Tethering no longer working? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I'm on the east coast and we were affected by Sandy. I was able to tether to my laptop for 1-2 hours until I was redirected to their hot spots home page. I used the beta wifi tether app. I also tried easy tether and I get the same thing.
I am on CM10 fwiw

If you're on the truly unlimited plan then no you can't. Use the search function and Google. There are hundreds of threads pertaining to tethering.
On a side note,
How are your speeds? Mine are like 50-70 kB/s download. Thinking maybe sandy effected it but I don't recall them being any better before sandy.

You just need to change your user agent. If you use Chrome, then change it to Safari. If you want you can just use Safari or Firefox as your browser as well. IE will get this, and Chrome will if you don't change your user agent.

I think Firefox is blocked as well, you can use anything but those two. You can even use the "on mac" user agents, such as chrome on mac apparently they don't block Mac users

Browser(s) won't load website

Any idea what may have happened to my browsers using mobile data?
Specifically www.mautofied.com isn't working on T-Mobile. I turn my wifi on and its working fine.
Both stock browser and chrome will not load that specific website. Other sites are not affected.
I have tried a cache wipe.
Could it be T-Mobile error?

Are you being throttled? I'm being throttled and i'm getting speeds to the point where sites almost always time out. Also, try toggling your mobile data connection. Sometimes, my phone says connected to a network when it isn't and sites don't load but never say no internet connection.

[Q] Tethering only works sporadically...?

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

Try turning your screen off to 10 min instead of 15 seconds. I tried that and it worked for me. Don't know if you guys are using juice defender but that might be an issue as well.

Oh okay native as in the one in more settings. I think the T-Mobile app shortcuts to that. But nvm that doesn't play nice if you're stock rooted. Why not run a custom Rom and use it? I don't have a tether plan and it works fine for me

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.

What WiFi teather app?

Does anyone have a WiFi teather app confirmed to be working on or OGs? With or without root?
I am using pdanet tether and receive 1\2 the signal strength but still looking for a wifi hotspot app that will work.

No other settings that i know of. But I'm really starting to wonder about the radio on this phone. It just seems to have good and bad moments. With WiFi also.

Are you able to get to speedtest.net on the computer you WiFi into your phone with to see what difference is between the 2 tests
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
At work, so no. Honestly, never been concerned with speeds. As long as it works im fine. Might be able to test later with my tablet tho.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Still think the radio in this thing is not that great. Reception fades more with this phone than the one it replaced. And that one sucked too.
Anyway, speedtest was all over. Anywhere from 300k to a best of 1900. Ran it probably 8 or 9 times.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
If run the speed test app on the phone what do you get

About 1300-1400k. Which is about right.

I normally get 13 megabytes per second to 22 megabytes per second down and around 10 megabytes per second up on my phone when I tether via bluetooth dun I get about 6 megabytes per second down and 2 megabytes per second up on my PC. After root in using wifi tether I am NOT able to get to speedtest.net to check on my PC

A Little Advice.
This app would appeal to folks living in newbie Nirvana. There's one born every minute...I hear.
For those who insist on using unsecured wi-fi hotspots (e.g., coffee shops) and/or accessing sites that don't employ (at a minimum) HTTPS ,you can easily cloak your activities from this tool with a simple OpenVPN client. See 'simple Internet Access' up on Play Store. An encrypted OpenVPN tunnel will keep your activities cloaked and data unreadable
Pretty crazy. I saw my wife's iPhone on our network and used the password sniffer- it immediately told me her Hotmail username and password!
I already knew it of course, but the implications are frightening!

WIFI Tether for root users settings JB

This may be old news, but I got WiFi Tether for Root Users to work on our T989 running JB 4.2.1. Change the default device to "generic ics/jelly bean wlan01" and set the network settings to "auto". Set the channel to "xxxWlan01" and force the driver updates.

You set these parameters in the apps settings menu. As for not working on CM10...is that Jelly Bean 4.2.1? Or 4.1.2? I am guessing that may make a difference. Wait never mind you did say 10.1 nightly...therein may lie the kicker...being a nightly and all. I am posting some screenshots.

Possible fix for wifi tethering in cm10.1
How to have it working : Stop the Wifi, go on internet and look at your IP. In adb, do netcfg.
It will show you a line like that : vsnet0 UP 10.95.95.175/32 0x000010d1 00:00:00:
So, here, [vsnet0] is the [INTERFACE]. <----
Just after, do su -c "iptables -tnat -A natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -o [INTERFACE] -j MASQUERADE"
Oh, use Terminal Emulator.
Thanks for your helpful and informative participation.

I followed a thread posted by Agentfour20 on the galaxy s3 for tethering. I also got it working on the hercules by following all the directions, but i had to uncheck the "Send Netd Max Client Cmd" for the laptop to pickup the internet. I tried this mod on cm10 and cm10.1 and could not get it to work. I am running infamous 3.1 final now and everything works great. I would post a link to the thread but I don't think i can yet.

I did the $1.99 one month subscription to hot spot shield, and then it let me have full speed. I double checked with speedtest on the comp. Also with the subscription you don't get all the popup ads on your phone. You have to use the trevemods wifi app. Hits thanks if I helped
I have a quick question, though this might not be the place to ask. I just acquired this sweet little device and haven't had the opportunity to root yet so I'm stock. I have my s2 prepaid on the$70 monthly plan. I have this app called foxfi to use as my mobile hotspot. It works fine when I connect to my PC however after while the Web pages will pull up to t mobiles Web page saying some BS about paying for hotspot. Now on my account app its says that my data plan is null but my data works fine. Any thoughts?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure about the prepaid plan, but with the method I'm using you have to be rooted. So far it's the only way around the upsell pages with full internet that I have found for our phones. No changing u.a. strings or anything like that.
