Im stock everything 2.3.5 and mine works. I dont subscribe to hotspot either.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboKern:
Not on stock ROM they weren't
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] segfaultex:
They are in the stock rom. I took my stock phone into a sprint store because it stopped being able to update them both through the menu.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboKern:
Sorry... let me correct myself, they previously weren't supported
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmarden:
Not to be contradictory, but they've always worked for me on stock as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboKern:
Strange .. not for me and Sprint just released a document stating they were now supported.

wireless tether for root users... should work great.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcatt:
yep always worked fine for me on both phones
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
wireless tether doesn't give off infrastructure mode on the nexus so many android devices including tablets can't connect to wifi tether app on nexus s.

What i have found out everyone is that the matrix kernal is working with the stock 2.3.5 and allowing me to 4g tether i will attach a pic
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremydk:
I'm trying to get Wifi Tether for Root users to work in infrastructure mode for us. Using 3.1 beta 2 works great for ad-hoc. SoftAP mode was non functional, and netd mode turns on the stock tethering -- which disables mobile data now.

I was able to get SoftAP working by remounting system and symlinking /system/modules/bcm4329.ko to /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko which resolves the softAP launch error.

However, now softAP is now also launching the stock tether, and again, disabling mobile data.

I know this was resolved on the HTC Evo, and we were able to bypass the authentication check, so I know this is tenable.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autoprime:
so youre saying 4g tether works.. but still no go with 3g tether?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
hmm.. i connect all my devices to my nexus with wifi tether. right now as im typing, i have my laptop, my og droid, and my roomates laptop connected. i dont set any settings, just broadcast a signal.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
all of those devices do ad-hoc mode which is why it works, find somebody with a xoom, lg tab, or samsung tab and it will not work unless those tabs have been rooted and ran and updated zip to allow ad-hoc mode, but android doesn't ship with ad-hoc connection on stock roms, this is a known issue. i don't want to root my xoom because when i travel i rent movies to watch on the plane
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer.pro.2000:
No, but if they weren't going to give it to customers that way like T-Mobile does with their Nexus phones, they shouldn't have let people have it in the first place.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSlack:
I have cm7.1, with matr1x 5.0, and both wireless tether from market and tether from settings menu work for my laptop.

I had netarchy, but tethering was totally busted by new radio.

I came from the hero forums, all I miss is the trackball.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
So you're saying that if i'm stock 2.3.5 (CWM recovery and rooted but otherwise stock) and I install the Matrix kernel that the built-in wifi tethering (the one in the settings menu) will then work, for both 3G and 4G? Or just 4G? Or am I wrong and confused?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callmesaul8889:
I have this exact setup and can confirm that 3g tether doesn't work. I have no 4g service in my area to test with.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
only 4G tethering is working, im sorry. ive been on 4G the whole time and at first assumed if 4G was working then 3G probably did also but after testing only 4G is tethering for me
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
Well I wonder if mathkid95 can figure out why his kernel allows 4G tethering to work, and if something can be worked out to get 3G working. I'd love to have 3G and 4G tethering working on 2.3.5, or at the very least 3G since most places I would be tethering don't have 4G service. Maybe it wouldn't ever require installing a new kernel.......
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callmesaul8889:
Agreed. Has anyone tested the stock kernel with 4g tethering? Im assuming most people tried to tether with 3g and assumed 4g had the same fate.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcatt:
thats like being mad that the cable company accidently let you have hbo for free then corrected it.

they dont owe it to you and never really "gave" it to you so just enjoy what you had. theres a dozen ways to get it for free anyway
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremydk:
I had working 4g tethering on a stock kernel with Android-Wifi-tether 3.1 b2 release on SoftAP after symlinking the broadcom module to /system/lib/modules/.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
How does one go about doing this? And can something similar be accomplished for 3G?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
this tethering process does it give off an infrastructure signal? i know wireless tether works just by downloading the app but it only gives off a ad-hoc signal which most stock android devices (ie xoom or galaxy tab) do not pic up ad-hoc
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremydk:
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

mkdir /system/lib/modules

ln - s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

This creates a symlink from where our module is to where the Wifi Tether app expects it to be.

Set device as "Nexus One", and change Method to SoftAP.

This is just a first step, but it's something.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiderep:
I tried this in terminal both on the phone and my computer and it keeps saying file not found or doesn't exist when it clearly does...weird...and it also activated the native hotspot which isn't good obviously. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I have double checked to make sure I didn't have any typos...

# ln - s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
ln - s /system/modules/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
link failed No such file or directory
#

No way creating that file and copying over the lib file with root explorer will work is there? Needs to be linked? Relative rookie here with command line stuff...

edit: we might need a kernel supporting netfilter iptables, forgot about that from my epic and moment dayz....

anyone know for sure?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Which version of matrix kernel does tethering work with? I run 4.5 and it doesn't work

5.0 doesn't work for me either. Are you guys talking native tethering or the app?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
Native 4G only tethering works with matrix 5.0, 3G is a no go
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Not the case for me. As soon as I enable wifi tethering I lose all data. Matrix 5.0. Are you guys that got it working on full 2.3.5 with the matrix kernel or are you just on the radio?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
here you go
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
Ummm no, you are getting the same thing as me. It drops all data. Try and run another device from your nexus, it wont do anything. I can however tether with wireless tether from the market, 3g and 4g.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
No coverage just sucks right here, I'm connected just no bars. It's powering the 360

Wireless tether from the market doesn't tether infrastructure only adhoc so most stock android devices can't connect eg xoom :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
it appears to work, my laptop can see the signal, it connects, but i can't actually view anything.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinsoku3g:
I am completely stock with 2.3.5 and though tethering shuts off my 3g data, I will try while connected to 4g later on. It makes sense network wise when you think about it, data usage is different for 4g then 3g, much more to play with. It would be nice of sprint to let us have that one
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
I have 4G and it doesn't work. As soon as I enable it all data drops
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleury14:
+ 1 it just doesn't work.

For the guy that wants tether to his xoom, and there's a ad hoc fix in the xoom development forum here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
I can confirm adding the $29.99 hotspot to your plan then allows both 3G and 4G tethering. I added the option, waited about 1/2 hour and updated my profile on my phone. Then turned on tethering (3G) and it worked. Ran speed test, got about 0.7 down and 0.5 up (poor service in my office building). Then turned on 4G. Stayed connected with hotspot active. Ran speed test (still poor service, 1 bar) and got 4.5 down and about 0.8 up. So there you go.

Interesting, you can still use data on the phone while tethered and using data on the other device (I was using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 so you can be sure I wasn't using ad hoc).

Speed tests on both the phone and tablet were consistent with each other. Ran about 4 on each, a couple were simultaneous even. Was getting about 4 to 5 Mbps down and 1 to 1.2 Mbps up every time on both devices, regardless of them being simultaneous or one being on the download and the other being on the upload at the same time. (I moved to the other side of the office where the signal is a bit better).

I posted the above in the "Did 2.3.5 cripple your tether?" thread....

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
Obviously I added the $29.99 hotspot to my plan and I can confirm that after adding it and updating my profile on my phone that 3G and 4G tethering both work.

If it is the radio or whatever, I'm sure there is a work around that can be done. If I can help with that, let me know and I'll do whatever, since I have it working currently and plan on leaving for the time being....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
On cm7 I added the hotspot option to my account but I can't get native tether to tether 4G

Got it to connect but it took 5 minutes before it started working and before the 3G signal went away
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremydk:
Stepping back, can anyone confirm that 2.3.4 with the new radio can still tether? If so, we should just be able to diff the related files between their 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 versions and figure this out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
2. 3.4 tethers 3g with the new radio but it will not tether 4G unless you pay for hotspot option
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremydk:
Sweet, in that case we should be able to use a modified framework.jar on a deodexed rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuglessPete:
Hey guys, a dev at Sprint did something to the source to disable tethering before compiling and sending out the GRJ90 ota. This is confirmed by building GRJ90 from source yourself, where it still in fact works (tried my own build) with the new radio and other changes.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiderep:
Sweet news man, sounds like future roms built from source should have it working then, I'm back on 2.3.4 waiting patiently for new builds from you guys.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcatt:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellcatt:
i geuss for those who wont root theres no choice if you have to to the wifi hotspot thing. i bought easy tether last year and it works great on 4g but its usb app and doesnt require root and has a $10 one time fee, otherwise wifi-tether is the best yet
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
For me when I turn the hotspot on after about 10 seconds my connection goes away, but about 10 or 15 seconds later it comes back. That is 3G, haven't tried turning it on while already connected to 4G. I have always turned it on, then turned on 4G and I see no disconnect/reconnect issue doing it that way. Overall though I see only about 30 seconds to maybe 45 seconds max and nowhere near 5 minutes....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
I do this also but mine does this stupid thing where 4G and 3G are both on, then it's 3-5 min later when the 3G icon disappears and only the 4G icon is there, that's when my tethering starts working, so annoying
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercluver:
I haven't seen that, but I haven't used the tether too much lately so this weekend I'll have to do some testing and see.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sdobron:
Anyone else live in this area and experience slow data? Fastest we've recorded was 1.5 mbps. Avg is 300-500 kpbs downstream. Tried to verify all APN settings with 4 different roms, these were correct. No change in speed.

Anyway to verify the radio is working correctly? I'm starting to wonder if it's hardware issue. (settings show hsdpa connection) I've tried stock radio, ota radio, and most recent the M2 radio. M2 has fixed gps problems, but still have slow data.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
Have you been using the proper RIL files with your radios?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sdobron:
Using Mikes latest atm, I'm using the recommended radio for this ROM (the ROM contains the correct RIL files).
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaw2012:
I live in the burbs as well, but the fastest I've gotten is about 3mb down / 1mb up.

Normal speed is around 1.5mb down / 1mb up.

Not as fast as others, not as fast as I expected, but still not terrible either. I've found the updated OTA radio the best. Maybe try flashing a different ROM and make sure your're using the correct RIL for the ROM your using. AOSP Roms use the G RIL I believe. Sense ROMS use the HM RILs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sdobron:
Basically att has poor network in the burbs then
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
I don't live there but travel there from day to day. What you 2 are getting I got also. I make it a point to check data speeds wherever I go. Speeds are much better in Harrisburg and York area.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sdobron:
Guess this is enough for confirmation, I've been going crazy trying to get 3G speeds...basically I'm getting edge 90% of the time.

HI,

I have faced an issue now a days that when i am rooting or unrooting my O1, SIM contacts were not shown over the phonebook but phone contact shown. I think may be its due to rooting or unrooting. but why is it so?? whenever i faced this problem i had checked all the setting, refreshed the setting and also restart my phone but the same issue persists. until when i removed the sim from the phone and then reinstall it, the problem solves.. plz help why it is so..?? what can i do to solve it..? :confused:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
Don't tell me you don't even know how to change the contacts display settings :)

mate! explore your beast, it has got millions of stuff to be revealed ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] droidaem:
Actually, also I can't set SIM contacts to be visible, it's only possible to move them from SIM to phone. I'm using CM7 by mik..

In official ROMs there is an option to make SIM contacts visible.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
If you can't make them visible, use export/import and choose import from Sim.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bhawan:
Contact problem

Champ u are not getting me.. i have already written above that i have checked the settings but sim contact not shown. i have also written that i have refreshed the same setting but not work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
SIM Contacts are never displayed in CM7 by mik

If you need to import contacts from your sim to phone mem.

then press the menu key while in contacts >>Import/Export >> import from sim

and import all

but if you need to copy a newly saved contact in phone memory to sim, use an app called contacts2sim (get it from market/Google)

Hope this helps now :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bhawan:
i have rooted (with gingerbreak) official rom v10d in which SIM contacts were shown.

Sorry to bring this painful memory up, but Gingerbreak needed a formatted SD card?! I've used it in the past with my SD card (both internal and external) filled with all sorts of stuff, and it still work (albeit it was a bit slower and took a few tries). And rule of thumb for anything relating to upgrading or the internal/external SD slots: BACK UP. It's so vital to do this, cause in the case that something happens, poof. =[ But good luck with the rooting!

I just tried to update my phone to Gingerbread using the OTA update in About Phone and it failed; I’m assuming it is because I have rooted the device (if not please correct me and tell me what I did wrong).

Could someone please tell me how to unroot my atrix before i use it as a hockey puck :mad:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArtificialMusik:
I posted a thread very similar to this. You should look around.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1184199

Now honestly, I have no idea why it didnt let you update, since I used SuperOneClick with Gingerbreak and it seemed to work after updating, Didn't really test out any SU apps but I still had it. To think of it, It's kinda useless for me to state that, however it states success...

One of the options for you, since you are still on Froyo and apparently rooted are to install Gingerbreak 1.2. I'm not 100% sure if it will work, but i do know it can't harm your device.

After you install Gingerbreak 1.2, you should root again, then after the reboot, reopen the app and unroot. This method should be flawless since you did re-root with the app. But again, Not 100% sure. And right now you can unlock your bootloader and just start loading if you'd like. That is a much easier and safer way to do it. Plenty of tuts on Android Dev forum here. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojojohnson7410:
lol don't worry about unrooting. I'll tell you that much.

It's not so much of a problem with root, but moreso the pre-test that accompanies the OTA. If you fail it because you use Titanium to clear out bloatware and stuff like that. even if you remove root, you still won't be able to upgrade. Instead, just use this method.

Just download the Automated Upgrade for PC Users and let your phone upgrade. All your data should still be there, but backup before just in case. Oh, and if you wanna root again after you upgrade (cause i mean, why WOULDN'T you want root?!), just use the preinstall method (hehe I'll leave this for you to search. it'll be good practice for the future, i promise =])

happy upgrading!
