[Q] WifI not working after installing Busybox - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed and now uninstalled Busybox but now when I click on WifI from pull down menu the icon just goes a dark green and isn't trying to search.

Just ignore the question, it was installing WifI Adhoc enabler that killed the WifI, but I uninstalled and all is well in the world.

[Q] gapps causing problems after ED01 update

After updating my wife's phone to ED01 from EA28 stock, com.google.process.gapps continuously stops unexpectedly. Her phone was not rooted or anything and was stock other than the apps she has installed. I've rebooted the phone several times and no improvement. Has anyone else heard of this problem? I know I can always flash back to earlier stock versions and try again but avoiding a wipe is my preferred solution (it results in less whining about me breaking her phone, not that she hasn't already started complaining....)
I had the same problem, but I also had the EnhancedGoogleSearch.apk installed. I uninstalled it, and that fixed everything.

Removing the enhanced google search seems to have fixed all my problems. Thanks!
3g disables when wifi tether activated
Ok so I have updated to ed01 and rooted my fascinate. Everything seems to be working ok except now when I try to connect my xoom or ipod touch using the WIFI Tether 3.0, it disconnects the 3g. Usually I have a red and green arrow under the 3g icon, but if I have wifi tether on, a dim "D" is under it instead, now I can connect to the wifi tether from both these items but they give me errors saying "NO internet connection" Has Verizon put some sort of block in the rom???. Also if I open the browser or market on my phone the 3g signal activates again, but still no internet to my xoom or ipod touch.

[Q] Wifi Problem on market

Well i installed after full wipe slade's rom for mini pro (v 2.5 with all hot fixes) and my problem is the WiFi. I'm connecting successful but when i'm going to download something from the market, the WiFi shows as connected but the download stuck and also it doesn't transfer any data (i tried to open a page in browser).
I tried:
Mac filtering from router for my phone
Changing Channel on router
put it as "Never Sleep" on the phone
Tried Blade's Wifi Fixer
What else can i do?
Thank you
Well on my ncollege wifi i can connect without rproblems.. But on my home is the problem.
So, you said yourself where the problem is - your home wifi
Not sure is market in v2.5 fixed because in v2 i can't install apps from market or update.
Well look.. I searched the entire forum here for "wifi problems on xperia 10 mini pro" and i found a ton of solutions. None of them worked (instead i screwed up my phone and i made a reflash again). Then i tried my last hope. Adjust a static IP on my phone. Now i can download form the market (but not angry birds though ). The only thing that i hate is that i must switch to "auto ip" whenever i leave my home.

Issues with Wireless Tether

I'm rooted and unlocked, running CleanRom...
Downloaded both Open Garden and Wireless Tether for root. Both aren't working. Open Garden crashes when I turn the wifi on. My phone is my only source of internet at my farm, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have gone through the settings and don't see anything out of the normal. WiFi is off on the phone. Does hotspot need to be on? If I turn the hotpot on will I incur the hotspotting charges? Again, any help would be great.
Check the development forum here, I don't have one yet, but they list what you need to do there.

Try TrevE Mod's app...works really well. Settings for the Note 2 are below.
Install WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012
Set Profile to Samsung Galaxy S3
Set Setup-Method to Netd-Ndc
Check Send Netd Max Client Cmd
Enable WiFi Encryption
Channel 01
Check WiFi-driver reload 2
Check Routing fix
All you need to do is activate the hotspot with a widget or a status bar icon & you won't be charged.
There are plenty of free widgets in the playstore + I believe that ROM already has a status bar icon.
Just get the portable hotspot toggle, it just uses the factory hotspot without the feature check. Works great.
Thanks for the replies.
The hotspot toggle that come with CleanRom doesn't work. Turns on bright green, fades to light green, and switches off.
TrevE installed, and profiting.
This is the link that I used for success.
Thanks again!
tried all the settings and links here and had no luck. Followed the instructions and modified tether in this link and it worked for me running stock rooted de-odexed.

[Q] ParanoidAndroid 3.97 Wifi Hotspot Error

I just installed the new Paranoid Android, and I cannot seem to get the Portable Hotspot to work. I was using the stock rom, and Verizon's 'Mobile Hotspot' worked flawlessly after using the SQLite hack. I have tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether for Root Users (which used to be my go-to, until it just stopped working after an update). I cannot get any of these to work, as Wifi Tether comes up with the error, 'Tethering started with errors, please check 'show log''. When I check the log, there is nothing in it.
Any ideas on what is going on here? It is almost as if there is a messed up driver somewhere, but I am not knowledgeable enough to figure it out. Like I said, I used to have it running perfectly one day, then it seemed like all of my tethering apps wouldn't work. I resorted to using the built in Mobile Hotspot, and it started working fine again.
Strange thing, I also paid for FoxFi, and even that wouldn't work, which I found very odd..

Yeah, literally everything else on the the phone works as new.
When I was having trouble with Wifi Tether for Root Users, Barnacle, and FoxFi, I tried a factory reset via the Droid Razr Utility and it didn't change a thing. One of the beta versions of Wifi Tether turned on with no errors, but I could not find the SSID once it was supposedly turned on. After using the stock Mobile Hotspot with the SQLite hack, it works perfectly. But, when I go to ParanoidAndroid, it uses a different type of 'Mobile Hotspot' app named 'Portable Hotspot', and it just gives me an error (but no details, justs says error under it and then greys itself out.

I had an issue with 3.69 Paranoidandriod and had to do the terminal emulator hack to get wifi to work and that also somehow fixed my tether. If you haven't yet also try to run a fix permission and see if that will take care of things. I will test mine (currently running 3.97 as well) and get back with you later to let you know what I found.
Just saw that there's an update to Paranoidandroid which is 3.98 and he posted that he fixed the wifi tethering. Try to update and see what that does for you. I tried to fix permission on versino 3.97 and it didn't help. I tried terminal emulator b/c my wifi stopped working and that did fix that issue.
I just loaded it up, and still nothing. Now, when I try to turn on the hotspot, it just keeps saying 'Turning hotspot on...' and doesn't change. I tried connecting and it still is nowhere to be seen.
Are there any instructions out there for the terminal hack method, or a way that worked for you?

[Guide] Root Wifi Tether for Z3v

Thanks to badjedi for pointing this out. I have verified that the X Tether module for the Xposed Framework will allow you to successfully tether using the stock app provided with the Z3v.
This is primarily for those of you who have a Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan with Verizon Wireless and would like to not have to pay for tethering while we wait for customs roms. I apologize in advance for not being able to post links. The required files are attached.
If you are not already rooted, please follow GigaSPX's guide on how to root your Z3v.
Please download and install wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Open the installed app and verify that Disable Update-Check is selected under settings
Press the big button to start tethering. Click grant when prompted for root access. The big button will turn yellow. Press it again to stop tethering. You will get a bunch of errors during this process, this is normal. This will install the required binaries and config files to /data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/
Restart your phone.
Verify that tether.edify is located in /data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/conf/ using root explorer or another file manager of your choice. If it does not exist repeat the above steps.
Replace tether.edify with my modified version located in the attached tether.7z archive.
You can now tether over wifi using this app.
NOTE:
Enable WiFi-Encryption does not work.
Enable Access-Control does work and can be used to prevent unauthorized access to your network.
Make sure under Advanced Wi-Fi in your system settings the option Scanning always available is checked.
I followed your steps exactly, but it doesn't seem to be broadcasting. I don't see a wifi signal from the phone on my computer or ipod, even though it says it is broadcasting. I've uninstalled the app, cleared the data, and reinstalled app using the procedure above twice. Any suggestions?

Answer:

Extra info:
This is needed because I haven't found the name of the wifi kernel module and this setting keeps the module loaded even when wifi is switched off. Also, if you are using windows 8.1 you may not be able to see and connect to an ad-hoc network without using the command prompt. For some reason Microsoft decided to remove this default functionality after Windows 7. Not relevant here but...It is the same for recent android kernels, no support to connect to ad-hoc networks through the Wifi settings without using shell commands.
I haven't had much time due to work, but I am certain infrastructure mode will work on this phone. I can't promise I'll get it done anytime soon though since work is going to be way to demanding for a couple months.
FYI, I've discovered that the Xposed mod X Tether works to enable the native hotspot without the entitlement check.

I sure would've loved if this discovery was made at least 2 weeks ago. The stupid entitlement checking wouldn't let me hotspot from a foreign sim card while I was in Thailand.
