Favorite Tethering Option - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So what is everyone's favorite tethering method? Rooted/unrooted? I honestly haven't had the need to tether with this phone yet, but on my old device I was a fan of WiFi Tether and PdaNet depending upon what the situation called for.

I either use the built in mobile hot spot or foxfi. Of course modded the mobile hot spot so I can use it for free

they cant do anything about it.. although if you do hit 5GB bandwidth, they'll throttle your 3G for that remaining month.
thats about it and you can monitor it via t-mobile.com -- you should be fine as long as you arent using it to download huge files

Moblie ap

Any way we could get mobile ap tethering to work. The native tethering app kinda sucks. It keeps dropping connections. Running the leaked ginger

There is a way to get your computer,laptop,notebook, tab to work with barnacle that program looks like it does all of the stuff you would have to do manually through cmd or what ever your using. Google is very helpful that's how I found out about doing it manually. There are manual directions out on the same forums listed in the link provided.

I found another thread on motorolatriumphhacks.com and it says to change the mtu on the client device but it needs to be rooted and there was just a new software update so I'm waiting till a root is avalible for the new software
. I have cleared the cache partition in my triumph to see but no go.. is the issue because of the mtu being set to high? Or a DNS issuer? Thank you for all your help I really appreciate it guys..

Yep looks like all you need to do it change the mtu to 1472 on the client (I.e. laptop,tap,computer etc.) And you should be good to go.

So the trick is to set the mtu to 1472 or under.. on this page it says how to set MTU on android device..but it needs a root to do so..
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using xda premium
Yeah that's the only work around at this point but it works great. You can also use the pdanet app or easytether. You don't need root to use those only this is you need to use your USB cable to wire tether and they cost money. There alternative options if you don't want to root.
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using XDA App
My program was really nothing more than an extended version of finding/setting the right MTU (for dummies, lol).
You shouldn't see any text when you open it. It should just run.
This is what I did for Barnacle. It may work for others that are limited to google only sites....
open start panel
type cmd
press ctrl+shift then click cmd to open as administratror
copy and paste ---> netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1472 store=persistent
hopefully barnacle tethering works
I use wireless tether for root users on my triumph and I use it to tether Bluetooth pan.

[Q] How do I tether the droid charge with the stock service?

Is there a way to tether the droid charge without using any app just using the regular stock service.

Pay for the extra hot spot service. I don't believe there's another way around it if you don't root and install wireless tether app. 3.0 pre12 is best btw.

you can never go wrong with wireless tether 2.0.7 which requires root...Foxfi is stable for me and doesnt require root...give either one a try
foxfi
i would def go with foxfi app... its the beeeeessssttt in my opinion...
Nop foxfi sucks.. svtp tether hopspot app trumps all.

If you are rooted by now:

Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
I tried them all and have a hard time to decide which one! I guess if it works for you then you should stay with it. One may worked for one but not the others, probably depend on your setup. Example, the none root required, will work great for none rooted users, but it make no diff to us, cause we all rooted here.
I heard there is file such as tethering2036.apk or tethermanager2036.apk and if you delete it will it work is this true? I do not have the phone with me now so I can not check.

[Q] Does Android wifi Tether work?

https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

can anyone confirm if this app works?
if so is it possible stock rooted? Do you need a custom kernel or anything?

What Zandeer said. On the nexus 5 the stock tethering built in is the best and honestly only one you should use.

Exactly, this app currently saves me about $30/month. Wondering if it works and what is needed for it to work
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I need this answer too. Its true I don't want the built in app because then network provider knows I am using tethering. I am on Straight Talk and I use Wifi Tether occasionally when I am outside probably once every few months or so. Appreciate if someone can reply to this.
