[Q] Wi-Fi tethering question... - Samsung Infuse 4G

OK, here it goes.
I have two Infuse phones. One is running 4.1 and the other is on android 4.2. I noticed that probably (it is my guess) due to the merge not being full or complete yet the Wi-Fi tether is not working.
I tried using Foxfi but this app crashes as soon as I enable it. So my question is, has anyone had the same issue or knows a workaround?
I read a lot of posts on the internet regarding this but nothing really related to 4.2 and most of solutions are using an external APP. Should I be just patient and wait for the full merge?
Am I doing to many questions? xD Thanks in advance.

Thetering in 4.2 works fine on my infuse, flash again and do the 3 wipes before and after flash.... Maybe this work for you, maybe not but how knows....

That's exactly what I'm doing right now.
Edit: Don't know what's goin. It says "turning hotspot on", but sits there and never turns it on. :S
I reflashed from scratch twice and this single feature doesn't work, all other things are working perfectly, but the tethering isn't. What's funny is that all over the internet you're going to find similar issues on 4.2, that's why I wonder if it's not related to that not being stable yet on 4.2.

I need to do some testing when I get home, but I think I found the root of my issue.

Q&A thread for ICS roms

Forum to discuss the different roms available for the Xoom since we have more than one now.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned was support for adhoc phone to tablet tethering. I'm using the Eos rom, is there something I can do to make it work or does tthis require drivers that are currently unavailable?
Thanks in advance!
looking for home icon on ics browser
Does anyone know if there is a homepage icon in the new ics browser. It's not in favorites where it used to be nor on the new browser menu.

The Honeycomb Tiamat build has ad-hoc support built in. It basically involves modifying the wpa_supplicant. I didn't test it on build 6 and haven't flashed build 8 yet so I am not sure if they have modified this yet. I am sure they will eventually if they have not yet.
Regarding Zone-ICS-12.19.11-v2.1 and exchange
Howdy,
Just flashed this after wiping Dalvoc an Cache, all apps still available, as expected no cam. or 3g/4g. Question is does anybody have exchange calendar available? Syncs to gmail calendar, exchange contacts and mail sync up, but exchange calendar doesn't show in lost of available calendars. Just wondering if it' a common thing and if there is a fix yet.
Otherwise I'm going to keep running it. Calendar isn't a deal breaker for me and once a cam and mobile data works this will totally kick butt. Thanks Mike for a super build.
Post 3=7 more to fo for the dev forums..... WooHoo
Will we see the camera and mic working soon?

Thanks for the replies! I tried using tether on build 8, and just tried it on build 10 and still no luck. Any ideas? Thanks again!

I'm having the same issues. What apps are people using on the phone?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
My phone is a bit old (motorolla cliq), but I have tried with the wifi tether included with my rom/kernel by adlxmod and also with barnacle. Both of these worked with tiamat/morray I had previously on my Xoom. I really like the ICS builds by EOS, and if my tether would work I will never return to HC!

I guess they removed it because I don't have it either. Why they removed it?, no idea.

Tehering works with Wifi Tether
Now that Bluetooth works I can tether using wifi tether without the need for adhoc functionality. Very happy.

Thx for short feedback!
Does anyone know if the 1000 track playlist limit in Music/Honeycomb has been fixed? I know Gingerbread doesn't have the limitation, hoping they have fixed it in ICS.

Help, hope maclaw noticed

I cant post a reply to maclaw forums so I started here
I am using cm9 beta 10
I turn off the heptic feedback, but why my devices still vibrate whenever I touch the menu button? Any solution everyone?
And then my devices couldnt sent short messages anymore

I tried using GoSmsPro and using custom smsc
But it still doesnt work, but everytime I put my sim card in another devices, I can send short messages (sms) without any problem
Wifi tether dont work but it's not a problem since I can use another tether application
Thats all what I found
Anyone can help?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english

Sounds like a bug with the ROM. Have you tried installing a earlier version of Cyanogenmod, CM7 for example, and seeing if the issue persists?
No I haven't
CM9 is my first custom rom I try
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Then I would recommend trying CM7. If the issues disappear, then you know it's an problem with CM9. If they don't then you know it's an problem with your phone. Either way, you'll be in a better situation than you are currently.
I tried CM7 briefly and didn't have the issues you mentioned. Give it a try.

For the phones that maclaw develops for, cm7 is much more stable...
And he has started dev-ing for cm10 (which is better, compared to cm9), why bother with reports for cm9 then...

Well, even I follow that thread, and I do remember seeing a similar solution/problem in the thread itself...
Have you used the search function in the thread?
Yes I already using search function
And the solution is install GoSMS and using custom SMSC
I did and it still not working
While on the other phone my sim would send sms without any problem

Wifi tether issue

Ive been using wifi tether with no problems until last night. When i turn it on my other devices wont see it now. Whats wrong?! Thx for any help
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
A little more info wouldnt hurt. Are you stock or running a custom ROM? Did you change anything at all between working/not working. Have you tried rebooting the phone and other devices? You can also try changing settings such as SSID or encryption.
I restarted all devices including my phone. Running synergy 1.7. Also hit refresh on other devices when searching for wifi but no bueno. Didnt change anything at all just tried to use it lately and nothing is finding it

Make sure your device profile is set to Generic ICS/JB(wlan0). I'm pretty sure that is the one that eschelon recommended. Also sometimes you do have to start the service, stop it, start it again. Mine acts up like that every now and then.

WiFi tethering for Paranoid Android, Magic Mod, and CM10

I stumbled on this app yesterday, and it was suggested that I post it here. It's a quick easy "fix" for WiFi tethering on these ROMs. In the settings I had to tick "Skip wpa_supplicant" to get it to work, but so far so good. I hope it works for y'all.

If you go ape**** and download a bunch of data, or use it all the time, most likely they will probably catch it.

That's odd I've used barnacle in the past on other phones and it works well only I tried it on my a2 and it didn't work perhaps your using a different version?
Edit: nope same results that I got with the play store version.
Thank you though.

I don't recall having any issues with this except with my tablet detecting it after it updated to ICS. I haven't used this in a while as I have been on NUMA for over a month. I'll reinstall PA or something of the like this weekend and see if I can find an answer for you.:thumbup:

Wifi calling

Can i get wifi calling on one s cm10 stable
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Does it work?
I have tried to find the answer to this as well. Since the last minor update from T-blow it works worse than before.
Is there a CM dev out there that can answer this or someone that is using CM 10.1 stable that can answer this?
Been searching for answer to this as well. Haven't been able to find an answer on these forums or anywhere else. From what I've read simply installing the .apk does nothing. Looks as if its a kernel issue as well. :/
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
The answer is no.
Unfortunately WiFi calling will not work on anything other then stock.
Their implementation of the service is to ingrained into the framework to simply get it working on the new version.
