I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this app 'wifi tether' and gs III stock. It seems to indicate that it does not play well together. This is why I was asking, because this was my experience today: No consistent connection, it simply drops the tether and the app stops.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Better get used to it if ur stayin stock. All that works unless u have the means to Bluetooth tether. If u can do it with Bluetooth try foxfi. Normal tether doesn't work with it yet. Also if u haven't done so, in addition to setting gnex profile in the tether app and unchecking the disable wake lock option, delete ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app. Probably the cause of your tethering woes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] miniaturepeddler:
Thanks for confirming
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tbtltdts:
Www.foxfi.com will let wifi sctivate with root or no root. Does work for gs3. I use it frequently with sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] derrickmd18:
But it doesn't work. It says it active but you get a error on the device when you try to use it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SoxIn4:
Yeah FoxFi wouldn't work fir me either. My laptop saw the ssid but would never connect. I tried another tablet but had the same results. Wifi tether used to work for me but doesn't for some reason after the latest update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tbtltdts:
Hmm i use an older version than what is available now. I have no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] derrickmd18:
Can you post the older version? Or can I send you my email address to mail it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
WiFi Tether works for me just fine (gotta select the GNexus CDMA/LTE profile).

The only hiccup I've found is that before I activate tethering, I often need to do a fresh reboot on the GSIII, or else it will claim its broadcasting, but it really isn't.

And, of course, root IS required for this particular app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Greg0u812:
I don't know enough about the rules on posting links so................

I did a google search for "wifi tether versions"

Down toward the bottom of the results I came across a page from the androidpolice site.

Right above the row of three screen shots is the following sentence: (If it does get pulled, however, you can always grab the apk from Here).

Click on the word "Here" and it will take you to the android-wifi-tether project home page.

Click on downloads and that will get you to where you want to be.

I am running Jelly Bean on my GS3 and have yet to be able to get wifi tether or foxfi to work at all.

I am about to start at the oldest version of wifi tether and work my way forward until I find something that works.

Until I find something stable, I will be using pdanet for wired tether. Hey, it works all day long for me. :)

On EDIT.............

Ignore most of the above and just google "android wifi tether project"

It will cut out most of the steps and is the first result on google.

Dang, I've been here almost two years and still considered a new member?

Had to wait 5 minutes before I could edit the post with better info.

Trust me, I'm a real person........not a spam bot!

Sure it has something to do with post count.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BJBes:
Any luck with older versions of wifi tether?

Any luck GregO? I'm also running JB on the GS3. If you find a wifi tether please let us know. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Greg0u812:
Not yet.

Work got real busy right after I made the post and I wasn't able to go through the apk's.

I have to go over to another house and do a few hours worth of work before I can really get in and mess with these.

It may be late this evening (for me) but I am still going to try and run through them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Greg0u812:
Sorry about the delay.

I wasn't able to do anything with this until this morning.

I was unable to get any of the versions to work with JB.

Three different computers........three different os's, n one would see it.

Could possibly be that I am simply missing something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tbtltdts:
Ver 1.81.3 wprks fine with the sprint version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rottingroom:
WiFi tether or built in tethering with a custom ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mnhertz26:
That is incorrect. On the newest wifi tether app in the market, you set it as Samsung galaxy s3 and it works great. On 3.1 beta 14, you have to select galaxy nexus cdma

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

The app will not work for jelly bean. The developer needs to update the app. I have not found any wireless tether apps that work with jb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcannon318:
wifi tether always works easiest for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Greg0u812:
Well bah humbug! :(

Guess we'll have to wait for an update then.

Thanks for the info.

Wifi Tether download from the market works great for me. I'm running Paranoid 2.17

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChicTek:
I've done several searches which brought me here, I can't get wifi tether working with JellyBomb Domination either. I guess I'll have to flash back to ICS. *sigh*

Posting here so I will get notifications of updates - I can't post in the "developer's forum" because I'm too NEW.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Greg0u812:
I'll be able to give it a few more weeks and see if something doesn't come out for jelly bean.

I didn't realize that I could use the Square credit card app on my tablet (as long as it can get location).

It is MUCH easier to use on the tablet than on the phone. The GS3 doesn't work real well at reading cards yet while the tablet reads them almost every swipe with no issues.

Being inside, I need to have a wifi connection on the tablet for the app to find location. The hotspot does this for me.

Long story short.............

Early in December, I HAVE to be able to swipe cards and get a good read EVERY time.

That means either changing phones back to the evo (not going to happen) or flashing the GS3 back to ICS.

Hopefully something good will come down the pipe for us JB users before I have to flash back to ICS. :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royalcapo:
I tried searching for this problem on Google, but the only solution I came across was either by browsing gmail in classic or desktop mode on stock browser. I can't seem to delete a gmail email in mobile version. when I press the trash icon to delete an email, the icon turns blue to indicate that it has been pressed, but then it doesnt reload the page or delete anything. it just hangs..

since I am a frequent gmail user, I use dolphin browser instead, which works fine, but I still want to know what's causing the problem with stock browser. btw I don't use gmail app. my issue here is accessing gmail on stock browser.

thanks in advance!

edit: I am on stock btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royalcapo:
am I the only one with this glitch? plz help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
I dont have that issue but then again i use k9 email app. When i have used gmail via a browser on the phone i use chrome and dont have a issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
The app is far easier, I've found.

Nonetheless, I tested the stock browser and it does not actually delete any gmail items that I select when in mobile browsing mode. Works fine in Opera, though. I use Opera because it acts more in line with my expectations from a UI standpoint and rewraps text on zoom.

So, it's a stock browser bug, I'd think.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] royalcapo:
alright. thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe how Google's android stock browser has such glitch with gmail, which is also Google.

this is practically the main reason why I'm using dolphin instead. hope it gets fixed eventually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] piiman:
I think google doesn't want us to deleted emails. Have you ever tried deleting your

email from the gmail website after not doing it fora few months? OMG! ITS crazy. First you can only do it 10 at a time and there may have hundreds or more, and each 10 take several clicks it can take hundreds of clicks! But if that's not bad enough if you want to completely delete them you have to do it all over again to delete them from the history and again from the trash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
Any reason you choose to use the browser over the app?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jerzey111:
i wanted to add something but as usual tread like"Why are ROM suggestion threads disappearing?" are being locked as soon as someone starts a conversation, so mods i hope you read this and actually think about it

To All Mods: before you lock this tread, please read it at least twice. I think you forgot what forum is all about. Its about users communicating with each other. Of course i agree with rules but your guys are going overboard with this. Discussion about which rom is perfoming the best for users is very very normal type of tread. Your argument is that there is flamming etc. well ok, but shouldn't moderators "moderate"?? when threads became our of control or people become nasty they you are suppose to lock it. Not lock it as soon it shows up, because you "assume" it will.

I would love to talk to others about how are roms doing on their devices. Yes everyones' usage is different but THE BASICS will always be the same. If a rom is doing exeptionally well for most of the users than we can pretty much agree that is a good rom. This is what we "call good information".

so lets hope you guys understand what im trying to tell you and relax a little
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
Now your spamming remember mods decisions are final
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mike:
Anything ICS is very stable. Its simply preference whether you go touchwiz or aosp. Jelly bean is getting there and almost all share similar problems as they are built from source using many of the same commits. You have many cm10 builds to choose from coming out of project rookie and Vincom has a build out. AOKP for JB includes R4ins builds and a spin off Majick made called Orthus One using R4ins build as a base. I know I listed options and didn't tell you what to pick. Its your phone and your decision. The reason people don't like threads like this is because intentional or not you are putting someone's work above another's. If you must get info on peoples preference then send PM's. There is no need for a public forum debate on what's best. What I like, you may not and vice versa. There aren't bad Roms these days. It really is preference only. This thread will be locked just as your last one was. If you are so worried about stability then stay on ICS. If you must go for JB then simply read the various threads, OP's and go from there. It doesn't take that long to flash a ROM haha.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jyazzie110:
Isnt there already a thread on new rom ideas??? Maybe thats why those "rom suggestion" threads are getting locked or if u have a suggestion for a rom it should be asked in that roms specific thread so the rom dev can see the suggestion thenselves instead of having to look at another thread

I just want to jump in here and say I agree, some of the moderating here is overzealous. Discussions of battery life / ROM's that he/she enjoys are pertinent. Dealing in absolutes are annoying sometimes, and there's nothing wrong with getting a community's subjective perspective. Moderators should moderate, not control.

The only problem is the userbase here can't be trusted to not erupt into flame fests.

Which should bring the moderators in to MODERATE, not block a thread because it might happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
I would agree if it was ONE but the issue I see in every other section is that 20+ exist of all those what's the most stable what's the best who gets best battery life who makes my dinner better its stupid if noons could keep it to one thread per subject wars would never happen if they could follow rules and read and search but you know it won't happen so it will open Pandoras box most of us saw it when we had an absence of moderators and it made many of us mad and bitter ask the old timers here it was mad how many ICS threads got made in a day I thank PR for destroying all those threads and putting a stop to most of the problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sly-tendencies:
Lol "old timers"

The fact that you're getting so angry about a forum is honestly really funny

I think just how mods monitor the OT thread for bad language and such we should have a thread for suggestions that gets monitored. Granted, it'll be more work but I'm sure it'll be better than having reports from you flooding them every 50 seconds.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MaxCarnage:
Tons of discussion in the Development section, in each of the ROMs' threads, about how the ROMs are doing on users phones. Give it a look. A thread in the General forum comparing ROMs will, as others have pointed out, end up turning into an argument and be counterproductive. At best it's redundant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bronk93:
It appears an argument has erupted already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MaxCarnage:
Reposting threads close by mods is always going to elicit heated discussion and is typically just a play for attention anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
The development section / ROM threads are scattered, and not a consolidated place to discuss issues/favorites/subjective ideas. I think we need a thread that allows us to discuss our preferences because hopping from thread to thread in the development section is annoying, you can lose some information in the shuffle, and getting others opinions' are helpful.

Battery life, Favorite ROMs, features you like / dislike, settings for DPI, etc all should fall into a "General ROM Specifics Discussion" thread that is MODERATED by PR as it goes on. Not stopped before it has a chance to grow into something good.

I'll agree w/ Illnevertell, this thread is a meta this is why we can't have nice things

edit:

I'd like to think this is a discussion still.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MaxCarnage:
One thing that I generally see in every thread when someone asks if a ROM is "good" or would suit their needs, the universal answer is "try it for yourself". Every phone is different; what works for some won't work for others. I'm not sure how conducive it is to the development environment to have a thread where everyone is free to get together and give feedback on ROMs in a place where the developers may not see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
It's not conducive to the developer environment, it's for the users. Questions like "Is ParanoidAndroid a good ROM?" are stupid, I'm against those.

What I'm not against would be questions/comments like:

What's battery life like on CM10 for you guys?

What settings are your ParanoidAndroid tablet/phablet/phone valued at?

I'm getting 2.5 hours of screen time w/ texting/reddit/tapatalk on X ROM, how're you all doing with it?

I just tried Rezoundbeats on PA, and it works ****ing awesome.

I just got 4.5 hours of screen on time [screenshot]!

I'm confused about AOKP/CM/PA/ETC, what are the benefits of X vs. X.

I've tried X,X,and Y, I've heard good things about X, anyone else on it?

Is anyone using TouchWiz based ROMs? If so why?

Is anyone still using ICS? If so why?

Is anyone using AOSP ROMs? If so why?

There are a number of discussions that could arise from any of the above, and as long as the thread remains flame free they should be allowed to exist because while answers may not be THAT much of a help to you personally, others' insight may prove useful or at the very least interesting.

I'd only be in favor of this thread if it was hosted by PR bassplayer, just like the JB discussion thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MaxCarnage:
Virtually every one of those questions are better asked (or, more likely, already asked) in their respective development threads.

Threads that could/should be created in the QA forum as their own topics.

Throwing all these questions/discussions in a single thread would lead to utter chaos and there would be little constructive conversation. Individually threads already often descend into chaos; one thread with no specific topic for discussion would do little better in my opinion. Ultimately, this is all for naught because the thread was already locked and rejected.

"Blah blah I want everyone who even thinks about posting a question in general to have their head cut off and their family killed I'm rude and sarcastic to just about everyone but I shouldn't get in trouble for it"

If someone who actually has power over the forum doesn't take it up the butt there's no reason why you should. You really give xda a bad name. There's no need to comment "wrong section" or "reported" on the thread of someone who needs help. If you have no intention of helping, just report and move on like every other member.

You have a huge stick in your butt because you've been here "longer" (I would assume that you have multiple accounts because you've been on Illnevertell shorter than I've been here) but once again nobody should have to take garbage from the likes of you. PR's an actual mod who has to delete and lock threads, and he knows how to talk to people. You're just some bullheaded crybaby who's been here x amount of time with no manners. It's like if you worked the same dead end cashier job at Target, and you think just because you've been there longer than the manager that gives you the right to be rude to customers.
