Hi people,
I recently upgraded my SXP from rooted ICS 6.1.1.B.1.75 to Pre-rooted JB 6.2.A.0.400 ( found thanks to this thread ).
Everything went well, and the new version seemed to work, until i realized that the Wifi Hotspot function isn't working anymore (i used it everyday on ICS).
Also, tethering via Bluetooth doesn't seem to work.
My SXP wifi network is seen and I can connect onto it, but then nothing happens and there's no way to use the phone's data connection from a remote device.
I installed the 'WiFi Tether' app from Google play to give it a try, and the same thing happens.
However, this app gives me more detail and i can see what steps precisely block the connection, here is a screen of the error log : http://i.imgur.com/5ZhAAoF.png
Hopefully this'll help.
Has anyone run into the same issue? Can anyone confirm that the Portable Hotspot function still works on JB for Xperia P ?
It'd be kind of a shame to have to roll-back to ICS because of this....
Many thanks in advance for your help!

I've recently rooted my xperia play and found my wi-fi hotspot doesn't work. I've downloaded wi-fi tether apps but it doesn't seem to be connecting to the internet, it reads my connection but no access to internet.
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. I have something to ask.
Currently I am having an Xperia Ray. Rooted. Boot loader unlocked. Running Ray Onium v7 GB with Aire Kernel v7. Everything runs perfectly without a glitch.
However when I update to ICS, both stock ROM or Cook ROM (Ray Onium v6 ICS, JJ ROM 2.5 and team Kang ROM), I find that my wifi is not useable.
I'm sitting about 1m away from the router, the signal is excellent but I can't browse the internet or go to the market.
I have tried both with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4. However when I connect to an open network, everything is fine. I'm using WPA2 encryption for my Linksys 54g router.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I've tried with SEUS, no luck.
The point here is that it gets connected very fast, however there is no internet. On GB everything is perfect.
I have the same issue, everything perfectly on GB.

I've been having similar problems with my wifi since updating to ICS. My problems are a little different though. WPA2 network here, the phone can see the network fine and it connects quickly, I can browse and stuff just fine, but every so often the network just /disconnects/. Usually it'll reconnect a few seconds later, but sometimes I have to open the wifi settings screen before it'll reconnect, and sometimes it doesn't reconnect at all. When it doesn't reconnect at all, the settings screen says my network is either out of range (it picks it up the moment I hit Scan) or had an "authentication problem", and I have to manually connect to the network.
Kinda weird and very frustrating, because sometimes I'm connected for hours without a problem, and sometimes I'm getting disconnected every few minutes.
When SE released their alpha and beta ICS roms, the wifi either didn't see my home network, or it saw my home network but couldn't connect, instead just infinitely cycling through "Connecting, Disconnected, Not In Range, Connecting"
Same problem happens regardless of what kernel or ROM I use, it happens in CM9, AOKP and every other ICS ROM I've tried. :/
A similar problem it seems...
When I want to download an app via Google Play simply it doesn't start. I touch back button and try to download it again and voila! The same fast wireless..
But it simply does not start at first try. Not only Google Play downloads but also all other internet using applications do that strange behaviour.
WPA2 and 801n

I have two Rays at home... one on GB and one on ICS.... the ICS one has the same problems, I think switching your wifi router to WEP seems to help and so is changing to B from N.. but then you lose higher speeds and security... but that does seem to help. On the other hand the GB ray has no problems whatsoever....
Hope this helps someone figure out a solution

Your welcome. I just also flashed official Nordic 4.0.4 from here... And my router has something called " protected mode", that is says helps for that- if WiFi signals are too many around. Try installing WiFi analytics from google play... It's free-
use a free WiFi channel.
Turn on such protected mode if you can
I also activated something called "intellistream" that prioritizes streaming in WiFi.
So far, it's going well. This way I kept the 801n and WPA security.
Before this, I was sitting 7-8 steps away from the router and kept dropping connections.
Hope it helps.... No expert here.... Joined the forum for the same reason...
tomorrow after work ill test as much scenarios as possible. it cant be router related since i have the same issue with 7 different routers. 0 problems with GB, always the same issue on ICS.
connected solid and sound, no dropping in signal, but no internet flow whatsoever.. this is the only thing that keeps me on GB -.-
Any progress?
Yeah same problem with me.
There's something wrong with ICS Rom, that needs to be fixed
Replace file
Unzip and copy this file in /system/bin (replace with original). This should fix the wifi connection. You will need root for this.
So far, so good

Hey there....
It's been working fine for me now with the above changes and the 4.0.4 Nordic ftf that I flashed from here.... the 4.0.3 does seem to have WiFi problems, but not the 4.0.4.
Hope it helps....
Hi,
Probably this question was already asked, but I did a lot of searching and could not find a concrete answer.
When I had ICS ROM on my S2, Wi-Fi Direct was working fine and I was able to share files with other S2 phones running stock ICS. But after I flashed JB ROMs (first Jelly King AOKP and now Jelly Bam AOKP) the Wi-Fi Direct is disabled. I know it is present in options menu after I turn on WiFi. There seems to be a blank row which when clicked does nothing. (attached screenshot). Also the options Search for devices and Rename device are disabled and greyed out.
Is this a known issue in JB and there is no fix? Or are there any JB ROMS in which Wi-Fi Direct works.
Are there any workarounds? Please help!
Thanks!
I have noticed this too

sorry didn't understand what you meant..
Can someone pls help me out!
Thanks!
This is an issue with Galaxy S i9000. With CM9 / other ICS ROMs , there is a seperate WiFi Direct section which works, but in CM10 / other JB ROMs, the WiFi Direct screen is the same as in your Galaxy S 2
Wifi direct work fine on CM/AOKP, but only with this app here. For me, work fine on Galaxy s1 + Galaxy s2, both running Rom ICS AOKP M6.
Or, you can use this excellent app here, which is as wifi direct but without wifi direct.
If i helped, please press my thanks button.
You use AOSP/AOKP which I believe don't support the natively built in WiFi direct function. However, you can use apps for this: airdroid and WiFi explorer are just two great apps.

Hi,there.
As title,the hotspot on my mini pro doesn't work though the changelog said it was fixed.
The problem is that my laptop and my neoV could connect it,but both were unable to access the Internet.
I even tested it on CM7/CM9 and the hotspot worked well.
I did search here and FXP website,however,I don't see any solutions.
Does anyone experience the same issue?
Thanks in advance.
No reply means that I'm the only one suffering this issue?:crying:
BTW,this problem still exists even when I'm using FXP206 CM10.

I always use the kernel inside FXP's zip file.
So,may I ask which phone you are using?And the device connecting your phone could access the Internet?
Since my hotspot works fine when I use other roms like CM7/CM9 and stock.
Solved.I think I found the root cause.
My phone's hotspot function is limited because I am required to access the Internet via a specific proxy provided by our carrier.
Therefore I need to set additional settings on my laptop and neoV while connecting my phone.And now,yes,they both work well.:laugh:
My apologies for my stupid question.
Hmm...the weird thing is that I don't need the additional settings when using other roms.

when I turn hotspot on, it disable the wifi
Hi!
I use CM 9 on sony live walkman. Default kernel.
I do not use proxy, but when I active the hotspot, my cell phone disable the wifi.
So, when hotspot is turned on, I can connect with my notebook... but (of course) can't access the internet...
And If I turn on (again) the wifi, it automaticaly disable the hotspot...
Does anyone knows how to solve that?
Thanks a lot!
Hi there, I read a bunch of topics over the net on tethering on Android 4.4, but none of those fixes work for me.
I'm on a C6833, stock and rooted, but that's not the point, because I use that as my principal phone: what I use as tethering modem is my Xperia E1, which worked fine on 4.3, but now refuses to work on 4.4.
I know, I could root it and be done with it, but is it the real solution?
Every time I start the hotspot, the Ultra connects to it, but Chrome results always in the same error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET.
Does anyone know how to make it work like it used to?

I use my hotspot every day for my work. Since updating my phone there is no Internet on either z2 tablet or my laptop. I'm getting Internet on my z2 phone without any trouble it's just that I don't get any Internet via hotspot. I have tried everything that I found on Internet, changing APN etc but it won't work.
Any suggestions? Otherwise I will downgrade to previous software this evening, will that be hard? Hotspot is absolutely essential for me and without it this phone is useless to me.
Regards
Works for me (though I don't live in UK)
Maybe a factory reset helps.
