I'm using a rooted copy of 3.70 ROM and am stumped as to how to get tethering working right. It will work, slowly, with 4G but when connected with 3G it will not allow internet access. Does anyone know what I am missing or maybe point me in the right direction? The only fix I could find was downgrading back to 2.29 and with an older kernel. :\
I've tried older version of wireless tether, barnacle, etc, all with the same results.
Bump......
So no one on this site knows what is needed for tethering to work properly?

Hey haus. 3G is working for me. I tether with both often.
Seeing as you tried with older versions, maybe it could be the kernel you are using.
What kernel/rom are you using? I'll try to see if I can replicate the results.
Also as I'm sure you know, texts/phone will disrupt 3G so if you get a text in the middle of your tether, it will disable 3G.
Well I just found something very interesting...
I tethered today and found my connection to be extremely slow for some reason (3G). I went to speedtest.net and it said the closest test server to me was in the UK....
I'm not sure why it's doing that considering I'm in NY but thats rather fishy. I'll do some more testing and let you know.
BTW I'm using the stock #15 kernel and Myn's Warm 2.2

This happens to me all the time in Cincinnati, OH on 4G. It thinks I am in Whales or some random place. I get good speed results but it is weird.
As for the OP, wireless tether doesn't work well in all roms. There are even some roms where it doesn't work with 4G at all...

Almost all the ROMs I have flashed had wireless tether working for both 3G and 4G. It just took a bit to find the right build version to use lol. Pain in the ass I swear. -.-

Well I was more thinking of the CM6 w/ WiMax. I still don't think it supports tether on 4G.

I used the alpha 2 for quite a while (upgraded to the CM7 WiMAX one today) and I used the pre9 version of wireless tether on both 3G and 4G all the time without problems.

Well CM6 had no 4G for a bit. The Alpha for WIMAX for CM just came out and thats still in its infancy so I doubt tethering works at all let alone for 4G. Not too sure on this since I don't flash CM cause I use 4G a lot.
Edit: I stand corrected. lol Maybe I'll try CM.
I have similar problem as the OP of this thread. I am using MikFroyo 4.5 with netarchy 4.3.2 cfs_SBC_Havs_more kernel, wireless tethering works fine in 4G but with 3G, my laptop connects to the EVO but there is no Internet access. It seem as if either the EVO is forwarding the traffic or the DNS on EVO is not resolving names.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks
I've had problems with wireless tether lately, but I started using the wireless hotspot that comes included in my rom. Currently using CM7 Nightlies and CM7 with WiMax.

I've tried the stock rooted Froyo 2.2, Ava Froyo 2.2, and OMJ Froyo and the all work great (thanks everyone) but seems like Android WiFi Tether doesn't work on any of them. Is anyone experiencing this?
Actually WiFi Tether works but my laptop can't catch the signals whereas it does on OMJ 2.1fine.
same here
I unfortunately have to agree with you...wireless tethering just does not work yet with this new kernel. I have tried all the same HTC froyo roms as well... I can broadcast and my WiFi device can see it and try to connect but cannot get an ip address ..always 169... I hope this gets fixed soon
I don't use tethering that much anymore (now that I'm not in high school) but once I start college next month I'll need it more than ever, so idk if I should flash 2.2 yet. From everything I've read nobody's gotten it to work on any froyo roms yet.
first, q and a, not development, is where this should have been posted.
second, i'm on cm6 nightly 7/29, with the new radio and wimax flashed over it. i had no problem at all using the froyo hotspot (obviously not sprint's, bc no sprint packaged material is on the cm6 aosp release). it's not 4g, but it works. i tethered my ps3 with no issues at all.
im in same boat... once i head back to college i'm going to want to take advantage of the unlimited 4G... and without wifi tether thats going to suck.. hopefully someone can figure this out -
maybe someone will make a kernel with it enabled based on whatever in 2.1 that allows it ...?
does PDANET work? anyone who upgraded?
this is in wrong section but I used version 2_0_5-pre4 and it works fine. right now on Stock Froyo rooted but switching to Fresh 3.0 beta 2 in a few min
cyanogenmod's rom has working tethering. doesn't have 4g or sense, but wifi tether works, as does everything else.
werid
weird, still not working for me, I am going back to 2.1 OMJ for now, I need my free 4G WIFI TETHER DEVS!
I don't really care about tethering, but can you get any of the fps "fixed" kernels to work on any of the 2.2 roms?

Does the wireless tethering capability that comes stock with Froyo not work for you? Works fine for me in CM6.
Need some time?
The leak has only been released less than 2 days therefore obviously still have a lot of issue with old APP. just give the Developers sometime and I am certain they will come up with something. Beside the leaked 2.2 floating around is not really a final copy anyway so what's the point of working so hard on something that will be replace in a few days. Think all the Developers should just give themselves a beer, sit back relax to calm down their nerves so that their brains will be working at 100% when the final release come out.
Oh,

Can you give specifics of your setup? I tried the Evo-Froyo-2.2-Rooted-Stock-3.26.651.3-Deodexed ROM (with latest radio + wimax) but could not get version 2_0_5-pre4 to work. It starts wifi tethering BUT my laptop cannot find /discover it.
Thanks.

Me too.. yes sir.. it no work
he is probably on cm6. you cant really compare the two roms since sprint has its hand in locking up a native feature of the device for profit. we probably need the kernel tweaked by one of the devs in order to get this working.
Yeah, my laptop cannot see it either.

Everyone with an Evo on Sprint is "signed up" for 4G. It may not be available where you are at, but you are paying for it and "signed up" for it.
i ended up purchasing pdanet for tethering. was only 18.95. to be honest this phone is great, but we all know the battery's shortcomings. im ok with killing 2 birds with one stone by tethering usb and charging the phone at the same time . Any solution is cheaper than sprint's recurring tethering charge.
Does pdanet allow tethering over 4g in a 2.2 rom? If so, what speeds are you getting?
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.

Amazing Program https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTYwNzM2ODk
I've read a couple of people say they can connect to the internet for a couple of seconds and then there's no/limited access. Has anyone figured how to get by this? My hacked hotspot works, but I've tethered 4g on 4.4, and I prefer the wireless tether app.
Try different builds.
Try a different build of the app, an earlier one. Also, the laptop normally goes through the "limited access/no connection" for about a minute cuz it has to connect, but then it works fine.
Yeah, I actually went back to 4.4 after getting mad that my app wasn't working, I should've mentioned that I tried previous builds of the app, but it was a no go. I like 4.5 over 4.4 since it's faster and the 4g connections are better, but if I can't wifi it...well it defeats the purpose. I rather be on 4.5, so does anyone have a fix?

i would address this in Mik's thread.
I was able to get wired, wireless, and the wireless hot spot (sprint) working on Mik v4.5, but only in 4G. I couldn't get any working while on 3G. I used the latest version of each. I didn't do anything special to get them to work. But because I wasn't able to get 3G working this weekend I backed it out.
No flashing new ROMs for me for a couple weeks, on call .
HTC Evo
Rooted, but still stock...for now
----------------------------------------
The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.

Thanks, that version is working great for me now!
Hello All -
I am running Syndicate Frozen 1.2 on my Epic with the kernel that came with 1.1.1 which I think is Twighlight? Anyway, I am having issues with my wireless tethering where I am connected but am not getting a signal or will get a very weak signal like 23KB. It's very unstable. I've tried different physical locations to make sure I am getting a strong 3G signal and I have also tried flashing different ROMs (currently on EE03) with no luck.
Also, one thing I didn't notice before going to 1.2 is that when I start the wireless tether, the Sprint hotspot app starts. Is this normal?
Any help anyone could provide will be greatly appreciated. Wireless tether option is what lead me to this site so it is pretty important to me.
Loving the new ROM experience by the way. Thanks ALL!
If you are using the yellow Wifi Tether, it is supposed to make the Hotspot icon turn on. If you are on 4G, its best to turn it off then activate the tether then turn 4G back on. Make sure you select Epic in the settings. I am getting fantastic speed using version 3 pre 14. I am not sure which is baked into the ROM though

I've never had the "yellow" wifi tether app work for me on all versions of SRF ROM's. I've always used this one from the market, always worked nearly flawlessly for me. And I can fire it up while 4g connected, unlike what people recommend with the other one...check it out.
https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether&feature=search_result
Yea I was using the yellow Wifi tether. I'll give the one from the market a try. Thanks for the replies!
I use wireless tether 2.0.5 pre15. For some reason I have issues with other ones. Try searching 4shared for the .apk
Sent from my frozen Syndicated Beast...
Will have to try something else. Wireless tether is not working at all (the yellow or green) which is pretty important for me. It starts but up and download speeds are reading 0 yet my 3G has a strong signal...
I downloaded one of the apk over on android central after searching around more (I believe it was 3.0.0. pre12). So far it is working fairly well. Thank you XDA for being such a valuable resource!
been searching for the last couple of weeks for a solution to this problem but no joy
flashed CM7.1 stable, everything works that I need (WiFi, 4G, GPS, etc) except 3G. it shows 1X, confirmed by speedtest.
i came from a stock unrooted 2.3.3 OTA update with the latest 2.15.00.0808 radio which i rooted using the revolutionary method, went with CW, flashed CM7, no speed bumps, booted perfectly with the exception of again, being stuck with 1X data.
I've tried every solution i could find from calkulin's radio thread, as well as restoring the stock rom, ##3282#, setting to auto, then flashing back to the CM7 backup. I've tried flashing different radios. I've tried flashing with AR instead of CW. I tried some CM7 nightlies. No solutions I've come across have worked.
tried all these:

When I flash back to stock rom, 3G comes back. I hate sense and love CM7, didn't like the other AOSP roms including MIUI which i didn't like at all. Gingerbread-evo-deck which was my 2nd choice also runs 1X. The only custom ROM that ran 3G was SNS Gingerbread 1.9 which came with a bunch of the useless Sprint apps which was one of the reasons I rooted in the first place. I'm currently running that now however because it's the only one that runs 3G.
Why would other people's evos work flawlessly with CM7 while others are having my issue?
should I downgrade to 2.2.2 then try flashing CM7 again? any other solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thanks

yep, except i like CM7 and don't like the other roms.
Alright so you like CM7
Have you tried a CM7 based ROM?
TrevE Supporter!
yeah, i tried MIUI, but all the AOSP roms give me 1X and not 3G. everything else works like WiFi, 4G, GPS, etc.
What radios do you have?
Have you tried updating your PRL and PRI?
You can only do this on a sense ROM by the way

I think CM7 shows what your real data speed is, and the stock rom does not. If you are running at 1x on the stock rom it shows 3g, since it doesn't display 1x. CM7 displays 1x, 3g and 4g.
I bet most users on Sprint network are really running at 1x not 3g.

ok WTF
with infamousteeboy's help today, i re-flashed CM7. now it reports 3G.
WTFBBQ
damned electronics.

That's true, though most of the newer sense roms, have incorporated that 'fix' into their roms to show true data, and not signal.

i think i have to disqualify that statement, because it's fixed now, i'm running CM7 and it displays 3G in the exact same areas that were 1X before.
