Develop Bugs

So i'm conflicted.

For some reason on GB I am unable to download roms on my phone but I can have a functioning tether. But on ics its the total opposite. I have no Internet at home due to lack of funds but my girlfriend want to do her usual Facebook browsing on the computer.
Is there any wifi tether apps that you would suggest or is there an ics rom that I may have overlooked that has it working?

search the market wireless thether u need root

Sprint Hotspot works flawlessly on the Blu Kuban ICS rom. Haven't had it working on any others yet.

Seems to me the answer is to fix your gb roms. My issue with downloads on gb roms has been one of two things ; need to download "download all" app from market or move/delete files from download folder to make room.

Hmm. I wouldn't have guessed that of all things could have been the problem.

On ics there is wifi tether for root users, get from market. Just set device to galaxy nexus cdma and it works great for 4g tether.
On gb foxfi works well

Because that's the setting that makes it work with our phone. Don't think too much into it just set it and forget it

Yeah wifi tether works.

Blu Kuban has great wifi tethering

Best tethering app

What app Oscar anyone using on their rooted Samsung s iii?
Prior to switching it was baked into my CM9 os. So I am not sure what app to download. I have tried one bit it is constantly stopping

WiFi Tether from the market works best for me!

I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this app 'wifi tether' and gs III stock. It seems to indicate that it does not play well together. This is why I was asking, because this was my experience today: No consistent connection, it simply drops the tether and the app stops.
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2

Better get used to it if ur stayin stock. All that works unless u have the means to Bluetooth tether. If u can do it with Bluetooth try foxfi. Normal tether doesn't work with it yet. Also if u haven't done so, in addition to setting gnex profile in the tether app and unchecking the disable wake lock option, delete ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app. Probably the cause of your tethering woes

Thanks for confirming

Www.foxfi.com will let wifi sctivate with root or no root. Does work for gs3. I use it frequently with sprint.

But it doesn't work. It says it active but you get a error on the device when you try to use it

Yeah FoxFi wouldn't work fir me either. My laptop saw the ssid but would never connect. I tried another tablet but had the same results. Wifi tether used to work for me but doesn't for some reason after the latest update.

WiFi Tether works for me just fine (gotta select the GNexus CDMA/LTE profile).
The only hiccup I've found is that before I activate tethering, I often need to do a fresh reboot on the GSIII, or else it will claim its broadcasting, but it really isn't.
And, of course, root IS required for this particular app.

I don't know enough about the rules on posting links so................
I did a google search for "wifi tether versions"
Down toward the bottom of the results I came across a page from the androidpolice site.
Right above the row of three screen shots is the following sentence: (If it does get pulled, however, you can always grab the apk from Here).
Click on the word "Here" and it will take you to the android-wifi-tether project home page.
Click on downloads and that will get you to where you want to be.
I am running Jelly Bean on my GS3 and have yet to be able to get wifi tether or foxfi to work at all.
I am about to start at the oldest version of wifi tether and work my way forward until I find something that works.
Until I find something stable, I will be using pdanet for wired tether. Hey, it works all day long for me.
On EDIT.............
Ignore most of the above and just google "android wifi tether project"
It will cut out most of the steps and is the first result on google.
Dang, I've been here almost two years and still considered a new member?
Had to wait 5 minutes before I could edit the post with better info.
Trust me, I'm a real person........not a spam bot!
Sure it has something to do with post count.

Any luck with older versions of wifi tether?

Not yet.
Work got real busy right after I made the post and I wasn't able to go through the apk's.
I have to go over to another house and do a few hours worth of work before I can really get in and mess with these.
It may be late this evening (for me) but I am still going to try and run through them.

Sorry about the delay.
I wasn't able to do anything with this until this morning.
I was unable to get any of the versions to work with JB.
Three different computers........three different os's, n one would see it.
Could possibly be that I am simply missing something.

Ver 1.81.3 wprks fine with the sprint version.

That is incorrect. On the newest wifi tether app in the market, you set it as Samsung galaxy s3 and it works great. On 3.1 beta 14, you have to select galaxy nexus cdma

The app will not work for jelly bean. The developer needs to update the app. I have not found any wireless tether apps that work with jb

Free tether?

How easy is it to get free tethering on this phone? Same as on the Evo?

Download WiFi Tether for Root Users from Google Play, simple as that. Although it will (as the name implies) require root access.

Yeah I use WiFi Tether all the time. Just make sure you change the profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE and it will work.

while wifi tethering is not working on jb, you can use the native tether which is either bluetooth or usb. delete all of the tether apps you've installed and wipe Dalvik cache.

WIFI TETHER on JELLY BEAN (FAKE)

So the title says it all!
This is aimed at us GS3 owners who are fortunate enough to be running Jelly Bean thanks to Freeza...Well one of the down sides of the LJ7 JB update is that WiFi Tether no longer works for us! What a shame!!
Well I may just have a solution that will make you and your phone very very happy.
Follow the steps below:
1) Download WiFi Tether app from Play Store
2) Open app, and hit Menu, then tap Settings
3) There should be an option in Settings to configure your device with the app, in that option change Galaxy SIII to Galaxy Nexus!​This worked for me and I am now enjoying the pro's of LJ7 JB while tethering like a boss! haha
If this worked, please hit that thanks button, it helps me greatly

For ROOT users only, This app will be the first or second when you search "WiFi Tether" it has a Yellow WiFi icon

Did not work for me.

Did you save? It should work, Its been working for me.

I am trying this but I can not make it work. The app says that it is working but nothing can see the SSID or connect.

I tried both of the nexus options and it's a no go.

Doesn't work

I'm just going to assume this method does not work. Sprint blocked the tethering in purpose, it doesn't work on jelly bean for the moment, unless you can show proof?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Nope.

Fail

Doesn't work.

Btw, anyone looking for working tether on a ROM, as far as i know, all AOSP ROMs have it working, it's the TW ROMs that are having problems.

So this whole wifi tether issue. It seems fixable at some point and time. I had the hotspot working for like 2 days but never paid anything extra for it. It no longer works so I guess sprint is paying attention to something. LOL. I love the Jellybean though.

Tried it already...no go
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Already tried them all. None work on JB...don't waste your time.

Does anybody know if it's possible to do USB tethering on Jelly Bean?

USB tethering works fine for me, using the 'easytether lite' app. Let's hope the wifi team solves the JB issue soon.
