Except, it's still working for me... and nothing on my bill, I'm not subscribed for tethering, etc, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jimspinnin:
As I said, it is also working for me running Android 4.1.1. And in the description on the app store it says will not work with "most phones". Works with ours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Antiphobia:
Mine worked to, but I'm not sure if they weren't keeping up with me and charging. I'm also a grandfathered unlimited plan. BUT I noticed lag in games with a good 4g lte connection when I normally never have any. That's why I'm looking for a Verizon hands off solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azdroid8:
Root and flash a ROM. There are a lot of good options out there. I would recommend the Eclipse ROM. It is by far the fastest out there and they have a good tethering app. It comes with both wireless and wired tether. I have flashed everything else and have always come back to it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iluvmay:
I suggest using Widgetsoid. Set up your native hotspot app, then exit it without turning it on. Then set up a widget for Wi-Fi tethering (the one that looks like two Wi-Fi symbols on top of each other), hit the toggle and that's it...Note that the "Droid Charge" doesn't work with this option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dofoho:
I did not do any of this and FoxFi is working fine. I start FoxFI it opens verizon hotspot automatically but I do not add or change anything and everything is connecting like it did with 4.0.1. I did the toggle off and on and did get a message that I needed to subscribe so I don't think I am being charged.

Hope this helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Same here, I have unlimited (S3) and limited plans(droid charge). I used both since I purchased them from day one and tethering the hell out of them and NO CHARGE from Verizon!! Give me a proof that they charged you guys?? or just speculation??

have jellybean on moto razr m 4.1.1 and foxfi doesn't work. in fact, phone resets. can't get to do work around mentioned in above posts. had fox fi before upgrading to 4g phone. worked well on moto droid 3. VZ wants their money for tethering and they're going to get it by hook or by crook. good luck trying to get around tethering without paying VZ

Verizon's new share everything plan includes free mobile hotspot. If you are on the older 2Gb plan or unlimited plan then it is $30/2Gb for the hotspot. Hope this helps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DavidLD:
I live in a rural area where until recently the only high-speed internet available was via Verizon 4G, so have been using a Pantech UML290 modem for a couple of years, with the internet distributed through the house by way of a Cradlepoint router set up as the WAN connection to my Cisco router. My wife and I travel a lot and use the Cradlepoint/4G modem for access to the internet by my Samsung Galaxy Tab and laptop on the road. We finally got cable, so now the 4G modem is useless except when traveling. What I want to do is upgrade my old voice-only Verizon phone to the Samsung Galaxy S III and use this phone as a Wifi hotspot when traveling, so would need to install foxfi or a similar app. I will probably be rooting the phone immediately. So, the question is:

Considering the plan--upgrade to new 2GB per month data, no sharing, from existing voice-only mobile--with a new S III, is it likely that the S III will work as a WiFi hotspot? I would probably get the phone from Costco instead of directly from Verizon, and I haven't yet determined what OS level these phones are running.

Thanks, DaveD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DavidLD:
Just in case anyone is even vaguely interested, I bought the GS3. It immediately downloaded and is now running 4.1.2. The phone came with the Mobile Hotspot capability, but to enable it (still?) requires a subscription to Mobile Hotspot or Mobile Broadband connect with Verizon. So I installed PdaNet+, configured and activated WiFi Hotspot, and off it took. It works like a charm and I will buy the full version. I haven't yet tried the USB Tether or Bluetooth Server features of PdaNet+.

I will be rooting it for other reasons, such as being able to run Titanium Backup and AdAway to get rid of 100% of the ads (I'm spoiled by the complete lack of ads on my Galaxy 10.1, and have a tough time putting up with them on this much smaller screen).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] saber0091:
2. Enter Mobile Hotspot from the window shade, as it should show up there automatically.
3. Set up WPA2 encryption.
3. Enable connecting device: You will need to enter the MAC address and name of your connecting computer. You can name it whatever you want; in OS X, the MAC address can be found in WiFi > Network Preferences > Advanced > Hardware.

Yeah, I'm not seeing 'Mobile Hotspot' in the window shade, or a place to enter a MAC address either.

Could we get more clarification on this process please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Afroman867:
Since ATT claims that they will be doing an OTA update tomorrow I'm wondering what will happen to my rooted phone. Do I install the update? Will it try and automatically install the update itself? If it does what will happen to my phone. I'm currently on the latest version of Clean ROM. Thanks for all the help in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nuclearrage:
I am kinda curious about this also. I am just rooted tho , with the exploit method. No custom roms or anything. I unchecked the options and rebooted to get phone state normal and then checked for updates , but didn't find anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
As long as u dont have custom recovery u will be able to get the update ....u will lose root thought....

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Lol cause there is no update yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Careyst:
I am also rooted and using CleanRom 3.5. I am sure the build date for the current CleanRom will be newer than the AT&T build date supposedly coming today. I guess I won't be updating since they are only adding multiview and I already have it via CleanRom. When the day comes that 4.1.2 is pushed out by AT&T and an update is needed, will I need to unroot my phone to get that update or is there another method?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tyshemi:
If you have a custom recovery and things frozen or deleted with titanium backup you must undo all of that and get a stock recovery and then use ota root keeper to temporarily hide the root and you should be ok
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Careyst:
Ahhh, Ok. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] topshelf95:
I'm not sure why anyone would want to go back to stock if you have a custom rom already installed. Custom roms will always be a step or 2 ahead of the carrier releases. This current at&t update is only for multi window and whatever updates are released in the future are likely going to be available via custom roms long before the official carrier release anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iDrummer3:
I was rooted, running CWM, and CleanROM 3.5. I went into recovery and flashed the stock rom and it automatically downloaded and installed the update even though i had a custom recovery. After the update was complete I lost root and had stock recovery. The official ATT 4.1.2 update is way slower than CleanROM 3.5 so Im rooting and flashing back. Also cant customize toggles like the international 4.1.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
Interesting. I am running root stock with twrp. I removed root, but still have custom recovery (twrp). Flashing the update fails due to ro.secure==1 or something.

Did you do anything at all to prep for the update, maybe ta or hide root?

Hello, so everything was working fine on CM 10 on my Verizon S3.

I decided that it was probably best to backup my IMEI information just in case and found a guide here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255..

I used

reboot nvbackup

In Terminal Emulator and it rebooted without any signs of backup.

Once It restarted it asks me to wait for Activation but I never Activated.

Looks like all the information is there except "My Phone Number" ad "MIN"

Now under my phone information it no longer shows my Phone # ect What happen?

All my IMEI information looks intact.

says My voice mail number cannot be found...

bought 2 s3's. one for wife and one for mom. texted pics to both phones. moms will receive pics but wifes wont. they are bone stock.

for some reason wife get box stating "download". when pushed i get pop up stating "unable to download, try again later"???

then in the text window appears an expiration date and time???

anyone ever get this?

is it a difference in settings between the 2 phones?

i dont see any difference in them however
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Are both phones on the same carrier?

I'm pretty sure it's a carrier issue.

Check both phones APN settings are correct (Settings - more settings- mobile networks - Access Point Names) also make sure mobile data is turned on as you need this to send/receive MMS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] carpboy:
Hi all,

I'm a little confused with rooting and updating, tried searching and still not certain.

I am not unlocked, don't really want to, and am rooted on 4.0.1. I had earlier rooted and used OTA Rootkeeper and then loaded .23 but then I could not get root back.

I put .30 ICS on and am again rooted. I guess I can only do OTA's to keep root? Despite that being in the name of Rootkeeper I was under the impression it kept it regardless.

One problem I was having that led me to load firmware manually was that this new tablet has the 'check update' function greyed out under the firmware update section.

So staying locked and wanting to maintain root I can only use OTA?

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nikufellow:
Yes if my understanding is correct but i could be wrong ;)

Sent from a hybrid phablet !
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
If using OTA, you need to install OTA root keeper to save root then after the upgrade you then restore root with the OTA root keeper app. If you unable to update through OTA, you could use dlpkgfile to upgrade, again use OTA to preserve and restore root. If you flash the full firmware from Asus, it's going to wipe out your root and you have to go back to ICS .30 version to re root again.

Hey guys, since I updated my Rogers Galaxy S3 to official jellybean and rooted it, I proceeded to wipe a bunch of system apks files. I deleted my backup not thinking Id need them, but of course now I do. Can someone upload the WifiDirect and WifiDirectShare apks for me? Or point me in the direction to get them please. I ended up getting my wife a S3 for christmas and now we want to use that Sbeam feature, but the connection fails,,and Im pretty sure it has to do with me deleting those apks. And I really dont wanna reflash a fresh rom and start over.

Huge thanks to whomever does this for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
If I were you, I'd just reflash a rooted stock image from here; since it's what you already have running, you should be able to get away without clearing cache or data or anything (ergo it's not the "starting over" you're worried about). If you're really concerned about losing something anyway (I like to be paranoid in this respect), consider using Titanium Backup or similar to back things up before you do that.

[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] someone0:
I felt like playing some older games and thinking about maybe buying a game controller and some emulator for the older NES & SNES. Anyone have experience on both the emulator and/or the controller. Which to buy? I was hoping something not too big for the controller, but I want to make sure it's future proof and maybe to run something like older PS1 game also. Aside from gaming on the HD+, I may want to hook up to my Galaxy Note II and play on that instead. Depending on the occasion.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] flipperz:
If it's older than ps1 then I advice just buying a wii controller, they work great with old games, lol super mario bros. (original.) You can install an app which lets you communicate with the remote and use it to control the nook (when your in a game it'll control the game itself, not the nook) , all you need is root and google play store.

Just look up wii controller, there's dozens of em.

As well as that, you can download an app to use either your nook, or your galaxy note II as a controller itself, though it does use wifi and will have a minor delay. (annoying, I know.)

Or you could buy a Bluetooth controller, works with IOS and Android. they range from 20 bucks to 80. be careful which you pick, because each game requires a set of buttons. and some controllers wont have them. (the 80 buck ones come with all your needs.)
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] smatticus:
I wonder if the new wii u pro controller will work. but i've had excellent luck with both a dualshock 3 and a wiimote with pro controller (no root required for that one). you might just want to grab the MOGA controllers since they're widely supported for android already AND have a built in holder for you smartphone that supports the newer large screen phones. i realize this is an OLD post but there has been plenty of headway made on this front.
[LG Optimus 2x] siraza:
ENVIRONMENT:

LG Optimus 2x (O2X) P990 .

Was running Android 2.3.4, and was Rooted nearly 2 years ago, and had CWM (Clockwork Mod).

Now running what ever is contained the the recovery img from the "[TOOL] Full Brick Repair (Clean & Easy)".

UPGRADES:

The AIO (All in one) tool recommend on multiple threads (within the O2X section), bricked my each time I followed the instructions on those articles.

Each time I tried to install one of the Download O2X ROM ZIP's via the CWM bootloader, it starts the install ok then aborts upon error (cant find path /system etc), and bricks the phone. Not sure if this relates to the partition compatibility, but I really have no way of knowing based on the info provided to me.

The only thing which has worked is: "[TOOL] Full Brick Repair (Clean & Easy)".

This appears to have installed Clockwork Mod 6.x, and JB (JellyBean) 4.1.2, (no idea what the partitions format or if it extended - but you can check the tool's batch script cfg fileif you know how to read the syntax).

After installing with the aforementioned unbrick tool, the phone was extremely fast to boot and to operate. But was missing Play and Gmail etc.

In the end I found that I needed to download the gapps zip, and install it off the SD card using Clockwork Mod recovery mode. However, after installation - the phone booted very slowly, and after it booted, the device experienced intermittent lockups for a few seconds at a time, and the keyboard kept crashing (would never show on screen at all), meaning I couldn't even download another via google play.

WHERE TO FROM HERE:

Please help - I need the correct tutorials and Firmware compatible with my device and its existing software/config.

Ideally I would like Jelly Bean version 4.2, with all the extra's.

Most importantly I want a stable build which doesn't have bugs preventing normal use of the phone (e.g. the In-call bug preventing audio, which requires and second step to apply the fix, or battery drain issues).

RESPONSES:

Please, no acronyms! Proper etiquette is that you put the full words brackets after the acronym, the first time you use it. Then you may use just the acronym on its own, throughout the rest of your post. This make each post self-sustained and useful. Not a breadcrumb of scattered information.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelGroth:
Hello!

I am not new to these forums.. I am a frequent reader, but I am not much of a poster.

I have a request that I think will benefit alot of galaxy tab 10.1 users running the stock roms.

Would anyone be able to /interested in modding the android.policy.jar file PhoneWindowManager.smali file to enable longpress back to kill foreground app? like the function we get in CM and AOKP roms? There is no need to have a setting for it in system settings. Just an android.policy.jar we could flash if we want the function enabled..

I have found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1969499 discussing and explaining how to do this.

I have tried to do this myself, but either it just won't work or I end up in a bootloop. I am new to editing .smali files and understanding their buildup.. So I am asking here to see if anyone is willing to take a look and help me out.

My guess is that I am not the only one who wants this in the stock rom, and I hope that someone is willing to do this to the benefit of not only me but everyone else running the stock ICS and JB roms missing this function.

I am running the "something" JB stock rom by smaw51 with the extended power menu. I will add a link to my android.policy.jar if anyone wants to take a look at it.. If not edit it, maybe explain what strings to change in the .smali file in order to get it working. I know we will probably need a custom .smali with the kill function aswell if the one in this thread won't work...

Download android.policy.jar

Kind regards

Does anyone want me to post a tutorial on how to do this?

Will require some modification to the android.policy.jar file.

Might require decompiling and getting a string from framework-res.apk values/public.xml

(Optional) in order to get a toast message saying "Application Killed." we will need to edit some strings in framework-res.apk values/strings.xml and recompiling framework-res.apk using APKTool or Virtuous Ten Studio. If we don't change this we still do get a toast, but it will then say "force app to close", wich (in my opinion) didn't look very stock.

Also, I have only tested this on JB, but it might be very similar for ICS.
