For it to work with the new galaxy s3, select Galaxy Nexus CDMA as the 
device-profile

I am experiencing the same problem. Have tried selecting Samsung Galaxy Nexus 
(CDMA/LTE) and it activates on the phone, but no device I have tried can detect 
the network.

I was able to get the network to broadcast...

I activated Sprint Hotspot and of course it didn't work because I don't pay 
Sprint to tether.

When I activated WiFi Tether for root users, It started broadcasting using the 
SSID and encryption password from the Sprint HotSpot app.  It used those 
settings regardless of what I entered for the SSID and key in WiFi Tether.  

I was able to change settings in the Sprint app and then activate the hotspot 
through WiFi Tether.

This is not expected behavior, but workable.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this.

On TMobile, I selected Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM. That seems to work with 4G on 
Tmobile.  It usually works, but sometimes it doesn't.  When it doesn't I have 
to reboot my phone to get it to work again.  Is there an easier setting that 
someone has found?

I couldn't get it to work on my S3 (tmobile), but changed some settings and it 
works perfectly.

I used these settings:
Profile: Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
Method: Auto
Wifi Encription: Enabled
Enable Access Control (may or may not need, but didn't seem to connect without 
it)
Change passphrase to whatever you want

I am getting excellent throughput and bandwidth.

Also seeing this issue.  Sprint Galaxy S3.  Installed Wifi tether.  Set up with 
Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMLA/LTE as the profit, method auto.  Encryption enabled 
and disabled.  Tethering starts with  no errors but I can't find the AP 
anywhere nor can I connect to it manually.
