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

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

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

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

why is it I can not get speedtest.net to come up and all my web pages are pretty slow to load on my laptop

No other settings that i know of. But I'm really starting to wonder about the radio on this phone. It just seems to have good and bad moments. With WiFi also.

Are you able to get to speedtest.net on the computer you WiFi into your phone with to see what difference is between the 2 tests
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
At work, so no. Honestly, never been concerned with speeds. As long as it works im fine. Might be able to test later with my tablet tho.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Still think the radio in this thing is not that great. Reception fades more with this phone than the one it replaced. And that one sucked too.
Anyway, speedtest was all over. Anywhere from 300k to a best of 1900. Ran it probably 8 or 9 times.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
If run the speed test app on the phone what do you get

About 1300-1400k. Which is about right.

Love this rom. I'm on V6, and so far every thing is smooth and functional except native hotspot. Tried reflashing, both dirty and clean but nothing. My PC can see and connect but no internet. I've searched this site but the few I've found with this same problem weren't answered. WiFi Tether works but phone gets hot. Suggestions very welcome. Thanks XDA community.

I dont think any developers have been able to get native hotspot working. And for the record, your phone would heat up regardless because tether is a very memory intensive process

Its going to get hot, as its an intensive process. You can try reducing the power on the transmit, but other than that change you rom governor and scheduler is the only thing you can do.

Long story short. Wireless tether for root works. BUT it'll kill WiFi. You can only use one or the other per reboot. Unless something has changed.
Edit. On ZVB anyway

WiFi Tether for Root, or Wireless? I have WiFi Tether for Root but it requires a slew of steps to work, I've read.
Haven't gotten it to work with the suggested settings, but haven't bothered spending the time to utilize a workaround.

Each device is different. You should look for support for the device in question rather than something completely different.
Try device profile = generic wlan(0)
Setup method = netmasterd
Reload wireless driver checked

Use a WiFi tether app. WiFi tether for root from the Playstore, or the Trevor? version of it on xda. If you can't find them let me know and I'll get you the links a little later.
EDIT: Found some links. One has the TrevE WIFI tether that some people use.

This. WiFi tether seems to work well for most people. Be aware that after turning it on you will probably need to restart the phone for wifi to work again afterward.

On the galaxy devices i have used these apps and the moded hotspot and never had to reboot to get on wifi. Is this a common issue on the LGOG?

It's common for our JB. Any stock ROM requires a reboot per WiFi or tether.

What settings are you using? Every time I have Wifi Driver Reload 2 selected, it won't tether properly. It looks fine on the phone, but the computer won't pick up the signal.
I've used PDAnet and haven't had any problems switching between hotspot and back. Hotspot works great and switching back is easy (no reboot). I use it all the time for my tablet when no WiFi is available. Just thought I'd mention it.
