Develop Bugs

I missed my foxfi...

after upgraded to ICS . Otherwise, I like my new dessert

Maybe I am dumb, but I just tried Foxfi for about 10 minutes and it worked perfectly. I just used the simple hotspot as I have used before. Can you explain what the problem is?
My phone is stock ICS, not rooted. Thanks

My tablet always got direct to tmobile sign up page for tether option.

Tablet? Either you mean phone or you are in the wrong forum dude

He meant that when he tethers to his tablet, he gets redirected to the tmobile up sell page

for some reason, my Foxfi is working now. When activate the Hotspot, it no longer turn on the Mobile Hotspot in phone setting like it did before.

What do you use for tethering?

Just got my T-mo GSIII, and just wanted to see what wireless tethering apps work, if any. I need something to keep me until AOSP roms come to the US GSIII. I'm going away for 2 weeks today, and desperately need internet access for my laptop, but find the fees for tethering rediculous.

Once rooted I use wifi tether from the market, works great.

Try Foxfi it works pretty good

Our just use the native tethering in the phones menu after you root...it's discussed in the development thread.it's never given me a problem. Those apps tend to suck..

Where at looking for a native option like on the sg2 days when you froze a certain app to make it work. Couldn't find anything in that everyone seems happy with the apps which u think they suck as well. There was one thread where they mentioned freezing an app but it broke wifi calling. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

+1 for FoxFi. Market > Install > Activate Hotspot > Done.
Easy peasey lemon sqeezey.

Wow, Sprint blocked this from the market on my phone and on the desktop it states Foxfi is not available on your carrier. Foxfi does provide an external link though, thumbs up for them.

Not working on Verizon?
First the encrypted boot loader, now no wifi tethering? Really regretting my preorder now, might have to refuse shipment on this and continue to use my Thunderbolt w/ unlimited data and tethering for free

Try using the Market Access app. It will spoof your carrier so you can access the apps available on the market from TMobile or AT&T.

[Q] new unlimited. Still tether?

I've seen a couple threads and I'm a bit confused.
I know the new plan doesn't have wifi hotspot... Not like that service really mattered.
Was wondering for those who are on the new plan. Can you still tether?

I'm just gonna put my two cents in, I'm not on the plan, might get the s3 with this plan. But, from my knowledge, there is no way for them to know what's using your data unless you're on a stock ROM.

I was wondering this very question myself.

Tethering is still working for me after I made the switch yesterday. Hopefully I don't get charged though.. even though I don't use tether, it's good to know that everything works on my phone. How would i know I'm being charged for it? I didn't receive any "warning" popups or anything like that before continuing.. do I just have to wait for my next bill??

I wonder if they can develop some methods that could detect your tethering and block it?

I had the tether feature free when i upgrade to 5G and now I'm on this new plan and the rep told me that i still keept my free tether and my other line will have it free as well...
but gosh Tmobile just got bad after they close the calls center with reps I had to talk to 4 people for one simple reason cause none of these new foreign knows what their talking about. so im not sure if i still have the tether will see.

Only by puting an APP on your device. I know a little bit about networking, and thats the only way. packets are packets. the user-agent is the only way to see what type of browser it is. but like i said before, a lot of android browsers use the desktop user agent.
But why would/should any carrier stop it? Especially if you are on a tiered plan. Its YOUR data, use it how YOU want. PERIOD. wethere you are streaming on your laptop, or streaming on your phone and using an MHL conector to your TV, its STILL streaming. Period.

Just got this, and i'm on the plan. also using stock rom.. http://offers.t-mobile.com/tethering/upsell.do?source=pcweb

For those unable to tether and being sent to that page, You could try using a different tethering app. Try foxfi, my dad is a tmo employee and doesnt have tethering on his plan, but says tethering works perfectly fine on his stock unrooted t989 with foxfi. I might also recommend cwm tethering.

I purchased easy tether a couple of years ago. I'll try it when I get home.

They need to show that because they need a
fixed number. It's the same with minutes, i remember a while ago they had something like 999999 minutes. That's a long time ago though lol. But do you honestly think you'll use 10000GB lol

Yeah thats from the mobile site? They're probably slowly updating yo hide the number and showing unlimited instead... TMobile aren't exactly the best at web developing... Remember their slow and crappy websites when trying to check your usage. It's a tad better now lol.
Anyways, it looks like there are mixed reviews, but i assume native tethering is no good but some 3rd parties are still good? Keep the feedback coming fellas

i'm looking for a different sort of tethering

I'm in a hotel with WiFi which I've paid for. The problem is I want to use all my WiFi toys and to do this I will need to pay 50 per toy (4 toys it could get quite expensive)...
So what I want to do is log in to the wifi with my s3 then tether all my toys to the s3....
I've looked for a tethering apps but no luck
Does any one have any ideas how I can do this...
Thanks

do you have a laptop with wifi? yours toys have wifi ?
if so use a progam callded connefity hotspot in the laptop!
You connect the laptop to the hotel wifi and then confirure the program to create a hotspot for yours toys.

Its connectify hotspot.... error corrected ..

it does work on certain laptops with only one network card, not all models though, it works on my gf's HP but not on my Toshiba.
although I highly don't recommend it, it messes with your network card drivers and I once had to format a laptop after installing it, and I work in IT so I know what I'm doing

[Q] Rooted tether - AT&T

Hey, guys. I just received my M8 today. Love it. I unlocked the bootloader (AT&T) and rooted it. The only thing I'm missing is tether. I don't have a tether plan. After freezing the tether check process with Titanium Backup, I have tried Estrong and a wifi tether widget. Nothing seems to make it work. Toggling it on in the settings just causes nothing to happen (it never even switches to on).
As it stands, I can't get it to work. Anyone know of a fix? Seems like last year we had to flash a modified apk on the M7.
Thanks!

I had tethering on my plan and paid the extra $$ per month. Recently, I changed my plan to the new family share 10gb. Saved me about $40/mo and tethering is included, along with unlimited talk and text. Maybe that might be another option...

Ahhhhh.....sorry. Wish I had some more ideas to help.

Yah, it seems like modified apk is the way to go. I was looking into this last week, but it turns out that the system partition is still locked on Verizon even though we have root. Are you able to modify system files on other variants of the m8?

You can through recovery - you can copy the file over or make a symbolic link into a modifiable partition
I can test it, what should be modified to enable tethering?

Hmm... Good to know. I don't have anything yet, but maybe Thursday or this weekend. I've got a ton of schoolwork due on Wednesday.
Btw, can you run the tethering app and get a logcat from it? Thx

This actually seems to work, though I can't get my iPad to see the network and connect.

Have you tried installing, WiFi Tether Router from the play store? Works really well on the M8. So far I've done 5GB on my 2GB tethering plan using it.
