[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gm2racer:
I'm pretty sure that VZW's Mobile Hotspot wraps the "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" feature that's been available in Android since Froyo (2.2). There are several apps that seem to bypass the carriers' tethering subscription checks.

I was using FoxFi to tether until I loaded Cyanogenmod (on my Fascinate). Cyanogenmod's "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" feature worked from day 1 without any issues (obviously it's not checking with VZW to see if I subscribe to tethering with my grandfathered unlimited data plan)... I have not used FoxFi since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Yes, Verizon's mobile hot spot app. Kinda Crap Mods removes the "subscription check" from the app, allowing you unlimited use of it. No need to install (buy) FoxFi or anything else.

Fattin Hotspot toggle widget works great on my stock non rooted S3. Check out the Google Play.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alope441:
I have tried the methods explained her and still can't seem to get it to work... anyone how to get WiFi tether to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inm8num2:
Is this widget toggle from a specific app you have in mind? Or is it built into the stock ROM?

I just upgraded to JB (I am unrooted) and am concerned about the Mobile Hotspot turning on when I use FoxFi. Looking for ways to get around that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xda_rulz:
Guys, I found a modded Wifi Tether app that worked out of the box and required no changes in the default settings on my stock, rooted JB ROM. It's a third-party app, not a hack of the built-in hotspot functionality, so much less risk of Verizon finding out (good if you're like me and you're still on the grandfathered unlimited plan). Grab it over in the "Verizon Galaxy S III Themes and Apps" forum here. There's two different versions, I used the first one (named "WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012"). Scroll down to "Download:" to get to it. :)

There are two issues with it, both more or less moot points:

1. Password protection doesn't work, but access control does.

2. When you're done tethering, you can't connect your GS3 to any wifi networks (not a problem for me since I rarely use wifi as, again, I am on a grandfathered unlimited data plan). You have to restart your phone to get wifi working again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pepperdax:
I use a third parity widget called widgetsoid, but I have used other widgets with no issues, the widgetsoid is my favorite. I personally do not care for FoxFi as it has caused some minor issues to pop up, and after removing FoxFi the issues went away. widgetsoid has not caused me any issues so I decided to stick with it. A little weird to set up at first but once you get used to it it flows really nice.:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite818:
When I worked for Verizon, there was no tool that a customer service or tech support rep was able to tell if the difference between phone data and tethering, proven myself as I was rooted the whole time I worked for them and had free tethering. It just shows ups as phone data when they query data for your phone. I do believe if they are trying to distinguish the types of data that your device is being used, it can be done but not at from the departments or people that you will talk to when you call them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fcpchop:
Hey everyone, I've been searching for a cheaper alternative to the expensive desktop dock samsung sells. It will mostly be used as a clean audio out for speakers and headphones, charging and sync would be a plus. Does anyone know of a good alternative out there? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohawker2000:
im no pro at this, but it seems like the best kinda thing is gonna have to use the 3 mm audio jack as a trick to do it.

as an example, if you ebay "Loud Stereo Dock Station Speaker for iPod iPhone 3G/4 4S MP3 Android Phone 3.5MM"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cidefix:
I have a digital AV Receiver with HDMI inputs and bought the HDMI dock from Samsung for less then 15€. The digital audio signal via HDMI can be used even without video output.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fcpchop:
Yea that's basically what I'm looking for, a dock with 3.5mm audio out and has the ability to charge + sync would be nice. I actually found a cheap 10$ one on ebay and a 30$ one on amazon from samsung themselves which isn't too bad, both that claim to do just that, so we'll see. I would post links but the forum wont let me until l I have 10 posts. Apparently there's an app that will allow me to use the usb audio out function straight from the phone which would be awesome, then I can bring in a DAC and amp into the mix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fcpchop:
Yea I thought of that as well, and I may get one of those too to hook up to my hdtv but as for speakers and headphones the 3.5mm audio out would be key

[General Questions and Answers] baybeejulia:
I'm totally new at this and want to root and install a custom ROM onto my Vodafone GS3 (I'm thinking Wanamlite ROM). I've been doing so much research but given the large amount of information on the world wide web I'm more confused than I was before lol.

Can I flash ROMs intended for GT-i9300? There aren't many available for GT-i9300T.

Is rooting different to installing a custom ROM? Must I first root with, for example, Odin, before I install a custom ROM?

If I have any issues and want to take my phone back to Samsung, how do I flash it back to Vodafone stock ROM and where can I find it?

Links to files/programs needed will be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] Romans8vs1:
Hello everyone. I am having a problem with my Rezound not receiving text messages. I've tried installing different roms and restoring various backups I have, but nothing has worked. It seems sporadic, but I consistently do not receive texts from my wife. She is on Verizon and can text people fine and she receives my texts, but I never receive her responses. I had my daughter text me and I received hers within seconds. I am pretty sure I receive other peoples texts too.

Any ideas what this could be? Thank you all in advance for your help and have a blessed evening.
[HTC Rezound] zac41189:
First off I have to say your user name is awesome. Great verse and pure truth.

Second, I experienced this with my ex and it was only with her for some reason. It was sporadic as well. It eventually stopped. But since your daughter is able to send you texts and you can receive from others, I would lean more towards your wife's phone being the culprit. Or just give it some time and it should smooth out. Mine did and it hasn't done it since.

God bless

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southernblonde:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
What ROM are you running.

There's a proximity sensor that is supposed to shut off the screen when the phone is next to your head.

If you hold the phone and place your finger across the top where the ear speaker is, does the screen shut off?

If it doesn't shut off, then you need to check if it is hardware or software prob.

You can get apps that will give you status on the sensor on Google play. Example, Phone Explorer.

With it, you can move your finger over the ear speaker area near the top of the phone and see if the sensor is working. Its range is up to 5 cm, about two inches.

There are also some settings in some roms to override the proximity sensor staying on whenever the headphone jack is in use. The setting in CM10 is that the proximity sensor is ignored when the headphone jack is in use, or not ignored, if you so choose in settings.

I'm using CM9 in Slim Bean 3.1.0 I called my other phone number and the phone screen did turn black whenever i was holding it against my ear. When I take calls for work, I have to press 1 to receive the call and I'm not sure whats happening because when i pressed 1 the screen turned black.

I read that dialing *#*#0588#*#* will change the proximity sensor but it didn't work for me.

I will check out a program you mentioned because I've had two customers hang up on me, they thought we just had a bad connection with all the tones. LOL Thank you!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
I have unlocked my AT&T Galaxy Note by requesting the SIM unlock code from AT&T. I then put in a non-AT&T card (T-Mobile), rebooted the phone and was asked for the network unlock code. I entered the code and it was successful. The T-Mobile SIM card works.

I then went to the APN settings to edit the APN and there was only one, the original one from AT&T (shown as ATT PTA). Strangely, this APN CANNOT be edited OR DELETED. Even when I create a new one and select that new APN, the phone always revert back to the original APN.

My understanding is that once the phone is unlocked, the original APN can be edited OR deleted and I can use another APN (T-mobile, etc.). Can somebody help?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chrstndsgnr:
Unlocking the phone does not unlock software areas that att has locked down. Good news is that you can add your own apn in that screen.

On the APN setting screen, press the menu button, then "new apn". Type all of your settings, then hit menu and save. Now you can select your new apn on the APN screen.

You don't have to worry about the pta apn from att. If it's not selected, it's not doing anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Thanks for the explanation! As long as I can use the phone in NON-AT&T network, I am happy.

To eliminate that APN you will have to flash a custom rom. You can be stock and custom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Up until about a month ago that was correct, but t-mobile is migrating to the same bands as at&t so test the connection first.

Just using the stock LF6 modem and the t-mobile APN and live with that for a day or two to see if you are in an area that has been migrated.

If you never see H+ or 4G icons you will have to flash the Blaze modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Just a quick update:

The original APN cannot be edited, so I created a new APN and select that. When I press the "back" button and go back to the list of APN, the phone AUTOMATICALLY selected the original APN, not mine.

I selected that again, press back button and waited for 5 minutes (in case the phone trying to update whatever it needs with the new APN). Went back to the list of APN and the original APN was selected again! (???).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Did you save the APN you created?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
I did, that's why I was able to select the radio button from the list. So the list shows 2 APN, BUT as soon as I exit, the default APN was reselected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
In this case, a custom rom is needed for APN changes to stick.

I suggest you look in the super thread (top of the general section)

In the stock roms category you'll see a stock (rooted) version of the rom you need.

You can flash this build which allows APN editing and deletion.

Visually the rom is identical to stock, but sets the system permissions via root access to allow those changes.

Once the modification is complete, you can simply reset your counter and unroot to keep a stock device condition.

The beauty of this device is it's simplicity in root/unroot technique...g

Ranger gets the credit for the rom change advice.....I'm just mentioning it again ...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Thanks for the information all, really helpful!

I flashed a custom ROM just for testing (CWR backup of course) and indeed I was able to change the APN and it sticks! Definitely have to do with my original stock ICS, even though I rooted it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You can be mostly stock - - that's what I prefer. But our generous developers take the stock rom and tweak it so we can enjoy modifying our phones and be mostly stock. I'm using the Novena rom.
