Hello,
Has anyone gotten Wifi Tether for Root working on T-Mobile USA? What's the proper setting?
I've tried the native hotspot to no avail....doesn't work with T-Mobile USA.
Much appreciated.
I was able to connect without a problem. Be sure to choose..none on Security.
I would also really like to know the answer to this question. So are you saying you can't get any mobile hotspot app to work, like the native Xperia one won't work on T-mobile? I've pre-ordered an unlocked C6806 that I planned on using on T-Mobile's network. I'm already slightly bummed that I won't have the Tmobile wifi calling. I really hope there is a way to use mobile hotspot on my new C6806.
Hi, thank you for responding for quickly.
Can you further elaborate on all the Wifi Tether setting? Which "Device Profile" "Setup Method" etc...are you using?

I went to portable wifi hotspot settings...configure Network SSID (your username of the network).. Choose NONE on Security...then go back and enable Portable wifi hotspot...thats it. Btw, im on tmobile.

The provider doesn't matter here. Just modify settings as desired (better to put a password if you don't want other people to use it too) and run it. If it doesn't turn on as you want, you can for the first time need to reboot your phone and activate it again. Work very well,

I am still learning android...
I want to use tethering on my carrier in Venezuela, but when i try to enable hotspot it says i'm now allowed should call at&t and such... I know tethering and hotspot isn't the same, but i want to do the following:
-Enable personal hotspot on the phone to allow my laptop to connect to it and get connection (if somehow my home adsl connection drops and my phone is ok)
-Enable tethering over usb, so the battery doesn't suffer while being connected
I had to add my APN manually, a friend with the motorola milestone told me the apn name and settings and apn type is set on: default,dun
What are the possible values for this setting? I know from the tethering mod that it could be: default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether. By the way we don't have tethering plans down here, do i still need this tethering mod? Because i haven't installed it.
would appreciate any input from you guys. I have searched google and there doesn't seem to be much info about apn types

For WIFI tethering, have your phone rooted and to where you can side load, and try this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
or this http://www.mediafire.com/?yzerk3nglqof1kk
(Not sure if the'll work because they didn't for me, but they did for other Atrix users)
And for USB tethering, thats easy, and for sure works. Try either Easy Tether (my favorite) : http://www.mobile-stream.com/easytether/android.html
Or PdaNet: http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I managed to get this to work. I basically turned on hot spot then it loads up ands says connecting or something similar. Now put phone in flight mode. Then take out of flight mode. It should now connect. Worked for me. Im in the uk on hutchinson3.

Dear guys,
I am wonder if you guys can help me about Internet sharing from XPS to laptop via usb cable. Can I use the tethering function in setting or else?

i never relied on inbuilt tether function. i always used this
its pretty easy to setup & no rooting is required. till now i used with almost every kind of android version & with tablets also.
Easiest method I've found is to set up a wifi hotspot with the phone and use that.. No cable required!

In option enable hot spot, connect your laptop wirelessly to phone and that is that.

Doesn't that suck battery like hell on both devices?
You can use the wifi tether to share the connection. It is really easy to set up and no cable is required.The drawback is that it causes heavy battery drain. USB tether is also working fine. You will need cable to do it but this way you can even charge your battery while browsing. See what works better for you and use it.
My network prohibits tethering, but branded .62 has the feature inbuilt. So the question is, can they detect it?
You might want to consider the huawei e586 wifi hotspot. It can support 5 devices on wifi. Just add your 3g data sim card.
i have the concept of wifi hotspot (sharing the mobile data via WiFi), but it is different from tethering. The only way to get WiFi tether is to use apps that require root access?
Thanks!

i am on vodafone italy,
for the "normal" internet usage from the smartphone i use this APN: mobile.vodafone.it
for the tethering i should use this APN: web.vodafone.it
using the smartphone as hotspot wi-fi it not goes to "web.vodafone.it" but through "mobile.vodafone.it" only sharing the smartphone’s normal network
i notice this since with mobile.vodafone.it i pay 0,30€/100mb
with web.vodafone.it i pay 1€/500mb
yesterday i used my Xperia S as hotspot wi-fi and after the 100mb of usage i received an sms from vodafone telling me i used all my data.
Maybe this is only an italian thing or italian-vodafone-thing

yes, i understand this.
but maybe my provider has some problems: yesterday i did usb tethering via "easy tether" and i payed NOTHING using the apn: mobile.vodafone.it ...it is possible that the provider didn’t recognize my tethering activity neither the network access?

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
Flashed 5.0.1. Thanks stooges! Everything seems great but i cant get my tether to work. Does anyone have tether working on 5.0.1? If so what is settings? Thanks.
That maybe a bug I have it to and I can't get anything but here is a app that will give you free and unlimited tethering: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
Trust me when I say the price is worth it just do the settings he recommends:
For LG G3 using this config
Interface wlan0
Method 2
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
if not work
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECHED
Thanks goes to creator

Same for me. I've tried both sets of settings with no luck. Worked great until I flashed Lollipop last night.
apn method
Still no tether for me. I understand the apn method works for native hotspot although i cant confirm or get it working myself. This is a lollipop deal breaker for me as this is my only internet access. I have been rumming barepop but think im going to flash clean stock and try apn method 1 more time. If no luck i going back to zv6.
The hotspot hack works. Make sure you're saving the apn when you do it. And do it to both.
I can't get WiFi tether router to work either.
If you do the apn thing go to my unlock post and look in the apn setting I have a hack that may work.
Also sorry about the app not working I tried

Does the apn hack work on 3g? This is the only reason i can come up with for why i cant get it to work. Im on lte/cdma. Follow instructions exactly. When i turn on hotspot, 3g turns off then hotspot turns off. Then error pops up saying something network error then popul about info for hotspot subscription. Ive gone to youtube to watch method. Its easy idk what im missing.

I don't think that's an issue. But maybe.
I'm on the fringe of LTE so my signal bounces back and forth between LTE and 3G.
Theres a link in the top of the OP of the Hotspot hack I made. It's in the International thread on the same thing apparently. You might get some more help from there.

If you don't have the options in MORE go to your Mobil data area make sure you switch to global and see if they show up then.

I reinstalled the ROM and wiped everything just like that post said, and still didn't see any tether options. It wasn't until I did the ##RTN# on my dailer using my MSL number that it finally worked. So thank you for pointing me to that post.
Any progress on getting this to work? I have the sprint G3 rooted with the original rom but still having the data teathering error. I tried doing the shortcuts trick but it didnt work with the lite version.
Nevermind I got mine to work now. Took a couple reboots but the shortcuts method worked.
where is the option?

The T-820 is wifi. Are you asking to use it to Tether to another device, or using it to connect to the Internet via your phone? If it's the latter, you go into wifi settings and select your phone to connect to. You can't use it to connect other wifi devices as the T-820 doesn't have a cellular connection.

sorry, I wasn't clear.
there's no mobile in my test setup.
right now I have the lg v20 connected to the router/adsl via wifi.
Next, I create and enable a wifi hotspot on the v20.
the tab s3 connects to the hotspot and, finally, to the internet.
conclusion: the v20 did not have to disable its wifi to launch the hotspot..
thanks
Maybe describe your use case. What are you planning to tether TO the tablet.
The LG has a tether option because it has a wireless chip. The Tab does not have such a chip.
Most android Wi-Fi hotspots will shut off the Wi-Fi radio and provide internet through your wireless carrier. It would be unusual (useless?) for a phone to share the Wi-Fi signal it's using.

I tested succesfully the s8+ doing the same.
When using Share it to get pics from an iPhone (in the woods with no internet or Wi-Fi network) the SM T820 will not initialize a Hotspot. Is there a fix for this or an easy work around?
