didn't work on my lg p500
because it turns off the 3g connection when I enable tethering.
but I think it's a ROM issue.
I have 2.2.1 installed on my lg p500, and I'd like to share my internet connection with a samsung galaxy tab (honeycomb 3.2).
With an other application (Wifi Theter) I can act as an hotspot, as I want, but my galaxy tab can't see the wifi network available. other devices can, I can connect from my notebook, as an example.
So, I assume the problem is on the galaxy tab.
galaxy tab can connect to other wireless networks, but can "see" the one provided by wifi theter.
Anyone knows I to solve this?
thanks in advance for any help

The reason FoxFi shuts off your 3g connection is because it turns on the wifi radio to use for hotspot access around the security in your phone.
As far as Wifi Tether goes, are you broadcasting in adhoc mode?

I just gave this app a go. It looks like everything setup just fine on the phone but when I try to connect with my windows 7 laptop I get a "cannot connect" error. I think it's trying to use an ad hoc connection type. I don't think ICS supports ad hoc tethering. Could someone with a gingerbread phone could give this a try? If it works on a gingerbread phone then it's probably an ad hoc issue.

Thanks for pointer.
It is foxfi.com/bin
I just made it work with GS3 via bluetooth, hotspot mode did not work for some reason.
Will do for VPN for now, since stock GC3 wont work with IPSEC alone...

Are you using the stock app or wifi tether? I thought wifi tether is supposed to avoid tmo knowing that you are tethering.

try using a different browser on your pc.. that happens to me on time but with a galazy s2 and it was because i was using google chrome, so i swithc to a different browser and problem solved!!!! JUST FYI

Ok thanks ill try fire fox btw is there any settings in firefox I need to change?

That's interesting. I've been using Wi-Fi tether for over a year now, originally on my fascinate and most recently on my S3 without any problems. (My carrier is Verizon....my data usage is between 8-12gb a month.. .sometimes more) I think I'll just stick with that as opposed to the method posted in the OP.

did you try typing another address in the address bar of a new tab? I thought mine was a fail too when it went straight to that page. I opened a new tab, typed in google and it came right up. went into settings and made that my home page. no prob.

Uhh not sure what you mean
Wifi tether is when your on a mobile data connection (4g/Edge) and you don't have Wifi...you turn it on and it acts as a router or hotspot and lets your laptop connect to it.
If your in an area with Wifi that you can connect to you don't need to use the app. The apps pretty much only for when your in a location w/o wifi.

Thanks man it works great, I was getting errors at first but after switching to the galaxy nexus gsm profile everything was all good :thumbup:

Tether on Jelly Bean

Ok So i'm running the New Jelly Bean Update and I am Rooted. I have noticed this is very buggy but it works. I don't know if other methods work this is the one i used. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this but if you download WiFi Hotspot / WiFi Tether from the market, i believe its INNODROAPPS, then open it and click Tether, then Click USB Tether. It will say invaild user name if you keep turning this one and off randomly eventually it will still be checked and you will have your 3g still. Sometimes i can do it in the first try something it takes like 50 but at least its a tether option for now. Unless someone knows a better way, would love to hear it.

Is anybody able to connect with Clockworkmod tether
I used clockwork tether before but it's been a while.
After the JB update I updated the Tether app (had to DL clock clockworkmod because gogle play says our carrier does not support).
I can connect and use clockworkmod tether as long as my phone has WiFi enabled. However, when I disable the WiFi and try to connect using sprints network, it does not connect and I see the PC driver (Linux) opening and closing the connection continuously.
It seems like Sprint has figure out how to stop this?
I'm in the Orange County Ca, area.
Anybody here able to use cwm tether on the sprint network?
BTW: EasyTether Still works and can still get it from google play but I guess that's because Sprint can detect this one...
Update: Nevermind, it's now seems to have started working. Don't know what was going on but I've never had any trouble with this app before.
Now, If I just figure out how to get my premium license back...

If you do a google search for clockworkmod tether on the web (computer) you will get the google play page amoung the items.
Go to the Google Play page then scroll down a little to the description and click MORE.
In the full description there are links to download the app from clockwork and the drivers for Windoz, Linux and Mac.
I don't know about OSX but for linux, you will need a compiler on the system.

It is not just modding an app. There are dozens of network and registration checks scattered throughout framework.jar and framework2.jar and they are very well hidden. This is the same reason the guy on the Droid forums never got the Verizon NFL app broken the second year...too many reg checks throughout the ROMs. Either keep an ICS nandroid backup or a CM10 backup for when you need to tether.

sorry, no. I gather you want to know either way.
I used NOTEorious for 3-4 days, absolutely 0 issues connecting to WiFi at home. I'm using a Ubiquiti Power AP N
It also worked with my MikroTik RB751G-2HnD
DHCP, no static...
Albeit it's only been a week since I've had this phone. My current ROM is also working fine. I've been using Perseus kernel since I got it. I have not used any other kernels, including stock. I used Perseus or Siyah on my S3, so I continue to use the kernel I preferred on my last phone...

Well its just that when I turn off and on my WiFi then it gets stuck at obtaining IP address and then doesn't automatically connect like it typically should

Looks like a good place to ask....where the hell is wifi scan interval set at on Note 2?? I looked in my build.prop where it normally is but didn't see it. Its usually set low (around 20) by stock and I always up that to 150-180 so I am not constantly scanning for other Wi-Fi when I am at home or locked on a good network.

[Q] unable to root Samsung Epic 4G Touch with gingerbreak; non-working usb port

Hello,
I am having problems rooting my Samsung Epic 4G Touch (android version 2.3.6). About 3 months ago, I was able to root using Gingerbreak. I had to do a factory reset because the phone was acting strange. I am not able to root via usb cable, as the usb port stopped working a long time ago. This is the second samsung phone I have had this issue with. I have had to use an external charger to charge my phone battery. Are there are other options to root my Samsung Epic 4G Touch via wifi, bluetooth, etc? I will not be able to upgrade to a new Sprint phone till October 2013. Can anyone recommend a decent sprint phone that can rooted? I was considering the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Galaxy Note 2. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.

It should work... Our device has the exynos processor. You should have no issues

Actually, I know for a fact that the Epic 4g touch is compatible and the app works. I have used it and tested multiple versions of it on the device. It just won't work on JB. But earlier versions of Android before FL24 ICS, will work.

There is something wrong then... Try installing super SU from the market and grab you a busy box installer from there as well. I have had a similar issue with my Nexus 7. You may still have root, but nothing to assign permissions or to handle it correctly.

I installed super su and busy box installer. Busy box installer does not install.

Any other suggestions? I can't upgrade to android 4.0.4 either. I get an android icon with a caution symbol above it.

Apparently, there are 2 different types of resets. I have not tried the factory data reset yet. I have only done the hard reset.

Factory data reset did not work restore to previous android OS.

You need to get your port fixed... Look up mobiletechvideos on google.

Yeah, it's odd how the exynosabuse exploit didn't work.
I would suggest mobile ODIN to flash the latest TROM buuuuut, that requires root. :/

The exynos abuse apk works with stock ics only. It was a flaw/security risk in the first ics release that allowed it to work.

I don't think so... Because it works on many devices with the Exynos processor. Some of them were on 4.1 before it was patched.

Upgraded to Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 for $0.01 through Best Buy Mobile. Also signed up for their geek squad protection in which they will eplace the phone when the port stops working.
