Android wifi tether for SGH T959v

I've been searching and reading and I can't seem to find which Android wifi tether works best for our phone.
I went to google and it doesn't say galaxy S 4g so I'm not sure which apk download is safe to use on our phone. I know our phone is different from the vibrant.
Does anyone know which version works best on our phone?
What are you using and how do you rate it?
Thank you for your time and input.

I use easy teather But its not in the market anymore. It doesnt allow u to change Nat type setting. it is a real drag cause I got the phone for to use on my xbox360 so I could play online. But also there are various other apps in the market. just search and u will find and dont forget to check what others have to say about the app you intend on downloading. Some suck some dont.

it actually works fantastic. its kinda hidden though so dont be embarrased. Do you know how to find it?

Sorry to shove this question in here but since this seems like the right topic. Is there an app that will allow access to NAT(network address translation) settings? As usual samaung nor t-mobile could be of any help. I was told rooting would get me the access I need to deal with such a matter. Was this b.s. or is there a way?

im not sure of this. ill look into it

I would apreciate it. I have had no luck at all even after rooting and looking in forums and market apps. seems that not many people have looked into. Figured folks would considering how strict the security is. But im a noob so......

How r u getting a moderate Nat when this device is set to a strict Nat type? I can sign in and play some people but as for party,s or game addons I can't access much. Please let me know how your experience is (on xbox live)and what u have done to beat the Nat setting.

Unfortunately your about where I'm at. I can play live on certain games but can't download any content. But it works great for when I watch Netflix, and that's what I use it for.

Yea i was real dissapointed when i found out bout the nat. This was the main reason i got the phone. Hopefully I can find something on this matter that will help people like you and me enjoy Xbox live to the fullest extent.

[Q] Please Help!! :O

I recently Rooted my phone(Huawei Ascend) and I put CM7 on it as well, my phone works fine, but I have this annoying text on my notification pulldown and my lockscreen that says "Roaming Indicator Off" (When I'm Clearly Not Roaming!) My Carrier Name has Disappeared!
I've viewed at least 15 different threads on XDA, Droid forums, android forums, and even the CyanogenMod Forums that were sort of related to my problem but with no success....I'm pretty technology savvy so any help that will point me in the right direction would be truly appreciated. I attached a couple of screenshots of what I have to see daily. Please Help if you know how to either edit the text or just remove it completely cause its annoying and frustrating
Also, I didn't post this question in the thread for my phone because there is no thread for the Huawei Ascend Sadly.
My Phone Stats:
Huawei Ascend
Carrier(MetroPCS, Which is like Cricket)
Android Version 2.3.4
Kernel Version 2.6.29-perf
Mod Version Cm7-Ascend-05142011

Under Mobile Network Settings the Only thing that I have checked off is "Data Enabled",
International Data Roaming, and National Data Roaming are unchecked.
Also, under the National Data Roaming Option there is a System Select Drop-down box that gives me the option to change the "CDMA" Roaming Mode, I have it currently set to "Home", the other two options are Affiliated Networks and Automatic.
Any Suggestions?

Try changing it to automatic, that should do the trick

I changed It to Automatic then I rebooted my phone but it still says "Roaming Indicator Off" :O
Should I Try Switching On "National Data Roaming"? I'm Completely Lost with this one....

Yes, and if that doesn't work, try setting both roaming options on.
Is your phone currently activated on any networks?

Ok, I am currently activated through MetroPCS. I was considering doing as you say, to switch both Roaming options On, but I just did a little research to see if MetroPCS charges for roaming and the article that I read said that MetroPCS Charges for Roaming.
Should I go ahead and switch the options to Roaming?

No, I am in a area with service, everything works fine. So I dont think that I would get charged for Roaming unless I was somewhere where I couldn't get service?

Ok, I switched both Roaming Options on But, Sadly, no Success....
Maybe this is a lost cause?
I have considered attempting to access my phones files through my root and maybe tampering with the Text so that I could either get it to disappear or to say my name or something.....anything but "Roaming Indicator Off"

I turned my roaming settings on but still no success, maybe this is a lost cause?

Ok, so I tried the app that you directed me to but, sadly, still no success. But! I think I might be headed in the right direction! Well at least I think so.....
So I followed the link that you gave me, downloaded the app, nothing, read through the app's thread and tried alternative methods but nothing. But I found that some users who were experiencing difficulties found the solution to be to go into their "framework-res.apk" and to locate the "eri.xml" file and to simply delete it solves their problem and the app works perfectly. Should I try this? (Picture of File)
I also found after actually going into the "eri.xml" file that it says "Roaming Indicator" and "Roaming" in the file. Should I try to just go in and delete the text and replace it with my own?
I've already created a backup so Im just trying anything at this point :/

you should definitely try that.
you shouldnt be worried if you have a backup already since you can restore if anything messes up. but it shouldnt

Ok I tried going in and editing the text as well as just deleting the entire eri.XML file but I get a message saying I don't have the necessary permissions! What program should I be using to make changes to system files on my phone? I thought I could do it in astro manager

I tried viewing the file in the app you sent me but everytime I select it, it brings me to the application install screen because it's a .apk file. I then tried long pressing it and choosing the open with - file editor but it takes me to the encoding of the entire .apk file and it's all in some kind of Asian writing
When I get to the framework-res.apk file what should I be doing so that I can view the files within the application? I was able to view the files in the app through astro file manager but it would not let me make changes to the eri.XML
Sent from my Huawei Ascend using XDA Premium App

If you want to make changes to the file, you are going to have to decompile framework-res.apk and then edit the eri.xml. do you know how to decompile?

No I don't know how to decompile

Did you try to redial it. It does that to me all the time. Have you tried with the Nitrality app? Thats what I use. Im not on CM7 though.

I don't think these special codes are something from Google/Android or they would work on other phones. I think these are Samsung-specific dialer shortcuts so any non Samsung-based ROMs will not have those dialer shortcuts in there.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

super manager and carrier iq

i downloaded super manager to check it out and it lists carrier iq and lots of information about it.
it has an uninstall option and when i click it, it goes to the android uninstall screen with an "uninstall application" OK/CANCEL (both are enabled)
afraid of trying it though as im not very comfortable with the phone yet to have to restore everything if it doesn't work...
anybody want to give it a try?

Good find. But i read somewhere its deeper then an app level

thats why i included the screen shots seems the app is attatched to everything.... but still might uninstall?

Have you tried using "Roam Control" app? There is no setting built in to force the roam feature.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

dude, i just went thru the same exact thing today. i even went totally stock, kernel, recovery and everything, still stuck in roaming.
i spent hours then i did the factory reset code on the dialer ( *#7780# (Factory Reset) ) and it worked again, i was so happy because i was thinking that i have to deal with the bs with sending the phone back or getting a new sim if that was the case. i hope it works for you also.
EDIT: i thought you were stuck roaming, not that u wanted to roam hahhahaha nevermind

I did try and also used the phone info app to see if I was roaming but nothing changes.
Is there any way to update the Prl? To see if a different prl will give me better reception

Go to settings then data usage and hit menu and you can turn roaming on.
