I am looking for a way to disable authentication? This is easily done on an Evo... See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838644
Calkulin has a hack for the Evo to disable it, anyone port this to the Epic?
Also maybe if someone could port the disable usb debugging icon even when enabled too?
If you are rooted and install one of the latest froyo roms like quantum 1.3 or 1.4
its built in and working.

OR you can cancel your sprint wifi hotpot ($30/month savings) and just use wireless tether, which is free. Just sayin...
Is there any app that lets you tether to your ps3? Non ad hoc

This is what I use for wifi, since my company laptop will not link to adhoc networks, don't know if it will work with ps3 I do not do ps give it a try if you like.

This is why I want the Sprint one and just disable the authntication as they have already done with the evo, downside is they have not got 4g to wifi working as 4g uses mac adress for authentication possibly.
I already have WiFi tether app that works with 3g and 4g but the mode is ad-hoc and certain things like xbox, ps3, psp need infrastructure mode. I would be happy if we could get as far as Evo and get and have working infrastructure 3g without authentication restriction.

I used Quantum 2.5 for a few days. The Sprint Hotspot app was working fine for me.

do you pay for it? can you confirm it was sprint hotspot and not wifi tether
yeah i've been on quantum since 1.0, on 2.7 now and i dont think it works. it activates, lets you connect and "looks" like you have internet but activating the hotspot deactivates 3g for some reason. gives you the registration error.
that being said, i downloaded caulkins mod and will look into seeing if i can replicate it on the epic. i'm guessing i'll hit a roadblock as i'm sure people have tried this already, but we'll see!
looks like Caulkin is who made that MOD for the evo, i asked him on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10382458#post10382458 if he could provide a how to as the same hack might work for us.
right now i'm just comparing a stock framework.jar with his mod. first delta i found is classes.dex/android/content/pm/registeredservicescache.smali but i dont know if that means anything yet, we'll see.
will this hack work on the shift also>>??

Upgrade to the newest wifi tether, version 3. It works in infrastructure mode. It's still marked as experimental, but it did work for me.

Agreed, the newest wifi tether actually launches sprint AP with authentication disabled. I've read that its a little buggy, but I used it yesterday for about 10 min browsing the web with no issue.
Using the newest tether (v3) has actually reset my phone, IE erased the data/factory reset. Kinda annoying.
How? No one ever gives instructions.
Is there a way to get a free hotspot or wifi tether on an UNROOTED Epic?
Thanks,
Sam

For free? The short answer is no. You can download the ap apps like wireless tether from the market, but without root permissions, the apps will not work. Some reason your hesitant to root your phone?
Requires a rooted phone.
Backup your phone with CWM3 as this app is still experimental and can cause issues.
Download pre10 or pre12 version 3.
Correctly install with ADB or a file/app manager.
Shutoff 4g and open app.
Select your device profile as Epic 4G
Start app and verify it successfully started (no errors, binaries installed etc.)
Don't worry when you see Sprint Hotspot activated message as this app uses something from the Sprint app
Start 4G
Supports infrastructure mode
I've been having problems with my wireless tether for root users app.
I have my g2 temp rooted by visionary and downloaded wireless tether 2_0_6 but when I activate wireless tether the download speed will only go to .4mbps and the upload speed will be worse. It says wired tethering seems to be running and I need to get rid of it but what does that mean? I have PDAnet installed also if that's got anything to do with it.

Im on the latest SPRINT LOVER ROM and using the latest WIRLESS TETHER APP. When I try to connect from any client, the evo does not show a notification that someone has connected and the client machine does not get an ip address. does anyone know why??
Thanks ...
Your EVO should vibrate when a client device tethers to it and when connected, the client should have an IP address.

Nope not working.. I have now tried my Laptop and an IPOD TOUCH.. neither work.. the network is shown and I can connect, but I dont get any notification on the phone and the laptop or IPOD do not get an IP ADDRESS....
BTW - Im running 2.0.8-PRE1 version of wifi tether on the evo4g. Also I notice that when I use the free wifi tether app and I start it up, I see 2 icons in the notification bar.. one of them is from the SPRINT HOTSPOT and says "0 users connected" .. Is that normal?
I've used the wireless tether app hundreds of times without issue, however, for some reason, I am unable to connect. Hopefully, it is because I'm using SalvageMod 1.2.1 AOSP Gingerbread rom. Normally, I use either Myn's RLS 5 or a rooted Stock ODEXED rom. I'm going to flash to one of the two momentarily and test it out again.

I have been using the wifi tether for months fine.. I had to reset my phone and install the latest sprint lovers ROM and thats when it started NOT working. I just uninstalled the WIFO TETHER I had installed and install the new 3.0 pre1 and STILL the same issue.. I can get my laptop to connect but no ip address and no notification on the EVO
Well, I flashed the stock rom and just finished tethering my MacBook to my EVO and it worked as it should. I'm not sure what the problem is with it not working with the "outstanding" SalvageMod 1.2.1 rom. I'm going to have to look into it. I can't understand why it is not working for you with the Sprint Lovers rom being that it is basically a rooted & deodexed stock rom. Have youvtried unistallung and reinstalling IR installing a previous version of the wireless tether app that you may have backed up somewhere?

Which version of the app did you use that worked?? Also Im not running the kernel that comes with the SPRINT LOVERS ROM. Im running a custom kernel for battery life....
UPDATE: EVEN the sprint mobile hotspot (which the sprint lovers rom has unlocked for 3G) doesnt work either.. I can connect but cant get an IP and no notification that I am connected to the phone
I'm using Wireless Tether version 2.0.7. Change kernels and see what happens. Try Netarchy 4.3.2 noHAvs noSBC noUV.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app
Does the kernel have anything to do with this??
If kernels can effect camera and video, and believe me, they can, then it is possible for them to have an effect, to some degree, on wireless performance. Of course, I have no proof, but I've been flashing long enough to know that it's possible.

As i stated earlier, I nandroided back to the stock ODEXED rom and Wireless Tether v2.0.7 worked well with it. It did not initially work with SalvageMod 1.2.1, but I chalk that up to user error. There is a setting for wireless tethering that I was unaware of at the time. Anyway, I can't understand why the app wont work with the OP's Sprint Lovers rom which is basically a deodexed version of the stock rom, but Barnacle's wireless tether app works well for him.

Did you enable wifi encryption? While in the app, click on the MENU KEY>SETTINGS>and select ENABLE WIFI ENCRYPTION...by default, the key is "abcdefghijklm" but you can set it to any 13 character string...I'd recommend just using the default 1st

Did you try enabling wifi encryption? I use it at work everyday when I set up the VPN client on users laptops. You can't hit the VPN gateway from w/in the network, so I use the wifi tether app to login from outside the firewall and it works great!
The wifi hack is nice since it is the stock wifi tether app being used.

I like it that way better so I can use my control widget to turn it on and off from my home screen.
try and see if a different wifi device sees it, id bet its a laptop wifi issue and not your phone..just check with anything wifi

That's it? Just so you dont have to use a usb? When you use a app instead of the option in settings does that use our unlmited data or will it be capped?

It does not because the person(Necrosan) that is being given credit for the 3g hack states in his thread since he does not have 4g in his area to do testing. You can go on his thread and see if you can be a tester so that we may be able to get the hack going. But for now you would need a third party app to use 4g tethering unfortunately
4G wireless tethering? If so what configuration are you running? Rom? Kernel? I use my tethering often, and not being able to tether 4g has been disappointing.

try it without encryption just use access control you have to authorize each device from the phone once but it at least keeps people from using your bandwidth.
it is adhoc only though so some devices can't connect (mainly other phones tablets ect computers and the like are ok)
im currently on starburst 1.95 with the included kernel but i've yet to find a rom it didnt work on for me anyway
that sprint hack would be awesome if it had 4g enabled also
Thanks guys. I didn't know Adhoc wouldn't show up on my android and blackberry, the two devices I was testing to see if it would catch my SSID. Fired up my laptop and there it was. Sucks there's no infrastructure mode at the moment and hope they can fix that soon.
install the sprint hack from the dev section for those times you need infrastructure mode.
its only 3g but better than nothing.
Not sure what is the problem, im on stock rooted with LosKernel, and im able to ot use the latest Wireless Teather, with 4G on.. I connected my ipodtouch3G to check if it works, and it does
what are this ad-hoc and infrastructure stuff?

But does 4G stay on? Every kind of tethering I've tried, wireless, hotspot, wired, 4G acts like it is authenticating, then disconnects. So you are really tetherd on 3G.
