Cannot tether my I9305 UK

Is anyone having problems tethering their UK S3 lte. Tried a ton of apps and just can't do it. I've only installed CWM and rooted. Nothing else. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks

As soon as I turn it on it switches back off. Are you completely stock. No mods at all?

I have pre-rooted and deodexed rom found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570) installed on my UK (bought from t-mobile) S3 LTE and tethering works a treat.
Ive got quite abit of different mods on mine practically like a new rom and tether also works great obviosly if we have that option then it should work and if it doesnt its either a software bug , network, or faulty phon. Or even the other device thats connecting to it.

Contact your service provider | by calling 150, and perhaps option 4 for technical support, as EE may have this option disabled for you by default, I have yet to check if mine works because i just ordered this as an upgrade (Everythings Unlimited!) for only £41 a month LOL
i am tethering right now and i am shocked as it is very fast even tho i am near the ocean and bushland./Lake but i am on 3G , as there is no 4g coverage out here yet. You would spin out if you knew where i was . Its 12am I am in front of a MASSIVE lake in a tent near the bush and just to see if i could, i hooked up my mini netbook up to my i9305 and all i can say is AWESOME i have now been on a stable connection for 1 hr. who needs a hardwire connection when you have a S3
Hehe i better get off now and get back to the nature haha. cya

I had an iPhone before and just downloaded a tether app from cydia and away I went. Just assumed it would be the same

There is a way around it i saw in i9300 a dev made a work around. I just cant remeber what thread it was inn or wat dev it was.i think it was his own work around he didnt advertise it because it was an offtopic thread was about something else and it lead into tethering . Do a search if ios has something we must aswel lol

I can use Bluetooth tethering but not WiFi. All that happens is I switch it on and then it says switching off and shutdown it off

APN?
That's what I was thinking, do I just need to put in a tmobile APN?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
If you look around on here I believe someone posted the Tmob APN settings you need to use. Can't remember where exactly. It should be stickied.
Here ya go. Post #7 One of those apns should work for you.

Do you have 2G for 3G or LTE on the T-Mobile network?

Lol
4G is not possible in the S3 unless you buy the LTE version.
Make sure you have a plan for 3G and in settings, the network mode is auto.
Also a place where you can get 3G connections.

Have you looked at the apn settings?
There is nothing there it's empty
Sent from my SGH-T879 using xda premium
That is a problem then. You need to have something in there to get Data. Since it is e,Pty that is why you are not getting data. Get the proper APN settings for the provider.

International use?

I'm planning on going to Singapore and vietnam . can I just pop in their sim card there to use, or do I need to unlock the phone somehow? Are their LTE compatible with ours, or will I be on 3g?
Thanks in advance.

There are a few similar questions and answers here if you search for them. Sounds like it will work. But I have no experience to speak from.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I can confirm that it works. I'm currently in Russia and using SIM from on of the local carriers it works perfectly, but you have to add APN manually in order for mobile internet to work.
Thanks. Any instructions on how to set the sim? Does lte work there or is it 3g.
