I'm on 2.3.6 stock ROM and the phone info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) doesn't work?
Is it just me?
Edit:
I definitely remember it worked on stock 2.3.5.
I tried it on Dewizzed and that doesn't work either, so I'm assuming it's not on our phones.

You know, I was just trying to use it and realized it doesn't work either. Is there another way to use
BT and airplane mode without it?

Just tried it on juggernauts and it doesn't work either. That's odd....I remember when I first got this phone it did work. Is there something you need to get to? Perhaps we might be able to suggest an alternate

i don't believe it works on any 2.3.6 based roms, but "battery monitor widget" from the market would have this option available to view the stats and other stuffs, free app.
As mentioned you can use "battery monitor widget" or "Network" available from the market to access the menu.
Also a neat app to have is "SGS Secret Codes"
Confirmed that it does work on 2.3.5

Tried it when my Lock Screen wasnt working,, ended up using Hidden Features free download from Market.
Found a solution to tmobiles user agent sniffer .
**Must be rooted for this to work * *
Steps:
1. Get TrevE Mod tether app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34037922
(you will not get a internet connection using any other tether app while using the VPN app)
2. Get Hotspot Shield VPN
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...id.vpn&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
(was mentioned in earlier post but couldn't get it to work)
3. Start Hotspot Shield VPN and connect
4. Start TrevE Mod Tether app
Problems?
Hotspot Shield does not connect or you get error 1028?
Get Tun.Ko from market and install it
Repeat step 3 and 4

Connected device does not receive internet?
In TrevE Mod tether app go to settings and select Device profile and select Generic ICS/JB wanl0 . Now select setup and select Netd-Ndc master . Check box that says send Nets Max client . Check box WiFi-Reloads driver 2 . Check Routing fix .You may need to change ssid too .
I am using Chrome with no user agent switcher and no longer get errors when trying to play youtube videos

Why would you need to keep the screen on . Are you using the tether app posted in step 1 ?
When my phone sleeps so does the tethering app..
I do have battery defender installed but not active maybe that could be a problem. I would think if not active it wouldn't interfere maybe I am wrong

T-Mobile can still tell you're tethering via user agent . It's only a matter of time before you get the text or have to use a user agent switcher. If you use the VPN your data is encrypted and tmobile can't snoop through your data .

So what if you set up a VPN through an NAS or router on your home network, and used the vpn software built into the phone. The S3 comes with two built in vpn clients, the native android vpn client, and the Authentec one in the app drawer pre installed by samsung. (does anyone have any opinion on differentiation between the two by the way)
I would test this myself right now, but havent set up the VPN capabilities of my home NAS, and wont be home for several days. But am really curious about this now.
I have in the past used a VPN through my old work work to netflix and hbogo and use my Play Music acount abroad, so I have high hopes for this idea.
Someone please test. I'm dying to know. I'll play and post when I get back.

Any tips on what settings you messed with? I'm having the same problems.
I have seen many posts regarding the tethering and hotspot on T-mobile, as it is only available on the data plans that are not unlimited. T-mobile blocks most tethering and hotspot apps but there are some ways to get around this. Most ways to avoid purchasing the tethering plan require root. However, this one does not. After a lot of searching I finally found a solution. The only con of this is that it does not support hotspot, only USB tethering. It is compatible with Mac OS, Windows OS, and Ubuntu OS. I am still searching for an update that will allow this to work with Chrome OS as I just purchased a Google Chromebook. This is a great feature while you are on the go, or do not have an internet connection at home.
The first step to the process is to download the Android app from the google Play Store. It is called ClockworkMod Tether. The app is free for 14 days. Once the 14 days is up, you will be able to purchase the full edition for $4.99. The upgrade is in app only, so you must download the free version first. Why wouldn't you anyways?
Once you have downloaded the app, as you will notice when you open it, you will need to download the app for your computer. It will ask you to open the app on your computer to get started. There is an app as well as a driver that is needed for this. In order to get the driver, you will need to visit clockworkmod.com. You can visit the site from your computer or your phone, which is convenient if you don't already have internet access. You will then need to click tether drivers at the top of the screen. It will take you to a list of makes of phones such as Motorola, Samsung, etc. Obviously, being the Samsung Galaxy s III, you are going to click the samsung drivers link. After it is downloaded, if you are using your computer, simply open the file and install it. If you have downloaded it to your SIII, you will need to connect your phone to your computer, find the file in the folder clockworkmod, and install it.
After everything is installed, you can open the app in your phone and turn on the tethering. After you have done this, open the program (which should also be installes from the clockworkmod folder) and click start. It will configure and it should say connected after a few seconds. Then, open your browser and you should be online!
I just discovered this and so far it is working GREAT! I got booted off once, not really sure what happened. But I turned off the tethering through the app first, then through the computer and restarted it all again and all is good. Hope this helps everyone looking for the answer! I will post again when I discover a way to use hotspot for free with no root.

Well, I just started using it, so if it happens to you, then it is going to happen to me too.
After trying this I got a message from tmobile. With un 10 minutes
Free T-Mobile Msg: To prevent future Smartphone Mobile HotSpot (Tethering) access from being blocked, add Smartphone Mobile HotSpot service here.

Man that hot spot shield app worked like a charm
As you all know there is no WiFi Direct option available in Xperia S, so I found an alternative to it which is an app called Super Beam which gives the same speed as WiFi Direct and is actually a lot simpler to use than WiFi Direct!
If WiFi Direct is not available, it uses the phone's hotspot to create a WiFi network to which the other device connects for receiving files.
But the best part is how simple and fast it is to use. I sent a file around 400mb in about 5 mins! Bluetooth is nowhere near to that!
There is also no need for pairing devices like WiFi Direct, the app does all this by itself using QR Codes.
Only disadvantage is that both phones need to have the app installed.
I really recommend this to all Xperia S users, since we do not have WiFi Direct option in our phones.

Yes all those apps are good too. And there are many more apps on the Play Store that give this functionality, but the reason I chose this one was because of its simplicity. You don't want to go through a whole lot of steps every time just to send a file, it should be quick and simple.
So easy... Thank's a lot for information.
Wow, this is a great Application! I searched for something like that. Thanks!

But it needs internet to transfer files ??? Because i tried to transfer using superbeam or fast file transfer, it tries to create a "wifi tethering" and since i don't have internet it fails to transfer files.
If am trying it wrongly, could somebody please help me to use it in right way?
Thanks.

Use file commander or office suite from play store to send files through wifi direct but the receiving party should also have same app installed in his phone

U don't need Internet to transfer file. Update the superbeam -go to settings in app-sending setting -set preferred direct method to "hotshot "-keep hotshot name and hotshot password blank...... Set same Setting in other mobile also......
Just recently acquired a Note 8,long time android user and Xda member here.I notice that when using my device in other places using Wifi,I'm getting a browser FC which doesnt matter what type of browser im using ( Boat,Dolphin, Stock)
But the weird thing is when at home it doesnt do it.Im just streaming regularly.Im on firmware 4.2.2
is this normal? is it because 4.2.2 doesnt support flash anymore?
I wouldn't think that is normal, I have not had that issue when using wifi. Mine works on my home wifi or any other wifi I have connected to. Might want to install LogCat and see if you can find a hint there.
