HELP!! I can't get my rooted GSIII to work with WiFi Tether

**scottyb007#IM** · 01-07-2013, 11:18 PM

So i rooted my phone today and was super excited to use WiFi Tether so i could use my iPad. I have tried a few different combinations, but I have been unsuccessful. I am leaving in the AM for a long road trip so any help would be appreciated.

I am having the same issue. Wifi tether says it's broadcasting but I can't see it on my computer. I've been trying to search for an answer but no luck.

Follow this link to post #143. This will fix your wifi tether. Works on my AT&T Note 2 and S3.

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

Here is the link to download the wifi tether TrevE:

Hope this helps.

You could get a custom rom that supports it

I've downloaded TrevE's MOD yesterday, work for a few minutes, then keeps on dropping-out.... screen shows: "What the Hell! etc....

Same here.

I'm currently using Hotspot Toggle Widget, but there's a chance it'll get detected by AT&T.

I had the same issue when I first rooted and stayed on stock rom. There are lot of hacks to run tether on stock rom, but they all looked much more difficult to me then just installing a custom rom. CM is great and tether works right out of the box.

This worked before I updated to Jellybean. Im using a stock ATT rom that is rooted.

The app opens ok, and I get a small bit of data to show on the left side. It appears to be working but my computer cannot see the phone. (no SSID shows up)

I cant get Hotspot Toggle Widget to work either...............

I think that means some other app is trying to turn on / take control of WiFi. Does the AT&T version have anything like Sprint's "Connection optimizer"? Or do you have any kind of profile app that's turning on Wifi?

Check out Darth Stalker or Serenity...if you're into the TouchWiz based ROMs. WiFi tether works just fine with those two....Toggle switch built in. Just a couple of options that I know works for me.

(and Wicked Sensations...just remembered

)
