Hello
I would like to use my galaxy s3 as wifi dongle.
I know you have to connect via wifi and then tether.
But this doesent always work.
Isn't there a better possibility? (Except easytether, connection is unstable. It sucks)
I am using a touchwiz based rom.
May an aosp rom help?
Thank you in advance

You want to use you're S3 to get internet on another device correct? If so I believe some people from CyanogenMod ate working on making it possible to use your phone as a Bluetooth dongle so you may be able to connect to your device that way.

Wifi hotspot tethering worked for me every time. In what way doesn't it always work?

Lets say it this way:
I plug in my galaxy.
Cinnect it to wifi.
Then i tether.
In the xp connection manafer it says cinnection established.
But even if i cant acces the internet it doesent work. Just sometimes after fourth or fifth time.
Or could it be an OS issue?

Hi, this happens to me all the time. Even when i was tethering with my previous phone (I9001).
I just turn on the data and tether through wifi and when i tried to use the internet it just wouldn't work.
If you wait around 2 to 3 minutes after u enabled both, it should work correctly (when the little yellow triangle from the wireless connection in the task bar disappears). I usually do not turn it on and off, i rather wait.
using it for wifi is tethering. no other way
Glebun your wrong.
It worked sometimes.
I reinstalled Windows and flashed an aosp rom on my s3.
Works like charm now.
Thank you all
What wifi adapters can i use with my s3 9300i cm14.1

Hello,
I used Barnacle Wifi tethering with my pc sucessfully before.
Now, after reformatting the computer, (the wireless adapter is obviously working as I'm using it right now), it tries to connect to the barnacle network but takes forever (basically it doesn't connect).
Tethering is crucial for me and any help is appreciative. Nothing has changed on my phone since it last worked with my pc. The only difference is that my pc has reinstalled windows 7 and has working wifi drivers.
how can I fix this?
Thanks so much!
Try flashing a froyo rom. Comes with wireless tethering installed.called. Mobile AP. Works great. I'm using Axura Voodoo Rom and getting 5.21mg download speeds. Also has USB tethering installed too.

Thanks for the reply, but I was wondering more of what was wrong on the pc side.
Is there some driver I'm missing?
I was able to use EasyTether via USB to tether but it was so much slower (other things being constact) than my Barnacle Wifi tethering.
Why can't I connect to barnacle?
Do I need kies installed?
BUMP. This is still a major issue for me.
I installed Bionix's latest rom and it still doesnt work.
Froyo USB tethering doesn't work (drivers installed sucessfully on my windows 7 pc)
Barnacle Wifi doesn't work (it takes forever while "connecting" and never ends up connecting to the phone)
Any help is greatly appreciated!

With the Bionix 1.3 I can verify that wifi tether does work I use it everyday. Are you seeing your phone listed as an AP when seraching for wireless connections?

For Barnacale Wifi I am assuming you are talking about:
What is AP?
I see it listed as a wireless internet connection (in windows 7, its a icon of 3 computers) and I click to connect.
It tries and tries but never connects to it for some reason.
However, before my PC reformat, it connected to barnacle wifi just fine.
I can confirm that there are no problems with my wifi on my pc.
And I really appreciate you getting back to me.
hi...i usually connect my lg optimus 2x to PC with USB and use computer's internet connection (reverse USB teethering). but i want to know if its possible to force telephone that it thinks that it is connected to wi-fi, while using 3g data connection. i want use that especially when games want to download data over the wifi...
If your device is rooted, you could get a wireless hotspot app from the market, start the hotspot on your phone, then connect to it (connect your device to itself ).
I don't think you can connect to your own hotspot.

tried but its not working..i think that androids dont support wifi multitasking like iphones do,so they cant receiving and teethering connection at the same time..

Actually you can. I've said that before to other people who wanted to download gameloft data and for some other purposes which require wifi, and it worked.
I want to do this too.... but the Mobile Hotspot app on my phone turns off WiFi if it is one, and if I turn on Wifi while Mobile Hotpsot is on, it disables the Hotspot.
Any other solution ? An app maybe ? A tweak ?
what wifi hotspot app was used?.. and to the OP, how did you reverse tether via usb?

You can use this to reverse tether: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345.
On my desire you can have activated only wirelles or only hotspot, i think the same wirelles adapter is used for it, so it wouldnt be possible.

How? I've been searching for a workaround to this for some time now.
Please tell me how...
I have a rooted Bionic, Eclipse ICS 4.0.4. I use FoxFi Full version for my hotspot. I need my phone to connect to the mobile hotspot it's currently transmitting. (I think that's what I need)
Why? I want an advanced ability to monitor who is using my mobile hotspot, using DroidSheep to monitor what they're using the connection for. Trouble is, DroidSheep (And al similar programs) only work if the phone (with the app) is actually connected to the wifi network. It won't work if it's the one transmitting the signal.

You just have one wifi Modul it can be a hot spot or it can be connected to a Router.
Both together isn't possible.
Else you could also use it as wifi repeater

Ok maybe its just me not finding this out till right now but you can Pair your Phone to your Tablet, then in Settings hit Internet access via tether and Bam !!
Internet Access !! Not rooted
Figure I pass this along to those that dont know.. Free interwebs !!
Yup. 10char
Paired my galaxy s II to my tablet through bluetooth. I enabled bluetooth tethering but still can't get an internet connection. Under bluetooth settings it says next to the galaxy s II - Paired but not connected
you have to hit the little wrench next to it and go to enable internet access
hmm the wrench gives me -
xxxxx options
Rename Device
Unpair
Pofiles
xxxxx being the name of my phone and nothing underneath profiles
if able to, use wifi tethering instead. BT slowestof tethering methods. but if wifi won't work, BT is better than no connection at all. Barnacle or Wifi Tether are good apps to use. phone with internet connection needs root for it to work. so o guess if your phone not rooted and BT tether works, its better than nothing. lol

its decent. if you do a speedtest.net comparison of the 2 tethering methods, wifi always alot faster. BT is good though. as long as you able to tether, that's all that matters, no matter the method used.

I have a galaxy s2 with juggernaut rom but it doesnt work. maybe it's not for all phones
i can pair it as you said but I can't get on the internet. It takes me to the Verizon tether page telling me I have to pay for tethering. I have a rooted Droid X but don't have any tethering apps installed. I thought for a minute you found a way around this.

Wow that sucks its not working for any of you..
My Droid X is rooted but I am not using any of those and nothing asked for Superuser access
Not sure why it works for me. I have Wifi off and Just Bluetooth on
I connect both of them and it says they Paired but not connected, Then I click the wrench next to them and choose Use for internet access..it says connected
then I go right to google.com and it just works
I have the latest updates from Asus also
Works with my droid 2!
I had to press the wrench next to it and turn internet access off and back on again before it kicked in.
Now I want to upgrade to a 4G phone even more...
You have to be rooted and have a kernel that supports wifi tether. Thenn you have to run a .zip patch through the recovery screen just Google your device and include wifi tether and/or patch. There are hundreds of how to writeups.

Or use Bluetooth for the lucky few that it works for, no need for rooting or patching etc etc

easy solution then. if u rooted already, just Google the wireless tethering apk and Barnacle apk. and you should be able to tether over wifi without having to pay for the plan. as long as you have a data connection and don't go overboard on the tethering like doing huge downloads n such.
Yeah I know I can install the apk's and make it work but I am a little afraid of getting caught and losing my grandfathered unlimited data plan. I read once where they can see that you are tethering since the MAC address of the device using the data is embedded in the transmission or something like that.
Any Verizon phones successfully connected?
If you have a Verizon phone and can bluetooth tether please say which model you have. I unfortunately bricked my HTC Incredible trying to follow some convoluted process for downgrading and then rooting.
So, yeah, I have to get a new phone and would like to know which one I should get that will allow me to bluetooth tether without rooting.
BTW, I am getting really frustrated with Android and the tweaking, hacking, and manipulating just to get functions to work. I don't have an Apple bone in my body, but I envy them for ease of use.
is there a way to Tether pc internet on android phone using usb and then use the phone as a wifi router or hotspot.

That would be awesome, you could have a wifi router everywhere with you (as long as you don't forget to take the usb cable with you), just connect with the usb to a PC that has broadband, and then use the phone's wifi as a dongle.
I am currently in a situation that i would use something like that seeing that i have forgotten my dongle at home.
phone tether
There are a couple of different ways to tether your phone to your pc. One way is to use an app called PDA net, you can get your phone and computer setup through their website in about 2-3 minutes, super easy to use and you don't need to root your phone, the down side is unless you pay for the pro version all "https", secure sites, will only be accessible for a week. If you decide to root or have already rooted, you can download a number of different apps that give you the ability to use your phone as a hot spot without paying monthly to your provider.

=> use this app called FoxFi..its not on the google store..download it from internet..with this u can use the connection to tether via bluetooth in all devices..though, wi-fi routing works only in few..if it doesnt work..then first try this app to reverse tether(Reverse Tether build.2012.04.05.paid - torrents) and then use FoxFi..reply if it works or not..
AT&T detected my foxfi tethering and will now charge me for a 5g tethering package if I continue to use it. Greedy.... What does it matter if I tether? Bunch if nazis...

Guys have any of you u shared your laptops internet connection to the phone? via WiFi or a USB cable? Im sure a smartphone of this generation should be able to do something like this but Im just not able to figure how.
I have an unlimited Internet connection on my PC so it would be nice if I could get the same on my mobile for browsing when home.
Please help.
Not to the phone, but from the phone.
Not sure how you would turn your laptop into a hotspot?
Set up an Ad-Hoc wireless network on your laptop.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
Well, tried ad-hoc, it dint work. Tried connectify, that dint work either.
Then got to know about the windows program mhotspot from mhotspot.com. It has turned my laptop into a virtual wifi hotspot through which my mobile can connect to the net through.
Good for those who have a limited or slow data connection on their phone.
connectify works in my laptop
Connectify works perfectly fine for me too... What error do you get, mate?
any tutorial for conectify? noob sorry
