You can, but its inconvenient if you need internet immediately or you're not at home e.g. your grandparents' house ; htc have implemented it for a reason....

Tether SII to PS3

I finally got my tether to work on the unlimited data plan BUT NOW I can't get my phone to work with my PS3 but the one issue I don't get is that it works completely fine on my Xbox 360, I am rooted, and I'm usuing WiFi Tether for Root users

Sorry couldn't help out in the other thread. I don't have a ps3 to do any trial and errors.
All good man I really appreciate the effort I'm just confused because my cousins Epic 4g Touch with the same tether app works fine with both my ps3 and Xbox 360 but my galaxy s2 only works on the Xbox and not my ps3

Can you tether a computer to your phone and use internet explorer? I am getting that same error. But I think it's due to T-Mobile blocking HTTP protocol.

Yes I can use internet explorer, I can tether to my Xbox, PC, and all other devices but not my PS3 I'm a sad panda

Lol, what app are you using to tether? I looked up the error number and it has something to do with DNS.

Yeah that's what I use. Are you able to connect and use the ps3 browser?

You can't tether to your ps3.. AT ALL. The PS3 doesn't support ad-hoc which is what most tethering apps use. Try tethering with the built in tethering capabilities as they broadcast using AP instead of ad-hoc.

The app he's using is WiFi tether for root users and that uses ap not ad hoc.

It has the option to use AP but these phones don't. They use adhoc. Try it for yourself. Windows will report an adhoc connection not an access point. Trust me I've been through this with my own ps3. I had to tether to my laptop and then use ICS through the Ethernet port.

Well I just traded my ps3 but now my issues is whenever I tether to my Xbox 360 I can't update my games, download new items or download apps ugh I REALLY hate T-Mobile right now
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
I tethered to my cousins ps3 last night using built in tethering in dark side v8. It worked but T-Mobile caught onto it, sent me a text and blocked AP tethering since the ps3 doesn't support adhoc tetherig that was the end of the road for that venture lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Dude, dont use wifi tether for root users for this phone. Only does ad-hoc on this this device. Ps3 is very strict, only infrastructure network you can. Only the built in tethering works on ps3. I personally use infamous resurrection since the tether restriction was removed by the dev. I use it and haven't they haven't cut the plug yet like other roms.

Wi-Fi works perfectly for me with CM 10.1 or CM 10 with WPA-TKIP or without encryption. Can you be more precise?
I connect to the public Wi-Fi our school provide s. It works fine with other Wi-Fi

Its not the phone, it the WiFi router that you are connected to. Of it's public it will have problems like that

Newest Version of Foxfi Bypasses Tethering

Can someone else please confirm these results? I used foxfi to tether my pc and to watch netflix on my ps3 and ive gone over the limit
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
it did this all the time dude
Can anyone confirm? Is this routing traffic through a proxy? T-Mobile scans headers and detects psn network so curious to see if anyone else has similar results.

You have to use a VPN if you want to use your ps3. I use hotspot shield for to achieve what you need. Along with wifi tether router. Trust me it works fine. I'm playing cod all day

What else do I have to do? Change settings, other apps, etc. I have the paid version of Foxfi & Wifi Tether. I have done everyrhing, but nobody post EXACTLY what they did, cause from every instruction I have followed, I keep getting up-sell & blocked. I am running Hyperdrive, and have Wicked on stand-by, please display EXACT STEPS.

(First let me say im on 4.3 bootloader using kitkat wicked 4.4) Get wicked rom change the apn protocols to ivp4/ivp6. Reset your phone and run the native (t-mobile) hotspot. Very simple.

Tethering does work on Wicked or any rom... but T-Mobile blocks many ip addresses... PSN network, many XBMC addons like Icefilms using the FireTV. A work around would be great!

I have a plain Stock Rom on my thread, on the 3rd post, and follow directions, its not Rooted, and the tether works fine, i'm using it as we speak,
if you want it rooted, just flash chainfires superuser..
but if you mean you want it on your plain stock rom, it won't work, you need to do some edits on a few files.
look on my signature, it will lead u there. :good:

Tether without root?

Can this phone tether without root using the paid version of Foxfi
Via USB or bluetooth yes, but bluetooth is slow. Wifi no.
