WiFi tether, anyone gotten this to work? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have just rooted my E4GT.
Installed WiFi tether.
I cannot seem to get it to work. My Gtab 10.1 wont recognize it all. My laptop will show it under wireless networks but won't connect.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the Sprint Hotspot app? It's working for me.

The sprint hotspot app works just fine for me!
I havent test using 4G but i guess it doesnt work.

On the Galaxy Tab 10.1 you will probably have to change out the wpa supplicant file. Use root explorer to do this. Be sure to go into airplane mode before you make any changes. Go into system/bin (make sure its marked r/w) rename the original wpa supplicant file just in case you need to revert. Then replace it with the modified supplicant file. Make sure the permissions are exactly the same as the original. Change back to r/o, take it out of airplane mode and you should be good.

Try this one

Why wouldn't 4g work?

It's working fine. The reason your GT10.1 won't recognize is because it is broadcasting an AdHoc network, rather than the EVO's infrastructure network. It's a pain but there are ways around it. All you need is download a ROM with the AdHoc tweak (such as the Overcome ROM for the GT10.1) or tweak the wpa_supplicant file yourself.

Thanks for the replies.
This is WiFi tether from the market i am talking about.
Any one have insight into why i can't get to work with my laptop. it shows as a network but will not connect.
Thanks

Use wifi tether beta 6
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk

So does it work with the latest beta for infrastructure ?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

Yup! It's working on PhantomHacker's Starburst v1.5 ROM like a beauty I'm using the included kernel (the one that is embedded in the ROM).
It's the Sprint Hotspot app. Works wonders for me!

Has been working fine for me since I downloaded from the market (Wifi Tether) after rooting. Stock ROM

On wifi teher is it infrastructure or ad hock using the latest beta please confirm please

Who do you pay for wifitether?

No, I pay for the native Sprint Hotspot because it never fails. Once 4g gets hacked, bye bye $30 a month. For Wifi Tether, 3.1 beta 6 is great. Here's that one...

Wireless tether allows 4g tethering. The last few gingerbread roms I've used allowed for the wireless tether app to work just fine, 4g and 3g.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I tried Wireless thether 2.0.5 pre 7 and did not work at all. App said it was thethering but. Itouch don't recognize it. Maybe I can try another build. My battery life is amazing though with the set up I have now. I guess it comes down to 4g tether or long battery life. duh. Thanks for the reply.

Root Unlimited Tethering gone?

Was looking to join Sprint and get a ET4G but wanted to know if the root tether method still worked and is unlimited since Sprint has put a cap on it?

The cap affects hot spots.
It doesn't it doesn't have anything to do with rooted tethering as that just shares the internet on the phone, which is unlimited.
Would wireless tethering be the same as a hotspot?
I get what he is saying. Android has tethering built in at a OS level. Its always there but Sprint blocks it and adds their own stuff which is monitored. Since root tether makes use of the phones data Sprint can't limit Hotspot since you aren't using it.
It works just fine.
Hey is it ad hoc still or infrastructure on wifi tether

[Q] Tether iPad/iPod to Epic Touch 4G?

I'm considering upgrading my EVO to the Sprint Galaxy S2, and the only thing giving me pause is the ability to (simply) tether my iPad. I know Wireless Tether only broadcasts in ad-hoc mode, does anybody know if the iPad supports ad-hoc wifi connections? Or does iPad only support infrastructure mode?
I'm aware of the Hotspot Hack but I would like a less complicated solution that works on 4G. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286236)
I am using the ET4G with I pad 2 for a week now with no problems. The only issue is the phones signal , very slow I hope the next update fix this problem. I think it will cause its meant to fix LOS.
Love the phone

[Q] Tether for LTE

So I just decided to get a note 2 with Sprint as my provider.
I plan on rooting as soon as I get it (Friday I hope!) After I root I plan on getting tether going.
Since I travel for a living (pilot) I need tethering to avoid crappy hotel wireless.
What is the best tether for root users.
With my old EVO I used wireless tether which worked great.
However I plan on using tether whearever I have a LTE signal. Is LTE tethering apps different that regular tethering?
Thanks!
as of now there is only one way to tether with our phone through a modded version of wireless tether for root users, check the faq to see where to get it

"wireless tethering works now". That's all it says. Where is the link to the mod?
that's on the first question, if you read lower there is a question "is there a way to tether wirelessly?" which has a link

File link for WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_20_2012_insmodv3.apk
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426691
Saw this too "Installed the latest 11/20 build and can confirm the WIFI re-connection issue. Fell back to 11/18, which seems to run perfect.
Maybe it's the fact that my phone is a Sprint GS3. I do see many GS3 owners having the same issue. "
I don't know if the Note 2 has issues with the 11-20 version or if it is only the SGS3. If there are any issues..I would consider trying the 11-18 version.

Wifi Tether is not working with 4.3 firmware.
I get it to work but only my laptop can see the Wifi. My other phone cannot see this Wifi. Do you have this problem?

I use the stock tether under my unlimited plan. Would only use it seldom though for my tablet or notebook.
Unlimited plan allows up to 2.5gb tethering a month which for that purpose is more than enough for me.

If your just getting that message on your phone that is just a setting for your own info, if you get an upsell screen on a tethered pc or your tethering stops working, then you will know they know lol. I tethered 100's of gigs in a month before they shut me down and I switched over to Foxfi and masked my usage.

I am using an unlocked 900T on AT&T's network and it seems to work. Someone told me region lock away fixes that as a side effect. I only ran it to unlock my phone and remove any region locks.

So just to be clear, there's no wifi tether with the stock kernel? I'm trying to avoid tripping the counter for the time being.
Worked great. Thanks OP.
edit:Spoke too soon. Can get tethering started but it won't show up as an available network. What profile are you using? There isn't one for the N3.
Will try this out

Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
well well, dummy me was about to do "de la vega" and just ended up following "qbking77" video to the T and tripped knox. Anyway, since that ship has sailed and there's nothing that could be done about it for now, what exactly does the tether app needs in order to work? I've been using TrevE Mod WiFi Tether for the longest on my GS3 stock rom/rooted. What's the difference with the Note 3?
So does installing this app work perfectly on a t-mobile note 3 on an AT&T network without AT&T catching you tethering without paying?
