CM7, wireless tether, and Galaxy Tab - no joy..

[Ed Witles]

Gang -

Under stock, I was able to let the Tab pigback off of wireless tether. Now that I installed CM7 (latest), that is now gone.

Built in, 2.0.7, 3.1, Barnacle - all same thing.

Tab sees the signal, attempts to get an IP, then disconnects.

Thoughts?

I haven't tried CM7 so I'm not familiar with it. What are your settings using Wireless tether 3.1?

 

[Ed Witles]

Default settings. How the app installs is how it was used under froyo and GB builds.

I haven't had any issues with the built in wireless tether on CM7, I've only used it a handful of times. Did you do a full wipe when you loaded the latest version of CM7? Have you tried changing the security settings under your tether, leave it open then try wpa2 psk.

Ok, from the top. Wireless tether works fine on CM7. No errors or etc.

My PC can connect to it.

But my Galaxy Tab cannot. Tries to get an IP and then disconnects.

Have you tried a different rom and tested to see if it works. I just tried it on my Tab and CM7 using Wireless Tether and connected. Barnacle couldn't even be found. I would recommend using different tethering apps. Hopes this helps

What version of tether you using? What CM7 build? And is your Tab a Sprint version running 2.3.4 GB?

Make any changes to the tether?

If ur pc can connect and not your Tab then the problem could be on the Tab. Try re-checking your settings on your Tab.

The only thing that changed was installing CM7 over rooted stock.

I am using Wireless Tether version 2.0.7

my Tab is from VZW running Froyo

and the CM build is RC 1.6.1

no changes started it up allowed access and connected no problem. Do you have access to other WIFI where you can check the Tab's access?

 

[Ed Witles]

The Tab connects just fine to hot spots and my local network.

Have you tried re flashing CM 7?

The latest version of wireless tether has specific settings for the Thunderbolt and HTC devices. You need to select the Thunderbolt under device profile, and check the routing fix box. If that doesn't work then you should try to change the setup-method within the settings to Softmap (master). Honeycomb has problems recognizing ad-hoc tether for some reason.

I had problems tethering initially, but I know people who have it working properly with wireless tether playing around with some of those settings. The ad-hoc issue can be fixed permanently by another procedure if you want to root your tab as well. That's what I did

If all else fails then try PDANet for tablets, because that doesn't use ad-hoc to tether. Probably won't work as well as wireless tether but at least it's something.

Tab is rooted. Unable to find routing fix box. This worked prior to me flashing CM7. Was using Froyo on the bolt.
