[Q] Wi-Fi tethering - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im still running ICS 404 on my S3, i use wifi tethering all the time, ive tried a couple of jellybean roms only to discover that tethering doesnt work, the connection is bugged and laggy and drops constantly, does anyone know a fix for this or a way around this issue.

Have you tried omega (sammy) rom? I was using it from v32 and never had a problem with tethering.

well thats an option but i do wish to stay JB stock if poss, so if anyone has a fix for the tethering issue please get in touch

I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with stock roms.. I'm not sure which ones you tried but if it works on omega, I'm sure it works on stock. Try the latest LLA firmware?

I am having the same problem. I am on ICS IMM76D UCLE2 Base - Stock, Rooted, Deodexed + FJ-Mod.
Very anxious to hear thoughts/solutions.
that was happening to me a lot the first couple months i had the note, no matter what Rom.
I heard they were upgrading the towers in my area when i bought the phone, and attributed it to that, and what do ya know, a couple weeks ago i get lte and that problem went away.

Well I went back to stock with the le radio and not one single issue. So wondering if its rom related now that I think about it I didn't have that problem on the collective Rom either

Best GB ROM?

Hey everyone,
I'm noticing a bad loss of connectivity on my Note, currently running Black Star using Blaze 4G modem (was on UVLK1 before). It seems like it keeps losing signal, the bars are there, the '4G' is there, but it won't communicate. No texting, no web, no calls (they disconnect immediately). Both modems are doing this.
The only way I am getting around it is to pull the battery + SIM, put back and reboot. That is only a temporary fix as the problem returns. I did not notice this when I first bought the phone (used), and it was running stock GB.
What is the best GB ROM out there now? I am really desperate to try anything and would like to flash a different ROM next...I would try CM9 but I heard there is no S-Pen with it since AOKP.
Thanks!
Flappjaxxx's will prolly be your answer. You want a semi,well mostly stock rom with everything working then this is it.

This is the one rom that since I've put on my phone I've never taken off in case I had a problem...I know its there and keeps me from worrying

sharky got it...
but i'd like to suggest that you try flashing the stock GB UCLA1 modem, and try it out with the ICS Rom.
I've had great success using this modem on virtually all of the ICS roms i've tried...
It can be found in the "note everything" thread, or in the first few posts of Flappjaxxx rom i believe..
It is a CWM zip file, so no odin or kies is needed.
Here it is....

Good luck, and happy flashing......g
No better GB ROM than Saurom 7.1.

If you need S-Pen then go FlapJaxxx' Samsung ICS build. Forget about GB and welcome the new smoothness.

Wifi Issues

Ever since I installed 4.1.2 XXELLA, I have been having issues with my wifi. It never connects to a wifi access point and I have to keep turning wifi on and off to make it work, and sometimes once I turn off my wifi it reboots my phone. If anyone has a solution I would be most appreciative. If I cant figure this out I am going back to ICS.

Wifi is kernel so try a different kernel .
Its not a JB problem .
jje
try a different kernel
Thanks guys, tried a different kernel, stock one was rubbish.

WiFi won't connect after flashing Roms

Hello, I have had my phone for about a week now. I bootloader unlocked using HTC Dev and now s-off with moonshine. I am on stock rooted ROM with the latest software version. Every time I flash a new ROM, everything works but WiFi. Networks show up and everything and it tried to connect but it doesn't. Am I forgetting to flash something? I am using the latest version of TWRP and even tried Clockwork. WiFi won't connect with either recovery.

I also forgot to mention that I do a full wipe also. Data, dalvik, cache, and system.

What ROM's have you flashed? Did you have this issue when you were stock? If so you may have a hardware issue.
Also, stay away from ClockWorkMod, as it can be problematic on the EVO LTE.
Everything works fine on stock. I have flashed CM 10.2, Evervolv, Vanir AOSP, Avatar, and maybe a few others i can't remember. Everything seems fine when I flash, except the wifi issue. I was thinking maybe it was a kernel issue, but I don't think so now.

You can try toggling airplane mode on and off, and try to connect. Not much else I can think of. WiFi always seems to be a little wonky on AOSP, at least for me, anyhow, but I can always get it to work.
I will try that, thanks. Will report back. I remember I had to do that a few times on another device to get WiFi working properly.

There might be some patches available for that... so checkout the developer's page and also view their changelog in order to make sure that its not a bug....

I just flashed Evervol again and tried the airplane mode toggle trick. It still didn't connect. I am going to do more research and will get back with you all.

By chance do you have ATT Uverse? Just curious if yours is the same issue. My phone will only connect/disconnect to wifi when it wants to. I only have that problem on AOSP roms though, not on Sense roms.
I have been searching the last couple hours researching and still can't find the problem. I am trying to flash AOSP Roms. I will try a Sense rom and report back. Thanks, you guys..

You could also try flashing stock which you said worked then restore your aosp backup without turning WiFi off just a thought

i've done a bunch of reading on 4.1.2 and see that its laggy. Can someone tell me if 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 is better as a stock rom?

4.0 is probably better on everything, cause its older, better battery too. But not as many bells and whistles. A lot of the lag can be eliminated just by disabling ripple effect on lock screen. The remaining with Trickster. I know you don't like to read too much, but if you went to p355 - 378 in Padawan thread, all lag issues (for most) disappeared. My phone never ran better. I've gotten comfortable with bells and whistles though. Stock is very bland for me now.

Sounds like modem issue. Try flashing a separate modem on top of. Don't know what other 2 ROMs you flashed? Not sure what the effect would be, but Padawan doesn't need gapps.
But I would check modem
