I hope I am posting this correctly. If not please forgive me in advance. My Evo (3.7 update) is rooted with Unrevoked and all Superuser permissions are intact. All my "root required" apps work correctly. My problem is that tethering will not stay connected, wired or wirelessly. I can connect and have internet access for about 5 minutes, then I lose internet connectivity although the phone shows still app running. I did not flash any specific roms, only rooted the phone because I'm okay with everything else on the phone. I have tried pdanet, easy tether, barnacle wi fi tether, and plain wifi tether. I have tried tethering different devices and still can stay connected for no more than 5 minutes. I then have to close the tethering app and restart to get another 5 minutes. Did Sprint enable something in 3.7 update that's causing this? I never had this issue on my rooted Hero. And finally, I am not in a 4g area so I'm doing this all 3g. Can anyone please assist me. I was almost tempted to pay the 30 bucks until I came to my senses!

I just went thru with the root process and my phone is now back on (after a big scare). What is a way that I can see if the root successfully worked? I just tried to hotspot to my computer and it picked up the wifi signal but was local only and would not connect, therefore making me think the root was unsuccessful. I have heard with root on the htc evo that you get the mobile hotspot feature for free. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot
Sprint's mobile hotspot feature will not work for free if you are rooted. You will have to download a wireless tether app to get a free wireless hotspot. Many custom ROMs already include a wireless tether app.
And you probably don't need to start multiple threads with the same issue.
Well.
Rooted/Rom'd/Kernel'd my phone earlier today, went just fine (netarchy 421more beta, ava v10).
Only problem is when i wifi tether, the 3rd party apps won't work. Sprint's hotspot works fine but when i try to connect with barnacle/a couple others it connects, then about 10 seconds after connected i lose internet access, but the wireless signal is still being recieved. I fiddled with settings etc and no luck.
Sprint's stock app works fine, and 3g tether is my primary connection source as i live in the middle of nowhere (good for everything but fps games, 200ping not cool). My connection shows 3 {+/-1} bars most of the time, speeds top out at 200kb/s dl. If i use sprint's hotspot app in my rooted phone do i still have to pay 30$/m for the hotspot service?
i don't recall any outside links in my post. (edit, declares all (at) symbols outside links.)
edit; lack of responses. easier question; Does a rooted phone using sprint's hotspot app still have to pay 30$/mo for use of it?

ok, so your using barnacle to do you tethering. Unless sprint hotspot is unlocked with calkuins hack, then yes you will have to pay for the tethering using, i believe it wont work if havent already paid for the feature. I suggest checking back with the Original Poster's ROM thread. Try using wireless tethering! the best out there, try this link
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Note: all the PRE-releases are EXPERIMENTAL, and can cause Fcs (force close) so if you dont feel comfortable with a pre-release, dl a stable set, ex: 2.02 (something like that) give me back results if this works for you bro.
ava v10 came with the latest version of that, i don't understand why it isn't working correctly.
I can connect/recognize but as soon as i try to load a page it goes using that.
That'd be with 100% signal strength + connected and "no internet access"

ava 10....haha, ok. The sprint hotspot it hacked. Whatcha do is:
1)activate wireless tethering, and sprint hotspot should activate too.
2)connect to your wireless tethering, not the hotspot,then turn off wireless tethering, and your pc will lose the connection.
3)try turning wireless tethering back on, and connect as fast as possible. It should go through this time. Happens to me and a few others that run roms with calkuin's tether hack.
Report back with result.
if you need more help, you can contact me via Talk. (gmail account)

yeah... that didn't work either, do you know of a way to unlock sprint 3g hotspot/wifi tether without changing to his rom?
otherwise i'll just load his up as i don't really have another option...

I use Wireless Tether all of the time, but today, it suddenly stopped working. My computer recognizes my phone, but when connected, it gets no internet connection. My phone has a solid 4G connection where I am now. Wonder what happened? Any fixes you guys could guess? I haven't changed ROMs, radios, kernels, etc. Nothing changed.
I am using this version of Wireless Tether I think: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q
Thanks!
Edit: I tried uninstalling, rebooting, etc., and it still won't work!
The Nexus have integrated Wireless Hotspot app in the Settings. I think you have the Verizon due to 4G and needed to use a third party app so your career don't find out you were tethering since you aren't paying for the hotspot plan, which is against their policy I guess.
Now if you were using an international Nexus, which ATT and T-Mobile don't have the IMEI number in their database, things is a bit easier.
In any case, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling. Or if you don't mind USB cable tethering, try EasyTether.
If you're running a custom rom on Verizon, then the developer has most likely taken out the Verizon partitioning, to make the in house wireless tether seem as though the data being used up as if it's "Browser" or something.
The thing is, nothing on my phone has changed since yesterday. My dad's tethering on his Bionic has also stopped working. This has to be something with Verizon then right? Are they somehow blocking us?
have you tried Foxfi?

be careful, once you get caught, they will make you sign up the hotspot plan.
Thanks for the replys guys. I actually had a static IP address on my laptop that was screwing things up. Wonder why that affects wireless tether but not a regular router?
Ok i am having trouble with getting the right tethering app for this rom.I have been searching since the 26th for a tethering app that works right,I have used barnicle,easy tethering(works but not wireless),Wireless Tethering(Saids starting but also logs error)Im needing a wireless tethering app that will actually work like its suppose to because my phone is the only way i can use my internet and me and my wife normally use it on both of our laptops at the same time.Im not A verizon customer.I personally flashed my Dinc 2 to Cricket.I do have a tethering plan but since i flashed from 2.3.3 rom my wireless tethering doesnt work..Barnicle works sometimes but connection speed is 11mbs when stock tethering was running 54mbs...The app is really slow and then when me and my wife gets on from our laptops at the same time it acts like it kicks me or her off to run on just one laptop at a time...Can someone please help???Does anyone know how i can fix this or is there a app that im not finding that actually works like system 3g Hotspot???Thank yall
No network
I flashed this ROM last night and lost any network connection, not sure why, could connect over wifi, I'm hoping thee is a fix for the tethering because I use the phone for internet at work and use Barnacle, which has always worked flawlessly.
Barnacle works fine as far as I can tell. Using it now.
I'm using barnacle as well, but you only get ad-hoc mode. Has anyone had luck with wifi tether or opengarden or any of the other apps? I need to get on my work VPN, but it doesn't connect through ad-hoc, so barnacle is no good for that.
Ive been using autoprime tether for months now but ever since last week when i try to use my laptop with it, the tmobile website shows up saying i used up my hotspot data. My tablet connects to and works just fine. I was on 10r...now im on 10c and reinstalled primetether but i have the same problem. Could it be tmobile found me?
I started using PDANet for Bluetooth tethering, and it shows as hotspot as well. Not sure why T-Mobile doesn't allow Bluetooth tethering seeing as though it appears they can still meter it.
Yes I am having the same problem. The tethering mod doesn't seem to be working anymore. Does anyone know what's up?
