what does that mean?? and is there a way to use wifi tethering with 4.3??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] themusicmonkey:
Portable Wi-Fi Hotshot from Android market. It works without root I believe... At least I used it without root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.core.technology.wifi.hotspot

can't get it to work on my ATT rooted SGS3 on 4.3. FYI the above link to "portable WiFi Hotspot" in the market doesn't work either. You'll be asked to sign up for a tethering plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] banditsw:
Hello. I just updated to 4.3 Touchwiz. I rooted with Saferoot. Prior to updating, when I was on 4.1.2, I was able to tether using the app.

However, after updating, my laptop does not have the tether as one of its available connections. If anyone is in my situation, and knows of any settings or other alternatives which work on 4.3 Touchwiz, I would appreciate the advice.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ash359:
A couple things to try if you haven't already.

Try using a vpn,

Try going into titanium and freezing Tethering provision

I haven't tested this yet

Working

I have the s3 on Verizon running ota 4.3 rooted and safestrap recovery. My ROM of choice is Wicked Sensation. All is good except tether so I downloaded the latest TrevE Mod with a few changes in settings and it works now. Here are the changes I made.

1. Device profile - auto

2.Native framework tether

I'm not a fan of seeing the native icon on top since it usually runs as an independent app but good for now.

Bridge mode?

1) My printer connects to the mobile WIFI hotspot, but am unable to print from my PC. Is there a setting I am missing? Possibly putting the phone in some sort of bridge mode?

Related issue below

2) Have my video surveillance system plugged into my wireless repeater (which is repeating the mobile WIFI hotspot). Have the port forwarding all set up on the repeater and am able to view my cameras with my phone when connected locally on the network. Ultimately, would need to view the cameras when I am not on the local network and in a remote location. When I use my mobile phone's IP address am unable to establish a connection remotely.

I feel like I'm missing a setting somewhere where the hotspot can remain active (kinda like bridge mode). Any help would be appreciated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
I just tried the latest version and I can confirm that this one is now officially working for me on stock VRBLJ1 (odexed) and encryption as well.

One very important thing: You have to have Busybox installed!

That was a key to make sure to get it working properly.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Switched to SuperSU yesterday. Not sure if that's why but worth a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
Yep. You need super su on odexed rom or a deodexed rom

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] r3ddawn:
Uh, I tried to enable encryption on my GS3/Sprint, stock, and it only works with encryption off. Though I did have to install SuperSU to finally get it working, but how did you get encryption to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
New build almost done, killed 3/4 the gross symlink/superuser spam code pretty close to killing rest.

Need a few testers to try new build who know how to atleast run a logcat and adb pull a file. VZW GS3 preferred as we need fallback mode to work, but ill take some other testers on similar hardware as well. Let me know if you can test.

+1 for WiFi Tether Router on play store.

Takes a little long to "enable and disable" than this app, though everything else fine. Both tether program ran warm for me and I could not tell if one is "cooler" then the other.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dopepope:
This app does work, but it makes me miss the days of WifiTether. The above app runs significantly hotter, eats more memory, and seems to take up more cpu cycles. Also it is much less polished, gives me weird errors about not having purchased the app (I have) and takes much longer to enable/disable.

Unfortunately it's the only thing that works right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] proxhack:
let me know if what I sent is what you need.

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmr731:
For those not being able to connect with encryption try using fallback mode to connect, it worked for me.

Havent had a chance to long term test, my problem was with vzw hotspot only i would have problems loading in browser even though it was connected and had my old droidx connected at same time streaming radio. Now also my streaming radio setup would cut out more often to compared to using just wifi tether.

when using trev's mod every thing worked great all day streaming radio on DX and surfing web on laptop (also this is being done driving)

hope this helps

Just wanted to thank Op for putting this together. CleanRom 4.5 + Wifi Tether mod = perfection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
Thanks to the round of testers ripping their hair out - Eschelon, NxtGenCowboy, Virus, Ziggy471 , proxhack, jlmr731, joshbeach - I just put out a new version that cleans some issues up, full changelog is in post1, but whats important is below.

Everyone- Fallback mode moved to settings, it saves/loads like rest of tether now

GS3 - Symlink controlled by settings

You need the Cyanogen Hostapd Binary mode checked still. I think I know the cause of needing that hack now so maybe next build it will be off by default :)

t0ltespr (Sprint Galaxy Tab2)-

Getting pretty close in new build, reported to open a hotspot but not connect, hoping to get rest of issues ironed out shortly.

For the brave with a nandroid-

Run removal menu item with tethering stopped then run install and old links should be cleaned up (in theory, did not have many testers for this yet)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmr731:
I have done this and all seems fine everything connects and works like a charm

Dont know if links are cleaned up like they should be didnt pour through file system, but working and happy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yourm0m1:
just wanted to say thanks for your work TrevE and all the previous mentioned devs/contributors in your original post. your modded app successfully works on the sprint note 2 and i have passed it on to that section of the forums.

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] proxhack:
I can confirm the apk working on the sprint note 2!

Great job TrevE!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
New version up in post 1. This stops using that gross symlink hack by default!!!! You need to uninstall old versions first (dont skip the uninstall), but it should work out of the box without changing any settings for a bunch of devices now. Thanks to joshbeach and the rest of the group of testers for everything.

Some geek details about what ended up happening.

ndc in most roms starts by using the command:

ndc softap set interface interface ssid securitytype psk channel hiddenssid macaddrAcl

in touchwiz (maybe all jb? idk that its in cmod, prolly why that binary works), there is an extra parm added called maxclient

ndc softap set interface interface ssid securitytype psk channel maxclient hiddenssid macaddrAcl

the command to start wifitether in netndc mode was the following line which norrmally forces off hiddenssid and sets macaddrAcl mode to 8

ndc softap set interface interface ssid securitytype psk channel 0 8

but with the addition of the maxclient field, it was actually setting max client to 0 and hidden ssid to 8 borking the AP. Cyanogen's hostapd works with this, but JB touchwiz does not.

TL;DR. Send Netdndc Max Client Command setting has been added. If you are on touchwiz roms on JB it needs to be on. If you are on AOSP rom or use the Cyanogen Hostapd binary, you probably need to turn netdndc max client off. Only use the cyanogen hostapd symlinks if you absolutely cant get max client mode working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmr731:
Great Job Trev,

new version working better than ever.

encryption works now like it should

have to use netdndc for gs3 to work

Thanks again

Does it work by default on the sgsiii or do we still have to set that option?

thanks for the tip on uninstalling first and then reinstalling instead of installing over the old version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
Glad new build seems to be working all around :) I hitup the guys at wifitether last night and they made me a contributor to the project. Were working on merging changes up to the base so you guys can be officially supported going forward. Ill keep poppin out newer builds here as things get cleaner until the next "official build" comes out

https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/source/list

eyecon82 - I think I forced all the right settings for you guys, it should just work out of the box if you uninstall /reinstall (or clear app data).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] igknotts:
worked flawless for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
Thanks. It does work for me right out of the box when uninstalling and installing

Are you saying if we don't uninstall first and replace it over the older version, that clearing app data will have us avoiding issues?

Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dantell2003:
Probably stupid? I I have a sprint Samsung galaxy s3 it's a running the rooted jb rom is there a way for this to work for me it's the rooted stock rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
Yep - Basically new version replaced tether_edify script thats installed on first tether start. (You will see a toast message saying Binarys and Config files installed) I don't think the code is smart enough to realize it needs to upgrade the scripts it has, so either clearing data or running an uninstall will wipe out the old /data/data/ folder and make sure you have newest binaries.

it should just work now, busybox is no longer required even though theres probably still a check for it. The only other dependency might still be SuperSU, ill try to clean that up in next build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
You need to install super su
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidtrucker:
works great on my Sprint Galaxy S3, Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pjacobs76:
Finally got this to work for me. I had to try several different configurations before I found these settings to work. Here are the settings I have it on:

Downloaded SuperSU

Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

Setup Method: Netd-Ndc (master)

Fallback Tether Mode: Not checked

Send Netdndc Max Client Cmd: Check mark on

No Wi-Fi Encryption (I haven't tried it with the encryption on yet)

MSS clamping: Check mark on

Routing fix: Check mark on

I have the blue 16GB Sprint model (if that matters)

Hope this helps anyone that still hasn't been able to get it connecting.

Also, I am on stock JB without any modifications other than root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
If I can have some testers - still no GS3 so still shooting in the dark but this should work. Attached to this post is a build that cleans up all the specific gs3/note code and puts it into universal tether base code. This may have better compatibility with other superuser apks. It also removes all the old hostapd symlink code resulting in smaller apk size. Please clear data on the wifitether app or do an uninstall/install of application.

Settings from this build on that are required (should be on by default)

-Auto Device

-Auto Setup method (or netd-ndc)

-Send Netd max Client cmd

-Wifi-Driver reload

Also I'm interested if any of the other Setup-Methods work now besides netdndc and should be left enabled or if they do nothing.

Thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] siggyboom:
You guys are awesomefinally works! Thnx so much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlmr731:
work great out of the box setup and also with encryption turned on, clean install on synergy r118

Setup-methods

WEXT - error msg failed and not able to connect

Netd - no error msg but no connection shown

Netd-Ndc - works

Hostapd had errors but connection not shown

Softap - had errors but connection not shown

Softap for Samsung - errors and no connection

when get errors they are shown in log and pop up when starting tether, took a while to do this for i did a reboot in between each try, cause after i did a few with errors the Netd-Ndc didnt show up to connect too. Also Auto worked every time must default to Netd-Ndc

so looks to be only 1 works for the gs3

hope this helps you out if you want logcats on any of these let me know and give me some time and ill get them for you

also attahed a screeny from an error log

new build up in post1. Remember to clear data or uninstall old build again first. Thanks for everyone posting- it helps to see whats working where and whats not. Device / Carrier helps alot in posts, theres a tona devices in here now and I dont even have a gs3 so having a hard time really following what rom is what on what device. thanks

Just what I was looking for -- thanks man

I havent heard anything about having to change useragent? what happens if you dont change it?

Driver reload was actually forced on each app start in that test build, new 11/20 build shouldnt have that issue. I revised both the e3d & gs3 driver load/unload code so hopefully it works better now.

Did not change get any settings.

Back to 11/18 version and all good again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] madunix:
If I don't change it, that tmobile hotspot page shows up. I use chrome for windows (default). I downloaded a user agent changer add on and changed my user agent from chrome windows, to chrome for mac and tethering works for me only this way. I have no clue why, but its the only way I can get tethering working on my laptop running win7 64bit home. The rom I'm on is xquizit v40 with ktoonz kernel. I havent tried the newest version yet, so I guess we can ignore my issues for now. Ill let you know how itvworks out once I upgrade. Btw, I feel honored you answered me.. lol.. no homo.
