Wifi tethering option not available in hTC One M8

Hello everyone,
I have a hTC m8 (Harman Kardon edition) gifted by my client from USA. When I received the device, it was factory locked through Sprint Mobile. After a month of research on internet and on this forum, I have unlocked it to use GSM services in India, and its working fine now.

But now the problem is it does not have the Tethering option. I want to tether my M8's internet connection with other devices but it has no option to enable WiFi tethering or anything. I have also tried a few third party tethering app from play store like(FoxFi, Wifi Tether, etc..) but had no luck. They all failed to establish a connection.

I am new to this forum, so am not allowed to post screenshot or any external link.
Please help me, how can I enable the tethering or internet sharing option on my device.

Device Specs:
1: Model no: 831C
2: Rooted and Unlocked
3: Android Version - 4.4.2
4: S/w Version - 1.54.654.13

Please help me and let me know if more details are required.

Wifi Icon always downloading

Hi guys....I dont know if this is the correct session but I have a s5 mini rooted and recently I notice that once I am connected to my wifi the down arrow is always lit up. I have AF+Wall installed and blocked all recent apps I have installed but its still doing it. Any Suggestions or possible fixes?

Check Wifi connection time

Hey guys,

is there any way to see the time, when an active wifi connection has been established?
So something like an app showing "WiFi connection running since 3:45 pm" or "WiFi running for 2 hours, 12 minutes" (for example).

I am using a rooted Moto X 2014 running CyanogenMod 12.1 nightly and stock kernel.

Thanks in advance!

HTC one sprint WiFi Bluetooth FM Radio not working [Keep trying to turn on]

The problem is that the WiFi/bt/radio keep trying to turn on and after a long time (in the settings menu, where the buttons for on/off WiFi are located) it says error.

I am located in Ukraine, outside US. I will describe the problem by events in order.

1. Previously WIfi/BT/Radio were all working fine on Kitkat.

2. I Updated my Htc one M7 sprint via fastboot to Android 5.0.2, the official rom update from HTC US website.

3. After update, on the first boot the hands free activation came up. Since I am using a gsm sim, it could not proceed further with the message “Device cannot be activated on a GSM, only On CDMA”

4. I searched for solutions on xda, googled it, with no solutions in sight. Seems like the problem is not common. Anyways, found some loosely related posts on xda that guided,
a) Try to flash the radio with radio flashables. But the solution was not reliable, so i have not yet tried it.
b) That I should delete htcsetupwizar.apk and other sprint related apps from TWRP. Which I did before flashing ViperOne, but it did not work, although I could get into the phone menu but the phone kept rebooting if left untouched, or when power button on the top was tapped.

So currently, my device is running ViperOne 9.0.0, Hboot version 1.61, Radio version 1.01.20.1225, OS version 6.23.651.7, OpenDsp ver 35.120.274.0718
With S-ON

So should I flash the radio from TWRP ? Or consider downgrading the OS ?
Please help. Would be grateful.
If you need any logs or more info. Please write.

GS6 Edge - New WiFi problems - Wont connect to work WiFi anymore

Ive had my GS6 Edge for a few months now and never had WiFi connection problems at work.

My family and I recently went on a 17 day road trip, staying at hotels along the way. Of course we wanted to use the WiFi where we stayed, and also at misc. restaurants along the way too.

Now that Im back at work, for some reason my phone wont connect to any of the secure wifi networks at my job. I use the same credentials as I did before, but all I get is "Authentication Error" when it wont connect. The IT guys say nothing has changed with the settings. I even had one of the IT guys try to fix it on my phone with no success. I have no problem connecting to my secure network at home however.

I downloaded WiFi Manager and "forgot" any old networks that I dont use anymore. Ive even tried clearing the cache in recovery. Im not rooted either.

Anyone else have similar problems, or know how to fix this?:mad:

Wi-Fi authentication problem after a night sleep

Hi! After installing Android 5.0.2 to my Sony Xperia Tablet Z, I am facing a strange issue with Wi-Fi connectivity. When at home my device is continuosly connected to wi-fi. But after several hours, basically I notice it in the morning, there is an "Authentication Problem" with wi-fi, and I need to reconnect it. In wi-fi settings I have set "Keep wi-fi on during sleep" to "Always", it doesn't help though. Any ideas how to fix it? Prevously, on Android 4 wi-fi worked flawlessly without any problems. Thanks.

wifi tether with out root or a tethering plan

The first thing you need is your MSL code from Sprint/your service provider . You can do this by simply calling the Sprint customer service/your providers customer service and ask for the MSL code after saying an alibi like slow connection. You can also use any MSL utility app that is working on your device.
Now open the dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Click on the Edit button in the popup and enter your MSL code and click OK.
Now navigate to APN settings from the Mobile Networks menu and open APN2 EHRPD Internet and APN2 LTE internet individually and change APN Type to default,mms,dun.
Save the settings in both the APN configurations and reboot the device.


I CAN CONFIRM THIS WORKED ON SPRINT NOTE 5 MAY WORK ON OTHERS

No Sim Card/ No Wifi

Hey Guys,

I know it's the 1000st thread about that issue, but all advices made no solution. Device says no sim card and I can't enable wifi. My HOX is unlocked and:
S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.39.
Radio-5.1204.162.29
Android 5.1.1

What I tried:
I flashed several ROM's i.e. "Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.4-20150818" or "BlissPop-v3.9-endeavoru-UNOFFICIAL-20150817-0713" because I thought it was a software issue but no improvement.
Than I taped the back of my sim card with three layers of sticky tape -> no improvement.
Than I called " *#*#4636#*#* "-> phone information ->disabled radio -> enabled radio -> no improvement.

Before I'll buy a new sim card reader, I would like to know, if someone has another advice to fix that stupid issue. Maybe back to stock rom?!

Greetings Lucas!

Custom ROM WIFI error with connecting to network

Hi!

I have flashed LeWa OS 1.4 alpha on my ZTE V790 (kis lite), and this is not the first time I flashed this ROM, but now I get this error where WIFI can be turned on, but it cant connect, so I started ADB logcat from cmd (its pretty big, over 306 pages(I think its repeating around 20 times))
And also im kinda neww to this ADB thing and i cant figure out what the problem is. (i saw in a few places that the BSSID is all 00000... , but in Kali Linux the BSSID that loads from airdump-ng is different), and just to say, I have tried to replace wpa_supplicant.conf, but that didnt work!

SO if someone knows how to fix it, PLEASE HELP! :(

S3 wifi not working

(repost this to this section, adviced from xda assist)
I just purchased second-handed Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 (international ver) to replace my old Samsung Galaxy Mini (GT-S5770). I purchased this cuz the price tag on one of local stores is just too tempting me to buy one, plus, giving me free true leather phone case! (though my target was Acer Liquid Z410, but not available on local stores and i dont know how to buy online as well)

The phone conditions, well, do have some minor scratches at the sides but the previous owner was middle-age man, and im not so picky with that detail.

The phone is great, well, except, the WiFi isnt in good condition in normal uses. (means, i can still uses them. details in below)

The S3 properties,
Android 4.3
International ver, GT-I9300
16 GB ver (which i found out some cases with unbootable S3, with 16GB ver only)
unroot
all related to network setting (includes mobile network, Bluetooth network, WiFi) is in default

The problem is, the WiFi.
The phone does detects WiFi hotspots or access points from far (in fact, it can detect my neighbour's home wifi even though is quite far, well, maybe around 20-30m, well, the signal was weak though).
SInce my home wifi is hidden, i pre-set the wifi. but, it wont even connect or even detect my wifi. My Internet TV with WiFI Direct do detected though (no internet connection since it wont host internet to devices who connect to the TV)
But, when i place my S3 like below 700cm range, my S3 detects my wifi and connects like normal devices. But when it get like further than 1m, the WiFi does not receives any data at all and after a while, the WiFi disconnected.

After i bought this phone, i hard factory reset my S3 (before reset, i didnt test WiFi and also from my uncle's advice cuz my phone seems a bit slow, well, he used to have S3). I didnt had a chance to test WiFi until i got home and tried to connect my WiFi.

I've tried many method i found online, (again, the WiFi only works if i put my S3 side by side with the access point/s)
Reboot router (I always reboot them cuz the router sometimes bugging) = not working.
Forget the network in S3 and preset. = not working
Tied with static IP address (connecting to my hidden network)(with google DNS) = not working
Enabled unhidden, open wifi profile on my router, try connect. = not working)
Connect to my TV's WIFi with WPA security = not working (tried to connect but just fails)
Tried *#0011#, Wifi, turn off power saving = not working

Things i havent tried,
reset again the S3
revert to factory firmware (actually, i tried but Kies 3 just wont work at all... it said that the device cannto be initiated or similar... so, the S3 didnt do anything)
using Odin to revert to stock factory rom
using Odin to update to unofficial kitkat rom


before im going to use Odin, which i dont ever done before, do you think that reset this phone to factory setting will fix this problem?

Maximum AC wifi link speed?

I've been searching for a while and i just cant seem to find the answer. I just upgraded from an AC 1200 to an AC 1900 router. My note 4's wifi link speed on the AC 1200 maxed out at 867 mb/s. on 5ghz which is the max for AC 1200.

Now with the new router it still only connects at 867mb/s and not the max link speed the new AC 1900 router should provide.

I know it dosent matter, has nothing to do with why i bought the router and is plenty fast enough... but it's bugging me.

I just want to know if the N4 tops out at 867mb/s? Has anyone gotten anything higher for a link speed?

thanks!!

WIFI router while in airplane mode

I am trying to connect to wifi and the use my phone as a router on a upcoming trip while in airplane mode. I know you used to be able to do this but I can not find the option in 5.02. The only option is tethering with my 4g which will not be an option as we will be out of the country. I tried several apps but they all use 4G. Anyone have an idea on how to do this? Thank you
