Did LOTS of reading and finally got my GG flashed and working now. :good: Being new to Null Rom, what's the difference between these two? I have found that internet on my GG for some apps/widgets wouldn't work unless I enabled spoofing. I tried both, wifi spoofing seemed a little faster. Also, does either spoofing method being enabled use any battery?
Thanks!
Spoofing means your tricking or faking. So if you are on Wi-Fi but spoof mobile data your phone thinks your Wi-Fi signal is actually a cellular connection.
Some apps require a Wi-Fi connection but the gear doesn't have Wi-Fi so you spoof it!
Spoofing itself doesn't really drain the battery. However tethering does.

Hello,
I have been trying to get WiFi Tether Root working on my HTC One but it doesn't seem to want to work. I have watched the video for it and the HTC One for Sprint and the settings he used don't work for me. He did try to support me in the Youtube comments but nothing seemed to work. I did find a WiFi tether app that does work but the phone gets so hot it eventually shuts the WiFi hotspot off. That app is WiFi Tether Router. I have also tried FoxFi and PDANet+ neither seem to work.
Does anyone know how to get WiFi Tether Root working on the HTC One with laptops and Android tablets? Below is the troubleshooting I have already done.
I have the current version of WiFi Tether Root - TrevE Mod
I have tried Device Profiles: Auto, Generic, Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), Generic ICS/JB (wlan1), and others
Enable WiFi Encryption is off
WiFi-driver reload is turned on
With any of these settings the WiFi hotspot turns on, the download and upload sections of the application show no data flowing through or very little. Normally stopping at around 24 Kb download and 124 Kb upload.
Does anyone has a working configuration for this app? Does anyone know of a rom that has the native WiFi hotspot app service check disabled? Or a WiFi Tethering app that works without overheating the phone?
I also tried the fix described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2266268
Turned on MMS clamping and Routing fix. Still no data going through.
I have the exact same problem as OP. Pretty frustrating. I figure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is or how to fix it. I haven't tried the other tether apps. If you fix it, please post here with your settings and hopefully it will work for me.
Try and install a custom Rom the stock Rom might have disabled WiFi tethering via 3rd party apps

Try this...HERE it worked for me.
I'm trying to get wifi tethering to work but I've tried all kinds of ways and getting all kinds of issues. I did the freeze+ESFile Net approach, Wanam tetherprovision disabled approach, FoxFi w/ proxy (bluetooth tether does work though, however limited to web browsing with no youtube), and renaming the tetherprovisions apk+odex combination with all of these approaches to no avail. I either get FC or "no mobile data or invalid sim" whenever I activate the tether. It does go through occasionally to show the blue icon in notification bar saying tether is on however on my tablet or laptop I don't get any internet even if it connects to the phone (which after 30sec it crashes and doesn't reconnect). I am on Tmo's unlimited everything plan (which comes with 2.5gb tether capabilities) using my S4A(i537) AWS enabled and all. Don't know what is different with my phone and those that got it to work.
Also is there a way to enable WiFi calling on this phone?

I can't speak for the Wifi calling, but in this thread I talk about a good way to get tethering to work:

A few more steps then the freezing permissions, but it is much easier to use one you want to. (Also make sure to unfreeze the provision and make it like it started off before proceeding with those steps)

Not sure what you are doing then, but I can assure you that it works in MK3.
Wifi at my university is not really stable, especially when I'm between buildings. That is of course the time that I would most commonly use to quickly reply to a text. Now, I'd have to disable my wifi and enable it again afterwards.
My old Samsung device had an option to automatically fall back to mobile data when the wifi connection is bad. Is there a similar option with the Z3C, or another way to do it?
Thanks!
For years I've been using apps that change sound profiles (e.g. Tasker) when I am near cell towers or wifi routers WITHOUT the need for location/GPS to be enabled. When I upgraded to Android 9.0 Pie wifi polling stopped working when location is not enabled. I read that cell polling is also not working.
My desire is to have this functionality (near cell / wifi polling) WITHOUT the requirement of location to be enabled in Android settings. I simply do not want my location to be tracked quite precisely 24/7.
Is there some Magisk module or other solution / workaround to this problem? At least I would like to have the option to disable GPS if location is enabled (there is no such option in stock Android). I have a rooted Smasung Galaxy S9+.

Did you ever find a solution? It is super disturbing that I need to enable GPS just to scan which wifi networks. This is a totally sick limitation which in not needed at all.
I so miss my android kitkat. For me it was the best android ever.
What if you do not have gps?
Unfortunately I did NOT find any solution. Currently on Android 10.
Hi All, I have an Exynos Note 8 SM-N950F. I have finally updated the software to android 9.0, and now whenever I turn on the hotspot, it disables WiFi.
Can anyone point me to a rom or fix to enable both WiFi and hotspot, so I can share my WiFi connection with the hotspot? If not, I assume I have to install the stock 8.0 rom for the SM-N950F?
I'm not sure that's possible. By enabling hotspot, your phone becomes the local wifi for the devices you want to share it with using your data. If you are receiving wifi from somewhere, why cant the other devices you want to use just use that wifi as well? If wifi is available to your phone, I'm not understanding why you have to activate hotspot to provide wifi to other devices when they could just obtain wifi from the same place your phone is getting it from already.

Thank you for the reply! I didn't believe so as well, but at least the Exynos Note 8 had this ability. I could hypothetically be on a plane, join the paid WiFi, and share the connection to my laptop. I used it to join a VPN on my phone, and share with my laptop. I also used it as a network extender while traveling; I'd place my phone in the area that got the best WiFi signal, and use it as a repeater for my laptop. IDK if this is a general android 9.0 disabling, or specific to Samsung, but I need this feature on my phone. The note 8 was close to perfect, except for these software limitations, including the slow charging bug. I specifically imported the Exynos version when I bought it so I could roll back the software if I had to.
Ah , ok that makes sense..
