I can't get the phone to tether. When I connect to the phone it says no internet access detected. I notice on my phone only the up arrow is showing. Anyone have a solution for this?
When I turn it on my laptop will say connected no Internet access... If I wait a few mins then try browsing it will work.. Guess it takes a few mins to establish the connection.. Try that

Are you throttled? If you are good luck tethering at max of 60kbs

I am using the Simple Mobile network, but it won't let me tether.
You have to root your phone. get titanium back up and freeze wifi manager and after that it should work. It works fine for me after I did this. There is a post already on this. I hope it works.

Any idea what may have happened to my browsers using mobile data?
Specifically www.mautofied.com isn't working on T-Mobile. I turn my wifi on and its working fine.
Both stock browser and chrome will not load that specific website. Other sites are not affected.
I have tried a cache wipe.
Could it be T-Mobile error?

Are you being throttled? I'm being throttled and i'm getting speeds to the point where sites almost always time out. Also, try toggling your mobile data connection. Sometimes, my phone says connected to a network when it isn't and sites don't load but never say no internet connection.

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

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.

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

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.
Does anyone have a WiFi teather app confirmed to be working on or OGs? With or without root?
I am using pdanet tether and receive 1\2 the signal strength but still looking for a wifi hotspot app that will work.

No other settings that i know of. But I'm really starting to wonder about the radio on this phone. It just seems to have good and bad moments. With WiFi also.

Are you able to get to speedtest.net on the computer you WiFi into your phone with to see what difference is between the 2 tests
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
At work, so no. Honestly, never been concerned with speeds. As long as it works im fine. Might be able to test later with my tablet tho.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Still think the radio in this thing is not that great. Reception fades more with this phone than the one it replaced. And that one sucked too.
Anyway, speedtest was all over. Anywhere from 300k to a best of 1900. Ran it probably 8 or 9 times.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
If run the speed test app on the phone what do you get

About 1300-1400k. Which is about right.

Long story short. Wireless tether for root works. BUT it'll kill WiFi. You can only use one or the other per reboot. Unless something has changed.
Edit. On ZVB anyway

WiFi Tether for Root, or Wireless? I have WiFi Tether for Root but it requires a slew of steps to work, I've read.
Haven't gotten it to work with the suggested settings, but haven't bothered spending the time to utilize a workaround.

Each device is different. You should look for support for the device in question rather than something completely different.
Try device profile = generic wlan(0)

I recently rooted my gs3 and flashed synergy rom and used the trevE hot spot mod.. off and on for 2 days.. Then I got a text from t mobile saying that my hot spot has been blocked.. When I tried to use it again it would not show up on my computer anymore.. I then flashed darkstarker and jedi5 with the same results.. I had the same results with the foxfi app.. But with the stock hot spot it can connect but no data.. With the hacked trevE mod and foxfi it won't even show up for me to connect anymore.. Did t mobile do this and Is there a way I can fix this?
Please help..

You must and should have used the vpn hotspot shield and they would have not detected. It requires both for this to work without detection
