Hey guys, I am trying to tether wirelessly with my rooted Galaxy S3 on stock OTA Jellybean 4.1.2.
I've always used the Wifi Tether For Root Users app but it doesn't seem to be working with it.
Can anyone inform me of a fix or another app that works to tether wirelessly? Also, if you could include some of the apps settings to help me out... it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users, with a variety of settings and had no luck. Had to use a modified version from TrevE and it works fine now. There's a number of links for it out there and I'm not sure which is the best to point you to. You can find it via Google though

Thank you for this! I got it to work!
It still won't work when I enable wifi encryption to protect the connection for some odd reason, but works with access control enabled.
Again, thank you!

I never worry about needing encryption myself, so I haven't tried it. We pretty much only use it in the car, for example, so unless someone follows us around, they're not going to have much luck mooching free internet off of us. On the rare time I've turned it on in a public place, I did turn on access control.

Is there any way to get the wifi calling app and all of the support files to test on my P-509? I'm not too keen on switching back to 2.2.x, but that is the only solution I have found thus far. Any help or pointers would would be appreciated!

Well the WiFi Calling app is a nasty one to get working. Requires edits to the kernel and several over lib modifications. I've never done it, but I've been around the block a few times. Your best place would be the actual WiFi Calling Thread, over in the Android Dev. It is a most basic overview of getting the app to work on specific phones.
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?

I'm having the same issues. What apps are people using on the phone?

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.

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.
Also - I have proxy disabled.

Don't think that should matter. Let me test later and see if I can connect to my Galaxy Nexus on JB.

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.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
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?

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.

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.

You mind posting the APK if possible? I am having a hard time finding it on GP, AMZ, or BM
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.
