Pardon me if this has been asked a million times over. Looking for an unlocked tw rom that has wifi hot spot working. Looking to jump back in and check battery usage. Thanks.

Just use ODIN to root your phone and install twrp recovery. Then you can leave your current OS alone and get what you want. The wifi apk you can get in the app store called "WiFi Tether- TrevE Mod" works great for the hotspot. You can also get "fqrouter" and it will even let you use your phone as a wifi repeater to extend your wifi range for any other devices (I use this at work a lot, oddly enough.)
Thanks, I'm already running a custom Rom, guess I need a good restore.

I've recently upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S, and the hot spot worked just fine, I'd connect with my laptop, and get internet access. ( Stock ROM )
This time around, on my Galaxy S II, I can get my laptop to connect, but I can't get internet access...
My plan hasn't changed, just the phone.
I'm tempted to try a custom ROM to see if that will help... has anyone else seen anything like this? Thanks!
I tether everyday brother works great.First off are you rooted.If so go in to t.b and freez tether manager.golden after that my friend
From a glaxay better than yours.
Its not rooted, but neither was my regular galaxy S.
You gotta be rooted on this phone to tether for free. They blocked it on this one.

Good to know. I find it odd that I can connect still, it seems like if it were a block, you wouldn't be able to get as far as connecting a device to it. It's also odd that the older galaxy S isn't blocking it.
I'll try it rooted, thanks.
I work at T-Mobile and customers tell me all the time that tethering and hotspot work for them without a plan. Usually it will let them access it for a while and then stop. I think they let you use it at first to see the advantage of using the service and get you hooked so you will add the paid feature.
I just found this but you have to be on the 5 or 10 gb plan www.phonearena.com/news/T-Mobile-qu...ith-free-mobile-hotspot-from-Jan-25th_id26064
Just a quick question..
On a stock / light tweaked (Mr X's ROM) I was able to tether..
However, when I update to other ROm's like Zombie's I am unable to use Tether or Hotspot. (Giving me invalid sim/mobile data not available)
My Telus plan includes tether and would like to use it .. however it seems like I must be on a TELUS only rom to be able to use it??

So long as you freeze tether manager with Titanium you should be fine. Perhaps you aren't able to do it on Zombie's because they didn't remove it from the ROM.

I mean it will launch the service, its technically an ad-hoc hotspot but it blocks certain ports that denies you acces to the WWW. I think all the new phones you have to pay for it or root, which is why the Vibrant didn't need to be rooted for you to use the tether service for free.

Hi guys! I'm back again with more questions..
So, my phone is rooted and running Blazer 3.8.
I started off using the built in Sprint Hotspot, which works wonderfully, but uses up way too much power and gets way too hot while running. So, I decided to go to the Wireless tether app I used on my old EVO.
however, All of the newer versions (beta 3.0 and above) fail to work, period. At all.
The older versions work, however they fail to work when using Encryption of any form. (all of them force me to use WEP and I would like to use WPSK)
Also, i'm unable set it to make itself into a true WiFi network, instead it's an AdHoc network.
How can I fix these issues?
Thanks!
~Saph
The solution is to use the sprint app, not sure what Samsung does to their phones...

There must be some way to get the WiFi tether app to work properly, right?
Sprint hotspot drains power, even while plugged into the wall..

Check to make sure you don't have one of those "Green" cables. (The stock Samsung cable is one of those I believe).
You might want to re-flash the rom too, I use this almost daily and see very little power drain.

That sounds pretty normal to me. Anyway, back when I was stock rooted the wireless tether app didn't work for me either. I ended up using an application called OpenGarden which worked pretty well. Now that I'm on Blazer, I use the Sprint Hotspot app and it doesn't drain a tremendous amount of power.
Hey, I'm not sure I want to start using roms because I think stock is pretty good on this phone. And I hate the constant flashing. How do I use wifi hot spot if I am rooted (which I am)... if I remember correctly, if youre rooted, you can use the wifi hotspot but its not letting me do it without paying... can someone help me out... thanks.

Do a search on this forum and you'll find a few threads about tethering and workarounds.
Hello Guys,
I am having WIFI Tether issues with any custom AOSP or AOKP rom. Installing a touchwiz related rom somehow resolves the tethering issues.
I've trying all the usual steps before installing a custom rom including wiping everything, factory reset and all that good stuff. But the native tether wont work on these roms. I tried the wifi tether apps in the app store but no success there.
However, what really gets to my nerves is that my daily driver is 4.1.2 liquid smooth rc7 version of the rom which i assume is based on aosp does allow wifi tether but only through the app in the app store. The native app continues to fail.
Someone once told me to install the wifi driver for the phone. Is that possible? If so how? By the way i am running a rogers s3 which is the at&t equivalent in US.
Also, just so you guys know, my other devices do pick up the wireless set up by my phone's tether, but it wont connect to it. password or not, it takes forever to connect and eventually fails.
Any advice?

If you carrier is Rogers, you need to make some mods to tether 4G (H+, 3G will work w/o mods). There's a post about it somewhere in Task's AOKP thread, which I believe a search should find it. Google can also help.
Same issue here, Rogers LTE tethering didn't work and tried to google and find the mods as posted.
couldn't find the mods.
Please advise.

Wow!!
Thank you sooooo soooo much. I spent hours trying to figure a way out to get the tethering to fix. This worked out super easily. You've honestly saved me hours i wouldve spent.
Thank you for persisting with the solution for us.
Cheers.
Yeah, Thanks for the link too
However I am not able to get LTE tethering speed
I am able to get LTE speed (10mbps+) on my S3, however the device that's using the tethering only able to get (~1mbps)
any idea?

It's dependent of the device receiving it. If it's too old or it's drivers are too old it won't get the speed it should. Also tethering shares the connection, therefor, you won't get full speed on the receiving device.
Could be so many things actually that's it's hard to troubleshoot.
Thanks for the quick reply,
However, I am using CM10.1 latest Nightlies 04/26.

I think you got me wrong.
Your S3 doesn't really matter here as much as the device receiving the connection.

Like I said, it's dependent of so many things. First off, what device it receiving it? Is that device old? Are it's drivers up to date? Does it have a good reception/connectivity?
Did you try tethering to other devices?

I have the stock i317 running on the T-mobile network and was trying to tether but phone looks for at&t network then denies me the request, even through WiFi. Is there a way too fix this so I can tether my son's tab 3 to it? Any help foxing is appreciated.

I have the exact same phone on T-mobile as well. You may have to root to bypass tethering provision. Mine works fine, but I've been rooted from day one :/
Surely there's another option but off the top of my head I don't have another solution.

I'll have to give it a try, I hadn't rooted it because T-Mobile insured it even though it wasn't from them. I clicked your thanks button.
Thanks @Devil-Dog I hit yours also.
And you can always unroot if you need to claim insurance (believe me I've been there).

I wouldn't have to change to a Rom would I? I like having the official KK stock rom
No you shouldn't have to, just disable tethering provision, I believe. It's been a long time since I was fully stock, but I'm pretty sure that's what I did. However, if that doesn't work the way you want it to, there are a lot of fully stock roms that are just slightly tweaked to allow things like tethering, faster wifi, & ad blocking. Try the first route first though.

Thanks again, looks like I'll be doing some fiddling around after I finish my psychology homework
Edit: you can disable it with rom toolbox or titanium backup. That's why you'd have to root, so you can access and freeze system files

Good luck! I know I can't live without tethering too. I've got 2 kids who each have their own tablets & they gotta be able to play on them when we're away from home... so no matter what rom I'm on I must get tethering enabled. I understand on that one!
On my Stock 4.4.2 i317 I just rooted it then installed Xposed Framework installer then download the Motoxtether module installed it via Xposed Framework and then installed "Tether it " from Play Store and tether works great
