Yes, I've had that too while I was running Slim. Have you tried Aokp rom? I usually use wifi tether from play store works good.

Hmmm.. that's weird. Try using Wifi Tether For Root Users, its just as good as using the baked in wifi hot spot.

If wifi tether gives you some kind of error, follow this:
1. Turn off Wifi Tether, if its running.
2. Go to setting -> Device-Profile & check "Generic ICS.
3. While in setting go to -> Setup-Method & check WEXT (ad-hoc)
4. Your good to go.

Crappy signals?

I finally got a rom that I like, its fast and stable but now my wifi is crappy. My wifi shuts off out of nowhere then comes on for a while then goes away again. Is there a tweak I could flash? Or should i use a new kernal?

you can also search for wifi problems.
you can also factory reset, wipe everything esp data and reflash if nothing works.

Many ways. I think the common link is the wifi config file. I usually just delete and force a new file creation. Too complicated to explain.

How to Unlock Verizon Hotspot after being rooted kernaled and rommed?

I am coming from Sprint and usually after being rooted kernaled rommed you can unlock sprint hotspot so you can teather for free. Is this the same for Verizon or is there a special way it needs to be done?

Download and install that app. Start the app, go to settings. Change device-profile to Samsung Fascinate and setup-method to softap for samsung (master). Change SSID and add encryption if you want. Then use that app to tether and it should work fine.
Thank you very much I will try this out. I will not be charge for this right?

Does the encryption work for you? When I set it up it hangs on authorizing when trying to connect, when I remove encryption it connects fine

Can you send a pic of the encryption options cause I don't see them, and I always have to restart my phone if I want to tether again

I leave encryption off but enable access control. Get notified when a computer or device tries to connect, than I enable access.

I have not had that issue, now or in the past using 3.0 pre 12. Might be because I'm not using the encryption.

Reason I choose not to run encryption is... Using a PC I have no issues with encryption. When trying to tether my nook color
it will not work with encryption enabled. So instead of changing settings everytime I bounced from one unit to another, I simply disabled encryption and rely on access control. Sometimes I have my pc and nook going at same time also.

Wait so it will not work with the generic icons? That is a shame, because the generic icons allow saving of phone numbers to default to Google not the phone. To me this is more valuable than att hot spot. They make me pay for a 3gb LTE plan without offering LTE in my area, I never exceed 1/2 gb on a given month.

Try the wifi tether app available for download on Google code. Set its setting to generic ICS and it'll still let you tether just not through the wifi hotspot app

Wow I'm so sorry! I re-read your OP and realized you're asking something completely different than what I answered.
Try downloading the my Att app or some other att wifi hotspots app that I can't remember the name of right now. Ill have to get back to you tomorrow about the name exactly.

are you getting a error or is the device not showing wifi connection that you are trying to connect t?
No the device I'm trying to connect can see it but won't connect and I get no errors on the apps that I have tryed
Sent from a rooted potato
huh that is a strange one.
Only time that I have seen that was a problem with profiles.
On the app try and use a different ssid (wireless name) that you have never used before and try again.
That seemed to fix it for me in the past.
