Tether or Sprint Mobile Hot Spot - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I cannot connect to my tether or mobile hotspot, The device or laptop picks up the tether and connects but no internet. On my evo it will show usage being active but On the device or laptop it keeps saying limited connectivity. Has anyone had this problem? How did you solve it?

I have the same problem too on miui rom

I've never used hot spot, but in WiFi tether, check and see if access control is on or off. It you have it on and want it on, then make sure you give permission to the device accessing it.
If not try rebooting the phone. If that fails, clear the data from the WiFi tether app so it loads the binary files again the next time you open the app.
One of these always works for me.

Are you using the app or the built in hotspot?

When I open Tether, Hotspot comes on, on its own or at least the hotspot app opens up (but doesn't start up).

Oopsie....hit the thanks button by mistake. lol
Ok, when you flashed Myn's rom, did you keep the stock kernel or did you flash another kernel after the rom? I think it comes with the stock HTC kernel which won't allow the wireless tether to work.

Wireless tether not working...

I'm on damagecontrol 3.2.3 with the latest radios, I have the latest version of wireless tether installed. When I tap on the symbol to start tethering, my laptop will not see the network at all. It only seems to be able to see it when I tap it again to stop tethering, then it'll pop-up on my computer, but won't connect because tethering is stopping.
I've tried turning WiFi encryption on or off, access control on or off, nothing seems to make a difference. I've tried manually turning wifi on before starting the tethering program, nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?
Computer is running Win7 pro.
I'm just going to throw this out there, but did you try to refresh your available connections?
If not, uninstall and instal the pre3 from here:

Install the pre3? or pre4 since it's newer?
I had issues with wireless tether with 3.2.3 but once I upgraded to Cyan 6, it works great.

Intersting. I'll nandroid and try wireless tether on a different ROM. Maybe i'll give Cyan 6 a try.

Sorry, I hadn't seen the new version. I don't see an issue using pre4...I'm going to instal it on mine now. When I was running DC 3.2.3, I was using the pre2 so I know that should work.
Also, if you are using a program like autostarts, ensure you don't have any rules keeping wifi tether from working properly.
Pre 5 is working fine for me on fresh 1.whatever it is

I was running DC 3.2.3 until last week. I was also having issues with wifi tether and removing and re-installing the app solved my issues.
The 3G (no 4G in NYC..yet) speeds are a WHOLLEEEEE different story though....

Installed Synd.ROM Frozen(malanga) WiFi Tether is not working and crashes that phone?

Installed Syndicate ROM Frozen (Malanga) Full version, and when i turn on the WiFi tether(3.0 pre11) that comes with the ROM, it turns on automatically the Sprint Hotspot, then the phone crashes turns off and thenb back on, by itself
I get both App. running at the same, what do i have to do, to run the wifi tether only????????
thanks
In wifi tether go to settings and the first option is device profile. Make sure you have the right one selected. And yes, wifi tether does turn on the sprint hot spot app. That's how it works in infrastructure mode.

It's a known issue with wifi tether pre10 and pre11. Try clearing the app data and see if that helps.
You can also spend some time here.

The guys that make the. Wifi software do very well. However, they have no control over any other mods you have done. So just keep trying to make it work. Alternatively, you can pay Sprint $30 a month and have it work fine all the time.

Wireless tethering not working

What's wrong?
You'll prob have to give a little more info to get a response. What have you tried to get tether to work?
What version?
Rom info?
You need to be a bit more informative. Are you referring to the wireless tether app? Sprint's Hotspots app? What rom are you using? Are you trying to connect via 3g or 4G? Are there any error messages?
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
Sorry. I am using Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo. It's the wireless tether app and when I tap the wifi logo it says "unable to start tethering. Please try again!" I'm trying to use 3G and when I try, it disconnects me from wifi.
Uninstall it, then try it again.
Yeah, I have had that happen before on a Sense ROM, can't remember which. Just uninstall and reinstall until it works.
I think I'll just deal with it. I just now got everything to my liking as far as settings and things are concerned. Is CM7's wireless tether working? I may try that ROM.
It's REALLY easy to uninstall and reinstall the app, I shouldn't take much to get it working. Built in tether works fine for me on CM7.

Go into applications, find it, uninstall it, then re-download from the market, try again.
The native hotspot will work in both roms.
Wireless tether WILL NOT work in CM7/gingerbread rom, so don't do it.

Wifi Tether Reboots

I have noticed this after I use the Wifi Tether app. The app works great, but after I stop tethering my phone reboots. Anybody else have this issue?

May not solve the issue for you, but it did for me when I would use Wi-Fi tether app and phone would restart. Uninstall Wi-Fi tether app. Power your device down, remove the backing, then remove battery followed by SIM card. Doesn't have to be out long. The idea is to just remove it and make sure when you put the SIM back in that it clicks in place.
Put the phone back together and turn the phone on. Reinstall Wi-Fi tether and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I will give this a shot.
Update: This did not solve this issue. Anybody else ever have this issue. It does hinder my tethering, but it is rather annoying.
Hurley, I am also having the same issue. I am also using the franco kernel, but I am on the stock 4.0.4 rom.
Ok I had the same issues as well with my Galaxy Nexus and all you should have to do is uncheck the option in settings WiFi-driver reload. Once I did that I was on WiFi and used WiFi Tether to test which is worked and then I turned it off and my phone wouldn't connect to my WiFi at home so I had to toggle it in the settings. Hope this helps
Having the same problem here. I'll try disabling the force driver restart.
