Worked for me, too! I think it was just clearing the settings that the 3rd party tethering apps had set.

1) uninstalled wifi tether and barnacle

2) Installed ClockworkMod Recovery (I didn't have a recovery installed, even though I was rooted)

3) cleared cache and Dalvik cache

4) reboot

5) Tried native USB tethering first (which I had never tried and didn't know about)- worked

6) Tried wifi tethering on my computer- worked

7) Tried wifi tethering with another android phone- the wifi name came up as something weird after connecting, but it worked.after a few seconds

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hachamacha:
A question for anyone using the JB built-in hotspot rather than the now non-working (yet) wireless tether:

Q: Do any of you who have gotten it to work happen to have the old unlimited Verizon data plan (like me), and if so, does it work or put up a screen of some sort?

I've not yet installed JB yet (just got the phone yesterday) so am curious about getting tether working before I flash out of ICS.

Thanks much --
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeylanHalfdan:
I still have unlimited data plan on Verizon using the built in WiFi tether. It has always worked just fine, no screens pop up with a warning or anything. Use it on my iPod all the time, and my friends laptop the other day, as the free WiFi at my work is slower than my 4g.

I am not stock jelly bean though, I am running Fruits 'N Vegetables 007 as stated in my signature.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hachamacha:
That's good to hear. Thanks for the quick reply. I was starting to think this was only for share plan users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeylanHalfdan:
I remember reading somewhere that Verizon can see that you are using the tether, and they might charge for it if they catch you. I have not gotten my first bill since switching to jelly bean with the tether though, so I am not sure if it is true or not.

wifi_tether_v3_2-pre2.apk

This version works fine for me on GNex stock rooted Jelly Bean.

I can't link it as a new poster, but you can find it by googling the filename.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Verizon can no longer stop you from tethering. They were sued for trying to make people pay a fee to tether using their data. I use wifi tether for root users, change device profile in settings to your model, and I also check routing fix towards the bottom of the settings. Works perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Mine tells me: "Error If you would like to subscribe to Mobile Hotspot/Mobile Broadband Connect, call:" then gives me numbers for likely verizon customer service...

I haven't rooted yet because I don't see much of a reason. Even less so if wifi-tether isn't working either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
That's odd, they shouldn't be doing that. Here's a link about it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Oh, I saw lots of those articles. I don't know why it's being blocked on my phone but not on others'. I installed the OTA leak when it came out originally, but they're all the same build numbers, file names, sizes, and even links.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nearlyhorizontal:
Just agree to the dialogue and it will work

I just got the VZW 4.0.4 -> VZW OTA 4.1.1 update yesterday and when I tried the AP, I got prompted for a 29 dollar charge. Obviously by law they cannot charge me, so I just clicked the button that says agree. It said "provisioning" and started working within seconds. I have used the built in hotspot while rooted and while testing JB and it has always worked flawlessly for me.

Of course I will set up an alert to check the bill next month to keep VZW honest, but this seems to be the easy way. Cheers to "open access" rules.... way to go FCC, a good use of taxpayers funds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PeetaMellark:
I am a noob and spend most of my time reading on XDA. Like most of you, I updated to JB and no more Wi-Fi tether. I used foxfi As it dis not require root and it was free and worked flawlessly; however, after jb update it no longer works. Is there an app that anyone uses that does not require root? I didn't want to root my GNex but will if absolutely necessary.

Thanks.

Why don't you guys just remove the provisions in the framework and use the built in tether?

You can activate the stock WiFi tether via a widget like switch pro or elixir 2. Seems to bypass the checking for subscription prompt.

Wifi tether not working with leaked jelly bean on samsung gs3

I flashed the leaked version of jelly bean on my sprint samsung gs3 yesterday and now my wifi tether will not work. I have tried everything! The native tether in JB is only good for bluetooth tether, which doesn't work either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I just go back to ics?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mgamerz:
What about the GSM model? I just bought it, and hope to use the built in tethering on AT&T. I don't have unlimited, but they shouldn't care if I tether with a capped plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mastrik:
I'm on the stock JB, rooted, and the wifi tether app in the Play Store works fine for me, I use it very sparingly though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:
I'm using AOKP JB B3 on my VZW GNEX and for some reason my Wireless Tether speeds have dropped down to well under 1Mb/sec but my upload speeds are between 3-6Mb. The weird thing is that USB Tether works great!

I haven't tried AOKP ICS M6 or going back to full stock just yet since I rely on the phone for work, but has anyone experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bragginz:
I have this same issue, and it's driving me a little nuts. I'm used to run an ICS Paranoid Android ROM (Franco kernel) on my VZW Galaxy Nexus, and my LTE WiFi tether speeds were off the charts. Since upgrading to the latest JB Paranoid Android ROM, my wifi tether works... but the speeds are only around 400kb/sec download, even on LTE! I used to get between 12~15MB/sec on the older ICS ROM. I wonder if the kernel has anything to do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:
I think something got wonky with the proxy settings because I found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966418 - Edit: Basically requires you to install FilterProxy which is free in the Play Store.

In my searching and I can't believe it, but it worked and it's an easy fix. The only 3 downsides I've found so far were 1) You have to disable the proxy server whenever you're not tethering and 2) Outlook doesn't seem to send/receive when FilterProxy is enabled and 3) the ping times are very high - well over 300ms. I may mess around with the "ALLOW" list but for now but most of the speed is back: Between 4-7Mb/sec.

The other weird thing it only affects my laptop. My Transformer tablet seems to work just fine and I'm going to test the PS3 tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:
Just to add to the above, I solved the Outlook problem by using the "Bypass" option on FilterProxy which now allows me to send and receive with no issues. The high ping times are due to it being held up by the proxy, I'm guessing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wheelna:
How?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:
It's a button that says "Bypass" as soon as you open VPN Proxy.

I'd still love to know why, in my experience, it only seems to affect Win7 Machines and only in JellyBean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johall07:
Did yourpvone stay connected to 4g? Whenever I use and form of tether, built in or app, it kills my 4g and automatically puts me down to 2 bars on 3g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:

That shouldn't be happening. It shouldn't affect your LTE signal strength in any way.

IMHO: This is definitely a Win7 issue as it seems all other operating systems work fine, mobile or othereise. (Note: I'm finally going to test it on osx tonight)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:
OSX, Asus Transformer, iPhones, iPads, WinXP... I've tested out everything I've come into contact with and Win7 - without Filter Proxy - simply will not WiFi tether post ICS greater than .5 mb/s. USB tether is fantastic - but that's it.

Just wanted to ask, what are the major differences in Tango over Mango? Is it really worthwhile to update to Tango via custom roms?

I am still on Mango.
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
It depends on if you're suffering from the disappearing keyboard glitch, or would like more options for stuff to send via MMS. Tango is a very minor update; it's main purpose is to enable lower-end devices to run WP7.

I am trying to edit the color of the status bar clock. I have already tried editing styles.xml in SystemUI.apk.. why is this not working?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] mrvirginia:
it could be part of the tw framework. either way, a lot of stuff that would normally change stock ICS won't be the same here since Samsung has modified it with their overlay.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] alacrify:

decompile either the framework-res.apk or twframework-res.apk... look under the res folder maybe.. i know i saw a "statusbar" folder in there somewhere. gonna take some smali edits to do it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] kyan~:
is there a way to change to certain color?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Wildchld:
Color for Clock

1. Decompile SystemUI.apk

2. Goto: /res/values/

3. edit styles.xml

4. the style you want is "<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon">"

5. change "<item name="android:textColor">#ff33b5e5</item>" under this style (this is android blue, change at will)

6. save and recompile

Remove AM/PM

1. Decompile SystemUI.apk

2. Goto: /systemui.apk /smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy

3. edit Clock.smali

4. the line you want is typically 36 (its the static constructor)

5. change "const/4 v0, 0x0" to "const/4 v0, 0x2"

6. save and recompile

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gorillaz48:
This is my first post. I have read the FAQ section and I spent some time with the beloved search bar. No luck so far.

I am a noob so I want to say thanks in advance to anyone/everyone willing to evan glance at this post let alone lend a hand..

I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy SII (AT&T) and appears to be working fine until I install any custom rom. When I do so and reboot the phone the boot animation will begin but then hang on both ROM's I have tried.

Ive made sure to create a buckup of my phone after root so both times I just reverted to the backup.

So far I have tried resurrection & AOKP ICS ROM..

I am running 2.3.6..

Feel like Im so close but yet so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

Have you done a complete wipe prior to flashing? That is usually the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karth500:
The first boot usually takes a bit of time. How long did you wait? Also, full wipe. Thai should be all you need to do.

I wiped davlin cache with no luck and thats about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
You need to read more then. Knowing what a full wipe is is a basic necessity of flashing roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Nick is correct you really need to figure it out as it is necessary for flashing anything.

But in cwm wipe data/factory reset option is the one you need to complete prior to flashing any rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Wing2468:
Assuming you're using CWM Recovery to flash, you should be able to find Wipe Data/Factory Reset option there. If not, you might want to follow this:

Some people have reported being able to see both of their sd cards when connected to a pc with usb cable. I'm sure you have tried that already. If you can't see the contents through the computer then you most likely have lost the information forever, unfortunately. For future reference, ALWAYS backup your phone's sd card to your pc, both internal and external. If something goes wrong you can simply copy and paste back onto your phone, if you have a working storage device on the phone anyway.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] yourbrotherrex:
Weird. I downloaded the "official" jellybean boot animation from a Verge article (I think), and it looks nothing like that. It "looks" like an official one as well, in that it's very similar in form and function to the previous official Honeycomb and ICS animations.

Here's a pic of the one I'm talking about running on my Fire:

Has anyone else seen this one?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
There's two boot animations for the Nexus 7.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] yourbrotherrex:
Oh, okay..that makes sense then.

But I wish Google would just be consistent. If they just did one, it would make the suspense that builds up wondering what the new one's gonna look like stronger and it would keep pressure on the team that designs it to make it as awesome as they can each Android version. With 2 (or more), they can kinda half-ass them because carriers would have a choice. I look forward to the Easter Egg each release: maybe it's because there's only just one, and it has been getting better and better.

a bug as in it isnt actually draining the battery or it is really draining it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cloudyphiz:
I'm in the same boat, and there is no way that the standby is just a calculation error. If I sit and use my phone continuously after charging I can get 2 hrs of screen time while the battery drops from 100% to ~65%. During a normal day of light use I completely drain the battery and my screen time might be 1h50m at most. So something is definitely up - although I'm also getting terrible signal strength, and I think that might have something to do with it. I've searched every thread and have made sure that I have no rogue apps or processes consuming the battery either.

gary

edited - I take it back, after restoring my phone last night I have gotten 2h25m screen time after 11h45m since charging and I'm at 17%. So, doing better but not great by any stretch.

Hi guys

This seems to be an issue on all SGS3s. I have both the LTE and international model and they both show high cell standby. Check this thread out for more info on the i9300 forums to understand why its showing so high which is actually a calculation error

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1732722

My i747 is rooted so I decided to make a backup and flash the zip fix they provided and seemed to work. But the risk is inherently yours if you want to try it. Its just an xml file so I wasn't worried trying it in my case. I am more sending the link so you can see why it reports using so much battery

My cell standby battery usage went from over 50% to 5%

Basically, cell standby is not really killing your battery, it overestimates the power usage as being 10X more than what it is from my understanding
