Wireless Tether with any ICS Rom .....

Just wanted to let you guys know that if you want to wireless tether with any ICS rom just install wireless tether beta 11. Go into settings and change device profile to "Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMA" and voila you have infrastructure tether with 4g!
I would attach the apk but I can't seem to do it from my Prime so here is the link!

Thanks works perfectly!!!

No problem. I also needed to tether and couldn't use the ICS ROM either so I had to come up with a solution. I figured there were others out there in the same boat.

Do the GPS fix mentioned in the threads. You have to go back to the EL 29 ROM and get a GPS lock with maps. Then immediately go to recovery and nand restore your ICS ROM or just flash an ICS ROM and I promise you will get a lock. Sometimes it won't lock but if you turn off GPS and turn it back on it well lock immediately. It's like the wifi issue where I have to turn wifi off then back on in order for it to reconnect to a saved wifi connection. This sort of sucks but it's a reliable temporary fix.

I've only used this on Caulks ICS but I don't see why it wouldn't work on Mijahs since he uses Caulks as a base. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it.

i had no problem for the 2+ years i was tethering and using it as my home internet. then one day a few months ago, i got the same message from tmobile. point is, it only takes one time. it has nothing to do with jelly bean or ics, or gingerbread. now i pay $15 a month to tether and use it as my home internet.

Alright, thanks. I hope that is not the case.
Does anyone else have any other experience after switching to jelly bean? Anyone replicate this problem or have an app that works?

Also, I have tried wireless tethering, which is based on same open source software.
It says it started tethering with errors and to check the log, which then says that the log doesn't exist and it can't open it. Same error with opengarden tethering.

my epic 4G has a wifi tether app ( the yallow one ) anyway when i use it to connect my Google Nexus 7" tablet before i update to 4.1.1 it works but after i updated to the latest jelly bean my nexus wont even find the signal anymore,
BTW i tried SVTP WiFi Hotspot and USB Tether - Lite it works but is it safe or does the carrier detect that , thanks

I am on Verizon, and I had a lot of issues when I first moved to jb on 4.1. Originally I used wireless tether app, as I used it on every other version I had. It would not work. I even tried using barnacle from the party site, and same thing.
I finally switched to 4.1.1, and just used the built in tether, and it has been working fine for about 3 weeks now. I never got a message about being to call tech support, but then again this is Verizon and I am not sure who your provider is.
It might be like someone said above about them knowing you are using it, and you need to call to set it up. If that is the case, that sucks.

Yup seems like jb broke the app, I can tether with the native app but on Sprint that knocks you off wimax and only leaves you with 3g. I can confirm its a jb thing because its working fine on my wife's evo that is still on 2.3 also worked fine on ICS. Like others it seems to start up fine but my tabblet won't pick it up.
something clever goes here...

After alot of hit and misses I finally got internet access using pdanet, foxfi, and enabling bluetooth network access. It's not the best but it was wiresless and free.

Wifi tethering not working for me on stock or cm10

Ok I am on the new unlimited data plan that just came out. I was rooted on the stock rom.
T mob pushed me a text last night saying wireless tether has been blocked for me. I was using the wifi tether app from the play store and it seems I cant use it. I also tried foxfi and its not doing anything.
So I flashed cm10 thinking I could get around it and I saw I couldnt tether still with it?
Edit using uvlh2 radio
Was still using stock kernal
Any ideas guys?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Which radio/baseband are you running? If you've updated to the newest leaks, ie. LI2 or LI3...somehow wifi tethering isn't working. But i've gone back to LH2 and everythings good.

I had the WiFi Tether App v3.1 beta working on H2 on ICS. It will not work on any JB with the same radio.
On frosty's JB ROM, hotspot in settings wanted to start up, but it immediately tried to get me to upgrade to tethering plan - and then would close when I wouldn't.
It only FC'd on Xquizi JB, and the beta will not work there either. The beta had worked on the ICS ROM's I had tried - including Xquizi's. Did not use it enough to be sure TMo would not block it though.

Are you saying it functions but ur getting the upsell page? If that's the case the baseband shouldn't matter. They block ur tethering based on your user agent. Make sure ur not using internet explorer. Best way around it is Firefox w/ the user-agent switcher add-on.

I'll keep that in mind. I however had the text from t mob saying its been blocked. It can still connect to the net but I get the up sell page.

WiFi Tether from the market works best for me!

I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this app 'wifi tether' and gs III stock. It seems to indicate that it does not play well together. This is why I was asking, because this was my experience today: No consistent connection, it simply drops the tether and the app stops.
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2

Better get used to it if ur stayin stock. All that works unless u have the means to Bluetooth tether. If u can do it with Bluetooth try foxfi. Normal tether doesn't work with it yet. Also if u haven't done so, in addition to setting gnex profile in the tether app and unchecking the disable wake lock option, delete ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app. Probably the cause of your tethering woes

Thanks for confirming

WiFi Tether works for me just fine (gotta select the GNexus CDMA/LTE profile).
The only hiccup I've found is that before I activate tethering, I often need to do a fresh reboot on the GSIII, or else it will claim its broadcasting, but it really isn't.
And, of course, root IS required for this particular app.

I don't know enough about the rules on posting links so................
I did a google search for "wifi tether versions"
Down toward the bottom of the results I came across a page from the androidpolice site.
Right above the row of three screen shots is the following sentence: (If it does get pulled, however, you can always grab the apk from Here).
Click on the word "Here" and it will take you to the android-wifi-tether project home page.
Click on downloads and that will get you to where you want to be.
I am running Jelly Bean on my GS3 and have yet to be able to get wifi tether or foxfi to work at all.
I am about to start at the oldest version of wifi tether and work my way forward until I find something that works.
Until I find something stable, I will be using pdanet for wired tether. Hey, it works all day long for me.
On EDIT.............
Ignore most of the above and just google "android wifi tether project"
It will cut out most of the steps and is the first result on google.
Dang, I've been here almost two years and still considered a new member?
Had to wait 5 minutes before I could edit the post with better info.
Trust me, I'm a real person........not a spam bot!
Sure it has something to do with post count.

Not yet.
Work got real busy right after I made the post and I wasn't able to go through the apk's.
I have to go over to another house and do a few hours worth of work before I can really get in and mess with these.
It may be late this evening (for me) but I am still going to try and run through them.

Sorry about the delay.
I wasn't able to do anything with this until this morning.
I was unable to get any of the versions to work with JB.
Three different computers........three different os's, n one would see it.
Could possibly be that I am simply missing something.

The Bluetooth works on mine, I have not tried the USB yet. I didn't think Sprint would make it so easy to tether or maybe sprint doesn't have any control. I'm just happy I can tether again.

problems with mss clamping and log.files
Similarily to a previous poster, when I updated to 4.3 my wifi tether trevE no longer works. Whatever is keeping it from working is preventing my wife's s4, both are rooted (obviously), they both have the same message. When I try to start tethering the reply message is " tether started with problems, please Check logs"
when I go to the logs, it tells me the file doesn't exist. I think this is my main problem.
When looking up the proper settings, enable mss Clamping was # 10 on the list, but there wasn't a setting for mss clamping.
Has anyone fixed this yet? I've seen plenty of google articles with the same issue. Thanks in advance.
