Hi all,
I just came from a CM11 M9 on a Verizon SGS3. I am at a point in my life where the I don't need to have a custom ROM anymore (must be getting old). However, the biggest feature I am missing is the automatic profile switching via WIFI and NFC. Does anyone have any recommendations on an app that does exactly what CM did?

My wife's just got a tablet so wants to get it connected via her Wildfire.
We tried turning it on last night but it's not working properly - the hotspot functionality itself seems be enabled properly, but in Wireless and Networks, the text under the 'Mobile network' option keeps cycling between 'Connected' and 'Use phone for data connection...'.
The text 'Wi-Fi hotspot active' keeps appearing and disappearing from the notification area.
We appear to be able to successfully connect the tablet via wifi to the Wildfire but there's no internet access.
The handset is completely stock and unbranded (Froyo, build 2.22.405.1). Internet access in general is fine and my wife's data plan specifically allows tethering (GiffGaff UK, using a Gigabag).
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a way around this? Am willing to start rooting and flashing other ROMs if it will solve the problem.
for tethering try the Barnacle wifi tethter app from market - works for me
I'll give that a try when I get home and report back here.
Have you ever tried it using the in-built functionality and either found it to work or not? Considering I've not had problems with my own handsets (previously a Desire, now a Sensation) it seems odd that I can't get it to work on my wife's Wildfire.
I used the built in one on stock rom with no problems at all on 2 wildfires, I used to use all mine then leech from the girlfriends. Could it be a problem with her apn setting? Maybe call customer service and check its set correctly for tethering.
Personally I'd tell her its broke though and flash it like I did the girlfriends purely because I'm a flashaholic!!

Just in case anyone was wondering (or for the benefit of future searchers)... I finally got the Hotspot working after I installed a custom ROM (DK Custom Froyo v4.7 - I didn't want anything too different to Stock).
Custom kernels etc. didn't work (in fact, the one I tried destabilised the handset), neither did other options such as Barnacle on the stock ROM.
Thanks everyone for trying.
So I have a T-Mo G S3 I purchased unlocked and have been using on Moblicity in Canada with no troubles. I manually checked for updates and got the JB OTA last week. Not sure when, but probably with that update wifi tether has stopped working. If I touch the option it just jumps back to "off", no error or explanation. This is on Moblicity. Moblicity says they have done nothing to disable it, but they won't give me any support to get it working either. I'd understand T-Mo removing this option on their network if they no longer have plans that support it, but disabling it entirely???!!! WTF??!
So, now I wonder. Any chance simply rooting and finding an simple hack will work? Or am I looking at alternative ROMs? The stock hotspot was always flakey, so perhaps an alternative hack/utility will be better anyway.
And if I'm looking to go to a custom ROM, which ones will give me all or most of the factory functionality? This is my daily driver and I need it work 100%. Are any other CM10/JB ROMs fully working? Or will I have to go back to a CM9/ICS ROM to get a stable and fully functional experience. Or perhaps I'd be better off with a Samsung based ROM?? I've done some reading, but I'm completely new to the ROMs for this phone and there are many, so any advice is appreciated.
Tethering would have to fail just as I got a new tablet.
I did get some network settings, perhaps APN settings I can't recall, pushed to my phone by Mobilicity just after I got the JB update. I just blindly accepted them.
Perhaps it's just an APN, thing...
Hey guys! I'm new to the Galaxy Nexus and I'm concerned with the Wifi Tethering app. I don't know if it's related to the Galaxy Nexus itself, or if its my network here where I live but I'm just seeing if anyone else is having any issues? I'm currently running 4.1.1 STOCK rooted. What are you guys using as far as apps? I used to have a T-bolt with the same Wifi Tether app and it rarely ever just stopped working. It says I'm connected but it just doesn't load any pages or work at all. Is there any solutions to this? I've read that I'm supposed to use the Native app (portable hotspot) but it doesn't work since I'm not subscribed. I really actually like the stock rom and it's feel and I don't want to have to flash a custom ROM. I will, IF I have to but I prefer to stay stock and stable. Any help would be great!
Every device I get, needs to be used at its fullest capabilities. With the problems of T-Mo removing options like tethering and/or bluetooth tethering completely from our devices, pisses me off.
Also, I upgraded to 4.4.2 (on my Note3) but was unaware by doing so, I would lose functionality that I wanted.
I have tried most of the roms here but none have the native bluetooth tethering. Although there are alternatives to tethering to your watch, most options are too complicated or too my steps just to activate.
So, for those that want FULL functionality on their Phone and Watch and are tired of searching which rom works, try this rom out:

Works great, no problems at all and solves my problem
I am running: 4.4.2
Baseband- NB4
Kernel- CivZ-Snapkat
Also, I am a T-Mo customer, no problems with signals, wifi, etc.
Hope it helps someone out.
I installed CM12.1 on my d851 and I cannot disconnect calls. I tap the red button to hang up and the phone app hangs on "hanging up" but does not actually disconnect. Has anyone successfully gotten the CM12.1 dialer to work on the T-Mobile G3?
I have the same issue when I install other custom roms based on CM.
Any help would be appreciated.
Re: dialer will not hang up
Hi,
Did you ever work this out as I'm also having issues with CM
12.1 not hanging up on galaxy s3 Verizon.
Thanks
David
Having the same issue as well 2 i605 on cm 12.1 just switched from rip off VZW to T-Mobile and this bug started. Phones worked fine on Verizon... Can someone please get this fixed?
i don't have a solution for cm12.1 but maybe if i share the (quick) solution that was used in cm11, some smart person here can figure it out--hopefully, once and for all.
in cm11, all you had to do was add a single character to a field in build.prop, which was something like:
ro.telephony.ril.v3=newDriverCall
to get:
ro.telephony.ril.v3=newDriverCallU
in cm12.1, the rom is presumably already shipped with the correct settings:
ro.telephony.ril.config=newDriverCallU,newDialCode
but does not work (for those of us using sph-720, especially). someone who understands android can maybe port the old (and simple) fix to the new one(?)
also, i appreciate the work guys do to get us these builds, but it'd be nice not to reintroduce big issues like these as it basically forces a potential user not use the rom, which then wastes the hard work of porting it to a particular device in the first place. i can live without data since i use wifi heavily, but not being able to receive calls is a no-no.
