WiFi tether for JellyBean is here.... Confirmed.....

[Skunkape60]

Thanks for the clarification on that. I talked to sprint, on Christmas eve I wasn't able to make or receive texts or calls. Apparently we are having an outage until the 31st? So they are actually going to reimburse me for the time I wasn't able to stream my netflix for free.

I played around with the settings on the tether and got it working. It's been on for about 2 mins now so my fingers are crossed. It says between 1.92 and 4.72 Mbps. So Whatever it was; hopefully I shook out all the gremlins.

I have to thank you yet again Skunk. You are always fast to reply. Sorry for my silly questions but you are the go to guy. At least I only ask them once right?

No problem... I enjoy helping you guys when I can. A lot of you guys use your phone differently from me. I don't expect my phone to do as much as many of you so many of the issues brought up here I've never seen. It's good that there are so many well rounded people here.

Just to give my feedback: I downloaded the .apk file provided on the first post by Skunkape. I copied that file to my phone's internal storage and used AppInstaller (from the market) to install the pack. Once I opened it, I connected and everything worked fine, I was actually able to find the connection in my networks (with the old WiFi Tether app, I was not able to find it). My current settings include Device-Profile is auto, Setup-Method is auto, Send Netd Max.... is checked, Enable WiFi-Encryption is UNCHECKED (i tested it with it on, and it would not work), I changed the SSID but it worked with the default AndroidTether, Wifi-driver reload 2 is checked, Enable Access Control is checked. Also, my WiFi was on before tethering, and when I tethered, it automatically disconnected the WiFi, so no need to turn it off.

I went to Skunk's link to "Hacked Wifi tether support" and found post #308. Originally Posted by jillmoto

Install WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012
Set Profile to Samsung Galaxy S3
Set Setup-Method to Netd-Ndc
Check Send Netd Max Client Cmd
Enable WiFi Encryption
Channel 01
Check WiFi-driver reload 2
Check Routing fix


I did that and it works for me. I am posting this from my computer tethered to my S3!

Works for me with my rooted jelly bean sg3. Thanks Skunkape. My encryption is enable also.

Was hoping somebody could help me, I used the link in the OP and it DID work the first time I used it.
Now however every time I try using it I get an ad hoc failure error.
I am running a stock root on my galaxy s3, I tried clearing the cache and rebooting my device but so far no luck. Help?

 

[dlm04e]

Already had that disabled. Trying the different Setup-method. Will update once I have tried it out.

 

[m1xmstr]

I was going crazy I did everything except open the superSU app then it all worked like it should. Thank you everyone.

 

[dlm04e]

Still randomly disconnects, not sure what is causing it.

 

[juno5star]

Will not show up on computer or tablet. says ad-hoc mode failed to connect or enable. gs2 rooted. j.b 4.1.2

Installed, tested, and it is working great on my Sprint Galaxy S3. Did a speed test on the 4G, and got 11 Mbps down and 6 Mbps up in the SF bay area.

Didn't work at first, and then I:
1. Changed Device Profile to S3
2. Enabled wifi protection and SSID
3. Checked off wifi Driver reload (Reload 2 was already checked)

That's the complete list of changes I did to the Settings. Didn't have any of the wifi toggle or other problems some people mention. Thanks for making this happen!

Checking in to say this works for the HTC DNA as well using the JB wlan0 setting.

Thanks to all involved

I rooted my GS3 yesterday, only other app added is BusyBox, SuperUser came with the root process, and could not get tethering to work, my laptop never saw it. Then I changed the settings I came across in this post and it works! Nice. Here are the only settings I changed:

-Auto Device
-Auto Setup method (or netd-ndc) - I am using netd-ntc
-Send Netd max Client cmd
-Wifi-Driver reload - Unchecked reload 2 and checked 1.

Hope it helps someone else. Thanks to all who help in the process.

One problem I came across is couldn't turn Wifi on after without a reboot.

Never saw that issue. Wi-Fi always came back on for me after stopping the tether.

Skunk, IIRC, some users fixed this by reversing their WiFi Reload (Reload and Reload 2) settings.

Swyped from my SPH-L710

 

[Super Dave426]

Just tried again, if I unchecked Reload 1 and checked 2 then tether doesn't work. If I check Reload 1 then tether starts right up and is visible on my laptop, but I cannot turn wifi back on. I just restarted to get wifi back on the phone, force closing the app didn't work.

Are you using Supersu or Superuser? Are both of these apps installed?

Looking at my apps I have Superuser installed. I never installed it it came with the root process I guess, but it is there and it does grant permissions. I read on xda someone else has the problem, but no one ever addressed it. xda-developers - View Single Post - Wifi Tether on Jellybean! (Working)

try a different version... I''ve had the same problem.

i was scouring the internet in search for an answer and when a read skunkape's post about having to flash a deoxed version i got very heartbroken...here goes another hour of BS blah blah blah

I've tried everything from foxfi to wifi tether and here's the solution i came upon!

Firstly, the problem: I would setup and everything and I can even see it on my wifi find list but it would never successfully connect. After a hour of just raw rawr hate this bs, i downloaded the version right under (wifi tether v3 3-pre1.apk) instad of the one above.

After installing, everything works smoothly like butter. it's all good now.

try downloading a different version, set it up and baaaooooom, you'll see the access control asking for permish and grant it and you'll be flying wifi.

awesome.

Sorry but I don't see that version anywhere, I must be blind.
