[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxjrsmith3xx:
hey guys I want to tether , my sister wants some internet were in the car and I see i got to the mobile hot spot and she gets a message from T-Mobile but I'm rooted ?? well I'm rooted but a stock ROM off tmobile LH2 version so what do I have to do ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bupahs:
Call T-Mobile and add tethering to your account and stop being cheap :laugh:

Sept 5th they are adding true unlimited data for 20.00 a month and dropping the tethering fee to 10.00 so for 30.00 a month you can have true (no caps and no slow downs) unlimited data WITH tethering. With that kind of price I see no logical reason to try and skirt around paying for tethering.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxjrsmith3xx:
not because I'm cheap trust me on that one , and I thought the unlimited was 30 not 20 and tether was going to be added to the 30 more ??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I personally can see one very good reason. I like having the option if needed, but have only ever found a need for it maybe 3 or 4 times in over a year.

Sorry, but im not gonna pay $120 a year for something I hardly ever use. Besides, we already pay for the data why should we have to pay more because of how we use it.

(I can understand a small fee for the true unlimited plan coming out, but for any other plans I think its just another way these companies like to squeeze customers for money).

@OP

Try the app called simply, WiFi Tether. Should be on market and theres a thread for it somewhere on here. Always worked pretty good for me.

Also, if im not mistaken, the unlimited plan will be $30, not $20.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelbeans:
Ive searched the forums, googled, factory reset, messed about with *#0011# power save, rebooted/forgot router and I'm STILL having issues with the wifi dropping and reconnecting periodically (maybe once every 10/20 mins?) . Im on BLG8 which is as far as i can tell the latest firmware (im not rooted) for the UK.

Has anyone got a solution to this? The main reason is I use Skype a lot and the call will just drop (obviously) with the wifi drop outs.

No other device has issues with my wifi router.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
Does it make any difference how far you are from the router? Does it always connect fine initially?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440hsp:
I'm having the same issue and i've tried every fix that has been suggested. I dont understand after spending the amount of money i did on this phone that i have to run through the dialer to get it to work properly sometimes. Then other times it still drops out and wont come back on for 5 to 10 minutes. I've changed roms, kernels, and wiped completely i dont know how many times and went back to stock. Still works sometimes and hangs up others. There doesn't seem to be a permanent fix for people lucky enough to have this issue still. My 30 day return is way up and gone so i cant send it back. Samsung cant seem to give me an answer. I'm at a loss for words.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
My 30 days was up, it's still been replaced under warranty. I took it to CPW who sent it away, it came back 'fixed' so I asked them to log into their WiFi... of course, they couldn't and the guy said he would order me a new phone but it would need to come from Samsung. My new one has blazing fast WiFi!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossysaurus:
i have the same problem. i was hoping a new rom would fix it, but FWIR its busted. i get 2 bars MAX no matter how far i am from teh router. its fast enough, but it drops out constantly.

also my screen is sometimes slow to turn on from sleep.

im on vodaphone if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philicibine:
Guys... I had a very similar problem with my phone.

First of all WiFi became very unreliable.. like yours. I changed ROM and it still persisted. I even went completely back to stock.. and it still persisted. Dropping out.. no reliable connection etc etc.

Then it started being really weird.. the touchscreen started responding intermittently. Sometimes I couldn't get it to unlock. And this was all on stock.. no root etc.

I was ready to send it back to be repaired.. and I came to the conclusion that there must be something staying the same.. even after a wipe / reflash. Maybe one of the other partitions was corrupt???

Now I'm not clever enough to investigate.. but I did come to the conclusion that a repartition may wipe everything and make it a real fresh install next time.

So I found an appropriate .pit file and stock ROM and used Odin to flash the ROM and partition the phone.

And it is now all fully functioning again.. no WiFi issues at all. ;)

RTFM THO FFS! Potential for complete brick if you get it wrong

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelbeans:
It seems to have improved with the latest JB leak, still every now and then but certainly better - i did a full factory reset + cache wipe in stock recovery (im unrooted etc). Still, would a modified kernel/modem fix this very common issue?

This problem is everywhere it seems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossysaurus:
OK so really weird update: my screen unlock is still a bit slow, but my wifi hasnt dropped for a few hours. i went through all the vodafone crap and updated/ran/configured it all, and now it seems fine. seemed vodafone wanted to verify my phone+sim details but couldnt over the wifi so kept trying to do it over the 3g, but couldnt do it quickly enough so the wifi cut it back out again. I have a headphone amplifier that is very sensitive to mobile phone signals. it beeps 4 seconds before i get a message or phonecall, and "ticked" at me whenever my wifi dropped out. its not ticked in hours.

TL;DR anyone on vodafone, run your "my vodafone" application and configure it all. might fix it.

so something interesting for those that have seen the hybrid rom like paranoia that mix tablet and phone layout. if you set your dpi under 200, the ion displays in tablet mode so taskbar is on the botton and notifications come up from the bottom instead of top .. just interesting

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaWrGs:
You will need to be rooted and download a build prop editor. I use rom toolbox.

As far as I know any ics from will go into tablet mode with low enough DPI. Some will have issues with phone not working though my personal experience. also market may not show you all available apps or let you update current apps because of DPI change independantly so market won't have issues :)

That's why paranoid android is useful it allows you to change DPI independantly without negatively effecting phone performance :)

Does anyone else find this app as useful as I do? So much information and detail about your phone...more than you'd ever need to know. Elixir 2 Widgets is also a must have. The depth of customization is ridiculous, you can do almost anything with it. If you haven't tried the app I highly recommend downloading it and seeing what you think. Extremely battery conscious people be warned - this app may drain your battery faster because it updates frequently. Easy fix is to adjust how often elixir 2 refreshes system information, kill the app of course, or disable receivers with ROM Toolbox Pro or similar app. Besides well known apps such as airdroid, rom toolbox pro, mobile odin, and zarchiver this is an excellent tool for your phone. Just wanted to share with anyone who hadn't seen it before.

Hi all!

I am thinking about rooting my Galaxy S II, but i am very in doubt! I want to know, why did/didn't you root? What made you decide to do it? Or what keeps you from doing it?

Also, where is the dangerous part? I mean, what part of the rooting can risk bricking? Is it the root process itself, or flashing a custom rom or maybe something third? I am a little paranoid about this, but i would love to have the root access as i am customization freak!

Thanks in advance

The part when you are flashing the rom and your computer power goes out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gammarik:
Thanks :) So i should use my laptop for this? ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NDUTU:
The risk of Bricking I would say is only 1. Percent,

99 percent of people here are rooted..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Good idea. Also if during the process of root, your power goes out, then it'll also risk brick. So laptop is the perfect solution.

Another way of risking brick? Flashing a ROM not meant for your phone, flashing a kernel not meant for your phone, and modifying the bootloader.

Its actually very very hard to hard brick your phone. Soft bricks happen more often, but are simple to recover from.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gammarik:
Okay thanks :) Made me more confident :) How about when using ROM manager? Is the risk of bricking larger there? I've heard that ROM manager makes it easier to update the ROM etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
ROM manager actually soft bricked my phone when I first used it, so like a kid who got trapped in an elevator and continues to have a phobia of them, I refuse to use ROM manager.

It simplifies the process of flashing roms though.
[HTC Sensation] SsBloodY:
Hi guys just wanted to warn you and check if someone else is having the same problem. I had random shutdowns with every ROM i tried. They were rare or none at beginning but the last week I had several a day. So since it was with every ROM it was clear that is was a hardware a problem but before returning my phone to repair I decided to check it out with original battery and no more shutdowns. Seems like the problem was at the Anker battery I've used maybe like a half an year. So if you are experiencing random shutdowns and you are using Anker battery try switching back to your old battery.

By the way the shutdowns were predictable. I can't describe it. But there were some coincidences of the shutdowns. Like every time when I unplug phone from charger and right after that I take a picture with flash - shutdown! When traveling also, last day every time I make a phone call after around 30 seconds it shutdowns and etc.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
have you tried this fix with anker ?

Anker is a little bit bigger than ordinary battery so it sticks tight in place so there is no point of trying that fix :)
