Wifi tethering issues.

I'm trying to use my Wifi tethering, it always shows an error about ad-hoc. I disabled via titanium backup the 2 or 3 components so TMO Can't track, however still won't work.
Thanks in advance.

Wi-Fi Tether Issues... Help!!

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

I keep trying to get it to work &,all it is saying is that it started with errors. & the error log said something about the wifi driver failing to load... It worked last night. Don't know why it stopped. Please help.

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

hit the thanks it doesn't hurt.

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

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?
Lee

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.

WIFI Tether for root users settings JB

This may be old news, but I got WiFi Tether for Root Users to work on our T989 running JB 4.2.1. Change the default device to "generic ics/jelly bean wlan01" and set the network settings to "auto". Set the channel to "xxxWlan01" and force the driver updates.

Left wireless channel as the default 01 selection... Changed setup method...force driver reload...no luck for me
Hope it works for someone else

How do you do it haha
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

You set these parameters in the apps settings menu. As for not working on CM10...is that Jelly Bean 4.2.1? Or 4.1.2? I am guessing that may make a difference. Wait never mind you did say 10.1 nightly...therein may lie the kicker...being a nightly and all. I am posting some screenshots.

Possible fix for wifi tethering in cm10.1
How to have it working : Stop the Wifi, go on internet and look at your IP. In adb, do netcfg.
It will show you a line like that : vsnet0 UP 10.95.95.175/32 0x000010d1 00:00:00:
So, here, [vsnet0] is the [INTERFACE]. <----
Just after, do su -c "iptables -tnat -A natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -o [INTERFACE] -j MASQUERADE"
Oh, use Terminal Emulator.

Thanks for your helpful and informative participation.

I followed a thread posted by Agentfour20 on the galaxy s3 for tethering. I also got it working on the hercules by following all the directions, but i had to uncheck the "Send Netd Max Client Cmd" for the laptop to pickup the internet. I tried this mod on cm10 and cm10.1 and could not get it to work. I am running infamous 3.1 final now and everything works great. I would post a link to the thread but I don't think i can yet. Good luck, hope this helps. Here's the link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063043 This is a very easy setup method and it hides your IP

It works great, the only issue is the speed isn't 4g...

I did the $1.99 one month subscription to hot spot shield, and then it let me have full speed. I double checked with speedtest on the comp. Also with the subscription you don't get all the popup ads on your phone. You have to use the trevemods wifi app. Hits thanks if I helped

I have a quick question, though this might not be the place to ask. I just acquired this sweet little device and haven't had the opportunity to root yet so I'm stock. I have my s2 prepaid on the$70 monthly plan. I have this app called foxfi to use as my mobile hotspot. It works fine when I connect to my PC however after while the Web pages will pull up to t mobiles Web page saying some BS about paying for hotspot. Now on my account app its says that my data plan is null but my data works fine. Any thoughts?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I'm not sure about the prepaid plan, but with the method I'm using you have to be rooted. So far it's the only way around the upsell pages with full internet that I have found for our phones. No changing u.a. strings or anything like that.

Is there a WiFi tether app that works on 4.12-4.22

None of the WiFi tether apps I've tried on any jb rom work. Is this a T-Mobile thing? Or a jb rom thing?

I use WIFI Tether. Works great and no bandwidth limitations with an unlimited account. You have to go into the settings and select galaxy s ii for it to work properly.
