Hey everybody,
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) running 4.1.1 on CyanogenMod, However this question pertains to multiple handsets across all of the carriers.
If you've ever tried to set up a VPN or other secure WiFi connection (802.1x) you'll notice that android then makes you secure your lock screen either via a PIN or a pattern lock.
My question is, is there a way to disable this requirement while maintaining the connection configuration? I have root and terminal access.
Any Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
CMNDR
I don't think so...it's up to the ROM...

Which would make me think that it could be changed via cmd line. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Hello all,
I currently have the iPhone 4 and I hate it. I want to move up to the S3 but the only thing preventing me puling the trigger is tethering.
Currently I have a jail broken iPhone and MyWi installed for free tethering. Is there an alternative to MyWi for the S3? Can a rooted S3 be a WiFi hotspot (Infrastructure not AdHoc)?
Thanks in advance,

Rooting an android phone allows you tether without most carriers noticing.
Depends on carrier also

Ok, awesome answer!
Here is another question. Is there a TuT out there to root and tether? Is it AdHoc or Infrastructure? I need infrastructure as my stock Nook can not connect to AdHoc.
Thanks in advance.
Open Garden Tethering is amazing for a rooted phone. Kinda slow (but that's because my LG Ally is slow, and it only has 3G)
My phone has tethering built in as stock and yes it is infrastructure. My phone is from the UK if that affects your question
Some carriers in some countries like to remove or restrict the tethering option. If you're not in such a country then tethering ie. Portable Hotspot is available by default in Android. There is not need to root or install any special app.
When activated your phone will appear as a regular wireless network, ie. infrastructure.
@JSale i am awesome?
in addition we've set up a network on a demonstration with 10 sgs3 on the same tethered connection, so clients number is not limited to 5 like it was on sgs2
sorry, the language is hungarian

I think it may. Knowing the nickle and dime mentality of the US Carriers, I can see them disabling that function in the OS.
If it is built into the OS and then disabled by the carrier could a Rooted Device be re-enabled?

Has anyone had any issues with tethering with the S3? Used to have a GalaxyS on the Three network and it was fine. Got the S3 and it constantly drops net access. Connection between the phone and my laptop is fine, but there are issues with DNS server etc. and on the same network. had a new handset yesterday after advice and help from Three and Samsung and still the exact same issue.
They seem clueless. Does anybody have any idea what the issue could be and has anyone else had the same problem? Tethering via wifi hotspot or usb cable is the same.
Sorry, maybe I should mention that tethering is allowed on my plan.
Does anyone have any idea at all please?
anybody? anyone else had this issue?
i'm having issues with tethering.
If i set security to open it seems to be ok. With any level of security my windows 7 pc cannot connect via wifi.
i've read comments on other forums regarding problems with this.
I've not been able to test out my S3 tethering on 3 yet. Have you had any luck since? I have noticed that the connection while surfing on the phone keeps dropping though.

If you use an International Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) on AT&T you can tether for free anyway. You can also get away with paying $10 a month for Unlimited Internet.
No need for root. Tethering is already built into the menus.
Had to return the phone and cancel my contract in the end. Three uk say it's a software issue with samsung. I have flagged it with samsung.

Wireless tethering (called portable Wi-Fi hostpost in the settings) worked fine on my international unlocked phone out of the box (no rooting, installing apps, etc.). I'm a bit frustrated I can't connect to AdHoc networks though, but that's an android issue. At least I found a way to use my home computer's internet on the phone via usb with 'reverse tether'.
Tethering the S3
I seem to be having the same problem when tethering using the security option under ONLY ALLOWED DEVICES,
Security is configured under WPA, WPA PSK, and WPA2PSK, i get as far as adding these settings to the ALLOWED ONLY LIST, but when you go to connect on the Wi-Fi screen, and where it says Only Allowed Devices, it says NO DEVICES,
And so the only way to make it works is by using the OPEN option, but be warned this will allow outside users to tap in to your network.
Contacted Samsung on three occasions up to today, all they would confirm was that using the OPEN setting would compromise your security, ive asked them to confirm that the security Only Allowed option does actually work in real time , ive asked them to configure it at their end and tell me the step by step method.
will report back what they say.
I did take the phone back to the shop to get them to configure this secure setting, they failed and said try and cope with the open setting for now.
Reading the above posts that Three have said its a software problem doesnt sound good, sounds like im going to have to return mine as i do internet banking.
any news that you guys have on this aspect would be wellcome.
Cheers,
PS, i should say i am tethering to a Sony Vaio windowes 7
Hi,
I am very seriously considering getting a Galaxy S III.
My last journey into Andriod was with an HTC Hero and since then I've had a Blackberry and then iPhone. I like to rotate techs...
Previously with my HTC Hero I seem to remember being unable to set a static IP address for the wireless setup. Is that still an issue with this platform - just want to know in advance ?
If it is, is there any workarounds or anything I can download to fix this ?
Thanks.

Static IP is possible, I'm using one now
Its configurable in the wifi settings.

Excellent - thank you - and that is on the standard factory build ?
Whole galaxy series allows you to set static IP while setting new WiFi connection. I suppose all android phone's can do this (didn't they ?, at least all high-end models I had).

It appears that NO one is able to tell me whether an i545 S4 is capable of wifi tether and how to do it. Nor can I find a decent explanation regarding the root capabilities of same. Did the switch from the 9505 versions to the i545 have a dramatic affect on Developer options? And if so are steps towards a fix in place at this time. I have left multiple messages and received no response. None of it was on this forum that's why I'm asking here, cause you seem to be the most organized and well informed I have found. I used Kingo root and have root access but I'm unable to wifi tether. Is there anything out there that I can download to enable Wi-Fi tether on this device.
Thank you,
Sincerely
Michael S Bauges
Try downloading power toggles from the play store and switching on the hotspot from from your notification toggle bar.

Ok, the problem before was it would say "checking for subscription status" . Then it would say " error, no connection available". I'm a give it a try and hope for the best, thanks
Unwanted lock pattern
I have another problem you might be able to help me out with. I downloaded Foxfi trying to get Wi-Fi tether and it required me to put a password screen lock in the form of code in order to use it after I found out the wifi didn't work I deleted it but the pass word screen lock remains and I don't want it. Thanks again for your help!
No luck

I tried 3 different toggles, SVTB USB tether lite, power toggles, and hotspot toggle. When activated each of them first does a subscription check and then turns the toggle off.
Keep losing my Google account after connecting to wifi
If your on version MJ7 or MK2 here is a link to a thread where you can enable thether provioning on the I545 (assuming you have a rooted phone)

Hi everyone, I got very desperate about this one..
Whenever I turn on Portable Hotspot (WiFi) on my Android 5.1.1, there's always other device that connected to my Hostspot, I managed to get that thief device using Fing..
I change the Hotspot password (I always use very strong password) but after some hours that device is connected again..
How can I restrict number of connected devices or only allowing specific MAC Adrress in Android Lollipop 5.1.1..? It's very annoying that Lollipop doesn't have option for this things.. Is there any 3rd party apps or some way to ban/allow certain MAC addresses..?
And why is that so easy hack a WiFi security WPA2PSK..?
Thanks,
Huh, WPA2 getting cracked that easily?
That is distressing, any insight as to what sort of device it is? I would lock everything down if I had a hacker that obsessed with my hotspot heh.

His device is Samsung (Young 2 if I not mistaken).. Well, that's what I want to ask here, how to lock down "everything"..? Do I really need to change the password everyday..? If only I can restrict who can connect to my Hotspot by MAC address, it will be enough..
Up..
No one know any apps or anything to manage connected devices on Hostspot..?

I am new to this tsk world and I have a android 5.1 moto g running peregrine could you give me some advice on how to root my phone and the process I need to follow and I am looking for a good app so my phone will connect to any WiFi whilst I'm on the go pls help and thanks very much in advance.?
Hi
Can someone describe please what is required to do on this phone to disable 'network aware' flag when phone is used as hotspot? As I understand the phone needs to be rooted first. It should be possible then to change a config file somewhere so that if anything is rooted via phone's hotspot it make is invisible to network. Is there an app available which can do it.
Thanks
Sister has 4Gig data but network does not allow it to be used as hotspot. Hence the question

I am able to use the mobile data enabled hotspot without any issues
Hi
Thanks for reply. That is probably because your network provider is allowing you to use your data as hotspot. Hence not blocking traffic from other users via your phone. However, there is a way to remove a flag on other users traffic so it cannot be identified as comming from another device. It is part of OS config
That is what I am after
I know it is an old message but still not able to resolve this. Does the phone need to be rooted? Did not want to loose auto updates but if that is what it take I will have no options. I was hopping there are programs outthere which can do it without a root.
anyone?
change ttl to 65.
there are apps to do it easily.
