You are asking a question in the wrong forum .
Do you have mobile data enabled?

I don't know for sure but i think that you can't get internet from wireless and at the same time use wireless tethering. If you want to tether via wireless you have to get internet from mobil data.

I think it's impossible. When you in tether mode your phone using Internet connection through the mobile data.

I just bought my S3 not too long ago and have noticed that I can't seem to tether to my MacBook Pro under OS X, but it seems to work fine under Windows. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and if there was a fix? Loving the phone but it's really a deal breaker for me if this is a consistent issue. Thanks!

What do you mean by "tether" ? Are you trying to get network connection going through the S3 on your mac via USB tether? Or are you talking about file transfer?

Hello all. I was wondering if I could share my computers internet with my phone. My computers hooked up with ethernet so it would be nice if I could share that connection with my Note. Thank you.
Depends, there's tethering and there's reverse tethering...
To connect to the internet on PC using the phone's cell towers, I use EasyTether
I mean reverse tethering, I tried an app and it didnt work and I tried setting up an ad hoc connection and that didnt work either
This is what I found to work best...

Not sure but i know you can use your phone to tether to your pc.. So your pc would be using your phones 3g connection

As above. There's an option in more settings beneath bluetooth to provide wifi hotspot using your phone's network connection. Set that up, and connect your pc to the hotspot.
It would only give you the speed you can get on your phone though. No broadband connection but usable.

hi everyne,
Im using a rooted vibrant (vanir rom) with unlimited data plan for almost a year now but 75 percent im using a home wifi per month.
1.Can Tmobile detect from my account if i suddenly use a wifi tethering service from a 3rd party app for my tablet?
2. whats a good wifi tethering app that is noy detected by tmbobile?

The only thing they can detect is that you use much data traffic in short time and has many connections opened. I don't know if they use normally a sniffer. If they do it, they could see depends on the data and signature, that it is not from a mobile phone.

So, I'm running OC5 OTA update, rooted of course, and have Hotspot working with the APN dun addition (not Galaxy Tools). Is there any way to keep Hotspot from turning itself off when I get a call while on a 3G network? Id like to keep it running until I choose to turn it off, regardless of the state of mobile data. See attached screenshot.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Looks like it's not letting me attach my screenshot. See it here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/73ot1zhyjhtnvrs/AABxxLdUh2USUIpwIddj3c0Ra

Not on 3g, just lte and Wi-Fi.

This. Only lte and Wi-Fi does your connection remain on, on 3G it disconnects.

Maybe I'm being misunderstood. I know data and voice don't work at the same time on 3G. I want the Hotspot to remain on, even without a data connection so the clients that are connected don't lose their connection to each other. Yes, I realize that they cannot connect to the interwebs but I use the Wifi AP to stream Plex from one device to another and it's a pain to reconnect and start the stream over. My kids also use it to play games together on their iPads.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My understanding is that if the data connection is lost, then hotspot turns off by itself. I'm not sure if I've ever seen any way to change this.
One thing you could do is use tasker or automate it to setup rules to turn it back on when your phone call has ended.

I'll give that a try. I don't recall it being that way prior to LP or on my S4. Oh well, thanks for the suggestion!
