I just downloaded foxfi on my s3 and its not working. I says its ready but when I try to connect my laptop up it gives me a error on my laptop. I used foxfi before on my samsung transform ultra and it worked no problems. Anyone have any solutions for it or know any other programs to do it without root.
The dl site foxfi.com/bin
Says they're working on a fix for the s3, so not yet

I believe my phone is rooted... & I was able to use my phone as a modem, using the wi-fi tether app, for a long time.. Then I didn't use it for months. I tried to use it today, but I don't think it's working any longer.
Are there any specific setting that I need to set, in order for it to work? Is there anything I need to look or check for, to make sure it's all good? Is there anything I CAn download to make it work for sure??
I am on Android 2.3.6
Still using gingerbread el29
sprint epic 4g touch
Any help would be appreciated!!

also..if initially it doesn't work change setup method to ad hoc
It's not working. Not even showing up in the list of available networks on my PC. It used to work. I dunno why it stopped.. This sucks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Might i recommend uninstalling the app and reinstalling. Change device profile in the wifi settings to galaxy nexus (cdma/Lte) should work without changing to ad hoc

Okay I just tried it today & it keeps saying it started with errors & to check the log. So I did &,it keeps failing on the "loading wifi driver" part. What does that mean??
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I keep trying to get it to work &,all it is saying is that it started with errors. & the error log said something about the wifi driver failing to load... It worked last night. Don't know why it stopped. Please help.

I use this app it's "wifi tether for root users" I've used it on GB,ics and jb as long as you're rooted all you gotta do is click the button to start the hotspot.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Same here... Wifi tether for root users is what I use for all platforms... GB, ICS, and KB. Reinstall the version I told you to get and do exactly what I said and it should work fine. Don't change anything except phone profile to galaxy nexus CDMA/LTE. When you change the profile in the apps settings it should say toro briefly and disappear. Make sure you have the version I mentioned above... Or pm me and I will email you the apk file. And yes you must have some signal to get any of the tether apps to work

hit the thanks it doesn't hurt.
Also alot of roms (assuming you are rooted) come with native sprint hotspot hacked and ready for use.

I do have the version you mentioned, in your above reply, installed. &,did the settings like you said &,all I keep getting is the error of wifi driver loading, failed.

Everyone I time I move to on new roms it typical updates shortly after through okay store. are you absolutely sure you are rooted? You can get root checker from the play store
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Could always try Fox Fi (If it hasn't been mentioned) should work without Root as well. (I typically don't tether much if at all so cant' really chime in on it too much) i do have a friend who uses it constantly at work with no issues.
Ok either try clear clearing cache and dalvik cache in recovery... Reboot and install the wifi apk and do it again. Our maybe get FoxFi or a Custom ROM with sprint hotspot hacked... If you p.m. i'll give you the best chances for free wifi

Has anyone who has the note 2 and galaxy s3 tried using s-beam?
I tried with my wife's phone and it kept failing and giving an error after starting the transfer, like it was having problems starting connected.

Tried it for the first time today and it worked fine between my S3 and N2.

Thanks. Can you try a larger file such as a downloaded movie (700mb)? This is what I was doing when it failed.

I did a 200mb file fine
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
tried it with my gnexus and couldnt do it..or didnt do it correctly..one or the other
I figured out what the problem was. I guess you can't be connected to a Wi-Fi signal when transferring via s beam. As soon as I shut Wi-Fi off, the files transferred without failing

Interesting, my Wi-Fi was on when i tested it... i was receiving the file though...Not sending it

Galaxy S3 rooted, need Wi-Fi tethering advice
I'm a new & proud owner of this phone, and thanks to advice found on this website, owner of a rooted S3 in less than 30 minutes. But I've been trying all the suggestions for setting up a Wi-Fi tether to little avail.
I just downloaded & installed the mod version that was the last suggestion made. It installed fine, and actually shows up as a SSID but I cannot get my laptop or my old EVO 4G phone to actually connect to it. I left the settings on default, other than changing the password of course.
Any suggestions or hints?

Link that I have posted, still working and my S3 is working with tether app. I have been using my laptop and other devicec without any issue.

I recently rooted my gs3 and flashed synergy rom and used the trevE hot spot mod.. off and on for 2 days.. Then I got a text from t mobile saying that my hot spot has been blocked.. When I tried to use it again it would not show up on my computer anymore.. I then flashed darkstarker and jedi5 with the same results.. I had the same results with the foxfi app.. But with the stock hot spot it can connect but no data.. With the hacked trevE mod and foxfi it won't even show up for me to connect anymore.. Did t mobile do this and Is there a way I can fix this?
Please help..

Are you using a VPN or just the hotspot app ?
If the later, use a VPN, too. There is a guide on how to do this in this forum that I followed to do so.
No VPN.. But I'll look it up and see what I can come up with
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You must and should have used the vpn hotspot shield and they would have not detected. It requires both for this to work without detection
