I have this on my Photon Q, and for some reason, some days it works fine, and stays connected, and other days my computer will connect to the wifi tethering of my phone, then after about 1 min it will disconnect. Its not my computer, it is the phone, the phone stops broadcasting with the tethering app.
Does anyonw know a fix for this? Yesterday i stayed connected without issue, but the day before, I fought with it all day long trying to keep it connected. I either have to restart wifi tether, or sometimes I actually have to restart the phone.
I know this i an issue with the phone, but I wonder if some setting in my computer is making the phone disconnect?
Also, if anyone has any better tethering apps, please let me know.
Have you tried an app like "KeepConnOn"?
No I will check into that thank you
I use trev e mod. So far works flawless.

I did not come up with mod. So I'm not taking credit for it. All I know is that it's somewhere on xda. A buddy of mine sent me the apks. Sprint has blocked almost all the tethering apps from market.

ah yeah, i've seen treve around before. he created some apps to identify and disable logging added in by the carriers, etc. thanks for the tip, PdaNet works well for usb tethering, but it's nice to have a wifi option too.
Here is the link to the trev mod in xda--http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
Only thing though this is the same as wifi tether for root users and i downloaded mine from the play store. The one above i believe you have to install busybox and the one from the market you don't.

I dowloaded the app from the link above. Tried changing a few setting but still no luck. Turn on the wifi tether, laptops sees hotspot, connects, but when i try to browse my carrier pops up requesting me to pay. How do i bypass this? My Photon Q is unlocked and rooted.

In the settings did you change device profile to ics/jb generic wlan0. I don't really touch to much after that and it works fine for me. Who is your carrier?

CSPIRE. It's unlimited but not video streaming wich is kinda dumb that they changed it. Thanks I'm gonna give that a try when i get home. I'm hoping to learn more about kernels so I can stop CSPIRE from blocking me.
I have downloaded the trev e mod, and so far it is working great for me. Thanks for the info and the link!
my phone stopped broadcasting its wifi when I use wireless tether trev E mod lastnight for some reason. I habe reinstalled and changed settings around and everything. Anyone know a fix for this?
Any idea why after some time (30min aprox) the tethering trev shuts down by self?
How can I fix that?

If the play store doesn't work just click the "here" and it will dwnload directly to you phone.

I use Barnacle for wifi tethering myself. Seems like sprint throttles the connection when the phone sleeps though, setting 'stay awake' under the development settings page might help.

Hey here's the lowdown.
4g xoom w/tiamats 3.2.4 lte rom. Same kernal packaged with the rom.
I've searched around looking for a wireless tether app to work with the xoom.
Wireless tether 3.1-beta, wireless tether 2.0.7, barnical, etc.
None work. Trying to tether laptop to xoom. Thanks.

Are you just NOT paying attention to the initial post for that ROM? It clearly states tethering, at least 4G, does not work with that ROM. You have to disable LTE. It is a bug with the Kernel/ROM and it should be fixed soon.
Luckily I'm not as much of a nob as yu think. I did read the op of his thread and saw that. Even when in 3g (toggled via settings), it won't tether.
For some reason the apps won't complete the process of setting up the tether. IDK if its something to do with the roms settings or the app. I use wireless tether personally on my x2 and it works great.
Guess I should say it fail at "starting softap" and "activating wifi interface".
Hope this helps with diagnosis.

Try removing any security and see if it works?

Security removed and still no joy. What is everyone else using to tether their xooms 4/3g?
Side note, hotspot notification from rom (blue tether hotspot notification) shows up when wifi tether is running.
Updated to beta8 and still doesn't work.

I don't use any special application, I just use the Wifi AP ability that is already native to Android.... it works fine with the XOOM.
That's funny cause everything that I have used, even the ap android tethering, doesn't work. Idk. Maybe I just have bad luck. Thx for yur guys help.

Hello. I am really new to all this and I have a problem that I can't seem to find similar posts explaining or having the same issue. I have the supercm7 v1 rom on my infuse4g and the mobile hotspots won't work. A user can connect to it and we even saw that he could get an IP address and DNS was working. But no data, cannot load any webpages or anything. I looked at the apn settings and played around with them with different suggestions with no luck. Any ideas? Thank you

Not sure if i'm any help at all, but every time ive used wifi tethering, i need to load something on my phone after enabling tethering in order for the inernet to work on the computer. it never seems to work correctly until i use data on the phone after turning it on and connecting.

ROOT as you said that you had done. You can root stock. Then freeze or uninstall tethering manager in titanium backup. Done. Make sure you have a visible SSID

With just root can we use the wifi tether apk on the verizon SG3? If so, are there any special things that need done to make it work?
yeap, you should be able to. you just need to enable unknown sources under settings/security

what app are you using? i used to use Wugfresh on my droidx.
I just posted in the General form about this. My recommendation is to use a 3rd party app such as Wifi Widget, that will turn on the built in wifi tethering app without checking for account status. Verizon might change this in the future but it is work much better for me than 3rd party wifi tether apps.
Has anyone seen a way to enable tethering via Bluetooth (bypassing the check for subscription)?
When I'm out and about I like to have my tablet connected to my phone over bluetooth. However, with my new S3 it asks me to subscribe to a tethering plan when I try checking the box to share my phones internet connection over bluetooth.
I'm stock, rooted and on a Verizon capped data plan (not the share everything plan)
Anyone?

Eric, can you provide a link to a Wifi Widget app that will turn on the built in tethering capability on my VZW SGS3? I tried a couple and they didn't seem to work.
Thanks!

bond32, thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don't really like the Fattin widgets icon. Tethering Widget also seems to work and I like it's 1x1 icon better. I had forgotten that I was using it on my Samsung Fascinate running CM10 while my SGS3 was getting fixed.

Thanks a lot.
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.

Yeah I realize FoxFi doesn't need root, but it won't connect with the tablet. I read somewhere it doesn't work well with Jelly Bean...
Not sure about JB but it works great on ICS and my VZW GSlll.

Yeah works fine on the phone itself, but the nexus 10 is on JB so there is my problem I think.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with the Wifi Tether app by Treve Mod? I CAN NOT use the tethering on my windows 8 laptop, but it works just fine with the 7 one. They are the same computers. My dad has the Note 2 and he uses the same app, and I can connect to his, and it will work fine. I don't know if it's a setting inside the app that is messed up on my phone, or what. Thanks, any recommendations will help.
I use it and don't have any major issues but you need specific settings in it to get infrastructure mode to work. Otherwise it just does ad hoc which may not work on some devices that won't support ad hoc wireless networks such as other phone or tablets. I will check my settings tomorrow and report back.

I will try to get the apk I am using uploaded, for now here is a screenshot of the version as well as the settings I'm using. The reload wifi driver setting was key to getting it to work in infrastructure mode for me.
