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.

I have it at 1 min, but I'll try that.

Nope I'm using the stock, I just rooted it. That's all. When you say, native what do you mean the tmobile app?. I don't have a tether contract, just regular unlimited data...

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 haven't tried that one, in fear that t-mo will just say: hey we want money!
I will try the WiFi tether beta when I have the chance... where can I get it? Market?
It's not in the market. I'll try to find a link. You can Google it.

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.
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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
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

Okay I just tried it today & it keeps saying it started with errors & to check the log. So I did &,it keeps failing on the "loading wifi driver" part. What does that mean??

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

Also alot of roms (assuming you are rooted) come with native sprint hotspot hacked and ready for use.

I do have the version you mentioned, in your above reply, installed. &,did the settings like you said &,all I keep getting is the error of wifi driver loading, failed.

Everyone I time I move to on new roms it typical updates shortly after through okay store. are you absolutely sure you are rooted? You can get root checker from the play store
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
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

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?

Link that I have posted, still working and my S3 is working with tether app. I have been using my laptop and other devicec without any issue.

I recently rooted my gs3 and flashed synergy rom and used the trevE hot spot mod.. off and on for 2 days.. Then I got a text from t mobile saying that my hot spot has been blocked.. When I tried to use it again it would not show up on my computer anymore.. I then flashed darkstarker and jedi5 with the same results.. I had the same results with the foxfi app.. But with the stock hot spot it can connect but no data.. With the hacked trevE mod and foxfi it won't even show up for me to connect anymore.. Did t mobile do this and Is there a way I can fix this?
Please help..

Are you using a VPN or just the hotspot app ?
If the later, use a VPN, too. There is a guide on how to do this in this forum that I followed to do so.
No VPN.. But I'll look it up and see what I can come up with
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You must and should have used the vpn hotspot shield and they would have not detected. It requires both for this to work without detection

It defaults to WiFi automatically (if it's available) to save use on your data plan. You can configure it to use data connection only in the advanced WiFi settings, not sure why you would want to, but the option is available.
And yes, the eye is smart stay/scroll etc... , you can turn it off by going into controls >smartscreen >smartstay. Keeps the screen on as long as it detects your looking at it ..
