Can't re-enable the phones normal wifi operation (3.0 pre12) #909

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Which device (manufacturer, type)?
Samsung Epic 4g

Which firmware is installed?
Stock EC05 (offical froyo 2.2 release)

What version of wireless tether are you using?
3.0 Pre 11 and Pre 12  (effects both versions) 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install wifi tether 
2. Make sure you are using the phones wifi when you run Wifi Tether (it will 
automatically disable it)
3. Run wifi tether
4. Close wifi tether
5. Try to re-enable the phone's wifi with the wifi manager.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Well, I understand that wifi-tether needs to disable wireless access when I 
want to use it as an AP.. but once I disable it I should be able to use wifi as 
normal.

Please provide any additional information below.
I get an error message when disabling wifi tether that says:
"What the hell.
 The phone takes control over the wifi interface.
 Immediately shutting down..."

I have a quirky little fix as well.  I also had Barnacle Wifi tether and use it 
to clear up the issue.. If I end task on android wifi tether, and start 
barnacle wifi tether, it will disable the epic 4g's wifi manager.  When I then 
disable barnacle wifi tether, I can turn the phone's wifi back on using the 
wifi manager.  

Android wifi tether seems to work flawlessly if I just leave the wifi off when 
I start wifi tether.

I must've missed the notification for this response, so sorry for the
tardy reply... but pre14 appears to sort of fix the issue. I have to
disable and enable wifi in my notification bar, but after that it
works flawlessly.  Honestly, that is good enough for me.  If I were to
guess what is still going wrong, I think maybe your app needs a longer
delay before it tries to enable the normal wifi again.  If I disable
and enable too quickly, it doesn't work... but if I wait about 10
seconds, then disable and enable wifi, it comes back online fine.

I never tried the link you gave here, but if you'd still like me to
test, I can do so...
