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.

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

So I'm all excited I was able to root my LG Optimus G (Sprint edition). Had similar problems as others with the WiFi tethering until I made the helpful suggestions made previously (thank you Barshalen). The strange thing here is whenever I try to connect my laptop to the phone's WiFi hotspot, within seconds my laptop presents the good ol' BSOD. Never had anything like this happen before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

I've got the at&t version and I'm seeing this as well. I can get a working hotspot with the SGSIII, generic and generic ICS/JB profiles, but with each one my wifi is horked after I stop wifi-tether. I can't use wifi as a client, and a second run of wifi-tether fails. A reboot clears the problem and I can both use wifi and wifi-tether again.
I'm hoping that there is either an update to wifi-tether or some profile that fixes this...

Wifi Tether not working.
3.3-beta2-06102013***Synergized***
The Wifi app will start with SU permissions. I have the settings set to the before mentioned advisement, however the wifi will not work i.e. it is not visible at all to any computer. When I am near another wireless network the wifi tether app will abruptly stop and give me an error that says "WTH your phone takes back over the wifi-interface" then the app shuts down.
Can anyone help with this issue, is there a resolution for the problem?
Is anyone else seeing the same thing?
I may be experiencing 2 seperate problems, meaning 1. the network is not seen and 2. the app stops from the wifi-interface taking control.
Anybody using AOKP made the Wifi Hotspot to work?
I don't see any error when I enable it, but cannot find the hotspot from my tablet or PC.
Thank you
If you are using a secured connection it won't work. Only open connections work for WiFi tethering.

You should search the AOKP thread to see what people are reporting. I remember some people saying it had to be set on WAP2 but a search will get you more info.
i just checked Q&A on the aokp thread and it is stated as a known bug ,, wifi tethering is not working , it says bluetooth tethering is working so I guess if we want to use tasks's rom we have to live with that. ,, who know's , maybe there will be a fix in future builds .
Awsome rom none the less!!!!!
Is there actually a Wi-Fi tether app that works for our phone? I've tried Wi-Fi tether from the market, and other devices will connect to my SSID and "tether", but it will basically be a worthless connection because I won't be able to surf at all from the tethered connection.
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 10 tablet since I get great LTE signal here in Dallas where I live, but I can't make full use of it since no tether app works properly with our phone...any help is appreciated!!

Lol, dude...I have been on XDA for more than ten seconds. I know how to search. I've found and already looked through that thread. There is no real answer there other than what I already mentioned about changing a lot of settings for a possible solution...which still didn't work when I tried.
I'm not looking for some smart assed answer about searching because I already have...extensively. I'm looking for someone who might have found an app which actually WORKS.

WiFi tether actually works. But it kills wifi. Use one or the other per reboot. Just like the link says. Generic ICS/Jb wlan 0

Settle down tiger. Try a reboot. See if it works. Its been working for a few of us since zvb dropped. You might have to use Trevor's WiFi tether. And i did read your post. That's why I'm answering.

Here's the settings I used to make Wifi tether from the Playstore to work. Remeber either WIFI or the Wifi tether per reboot.
1.Change device profile to - Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
2.Setup method - Auto
3.Enable wifi-encryption
4. I changed SSID and my Passphrase
That's it. It's worked for stock JB and Imperium. Haven't tried it on Lifeless yet.
mine is on the Generic ICS/JB on wifi tether my SSID will show up but wont connect at all.

Is whatever you're trying to tether set to auto? Also, Wi-Fi cannot turn on at all after a reboot if you're on zvb. Try it on other things also to see if its the app, or whatever you're trying to tether.
Edit. Try going to settings, enable access control.

When I had this problem (at&t model but probably the same issue), I had to select a different lan in the wifi tether settings. Either the arp cache on the tethered device still had old entries (since the default network is the same as my wireless network that my device had just been connected to), or it's just that wifi tether applies the wrong netmask. Right now I'm using the setting "10.10.3.0/24" which works, but in reality it's assigning a 255.0.0.0 (/8) netmask to the interface!
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.

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...

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
