Help Sch-s960l Wi-Fi tether issues

[SicFreak]

I have yet to be able to run Wi-Fi tether on my s3. I've tried wireless tether for root users (yes my phone is rooted) and foxfi, and haven't gotten either to work. Any suggestions to get this working, as I could really use it for my laptop while at work and on the bus, as well as for my tablet.

With this being the straight talk sprint version I am unsure where to post so if it needs moved please feel free to move it.

Hmm surprised there hasn't been one response yet.

I currently have the Wi-Fi tether app installed on my ST S3 and it does work.

BUT.... there is a catch.
I have the 3.2-beta2-modv5 **synergized** version installed (TrevE Mod)??
maybe that's the current one or not, I'm not sure.

Second, I had to Jack with the settings for a while to get it to work correctly.
To turn ON the WIFI tether, I needed to set the Setup method to 'Hostapd(master)'

This works for allow other devices to tether to your phone and providing internet access.
The problem is when you turn it off, your regular wifi doesn't come back on.

To fix this either you can do a reboot on the phone or..
change the setup-method to 'Netd (master)' and choose 'wifi driver reload 2', then turn on and OFF the tether program.

This will force your wifi drivers to reload after you turn off the tether program and wifi wil work again.

At least that's what I remember. I haven't found the need to use it much lately.
