im looking for a way to tether my phone either wifi (preferable) or usb to my laptop but he difference is, I want it to do 4g. I dont think th wifi tether app doesnt do 4g. And I know some roms have sprints hotspot app but I dont want to pay and use that. Is it possible to crack the official sprint app to be free? or something similar?
Are you rooted? If so then you can use the Wireless Tether app it does allow you tether usin 4g as a internet source. Just make sure that you turn 4g on and let it connect before you start the wifi tether. their might be a few others but this one has yet to fail me. also I believe that sprints/htc's wireless hot spot and the usb tether are 3g only (least if your running custom roms).
Yeah, on the roms with wifi hotspot enabled you don't have to pay, the code is broke. Not sure about 4g though, haven't tried. As other poster said, wireless tether on market is solid.

On wireless tether i had an issue with cutoffs and disconnects. I fixed it by changing settings to channel 1. Not my tip, im just sharing it

I could never get the broken/fixed sprint hotspot to broadcast 4g, I'd start 4g before starting it and it kicks me out of 4g even when I try to restart it it wouldnt let me use 4g at all. But as soon as I turned off the sprint hotspot my 4g connects.

The verification for 4g hotspot is different and hasn't been cracked yet. So, the built in hotspot will NOT allow 4g tethering. It will go into a scan/connected/scan loop as long as the hotspot is active.
Wireless Tether and Easy Tether are both in the market and will allow 4g tethering without issues. I have both installed and use them most every day to tether 4g, works great.
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
pdanet it works great and supposedly fastest 4g connection from USB out there

I'm running the warm rom with the hotspot hack. it "works" as far as turning on and connecting with my laptop, but my laptop is not finding an internet connection.
wifi tether still works fine though.
i would like to use the hotspot app simply for the home page toggle.
any ideas??
and before anyone mentions it, i did post in the development forum for warm, but 17 pages later, no response.
thanks.
I'm having the same problem on every ROM that has the unlocked Sprint Hotspot. My problem is it connects and my network shows I have an internet connection, but when I open a browser no pages load. I know that doesn't help, but maybe someone knows what's up.
You have to start the hotspot and then cut on 4g breifly and it will work then turn off
4G. 4g does not need to connect the act of searching does the trick. After I did that it now works without going through the process of the 4g trick.
Would somebody be kind to post the hacked hotspot .all file?
Thanks!

Same problem here. Computer connects wireless to EVO but there is no internet connection. I read countless threads about this, and tried so called remedies such as toggling Air Plane mode on/off, updating profile and PRL under system updates. Seriously, we shouldn't have to go through all these crazy steps just to get an app to work
well why isnt the 4g hack part of it working as soon as i turn on the hacked hotspot it kicks back to 3g if i was using 4g before turning on the hotspot app
It's a bug with the Evo 4G and the hotspot that's never been fixed. You need the wireless tether app (and root of course) for wireless 4G.

Hi all.
Is tethering 4G available with the EVO?
Im currently running Fresh's latest ROM. Never really had the need/use to tether 4G but a co-worker wanted to connect to wiFi so to show off my Evo, I said "tether off mine"....
But the Sprint Hotspot (via Fresh Rom) only tethers 3G.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This program works great.
Sprint hotspot is blocked by default . Usb tether only does 3g unless u buy an app like pdanet or easytether. Fresh roms come already with wireless tether for root users that works with 3g or 4g .

The latest roms will allow 3G usb tether but will not allow 4G.
4G works until the usb is plugged and then 4G gets kicked off the Sprint network and will not reconnect.
Does anybody know of a good app or rom that will tether seamlessly with both 3G and 4G?
i believe the app wireless tether rc 1 or 2 allow 4g tethering...it worked for me in tethering 4g when i took a trip to delaware if you cant find this app i believe it comes with Calkulin's evio rom hope that helps
WiFi tether app from the market does

Thanks for the input, but i really wanted a usb/hardwired solution.
If you want to do the hard wire tether, pdanet tethers at 4g.
Easytether works with 4g and is faster than Pdanet.
+1 for easytether. I used to use it all the time and I never had an issue with it tethering 4G.
+1 for easytether.
So I know Sprint has their tethering program built into the phone, but in settings, there is an option to USB Tether, and I was wondering if I will get charged the 29.99 a month like i would if i used the Sprint program to tether. I don't think i will, but i was just wondering before i do it!!
Thanks!!!
attached is a screenshot of what the menu looks like even though i dont have it plugged into my computer
The $30 charge is only for sprint hotspot tethering. I haven't gotten the USB tethering to work for me but since I'm rooted I just use wired tether.

I'm rooted so I just use Barnacle Wi-Fi tether. Works well enough. Either way though its just 3G.
Does anyone know if the Sprint hotspot use the 4G data connection or is it 3G only?

Sprint hotspot does use the 4G, on my EVO 4G, i am rooted and the build i am running has the hacked version of it in there, 3G and 4G hotspot if you pay for it!!
I figured as much but you never know.

I Though the Wifi Tethering App, allowed the 4G/3G tethering without any problems? I've used it like 2 or 3 times, with my Epic 4G, and 4G/3G always have worked. ( I haven't rooted my ET4G phone yet, until there is a known way to go back to fully stock without problems..)
Hi Everyone -
I switched from the Evo 3D to this phone a couple of days ago and I really like it. I'm just about ready to root but I've seen some conflicting information on the wifi tethering and want to know what I'm getting in to before I root. Otherwise, I'll sell the phone.
On the Evo 3D, I was able to use the wifi tethering app and turn my phone into a hotspot, using infastructure mode, and using the 4G signal in my area. It worked perfectly, never had to give it a thought. The Sprint hotspot was "unlocked" but I used the wifi tether app because it was more convienent.
Now I'm seeing that this Epic Touch may or may not do what the Evo did. Specifically, I'm seeing that if I want infastructure, it's only going to work on 3G. I'm also seeing that IF it works with 4G, it's only in ad-hoc mode. My work computer will not allow a connection to ad hoc for whatever reason, so infastructure is my only chance.
So...is there ANY way to make this happen on the Epic Touch or do I need to sell this thing and buy another Evo 3D? I'm hoping someone can help. I don't care if it's an unlocked sprint app or the wifi tether app.
If I need to run a different rom to make this happen, cool, no problem. (I see that this LOS issue may be caused by certain roms, I need to figure out how to keep stock kernal.)
Someone please be my Yoda on this one and help me out. Just want the hotspot and yes, I'm too cheap to pay the $30 extra bucks to Sprint to go the "official"way.
thanks a lot!
Sorry as of now no

Unfortonetly, adhock mode is the only way at the moment...
Why is this phone so diifferent? Unlocking the native hotspot or making wifi tether work with the infastructure mode (in 4G) seems to be common on every other phone. What am I missing guys? Thanks.

From what I read around here, the guy that did the Sprint hotspot hack (Necroscan) doesn't have 4G in his area so his hack was never developed to work with it. I think people have talked about picking up the project but they've been unable to contact him to get permission. Something along those lines anyways.
Maybe turning off 3g would force 4g to work? I'm scared to root because of the los issues people are having. Maybe the new 1 click method will work, and if not... I can unroot. Sounds also like it's a matter of time before someone cracks this. I'm in for $20 if someone solves it.
I should clarify. I just want wifi tether to work with 4g. I don't care about the built in hotspot.

My wifi tether app (on a rooted device) works perfectly with 4G. Sometimes when I am on the go to study in a restaurant or something I use the wifi tether app to go online with 4G. It's fast!
in the meantime its not possible, yeah it sucks but only ad hoc mode is working.
There some new wifi tether beta that been coming out afther beta 6 try those
