Try looking for the foxfi addon. I heard that it sometimes helps. Also read the instructions when your setting it up.

a lot of those wifi apps claims they work without root, but it is only for certain phones
root your galaxy s3, it is the only way

Ok do you know where I can find a link on how to root the phone? I dont want to brick it since I just got it.

Where are the settings? Not in foxfi?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I've read that foxfi is not yet ready for our phones, maybe in the next update.

If your on the unlimited plan you cant share the network. They block it that's part of the contract no tethering or hotspot.

Worked fine on my phone before I rooted.

Any updates on this issue? Does rotting help make Foxfi work on our S3?

If you are rooted why don't you just use the wifi tether app for root from the play store. I just set my device as a galaxy s2 in the device settings in the app and it works. I am on the unlimited plan.

What settings are you referring to? Foxfi doesn't have any settings options that I've seen.

Yeah there really aren't any settings for this app.
When I try it on mine seems to start ok on the phone but computer can not connection to it.
I have even tried on my old sensation and it dont work with viper rom. Or a stock one s.

I've had the same problem with FoxFi. Install SVTP and set the profile to Samsung ICS. Still $15, but only once and its the only hotspot app I've found that can get around Tmobile's blocks on my stock nonrooted T999.

It said no firmware because there is no OTA firmware update at the time. Nothing to worry about. Let's see what's on your phone. Can you screenshot a pic of your build number, like this.

Thanks for the response.here are my screen shots I still can't connect to the network. The Sim worked in my other phone right away this one won't connect tho.

Hmm out of service, I'll double check if your IMEI has not been blacklisted. Hopefully guy didn't sell you a stolen or lost phone. If you are willing to flash a custom ROM, could help to.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I haven't rooted yet if I do and flash a custom ROM would that work. The phone has been working for the past 4 days with no problems till today.

Glonass gps support?

Anybody knows if this phone comes with it enabled like the Galaxy S3/Note 2? I know the S4 chip supports it but I keep reading online some manufacturers like HTC and LG disable it. Anyone?

Basically I'm looking to see if this phone has the ability to see the extra Russian satellites. Like this picture, the square ones are glonass. Gps is so great getting locks with the extra sats. Person already has issues with her current phone (gs2) so that's my main reason for checking. If not I guess gs3 it is =(

I owned an s2 before this phone and I can tell you that the Gps in the s2 was crap! The difference in the lock on time between these two phones are night and day.. As far as picking up the extra Russian satellites I'm not sure on.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just going to go to the Sprint store and downloading gps status on one and see what it pulls. I also need to check the Evo lte since I will be choosing out of these two phones.

Nearly positive it does since it uses the S4 Pro, everything after the S4 should have it built in.

If it's anything like my Note 2 I already know! Those are indeed Russian satellites. I'm already sold on getting her this device just for the fact it's a quadcore plus now it's verified that glonass is enabled. I hope development for this phone picks up asap!

That's for T-Mobile from reading it...
"Step 10. Once that’s done restoring, your phone will reboot. Just give it about a minute as it will reboot. Once rebooted, you can insert your T-Mobile SIM card and start enjoying T-Mobile 3G/4G HSPA+!"

Yup. I see that now. Flimflam said that the hack was in that site. Thats the only one I saw that looked relevant to the post. Maybe I missed it somewhere.
