Weird and by accident discovery today....i tried the tethergps app to see if i can tether GPS signal from my ideosx5 to TP and found this....when i activate server and client at TP gps. Work fine at least with Google navigation that i tried,can this be true?
Yes, that app works to share GPS from your phone. And yes it is functional.
You can just download fake GPS from the market and it'll figure out your GPS locations using wifi only very well

tell me more... when I look at the fakeGPS I find in market, it sounds more like it lets you set a fake GPS location instead of using wifi to pretend to be full GPS.
I'm hoping I've mis-read, b/c I'd really like the function you're describing...

OK, new question... Thanks to your help I figured out how to make wifi only downloads over a mobile network.. But now I have a question of is there a way to make the system/apps whatever think that there actually is a wifi connection when there is not? For example, when playing gameloft games, in order to play online you need wifi... Which i do not have. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

I don't know of any way to do that. You could try to use a wifi hotspot app on your phone, start the hotspot, and connect to the wifi from your own device.

Wireless Tether for root is the only one it works for, but install it turn it on then turn on wifi and boom! It works like a charm. Wifi without the wifi. Thank you very much

WTF?????? GOD DAMN!!!!
You two guys are so godlike, thank you very very much! Now I can play Modern Combat 3 all day long *lol* I searched so long for solving this problem. There are a lot of german forums with this problem too...but no suggestion!
Thaaaaanks a lot and sorry for the bad english
....
How would this work? My phone uses the same radio for Wi-Fi and hotspot....
I'm attempting to use an app that doesn't recognize networks, will only run off Wi-Fi.
There is a xpose module to do this.....personally I didn't tried yet that...bit hope it will work

Lets say you want to share the internet from your new (rooted) photon to one of those super sweet Xoom tablets or other device that doesn't like to connect to an ad-hoc network (PS3, Touchpad, etc...) Well you can either mod the device so it plays nice with ad-hoc (in the case of the Xoom you can use the link in my signature) or you can mod your phone to put out an infrastructure network signal.
So without any more talk... download the newest Wifi-Tether 3.0
Go into settings and change:
Device profile - Nexus One
Setup Method - Netd (master)
And there you go!
Super simple and easy solution.
Remember the thanks button!
Doesnt work when u activate wifi tethering it somehow activates the stock tethering an then says mobile ip reg error an reboots the phone.....

It gives me a message around the lines of "what the hell!, your phone is taking over the tethering, shutting wifi tethering now!" When I click on the notification in the status bar. It shuts down the tethering

I will post this on precentral.net and give you your well deserved credit! Thanks mr_wrong_0
Works fine for me...for a bit. It piped up with "wireless tether has been granted super user permissions" after it had been tethered for a good deal if time with but only 16mb of data transfer. Then it locked up my radio and wireless.

There is an EASIER and BETTER way ti get Free WIreless Tether for the Xoon AND HP Touchpad:
Goto Amazon Free Apps and download (for free) Tethering Widget. Install as a Widget and you are off and running with free wireless tether. Did this on my Photon and my wife's Photon with no issues. Works flawlessly. The Works on XOOM and HP TOUCHPAD. Enter a SSID (or keep default)>change to WPA2 PSK>Enter Password> Change to Channel 11. And both devices will will recogize the NEW Free Wireles Tether. Awesome.

I don't have 4G here in my little neck of the woods so I haven't been able to test it. As I understand it you need to start with 3G and then turn on 4G, but I haven't tested it at all (just read about it.)
I hope it works tethering 4G would be very nice.

To get the 3.0 version just download the 4shared app from market and search "wifi-tether". Also after that search just search for "apk " to see more results.

wifi_tether_v3_0-pre12.apk
Cant paste the link , as i am a new user ...
You have to click All Downloads , before u see this.
There have been reports in other forums of connectivity issues when using the mobile hotspot (verizon provisioned). Some of the reports have indicated that verizon and motorola are aware of the issue related to MTU setting.
Personally, my laptops are able to connect and work properly, but my Kindle Fire is only able to connect with limited success. i.e. downloading books works but most web browsing fails (hangs forever trying to load page). Cloud music also works. But apps don't download.
I've checked the maximum MTU without fragementation and it seems that the verizon mobile hotspot fragments over 1400bytes while my home wifi fragments over 1500bytes.
I created this post because I haven't seen other similar post on xda-developers and wanted others to be aware of this issue that I've heard also affects ipads, ipods, and macbooks.
Kindle connectivity
Hi,
I also had problems staying connected with the Kindle. I was able to solve the problem by making the DHCP IP setting on the Razr start at x.x.x.50 instead of 1 or 2. I've never had a problem since.
I hope this helps
Hi guys, I had the same issues while using Verizons hotspot . I could only connect to some sites like craigslist and google, other sites like Yahoo and cars.Com would not connect. The fix I found was to install wifi tether from the market, open and before connecting open settings (under menu), then checking "routing fix". That took care of all my connection problems. Let me know if that helps. P.S. give me a thanks if it works out.

Does using this app do anything, raise a flag with my account for tethering/hot spot?
I did verify it does work on the XT912 and Kindle Fire though.
i searched and never could come up with another person having same problem
i am running viper rom now tried a couple other roms with no luck either so it must be something i did ...
AT&T hotspots telling me to open the browser and accept the terms and conditions to access free wifi ..
any ideas on how to get it to auto connect as it once did?
I think that was att bloatware app. If not the same, a similar app, AT&T smart WiFi, is on play store, seems like it has issues with battery drain though.

I flashed that wisp file and made sure all the permissions were correct when it rebooted. It still does not auto login to the ATTWIFI locations. Then I added those lines to the wpa file from another thread and still nothing for me.

Must have attwifi ssid in the list of saved WiFi networks, after that it will auto connect and login every time. Will show a notification when it connects.
Worked like a charm, thanks!

Is there a GPS fix for the Sprint Note 3?
For some reason my GPS has not been able to get my exact location . It is always searching. I tried TopNTP app and other apps similar to it and it didn't work for me. I noticed that the GPS wasn't working properly after root, using Towelroot.

Thanks but that app didn't work. It showed all the satellites I could connect with, but it wasn't able to fix the issue. The app showed 17 satellites and I can't connect to 1.
Ok after further looking, my gps.conf file is not right. Also the gps.conf.bak is corrupted.
Any suggestions on getting these fixed?
