[Q]Does Android Wifi Tether work on LTE? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Does anyone have Android Wifi Tether working when on LTE? I have been having the worst time trying to get this to work on the SGS3 (worked great on the EvoOG). Yesterday, I happened to be in an area that only had 3G coverage, and when I tried the wifi tether, it worked for the first time. A bit later, I was back in my normal coverage area and was back on LTE (4G) and the wifi tether stopped working again. It allows me to connect, and it sends traffic upstream, but it won't route it back down to my connected device (tried iPad 2 and laptop).
Regarding AWT settings, I have tried the usual settings (router fix checked, authentication enabled, SG Nexus CDMA/LTE, GSM, and other profiles that others have mentioned). No luck.

I'm with you on this one, my original Evo worked great but have had zero luck connecting with the S3 no matter what settings I choose.

I'm also having issues getting wifi tethering to work sometimes I have to force close to get it to work but on 3g and I have the latest beta

I'm almost positive that i used wifi tether on LTE about 2 weeks ago. I don't have LTE at work but i'll try again at home tonight and see if it still works. I'm using Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) on wifi tether 3.1-beta14... still using the LF9 modem though.

first screenshot = wifi tether
second screenshot = speedtest website.. speedtest.net wasnt working for me so i googled for another
third screenshot = my motorola photon tethered to my gs3
anyways.. it works for me with the settings i listed above.. i think i followed qbking's tutorial

Ive been using this WiFi Tethering
do the install put model on auto select start WiFi there will be a pop up saying something like there is a new/update for are sgs3.
I haven't had any problems on 4g or 3g unless I'm in a area where I must be on the line of 4g/3g

I did this, but the first wifi install is just the android wifi tether project with a wrapper. It said it wouldn't work on my device, as you stated, and then prompted me to install regular open garden. I don't want my phone to be an open, unsecured wifi hotspot. So I guess I'm fooked unless I can find out why the qbking setup seems to work for some people, but not me and at least one other person in this thread.

Here's the .apk that i use.
Device Profile = Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)
WiFi-Encryption Enabled
SSID changed..
that's all I did as far as settings go.
hope that helps someone!

I will agree i did use the same settings and I did accomplish a speedtest on my friends laptop using 4G LTE as my connection. Very fast i might ad 30Mbps down and 10Mbps up... Way faster than my cable here at the house.....

Ok, so I was able to resolve this by grabbing the latest beta from the project. The version in the play store, 3.1 v 14, just wasn't working right. The 3.2 pre1 version from the project page worked great. Anyone else having problems should grab the apk from the google pronect page. Here's the link.

*edit* updating link to general download area of the google project page, rather than the specific version.

Has anyone tried the FoxFi app to see if it allows the phone to use the LTE signal?
I'm in LA, and LTE is not available yet.

i have spent entirely too much time on this tether app and this is because it was not working, but here is what i did which was a collection of things i read here but i had to mix the options up a bit
fist of all i just got this phone 3 days ago and i allowed it to do all updates like a fool
i rooted this 2 nights ago
i am running wifi tether 3.2-beta2
access control is off, sure i get msg once in a while but as soon as i turned this off it immediately loaded the page on my laptop
my profile is: Samsung galaxy nexus gsm, i know i know. im on sprint and its not gsm but this worked
setup method is: auto
it works quickly every time even after reboots of gs3, app and laptops
thought i'd share

AT&T hotspot - "Wi-Fi Hotspot Access Failed"?

Ever since AT&T revealed that all unlimited users are now capped to 3gb/month (5gb for LTE), aka no more 5% crap, I can't get my Nitro automatically connect to any ATT hotspots around the town. I get message in notification bar saying
Unable to confirm eligibility, please call Customer CARE at 800-331-0500.

Before that, every time there is a hotspot available the phone automatically connects and nothing required from the user's side. Now I have to manually open browser and agree with their terms of service.
Anyone experiencing this?
I will test mine out to see if I get the same issue, and report back my findings.
I've had that happen a few times recently too. The app would seem to keep trying and would eventually connect successfully.

I'm having the same problem. I've been bounced back and forth between AT&T Mobility and AT&T Wi-Fi so many times. Like you I can always get in by going to the login screen and logging in with my DSL credentials. I also have a grandfathered "unlimited" data plan.
I recall this happening previously (like when I go through a McDonald's drive-thru) but I've only chased after it since March 1. It's happened in 2 different hotspots, one in Boston and one in Memphis.
I'm on a Samsung Captivate with OEM Gingerbread.

Make sense?
Try restoring the hotspot app in Titanium Backup again and then reboot.

Can't use Titanium. I'm not rooted.
I tried clearing the application data. I'll post back whether that helps or not.
Running latest Kernelpanic rom I don't experience this problem.
I finally got my WISPr connect to work. In "Wi-Fi settings" I had "Network notification" unchecked. I checked this and then went to an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot.
It connected!
Not wanting to leave "Network notification" checked and get all those nagging notifications I unchecked it and visited another AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot.
It connected!
See if this helps you.
It is actually nothing to do with our phones, it's ATT ****ing with us.
I've checked it with 3 different phones, all had the same problem.
Now, all three one day connecting fine another - no go.
Come to Canada it works...wait forget it we don't have ICS. ;-)

I fully believe this is exactly what they are doing. It pisses me off, but instead of switching plans I'll switch APNs. HAHA I win!

T989 + Straight Talk + AT&T Sim = Intermittent Data? Help?

I have this phone unlocked and use it with Straight Talk.
I used it with a TMobile Sim and it all seemed to work fine (as expected)
I bought an AT&T Sim because I wanted to give it a try due to better AT&T Coverage.
Now the problem that I have is that the data is VERY inconsistent and unusable at times, even when it shows 3G and full signal bars.
Sometimes it will pull up web sites, sometimes it won't.
I can run a speed test and get 6mbit then a minute later it won't even pull up Facebook.
Any ideas as to why this is?
Could it be that even though this phone is compatible with AT&T bands that it just doesn't work well?
I used Straight Talks recommended AT&T APN settings which included a proxy, but with that I kept getting something about Proxy Authentication failed, so I read that I can remove the proxy settings, I did, and now data works but very up / down / on / off even though I have great signal and 3G icon is on.
Anyone using this phone with AT&T? Any issues?

I encountered this problem. To correct it I downloaded the 'tweakker' app from Google play, deleted the current apn settings, ran the 'tweakker' configuration for straight talk, then rebooted. Data has been flawless since.

I think the problem is that its sloe to switch back to HSDPA when it switches from umts. Sometimes I gotta toggle data on/off to get it working correctly. Any build.prop tweaks to keep it on Hspa?

I will try the Tweakker APP and see if that makes any difference.
It's just very annoying to have such intermittent data, especially when I am really trying to do something!

I am also using my T989(rooted,unlocked) with Straight Talk (AT&T). At the beginning, the data connection is good and that's why I switched from T-Mobile. Now, I got the exact same issue, the signal is very strong and shows "H" on the icon bar, but just cannot connect to internet. I didn't use much 3G data this month( about few hundred MB), so I don't think Straight Talk has blocked data.
I tried Tweakker for ICS Beta, but could not automatically configure the APN for my phone (ROM: AOKP Jelly Bean Build 1). I manually configured the APN per the instruction. Now I can do a Speed Test, but just cannot connect to internet - Chrome says invalid proxy. ...
Can anybody help? If I still cannot make it work, I might have to change it back to T-mobile although I really don't T-mobile.
I get excellent coverage and data with tmobile monthly 4G but it depends on your area, im using uvle radio with jedi mind trick v7

I have Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S 2 T989 and just transfered to Straight Talk with a micro sim card put into a sim adapter to use on my cell phone ... however, I tried everything to get the data working but no luck at all .... it just shows bar for the signal with no data.
Calling and texting working fine.
What do you think guys? is it because the micro sim or what?

I'll pay you to fix this. *PLEASE*

Basic info:
- I'm on The People's Rom GS3.17
- I'm using KTweaker and running one of their profiles
- I'm ATTEMPTING to use Tasker to regulate Wifi home/out and data home/outside
So pretty much here's my problem:
I've attempted to use Taster to make sure Wifi is ON when im at home and OFF when i leave home (according to cell towers)
I've also tried to make sure Data/Wifi is OFF when screen is OFF and ON when screen is on.
But even if Tasker was working perfectly, this problem still persists and this is it:
1) When I use WiFi at home, every so often, it will just shut off (even if the screen is on) and it will revert to 3G
2) The only solution to this is to turn off Wifi, then turn it back on, and only THEN will it capture the SSID and connect to the internet.
Example shown below:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

In the above picture, "InternetOnly" is the SSID for my university and yet, with Wifi enabled, it doesn't access the damn SSID and the internet! It is using 3G. In fact, when I click to connect to that SSID, it says "out of range" which is BS. Only when I reset the Wifi connection does it connect me to the internet/ssid. Exact same problem occurs with the SSID at home. Wifi policy is set to sleep "never" btw.
As for Tasker, this is what I'm using for automation which is failing epicly (I deleted the task about cell towers because it was getting annoying):
I THINK the problem would work if I stock resetted my phone using ODIN but I don't want to
Someone please help.

Okay so it happened again; I'm at home, and it was connected to WiFi, and now it's back to 3G even though WiFi is enabled. When I click to connect, it says "failed to connect to network" even though I'm literally a few feet from the router.
In TPR you have to freeze in Titbu just like you did good move. The settings have it removed because so many people where messing things up not knowing what they where doing.

Yeah the update is that even after flashing the damn .zip, the WiFi still randomly disconnects from my SSID (even though the WiFi itself is enabled)

Should I just change the SSID? I heard sometimes it doesn't like upper-case letters and numbers.

Note 4 WiFi Speeds

What kind of speeds are you guys getting on your home wifi? For some reason I'm only getting about 7Mbps down, on a 12Mbps service. My PC confirms that I am getting 12Mbps when I run speed test from there, but my Note 4 won't do much more than 7 on the same connection.. Any ideas?

I don't see any problem. At 50 Mbps service i got over 60 Mbps
Definitely have issues since update
My WiFi seemed to work fine when I first got the phone. I took the OTA update and since then I'm getting about 25% of the speed I do on my PC. AT&T is ruining a great phone
I've also had some off wifi speeds since the update. Have 20mb/s at home from my ISP and will randomly drop to 5mb/s but the speed on my laptop will be fine. It's not consistently slow though so i'm not sure the issue.
Wifi slow since update
I'm also having a very similar problem. Everything works speedy over LTE, and it seems its fast on the wifi networks at my work, but my home wifi is incredibly slow. I notice it most with the Play Store, Google Now, and Maps. Images don't load, links/results load slow. Updating apps takes a bit longer.
I did a test and while on wifi, I used the stock Internet browser app and did some searches on google.com, which all returned immediately. Doing the same searches on the Google app took 3 times as long to get the same results.
I know this was an odd test, but I used OpenVPN Connect to VPN in to my home network while on LTE. The same problems occurred over VPN. At first I thought that it was my home wifi, but neither my Nexus 7 or Galaxy S3 have these problems. I'm hoping this gets fixed when the Lollipop update rolls out.
Yea, it's weird because my girlfriend and I have identical note 4s. She hasn't updated hers to the latest os version yet, and she is getting the same crappy speeds on her phone. When I test my speed on my PC I'm getting what I'm supposed to get. Idk, maybe it's this crappy dsl service we have. I'll have to run a test on someone's cable service and see how that goes.

True I prefer cable over DSL any day.
I've had this issue for a while,I use xfinity. I have the WiFi router built into the modem with telephone also.ever since they thought it was cool to make my WiFi a xfinity open hot spot for any customer that sits out side my house and wants to use my router they can,as long as the sign on with there xfinity account.I've had all kinds of wifi issues,my hardwired connections are fine.My WiFi speeds get so slow my phone goes to LTE until the connection gets better.I called and had them disable the hotspot from info I got searching google,they did.It seemed OK for a few days,then same issues.This has been going on for months I'm going to take the modem in a get a new one,but I've read people doing this and still issues.This has happened on my S3,S4,S5.On my note 4 same issues but I have a new one,even when my WiFi is strong and stable certain things won't load even tapatalk,if I toggle off WiFi on my phone and refresh on LTE no problem connects like it should.I disabled power saving that was recimended, but I don't see a change in anything.Even after it refreshes I don't see any stat changes in the dialer WiFi menu.What I does the WiFi power saving mode do anyway?

Yes, most definetly. Cable is far superior to dsl presently. We can't get cable where I live, and dsl is my only viable option. I read about a new technology that is being worked on, that when completed will enable data to travel up and down dsl infustructure several times faster than cable. I don't recall the exact numbers, but from the sounds of it, there's a good chance that dsl may become the preferred infustructure for ISPs in the future. Here's the link to the article that goes over it.. I thought it was really interesting.

Try Netflix over wifi, any issues?

Just recieved my G4 from T-Mobile. Factory fresh device here. When using the Netflix app while on wifi im recieving problems. Basically sometimes doesnt log me on at all. Then when i do switch to cellular data, it then works. Also the videos take longer then usual to start if it does start at all. I have the Note 4 right beside me connected to the same wifi, works without a problem. I did factory reset again to eliminate singular instances. Doesnt seem to effect the outcome. Anyone else with similar problems??
No issues for me on my Verizon G4 on Wi-Fi.
No issues for my tmo variant.
Does this issue replicate on other Wi-Fi networks as well?
I haven't used Netflix long on the G4 but when I was checking it out it seemed 100% fine. Logged in superfast and playback as well. I did testing vs my Note 2 and the G4 blew it away how fast everything was loading etc.
I had to turn off Wi-fi calling. I couldn't sign into Netflix with it on. Netflix is working fine for me with it off.

Not likely, in my case at least. The router in question is an ASUS RT-N16 running a Tomato variant with QoS rules that have been working flawlessly for me for two years. In addition, I wasn't even using Wifi calling, it was simply enabled. My N5, N7, and Galaxy S2 have no problems signing in. The error I received had to do with the network time. As soon as I disabled Wifi calling, the error resolved.
Turning off wifi calling worked. Thanks for the advice.
So after getting the replacement G4 in store my Netflix not working either without Wifi calling off. The old phone was able to play back fine with it on. Can anything else be tried. Since Wifi calling is a feature I use at my house since we have bad signal area and only use Netflix on Wifi so they both need to be working. I tried everything from Netflix chat will try a modem/router reboot again.
I did another factory reset and only connected the 5G wireless signal (thought maybe that was the issue) it worked right away but once google service updated again thats it wont work without Wifi calling off so...
Anyone other Tmobile users can test this or Netflix and say if they need to have Wifi Calling off or not ?
I do believe it's something with the Google Service update since I tried it again same issue. I did find out you don't have to turn Wifi Calling off but change it to Cellular Network Preferred instead of Wifi Preferred. It does work if you change it back to Wifi sometimes but only if the video is preloaded but it's hit or miss if it works but if you play another video you will have to change it back to Cell or Off.
WiFi + "WiFi Calling" + NetFlix does not work
I had the same problem with my new "LG G4" phone. If connected to WiFi and the "Wi-Fi Calling" feature is enabled then I get these NetFlix app errors:
- Please make sure that your device has network connectivity and the Date and Time settings are acurate (-3)
or
- Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please visit the Netflix website (12001).
I tested on multiple very high quality WiFi networks.
The workaround was to:
- Disable "Wi-Fi Calling" when using WiFi and NetFlix
or
- Don't use WiFi, instead use T-Mobile's cellular data network
Thanks but look @ Sfkn2 post at the top member is with Tmobile and said no problems. I replied around that time no issues but now I have the problems. Yes those are the errors.
Someone is to blame and they all just want to point fingers at each other. It's on Tmobile to fix this and that probably won't happen.
Right. Apparently I can't take a screen shot for you guys to see while the movie is playing. But you can see I'm connected to WiFi calling on tmo network..

Yes that's what strange that I had 1 of them working on it but both don't now unless I change to Cellular Network Preferred . Can you tell me if your on a 5GHz or 2.4GHz connection or if both work and then your Router model. The connection shouldn't matter much since I had it working on both and found the 5GHz was strong enough to use in most my house and was using that most of the times. Might try changing the channels or something.
I have the Asus RT-AC68U (not the Tmobile one) I bought this just after release.
Streaming to my phone using the Emby app from my Emby server works fine as well.
I know we have a work around to atleast Stream but need to get this sent to the right places for a fix.

Netgear N600 - model WNDR3400V3.
Makes no difference whether it's 2.4 or 5. Dynamic IP setting. QOS option is off.
I posted the issue over at http://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/3bedec/lg_g4_netflix_not_working_with_wifi_calling/ and got a response from a Tmobile Employee which I believe is on the Engineering side. They are going to report the issue so it's a start to see if they can fix it.
