Epic and PS3 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My epic has SRF 1.2 and the genocide 1.1 kernal. It came loaded with wifi teather which is working very well. I tried connecting it to my ps3 and it did not work. To my understanding it is because ps3 need infrastructure mode to work. I have wifi teather 3.0 pre11. Is there a newer version that can support the ad-hoc or infrastructure mode that the ps3 needs? Is there a link to the download? Thanks

Flash this drop boxlink here in clockwork and use the built in sprint hotspot, which will be called wireless hotspot

what are u saying ?
lol

It says for ef02 only. So will it work with srf 1.2 and genocide 1.1 kernal? My epic was ec05 stock. So I uninstall my current hotspot app and flash the other one and use the sprint hotspot, will this charge me?

Dude do not tell me you are trying to play black ops with a 3g connection I will be so pissed if I ever get into a game with your connection. Laggy as hell

How did you get wifi pre 11 to work. My ps3 finds the teather but when I press connect it fails to find the ip address.

Lol, I was streaming 720p on Netflix last night on 3G when my Comcast Cable died. I was using Wireless tether built into my Nexus S. DL speeds are around ~2200kbps.

A 3G connection for your PS3 is pointless. Though I have sucessfully done it for the sake of 'Signing in' on my PS3 to play Combat Training with Black Ops. Anyway, if you're going to tether to your PS3 wether it be 3G or 4G, grab a Laptop, grab a ethernet cable, and hook one end to the laptop and the other to the PS3, and turn on internet sharing on your Laptop. I've used sprint's 4G service to play black ops, it even put me as host and everyone had a pretty stable game. The most you'll get off 3g is signing on to PS3 though.

*EDIT*: After Proof-Reading, even though it's common sense to me, it may not be for all, make sure you setup your PS3 to a 'Wired' Setup so it can pick up the Laptop's Internet Sharing. Have Fun. Post Feedback on your success!

Sprint Hotspot

Besides Myns Rls5 who else uses the Sprint Hotspot
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I don't use Myn's...CM7 user...but I think just about everyone sues the hotspot.
Most custom roms nowadays has the hacked hotspot. I'm on MikFroyo with a hacked hotspot. I know Nuggysunlimited's is also hacked. Those are the ones that I have personally used and tested at one point or another.
Sent from MikFroyo w/Cyan Dragon. A work of art
Does a hacked one mean an ability to use your hotspot without being raped by Sprint ?
If you weren't getting raped by Sprint, then it wouldn't be hacked.
But yes, you can use it for free, without getting charged on a hacked hotspot.

Yep! All you have to do is open Sprint hotspot and click ok. Then it gives you options to turn it on, change the name of your router (phone), and choose your security type and change the password.
That's it, your all set to go surfing!!!
My doors are open if anyone needs to PM me for assistance with anything pertaining to your Evo. I love mine and have learned so much and love to help others, so feel free to hit me up.
Also Wireless Tether App in Market
I'm not entirely sure what the differences are, but there is also the "Wireless Tether for Root users" in the market. I've been using this for a bit and it works great.
I'm on MikFroyo 4.5 and use the Sprint Hotspot. For some reason the Wireless Tether from the market didn't wan't to work for me. They're both basically do the same thing though.

I haven't been able to use wireless tether in a while, unfortunately. But yea, they are the same...I keep getting "started up with errors." I tried the newer one, and the older version of it.
One thing to check with wireless tether is make sure you allow your connected device in the security settings.
Evo with Destroyer rom
Hi, been searching the forum to see if the sprint hot spot is hacked on the new destroyer rom "gingerbread".

Destroyer is AOSP, so it doesn't have Sprint Hotspot. However, it is CM7 based so I assume it has the native hotspot that's included in CM7.

Wireless Tether for Epic Advice!

Hey everybody.
I am in need of having my wireless tether run in infrastructure mode instead of adhoc.
I am running a Rooted Epic. Stock ROM/Kernel.
I don't mind flashing kernels if required.
Thank you for your help!!!
Go here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount
And choose one of the wifi tether 3.0.0 versions,
I recommend backing apps and info in case something gets corrupted and you may want to get any of the custom kernals in the development section will make it work better.
This ones are experimental so use at ur own risk and always have a backup. They do infrastructure
Thanks for the advice. I downloaded the genocide 1.0 kernel. Installed it.
When I install any of the 3.0 wifi tether apps, the app starts as normal, requests super user request. I grant it. It then vibrates and reboots....
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Hmm have you tried any custom roms...
maybe its a stock rom issue..
also did u try pre 11 ?
If you want to dive in to roms, i reccomend Bonsai first choice or Syndicate for second choice.
You may also want to make sure in the wifi settings to select your device in the profile, then select softap in the setup method and enable mss clamping as well as access control
if those settings dont work on stock rom with genocide then i reccomend getting a custom rom, i use pre11 on bonsai no problem.
Also question are u trying to start wifi tether with 4g on?
if so thats the problem and you need to start in 3g then turn on 4g after it started.
Right on! Thank you.
Yes you hit the nail on the head with having 4g on.
Disabled 4g. Connected via wireless tether 3 pre11 bamn online no issues.
Stock ROM / Genocide 1.0 Kernel.
Problem with me and the epic is I get way to involved and find my self wasting hours of time dealing with roms / updates / etc. So I have elected to stay with EC05 + root + Kernel.
Again thank you for your help, being a Network guy I understand what it takes getting good support.

not a problem, what so ever, just been on these forums and reading a lot since the epic came out so i know my share of stuff.
Oh and im actually going to school working on my network degree
Hello I had a related question: I just rooted my EPIC with the stock filesystem yesterday. This was mainly for tethering my Nook color and I used the 2.5.5 CWM version in the sticky for rooting.
I've tried the 3.0 pre 12 release of wifi tether. Following are the problems:
1) On enabling Wifi Tethering, I get a message Sprint "Hotspot Connected" in the notification. And if I click on hotspot connected it takes me right to the Sprint Hotspot! Now does this imply that the 3.0 version ACTUALLY uses the Sprint's hotspot service? In which case, I shall have to pay the $30? Can anyone confirm this?
2) I get awful speeds on my 4g. While my phone gives 4-5 meg download, on tethering with wifi tether, I get very low speeds like barely .5 mbps. In fact the 3G is actually faster than 4G using WiFi tether. Any idea what seems to be throttling the 4G speeds? (and yes, I disconnect 4G before tether and then put it back on).
Thanks in advance!
When it says sprint hot spot activated it activated it with out actually authenticating anything as if u look in the sprint hotspots settings u see the checkbox isn't checked to activate it that's is because the wifi tether app by passes the authentication there for it is free as for slow 4g speeds its a know issue on wifi tether and don't think we will see a fix anytime soon so stick with 3g or don't use it also I think some people have better speeds with pre 10 or 11 on 4g I wouldn't know where as I don't have 4g

Thanks for the reply.
So If I understand correctly, you are saying that the Sprint hotspot is activated but NOT authenticated. This means there will NOT be any charges i.e no $29.99 fee. Correct?
As for the 4G speeds, it's a bummer that it's slow on wifi tether. I'm not sure there is a choice of selecting any other program, as it seems that ONLY wifi tether supports infrastructure routing. That said, I'm ok with 3G speeds (better than nothing).
Thanks again for replying promptly. Much appreciated!!

not a problem bro and yes no charges as it is bypassing the authentication been using it for awhile and no fees
I'm using the viper rom, and I had the same problem of the wifi forcing closing but it seems to work when I go from wifi to hotspot ( I did for testing pruposes, I need it for work Ideally) but when I'm at work and on a 3g connection even 1x (its an old building) it will feeze crash then reboot, but ill try it again.
Does 4g have to be off for hotspotting to work or just not be connected?
And I work at radioshack. I get an employee discount, and when I was having some problems with an unrelated issue, so I called employee line help and hinted about illegally hotspoting, they said the could detect that and charge me. Should I be worried because I'm on an empolyee line? Or is their threat BS?
Thanks for helping a noob.

I wouldn't worry about the threat I've been tether since it first came out and I haven't got any warnings bills or anything u should be fine
As for the force closing, what pre version are u using I'm able to tether 1x and 3g on bonsai Tom on pre 11 and this one has been the mist stable for me.
Also try clearing wifi tether data in settings/manage applications/all/wifi tether/clear data
Or uninstall it and reinstall it
Also try other versions maybe u will have better luck with another version.

Pre is the version b4 the final kinda like a beta Goto the site above that I posted and u will see they have 3.0.0 versions that have Pre after showing the latest
Sent from my iPod touch cause epic is bricked or dead
To those not happy with their 4g tethering speeds, I wonder if possibly the root of the cause has something to do with the fact that wifi and 4g will not both enable at the same time (maybe they share some kind of a channel, the same way some devices share irqs, internal laptop devices may share a usb root hub).
In any event, in my experience the wired tether app is MUCH faster on 4G. I want to say I've gotten somewhere between 8-11mbps over USB. Hope this helps someone.

For wired tethering:
Goto settings/wireless and networks/ tethering for usb tethering
or for wireless its a built in app called wireless hotspot
and since its made for our phone and built into our settings:
you wont have crashes disconects, slower speeds and it will work on 4g flawlessly

[Q] Any low cost or free 4G Tethering Options?

Ever since the last time I installed a rooted ROM (stock Sense ICS edit: gingerbread), neither Wifi Tether nor Wireless Tether will work with my laptop. The apps launch and seem to run ok, but a few minutes after my laptop connects, it then disconnects! After that it wont connect anymore unless I close either tethering app and re-start them.
I have been using PDA Net, which is fine, but the free version won't connect to secure sites. Before I give up and pay for the full version, I thought I'd check and see if there are any other option available.
My requirements are:
Works with 4G
Works with secure sites.
I would prefer a wireless solution so I can use it with my (cough) iPad as well, but that would be a luxury.
I have not confirmed that my wireless issue is due to either app. Wifi Tether used to work with my previous ROM (also a stock Sprint rooted ROM). I flashed to an updated ROM because I could not get my Bluetooth working with the last one. Now Bluetooth works, but I've lost the ability to use Wireless tethering!
I'm kind of afraid to flash to a ROM with unlocked Sprint wireless tether because I don't want something else to break!

Sorry, I meant Gingerbread.
I'm on 2.3 Android, and using Wireless tether 2.07, And she ain't working for me. That is why I'm looking for another tethering method.
Guess I'll just have to re-flash and take my chances with breaking bluetooth again. I wanted to avoid that cause when I was trying to fix my Bluetooth before, nobody here was able to help. I had to reflash then too.
This is like trying to"fix"Windows by reinstalling it. You're not really fixing anything.

I'll go ahead and link you to a thread will appropriately address this one. Please read through the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471025
Well, I'm more puzzled than ever now.
My question asks about the existence of wireless tethering apps OTHER than WiFi Tether and Wireless Tether, specifically apps that are not restricted to non secure sites.
I spent almost a full hour searching before I posted, but I did not mention that in my question as I did not think it was pertinent.
I had already looked at the sticky about wireless tethering, but that thread discusses wireless tethering SPEED issues - not my issue. Again, my issue is loosing the connection between my phone and client (originally my laptop, but since confirmed with my iPad) when using either of the two mentioned wireless apps.
As long as the tether stays connected, I have no problem with 4G speed. But I only remain connected for two or three minutes.
And the thread Concordium linked to seems to be about bashing the original poster of that thread, so no help there either. Unless I missed something.
Wireless tether for root connects to anysite you want I use it everyday on 2 devices works just fine connecting to anything I need

Thanks. I mentioned in my original post that both Wireless Tether and Wifi Tether are not working on my EVO.
Initially they do start and connect, but within 2 to 3 minutes they both stop tethering. I'm starting to wonder if some other app may be interfering.
Does anybody know for sure if my phone's WiFi should be running or not? Sometimes I get that "What the hell..." message.
I reread your original post and it looks like you answered your own question in your original post. It DID work until you flashed to another ROM. So common sense would suggest that it is some kind of issue with the ROM or the way it is setup. Perhaps you should take a look at that and use that in your query. If you don't want to flash something else then that's cool. But you're not going to fix your problem until you fool around with it.
Well, yes, but Like I said above, sometimes I get that "What the hell? Your phone takes over the WiFi..."
I don't know if you are familiar with that. It suggests to me that something is hijacking my WiFi radio.
Maybe I need to learn how to ask better questions.

So i do my homework before i post. Thanx in advance guys
Nat 3 refers to Wireless with a bad connection.
I'd recommend getting Wireless tether and not using the sprint hotspot hack. I believe wireless tether is in the market, but if it's not you can easily find an APK.
Also, I'm not accusing you in anyway, shape, or form. But a lot of idiots can root their phone (I'm not calling you dumb or anything),, and never stop bugging rom devs.

Tried static IP address on ps3? Maybe the limited connection is DNS issue.

I do not use a custom rom. I'm rooted with stock EL29, and Rouge recovery. I also have the ACS AIO mod isntalled (which includes Sprint hotspot mod). I've used this to tether to my laptop and share connection to my Xbox, without any NAT issues.
I'd imagine if that method works for me, then the same setup (minus the laptop as a bridge) would work even better for you on the PS3.

Why would u add that? "any idiot can root a phone" so what if they can? I jus wanna kno how to work around nat3. If you added that because i included all the mods done to my phone,im sure i would hav gotten "we need more info"

Even if you manage to get to NAT2 the ping times are going to be very high - over 100ms, probably around 130ms or higher. If you're fine with say, shooting at someone and finding out they were 10 feet to the right the entire time then go for it. Otherwise get REAL internet.
As said before, try setting a static IP for your PS3 or using the USB tether function, that might get you to NAT2. Also get something like Droidwall and firewall all programs while tethering. Turn off background data and sync also. Lastly, you might try this and see if it helps also. That's all I got.
Yea, good luck playing a high end video game online with your 3g/4g connection.. It works, but lags. As suggested already, use wifi tether or another tether app and use it wired, not the hotspot or wireless tether. And wouldnt recommend online gaming lol unless you want your scores to drop

What this guy said is very true. 3G is not good for online gaming, especially when the game is unoptimized and expects a broadband connection. I tried playing Quake 3 on my phone over 3g once. It lagged to all hell. The only way to play was to install the dreamcast dialup optimizations.
This is such a terrible idea lol. "Hey guys I'm gonna go play Gears of War over 3G." Lagfest waiting to happen.
3g sucks for online gaming lol. However I played over 4g before and the connection was pretty stable and playable!

Well a 12mb/s connection ain't no joke. Assuming you can get something like that with wimax.

Yeah I get better internet speeds over WiMax than I do with my :"15mbps" internet at home. Just the ping was way higher, which is really what matters in most online video games.

I get 2-3 bars throughout my home on 4g so my speeds are always around 6-12MB/s. I also stream hd fine on my ps3 thru Netflix, Vudu, and Hulu Plus!
