Coming from the Palm Pre I used to use a Preware app that allowed me to tether my phone. Is there such an app for the S3? Any recommendations?
Get rooted and it's easy. Most custom ROMS have it built in. For an app I used the "Wi-Fi tether for root users" app for years. When I went to the GS3 I couldn't get it to work. I could see it with my laptop and connect but I got no data transfer. However I'm now running the M.O.A.R. Rom now and it's built in, I just hit it from my pull down menu. Works great!

There are bluetooth tether apps that work fine without root. And usb hardwire tethers also.
Also zoom made a usb wifi battery operated router you can run their Android app with to share your phones connection. And it charges your phone at the same time.

While preparing to storm chase last night I started to wonder if there was a way to use my EVO to send GPS coordinates to my radar software on my laptop. Has anyone done something similar to this? I've looked at apps that were supposedly suppose to do this in the past, but was not able to get them to work.
Just wanted to know if anyone else had any experience doing this. I already use wireless tethering for the internet connection now, but it would be great if I could just bring the laptop and phone and have it all covered.
Also, as a side note, I have noticed a handful of apps that will send the data via Bluetooth, but I do not have Bluetooth available on my laptop, so I would prefer to just be able to transmit via USB. I may just have to break down and buy a bluetooth module for my laptop.
As of right now it seems that this isn't possible. Someone else with a Droid incredible wanted to do the exact same thing. It seems that gps module in the phone isn't capable of sending anything via USB. Maybe Bluetooth would actually work! Here's the read.

I have finally rooted my One V CDMA Virgin phone. I know it is rooted cause the SU request goes through and says "granted"..
I am trying a couple tethering apps, open garden, WiFi Tether, etc. All of them fail. Thankfully WiFi Tether has a log to show.

Did Virgin really gimp the stock rom? If so what is the best rom to go with? Everyone I see something is not working like bluetooth or camcorder (CM9 or CM10).
I really need help, I have done iphones and ipads all day. Even unlocked my nexus 7. I really want tethering to work via bluetooth or wifi. Want my sexy JB girl to tell me driving directions! LOL. On the One V it sounds like she has a cold, or has multiple personalities (LOL it changes TTS voice randomly sometimes).
Thank you!
*Update: FoxFi works with Bluetooth but not Wifi. Which sucks cause its a VPN connection and for some reason Google Now does not like that.
I'm surprised by the lack of replies. It looks like we have to find a stable non-stock rom to flash to in order to get tethering. I have the EXACT same problem on my girlfriends phone.
This is really bizarre to me...when I'm on 4G, it randomly hangs up if and seemingly only if I have μTorrent running while also having AndChat connected to a server (4G icon will stay lit showing data transfer despite there being none, and apps will take their sweet time to timeout instead of giving "no network connection" errors). Toggling airplane mode on/off gets my connection back, but the same thing happens after 15-30mins. μTorrent on its own seems to work fine and I can use other programs at the same time (e.g. youtube) without issues...just not irc.
It's not really a big deal, I'm just curious what would cause it. Currently running GB27 kernel/modem.

Any torrent app uses a huge amount of bandwidth. It will hog most if it and disable most apps from connecting correctly.

Yep... Basically do everything you need to do before you start downloading torrents.

Hey guys the title sorta explains it all, but I am it able to get 4gLTE it only shows 4g. I wondered if it was because of all the roms I flashed so I reverted back to stock using the method I found here. I had stock rom and stock recovery and all. Got the ota and everything went well but I still only show 4g. Any ideas?
Are you running xposed by any chance? I had the same issue a couple weeks ago, but it seemed the problem was due to the smart radio feature in the xposed module gravity box.
Otherwise, perhaps you have some other kind of smart radio working that you weren't aware of.
I'm not sure if I actually got to the root of the problem, but it's working for me now.

I'm not too familiar with those modules, but to check, you could just disable those one by one and see if lte comes back.
Alternatively, the problem could be with your SIM card. If you have someone else with an att phone, you could swap the SIM with them and determine if it's your phone or the card.

Hey all.
I've recently got internet problems here and I've decided to use my phone as a modem, like I've been doing in the past with previous phones.
However, now I got a laptop with Win 10 and an LG G3 phone, and is giving me quite a headache.
Yes, I already uncovered developing options.
No, I have not rooted my phone ((should I?))
Everything runs smoothly until the last part of the installation when this happens:

}
Ironically, I can open my phone via file explorer no problem, and transfer files back and forth to the internal & SD card folders.
I even transferred the .apk for the PDAnet installation to the phone and installed it there manually... but every time I enable the USB mode it crashes miserably and I have to restart.
Any suggestions? advice?
Many thanks in advance.

You don't need pdanet. Delete it completely, reboot, connect usb, enable usb tethering, let win10 install stock drivers. That's all.
i could do that.
but then sprint will charge me for tethering.
