(Hack) Wifi Tether on ICS Leak - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I am running the Leaked ICS (odin one click version) and have CWM b4 installed and it is Rooted. The only thing I am missing that I want is tethering =)
Anyone figure this out yet?
I have:
- searched the settings db and have found no entries that are working.
- browsed titanium backup freezing potential apks
- attempted to install various apps..
Nothing is working. Anyone else have any better luck?

Get the FoxFi app from the marketplace. That's the easiest way to get it.

FoxFi works great. No problems.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke

Yes, FoxFi works with no other steps. One thing wifi must be off, it might send up red-flags if it were on.

Most of those apps I tried in the past turn off Wifi anyway.
I take it you are trying to get around AT&T knowing it? Just keep in mind they have been known to find out anyway, and change your account for you.
Otherwise, if you have a tethering data plan, the built in one works fine.

hello, On GB Wireless tether for root users worked for me. I was able to use my phones signal to connect my pc..waaaaaaaaaaay faster than my home wifi network. I just installed this but it seems it wants to connect to my home wifi sucky network and not use my phone signal to connect to my PC. am i missing something? do i need to freeze something on ICS for this to work? ON GB you had to freeze "tethering manager" and then it woked with a click.
sorry but some more explanation would be much appreciated....thank you

Yesterday on ICS they kept turning off my tether and saying I don't have it. Today using ICS (odin one click) version but rooted I get no messages and FoxFi now works perfect. Not just a few minutes but have been connected for hours. I had to freeze tether manager on GB but not now.
I don't know about the home wifi issue, no problems there.

i rebooted and clicked the button and then refreshed my avail networks at home...it popped up and i connected....signal strength on phone 4 bars. tried to go to gmail and it just spun....then even though at bottm of pc said connected and excellent strength...it wont' go anywhere.
EDIT: ON ICS the collectives version...and of course rooted.

Foxfi not working. Computer said connected but "Limited". I delete TetherProvisioning(TetherManager) too. Not working both Foxfi and the built in one
Used to work in stock GB. Anyone have solution?

[Q] Can't connect to S3 via AIRDROID ! ! !

Hi everyone,
I used AIRDROID with my i9000 without any problem and love it. But I can't connect to my S3 right now.I dont want plug cable or something.So after typing IP adress, browser is not responding and waiting . . . Is there any quick fix for it ? Im using AirDroid 1.0.7 beta. Maybe If you can share previous versions, they can work correctly or Im open for any solution for beta version.
Thanks !

Restart your modem/router, this should help.
Well, first of all,make sure you are connected to the same network. If you are, restart the router.
If it is still not working, tether your computer (Using your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot). Then type the shown IP.
If it STILL doesn't work, get rid of the Beta, reflash your phone, or try a different Android handset, with the same version of Airdroid, you are using.
I'm also using Airdroid, but I have never had any problems...

I tried previous version, changed port number, reset modem, another program called "wifi file explorer" and phone connects randomly maybe twice of 20 tries
So Is there any setting can effect connection on phone or modem settings? It really drives me KRAZY
You do know WEP-encryption can be cracked in as little as 2 minutes,allowing anyone with a laptop (no special hardware needed) to access your network within mere minutes?
Can you confirm AirDroid is up and running on the phone?

Hulu not working after OTA update

I'm stock, not rooted. Updated to 4.0.4 yesterday. Hulu doesn't work for me anyore. When I try to load a video I get a message saying that there's network issues with my network (Sprint). I thought maybe it was my connection but I'm well over 1 Mbps right now and Netflix works fine. Anyone else stock with the new OTA update that can test this out on a 3G connection?
Also wanted to note that the app works fine on wifi. Tested that last night. I've done PRL and profile updates just in case. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Nothing seems to work.

Nobody has replied yet so figured I'd offer you the perspective from an app developer. When coding an application to work over an internet connection, there are a few different ways to verify what type of network connection is active before initiating. The app can determine and only work over WiFi, or 3G, and in some cases can determine a WiMAX/LTE type of connection. The app could be programmed to only work over WiFi, or WiFi/3G or WiFi/3G/WiMAX/LTE, all depends on the application.
Since you state it works over WiFi, but not on the Sprint network, I find that very odd.
If the application worked over your sprint network connection before and now it does not .. we'd want to look at what changed between the before/after states.
Maybe if you could screenshot and post up the exact error message and that might provide some technical details to help narrow down the issue.
Hope some of that background is slightly helpful in moving towards a resolution!
Here you go and thank you for the response.

Enable WiFi calling in U firmware

UPDATE: it seems that all this does is enable the switch in settings, it does NOT actually allow WiFi calling. I have been digging around in both the ATT system and U System, trying to see if I can find anything that points to what makes ATT WiFi calling function. I have come up pretty empty handed thus far, I can say that swapping the ATT CSC folder to the U firmware trips a shutdown/reboot loop. It boots and shows some verifying device dialog then shuts down, BUT in the short time I got before it shutdown the Wifi calling option in settings turned from a switch to a tick box. This is as far as I have gotten and think it will not be an easy task to get ATTs version of WiFi calling to work on the U firmware.
So came across this in system/csc/Others.xml about 3/4 of the way down, I can confirm it enables the option for us att users in the U firmware but can not confirm if it works or not. It is a start.

Odd it's working for me.
Edit updated OP with new url to the screenshot, hope it works for everybody now.
Must root though? Ugh
yes, just like you need to be rooted to get VoLTE and video calling re-enabled and band 17.
But at this point I can do little to prove this works and doesn't just enable the option in settings.
I'm trying to pick through the ATT rom to see if there is anything usefull.
Screenshots maybe?

I screened the xml in the original post, I'm adding a screen of WiFi calling being available in setting to this post.

well I am still not certain on how to test to see if it is working, but I have been digging around in an ATT rom most of the day and have come up pretty empty handed, as far as any settings or any APKs that might help.
Is the a + on your wifi bars?
Easiest way to check is turn on airplane mode, turn WiFi back on and send a message or make a call

this I have tried but it insists that I turn off airplane mode in order to make a call, not sure if that is something that the U firmware does on purpose or not.
Odd, on att fw I can make a call fine with airplane mode on and wifi on
Well, I have put myself into a some kind of shutdown loop a hand full of times today trying to swap files from the ATT rom. I think this is a bit beyond me, so unless someone more knowledgeable comes along to help out I think we are once again stuck with no Wifi calling on the U rom

Actually I just switched back to the ATT firmware and wifi calling still does not work with airplane mode on for me, it's odd that others say it works for them.
You have it enabled and activated with address set? It doesn't ALWAYS work either... At home no matter if I'm on my 2.4ghz or my 5ghz it won't work. At my work though it works great and activates soon as wifi connects

E911 address.

Hey Joe, not sure if you have root or not, but if you do can you get a catlogger and toggle wificalling on and off a few times to see if we can figure out the root of what controls ATTs wifi calling. It has to be built into some arbitrary apk somewhere.
Yeah, I am looking for it in the rom. I flashed a ported Note 7 Rom for the SM-G935F, flashed a note 7 csc for AT&T, i get errors when I enable wifi calling.

Question Unable to delete "T-mobile.com" wifi subscription?

Settings-> Wi-Fi & Network -> Wi-Fi -> Saved Networks
Under [Subscrptions], there is <t-mobile.com> which will Auto Connect after you reboot your phone.
Unfortunately, it will re-install itself after you reboot your phone even you perform "Forget" or "Delete" it. ( yes, I have PM uninstall all T-mobile packages already )
Anyone know how to delete it or what it is?

1. "T-mobile.com" is wifi subscription.
2. I do not have wifi subscription via T-mobile.
3. My other phone, Samsung a32 will not auto install this subscription under my Saved Wifi.
4. Even if I disconect this subscription, my phone still works without issue as well as Wifi.
5. I do not wish to have it auto-connected after reboot.
Can you provie solution instead throw me more questions?

This is not related to Wi-Fi in any way. Notice how it simply says "Saved networks", then below "t-mobile.com", it has "Wi-Fi Networks". This implies, as far as I'm aware, that it is not Wi-Fi, but rather your cellular data subscription from T-Mobile.

so you don't have the real answer to my question.
It could just be hard coded into the tmobile branded phones to give you access to tmobile hotspots.

This could be it.
However, I also have T-mobile branded Samsung A32 5g but it does not re-install "t-mobile.com" under [Saved networks] menu after I delete it. That's why I like to know if I can prevent auto-install after I delete it.
FYI, I have already PM uninstalled all tmo packages.
I want to say many phones ago I had a similar issue with a package that happened on one phone and not another. What I remember of it was the AOKP guys went digging into it and they found that on the tmobile branded version of that phone in the original rom it was buried deep enough it couldn't be turned off. I am not sure if it was the same package but I do recall it had something to do with their wifi networks.

This makes sense. Glad you could clear this up, I was also curious.
I wouldn't swear it's cleared up lol. Like I said I could be wrong, I just remember it was a package that the AOKP guys went looking for in the stock rom for the phone (Motorola cliq or cliq2 maybe) and that it was something to do with the wifi but it was harmless just gave you access to their instore wifi stuff. I'll leave the clearing up to people much smarter than me......

Question Switching from WIFI to Mobile Data Issue

Has anyone ran across an issue when changing from WIFI to mobile data that it doesn't switch? Usually when I leave my house and get into the car it doesn't switch to mobile data and I need to restart my phone for it to connect.
I'm seeing this issue, sort of. Not sure if this is the same that's happening to you though. After leaving home/wifi, the phone shows LTE or 5G but the data doesn't work (at least for some apps, I'm not sure if it's all or not).
Restarting does fix this, but for me swapping back and forth between APNs will also fix it for some reason.
Yeh happens on phone as well, as you said the only way to get reconnect is by restarting the phone, really annoying i hope sony will address this issue in the software update
I am on the latest image and I have this problem as well. I hate to be spending time with either Sony or T-Mobile support to find where the issue is. I'm not even sure if T-Mobile will care; they'll probably tell me I'm using an unsupported phone... sigh...
If this issue is not resolved and if the upcoming Galaxy phone happens to come with an sd-card slot (low chance), then I'm returning my Sony and switching to that. So far not impressed with screen brightness for sunny days outside either, and not thrilled about over sensitive or not sensitive enough, dual-personality finger print reader. So my reasons to return are starting mount up...
Oh one more observation. If I try to force connect to another network like ATT, wait for that to fail, then switch to auto-connect right after, then 5G icon comes and I get internet connectivity restored w/o having to restart. This seems to be the only workaround. Otherwise switching mobile data on/off, or switching in and out of airplane mode doesn't do anything.
And... I'm sure I can do this trick when I naturally lose service then come back into service where I only get voice, but no data. This is the thing that most pisses me off. I can anticipate switching in/out of wi-fi and apply the workaround or reboot. But I can't keep checking my phone to see if I constantly have 5G coverage, which is spotty at times to begin with T-Mobile.
Really frustrated with this here....
I had this problem, so did a search and found the same problem with older Sony phone. He said what fixed it was changing the apn settings. Wish I could find that web site again. But basically checked my default apn setting, and it was missing some info. I made a new apn with the correct T-Mobile settings and deleted the old one. And now I don't need a restart to get mobile data working. Never would have thought that would be the fix. Hope this helps

This did the trick!!! Thank you very much! I don't know if Sony was trying to be smart to include the "T-Mobile" APN in the phone, or T-Mobile pushed both "T-Mobile" and "T-Mobile US LTE" APNs over the air, but when I switched from T-Mobile to T-Mobile US LTE, the issue stopped exhibiting.
