I have been having this issue since the JB update (I was running JB leaks before, but am now running game stock, rooted and unlocked JB).
I currently have the paid official Verizon tethering app (I have an unlimited data plan), and had the same issue as well when using FoxFi (paid) and other tethering apps.
Basically, tether will work well for the first few minutes, and then the phone will lose its data connection often enough to make the tethering useless.
Anyone having tether work well for them? This has been bothering me for several months now...

Use Treve tether mod in the apps and themes section. Works perfect for me and im running running Beans Build 7.

The tether mod is actually included in Beans build 7. I was having tethering problems too on JB but since running build 7 they are completely gone, I get steady and fast connection.
Did you use Foxfi before updating to Jelly Bean? Did it work fine? I noticed that several apps that use the built in hotspot including Verizons paid hotspot gave me the same data connection issues on Ice Cream Sandwich. The app "Power Toggles" enables the phones hotspot feature and had the same problem.
Foxfi updated their app to use the same method that bypasses Verizon and enables the phones hotspot app when using Jelly Bean. (So the Foxfi on ICS is very different than on JB) It seems that any app including verizons app that uses the built in hotspot has the data connection issue for me. It's perfect for a couple minutes than drops for a minute.
I'm worried that if I upgrade my phone to Jelly Bean, Foxfi will drop my connection as it did with Power Toggles and all other apps that enable the phones hotspot.

I've had the same issue with 4G data dropping using the hotspot and it appears worse since the JB update on my Verizon S3. Interesting enough, I have no issues using the tethering option via Bluetooth.
Note my phone is stock, not rooted.
FoxFi used to help (I'm paying for unlimited tethering) but since the JB update it doesn't matter. In fact, when I reinstalled FoxFi and turned on the hotspot via the app, the Verizon hotspot app also starts. This never happened before but appears to have happened since the JB upgrade.
I read in another forum to try turning off WPA2-PSK security all together and turn on Open. I've just tested that and it appears to not kill the 4G connection. I did turn on only connect to allowed devices... It's easy to add them by turning that option off with just "open", then add the device(s) by selecting the "+" to the right of the device so they are then listed in the "approved" section. Then turn back on "only allowed devices".
I have not tested the WPA-PSK encryption to see if it drops (yet).
I don't particularly care to run an open network with no encryption as any packet sniffer can pick up plain text (although browser encryption keeps secure sites secure) and allowing only certain devices works off the MAC address, so it's "relatively" secure. And by relatively I mean not greatly secure because a techhead can spoof their MAC address. But since it's a phone, my hotspot isn't always on...
I also need to test running a tablet along with my PC to see if the 4G drops or not.
Some other notes with the problems I'm having:
- The phone doesn't drop signal. Test programs show the signal connection constant. The mobile data simply turns off on the phone and pops off and on,,,
- I had this same issue with my HTC Thunderbolt.This leads me to believe it's a Verizon problem, but since the open option is appearing to work, that doesn't seem 100% true.
- Bluetooth tethering is fairly solid. Minimal drops, but Bluetooth doesn't appear to be quite as good as passing data as WiFi.I don't have bandwidth specs handy
- Since going to open/limited approved devices I'm streaming video in the background on Chrome browser and also surfing XDA at the same time with (fingers crossed) no 4G drop,
- After changing to open on the hotspot, I did shutdown and reboot the phone.
Let me know if this helps your situation.
UPDATE: Well after all that, I added my Nexus 7 to the hotspot and within seconds it dropped 4G data. Now it's dropping periodically even with the Nexus off and just the PC connected. So I dropped it back to completely open not limiting devices and it appears to be not dropping. Buggy PITA!
UPDATE #2: Just got off the phone with Verizon Tech Support. This is apparently a known problem with ICS on this device and they are working on an update. They offered me a replacement phone but I bought this new and do not want a refurb, so I declined. They then suggested a SIM card replacement as this is where all the info is used for security to/from the network and if the SIM card does not fully fix, then a factory reset and reinstall of all programs (which I knew was coming).

With my experience, if you update to JB you will experience the drops. I didn't have as much of a problem with this with ICS.

Thank you for the informative post. You've done a lot of the work for me. This is unfortunately what I expected. The hotspot feature in general seems to be bugged on the S3. My phone is rooted and the use of "Wifi Tether" seems to keep a constant but horrible connection. I tried a few other root wifi tether apps with the same issues. I'm not sure what methods are used by the apps but my connection speed with Foxfi is 15-20 Mbps where it's only 4-6 Mbps with Wifi Tether at the same time. I would love to use bluetooth but in my case I'm bridging the wireless connection with my router for the rest of the home network. Keep us updated on anything else you discover. Thus far, Foxfi has worked perfect on ICS with little to no drops. Sadly no other app has proven the same. I stream Netflix in HD and a decent connection is required.
EDIT: I would be curious to know if any of the custom JB roms have a smooth working wifi tethering app. I know that several have tethering baked in OTB but do they suffer from the same problem we've mentioned here?
On Unlimited data unpaid I used stock Verizon 4G Hotspot on stock deodexed rom all Christmas weekend tethered to my laptop and fast charging via USB with ZIGGY's latest kernel. Only time I lost connection is if I left it idle for a prolonged time. Worked great and could not tell any difference from my 18 MB DSL line although I did not do speed tests. It also maintained 100% charge regardless of laptop usage. Charged faster than I could use it. Only power connection was laptop connected to wall. Phone remained tethered to laptop via USB. One Power connection/one wireless connection. Works for me.
Yes, definitely don't upgrade to JB. I'd also be interested to see if the issue is better on other JB ROMs.
I actually got a good tech on the phone that admitted there was a software issue with JB which is why they offered a replacement. They also suggested I contact Samsung which I may do.

And why is that. I'm running Stock JB with no problem although I have never excepted an OTA. Actually have never seen an OTA in years since they have always been blocked. That is phone hack rule #1. Never had to return a device.
I was referring to only the Wifi hotspot program. I have no issues with direct USB or Bluetooth tether. Just the hotspot which the Verizon Tech admitted has an issue with JB on the S3.
I'm running straight stock, no root. If I was running anything else I wouldn't accept an OTA either.

Honestly, I don't recall if I used it much while still on ICS. I do know that it was working pretty well on my RAZR Maxx on ICS before switching to the S3; I didn't use it much on the S3 bc I no longer had a tablet at that time...

Don't just say it! Click the Thanks button!
So, is there a fix in the works via Verizon/Samsung? Especially since I'm paying for this service, I would rather not go through the trouble of hacking my phone to get it to work. I appreciate the fix thread being posted above, and don't feel uncomfortable doing it, but the purpose of this thread is not only for people who feel comfortable hacking their phones to get this to work, but also for those that don't desire to spend the time screwing with their phone and/or have no desire doing it. Let's keep this discussion going.

I agree. Mods, I respectfully request that this be moved back to the general discussion section; this is not merely a question, but a discussion of a problem that seems to affect a decent number of users attempting to tether consistently. Thank you.

Outside of the network extender, the ROM's work. Currently I"m running Touchwiz Rom Jellybeans version 19. Stock or any Touchwiz ROM's work when I"m on the network extender. I've searched for a solution and have found none. I have owned my Galaxy S3 for over a year and haven't been able to run any of these ROM's because of the network extender issues. It's been very frustrating ,can someone please help with the situation?

I have to use a network extender at home as well. It's an older version so it doesn't handle data. I've used it on both TW and AOSP Roms without a problem, so what you have should work.
On AOSP roms, do you get the two tone note when you try to call? You should only need to dial #48 to register with it and then call out.

There are two different network extender models. On the older one, there is no data connection. The newer one offers 3G as well as voice I believe. So if you're on the older model you won't have network data and will have to rely on wifi. When you dial out, if you hear 2 tones before it begins to ring, then you're operating off the extender.
As long as you're on a stable version of a ROM, it shouldn't have any significant impact. I've used several TW and AOSP roms without noticing any real difference.

Hi, thank you for responding ,I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I've checked with Verizon and I"m on the newer network extender .On stock or Touchwiz ROM"s I do get a phone connection and 3G. I also get the the two tones when I dial a number before it connects. From what was explained to me that means I"m under the network extender. When I dial # 48 on an AOSP or TW ROM, it tells me that I'm under the network extender's connection.
95% of the ROM's I've used have been stable. The others have been Cyonogen Mod nightly's . On my Droid Razor Maxx,when running and AOSP ROM, I never had these issues.

No, I've gone into mobile networks and changed it manually, rebooted and the "R" for roaming as shown in the photos is still there. I've manually forced it into 3g only and it remains the same. No data connection

Update: Currently I am running an AOSP Rom (CM 10.2 09-19-2013) and it's working. To get it to work, I installed the last ICS OTA modem (the VRLHE) and I am now getting data at home under the network extender. No more "R" for roaming! The modem is not as strong as the Jelly Bean VRBMF1 modem, but it's working. I still can't get any AOSP roms to work on JB modems and I don't know why. I was thinking of contacting the CM team for a possible solution. I am still glad it's working even though it's on an old radio.
I had the same issue two days ago when I flashed to the latest MIUI Rom. Here's how I fixed it.
Go into settings, mobile networks, make sure subscription is set to SIM. After that open the phone, type *#*#4636#*#* make sure it's set to LTE/CDMA/AUTO
Reboot phone and all should be well.

ok, so those with verizon network extenders, are you having issues connecting? I actually am, and want to make sure its not my phone.
Could anyone offer me some help with my Tab (GT-5110) please. I am not able to see any 5GHZ networks. My other devices (PC / mobile phones etc) can all see the 5 GHZ networks ok. My tab is up to date and on the official 4.2.2 firmware.
Samsung did confirm to me that the Tab 2 is 5 GHZ enabled.

Repair centre now say that the Tab 2 does not operate on 5GHZ since latest Samsung software/firmware update.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks

Device returned and the covering letter states "we have installed the latest approved software", strange that, as the firmware is 4.1.1 and when I check for an update, there is an update available, which I assume is 4.2.2. Also the TAB still can not see 5GHZ on 4.1.1.
Can anyone help?

As far as I can tell, the Tab 2 Wifi hardware doesn't support 5 GHz. It's amazing that Samsung didn't just tell you that.
I'd love to be proven wrong, as my Tab 10.1 DID work on 5 gig. Just not the Tab 2.
Samsung now say that it will not work with 5GHZ and this is from high up. Just wish that they provided the correct information at the first point of contact and I would not have not have been without the Tab for 2 weeks and spent 5 hours on the telephone.
Hi guys.
I have one question. What is happening when you are using #*7337# code on samsung note 4 device?
I used it today, it wrote that my phone was doing something ( unfortunately I didn't remember what it was saying ), but after that my phone lost network. I didn't have network and couldn't use LTE Internet.
But when I went to settings than to mobile network menu, I could press button " search for network" and it found my network and after that my phone got network connection and Internet.
However, I'm still wondering what did I do to my phone? And is it really bad?
My phone is note 4, stock, android 5.0.1
Thank you for help.

Hi all,
I have a strange problem with a brand new Samsung J3 2017. It runs on Android 7.0 and everything seems work just fine, except the Wi-Fi. Problem is basically that i suddenly get the message " internet may not be available" but it seems to just work even tho i get this error.
I get this error about 4 x a day and i really do have to switch WiFi OFF and ON again to get internet. I have tested 2 Samsung J330F phones behind severial routers. My other Samsung phone (s7) doesnt have this problem behind the same routers
Does someone maybe has a tip for me ?
I could maybe flash the phone with a stock android version but then i would lose warranty.
I did tested a factory reset twice
