I looked though forum and couldn't find a thread addressing this issue and it looks like the question still has not been answered.
If this is a bump, mod please delete it.
After trying many WiFi tether apps and different settings I found that the latest wifi tether app works for our phones running ICS builds.
You can download it from website:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
Or from mediafire:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?x32j182mc3n0g7n
After you download and install this app go to app settings-> change device profile-> and choose "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) as your device.
Now you can start the app and connect your pc or any other device to it.
I'm posting this using tethering so it does work.
Currently I'm running Stock rooted deodexed FB21 rom by Calkulin.
As usual you can change the network name and add encryption.
Once again. If this has been addressed mod please delete this thread.
Wow, I never thought about changing the profile to a galaxy nexus lol. Brilliant! You should make a post in the general section too, seeing how that should get a lot more traffic!
May be I should ask a mod to move this thread into general section.
I don't want to creat same thread twice.
We have too many threads as is and sometime it's very hard to find info you need.
And about galaxy nexus choice.
I couldn't make it work with any other choices and then I thought since there is no ICS for our phone mabe that's the problem and did try nexus.
It worked like a charm. and it works when I'm on 4G as well.
Download speed pretty good too.
I was going to say WifiTether works on ICS on my NS4G. Nice work around!

I see 15 downloads on my mediafire and I guess there will be more from original website and no feedback at all.
Please let me know if this works for all ICS builds or it just worked on FB21 i'm currently on.
Wow what incredible timing. I've been trying to tether to my PS Vita all morning with no luck, but this worked! Thanks for the info!
I'm currently running DARKSTAR ROM on FB21.
Thanks so much. I need tether for work! I can finally switch to ICS!
Yay!

There should be new versions of this app available on play store.
Did you try them?
If yes than I'm out of ideas.
Till now it worked with every rooted ICS OS.
It worked! It never occurred to me that it should be available on google play. t worked like a breeze, I only selected Generic ICS.
Again, thanks a lot for the tip
Sorry if this comes off stupid but what is the advantage of this over the hot spot hack that was created for ICS?

Hotspot hack was for deodexed roms for long time.
This was an alternative for those who wants to run odexed rom.
Now you have hack for both odexed and deodexed rom and this app
is kinda obsolete.
Think of this as a possible alternative.

Thank you for your reply. I have noticed that I sometimes have to reinstall the hotspot after updating one of your newer, ever more awesome kernels but it is still working. I mostly run odex or convert deodex to odex on my roms.
Is there a working WiFi Tether option for the Sprint GeNex running JB 4.1.1 , OTHER than paying $30 per month to Sprint to unlock WiFi Hotspot? I have looked around and cannot find a solid solution or answer with regard to this.
WiFi Tether does not work in any iteration I have found, including the TrevE Mod (for Galaxy SIII). Open Garden doesn't work and FoxFi doesn't work rooted or un-rooted.
I have heard of ROMs that include functioning WiFi hotspots, but do they work with Sprint? I really don't want to ROM because I am happy with stock JB, and, frankly, my Nexus running stock JB, rooted, with Juice defender, gets amazing battery life that I was NOT getting from AOKP with Franco Kernel. But, if I need to go custom to get WiFi Tether, I will.
Thanks!
No one?

I have it. It doesn't work. Ad-hoc and all other mentioned functions do not work. Either Sprint has found a way to block all third party tethering apps, or no one has written a tethering program that works with Sprint. I have tried every variation I could find, including the one tailored to the Sprint Galaxy SIII because it has Samsung specific drivers. No luck. Unless someone has something I haven't tried before, or has the "Work around for Sprint Wifi tether blocking" app, I will have to live with out, or pay $30 a month to Sprint.

So I tried it again for easily the 5th or 6th time. I changed nothing about how I did it, just installed and set the profile to Galaxy Nexus. But NOW it works.
You do realize it only worked because you rolled your eyes at me. (by the way, is that exasperation or flirting, because, I'm married . ).
Anyway, thanks! I probably wouldn't have tried it again.

I'm running the latest Paranoid Android 2.99, but have seen some issues with sprint wifi tether recently. Right now, it seems it only works on 4G. 3G data is immediately killed when I turn on wifi tether. I have the GA02 radios.
Found a solution.
I recently picked up a Sprint GNEX and put it at the latest stock 4.2.1 and rooted so I could tether (even though I have awful 3G and little-to-no LTE in my area). Spent a lot of time looking for a fix as the app wasn't working right for me, to tether, and couldn't find a way to get it working. Web searching the errors I was getting I tracked down this thread. There is a custom version there that works on our phones, with the right settings, start at post #109.
Sorry I'm sure this has already been discussed / linked / hosted on XDA, etc, but I couldn't find it in my search until I went outside XDA, so posting again here in case someone like me is looking in this thread. The app from Google Play does not work, this custom version is the only one that did the trick for me running stock 4.2.1.
Just came across this: Samsung has released the Jelly Bean update for the SPH-D710 phone. It is installed using the Simple Upgrade Tool available thru their site.
Samsung has released a new Android™ OS version for the Samsung Galaxy S® II (Sprint) (SPH-D710). Jelly Bean 4.1.2 software version GB27. Please follow the instructions below to download and install Simple Upgrade Tool using your Windows PC.
Unfortunately, the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for the Samsung Epic 4G Touch is not available over the air, and those of you who want to download and install the software upgrade will have to do it through Samsung's site/software. It seems that the downloadable content is just too big to be pushed OTA, at least according to Sprint. If you ask me, I think that the carrier doesn’t want to bother with rolling out the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update over the air for the Epic 4G Touch because the phone was launched two years ago and it doesn’t seem to be a priority.
The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update van be downloaded and installed right away. In case you want for details about the matter, you can check out the Sprint support site HERE.
Title: Sprint_D710_GB27_JellyBean_SimpleUpgradeTool.exe
Applicable Model: All SPH-D710 Models ending in SPRSEP-D710AAASPR, SEP-D710ZKASPR, SEP-D710ZWASPR,

Thanks for sharing
Tried installing followed directions and it got stuck in start up boot loop. Computer Odin into recovery, wiped all data flashed the previous rom was using as DD and now it shows Baseband Version heading GB27 and the rest of the builds from the rom. Not a total success so I can't say it worked or didn't just informing of my results.
Even though it says GB27 I just saw QBKing77 has uploaded Official Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean GB27 Update on Samsung Epic 4G Touch Review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1Bt55Ngass&feature=em-uploademail) to which my phone does not have these changes. I think some are very cool but love running 4.2.2 and they way my phone is now.

I havent seen this since the samsung moment days.
and later also using it on the transform. Those were fun.
if i remember correctly you can swap the tar file out with a dif tar and it should flash it like odin. well i guess in that sense it is Odin lol.
But dont take my word on it lol.
Just noticed the OP says something about the reason this update is not OTA through Sprint because this device is "2 years old and is not a priority". This is not true. The reason the update is being pushed this way is because the entire internal SD is wiped to accommodate the differences in the partitions. A regular OTA simply can not achieve this. Hence the reason for a over the wire update.

Auto brightness is broken for me. Anytime it is enabled, brightness is set to lowest. Any idea for a fix would be much appreciated. I used to use SwitchPro widget to control brightness, but dont need the brightness widget since its now built into notification.
I just installed the Jelly Bean update on my S2, mainly bc I just got the phone recently after I cracked the screen on my previous phone. I'm new to rooting, and just had a quick question to ask... I have already rooted my S2 and i've been looking through all the roms available, but are there any ROMs that can be used directly with 4.1.2 and the GB27 modem? Or do I need to downgrade to use any ROMs?
Thanks

You need to post questions in q&a(kennyglass, I can sense your presence!). But the answer to your question is yes, there are many ROMs that have 4.1.2 and in order to use a Jellybean ROM, you HAVE to have a jb modem. Look in android development for this phone lots of choices for 4.1.2. Read the OP correctly and flash away. Good luck!

Did this update cause GPS issues for anyone else? I installed this on my wife's phone and now she can't lock on generally. If she can lock on, then she loses navigation after a minute or two.
I saw another thread about GPS issues here. Is my only choice to fix it rooting? I root my own devices (my original Epic 4G and current GS3), but in general my wife likes her devices stock. The non final ROMS I ran and issues I had on occasion have led her to be resistant to the idea.

Try updating prl and profile then reboot and use the gps test app to get initial lock for a few minites and it will lock fast after that. Also you can be stock rooted dont need a rom. I keep going back to stock rooted, mostly get rid of sprint bloatware and run adblocker.

I think there must be something physically wrong with her phone. I did the prl and profile updates, to no avail. I used qbking77 videos and rooted then installed a new ROM, flashing an ICS modem like they recommended, and it sees 0 satellites.
My intention now is to revert her back to the stock ICS and run it to a Sprint store and see if they can't be of any assistance. Does the S2 work like the S3 and count when/if you've flashed any custom roms?

It does if you flash with Odin. I'd run Triangle Away just to be on the safe side. Make sure you do it before you unroot however.

Just got the 4.1.2 jelly bean update the other day for my spring samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch. So far I love the new OS but seem to be having a few issues.
1. battery life is substantially worse than ICS.
My battery was at 95% and I used my gps this morning for about 30minutes and it caused my battery to go down to 50%. before the update it would only use about 10%-15%.
any way to fix my battery life?
2. I also keep getting this error "the process google.process.gapps has stopped" Not sure what it means/how do I fix it.

The neat thing about nodata is that it keeps your data. You can also root and then use Titanium Backup and save all your apps and system data then restore it when you flash a new ROM. Root definitely has its perks.

I bought my phone already flashed to Verizon prepaid. It is currently on ICS 4.0.4 rooted stock build FH13. The guy who flashed it sold it to me and told me to never update it cuz it could destroy the flash. Is this true? Also, hot spot is working and i wouldn't want to lose that if i were to update. So should i just disable OTA update notifications with FOTAkill.apk and stay on 4.0.4?
When you update just change the APN for MMS. The flash should stay regardless of the ROM on the phone. Be sure to do a nandroid first. Also someone who has done a flash to another carrier can please chime in

DO NOT UPGRADE! If you're on PagePlus, the system WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. The place you bought it will charge you to re-flash it back to 4.0.4.
Just curious but how will flashing a new ROM in Odin or cwm make the system not recognize the phone? From what I can tell the "flash" was using the numbers from a donor phone. All the info used in the flash except the APN would all still be there after a new ROM flash. Can you not factory reset the phone after a flash to page plus as well? I would like to know what your info is. Because this is the first I have heard it.

Ok it looks like someone is saying it will be safe to update and someone else is saying that it is NOT safe to update. I cannot afford to lose the flash as I do not have access to a computer so I can't take the chance unless someone can absolutely positively for sure tell me that I will not lose my Verizon Prepaid flash.
If the Epic 4g Touch was made for Verizon I wouldnt be worried but being that its originally a Sprint phone I am having doubts. Isn't the OTA update designed for the Sprint Epic 4g Touch? If I do end up letting the OTA update install what version will I end up being on?

Well the update depends on which brand epic touch your on. (Sprint, Virgin Mobile, Boost) it will update you too jellybean either way just your modem will be different. I have a sprint brand.
Ya it is a pain to get MMS to work threw touchwiz without a 3rd party app of some sorts. I find it pretty easy on CM builds. I normally just ditch MMS and send the pic threw gmail cuz its less of a headache. But sure you can send me a screenshot of the settings. I'm willing to help as much as I can.

Yea id appreciate it if you could help me out tomorrow. Thanks again man. Btw, does you're phone go into airplane mode every now n then? Mine does for about ten seconds then comes back on. It'll happen like maybe five times a day. Was wondering if that's normal. If not, is it something cm10.1 could fix?
Its not normal. There was a bunch of bugs in the ROM you are on. Being on that build though because its rooted you can use mobile Odin. To get the modem you would need to flash that in cwm though.

Yup patroa is correct. ICS builds for the epic touch were horrible. (In My Opinion) I wish I could give you a 100% guarantee that nothing could go wrong but there is always a small slight chance.
No its not normal for airplane mode to pop on from time to time.
I rooted and used mobile Odin to install a cwm and flashed a cm10.1 build all without a volume down button (can't easily get into download mode or at all) I was able to do it from a ICS build. The same build you are on.

What would you say the odds are of something going wrong? Like if you were to compare the amount of horror stories to the amount of success stories what the ratio look like? One bad scenario to one hundred successful ones?

Just follow directions to the letter. Almost all if not all issues in flashing ROMs are from not following directions close enough. You are already rooted so get mobile Odin from play store or here on xda download el26 or el29 kernel from the kernel repository DL the tar file flash in mobile Odin boot into recovery make backup wipe and flash the ROM of your choosing. There is a ton of awesome ones out there
