I'm having trouble with my WiFi at home. When connected I can browse the web just fine with any browser (Chrome, Browser). However, when trying to use an app that needs the internet it refuses to connect and I have to use mobile data. Im not sure if this is a problem with my phone or my router. Anyone have any ideas?
My phone is running CM 10.1.3 on a Verizon SIII with no additional kernels (I do need one with fast charge however).
Could my AdBlock Plus maybe be causing the issue since it goes through a proxy?
Well a little update.
I disabled ABP and the problem still persists. This is really annoying and I have no other ideas.

Tried those just now and of course my WiFi is down at the moment. Will post as soon as I can test it. Thanks for the suggestion.

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.
Freeze tether app in titbu. Done.

So I installed open garden tether and it works fine that way. Except for the fact that my wife's infuse stock doesn't see the ssid from a foot away.??? My computers and other friends cell's can connect, weird...

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

Hi. I'm having trouble using Wi-Fi Tether.
Whenever I'm tethering I experience frequent disconnects and reconnects on my desktop (running Windows 7 Ultimate). I can see it most clearly when I'm torrenting a file. Every minute or so the connection just drops, and 30 seconds or more later starts up again. It even affects my browsing. When the connection drops no sites will load.
I've tried three different apps: Barnacle, OpenGarden, and the WiFi Tether 3.0 Pre 12 app.
Currently I'm on Tweakstock 1.1 ROM with stock kernel. I was previously on PBJ kernel and Infinity ROM, and then flashed to Eclipse 1.2 ROM, and with both ROMs I had the same issue. In fact with the Infinity and Eclipse ROMs I tried a whole bunch of Wi Fi Tether versions but nothing fixed the problem.
With WiFi Tether, I unchecked the "disable wakelock" section, set the device profile to Samsung Captive, and tried with the softap option both checked and unchecked. Still no cigar.
I had this same problem when I used USB tethering with PDAnet, and later Easytether. I'm at a loss for what to do.
Any suggestions?
Why disable wakelock? Also, it should be Fascinate, not Captivate.

Sorry, I meant Fascinate. I've actually tried both and it had no effect. I don't disable wakelock. I uncheck the box that says "disable wakelock", so that wakelocks are enabled. Either way I've tried it both with the box checked and unchecked, and neither situation worked.
Are you sure it's the app dropping? It could be the typical data drop.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
For what it's worth, i occasionally have to toggle airplane mode and restart the app. Could be a similar issue. Tethering is hit and miss, mostly hit tho.

It doesn't happen if I do stuff on the phone itself, like run ttorrent or something.

Last night I set the app to run ttorrent (at very limited speeds) and when I woke up it had already disconnected completely, with hardly any data transferred. The thing is normally after it disconnects after a minute of running it will eventually reconnect after a minute. It keeps doing it over and over.
Is it only happening when you're doing torrents? What about just regular web browsing?

Actually I think I've FINALLY got it working. Holy mother of cows!!! I did a cleanup of my computer and apparently I had some weird programs like "Sendori" and "Tages" or whatever. I also uninstalled any programs I don't use anymore and restarted my comp.
First I tried PDAnet (actually uninstalled Easytether first, which had also failed to work properly beforehand), and suddenly USB tether was working. That had me running around my room in celebration. Then I tried Wi-Fi tether, and at first it worked, but then it suddenly disconnected and said "limited access" blah blah. So I restarted my phone and comp and tried again, and it worked!!!
Holy cow I hope it lasts. I'm on tweakstock right now but I'm contemplating if it's worth tempting fate to flash a new ROM. Tweakstock is just too slow for me. My phone worked infinitely better with Infinity ROM and Eclipse.
Sigh... well PDAnet works, but WiFi Tether still has issues. The disconnect/reconnect happens much more quickly, but ultimately it still prevents me from using wireless tether properly.
When I conduct a test on Pingtest.net while using PDAnet to connect my desktop, my overall grade is a B, but with WiFi tether it's a C+ or D, with the test unable to complete the packet loss test.
Could someone here please attempt to run a test on pingtest.net (it's an affiliate of speedtest.net) while on wifi tether and report their results?
Man, I don't know how to put this other than it sounds like you are doing something wrong. Pre 12 and 3.1beta7 stay connected and reconnect after manual disconnect perfectly.
Softap, fascinate must be used.
You should back up and try a new flash. I suggest stock deodexed and debloated ep4d with imo 4 kernel. Also, ping times on phone are identical when tethered or not. If you wanna know ping times, use an app like net ping or ping using terminal emulator. Whwn you ping, ping the address with www. I strongly suggest using www.intel.com or www.google.com
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
Pingtest.net has a "packet loss" test, which is relevant to the issue of a connection dropping. So a normal connection should get an A or B overall, with 0% packet loss.
Anyways I'll try the kernel and ROM combination you suggested.
Try using 3.1 beta 6. Haven't had any problems with this version

I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to the torrenting specifically. All i know is i wouldn't want to be sharing bandwidth with someone who was downloading 2 Blu-Ray movies from 5 people and uploading them to 8. It just screams irresponsible network use to me.

I have Foxfi installed on my s3, it works great for like 5 mins then it looses connection and I have to re connect. It just continues, are there any settings on the phone that hinder the connectivity after a certain amount of time. Also when it does this I can immediately pick up the phone and hit the chrome browser app and it loads instantly. So I don't think it's the radio or my signal. P.s. have screen timeout set to 15 mins. Thanks and please help , I kinda don't want to root and nit even surer if that would make a difference.

Settings/developers options.... make sure the "do not keep activities" is unchecked.
Otherwise, welcome yourself to the disturbing (and growing) number of data connectivity issues popping up with the s3.
Before I rooted I was using foxfi and it was the same ****. I understand it as the same issue as dropping wifi.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

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?

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.

I'm having the most random issue no matter the ROM. On LTE I usually hit 40mbp/s down and 15mbp/s up and every single app uses this just fine...except for Facebook. I have to use WiFi for Facebook otherwise only about %25 of whatever page I'm on loads. The WiFi in the house is 3/1.5 so nowhere near as fast as LTE. I've installed a few different ROMs, tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook to no avail. Any ideas?

I think it's Facebook I have had the same problem also with you tube but it's alittle better now
stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!
I am having this exact same issue. Facebook only works on WiFi. If I am on 4G I get tons of authentication issues. Only half of my news feed and profile will load on 4G. I have used Odin and went back to stock, uninstalled/reinstalled Facebook, and tried different radios. I called Verizon about this and they have no idea what is wrong. They are supposed to send the issue to the network team and then call me back.
I did notice that Facebook thinks I am in Cheyenne, WY instead of Pittsburgh, Pa. If you log into Facebook on a computer you can look at your active sessions. It shows devices and locations. If I log in while on WiFi it reports that I am in Pittsburgh.
This is a very bizarre issue. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing the issue? It seems like a network issue to me.

I've got no issue with Facebook working over LTE/ mobile data. Maybe its an issue with the service in your area? If you haven't maybe try clearing the apps cache/data and relog back in
** well I reread and it seems like uninstalling reinstall should do the same thing so no idea other than it being your area mine works fine (version 2.1)

Unfortunately that did not work. I am leaning towards a network issue on the vzw side of things since it works fine on WiFi. Thanks though!

Honestly, the FB app is utter garbage and drains battery like no other. It's gotten a tad better recently, but your best bet is likely just going to http://m.facebook.com
