Native bluetooth tethering - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Has anyone been able use the native bluetooth tethering on their S3? I'm able to pair and connect to my Nexus 7 but then my data connection becomes unavailable and I get this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My S3's data connection comes back if I disconnect it from my Nexus 7.

Do you have the Sprint Hotspot plan? If not, that's why it's failing.

Don't have a Hotspot plan but I thought that was only for wifi tethering. Interesting. So I guess the only workaround is to use something like Foxfi and PDANet right?

Right. You can also flash Cyanogenmod for working native Bluetooth+USB tethering.

Gotcha. I'm kind of diggin' my TW ROM right now so I'll probably give PDANet/Foxfi a try.

I used it for a while
Never had the hotspot plan
Then it suddenly stopped working

CM10 is the only rom that has the native sprint hotspot app working.. i'm hoping more roms get it working as well, it's a native app that comes on the phone and it's pretty simple. there are other wifi apps on the market but you have to be rooted iirc.

pretty sure none of the 3rd party tether apps work on GB. Pretty sure none of them are updated to work with GB is the problem. Your stuck with the integrated one until then.
K thanks

Yup, that's correct. Tether was a no go for me on salvage mod for the same reason.

When I had CM7, I used BarnacleTether. It should work. It came stock with the version of CM7 I was using...the CM7+wimax.
Barnacle tether seems to work will be testing for the tie being thanks for that

Because neither of them operate over a data connection?

Point. I'd forgotten that. I had just assumed that a lack of data also meant a lack of being able to use your connection for making/receiving SMS and calls. Or that they'd be extremely spotty.
Ok guys, but how can Market be working if mobile data connection doesn't ?
so ugly!
its just a simple copy of a dead WebOS (facepalm).
Its should the opposite way - Android OS have to be ported on to GONK devices not the way like this
Where can I download it?

Cyanogenmod 9 RC1 WiFi Issue Samsung Epic

Hello all,
Tried searching for this but couldn't find anything. I just flashed to CM9 but I can't figure out how to connect to WiFi. I have WiFi turned on but no pop ups for networks found.

Menu->System Settings. Wifi should be the top option. Give it a touch, select your desired network, and it should be similar to the pop up from there
I walk on toilet paper cuz I'm the s###!
nope didnt work.
the wifi option is on like i said but no network popup comes up like on the official releases. is there a manual network search button for CM9?

Recent issue with VZW GNex native Tethering..

Just recently, I'd say within the last 2-3 months, I've been losing connectivity with the native tether on my MMuzzy 4.3 rooted GNex on a Macbook pro.
My downloads or youtube streams would work for a bit, and then stop all of a sudden, and would take FOREVER to recover. This would rarely happen prior to I'd say the last 2-3 months.
I live in the capital of CT, so my phone gets consistent 4 bars. Nothing's changed really except for updating from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Even went back to 4.2.2 JB to see if the new update is the issue, and I was still having this same problem.
Anyone know what's the deal here? Is this an outdated radio issue, an OS update issue, or is VZW up to their old tricks again?
Any ideas would help, this has been driving me nuts so I've had to resort to USB tethering (which doesn't cause this break in connectivity issue).
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!
For some reason wireless tether has been working pretty smoothly this past weekend, and I'll update this thread if the connectivity hiccups for an extended period again. :good:

[Q] How now to get wifi?

My phone is a Sprint Galaxy SIII that is stock rooted. I didn't root until after accepting the OTA update to 4.3 MK3. I could use a little help getting wifi working, as there is so much out there I'm a little lost on what my next step should be.
I used the 'saferoot' method using my ubuntu pc. It worked flawlessly from the command line. It also installed SuperSu and I think it did something to disable knox, but I'm not sure what. I don't have a custom recovery or custom rom, everything else is stock.
I tried using the Wifi tether 'Trev-E' mod, but that just gives me errors and I can't get it to work.
I use this phone with my company email, which means they have hooks into it but I'm not sure in what ways.
My company laptop doesn't allow an adhoc wifi connection, only the normal infrastructure mode, so I'm hopeful someone can point me to an infrastructure capable tether app that actually works.
I'm a technical person, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff. I usually google around and get frustrated because I'm not sure what applies to me and I don't want to end up bricking my phone because I did something stupid.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Treat me like a total noob. How do I flash this hacked hotspot onto my GSIII? The link says I need a custom recovery. Which one do I choose and how do I get it loaded? Do I have to use custom recovery, or can I use 'Odin'? Thanks.
*edit*
Nevermind, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I flashed Philz recovery on the 2nd try, once I had that flashing the hacked hotspot was easy. It works with my work laptop too, yay! thanks again!
