[Q] WiFi tether issues - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I am using wifi tether for root and I have constant issues where pages wont load due to DNS lookup failing. Anybody have any idea how to fix this? I have tried several different profiles and settings even different DNS servers.

Assuming ur on a tw based rom, in the settings make sure "disable wake lock" is unchecked . And I reccomend deleting ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app/

Yes I am on a TW rom. I already had the wake lock thing checked and had the optimizer turned off but I went ahead and removed it completely and I am still having a lot of DNS lookup failed while tethering. Any ideas?

Wifi grayed out

This has been going on for some time now. I cannot actually pinpoint when it happened. But whenever I am at work, I can connect to the network and it's grayed out. I can still browse and use some app but I don't get notifications from my apps and cannot use Google Talk, for example. That entire app is grayed out.
It's an 802.1x EAP - PEAP - MSCHAPV2.
Anyone got any ideas or tricks to fix this? It used to work before and it doesn't. I do not believe anything changed on our end. And I also cannot just restart the router at work. Thanks in advance.

Can you access gmail directly? Sounds like google services may be blocked by your network admin? Just a guess...
Im trying to understand what exactly is happening with you.
Are you getting a wifi signal and no notifications?
or are you not getting any wifi signal at all?
If you are getting a connection but notifications and google apps dont work, it could be that your work router those ports blocked or has a firewall infront of it.
If you are not getting any wifi signal at all, I would try and backup everything, and do a factory rest - update. basically a stock, unrooted wipe and reflash.
Don't know why our how to fix it. But I know that if your wifi is gray you still have data connection. And if it's blue your connected to Google services as well
Jellin' like a felon
Okay, thanks guys. The ports may be blocked. I get WiFi connection, but the indicator is grayed out. When that is so, I can still go into an app and use it with manual refreshes but I never get notifications automatically like I'm supposed to. They only start to pop in one I leave with and get back in the cellular network. And for an app like gtalk, I cannot use whatsoever as I'm signed out.

This happened to me before and basically it was how my IT guy setup our WiFi network in our office. I couldn't use any Google push services on my phone (gmail, gtalk, calender, etc...). Every thing would work fine when I was on data connection, but would stop on WiFi. I just stopped using my work WiFi when I was in the office. It definitely had something to do with the firewall/privileges of the WiFi network.

port blocked..
google push notification and so gtalk need ports like 5222,5223,5228
usually in a work wifi only port 80 (http traffic) and 443 (httpS traffic) are open

Do you have wifi set to turn off when the display turns off?
I came across this thread because I'm having the same problem with my GS3, the only thing that solved it was installing a WiFi manager app from the market.
Factory reset plus downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.2.0 was the only thing that worked for me.
FIX FOR GREY WIFI/MOBILE DATA, and google account sync
HI THERE, sorry im new to e forum, anyways im using a SGS 3LTE with custom rom CM 10.2 android 4.3, CWM touch recovery. So many people are not able to connect to the play store and services over wifi, but only over mobile data. Another issue is that the cellular data and wifi tend to remain grey, unlike that of android 4.0 and back which remains blue. So to solve this heres what i did.
DID EVERY F**KING CRAP OUT THERE. DIDNT WORK.
What i did: use a file manager with root access, look for 'hosts' file in systempath 'system/etc/' and deleted it. So far so good, its permanently blue for both wifi and cellular data, and also i am able to access google apps and store without a hitch.
DO SHARE WITH ME UR FINDINGS/RESULTS AND SPREAD THE LOVE PEOPLE
On a side note: i used to flash and modify small roms for my old htc hd2, but the above fix was heard from a website from god knows where LOL, im singaporean, i speak singlish, and im proud of it so im not gonna apologise for the broken english
In case this helps anyone, the way I solved it at home with my Galaxy Nexus is by changing the setting of the router to Wireless G or N only. I have two routers, so I set one on 802.11g and the other on 802.11n only. By default my DLinks came with mixed wireless protocols. The problem with this is that it seems to confuse devices. That's why they also used to take long to connect to Wifi in general. Since I've made them only one standard now, they connect very quickly. Also, because I had mixed B, G and N on my best router, I never got to really use N. Turns out I had my authentication on WEP, and the only way you're getting N is by using WEP2 with AES.
Fix is here
Hello There, I tried to reset phone,clearing chache,Data but it wont work but now
I have a quick solution on this issue and grey wifi becomes blue in some minutes.
All you need is "Rooted Phone"
1.Install : Root Explorer
2. Grant SuperSU permission to Root Explorer
3. Mount Root Explorer into Read/Write (R/W).
4. Go To System > etc > locate "HOSTS" file in etc folder.
5. Edit Hosts file using root explorer
6. Insert the symbol # before the second set of IP address numbers then save the changes and exit.
7. Reboot your phone...
8. wifi icon will be blue as you start your phone back and some apps like Google play store,keep,etc will be start as normal.
Thanks.

[Q] HotSpot App besides WiFi Tether

I'm currently using WiFi Tether app with my rooted S3 but sometimes the stream is not consistent. Anyone know if any other hotspot app that works on S3 that I could try. Most in the Play Store are not compatible with the S3.

Theres foxfi but i think only bluetooth tether works on it. As for the wifi tether app. Make sure the Disable wake lock button is UNCHECKED. I recomend checking the keepalive box as well. also even tho there is a GS3 setting now Galaxy nexus tends to work better for me. Also if ur running a tw based rom delete ConnectionManager.apk from system/app. Gets in the way.
And as far as stuff in the playstore being "not compatible". Thats most likely cuz Sprint wants it that way. Never hurts to download elsewhere and give it a shot-- https://dl.dropbox.com/s/t9pqttpf4p4bp76/blackmart[1].apk?dl=1

Thanks I'll try those setting. Do you also what the MSS clamping and Routing Fix does. I don't understand most of the options in WiFi tether. And is connection manager the sprint option that automatically connects. I do have that disabled in the setting but I can also remove it as well. Thanks.

How about WiFi driver reload. Should that be checked or not.

Personally I never had to use mss clamping or routing fix however I have ticked them and they didn't seem to make any difference. I would however keep the WiFi driver reload ticked. Seemed to make the successful connection rate better. Its like the equivalent of turning your WiFi off and back on for a fresh start everytime. And yes that's what connectionmanager.apk is. Even with the option disabled it still tends to come on n f*ck up tethering

[Q] WiFi Tether Settings Help

So I know there are quite a few threads out there about wifi tether. The general concensus is that WiFi Tether is the best app to use, however I've found that very particular settings are needed to get this to work. While I am not a dev and have not had sucess in getting this app to work on our phone. I thought I would start a thread for those who have had success using the application in hopes that they could share their settings with the rest of us so we can take advantage of 4g as it continues to roll out. I have also tried Barnacle and not had any success either.
I found this on another thread, it was a couple pages deep so I'm reposting here, please swing over to other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138144&highlight=wifi+tether&page=2 #13 and give jdock a thanks for his fix. This works, but there is currently a bug in JB that only allows one tether session per boot. Once you disable wifi tether, it will not work again until you reboot the device
TY jdock
Try this:
device profile = generic ics/jb (wlan0)
setup method = netd-ndc (master)
wifi driver reload = checked
enable wifi encryption = unchecked (you can enable it later when it's working unencrypted)
enable access-control = unchecked (you can enable it later when the basics are working)
Now, when I first started with this app, my devices would connect to the AP but then give up because they couldn't get a dhcp address. I found that if I went into the 'change lan' menu and picked a different lan, that it started working (I currently use 10.10.3.0/24).
If you can't get it working, I came up with another method you may be able to use that does not use any app (I have the at&t model but it's probably the same). Basically you turn off wifi, then run a few commands (as root) that bring the wifi interface back up without disabling mobile data. It will connect to your local wireless lan as if you had enabled wifi. Then you can run a socks or http proxy and point your other device at it (easy if you're wanting to tether a pc, maybe not so easy if you're using something else). I haven't tried yet to see if it will route between the networks, which would mean you can just manually change your default gateway to your phone's wlan address and have all traffic go through it.

I hope you get some answers. I haven't been able to get this app to work on by GNex on JB 4.2.1 OR 4.2.2 using 4 different ROMs. The app doesn't seem to have been updated in many months, and I'm assuming that it won't work on JB in any form.

I'm on a JB rom now, and it does work. See the directions I posted from another thread in the OP and wifi tether will work. However, once you turn off wifi tether you will need to reboot the phone for wifi and data to function normally.
Even when Wi-Fi tether runs "with errors" it still works... for some reason my phone doesn't heat up as much when I run with errors -- probably had something to do with the Wi-Fi driver that the app reloads.

My wifi tether setup has no issues with data not working and I can turn it off and on without problems. I've used the phone for calls, texts, and internet after using wifi tether. The only issue is that you cannot turn wifi on after running tether. Once rebooted wifi will turn back on until I use tether again. I'm on a stock rooted JB rom.
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd ndc master
Send Netd max client cmd checked
wifidriver reload checked
Router fix checked
Wifi fix checked
I have access control checked as well but that doesn't matter.
I've yet to be able to get this app working. I've tried these setting before and several other settings to no avail. When I try these, everything but the first item in the log and the last two say they failed. Now it does broadcast it's SSID and I can join the network, but there is no data connection.
I'm on stock Jelly Bean rom. The funny thing is, I used Wifi tether app on Lifeless and Imperium and it worked with a few different settings.
Check your version. I use WIFI Tether TrevE Mod.
Mine version is 3.2-beta2-modv5 ***synergized***
I had similar issues until I found the right version to use. I never got regular Wifi Tether to work.

By Changing some settings I can get everthing to work EXCEPT for the Nat Rules, that fails still. If someone can tell me how to fix that perhaps I can get this to work. Seems though the Nat Rules keeps my laptop from detecting the new network I made.

Glad to see other people are able to contribute. I'm not a developer so not much I can do except dig around other forums and see what helps. I'm using Imperium Initiative v2.0.1 with wifi tether, with the settings in my op. Maybe there are some adjustments in imperium/lifeless that cause this to work. I will try the file posted and report back to see if I can re-enable wifi after disabling tether.
BUMP!

This one works for me with these settings:
Generic ics/jb Wlan0
Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Netd max client cmd - checked
Enable WiFi-Encryption - checked
WiFi-driver reload 2 - checked
Enable Access-Control - checked (If this is checked the first time the client connects, you have to grant it access from your phone. You'll notice a new icon on the top of your phone where all of your running program icons are. When you see it just pull down the list and select it and check your client and then hit apply)​Routing fix - checked
Hope this helps
something probably worth mentioning on this, I'm currently on Lifeless 14, and the connections optimizer was screwing with this app. I turned it off and it worked like a charm.
Not of concern to anyone AOSP/AOKP/CM/PA but for stock/lifeless/imperium(i think) this is worth looking into for some folks.

These settings worked for me using the Stock Odex JB 4.1 rom. and the TrevE mod version below. I had to reboot first after installing the apk, and reload the binaries.
throttling
Well since it seems the tethering problem hasn't been remedied yet (touchy and have to restart), has anyone figured out a way to get around sprint's throttling? Unfortunately I for the life of me can't get my MSL, and also unfortunately I hate using the phone to call sprint. hrm.
May I suggest jellybeer? Tethering is built in!

Problems after Tmobile's auto update

hey guys, there are 2 problems I found after the auto update from Tmobile.
1. WiFi still on even you "turn off" , you can exam this by install WiFi Analyzer. This app will not work when WiFi is really turn off.
2. VPN profile will auto remove right after you hit the back button. Before the update, I saved 4 VPN profiles and everything works fine.
Why Tmobile's update always mess up things? They killed my M8 and now doing this to my G4........so annoying.!!!!!

1. Disable Wi-Fi scanning in advanced Wi-Fi setting. If checked, it stills scan for Wi-Fi signals for numerous different reasons.
2. I just installed Cisco anyconnect app and my profiles didn't get deleted hitting back button or closing the app and "force close" app in the app settings, can you describe little more in dtail? Which app are you using?

I observe the vpn bug as well. It is really annoying.
I go to settings, vpn and basic vpn. Add a profile, connect, use and disconnect.
When I go to settings, vpn and basic vpn later, there are no saved profiles. Drivers me nuts.

There are some situations that will drive you more crazy:
If you on WiFi and connect to VPN, you can disconnect VPN by just turn off WiFi.
BUT, if you using carrier's network and connect to VPN, you have no way to disconnect it!! Profile is not there, no disconnect option from notification. (It just suddenly come to my mind, you may be able to disconnect by switching to AirPlane mode, then switch back. Or turn off mobile data, then turn it back on to disconnect.)
Otherwise, you will have to restart your phone.
I see it is not just me having this issue with the VPN connections not saving.
Called t-mobile, they say they don't support vpn's, called LG, and they said maybe my phone is defective and to send it back, now here on XDA I get the scoop.
Is there a work-around or app that I can use to connect to my vpn without having to reenter the damn info everytime?
Thanks

I switched to using openvpn. Installed openvpn access server on my home server. It was ridiculously easy to set up through the web gui. You can also easily download the client configuration files from the web gui directly onto the devices. It just works.
The only downside is, it is the commercial version of their software and it only allows two concurrent users connected with the free license (not really a problem for me, but may be for others).
The android app can also put a direct shortcut on your home screen so when you press it once, it automatically connects and returns to the home screen. Just one click and you're good to go. Doesn't get any simpler.
I know it's not the answer you expected but I highly recommend openvpn
Same thing here
I purchased it yesterday and as soon as the store clerk powered it up a new OS update downloaded without any warning. I didn't think much of it at the time, but after reading your post I am sure that T-Mobile and LG did something wrong because VPN profiles don't stay saved. I hope the next update will fix it. Also, I'm discouraged to call T-Mobile or LG after reading that those calls from others who are also in the same predicament as I am were a complete waste of time . Oh well, can't win 'em all, but the phone is sure nice otherwise. If there's one thing I've learned over the years is that the amount of money you spend on a phone (or other things in general) is never a measure of quality.

Exclamation mark on wifi and cell signal

So after rooting and installing latest Cataclysm (Jan 6th update) with ElementalX I get this exclamation mark on my cell signal and wifi.
When that happens, I can use Facebook, Whatsapp, Youtube and I am able to make calls, texts, etc. What I can't do is load any page that isn't a google page on my browser. Also, I can't load anything on my Reddit app that isn't a text thread. Images, videos and anything external in general, won't load.
When I restart my phone, everything works fine. As soon as I lose signal or turn airplane mode on/off, it appears and I can't get rid of it.
I tried:
Resetting my APN settings.
Reinserting my SIM.
Changing preffered network to 2G/3G/LTE.
Resetting network settings.
Flashing ROM again.
Flashing original EFS again.
Wiping cache/dalvik.
I have no idea what to do or what is causing this issue.
Please help.
Go back to stock ROM and see if it happens there, if it does it's a carrier issue if it doesn't it's likely a bug with the ROM/Kernel you are using.
What carrier are you on? Have you check and/or re-verify those APN settings ? Next time this happen, turn on Airplane mode for 15 or 30 seconds, then turn it off again - do you have a decent cellular signal ?
I'm running PureNexus with EX rom and it's fine, solid (and stronger) signal on T-Mobile vs. N5 used by spouse.

Im not from the US or something popular but trust me I verified my APN settings.

I saw it sometimes on my custom ROMs, nothing to worry about though.
If you enabled data and you don't get the LTE sign, then try going into the Hidden menu and setting LTE to automatic. I forgot the hidden code though, can somebody else supply it? Alternatively, you can go inside settings>others>network>apn and check the apn, then go out and change the option to LTE (recommended) or something

Is this occurring with the MMB29P radio and vendor installed?

Do you use Adblock Plus? I had the same problem. Switching Adblock off and on solved the Problem. Apparrantly they have a problem with Https connections or something

Removing Adblock plus seems to fix the issue, thanks.
