You could try one of the latest pre-build available here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

(Please uninstall your old install first!)

The upcoming release (version 0.9.4) will have some additional "features" ... which hopefully lead to more stable wifi-connection.

In detail:

* Channel-frequency can be changed (Default: 6)

* Different wifi-powermodes can be selected (Default: Active)

* Wake-Lock during tethering (Default: Enabled)

(And much, much more ...)

The final release of 0.9.4 will also be available by the end of this week in market - but please try it and report here.

Thanks.

Harry

For the past 2 days I'm having the disconnect problem with Wifi Tether as well.

Also, when I Tether going into root (SU, Tether Start/Tether Stop) I'm having the same problem.

1.42 RC33 / Wifi Tether 0.9.3
[G1 Android Development] i208khonsu:
I have been having the disconnect problem as well. It started happening shortly BEFORE installing the GUI app. I believe an update to the WiFi Toggle app is doing this where it will go hijack your WiFi to check for networks then turn it back off. Today I uninstalled WiFi Toggle as I wan't really using it anymore and haven't had a problem yet.

Can other people having the disconnect problem confirm or deny that they also use WiFi Toggle?
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Do you have shopsavey installed?

I haven't tested my wifi connection since removing it, but that app has been turning on my gps and wifi randomly, maybe that has something to do with it... I'll test it today...
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
FYI, After removing shopsavvy I've been tethering without any issues for 1 hour. Can someone else thats having issues remove shopsavvy and verify?
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
Parrothd,

I just uninstalled Shopsavy as of 1:05pm today. I'm at work and I'm currently on my laptop Tethered running Wifi Tether, version 0.9.4. I'll leave this connected and get back to you on the results.
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
Parrothd, Uninstalling Shopsavvy for sure did the trick. Nice!!!!

I've been connected since my last post without any interruptions.
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
Parrothd, just confirming that I'm still connected via Wifi-Tether to lappy about 3 hours Uninterrupted.

For sure ShopSavvy was the cause of the dropped internet issues.

You are awesome for figuring out Shopsavvy was the problem of this!!!!

Thanks!!!!
[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
Yea, I was noticing my gps and wifi were randomly turning on, seems shop savvy is tracking locations and other stuff...

Maybe in the next update published in the market harry_m should add a note during the install that shopsavvy may interfere with tethering...
[G1 Android Development] poorboy168:
After uninstalling ShopSavy I have also been on for the past 3+ hours...

Thanks for figuring it out.
[G1 Android Development] pHolla10:
AWESOME

Uninstalling shopsavvy fixed my connection issues as well. Thank you so much for figuring this out.:D
[G1 Android Development] The Great NY:
hey whats up guys,

i was having the problem as well with the disconnects. but for those of you who love having shop Savvy and still want the Tether without disconnects. here is how you fix the problem.

1. On your G1, open the Shop Savvy APP

2. once Shop savvy's screen shows up, SELECT settings

3. select PRIVACY

****you will see a phase that says "find my location" with a button to the right that will say "ON"****

4. press the button, now it should say "OFF"

5. Exit out of Shop Savvy

Voila.........no more disconnects. I have been tethering for 2 hours non-stop. happy tethering.
[G1 Android Development] madprgmr:
From my understanding, after some period of time, the phone disables wifi when in sleep mode. You may not need to use a lock via the PowerManager, a WifiLock (android.net.wifi.WifiManager.WifiLock) may be sufficient.
[G1 Android Development] The Great NY:
i dont think its the sleep thats was causing the problems everyone was/is having....if you keep the phone from sleeping it will still break connection with computer. i tried this personally.

using the method i just posted i was Tethering for over 2 hours with/without the pone sleeping.
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
I just reinstalled ShopSavvy and will make the changes as said.

Thanks

Thanks again guys for this amazing app. It works flawlessly!!!
[G1 Android Development] richardism:
Quick question

All my disconnecting issues are fixed.

I was wondering, my highest download speed on a file through tethering has been 120kbs. Was wondering if this is normal or not. I run the speed test through my laptop connected to the tether, got the whole 900+ once, but I don't really believe in those.

Thanks

Tethering on a Mac Pro

I am using version 0.9.5 and noticed that when I use my Apple Mac Pro, the tether works only when I Disable the Access Control. If I Enable the Access Control, no information is sent or received. I still love this tether and am tethered now as I type, but it would be nice to limit Access. Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication to this app! :D
[G1 Android Development] salamandar:
Limited Access is nice!

WEP would be MUCH more secure, especially in public where this app is likely to be used.

Is that a pipe dream or even a remote possibility?
[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
Watch out for our next release :D
[G1 Android Development] insanemonkey:
i did this and the app works flawlessly i luv it, not bad speeds too

im gonna try playing WOW and see if it works lmao

Thank You!
[G1 Android Development] salamandar:
weird, was working awesome, then i walked out of range of my laptop with my phone in my pocket, lost connection of course. Reconneted, NP, walked away again, for about an hour (meeting) came back says its connected but limited access, as if Tmobile has stopped Internet access. Phone browser wont work, Opera Mini asked me to do random key presses or tacjball movement until progress bar was full... WTF?

Is TMobile going a step further and locking down internet access now?
[G1 Android Development] salamandar:
Ok update...

Restarted Phone, PC (again), reset WEP & Access Control, reset WEP key, and i am reconnected, it may be a windows 7 issue though, still extreemly happy.

Thank you again!
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
The new update installed easily and is working great for me. Thank you very much.
[G1 Android Development] salamandar:
Crap, I just don't damn get it. It just wont stay tethered, or i get limited connectivity (NETWORK, NO INTERNET) happens on Vista & 7.

I have tried re-installing, restaring (PC & Phone), seems like its ok lets me post a response that its working (see above) then fails and now simply will not allow network access. At one odd point even Steel & Opera failed to connect on the phone. What is going on? Is my previous suspicion (TMobile screwing with the internet connetion) even remotely possible.
[G1 Android Development] rshemeld:
this app is amazing thanks man!!
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
Today I'm having connection issues as well. Wondering if Tmobile is messing with the connection cause it keeps knocking me offline every so often, but all I need to do to get successfully connected again is hit "connect to network" (while the wifi tether app. is still running on the phone) on my laptop and everything works again.

This issue is nothing like the issue I had previous with the GPS option in ShopSavvy being enabled
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
update.....

I disabled WEP on the phone and left the connection open, un-secure and its been working without any disconnects for over 1 1/2 hours

has to be a firewall issue at the laptop side of things
[G1 Android Development] MindEracer:
I love this app. Thank you!!!! I've got it working with my Vista laptop flawlessly, but can't get ubuntu to connect witch is probably me I'm sure. I need to learn how to configure ubuntu to get it to work.. Has anybody got this to work with Ubuntu and if so how did you get it to work?

I've done a little research and I think it's my Wifi card that is making it hard to use.. So I tried using wicd and it has helped a little, but still can't get the card to connect. So if anybody has a Realtek RTL8187B wifi card to work please let me know how!

Should be totally the same as with Debian; check out the way I did it.

Issue with apps on sd

I've been using this since the earlier versions, but I recently moved my apps to my sd card and had to reinstall the tether app, it wasn't in the market so I downloaded the latest apk but I'm still getting the error "your phone is currently in an unknown state - try to reboot"

I'm not too sure what to try to have it running off the sdcard
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
I have this app installed from the market. i just read this article on gizmodo:

http://i.gizmodo.com/5195206/google...dent-for-carrier+specific-android-app-markets

i use tmobile usa so does this mean that this app is no longer in the market? and if it does will i still be able to keep it on my phone?
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
It will not be removed from your phone (yet.. I think there's some kill switch in there, question is if they'll use it.).

But you will not be notified of updates for it via the market any longer, so you'll have to go fetch updates yourself.
[G1 Android Development] metallicant:
FYI......For the last three days I've been running version 0.96 and I've been getting frequently disconnected while tethering(WEP enabled and disabled). GPS was disabled in ShopSaVVY and in the phone settings. Today I uninstalled and re-installed version 0.95 and I haven't had one disconnect.

Anyone experiencing the same problem with 0.96?
[G1 Android Development] laff4fun:

I am having the same disconnect problem. Though it seems to re-connect, no data seems to transfer...hopefully I can find version 0.9.5...

[G1 Android Development] mlevin:
I was using this app before and had no problems, but now when I run it and try to start tethering, I get "phone in unknown state - please reboot" or something like that. Rebooting, uninstalling/reinstalling/etc. haven't helped. I get the "start" and "stop" icons showing up simultaneously.

Any suggestions? I tried .96 and .97. Previously had .90.

Update: log says "tearing down firewall rules... could not open socket to kernel: operation not permitted. failed."

I have RC33 rooted with JF1.41 and as I mentioned, I have used this program successfully in the past.

Update: tried to do this manually via adb shell:

# /system/sd/data/android.tether/bin/iptables -F

/system/sd/data/android.tether/bin/iptables -F

Could not open socket to kernel: Operation not permitted

Wifi Tether Version: .97rc2 and .96

G1 Phone OS: HTC ADP 1.5 image

Laptop OS: Ubuntu 9.04

After enabling su as posted above everything seemed to go ok. The laptop connected to the ad-hoc network normally and got an IP address of 192.168.2.103 as it always did.

Routing does not seem to be working though. I can ping the phone (192.168.2.254) but nothing out on the Internet.

Look at the log I see an error related to iptables and filters.

I'm assuming the ADP 1.5 kernel does not have netfilters compiled in?
[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
Exactly! :mad:
[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
ADP 1.5 - Kernel-update to enable netfilter-support

Hi!

I've compiled a new kernel with netfilter-support enabled which can be installed on the official "ADP 1.5"-firmware.

Instruction:

*** AT YOUR OWN RISK ***

1) Install the official firmware - http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html

=== MAKE SURE THE NEW FIRMWARE IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY ===

2) Download the kernel-update. http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/adp-1_5-kernel-update.zip

(This will only replace the kernel! A wipe IS NOT NEEDED at this point!)

3) Copy adp-1_5-kernel-update.zip to you sd-card and rename it to "update.zip"

(Some people might want to read further ... others will know what to do now.)

4) Reboot the device into recovery mode by holding down the HOME key during reboot. When the device enters recovery mode, it displays a "!" icon.

5) With the recovery console displayed, open the sliding keyboard and hold down the ALT+l key combination to enable log output in the recovery console.

6) Next, hold down the ALT+s key combination to install the update. An "installing update" icon and progress bar (or a similar status message) are displayed ??when the progress bar completes, the installation is finished.

7) Press the HOME-BACK key combination to write the radio image, update the firmware, and automatically reboot.

Don't forget to install the latest version of Wifi Tether for Root Users.

Good luck.

harry

Is this compatible ADP1.5Hr3-A2SD from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/? Or do I even need to do this when I use that firmware?
[G1 Android Development] harry_m:
Netfilter is (as far as I know) already enabled in those kernels => NO, you don't need this one.
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
Oh, yeah, it does. Maybe I shouldn't have based my conclusion on the alpha version :P

However, I still have an issue; when I connect the first time, I don't get an IP address assigned. If I disconnect and connect again it works fine.
[G1 Android Development] Orange Crush:
So what's my best option with using a retail G1? Is it possible to re-sign the stock ADP 1.5 firmware so I can install the modified kernel? Or, could I somehow patch a JF 1.5 kernel? What all would that entail?
[G1 Android Development] rub1k:
JF's 1.5 (based on the HTC firmware, released last night) comes with a modified kernel to allow tethering:

Thanks! I didn't realize JF was already patched. I was having a lot of trouble with the tethering GUI ap in the first post of this thread--but aNetShare (per JesusFreke's recommendation) is working great for me.

I clicked tether and said "unknown state try rebooting"

after rebuilding config it worked perfectly, using it to post now and its super fast

[G1 Android Development] parrothd:
T-Mobile and slowness

I think t-mobile is limiting bandwidth while browsing the web via tethering, you can get around this by changing the user agent information of your browser.

When you change the user agent information often you will be redirected to the mobile version of the website, ie m.facebook.com instead of www.facebook.com. I've noticed a big increase in speed and page load times...

Do you mean that you need to hold on the "Q" icon to keep the menu open, and that the menu closes as soon as you lift up your finger? I have never had this problem, I just click once and the menu stays open.
