I guess with a non rooted phone you can't clear your cache or dalvik cache. Nor can you use titanium backup to restore all your apps easily if you do a factory restore. Dang bro, that sucks. Maybe it's time to root.

FoxFi works for me. Just make sure that you are disconnected from any wireless access points before launching FoxFi. I disable WiFi alltogether, and let FoxFi enable it.


This post was made using FoxFi on my S3.

Started pseudo-randomly changing wifi related settings, to see if it altered the situation. After picking a remembered wireless access point (one I'm rarely around), and deleting it, wifi started working again. So, that's relief.

As to whether or not Foxfi actually works on my S3, maybe I'll give it another try, after the memory of this experience fades a bit.

Yeah, I'd planned to give the stock ROM a few weeks, since I've never used one with the Samsung interface, before. The hosed wifi made me lean towards sooner, rather than later. But, now that it's working again, I'll probably stick with my original plan. The lack of control over my phone makes me twitchy, though, so I don't imagine it'll stay stock very long.

Might be a PC problem, cause I made that post using my PC connected through FoxFi on my S3.

Is Wireless Tether running reliably for anyone? Most of the time I can't see the network on my laptop. On the rare occasion I can connect it works flawlessly however

I haven't tried with pc yet but it works great with my iPod, cough errr pad...(long and painful story how I got the iPud....I am not rooted yet as I just got my hone yesterday.

I have mine rooted (Sprint) and cannot get any of them to work. They might connect sometimes, but other times they don't even broadcast. I used tethering everyday at work with my EVO through Sprint Hotspot. Kinda regretting switching so early.

Posting this from my laptop connected to my VZW S3 running Foxfi..

Working without a problem before it was rooted and after.

Foxfi working for me as well, connected to laptop and Transformer Prime without an issue. I'm not rooted yet. Will be soon.
