I'v been searching these forums and Google and can't find anything on what I'm looking for, maybe its just me but is there a hack or is it possible to have your Android think its always on wifi even when on the go with 3g? I'm pretty sure the iPhone had a similar hack after your jailbroke it. :/

I don't think this is possible! I've searched everywhere...on here, other forums and under my couch and NOTHING...hahahahaha....What you're thinking of is something like the iPhone has called 3G unrestrictor where it tricks apps into thinking they're on WiFi instead of 3G! This would be great if someone actually made an app like this because that way we can all use Skype on 3G over here in the USA.........sorry dude, try again in about a year or so, maybe some developer might port over the iPhone's 3G unrestrictor to the android community.
O no there has to be a way...or ill be saddddd lol

Have same problem, but I think its related to the phone switching off the wifi so it can connect via the lousy cell signal.
Not for me
On a side note my iPad 3 freezes when I have like 3 tabs from dorkly

Hey Peepz,
I rooted my GS3 and installed WiFi tether. Selected the Samsung Galaxy Nexus profile and the general ICS/JB profile.
The problem is that WiFi tether only works sometimes, so I enable it. work with it. turn it off and maybe 2 or 3 hrs later turn it on again - it says "press to stop tethering" but no WiFi hot spot is visible to my devices (iPad, Laptops, etc). Then i turn tether off, on, off, let it sit there, restart the phone and once ever other try (dozens and dozens of trys) it works.
Is there something I am missing? Btw I have two GS3s and the same happens to the other one as well...
Yeah same here. I have to start stop a few times then I see the wifi network.

Have you seen a pattern? I haven't had much time with the phones yet (approx. 2 to 3 days). I tried turning off WiFi before tethering but have not found a solution yet. are there any other apps I should try? is WiFi tether the only one? It seems like thats the one people are using...
Are you running any custom roms? Native tether works perfect for me. Other than that i think the Wi-Fi tether for root users 3.2 beta is the best after that
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Try turning your screen off to 10 min instead of 15 seconds. I tried that and it worked for me. Don't know if you guys are using juice defender but that might be an issue as well.

I have it at 1 min, but I'll try that.

Oh okay native as in the one in more settings. I think the T-Mobile app shortcuts to that. But nvm that doesn't play nice if you're stock rooted. Why not run a custom Rom and use it? I don't have a tether plan and it works fine for me
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Same prob. with my Teth.
I got the same problem with my USB tethering. I plug in my CPU, it's working perfectly for 5 minutes, after that, everything stop. Same with my WIFI Hot Spot. Dunno what's the problem ?!? Maybe it will work fine with Jelly B ! Hope it comes fast for videotron.

I haven't tried that one, in fear that t-mo will just say: hey we want money!
I will try the WiFi tether beta when I have the chance... where can I get it? Market?
It's not in the market. I'll try to find a link. You can Google it.

I was asking the guy i quoted
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Mine works, however after a few minutes, the data craps out. Any suggestions? I'm using the auto profile. If I leave it for a few hours, turn it back on, then it usually works again for a few minutes. Is this something Wind is doing to stop you from using lots of data? I have an unlimited plan.
Do you mine sharing your settings. If I use wifi tether straight out of the box, default everything I'm getting redirected to the Tmob page which says my cost will be $14.95 per. When I change profiles to say Generic Ics/JB and change to channel 6 I still connected to the phone but I get no "internet connection". I've checked ipconfig and of course it shows I've connected to the phone and dhcp has assign me an ip, 192.168. something but I got nothing. Right now I'm fu***ed. I so wanted to call comcast and tell them... well you know!
I still may just pay the $14.95 to Tmob instead of $70 to Comcastm makes sense. Before tmob shut me down I was getting 8-10 down and 1-1.5 up on my lappy thru the GS3!
Any tips or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
If you get the upsell page then change the user agents. What Rom are you using... why don't you use native tethering? When it says no internet connection... just wait awhile until it reconnects you should get internet after that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm using cm10 nightly and I did use the hotspot option thru the phone to test the speed. I knew Tmob would get wise and block me which they did hence the sell thru page. So I down loaded Wifi Tethering and installed but wasn't too sure about the setting? I also installed the user agent pluggin for Chrome. Then I selected "Chrome on Windows" as my common user agent and here we are.
Love this rom. I'm on V6, and so far every thing is smooth and functional except native hotspot. Tried reflashing, both dirty and clean but nothing. My PC can see and connect but no internet. I've searched this site but the few I've found with this same problem weren't answered. WiFi Tether works but phone gets hot. Suggestions very welcome. Thanks XDA community.

I dont think any developers have been able to get native hotspot working. And for the record, your phone would heat up regardless because tether is a very memory intensive process

I used to have an evo lte and WiFi Tether made it hot where as the native hotspot did not.

Others with this same rom say the native hotspot is working. I am just trying to find out if it is a settings issue or a mod flash or something else.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Its going to get hot, as its an intensive process. You can try reducing the power on the transmit, but other than that change you rom governor and scheduler is the only thing you can do.
Thx, but I'm trying to get the native hotspot working.
