It sounds like a routing issue, i am pretty sure all connections are routed to the mobile 3g/4g side. See if you can ping or connect to your rezounds internet address from the wifi side. But if your gps app only opens a server port on the wifi side then we may have to make a change to allow for local routing.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Alright when I try to connect my computer says "connection timeout" then appears to be connected but wont open pages... It says its not connected to the internet...
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Make sure to check routing fix.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I did :confused:

Ya know... It might help if I had my mobile network ON :facepalm: :bang head: :screwy: epic fail

This is on the WiFi Tether site.....

This is on the WiFi Tether site.....	WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.2-pre1 *** EXPERIMENTAL *** .......Do You have any thoughts on it?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Experimental is fine, the app has been in beta for a long time and my changes have only been beta tested by by a few hundred people, vs the few thousand that it will soon have. Pre = prerelease, not a fully tested release yet, but it is the same code I've been working on for nearly a month now :-)
[HTC Rezound] snowman122:
Where is the link for the new one I click the link you provided and it shows the 3.1 14 where is the new one help please
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I too would like to know!
[HTC Rezound] snowman122:
I found just click download on top of the page of the link and it is the first file click download and install just make sure to uninstall you're old one or else it won't install!!:D
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Awesome work can't wait for full release!
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Hah so it is. It's listed in the downloads section in the link to the other site.thanks
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Thanks...That is what I was wondering...

============

Thanks...That is what I was wondering...If the Experimental version was the code you were working on. Your version is working great...Why change..lol
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Actually the new file includes a standard countdown timer not in the last beta I posted. The standard timer simple counts down down from the provided time and then shuts off the hotspot when that much time has passed.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Installed the "Experimental version"...

Installed the "Experimental version"...Congrats on being added to the Authors list on the official app!!
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Thank you, it is nice to see my name join the others :-)

[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
just tried out your gb version (flashed in amon ra) running rezROM 1.6. I was able to get it connected without encryption, but with encryption, it shows up on my laptop, enter encryption, but it times out while trying to connect.

Followed your 12 step program from post 1.

Any ideas?

Just a heads up that libwtnativetask.so is missing, I didnt delete any library files only apks.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Thanks! :-)
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
With 14C make sure you select netd as the connection type. Also make sure you enable routing fix. See if that helps. Being able to connect to the hotspot but timeout on connections is an indicator of a routing problem. Also try accessing the web from your device while tether is running. VZW may also be stepping up blocking of those who are not paying to tether.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
The file is in the APK, there may be something wrong with the way your rom installed it. The APK has not changed since it was first posted so the file should not just dissappear from it. Try a different version such as the new official 3.2pre-1 from the download section of the official android-wifi-tether website. If you continue to get this issue then something in your rom is causing the library not to be unpacked and placed into your data/data folder when the app is installed and I recommend reinstalling your rom from a verified downloaded version (check those MD5 hashes!). Alternately you can redownload the APK again, rename it to zip, open it on the computer and look into the lib folder, you will find the library file where it should be under lib\armeabi. You could also manually copy the library to the correct location by hand and set permissions but I am not going to go into that because too often something is mis-keyed and then it doesn't work. If you can do the manual stuff awesome, give it a try, otherwise I recommend retrying from scratch if a simple APK reinstall doesn't fix it.
[HTC Rezound] cooldman224:
Thanks for the help, fortunately I didn't have to copy the library to the lib folder of the Rom. The cause was that I was having issues with root, I thought the root was correct but wasn't. Now that the root is corrected, I am using 3.2 pre1. I followed your directions with setting the device, NetD, and the routing fix, wireless tethering is working correctly! Keep up the good work and maybe you can also help out the wired tether application as well! :laugh:
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
I, for one, would love a working USB tether app.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I agree but until we have ICS source and rebuild the kernel with the required driver wifi tether will just have to do :-)

GB on the other hand should have it if anyone has fixed the driver, I haven't tried. It may need to be added if HTC removed it also.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Glad you got it. Wired tether is actually built into the OS already and just need the correct kernel drivers, see my last post. :-)
[HTC Rezound] neowisdom1031:
Can you guide me as to where to find the specific IP you would like me to ping?

Also, just an update, I've contacted the developer of the GPS app again, and yet again, no response. :/
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I have to agree, if someone isn't interested in this thread then they obviously would not be here and would not have read as much as they claim. I appreciate everyone who uses this app and I am glad I was able to help them to enjoy it. What would be even better would be for someone to use my work to solve this same problem on another device which I am sure is bound to happen. Speaking of all I updated the primary post, updated the instructions which were getting a little dated, and posted a copy of the official experimental version in this thread as some people were just having too many issues finding it. Essentially I reduced the friction people have to deal with installing for the first or next time. Also I am now officially a developer and committer for the android-wifi-tether project...AWESOME ;-D See list here
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
The ip address will be that of your rezound as a hotspot. For example if you setup a hotspot as 192.168.2.x your rezound should be 192.168.2.254. Let me know how it goes, ping should reply with a response. Also try pinging a device that connects to your rezound from your rezound, this should also work. You can get that device's ip address from the device or from the rezound if you are using an access list.
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
Congrats man! Always cool to be recognized by the recognized!!:good:
[HTC Rezound] neowisdom1031:
Ok, I'm getting a response from both directions... Pinging the Rezound from a connected device, and pinging the connected device from the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Ok do a netstat -a before running your gps app copy the results and then run you gps app and repeat. Then between the two you should see one extra listening port on the second go around, I recommend disconnecting from wifi and 3G to reduce the number of connections shown. Let me know what you find. If you need help paste both lists and I will have a look.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Still running great Gates. And gratz on the new title ;) . Now that you've tackled the network side of things, we need a tweaks app with yer name on it. Thanks again gates!
[HTC Rezound] neowisdom1031:
OK. It looks like on the rezound (GPS server running) a random port is opened within a range. I don't know the waxy range but I was seeing ports between 30000 and 59000. On the kindle where the client was running port 3725 is opened every time the client is running. On both ends though no IP is present. Netstat returns :::port (port being the port number not the word port) for the local and foreign address. The state for both is displayed as "close". This was the case when both were connected to the same wifi connection and with the kindle tethered to the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Hmm what's the name of the app?
[HTC Rezound] neowisdom1031:
TetherGPS. there is also a lite version which exhibits the same behavior. Both are on the play story.
[HTC Rezound] k2trill:
Ohhh snap! I just noticed the title change after this post! Congrats man!
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
If I read the right it seems this app does not do tcp connections. It looks like it communicates using broadcasts. Out of curiosity try solution listed for ICS problems on the free version, where you turn off automatic broadcast address and instead enter the ip address of the client device (nook for instance). And let me know if that helps.
[HTC Rezound] neowisdom1031:
Ding ding ding! We have a winner! I don't know what I didn't try that before. :/ I Guess I need to work on my trouble shooting skills a little more. Heh. Thanks for all you help!
[HTC Rezound] bond32:
Anyone have any tips on getting this to work on viperRez 1.0.3?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Unless I am mistaken it looks like ViperREZ is a mix of various device ROMS, so unless it is correctly reporting that it is an HTC Rezound then auto detection is out the window. See if it works by selecting Rezound or Google/Nexus. Don't forget to check NETD. Also I can setup the wifi tether app to detect new devices. We just need the device information which you can get from your logcat then you go to start wifi tether. I added some debug info that is spit out into log cat reporting the name of the device so let me know what it says.

If it still does not work with the Rezound/Google/Nexus selected with NETD then something in the wifi driver or wifi device name has changed and I will need more information.
[HTC Rezound] Luke8400:
This has always worked for me in ViperRez 1.0.2 and .3. I have beta 15 public test 2 with Rezound selected. I didn't have to change any settings from my previous ROM (Scott's Clean ROM)
[HTC Rezound] bond32:
On the latest viperRez, changed the settings to "Netd" and checked "wifi driver reload" and "routing fix". On both "Google Nexus One" and "Rezound" profiles still no luck. I am able to connect my laptop but no data happens.

Edit: I need wifi tether so I am going to keep trying different roms. I am going back to a GB rom, see if I can make any progress.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
That changes things a bit. I was not aware you even were able to get a Wifi Hotspot open. Use Rezound ICS NetD Wifi driver reload and routing fix, turn off access control (just for now) and start a hotspot. Reboot your computer and try to connect again. Let me know how it goes :)
[HTC Rezound] bond32:
I was able to get it running on clean Rom 1.7.5 (GB) with your recommended settings. When I get home tonight I will put back on an ICS Rom, preferably sense 4 either viperRez or newts.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Personally I have been happily using cleanrom latest developer edition, it's not bleeding edge but it works great for me :)
[HTC Rezound] bond32:
Agreed, cleanrom and conrom are my favorites. I am using viperRez at the moment and loving it though. Still trying to troubleshoot tether on this Rom. I'll post some results later.

Success! Setting the profile to "Generic ICS" and "Netd" with routing fix checked and it works perfect on viperRez 1.0.3.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
I've had no problems with ViperRez as opposed to other ROMs. Set profile to Rezound, netd, and routing fix as always. WiFi encryption doesn't work for me in 3.2pre1 though (SSID doesn't appear and can't connect when manually entering it, but no reported problem from WiFi Tether)
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Can you provide a log cat of wifi tether running with and without encryption, It may help in resolving the problem.thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
Interesting - i am using Newts Sense 4 (3.2.1 ver), and am haivng no problems with 3.2pre1, including encryption (ironically, i just looked, and i am still using the Nexus (LTE) profile)..
[HTC Rezound] bond32:
That's what I'm on now. Got it working with the "rezound" profile, netd, and routing fix checked.
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
What kind of speeds is everyone getting? Looking at the bottom of the tether screen in 3_2_pre1 im arouind 600 kbps. The wifif connection doesnt drop ouit but data does just stop in its tracks. Similar speeds for anyone else?
[HTC Rezound] bond32:
What are your settings? I had mine drop connection but I think it's something with the phone taking over WiFi. I'm on viperRez
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
Using Nils 3.6. It will actually work on a few settings. ICS Generic and Rezound profile are the ones I get connections on. What are your speeds like?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I thought I would share this with everyone in case anyone was wondering why Rezound and ICS Generic profiles both work.

ICS Generic and Rezound are identical except where NetD is the default method on Rezound. I didn't see the sense in having a Rezound entry that only worked on GB, this way it just works.

If you select "Auto" and your phone is auto detected properly as an HTC Rezound then the Rezound profile is used. It will continue list as "Auto", because on each hotspot start up it auto detects the type of device, this is how auto detect has always been handled.

Rezound defaults to using NetD if method is set to "Auto". You can override with NetD or Wext for this device.

If your Rezound is running GB then the corrected device names are used (for NetD) with the assumption you are using the Rezound GB AP-Mode patch zip in the first post, if you are not simply select WEXT (NetD will not work on GB without the patch). Wext will work patched or not.
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
What are the speeds looking like?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I'm getting 1933kbps down and 1047kbps up running speed test on my Xoom tethered to my Rezound. 3G only around here. I'm happy with these speeds :)
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
Wow that's awesome. I don't know what is going on with my tether. It's frustrating
[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
I had to go back to 3.1 beta 14. The current release has some severe issues with hanging traffic and not responding. 3.1b14 works just fine on the Rezound, just set Device Profile to Generic ICS or Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
If you can pull a log cat when the data drop out is happening I should be able to figure out what is going on. :)
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
I am running Newt's OnE XxX with the latest 3.1 from the market (or playpen, or whatever). It seems to be working okay but I have no 4g and marginal 3g at home so I haven't tested it much. What are the changes in the 3.2 beta and should I upgrade? Were people having the stuttering problem in 3.1?

BTW, that wouldn't be Screven, Ga. would it?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Indeed it is Screven, GA.

3.2pre1 is mostly a feature upgrade (Several timers and data counters to help limit hotspot usage) from my 3.1 beta but it also makes my 3.1 beta changes official (Rezound support for GB & ICS) as I am now a committing member of android-wifi-tether.
[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
Pardon my noobishness but how would I go about doing that? I assume Terminal Emulator...
[HTC Rezound] RoyHinkley:
Then that must make you the smartest guy in town! lol:D

I was born in Jesup and my SIL is from Screven.

I'm going to try 3.2pre1 then. Taking a trip up to McRae tomorrow and need internet for the kids. It should be a good test except there's only one brief spot of 4G and that's Brunswick.

Thanks for the reply and for all you do for us Rezounders!
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I am pretty sure I'm the only one that can do any kind of software development in Screven, it would be nice to meet others with my abilities :) I did kernel work on eclair fascinate before and trying to dev a few ideas I have for apps.

I am also working on making wired tether work on this device (both GB and ics) , think I'm on the right track atm.
[HTC Rezound] sjr19:
Hey Gatez, thank you - the app is wonderful! I think I sent you a PM, but i don't show one in my sent box lol :) I have a GS3 and running it on ICS/TouchWiz works like a charm. My question concerns JB/CM10 ROMs, do you know of a workaround to get the app to work on them? The app either starts and does not show, or starts with errors and cannot find the logfile. I'd imagine it has something to do with the needed files moved in JB for some reason. Anything I can look at to try and find out? I wanted to get encryption or access control, something native tether doesn't have yet on those ROMS. Thanks for any info!
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Nope I do not have any CM10 devices so testing isn't possible but if you could send me log cats and the profile your using it maybe something I can fix, also if you can find out what your Wifi device name is that helps to "ip link" On the terminal. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] sjr19:
Thanks, I'll do this tomorrow as i go to work in a little bit and get back to you. Take care!

[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Yeah...Sounds like a GB/ICS glitch. Because I have not seen MSS Clamping as an available option under ICS, only on GB roms. Your Titanium Backup explanation makes sense, saved settings from when it was installed on GB, loaded on ICS and caused the issue :)

ICS RUU wifi tether issue

my rezound was on GB and I used your wifi tether solution which worked great. Thanks! Recently installed the ICS RUU from android police, and I am s-on, rooted and unlocked. wifi tether does not seem to be working - not just stuttering. I tried open garden, android tehter, barnacle, etc. Is your ICS fix applicable or am I just such a noob? Read thru many of the posts and I am confused on this topic.

Im only sitting around 4-600 kbps. Im on Venom ROM, S-ON with ROOT. I did install WiFI Tether from Titanium Backup coming from GB but I did install and reinstall WiFi Tether.

[HTC Rezound] manbat:
I had trouble after Titanium restore from GB to ICS....

=======================

I had trouble after Titanium restore from GB to ICS....because of the settings I used on GB. On GB I was using the clamping option...no such option on ICS. The backup I restored from GB, restored the settings. With just a new install the "GB settings" were retained. So that is why I used the "clear data" in the Applications menu (Phone Settings) for WiFi Tether. After a fresh install and pref setup everything was fine again. I made a fresh Titanium backup after that...deleted the GB backups...so now I have a fresh ICS for next time...lol
[HTC Rezound] SR3TLAW:
So no need to fresh reinstall is what your telling me. Just cleared data and reinstalled with no avail. I think I'm going to reinsll rom
