Hey guys been searching all over and just trying to tether my new Nexus to my annoying "infrastructure" only wifi Galaxy Tablet 2.
Maybe there are specific Roms that can do this...
Thanks for all the help much much appreciated.

If you don't want to root use foxify other than that u will need to be rooted on custom rom. Or pay u carrier a different price

Try looking for the foxfi addon. I heard that it sometimes helps. Also read the instructions when your setting it up.

a lot of those wifi apps claims they work without root, but it is only for certain phones
root your galaxy s3, it is the only way
Ok do you know where I can find a link on how to root the phone? I dont want to brick it since I just got it.

Where are the settings? Not in foxfi?

I've read that foxfi is not yet ready for our phones, maybe in the next update.

If your on the unlimited plan you cant share the network. They block it that's part of the contract no tethering or hotspot.

Worked fine on my phone before I rooted.
Any updates on this issue? Does rotting help make Foxfi work on our S3?
If you are rooted why don't you just use the wifi tether app for root from the play store. I just set my device as a galaxy s2 in the device settings in the app and it works. I am on the unlimited plan.

What settings are you referring to? Foxfi doesn't have any settings options that I've seen.
Yeah there really aren't any settings for this app.
When I try it on mine seems to start ok on the phone but computer can not connection to it.
I have even tried on my old sensation and it dont work with viper rom. Or a stock one s.
I've had the same problem with FoxFi. Install SVTP and set the profile to Samsung ICS. Still $15, but only once and its the only hotspot app I've found that can get around Tmobile's blocks on my stock nonrooted T999.
I have been using FoxFi and I love it. The latest Sprint ICS update seams to be blocking FoxFi. I know FoxFi is working on this problem but I was wondering if there is another solution without root until they fix it? I have tried the bluetooth version and the other bluetooth apps with no success. Has anyone had success with any other apps or ways? Or will I just have to wait for FoxFi to find a solution and come out with updated version?
Thanks in advance
Also I do not think pdanet is working but im not 100 percent sure.

when does your billing cycle end? and also how many gigabytes have you used so far during this billing cycle?
On my billing cycle I had like 50g used. LoL. No extra charge. I don't think this update is just on my phone because there are several people having this update. Why you think this is just for me?

I am going to take a stab and suggest Sprint is not happy with that kind of usage and finally plugged a hole.
I have been reading though forums that everyone is getting this update and its even on FoxFi website that its a Google update on ICS on not specifically a Sprint update. FoxFi is coming out with a counter update.
I was just wondering if anyone else has had luck with finding another way to have wifi hot spot without root. Until FoxFi comes out with an update.

Sweet if only roam control Dev would do the same

When you say 50g do you mean 50gb on sprints network? If so I applaud you good sir. Sprints network in my area makes it hard for me to use 2 gigs.
Yes! 50gb. I just download and leave it lol. Also set up hot spot when I'm mobile.
Does no one know of a killer working app for non rooted users?

Just curious, doesn't your phone heat up a lot when using it as a WiFi hotspot? I haven't used my phone as a hotspot since my Hero, hence my username, but it used to heat up fast.

Yes it does but if I am going to use it like hardcore I put it on a laptop cooler on top one of the fans.

Why not just root and never need a third party WiFi hotspot app again?
You can totally unroot when needed

What's the best way to root the nexus? Something very simple and leaves the phone pretty much stock? Isn't there a 1 click root program that let's you do anything to your nexus?

I don't know. What's the best program where I can just root the phone and put an app on it that will allow wifi hotspots with jelly bean 4.1.1 update.

Hi guys.

I have a rooted galaxy S2 on MIUI official and siyah kernel 5.0.1 I want to connect my Note 2(Which is not rooted and on stock) using tethering from my S2 but I can't connect to it.
However when I try to connect to my S3(Rooted on Omega), I can get it connected.

You do not give any details. At least tell if you get some error. Do any other devices connect to S2? Maybe the problem is there.
The problem lies in my note 2 N7105. I tried all possible way and found out that it falls on note 2.
When connecting through WiFi it says 'Authenticating' and it didn't connect. It just kept saying that.

Hey guys and gals, I been with xda for a couple of years now, I like and respect what young guys do here. I always had a windows phone. But my past phones were android phones. So I'm new to the android swag. So my problem is that I want to use my T-Mobile Samsung galaxy s3 as I WiFi, so how could I do that? I know I have to root my phone. So do I have to root my phone and install a ROM or can I only have my phone rooted to get a free WiFi app?

Are you asking about WiFi tethering?

The search button is real helpful. But here u go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057344
Is this even possible? I don't have my Nexus 7 with me all the time. And I was wondering if it would be possible for this to be on a non-rooted Galaxy SIII.
I sure so hope you guys don't get mad at me for posting here..
