Did anyone manage to get tethering to work with the GT-S7560m?
I tried to get ANY tethering to work (Wifi, USB, and Bluetooth) and so far the only one that worked was USB tethering with Foxfi.

PdaNet works great for me. I am on stock, though. Don't know how it works otherwise.
I can get the wired usb tether to work fine but it seems to be slower. Using FoxFi but it seems to mess with my phone. I have NEVER gotten wifi tether to work, irregardless of my phone version or rom, so I was wondering what people have installed on both phone and comp that allows it to work. My wireless card enables ad-hoc so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I just want a simple wifi tether, not a hotspot because i don't want others to use it, that's what FoxFi is for when I have guests. I just want to get wifi tether to work to see if it works how I'm hoping it does. Any help is appreciated
Does your computer support Bluetooth? BLuetooth tethering sounds like it more like what you are looking for. I've honestly never heard of a "WiFi" tether outside of the hotspot usage.
Jellybean 4.1.1
T-Mobile SIM
Kernel 3.0.31 -g6fb96c9
Build JR003C
Rooted using Wug's Root Toolkit v1.5.2
Permanent CWM installation
Running Root Check Basic shows my device does have root access.
1. The network doesn't even show up on any devices with the following programs:
Wireless Tether for Root Users: 3.1 BETA14
Wireless Tether for Root Users: whatever is on the Market right now
OpenGarden
Barnacle
When I click to see the log it says it can't be found.
2. Using the built-in hotspot function means I'm able to see and find the tethering network, but after connecting to it there is never internet access. I ran the built-in hotspot with the other tether programs both installed and uninstalled.
Encryption and Passwords are all set to off for both methods.
EDIT:
I erased everything. The following is on a brand new install of rooted Jellybean. NOTHING else has been installed on it yet other than unlocking and rooting it via Wug's.
Built-in hotspot works. Will this incur tethering charges on T-Mobile?
Barnacle - WIFI: Failed to connect to supplicant: No such file or directory. Stopped unexpectedly! Can't see the
Wireless Tether for Root Users: 3.1 BETA14 - can't see the tether's wifi
Open Garden - right after granting SU permission it crashes. On re-open it says "unable in install... (couldn't catch it before it disappeared). When I go to view the log I get unable to open log file. File doesn't exist!
Have you tried foxfi? Worked when I had T-Mobile. Just moved to verizon and it still works.

FoxFi does not work. Error starting WiFi tether. Please use Bluetooth DUN. This happens both when I have the WiFi already turned on or off.
After uninstalling a host of somewhat recommended VOIP products I got at least the built-in Hotspot and USB Tether features to work: uninstalled AutoAir (always ensures at least one of either 3G or WiFi is on to intercept VOIP calls), Plane Mode Tweaker (allows WiFi to still work in airplane mode), Y5 Battery Saver (automatically connects to known WiFi access points. Turns off WiFi automatically otherwise.
I'm not sure which one of the 3 apps above is the culprit.
But basically: none of the 3rd party tethering apps work.
Only the built-in apps work, and now I'm very concerned that I will be charged for tethering on my T-Mobile prepaid $30/month plan.
EDIT: The built-in WiFi tether works but grinds to a halt when you turn the screen of the phone off. When the screen is on it works better. USB tethering doesn't seem to be affected. I can't get Bluetooth DUN to work because my Win7 computer can't find the necessary drivers for the Nexus.
Don't worry about T-Mo charging you for tethering. If they detect tethering your web browser will display a message linking you to their website. Just don't stream any video or download any obscenely large (300 mb+) files and you should be fine.
I'm in the same boat sort. I can. Get blue tooth tethering to work but not WiFi. Keeps deselecting the enable WiFi in settings automatically. Is this not possible thru verizon even when rooted?

My SGS3 doesn't have the option "Bluetooth Tethering" under Settings/More/Tethering and portable hotspot. I've seen numerous posts/videos saying to simply check that box to get bluetooth tethering working. I want to tether my Note8 via bluetooth to my SGS3 i747m.
Is this option disabled by my carrier (Bell)? If so, with a rooted phone, is there an easy way, on the stock rom, to re-enable it?
Tethering is allowed on my plan, Wifi tethering works fine, but I want bluetooth for the power savings and ability to leave it on all the time with minimal hit to my battery life.
I tried FoxFi, and got bluetooth tethering working that way. However, I found that many apps check for wifi/cellular connectivity, and when there is none (since I'm on bluetooth), they complain about having no Internet access and refuse to work, while other apps that don't check work fine. Is this the case with the built-in bluetooth too, or a side-effect of the FoxFi/PDANet Tablet apps doing dirty tricks to make things work?
I am am on Boost Mobile, Rooted, running flashed ZVC. WiFi Tether will not connect to my PC , it first says " limited connection" then drops completely. I've tried FoXFi and get the same result. I tried it on my POS old Galaxy that I use for Hotspot and it works fine. I had a ZTE Warp on Boost and both WiFi apps work fine as of last Friday. It has to be the phone. Any help on this will be much appreciated. Thanks..:laugh:
