button it would type q 5 times.
It seems asthough the multitouch hack seems to scew up the digitizer.
When I "hit" the phone (against my hand, and the phone is in a Otterbox) sometimes it would fix it. Or if a press hard on certain corners of the glass.
I reflashed the phone today to Home Base, and it hasnt done it since. I even ran Quadrant and Smart bench for a hour, while running at 1.3Ghz, and it didnt do it. So its not the phone heating up. But I am not certain its fixed. Its very random.
My only answer is the digitizer. Which is gonna suck. Not going to be as easy to fix as a iphone..

[Q] can't connect to Kies

No matter what I do, I still cannot connect to Kies with the GT10.1 3G version. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
Johnny
Try to connect wirelessly. Works for me.
Both Systems on Same WiFi?
Are the two systems you want to use on the same WiFi network? If you want your PC to access your Tab, then your PC needs to be hooked up to your router, and your Tab needs to have it's WiFi function on and setup to connect to that same router.
From my understanding of the directions, Kies does not operate through the air using the cell network (ie: 3g, 4g, etc).
Sorry I'm talking about Kies via USB.

Same problem here as well. Bought this piece on sunday. I was never able to successfully connect to kies from my 64 & 32 bit laptops. Worst part is the software is too buggy and there is an update available, am not able to download it because of this stupid kies. If any one manage to resolve please let me know.

Same here..I also have the 3G version..i need to do a factory data reset to connect to kies...then after restoring from Titanium back up all my apps..it happens again,cant connect to kies..so now I'm just gonna wait before there are any firmware updates before i go through the tedious again
Kies version 2.1.1.11124_17 and it just won't allow my galaxy tab 10.1 to connect.
It stays forever on "connecting".
I have installed it on two computers. My phone Galaxy S2 can connect fine.
Googling for a solution: I haven't found any.
Please HELP!!
I have the 10.1 4G (GT-7500D). I have managed to get it to work - kinda.
That is to say, I have installed it on 3 PCs in the home (Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Home Premium - all 64bit) and it worked VIA USB... ONCE on each computer. After the initial install I can connect exactly once. The only way to get it to reconnect is to reset the tablet back to factory defaults. Hardly a solution. Interestingly enough, it works VIA wireless Kies with no issue, however, you cannot update system this way. Going the USB route the software must be storing or changing a setting on the tablet that unfortunately prevents it from reconnecting a second time VIA USB (hence the reason a factory reset will allow it to connect again - once).
Has anyone tried changing the usb debugging mode in settings> applications> development instead of the resetting to stock? Not saying it'll work but wortha try if not tried yet.

Did I mention I've tried reinstalling, USB debug mode, different ports and level 27 incantations? )
Nope. I don't think you mentioned that.
I'm really suprised the level 27 incantations didn't work. Maybe level 28?

just don't use kies...its a piece of junk!!!!
if you cant upgrade from the tablet...download the latest odin file from here and flash it using odin in the PDA slot.
http://sampro.pl.com
same problem here too
I am able to connect my P7510 to USB, just Kies will not recognise my tab. Does recognise it over Kies-Wifi though. But firmware updates are not supported over Kies-Wifi... Not Good...
Got Latest Kies, enable/disable USB debugging, reset Tablet did not help. Stuck in a rut. But as HC3.2 no longer supports USB Kies mode (and my tablet started out with HC3.2, being as new as it is) I am for now stuck with waiting for OTA updates, few and far apart as they are...
Ah well, could have been my other tablet (Archos Gen8 43), which has even less options (Froyo).
Kies?...Nothing to do here.

Mine works fine. I used the test app from the galaxy S2 forum, I then got voodoo rootkeeper, if your rooted, from the market and installed and ran it it will temporarily unroot. Then install the test app and sign in. Obviously this is UK only and you need a sky account. When I'm not using it I just reroot using voodoo

Sky Go in Italy, on Android devices, it's an exclusive for Samsung Tablets. May be there are some commercial agreements between Samsung and Sky...
They told me that it's an exclusive of samsung's tablets but in the next moths there will be an official Sky Go app for any android devices

[Q] I hope this is a stupid question...

I've made to the point of flashing Bamf Rezound Ics V2.0 on my only-hours-old Rezound and I've got a couple issues i can't figure out.
First, I cannot get any version of wifi tether to work. It LOOKS like it's working, but nothing find's it's signal.
Second, whenever I flash a kernel I get "main version older" in the bootloader update.
Not sure what I'm missing, but I could use some easy help.
There is a zip somewhere on xda that you flash prior to flashing the rom to nix the main version issue, makes it a really low number. Not sure about tethering, I don't use it.
Sent from my Rezound
What version of wifi tether? Also make sure you are using the app that comes up first when searching for wireless tether. Should look like this when opened:

Before going and flashing kernels, make sure they are ICS kernels. So it can be compatible with your rom. Also if you like BAMF, give Nilsp business sense Rom a try.

I'm the kind of geek who typically flashes a lot more kernels than ROMs. The problem I was having with flashing kernels was tied to the main version, which the .zip tool fixed. I flashed an older kernel (possibly GB/AOSP?) at first that basically soft bricked the phone, but reflashing the ROM fixes that easy enough. I was VERY close to going to Nils B-ICS because it had Wifi Tether built in and working, but the solution to my problem was in his "Added and Modded". Had to change the profile and check "Routing Fix" like his OP says.
So, the whole solution to my problem was flash the versionLOW.zip, then the ROM, then the kernel, then install Wifi Tether, change the profile, and check Route Fix. If I'd flashed Business Sense first, I probably wouldn't have had any of these issues, but I didn't.
The answers were there, but i just didn't read enough to know what the tools I was looking at were for.
As always, it's great to be at XDA.

Team Perfection Objection issues...

Greetings... I have loaded Team Perfections latest Objection with all 3 RCs according to instructions and have noticed the following two issues. First I am not able to encrypt the device... this is a requirement of my company to have corp email. Second, when I try to enable portable hotspot mode Setup crashes.
I have looked around for another mention of this but have not found it so if it out there I apologize in advance for the spam.

Darkside seems to be the issue. I stopped using it after the initial ROM install. So basically, follow the steps EXCEPT DON'T USE DARKSIDE, and you'll be fine.
Just checked my hotspot, it's working just fine.

Agreed don't dark side I couldnt get anyone of then to install until I just did them as non wipe updates. I did the base then rc1 let it boot then rc2 boot then rc3 boot. no wipe just flash.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
I have tried with and without the darkside wipe. I get the RC1 to install and it starts to reboot, but when it gets to the last dos page or whatever it is and the bottom lights come one and it vibrates but then the screen just goes black. The bottom lights stay on and it keeps vibrating but the screen will just stay black. Even after 20 minutes.
My problem must be somewhere with the busybox thing. I even use CWM to fix permissions..
After the initial install, i downloaded busybox, installed it, launched it, hit the install button, then downloaded Rom manager, installed it, launched it.
You need to hit Reboot into recovery first for superuser to popup to grant Rom Manager root permission, then now you can hit Fix Permission, after that, I rebooted into CWM and installed the RCs
I followed that exactly and still have the same problem. Just doesnt make any sense to me. I skipped the rom manager part before because I thought you could just fix permissions in CWM but even after using rom manager and allowing SU permission I still have the same problem after flashing RC1. So annoying, I have read through the whole damn thread and tried flashing about 40 times now.
Maybe try fresh downloads. May have a corrupt file somewhere.
