[Q] Sprint hotspot switch - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of a way to control the app wifi tether with the stock hotspot widget?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I use SwitchPro widget.

SwitchPro, or perhaps Beautiful Weather. Forget if it has a Hotspot widget or not. I know it does have everything else though.

How do you configure SwitchPro Widget to control Wireless Tether? I just tried and it activated Sprint Hotspot instead.

I would like to know too

I'm still wondering how you configure SwitchPro Widget to control Wireless Tether.

I guess there is no answer

I'd just make a nice looking shortcut to it using Desktop Visualizer..Something like the attached icon, for launching the app.

Wireless Tether as in the built-in tether, or the Wireless Tether for Root Users app? I know Extended Controls can be used to toggle the built-in Android hotspot (i.e. not Sprint's).

The Extended Control (paid app $.99) power widget does this. I am using it currently.

It uses wifi tether for root?

Sorry, I misread your OP. The 'Extended Control' uses the Sprint Mobile Hotspot. (No, I am not subscribing to Mobile Hotspot plan from Sprint but it works for me). I am rooted and running latest Calkulin's custom ROM.

I have tried several roms and settled on fresh but have never been able to get wifi tethering through the hotspot always had to download pre9

Nandroid and give Calkulin's ROM a try. That is what I am using. It works on his ROM and can be turned on and off using Extended Controls widget. No hassles.

Don't know if it's what you're looking for but I used "ShareSwitcher" in the market.

T-Mobile GSII Tips & Tricks

I just wanted to start a thread about ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ so please feel free to mention any Tips/Tricks you've noticed. LETS KEEP THIS THREAD CLEAN AND POSITIVE!
I noticed while in the app drawer you can also use the screen leap feature just as you would on the homescreen (take two fingers and pinch them together just as you would if you were to pinch to zoom).
If you double tap the home button it will bring up Vlingo voice command.
You can not zoom in and out in 1080p video recording mode, but you can zoom in and out in 720p and under mode while video recording.
If you hold down on the home button first and then click on the power button you can take screenshots.

It's a third party app, and I'm really not trying to push easytether, I've just used it and it works. I'm sure any of the other tethering without root apps would work.

[Q]What program do you prefer to tether 4g or 3g

At a hotel looking to avoid some nasty wifi charge, have full 4g and 3g what are my best options for apps? What would e4gt-xda do? Thanks in advace!

Thr Sprint hotspot hack baked into every ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Yeah im finding that pretty good, is there any 4g comparable apps?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
if u r rooted and have a custom kernel you can flash aio mod found in the developers section it has a hacked sprint hotspot apk which allows you to use the 4g you are already paying for without forking out extra money for the hotspot
if you are rooted you can try using android wifi tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list just download the one with the most downloads...
if you are not rooted go into the android market on your phone and download clockwork tether its a free two week trial...please note you will also have to download a seperate program to run on your computer which you will obviously have to download from you phone and transfer to your computer...the links to this are on the application page in the android market...i will mention that i just recently learned that our phones have difficulty download certain file types...to get around this download "download all" which is in the market for free...it does just what the name implies....
i personally recommend using AIO which is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390304
if your not rooted clockwork tether is your only option

if you have the hotspot hack it already uses 4g...if you only want to use the hotspot hack disregard the link i gave you for AIO and use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394371 instead
you still need root and a custom kernel for this

Long story short. Wireless tether for root works. BUT it'll kill WiFi. You can only use one or the other per reboot. Unless something has changed.
Edit. On ZVB anyway

WiFi Tether for Root, or Wireless? I have WiFi Tether for Root but it requires a slew of steps to work, I've read.
Haven't gotten it to work with the suggested settings, but haven't bothered spending the time to utilize a workaround.

Each device is different. You should look for support for the device in question rather than something completely different.
Try device profile = generic wlan(0)
Setup method = netmasterd
Reload wireless driver checked

Use a WiFi tether app. WiFi tether for root from the Playstore, or the Trevor? version of it on xda. If you can't find them let me know and I'll get you the links a little later.
EDIT: Found some links. One has the TrevE WIFI tether that some people use.

This. WiFi tether seems to work well for most people. Be aware that after turning it on you will probably need to restart the phone for wifi to work again afterward.

On the galaxy devices i have used these apps and the moded hotspot and never had to reboot to get on wifi. Is this a common issue on the LGOG?

It's common for our JB. Any stock ROM requires a reboot per WiFi or tether.

What settings are you using? Every time I have Wifi Driver Reload 2 selected, it won't tether properly. It looks fine on the phone, but the computer won't pick up the signal.
I've used PDAnet and haven't had any problems switching between hotspot and back. Hotspot works great and switching back is easy (no reboot). I use it all the time for my tablet when no WiFi is available. Just thought I'd mention it.
