Just got my Galaxy S3 today and upgraded from mytouch 4g, im on t-mobile's 4g prepaid plan with unlimted everything (5gig 4g data). on my mytouch i didnt need to pay for tethering service but now im trying to connect my itouch to my wifi hotspot on the s3 and it doesnt work.....would anyone happen to know a workaround or fix for this??
p.s. im not paying tmobile for tethering service
Thanks all
Its working for me. I thought the 5GB plan included the T-Mobile HotSpot app, the guy at the store this morning offered me a 2GB plan for $20 or a $35 5GB plan with tethering.
Thinking you probably need root.

I do have the app it's just that when I turn it on and connect with another device it redirects to a page that tells me I need to add the service from T-Mobile...I have been skeptical about rooting as I've never done it before, can anyone confirm that this will solve my problem??

That sucks. More than likely requires root. Im sure there is a work around.. Thats a big option for me when i take my Transformer prime out and about..

i know right...guess ill just wait for an easy root guide to surface, i only use it for streaming music in my car from my itouch (got a killer system ) ..off topic; are there any adverse affects to rooting, besides voiding warranty, like will i still be able to access play store and download/use all apps like usual?
Try making a new apn using epc.tmobile.com and name it whatever

Well I just rooted my S3 and I still have no free wi-fi tether SUCKS!

If you have root, simply download this apk and install it to your rooted Galaxy s3. Once its installed, go to the settings in the app and select "generic ics-profile".
Tethering will now work. Please remember to click the thanks button :good:

To get wifi-tethering working without T-Mobile's silly fee, try my method listed earlier in this thread. It requires root, but works!

This worked for me. I had downloaded the wifi tether w/ root, but I couldn't get it to work off the bat. The missing thing was changing the profile to "generic ics-profile". Using a stock rooted Tmobile SGS3 T999.

You have to change your user agent on the PC side. I reccomend Firefox with the add on called "user agent switcher". No matter what don't use internet explorer, immediate giveaway.
Here's my current one as an example:
Mozilla/5.0 Linux U Android 4.0.4 en-us Galaxy Nexus Build/IMM76I CyanogenMod-9 AppleWebKit/534.30 KHTML, like Gecko Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30
Here an example of what will get ur ass redirected to the tmo up sell page:
IE 7 ? Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)2011-10-16 20:20:09
Hope this helps

If all else fails you could also use PdaNet and use the "hide tether usage" option.
Try using Firefox. Works for me even when Chrome redirects.
I rooted so I can tether. Wifi tether is not working for me. Barncle and foxfi are not for my carier play store says. What app are you guys using to tether?

I rooted and expected to use Wifi Tether using my stock ROM like I did with my GSII but it kept erroring when activating the wifi.. I'm not entirely sure how it works or if it would work for others but I downloaded Power Toggles on the appstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc specifically for an NFC toggle (which was worthless as it only opened the settings menu) but I happened to try out the Hotspot toggle and I noticed it just skips past the verification step and turns on the hotspot. I haven't actually tested it out yet but I did notice the AP it broadcasted showed up on my friends phone.

Use ES File Explorer, the newest one. Go to the sidebar, then the Tools menu, then Net Manager. I'm using the random APN. Go to your computer, wireles networks, click the ssid from ES File Explorer and and put in the password. Done.
Im having the same issue and tried the treve modded version with busybox installed... im prolly just missing a setting but any help would be appreciated!

I'm on AT&T stock and not rooted. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan (yes, likely throttled at some point).
I just found out an app I've had for years on android allows me to hotspot my Note 2 and my Bro's SG S4. Both are stock and NOT rooted.
The app is ES File Explorer. Look in Tools / Net Manager / Create Hot Spot
This made my day. No root or ROM. Just a free app I've used for years who's new feature rocks my world. I hope that helps.
Edit ... Hah, A.Noob beat me to it!:thumbup:
Use settings at the bottom to name an SSID and password of your choosing.

The 4.3 upgrade killed FoxFi, unfortunately.. For anyone wanting to get free wifi tethering back on their S3 after the 4.3 update, I can confirm that this mod works. Better yet, I can confirm that you can root, apply this mod, unroot, and still use Mobile Iron for work email, etc..

Thoughts some might find this info handy.. You can see my trials and tribulations getting this setup, but now I have full, native hotspot support with no need for FoxFi!

I've been with Verizon for long time , I used to tether all the time , no extra charges. I think it became illegal to charge for WiFi hotspot .
I would check into it because you should be OK

Here's a preemptive answer to a question that's been asked countless times about this ROM- "How do I change the battery icon?"
Assuming you installed OGBatteryMod, tap on the battery icon in your status bar 3 times and you'll be presented with a list of many icons and can make your selection there.

I have been tethering for a long time and always had worked without a problem so here is the thing...
I have Nationwide 4G unlimited data plan but it doesn't allow me to tether by default so on my old phone Note II when I rooted and installed another ROM the tethering was fixed.. I don't know how.. yes yes I know that I have to switch Us.Agent.... I do switched just like I always did but it's just not working and by not working I mean it takes me to the T-Mobile page

OK try this. If you are using xposed and modules, you can use wanam and click on system you will then see an option for tethering provision. Disable it and reboot then try again. Let me know if it works.

OK. Have you ever tried treve mod? I can walk you through the setup that works for me. I'm going to look into VPN apps that would resolve the issue. I also need to know which browsers you have tried so we can try to find one that works for you after changing user agent.

Treve mod has a native framework tether option but you would still have to use the app to tether. I will look into it first thing in the morning. There's really no reason for it not to work right after you flash the ROM. I use treve mod but the native method also works. The only difference between your plan and mine is that I have true unlimited. That means that I have support for 2gigs of hotspot and unlimited data. The modded tethering provision.apk from TheSickness is working right out of the box for me. I can use the hotspot as much as I need.
BTW. On chrome you can change your user agent under developer tools. Look here http://www.technipages.com/google-chrome-change-user-agent-string

Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
This is what I would try next if I was having your problem. I would save the tethering provision.apk from v4 to my SD card. Then I would flash v8 again and once it boots up I would replace the v8 tethering provision.apk with v4 and set permissions to rw- r-- r--. It's definitely worth a try. I wouldn't be surprised if it works!

OK. Download es file manager if you don't already have it and give it root access. Go to system/app and copy the tethering provision.apk and paste it somewhere where it will be easy for you to find it. Like the download folder. Then flash v8 and open es file manager go to system/app again and delete tethering provision.apk. now go to wherever you saved the v4 apk and copy it then paste it in system/app. Long press on the apk and click on properties. Then just change permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot. You should be able to tether now.

That has to work for you for sure! All you are doing is replacing the bad apk with the working one. Make sense?

If you have WiFi problems this are ktoonzes recommendations:
To make wifi work when it wont turn on or connect, change this in the build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true TO ro.securestorage.support=false
