Guest Graham Ccarter Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) I'm currently running MoDaCo Custom Froyo ROM (R11). What I'm noticing in Windows 7 only, is that after I've turned on the tethering option, and try and connect to the Android Wireless... there is a considerable delay in Windows 7 finding a connection... ie it connects to the physical network fairly quickly, but for a good minute or so, Windows reports that there is no internet connection... after a minute or so, it finds a working internet connection and am good to go. Now before anyone asks, yes, Im in a good connection area and have a HSDPA connection etc Initially I thought it was a problem with the phone / rom... however I have a dual boot laptop and on testing the tethering when running xp, it connects very quickly, and can start browsing the internet immediately. I thought it could be a minor problem with my Windows 7 installation... however I have a portable 'Three MIFI' device which I connect to without delays... This is not just a once off, this delay happens every time under Windows 7 but not in XP. Whilst its not a major issue, its irritating and wondered if anyone else had noticed this connecting delay when using tethering? Edited January 29, 2011 by Graham Ccarter
Guest leetron1 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Me too..tried tethering today for the first time...connects but says no internet connection..then, just about to give up on it, it connects.. Anyone any ideas for a solution?
Guest Graham Ccarter Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Good to hear that its not just me... but again it just seems to be a Windows 7 issue and not XP. I even tried it in Ubuntu and it connects almost instantly Edited January 29, 2011 by Graham Ccarter
Guest LVL91 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 My HTC Desire has the same problem, so I don't think you can solve this issue the easy way...
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 not phone issue windows 7 issue ubuntu / fedora / archlinux connect in a second
Guest Graham Ccarter Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 not phone issue windows 7 issue ubuntu / fedora / archlinux connect in a second Its related to Windows 7 yes, but it is still a phone / software problem in the way it negotiates with the OS... as I mentioned in my initial post, the MIFI device I use has no such connection delays in Windows 7.
Guest Simon O Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 yeah it's a Windows 7 issue. Ubuntu connects quickly when usb tethered but Windows takes ages then it goes "I found a new network" and gives it a number. I'm up to "Network 32"... wish Windows would stop thinking it's a brand new connection device every time I tether ;)
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 humm do you put wpe or wpa you could try open at first
Guest airchie Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 I get the same thing on my Nexus One running Cyanogenmod 6.1 using Win 7 64-bit. I also get the increasing network numbers issue. I just assumed it was an issue with the ROM and it'd be fixed in the next version. :/

Or has it?
Guest Ralph Martin Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 For what it's worth MacOS seems somewhat in between. It doesn't connect instantly, it takes perhaps 5 seconds.
