Turning off tether does not stop phone from broadcasting SSID or draining battery like mad. #99

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Tethering
2. Tap the green 'wave' icon for lack of better term to theoretically stop
tethering.
3. Notice that SSID still shows up on a wifi scan from laptop.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
  Tethering to stop.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
  1.51 on Cupcake/Android 1.5

Please provide any additional information below.
The old version, before the new colored UI and such, worked fine for
starting and stopping.

This would be a UI issue. Tapping the green button turns _on_ the tether. You 
have to
tap when its grey to turn it off.

We probably need to make that clearer.

Actually the green to start, grey to stop nomenclature wqas my fault.

I tap the grey symbol when there are the bitrate and xfer meters up, it says 
'turning off tether' or 
something to that effect but the ssid never goes away til i reboot.

One more thing from the logs:

Eval /data/data/android.tether/bin/rmmod: not found.  (God itd be nice to have 
a normal cut and 
pastable text field for logs...)

Finally:

ln -s /system/bin/rmmod /data/data/android.tether/bin/rmmod worked liike a 
charm.
No more error unloading module.

@mystica: It's a normal behavior on windows (xp) that it shows ALL 
adhoc-networks
even if they are not active! You have to delete those entries. The 
wireless-network
is NOT active (after stopping to tether)! 

And ... 
tap on green icon  => I want to start tethering
tap on gray icon   => I want to stop tethering

I'm going to close this ... if you think this is a real issue please reopen it. 
Thanks.
