Wifi Tether is terrible?

***Mods, you can delete this thread. Got my answer elsewhere. Thanks.****
Rooted my Epic and installed Syndicate ROM. My speeds using the Sprint Hotspot app were MUCH faster than using the Wifi Tether app. Does someone know something that I don't?
If I can't get 4G speeds using Wifi Tether which is only ad-hoc then I'll need to go back to Sprint's ROM, unless I can install the Sprint Hotspot app. I'm new to Android modding so please be gentle. Lol. Not new to flashing/modding in general as I've done plenty of flashing with my TP2.
tl;dr
Terrible speeds using wifi tether.
Does someone know how I can install the Sprint Hotspot app while using Syndicate ROM.

I was wondering the same thing. I prefer sprint hotspot over wifi tether. Did you get sprint hotspot to work?

yeah the wifi tether is slow, i really want HOTSPOT back as i can use it and dont have to connect to it with the usb cable.

[Q] 4g tether app help?

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

[Q] Sprint Hotspot with Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo Question

I have Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo installed on my Evo 4G, and it's great. My problem is that I can't get the hotspot to work with 4G. I've tried both the Sprint Hotspot and the Wi-Fi teather application that is included. I have full bars with 4G and a speed test with the phone shows that 4G works, but when I turn on the Sprint Hotspot, it just quickly goes from "Hotspot Active" to "3G Hotspot Active" and back and forth a few times before finally giving up with 4G and just staying on the "3G Hotspot Active" mode. Is there anyway to fix this? Is 4G Hotspot mode not supported with this rom?
Thanks

Sprint hot spot app wont work with 4g with the hack, use wireless tether app for 4G

^^He beat me to it. Just use wireless tether. It works. I use the rom & the app.

Thanks guys! Looks like it works. I thought I tried it before and it switched over to 3G just like the Sprint Hotspot.
Does anyone know why the Sprint Hotspot doesn't allow 4G?

It does allow 4G technically, the 4G just doesn't work with the hack.

Right, but I was wondering what the technical reason was. Just interested...

[Q] 4G tether question

Does 4G tether work on cm7? I tried going on facebook and it wouldn't work until I switched back to 3g tether. I'm guessing its not fully functional yet.

I know it works on Sense based roms because I used to tether my devices while connected to 4G almost daily before I got rid of my DSL and went back to Roadrunner Internet Service. Keep in mind that I was using the Wireless Tether app. I don't see why it shouldn't work on CM7. Are you using the Wireless Tether app or Sprint's Hotspot feature? If it's the latter, it is my understanding that the "hacked" Sprint Hotspot app only supports 3G, but if you're paying Sprint for the feature, you have 4G capabilities with it.

Well I'm using CM7's hotspot feature but I'll definitely try out the tethering app and get back to you.

Okay. No problem. If it's not pre-installed by default with CM7, you can download it for free via the Market....

[Q] USB Tethering Question

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?

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..)
