Have same problem, but I think its related to the phone switching off the wifi so it can connect via the lousy cell signal.

Not for me
On a side note my iPad 3 freezes when I have like 3 tabs from dorkly
times like this I wonder was the res worth all this misery

I've messed with it all day, it seems to be just Facebook. I really hate the app so this sucks. Phew I thought it was just my phone

[Q] Tethering only works sporadically...?

Hey Peepz,
I rooted my GS3 and installed WiFi tether. Selected the Samsung Galaxy Nexus profile and the general ICS/JB profile.
The problem is that WiFi tether only works sometimes, so I enable it. work with it. turn it off and maybe 2 or 3 hrs later turn it on again - it says "press to stop tethering" but no WiFi hot spot is visible to my devices (iPad, Laptops, etc). Then i turn tether off, on, off, let it sit there, restart the phone and once ever other try (dozens and dozens of trys) it works.
Is there something I am missing? Btw I have two GS3s and the same happens to the other one as well...

Yeah same here. I have to start stop a few times then I see the wifi network.

Have you seen a pattern? I haven't had much time with the phones yet (approx. 2 to 3 days). I tried turning off WiFi before tethering but have not found a solution yet. are there any other apps I should try? is WiFi tether the only one? It seems like thats the one people are using...

Are you running any custom roms? Native tether works perfect for me. Other than that i think the Wi-Fi tether for root users 3.2 beta is the best after that

Try turning your screen off to 10 min instead of 15 seconds. I tried that and it worked for me. Don't know if you guys are using juice defender but that might be an issue as well.

I have it at 1 min, but I'll try that.

Nope I'm using the stock, I just rooted it. That's all. When you say, native what do you mean the tmobile app?. I don't have a tether contract, just regular unlimited data...

Oh okay native as in the one in more settings. I think the T-Mobile app shortcuts to that. But nvm that doesn't play nice if you're stock rooted. Why not run a custom Rom and use it? I don't have a tether plan and it works fine for me
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Same prob. with my Teth.
I got the same problem with my USB tethering. I plug in my CPU, it's working perfectly for 5 minutes, after that, everything stop. Same with my WIFI Hot Spot. Dunno what's the problem ?!? Maybe it will work fine with Jelly B ! Hope it comes fast for videotron.

I haven't tried that one, in fear that t-mo will just say: hey we want money!
I will try the WiFi tether beta when I have the chance... where can I get it? Market?

It's not in the market. I'll try to find a link. You can Google it.

I was asking the guy i quoted
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Mine works, however after a few minutes, the data craps out. Any suggestions? I'm using the auto profile. If I leave it for a few hours, turn it back on, then it usually works again for a few minutes. Is this something Wind is doing to stop you from using lots of data? I have an unlimited plan.

Do you mine sharing your settings. If I use wifi tether straight out of the box, default everything I'm getting redirected to the Tmob page which says my cost will be $14.95 per. When I change profiles to say Generic Ics/JB and change to channel 6 I still connected to the phone but I get no "internet connection". I've checked ipconfig and of course it shows I've connected to the phone and dhcp has assign me an ip, 192.168. something but I got nothing. Right now I'm fu***ed. I so wanted to call comcast and tell them... well you know!
I still may just pay the $14.95 to Tmob instead of $70 to Comcastm makes sense. Before tmob shut me down I was getting 8-10 down and 1-1.5 up on my lappy thru the GS3!
Any tips or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

If you get the upsell page then change the user agents. What Rom are you using... why don't you use native tethering? When it says no internet connection... just wait awhile until it reconnects you should get internet after that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I'm using cm10 nightly and I did use the hotspot option thru the phone to test the speed. I knew Tmob would get wise and block me which they did hence the sell thru page. So I down loaded Wifi Tethering and installed but wasn't too sure about the setting? I also installed the user agent pluggin for Chrome. Then I selected "Chrome on Windows" as my common user agent and here we are.

Clear on s3

Hi guys. Just some interesting things things i found out about the s3. You can put it in airplane mode and turn on the bluetooth wifi connection and use it with a clear wifi port. And use groovelite and make calls.

Thank you! I just assumed you couldn't have some radios on and others in airplane mode. I get horrible cell coverage, so this should save me a lot of battery to only turn that off.

@westkhalifa13 I had the same problem with my wifi dropping randomly until I turned off the "Auto switch networks" setting under wifi advanced settings. Haven't had the problem since! I assume with auto switch turned on the phone drops wifi to switch to the faster 4g/LTE.

My next device will be a GPE if it can at all be arranged. Meaning hardware better than the Note III (pen I don't care) and at least a 5.5" screen. Hopefully when the Note
IV launches, one of its competitors will do a Play Edition.

I kept getting random reboots. Turns out it was a defective phone since I haven't gotten a single reboot since I received the replacement and I've been running the same exact apps. But then again. my phone is completely stock.

Mobile connection/mhl-hdmi adapter issue

I have the Samsung OEM mhl-hdmi adapter, and when I connect it to my TV my mobile network turns off. Like an "x" showing near my bars. Running slesh's 4.3 sts 1.2 odex rom. But I noticed it on jellybomb

Yeah I have my number linked up to my note 8.0. But when I don't have my tablet on me, it can be a pain. Not as bad as my old evo 4g, there was no way to keep text or calls in the background when connected to hdmi, interrupted all movies lol

Moved to Q&A.

I believe its the adapter not so much the phone. I have a third party adapter and when I first got it I would lose reception. Now I actually get reception and dont even use wifi to stream movies or shows..
