I did that and it only gave me 3 options:
1. USB tethering
2. Bluetooth tethering
3. Help
I don't get the probable hotspot option.

This is section for international GS3
And you seem to have the Sprint version if I interpret your signature right

Hehe, third times a charm? Read the sticky thread under Android Development. Click on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726558 and watch the video! It's step-by-step, so easy to do. Your answer is there, as I've told you three times now, in three separate threads, where you've asked the same exact question three times.

Yes you need to stop Knox for security specific apps.
Go to settings>general>security and check unknown sources , then uncheck verify apps. This is mainly for installing apps.
But since there's no real indication of what you have installed, and whats running. i'd do that first and go from there.
From what the masses say, its a root issue that has been fixed. SO yes, you have to be rooted to get rid of whatever you are trying to do.

Thanks ill do that.

Why dont you just do this? Just a suggestion if your not ready to root. I'm holding off rooting also (for now ) I'm still discovering all the things it will do just stock.

Nexus 7 2013 auto on with power?

Hey guys working on my car install and was looking to have the tablet power on with the car. I'm not sure (and doubt) the fastboot change for the n7 2012 will work for our version... Any ideas on how to set it up for the n7 2013?
Thanks guys!

Ive seen before people have a app and set it to auto turn off the screen when the power for usb goes off and the screen auto unlocks and turns back on when power is restored but thats it.

Edit: nevermind, you want from power off state...tasker won't help you.

Tasker will do this but you have to install the Secure Settings plugin and use the lock device function. I'm going through a round of this myself.

How does Tasker run if the device is off? As in, no power to anything.

It's ok, I did the same thing, that's why I edited it.

Lol yea I was using tasker but I would rather it shutnright off without power and turn back on with the ignition.... So I have no worry about it dying and having to dismantle my dash to turn it back on.
I thought about running a power button but don't want yo rip apart my tablet with no knowledge

Yeah, but you stated you did not want to alter the hardware (rip apart the hardware). There is a teardown video that might make you more comfortable.

So there's no way to do it by software? ... No fastboot way like the first gen nexus 7

There could be, have you tried that method on the new one? I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert so I really don't know. Perhaps if you linked me to the method you speak of I could be of more help.

I haven't tried yet but here you go.

Phone won't root

I've done everything I could to try and root this phone but the last step just isn't working. When I have to put the command to flash the unlock bin it gives me a error message. Any ideas. I've used two different laptops.

Close except you don't need to flash switch bootloaders.
What it basically does is allow you to create Rom "slots" in which you can install multiple roms. On boot you are presented with a screen to either continue booting, or boot into SafeStrap, which is where you can select the slot to boot
