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

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

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

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

Hey Peepz,
I rooted my GS3 and installed WiFi tether. Selected the Samsung Galaxy Nexus profile and the general ICS/JB profile.
The problem is that WiFi tether only works sometimes, so I enable it. work with it. turn it off and maybe 2 or 3 hrs later turn it on again - it says "press to stop tethering" but no WiFi hot spot is visible to my devices (iPad, Laptops, etc). Then i turn tether off, on, off, let it sit there, restart the phone and once ever other try (dozens and dozens of trys) it works.
Is there something I am missing? Btw I have two GS3s and the same happens to the other one as well...
Yeah same here. I have to start stop a few times then I see the wifi network.

Have you seen a pattern? I haven't had much time with the phones yet (approx. 2 to 3 days). I tried turning off WiFi before tethering but have not found a solution yet. are there any other apps I should try? is WiFi tether the only one? It seems like thats the one people are using...
Are you running any custom roms? Native tether works perfect for me. Other than that i think the Wi-Fi tether for root users 3.2 beta is the best after that

Same prob. with my Teth.
I got the same problem with my USB tethering. I plug in my CPU, it's working perfectly for 5 minutes, after that, everything stop. Same with my WIFI Hot Spot. Dunno what's the problem ?!? Maybe it will work fine with Jelly B ! Hope it comes fast for videotron.

I was asking the guy i quoted
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Mine works, however after a few minutes, the data craps out. Any suggestions? I'm using the auto profile. If I leave it for a few hours, turn it back on, then it usually works again for a few minutes. Is this something Wind is doing to stop you from using lots of data? I have an unlimited plan.
Do you mine sharing your settings. If I use wifi tether straight out of the box, default everything I'm getting redirected to the Tmob page which says my cost will be $14.95 per. When I change profiles to say Generic Ics/JB and change to channel 6 I still connected to the phone but I get no "internet connection". I've checked ipconfig and of course it shows I've connected to the phone and dhcp has assign me an ip, 192.168. something but I got nothing. Right now I'm fu***ed. I so wanted to call comcast and tell them... well you know!
I still may just pay the $14.95 to Tmob instead of $70 to Comcastm makes sense. Before tmob shut me down I was getting 8-10 down and 1-1.5 up on my lappy thru the GS3!
Any tips or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
If you get the upsell page then change the user agents. What Rom are you using... why don't you use native tethering? When it says no internet connection... just wait awhile until it reconnects you should get internet after that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I'm using cm10 nightly and I did use the hotspot option thru the phone to test the speed. I knew Tmob would get wise and block me which they did hence the sell thru page. So I down loaded Wifi Tethering and installed but wasn't too sure about the setting? I also installed the user agent pluggin for Chrome. Then I selected "Chrome on Windows" as my common user agent and here we are.
Can't seem to find one that works

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?

FIX!!! EDITED POST!!!!!!! AS OF NOVEMBER 16
WI-FI HOT SPOT FIX!! Encrption enabled!!!
I did it this way and it worked for me. I downloaded this app supersu and installed it with superuser also installed.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...infire.supersu
Apparently the supersu adds more permissions than superuser which helps this app to work. I then opened the modded Wi-Fi tether app and supersu will ask u if to allow this app. Accept it and then try the Wi-Fi tether app. Encryption will not work. I have my settings to the Samsung galaxy S 3. I also changed the network name to something else aside from android tether. I then uninstalled supersu. I then reconnected to the wifi tether app and it works flawless. Again ENCRYPTION WILL NOT WORK.
Dls5375 post has the link to download the modded wi-fi tether app. Hope it helps.

do this:
make sure you have installed busybox( stericson) latest version. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=es (install the app then enter the app and install modules and then reboot)
uninstall tether modded app, then install superuser(different from superU) from play store( yeah you have to have both superuser and supersu, at least that worked for me).Open superuser, now close it( just hit home button), install modded wifi tether, dont touch anything just hit the start tethering.
Now it will work, rebember not to use encryption just enable acces control and it will be just fine.

It would seem the latest JB update for TMO has closed the loophole for Wifi Tether.

Same here, updated to stock JB with superuser access - wi-fi tether is not working anymore.
This was the only reason I needed the superuser. Is it possible that T-Mobile added some service controlling this feature? I think they did this on S1 or S2 phones and we had to freeze that service.
I have just installed the modded wifi tether app that works on JB. I don't know how to upload it here. Send me a message so I can email it to you guys.

WiFi Tether for Root, or Wireless? I have WiFi Tether for Root but it requires a slew of steps to work, I've read.

Flash a Sense based Rom that has working EPST. Then update PRL / Profile, you can do this over WiFi. If that does not work, you can call Sprint. Have them reset your Data on they're end. DO NOT tell them you are Rooted. They do not know if you do not tell them. It avoids headaches. Also THIS is a good thread to keep handy.

Ok so apparently this one works but does it have all the dns tweaks and stuff? I wonder what's keeping the newest version from working.. now I tried a suggestion from someone by downloading dual boot apk and I backed up my phone Rom and installed captain throwbacks stock Rom and tried to dual boot but when the phone rebooted it just rebooted to bootloader then I had to do a full wipe and reflash rom. The object of all this was to update the prl over wifi and boot back to jelly bread with the newest crossbreder installed in hopes that it would work
