Does anyone know if the File Sharing app included is compatible with any other phones, or just LGOG?
Has anyone tested android beam as well? Its not working for me when trying to send to my Galaxy nexus. I can receive just fine though.
Lastly, has anyone tried it the WiFi direct apps on Google play? The couple I have tried don't work for me either.
Thanks in advance.

Actually quick update I guess restarting my NFC fixed Android beam, but still no word on WiFi direct.

Sadly from what I've read we can't utilize it within the built in settings it requires an app to work. What app is the question as well as why? really wish it would work.

no one app out for wifidirect

Any luck with this so far? is this feature completely useless? :silly:
Hey guys, I tried to use the built in hotspot app on my sprint gnex running 4.1 rujellying m1 and the computer detects Android AP but doesnt connect.
I installed wifi tether from the playstore and chose samsung galaxy nexus CDMA/LTE in the settings and my computer wont even detect its SSID.
Anything I'm doing wrong?
Tried an older version of wifi tether and still cant detect it with my computer or ipad.

I haven't needed to install any other apps. I just set it up for wifi hot spot, check the specs on the password and then just connect with another device. In my case, a Nook Color running an unlocked version of Gingerbread. Works fine.
Edit: Oh wait, you have a CDMA phone? Your carrier may have installed software to prevent this.
Yeah, but I'm on a custom Rom and trying everything and cant tether. I did everything as specified in qbking's youtube video guide and it refuses to work.

What app Oscar anyone using on their rooted Samsung s iii?
Prior to switching it was baked into my CM9 os. So I am not sure what app to download. I have tried one bit it is constantly stopping

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

Www.foxfi.com will let wifi sctivate with root or no root. Does work for gs3. I use it frequently with sprint.

But it doesn't work. It says it active but you get a error on the device when you try to use it

Yeah FoxFi wouldn't work fir me either. My laptop saw the ssid but would never connect. I tried another tablet but had the same results. Wifi tether used to work for me but doesn't for some reason after the latest update.

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.
Any luck with older versions of wifi tether?

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.
Ver 1.81.3 wprks fine with the sprint version.

That is incorrect. On the newest wifi tether app in the market, you set it as Samsung galaxy s3 and it works great. On 3.1 beta 14, you have to select galaxy nexus cdma

The app will not work for jelly bean. The developer needs to update the app. I have not found any wireless tether apps that work with jb

Hey there,
is there a way to connect to an ad-hoc network using the Galaxy Nexus whith JB 4.2.1?
I know that Google does not support it but I also know there is way to modify the wpa_supplicant file (which I can't).
I found different modified wpa_supplicant files for other devices but none for the Galaxy Nexus.
I searched this forum and yes, I also used Google but I did not get a working solution.
I know it is the 10000th thread about it but any skilled programmer must have found a solution.
Thanks in advance!

So I've tried 2 different aosp roms, MiBox 1.20 and IllusionRom, and I can't seem to get wifi tethering to work on either rom. It works just fine for me on touchwiz. I tried using the hotspot built into the rom and ive tried treve mod wifi tether app and neither work.. Does anyone know how to get it to work? Thanks.

If I remember correctly, it states in the OP of both of these that this is an issue. It is an issues with most AOSP ROMs.

WiFi tether works fine if you edit build.prop with for example ROM toolbox from market and edit it and add
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
Then save and reboot and built in WiFi tether should be working fine...
If your build.prop doesn't have that line to add then add it and you should have it working right...

Have you tried yet adding
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
To your build.prop and check if the build in tether hotspot works?
Works fine for me and I always add that to get it working...I forgot were I got it from but it works
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I've been trying to get wifi tether working with no luck so far.
I tried adding the ro.ril.transmitpower=true
I tried downloading a beta build of the wifi tether app (3.2 pre2)
I tried it with mms clamping and routing fix on and off.
The best i can get is i see the hotspot show up on the available networks, but when i try to connect it either gets as far as getting an IP address and then just keeps re-trying that (the app shows a device connected) or if i have encryption enabled, it doesn't seem to get past authenticating.
Some of the combinations i tried the network doesn't even show up under the list of available networks.
Can anyone offer some advice on how to get the wifi tether working? I'm using a sprint evo 4lte, with the viper rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
I'm using Liquid Smooth and have not had any issues tethering, do a back up and give it a try.

I'm not quiet ready yet to try totall resetting the phone and installing a new rom. I'm still hoping there's something i can tweak somewhere to get this working without having to go that far.
