I have rooted my EVO and I have WiFi tethering working great, but it is slow eats battery. What is the easiest way to get free USB tethering with the stock ROM and root?
P.S. I know about the apps in the market, I have yet to find a free one that allows HTTPS and works but I have not tried all of them so if you know one works tell me
I know you asked for free... but if you can't find what you're looking for, I have Easy Tether and it works just fine over USB. 3G or 4G, and never drops the connection.

the wired tether by the same people doesn't work now i get unsupported kernel
Hello, I'm new hear but im coming from IPHONE and just love the evo 4g, I rooted my evo and it seems to be working and everthing.. but i can't get sprint wifi hotspot working for some reason, it would help if someone could help me in the right direction..
Thank YOU... I'm using ava_froyo_v5
Don't hate me for using this one..
One quick note when i start sprint wifi hotspot it says user id and pass dosen't match.. do i need to use a different program or what..
I'm currently on Fresh 1.0.1 but I've tried Fresh 3.1.0.1 and Cyanmod6 RC-1 with and without nightly updates.
I've tried various combination of kernels too. That said, I've been unable to get wifi tethering to work 100% on any of them as well as wired.
1.0.1 was the only one I could constantly get EVERYTHING working on so I went back.
Not that this post really helps, just saying.
You have to pay to use sprints tether app.
Go use android wireless tether from the market.

for those of you looking for a stable wifi tethering app for your newely rooted mytouch slide, and espically if you are on CM6.1 RC2... this works perfectly, ive been useing it for several days without issue...
just thought id share the tidbit to ya all
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
I've been using the same since RC2 (I am now on the latest nightly, but still working).
just so everyone knows, i posted this cuz after a few hours of looking and total fustration, the forms here didnt lead me to a good tether app, so i did some leg work of my own, figured id save everyone time, no credit owed to me.... just being a good CM'er
i know this wasn't the case in the past..
but is there a way to run wifi in infastructure mode? or at least fake it so i can connect to kindle3?
running CM6.1 RC2
thanks.
mangle
try barnacle for the kindle but the one he just posted is a good working one.
these wifi apps create basically an ad-hoc connection, i know theres a way to connect to a pc and then create a hotspot useing the wife then basically bridge the connections, i had to go through it when i had an ipod touch..... its a silly long process but idk if thatd help
I use wireless tether 2.0.5-pre15 with no problems on the latest cm6 nightly, but it's an ad-hoc connection. Need an infrastructure connection for the Nook Color, as well.
Seems since upgrading to cm7, I hafta run wireless tether twice to get it to work...the first time I run it I get the limited or no connectivity on XP, but if I stop then restart tethering it works fine from there.
Has anyone else seen this and if so is there a way to fix it?
same problem here. never works the first time, always works the second time.
but the built in tether app never works and i would like a fix for that as well so i can access it from the toggle menu.
Built in tether app seems to work for me, but I prefer wireless tether for the data counter and access control...
Anyone ever figure this out? I saw a few ppl mention it in the nightlies discussion but didn't see a solution...

I just rooted my EVO yesterday & I just can't get a tethering app to work. ONCE I had my laptop connect, but had no internet access. I've tried WiFi Tether several times with different settings & I can't get a connection. I'm just looking for a simple & reliable tethering app to use on trips & such. As far as I know I have the latest updates with no additional roms installed. Basically a rooted stock phone.

This can be a very tricky question that has perplexed many people including myself for quite some time! What I have found is wifi tether for root users is the best and most reliable but there are some conditions to this. What I have found is if you are a sprint customer you have to be sure to get the right version of wifi tether. It all depends on how much flexibility you want but if you want something reliable consider one of the early 2.0 releases instead of going for the latest and experimental one. The easiest way to determine this is to make sure that the little wifi icon is green and not yellow.
if you do decide to try to alter the sentence with the more advanced version, be sure to leave it on a generic mode with waln=0 instead of the specific evo 4G mode.
If you're using a rooted stock, a lot of the roms come with a built into hacked sprint wifi tether, so you should be all good to go.
i currently run cm 10.2 / on 4.3.1. for my tmobile t989.
my question is. why when i run the stock wifi hotspot app will it allow my wii to connect and use my phones data to run netflix. hulu. etc. insted of mobile hotspot minutes like my desktop does. this is not bad for me. its actually close to what i am trying to accomplish by installing roms to begin with. why will my computer take my data from the free 2.5 gb mobile hotspot minutes. but my wii uses my phone data? keeping in mind i pay for unlimited data. so im not concerned with my phones data being used. is it possible to get free tethering on tmobile? i have heard of barrnicle and foxfi. they havent worked though. also curious if its possoble to make my mhl cable work with this cm version. it worked before. ic you can help. i would really appretiate it. im really curious if anyone has got around tmobiles hotspot bs.
