Im on the virus rom (senseless) its amazing other than when I try using the sprint hotspots app that was suppose to be hacked to work. Now the only thing that works is the 3g not the 4g. I want to be able to use hotspots to connect my xbox360 to live.
Thank you in advanced.

the stock sprint hotspot (yes, even hacked) can't be hacktivated to work on 4g. only 3g. for some reason 4g tethering is more complex and cant be hacked.
THE ALTERNATIVE: download android wifi tether (green wifi symbol) from the market. i use (or used when i was on sense) the stock sprint hotspot for 3g tethering and android wifi tether app when on 4g.
I use that aswell but I get these strange occurances where my phone stops sending data packets, then I have to re-start the wifi app. Is there a data governer that might be stopping my data transfers?

no idea... the stock cm7 and miui hotspots both work perfectly on 3g or 4g htough.
Mmmm....well I don't know what to do, wait did you just say that muiu has 4g power?!!!

my bad. cm7 works on 3g and 4g. miui works on 3g.
You made me very happy for a second. I wish miui had 4g. Ill just re-install the android tether app.
Thank you very much.

I had this same problem... android wifi tether app wasn't working with CM7 RC2, and I couldn't get a connection to work in 4G using the built-in tethering... Turns out, it's a bit of a bug, not sure if it's an issue with Sprint, or with CM7, or what, but the fix was this:
Turn on 4G, start up my tether, and then open the browser on the phone, THEN connect to the hotspot. It's mildly annoying, but now works every time

if you want FroYo and working wifi tether, I would highly recommend the TeamFenix 1.7.1. I have been using it since it came out, it is very stable. with me being a trucker i use the tether almost everyday. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749312
thanks, great info, are you also using gthe dopio kernel or as is?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
am using the newest of the Dopio 806 kernels
i have tried both the regular release of wi-fi teather (2.0.1 I believe) as well as the pre build that has worked with all the other roms released for the slide, the one reference in the developers section. Both will install and run set-up the first time I open them, but as soon as I click to start tethering my phone reboots.
I do remember that I had to install a different SU from one of eugenes releases to get wi-fi tether working for one of the other roms....but for the life of me I can't remember how I installed just that SU without installing the whole rom. I'm not a developer or even a decently smart guy if you can't tell
Barnacle is an open source wifi tether app in the market that works on windows and Ubuntu. When you start the app, you'll need to hit menu>settings and then check "Skip wpa_supplicant" for it to work. It may take a couple of tries to get it to work. But it works.
Thanks to Hellraz0r for the suggestion in the CM6 thread!
I have not tried CM6 yet, but was having problems with stock.
I installed wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre6.apk and all is well for the stock android at least.
wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk will say no internet, but wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre6.apk connects just fine. Could be a similar thing with CM6?
Well barnacle connects I did wat yu said but still doesn't load up the web page see

It's working for me. But, like I said, it may take a couple tries. This does seem to be a pretty "finicky" app. For instance, I fired up Windows and tried to connect to barnacle and the pc said it failed to connect and barnacle disappeared from the list. I hit the "Associate" button in the app tried to connect again after it came back on the list, then it worked. I'm using it right now.
Maybe try turning off your firewall for a minute? Or make it a trusted network?

I've been searching around for a while now trying to figure out how to tether a wifi connection thru wifi hotspot without mobile connection. cm7 won't let me. everything i see is for tethering a mobile connection.
Stock ROM defaults to the wifi I've done it and even made a thread about it

CM7.1 (and I believe CM7) has a Portable WiFi Hotspot feature, it's in the tethering section of the wireless/network settings

Yes. I'm aware of the tethering settings in cm7.1, thank you. You didn't properly read my post. I want to tether a Wifi data Conncection over wifi WITHOUT HAVING A MOBILE CONNECTION. As in no 5g,4g,3g, or even 2g data.

Ah, okay, I misunderstood.
So you're basically trying to use your device as an external wireless adapter for a computer that doesn't have wireless built in?

to be honest...i'm having a problem with my landlord having a problem with my service provider. i'm using my neighbors wifi. but it only really comes into one room well. i'm hoping to use my device to extend the signal to the other rooms. it has no data plan. but CM7 turns wifi off when you tether over wifi. i think I've gotten this to work on my g1 using pdanet but its really unstable, and i think its the app.
I've tried Barnacle, Sprint Hotspot & WiFi Tether. Sprint Hotspot keeps giving me an Error message. The other 2 can't be detected by my PS3 scans. I've tried with & without password encryption & made sure my SSID was visible. Any suggestions?

Funny, this has popped up in the forums for every phone I have owned. Why would someone want to game through a high latency, inconsistant cellphone connection? Trying to play in the motorhome on vacation?
If Sprint Hotspot gives you issues, you'll need to flash THIS ...but that'll limit you to 3G. Does the PS3 work with AD-HOC connections (which is what wifi tether and barnacles app creates)? I'm guessing it doesn't by default since you can't see it.
Not gaming although I did play the Uncharted 3 Beta thru my Vibrant & it wasn't a problem. I just moved and have to wait for Comcast for like 2 weeks. Just want to watch some Netflix

I think what I read on Google says I need to be in Infrastructure mode or something. Idk... But the native wifi tether worked with my Vibrant so I can't imagine why it wouldn't work here.
Thanks for the help fellas. Happy Thanksgiving & all that

HI,
I just rooted and installed a new ROM on my phone but i dont see any program or feature that will allow me to use my hotspot feature for free. Can someone help me? or point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
If its a custom rom...go to settings then data and look for hot spot in those settings
Yes it does on sense roms u use the hotspot app on aosp roms u go to mobile networks in settings and use android AP or wifi hotspot, next time use the search feature u could have found your answer in about 2 seconds and after all search before u post is RULE#1 on XDA

Hey,
Yes it does sprint's evo was the first to offer 4g wireless tethering and it was a large selling point for the device when it first came out!
If you are rooted you will be able to use it for free the issue is sprint likes to block certain apps in the market so just go to 4shared.com and search for wifitether.apk or I like opengarden.apk and those will get you free tethering so you can get your tether on!! Root for the win!
I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button!

Wireless Tether app.
Ok I have been doing some searching and decided to piggy back on this post for my question. I am running decks rom with the hacked hotspot and I also have the tethering app. I mostly use the app because it tethers 4g and I live in a solid 4g area and life was good. I recently received an Acer iconia a500 tablet and for technical reasons beyond my level it does not read the tethering app as a network due to some adhoc or something close to that. So I'm forced to use the hacked hotspots. I would like to know if anyone knows of a rom whos hacked hotspot can tether 4g. Or if mine does...I just am not sure how to tell for sure. Temporary fix until I can root my tablet and allow it to read the tethering app. Thanks!

Thank you for the quick response. I went into the settings and all I see is LAN settings and Bluetooth and battery settings. Any help?

Which app are you using in wireless tether there's a setting for adhoc or infrastructure ill look at the settings in about 20 mins when my download is done cuz I don't wanna kill my wifi effing around with WT but when the DL is done ill tell u what label to look under

In wireless tether go in settings > setup mode > change it to auto in device setup just above it change it to generic or evo4g and try it that way I can connect anything to mine with those settings

I'm on the newest I think its 3.0.7 I use the built on tether on my evo but have wireless tether on my other phone since it doesn't have a built in hotspot I don't get 4g here so idk if the built in one will work on 4g for sure but its the aosp one not sprints so it might ill have to check next time I'm in 4gland

First off thanks for all the suggestions.
Quick update : I downloaded a newer tether apk that had those options. I set them to where my tablet recognizes the network but now it just stays stuck on "obtaining IP" and doesn't connect. I tried restarting tablet, restarting phone, changing ssid, all I could think of. Even connecting to another network then trying to switch. Does not ever connect. I can still connect with the hacked hotspot so not the end of the world but would like to solve this.

I've had that problem a few times too try fixing permissions I'm recovery maybe called uid mismatches depending on your recovery you can also go into LAN settings and try different ips in wireless tether and adjust the broadcast frequency under another setting I can't think of the name but they are all in WT

I thought I read changing your DNS server usually works when trying to tether to a pc/laptop
I use the built-in wifi tether from CM10 but I only use it for Netflix from by BR player in my upstairs bedroom because my wifi doesn't reach up there and I'm too lazy to go out and buy a relay. For that it works but if I try to browse on my laptop with it, it gets the T-Mo message. You can use the original Wifi tether for root app and change your DNS settings to Verizon's network I think someone said once, but I don't really have a need so I've never tested it.
I will say it is VERY nice to have unlimited data though, no more throttle worries.
You should be able to tether after root, either through an app, a feature built into the ROM, or through other means...
I use wifi tether (hotspot) with my Android tablet and my Windows laptop.
Works great.
