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?

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.

Found an app that looks promising its called barnacle its on the market. And it allows Nat manipulation or something to that effect. I'm messing around with it but no luck so far.

free Mobile Hotspot ending on 15th.. best alternatives?

Few more days now and the mobile hotspost will end.. now my question is. what is the best tethering?
i am rooted and using dasbamf 1.6.3
is there any way to patch the mobile hotspot? i have the barnacle and i preferred the native tethering on TB.

Wireless tether for root users... Perhaps

It would be better to just pay for it..... Unauthorized tether is the #1 reason for locked bootloaders and such IMHO.

LMFAO!!!! Seriously! Wow. The hardware manufacturers that create locked bootloaders could care less about wireless tethering. The dumb pipe cell companies are the only ones that care about it. The locked bootloaders are so you cant screw with their bloated overlay. IMO.

"wireless tether"
I think its no longer on the market. Recently got removed. If u PM me I will send it to you in an email though

You can just download it from their site here.

As long as you're rooted you can install it from there by going to the download tab and downloading 2.0.7 or any of the stable build.

Should be available from the market if you turn on airplane mode, then re-enable WiFi. It is the wireless carriers that are causing gathering apps to be filtered from the market, this should work around it, though.

Depends on what you are doing. Overall if you are just tethering to your computer PDAnet is your best bet. Xbox or PS3 (Ha if they ever get their network back) I would stay with Wireless Tether for root users.

Note that all of the info is for 3g only phones and may or may not work 100% on ours.

They will be charging for the wireless hotspot app for sure. Does anyone know for sure if wired tether will remain free? I have heard "opinions", but nothing credible. VZ wouldn't tell me either.

Nope. All tethering will be paid unless you root to get around it.

If that's the case, has anyone been able to get wired tether (better anyway, data remains active on the device) to work? The htc tethering app seems to interfere.
Wireless tether works fine.

When I used "wireless tether for root users" my data was still active? I was able to make calls and reply to an email while being connected with a laptop.
I don't use it very often which is why I can't justify the extra cost per month. I had purchased "tether" while it was 50% for my blackberry for the same reason. They have that for android now to so that is an option for people.

If 4g speed can stay the same for the other tethering device. you can almost cancel internet at home, unless you play games

Is that like a cordless extension cord?

This is the sort of logic that will cause unlimited data plans to skyrocket in price or even be abandoned.

[Q] Tetheringguard.apk

Any ideas what it does? It runs as a service com.htc.tetheringguard
Just installed the OTA update and noticed this. If you stop the service it doesnt reload unless you open the mobile hotspot app. Think the free hotspot block can be removed by removing the service? That seems way too easy...

It certainly does seem too easy. Brilliant solution if it works though.
Easy test, turn it off, try to use another tethering app.

I am debating between doing and not doing the update because I like the free WiFi hotspot; I can be cheap
Can someone with the update try it?

I tried freezing it with titanium backup Pro, but it just rendered the mobile hotspot inoperable.

4G as long as you have 4G available. If you use this version, make sure you select the option in settings for HTC related to the LAN.

Wireless tether vs WiFi tether

So I did a quick search (phone searching is b never as good as on a computer) and didn't find much so I thought I'd ask... what's the difference between the two apps wireless tether and WiFi tether and which one works better on our phone?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

If you root your phone, you can use the built-in hotspot application.

In regards to the two apps above, WiFi Tether worked very well for me before I patched the above.

Only difference that I can tell is Wireless tether for Root Users doesn't work and Wifi Tether for Root Users does. They both look the same but the latter has an additional option to change device profile and switching that to Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) allows it to work.

Use the built in tether, they don't charge anymore, no app needed

They don't charge for tiered/share data plans... Speculation is they do charge for unlimited users.
We don't know what the op is on.

I'm on unlimited and can't use the native tethering. It just gives the the same pop up window with a number to call to purchase it. Just sharing this as confirmation.....I worked around it.

tank you...nice post

If I'm not mistaken from a convo with Mr Verizon Store Guy, they stopped charging for tethering because of the rediculous amount of workarounds for close to every device that render their paid service pointless.
However, I heard somewhere online theres a clause for abusing the network in you end user contract associated with fees, but I'm not sure and didn't look into it too much. I don't use it too much and am not worried about my limits (cue wifi), so it'd prolly be wise to check yourself.
Long story short: search around as there are a number of ways as previously outlined. But should you choose to go bananas and over indulge in torrents or roms via 3g/4g, be aware of a potential bill the size of congressional legislation. Tether responsibly as bandwidth is shared by all network users. Don't be THAT guy

[Q] How to tether without extra charges or root?

Hello All. I've searched the forum and have seen many threads about tethering, but I can't find the answer to my specific question...or maybe I'm blind and am just missing it, in which case, I apologize for posting something that has already been answered.
Anyway, I want to tether with my verizon S3 but of course I don't want to pay extra for data I pay for already, nor do I want to root my device, at least not yet. I've heard many things that verizon can't charge for tethering if you have a tiered plan, but when I try to use the built in mobile hotspot it says I am not subscribed and to call verizon. Am I missing something? Didn't there used to be a built in wifi tethering functionality into android?
More specifically, I want to tether my Nexus 10.

Have you tried clockworkmod tether? Never used it but he does great work and it doesn't require root.

Foxfi from the market.

I have not. Does that need root? I assume it is a paid app. As long as the price is reasonable I don't mind. I'd prefer a free app though.

I'd prefer to not root my phone right now. Also, I used to use FoxFi on my Bionic, yes I owned one of those, and it worked great. So I tried it on the S3 (no root) and I couldn't get the Nexus 10 to find the tethered wifi network I set up.

neither require root. clockwork does require to install a program on your comp, might not work for you. check out foxfi.

Yeah problem with CWM tether is that I don't want it for the computer...want it for the Nexus 10 tablet. And FoxFi's network it creates can't be found by the Nexus 10 for some reason.

Yea Foxfi is no root need bro. Just keep playing with it I have had to mess around a few times with settings but always got it. I my first recommendation is keep security off for your first connection then after you connect try it with security.
I use it on my phone and my wife uses it on here locked down tiger than the Whitehouse razor.
