Free Working 4G tether for Sprint Hotspot[?] - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched the threads and I'm not sure if this question has been resolved or not, but is there any ROM or preferably a separate .apk that allows for 4G tethering to be fully supported through the Sprint HotSpot application; one that is not limited to 3G tethering such as the Sprint HotSpot app found in [ROM] Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471). I am aware that the Wireless tether for root users allows for 4G tethering, I just like the clean look of sprint interface a little bit better than this one. Also I've seem'd to have notice that some times the WirelessTether for Root users will go from 4G to 3G tether just as the Free Version of the Sprint HotSpot application, does anyone know what might be cause?
-Thanks!

you definitely have this in the wrong thread. Should be in the Q&A section my friend. But as far as your question goes, no. Just root your device and use the wireless tether app. Its soooo easy to use, just tap the screen and your done|

so the interface makes that big of a deal to you for the 5 seconds you have to look at it?

If the interface matters that much to you, then you should pony up the $30/month.
If 4G tethering is all that you care about, then you can go back to a 2.1 Eclair ROM and use the Sprint app for free. 3G tethering won't work though.

im also looking for the sprint hotspot app with working 4g. for some reason with wireless tether the 4G feels throttled

I actually have the issue where if I use Wireless Tether for Root Users my devices will just randomly stop being connected to it.
Sprint hotspot doesn't seem to have the same issue, so while in 3G only I can just use the Sprint app, but in 4G I end up using PDANet or something.

Just change the channel to 1 on WiFi Tether's settings & it'll never happen again.
WiFi Tether pre 13 is waaay better than the Sprint HotSpot app.

OK, not to hijack another thread but...apparently my search ability is TERRIBLE because I can't find the info I'm looking for and I'm SURE this has been asked a thousand times. I jsut got an Evo Shift. This is my first Droid device so please treat me as a total n00b. I'm coming over from a Palm Pre (HP Pre now).
I need to get instructions and links to be able to get my hotpot working without having to pay the extra $30 a month. Can anyone provide a total n00b that is pretty smart with good step by step instructions on how to do this? I NEED it to work on 3G and want it to work on 4G. Thanks in advance...

Wow, OK, first, this is the EVo forum, not the Evo SHift.
Second, I'm not going to tell you how to do it, because that's something you need to lean about on your own time. But all you need to do is root your phone, and download the Wireless Tether app. There are many ways to root, and all can be found in the Evo Shift subforum. I'm not sure if Unrevoked supports the Shift yet, but if it does, its the easiest method to root.
Just make sure you READ a LOT about rooting before you do it, as its easy to completely brick your phone. There are plenty of noob/faq guides for rooting on here and other sites.

Sprint Hotspot

Besides Myns Rls5 who else uses the Sprint Hotspot
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I don't use Myn's...CM7 user...but I think just about everyone sues the hotspot.
Most custom roms nowadays has the hacked hotspot. I'm on MikFroyo with a hacked hotspot. I know Nuggysunlimited's is also hacked. Those are the ones that I have personally used and tested at one point or another.
Sent from MikFroyo w/Cyan Dragon. A work of art
Does a hacked one mean an ability to use your hotspot without being raped by Sprint ?
If you weren't getting raped by Sprint, then it wouldn't be hacked.
But yes, you can use it for free, without getting charged on a hacked hotspot.

Yep! All you have to do is open Sprint hotspot and click ok. Then it gives you options to turn it on, change the name of your router (phone), and choose your security type and change the password.
That's it, your all set to go surfing!!!
My doors are open if anyone needs to PM me for assistance with anything pertaining to your Evo. I love mine and have learned so much and love to help others, so feel free to hit me up.
Also Wireless Tether App in Market
I'm not entirely sure what the differences are, but there is also the "Wireless Tether for Root users" in the market. I've been using this for a bit and it works great.
I'm on MikFroyo 4.5 and use the Sprint Hotspot. For some reason the Wireless Tether from the market didn't wan't to work for me. They're both basically do the same thing though.

I haven't been able to use wireless tether in a while, unfortunately. But yea, they are the same...I keep getting "started up with errors." I tried the newer one, and the older version of it.
One thing to check with wireless tether is make sure you allow your connected device in the security settings.

Destroyer is AOSP, so it doesn't have Sprint Hotspot. However, it is CM7 based so I assume it has the native hotspot that's included in CM7.

Wireless Tether for Epic Advice!

Hey everybody.
I am in need of having my wireless tether run in infrastructure mode instead of adhoc.
I am running a Rooted Epic. Stock ROM/Kernel.
I don't mind flashing kernels if required.
Thank you for your help!!!
Go here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount
And choose one of the wifi tether 3.0.0 versions,
I recommend backing apps and info in case something gets corrupted and you may want to get any of the custom kernals in the development section will make it work better.
This ones are experimental so use at ur own risk and always have a backup. They do infrastructure
Thanks for the advice. I downloaded the genocide 1.0 kernel. Installed it.
When I install any of the 3.0 wifi tether apps, the app starts as normal, requests super user request. I grant it. It then vibrates and reboots....
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Hmm have you tried any custom roms...
maybe its a stock rom issue..
also did u try pre 11 ?
If you want to dive in to roms, i reccomend Bonsai first choice or Syndicate for second choice.
You may also want to make sure in the wifi settings to select your device in the profile, then select softap in the setup method and enable mss clamping as well as access control
if those settings dont work on stock rom with genocide then i reccomend getting a custom rom, i use pre11 on bonsai no problem.
Also question are u trying to start wifi tether with 4g on?
if so thats the problem and you need to start in 3g then turn on 4g after it started.
Right on! Thank you.
Yes you hit the nail on the head with having 4g on.
Disabled 4g. Connected via wireless tether 3 pre11 bamn online no issues.
Stock ROM / Genocide 1.0 Kernel.
Problem with me and the epic is I get way to involved and find my self wasting hours of time dealing with roms / updates / etc. So I have elected to stay with EC05 + root + Kernel.
Again thank you for your help, being a Network guy I understand what it takes getting good support.
Thank you.

not a problem, what so ever, just been on these forums and reading a lot since the epic came out so i know my share of stuff.
Oh and im actually going to school working on my network degree
Hello I had a related question: I just rooted my EPIC with the stock filesystem yesterday. This was mainly for tethering my Nook color and I used the 2.5.5 CWM version in the sticky for rooting.
I've tried the 3.0 pre 12 release of wifi tether. Following are the problems:
1) On enabling Wifi Tethering, I get a message Sprint "Hotspot Connected" in the notification. And if I click on hotspot connected it takes me right to the Sprint Hotspot! Now does this imply that the 3.0 version ACTUALLY uses the Sprint's hotspot service? In which case, I shall have to pay the $30? Can anyone confirm this?
2) I get awful speeds on my 4g. While my phone gives 4-5 meg download, on tethering with wifi tether, I get very low speeds like barely .5 mbps. In fact the 3G is actually faster than 4G using WiFi tether. Any idea what seems to be throttling the 4G speeds? (and yes, I disconnect 4G before tether and then put it back on).
Thanks in advance!
When it says sprint hot spot activated it activated it with out actually authenticating anything as if u look in the sprint hotspots settings u see the checkbox isn't checked to activate it that's is because the wifi tether app by passes the authentication there for it is free as for slow 4g speeds its a know issue on wifi tether and don't think we will see a fix anytime soon so stick with 3g or don't use it also I think some people have better speeds with pre 10 or 11 on 4g I wouldn't know where as I don't have 4g

Thanks for the reply.
So If I understand correctly, you are saying that the Sprint hotspot is activated but NOT authenticated. This means there will NOT be any charges i.e no $29.99 fee. Correct?
As for the 4G speeds, it's a bummer that it's slow on wifi tether. I'm not sure there is a choice of selecting any other program, as it seems that ONLY wifi tether supports infrastructure routing. That said, I'm ok with 3G speeds (better than nothing).
Thanks again for replying promptly. Much appreciated!!

not a problem bro and yes no charges as it is bypassing the authentication been using it for awhile and no fees
I'm using the viper rom, and I had the same problem of the wifi forcing closing but it seems to work when I go from wifi to hotspot ( I did for testing pruposes, I need it for work Ideally) but when I'm at work and on a 3g connection even 1x (its an old building) it will feeze crash then reboot, but ill try it again.
Does 4g have to be off for hotspotting to work or just not be connected?
And I work at radioshack. I get an employee discount, and when I was having some problems with an unrelated issue, so I called employee line help and hinted about illegally hotspoting, they said the could detect that and charge me. Should I be worried because I'm on an empolyee line? Or is their threat BS?

I wouldn't worry about the threat I've been tether since it first came out and I haven't got any warnings bills or anything u should be fine
As for the force closing, what pre version are u using I'm able to tether 1x and 3g on bonsai Tom on pre 11 and this one has been the mist stable for me.
Also try clearing wifi tether data in settings/manage applications/all/wifi tether/clear data
Or uninstall it and reinstall it
Also try other versions maybe u will have better luck with another version.

Sent from my iPod touch cause epic is bricked or dead
To those not happy with their 4g tethering speeds, I wonder if possibly the root of the cause has something to do with the fact that wifi and 4g will not both enable at the same time (maybe they share some kind of a channel, the same way some devices share irqs, internal laptop devices may share a usb root hub).
In any event, in my experience the wired tether app is MUCH faster on 4G. I want to say I've gotten somewhere between 8-11mbps over USB. Hope this helps someone.

[Q] Tethering: Can Sprint detect tethering to an android tablet?

Please, be gentle, since this is my first thread ever.
I was reading up on this information at AndroidPolice.com regarding Sprint blocking tethering apps from the Market.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...locking-tethering-apps-in-the-android-market/
In Art Russ's G+, some people were commenting about the ability of Sprint reading NAT Headers to find out whether you're tethering or not
https://plus.google.com/111991876596496628445/posts
I'm not actively using tethering, in fact I haven't even rooted the E4GT yet, but I did have my former Evo3D rooted to tether to my Asus Transformer.
Now my wife has CM7 on her HP Touchpad, and I still have my Asus Transformer. I'd like to be able to tether to them if we're on a trip somewhere away from the house, but I don't like having "big brother" knowing that I'm doing so.
Summarizing, can they detect tethering, more specifically, to Android (Honeycomb/2.3 version CM7 uses on Touchpad) tablets? figured maybe if the machine tethered was running android it would end up being the same or similar "header" (or whatever is called/checked) and wouldn't matter, but I could be way far off.
Please, let me know. Also, please, no bashing; in case this was answered previously. I took the time to search but didn't find this specific case commented after the "iPhone effect". If you find this has been answered elsewhere, please provide me with a link to that discussion so I can read up on it.
Thank you, and best regards.
I don't know about Sprint (I haven't heard of any instances myself) but AT&T has been sending notices to people about automatically changing their accounts to a more expensive tethering plan for awhile now. With AT&T it doesn't seem to matter what you tether to, they catch you. There's posts in either the Atrix forums or Inspire forums on Xda about it, I forget which.
Edit: The thread is in the Atrix general forum, there's over 400 posts.

i tether to my laptop and asus transformer like crazy and have never had any probs with sprint as of yet. the sprint techs and employees at my local store all have rooted phones with wifi tether as well so they prob would be first to stop when they know that sprint is gonna start cracking down.
can you explain how

Download Foxfi to your phone, its off the market so do a Google search for it and then get PDAnet Tablet app for your tablet or PDAnet for your desktop or laptop. They all work flawlessly for tethering...
Ive been running custom roms on my E4GT that come with a hacked version of Sprints Hotspot and i tether my tablet,laptop,etc...and ive been doing it for about 7 months or so and ive never had any problems or issues from Sprint. I also do the same thing with my Evo 4G thats runnin MikG 3.11 rom,that also has Sprints Hotspot hacked for free use. However i have heard of a few ppl recieving letters from sprint bcuz they were using a hacked Sprint hotspot,or wifi tether app,for free,but they only recieved those letters bcuz they were using around 40GB,or more, data a month. One excuse to use would be that u stream Netflix to ur LCD/LED tv via ur devices micro hdmi output to the hdmi input on ur tv. just my 2 cents.

Can sprint detect tethering? Almost certainly yes, by any number of ways - NAT info, web browser user agent string, types of traffic.
Are they actively seeking out users tethering at the current time? Not that we know of.
I've been (very infrequently) tethering on Sprint since Windows Mobile 6.x, and had no trouble. Think of it like your neighbor's open WiFi - using it sparingly and infrequently, and no one will notice or mind. But if you start torrenting/downloading like crazy, eventually someone's going to smack you. (all of us?)

There are apps that mask that type of information at the present moment. This question is asked every couple of months. I suggest you google search and look up the hundreds of threads about this and see if anyone has gotten themselves in any trouble. Remember the ones who tether and not like the user above said not the ones who use torrents...
If you do find 1 just 1 please post back here I would like to meet them....

[Q] Any low cost or free 4G Tethering Options?

Ever since the last time I installed a rooted ROM (stock Sense ICS edit: gingerbread), neither Wifi Tether nor Wireless Tether will work with my laptop. The apps launch and seem to run ok, but a few minutes after my laptop connects, it then disconnects! After that it wont connect anymore unless I close either tethering app and re-start them.
I have been using PDA Net, which is fine, but the free version won't connect to secure sites. Before I give up and pay for the full version, I thought I'd check and see if there are any other option available.
My requirements are:
Works with 4G
Works with secure sites.
I would prefer a wireless solution so I can use it with my (cough) iPad as well, but that would be a luxury.
I have not confirmed that my wireless issue is due to either app. Wifi Tether used to work with my previous ROM (also a stock Sprint rooted ROM). I flashed to an updated ROM because I could not get my Bluetooth working with the last one. Now Bluetooth works, but I've lost the ability to use Wireless tethering!
I'm kind of afraid to flash to a ROM with unlocked Sprint wireless tether because I don't want something else to break!

I'm on 2.3 Android, and using Wireless tether 2.07, And she ain't working for me. That is why I'm looking for another tethering method.
Guess I'll just have to re-flash and take my chances with breaking bluetooth again. I wanted to avoid that cause when I was trying to fix my Bluetooth before, nobody here was able to help. I had to reflash then too.
This is like trying to"fix"Windows by reinstalling it. You're not really fixing anything.

I'll go ahead and link you to a thread will appropriately address this one. Please read through the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471025
Well, I'm more puzzled than ever now.
My question asks about the existence of wireless tethering apps OTHER than WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether, specifically apps that are not restricted to non secure sites.
I spent almost a full hour searching before I posted, but I did not mention that in my question as I did not think it was pertinent.
I had already looked at the sticky about wireless tethering, but that thread discusses wireless tethering SPEED issues - not my issue. Again, my issue is loosing the connection between my phone and client (originally my laptop, but since confirmed with my iPad) when using either of the two mentioned wireless apps.
As long as the tether stays connected, I have no problem with 4G speed. But I only remain connected for two or three minutes.
And the thread Concordium linked to seems to be about bashing the original poster of that thread, so no help there either. Unless I missed something.

Thanks. I mentioned in my original post that both Wireless Tether and Wifi Tether are not working on my EVO.
Initially they do start and connect, but within 2 to 3 minutes they both stop tethering. I'm starting to wonder if some other app may be interfering.
Does anybody know for sure if my phone's WiFi should be running or not? Sometimes I get that "What the hell..." message.
I reread your original post and it looks like you answered your own question in your original post. It DID work until you flashed to another ROM. So common sense would suggest that it is some kind of issue with the ROM or the way it is setup. Perhaps you should take a look at that and use that in your query. If you don't want to flash something else then that's cool. But you're not going to fix your problem until you fool around with it.
Well, yes, but Like I said above, sometimes I get that "What the hell? Your phone takes over the WiFi..."
I don't know if you are familiar with that. It suggests to me that something is hijacking my WiFi radio.
Maybe I need to learn how to ask better questions.

[Q] FK23 shipped with unlocked Hotspot?

So I just installed the FK23 stock rooted full wipe one click. I'm able to tether with the sprint hotspot app with no further modifications. ??
Is Sprint opening up tethering, or did Samsung dev's screw up and forget to put on the code to check your plan?
This is 3g, I don't have 4g anywhere, so no comment on that.

Ha! I didnt even bother to try the built in hotspot cause I assumed it was lock. I actually spent some time this morning trying to get 3rd party hotspot apps work. Man I feel dumb right now. Good find. Should always check the obvious first. And btw I do have 4g and it is working.
Same here... I don't have it in my plan and 4g is working with tether. I wonder how long it will last?
Mine just turned on but it used my Foxfi network name. Either way it works, :good:
