Hello guys hope any body around here can give any idea how to solve this problem.
I have a root stock samsung galaxy s3 with tmobile with 2 year contract also unlimited data, but i dont want to pay for the wifi tether. my problem is when my daughter wants to connect her 4generation ipod with my phone she cant. i try every app on play store but nothing. What can i do. Also if i found one app that work and she see the wifi when she try to connect it said unable to join network.
Get wifi teather on the app market and go to setting and change the device profile to galaxy nexus gsm and should work fine write back of u got problems
P.s the thanks button dont hurt if u click it

I let you know if work. thanks for the quick reply.
If that device profile doesn't work you can switch around with the generic ics wlan0 and 1, Samsung s3.. switch around until you can see it

Wifi tether in playstore work for me with my Samsung Tab or maybe Samsung S3 and Apple ipod they don't connect each other! lol. jk
Wifi tether creates an "ad hoc" connection. I doubt apple even knows what that is, let alone supports it. You're better off looking for a hack for the movie hot spot app. Gl

You can always change which connection to make... if you're talking about wifi tether for root users

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.
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.

Gamelofts wild blood only allows online game play on wifi. Prior you can trick gameloft games in thinking you're on wifi as long as your wifi is on and doesn't have to be physically connected to a router. It doesn't work on the s3. Anyone know of a way around this?

I too, have been searching. I can't find anything other than there used to be some tethering apps that enabled a softAP, but I couldn't get them to work on this phone

What would I do is: if you have another device, try thetering from it, if not, try thetering from your own s3... Good luck

Man has anybody figured out how to get wifi teather to work?

Yes, it's quite simple. Settings, other, tethering, and there you go.
EDIT: sorry, but i don't understand if you don't know where are the settings or if you can't use it because it doesn't work, mine worked out of the box.
Yeh i can connect to the tethering but it wont use my data

I did some treaks with pimpmyrom.. Gotta wait to get off work to see if it worked
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
What ROM are you using? If its one of the ones in the Development Section, chances are this feature is already good to go without any further tinkering. Most of the devs work this feature into the ROM's. And no its the same data you have when you aren't tethering (that's why carriers are scamming people). My two cents.

Op is allegedly stock, and tethering won't work unless he's on Share Everything or actually pays for tethering.
So OP, pay for tethering, switch to Share Everything, or flash a custom ROM....or root and use Barnacle.

It must be carrier specific. I have no issues tethering through WiFi.

Alright, I have a question.
Is there ANY WAY to tether my GN2 to my PS3(SuperSlim)? I'm running a custom version of CM10.1 and have NO problems sharing my connection with other phones, tablets and laptops through the "Tethering & Hotspot" settings. When I setup and connect to the internet on the PS3 it might connect and be good for like 2mins then it turns to s*** -_-
Please help me or at least tell me its impossible.
Thanks -Dev
+1 I am on the unlimited 4g plan and used to be able to tether with the treve modified tether app and hotspot shield vpn but that hasn't worked for the past few months

The exact same thing with me. I've been looking for a work around. But I just put my son card in my note 1, tether then switch phones. It's a pain. But at least I get to update. I'll let you know if I find something.
