I just received my replacement Evo from Sprint and it's on 2.3. Can someone link the file for me? Thanks
smh... its in the settings on the phone.
go to menu->wireless settings->sprint hotspot
but unless you have it added to your plan and are paying $30 a month for it it wont work. and since you arent rooted you cant use any of the wireless tether apps from the market. so you will have to wait for root or pay. your choice. hope that helps
Use can use easy tether or pdanet to hook up via usb, but that's about it.
They are free, but you have to pay to visit secured sites.
Well I know you have to pay for pdanet, not sure about easy tether
On easy tether you have to pay but there's a key gen that will give you the code to unlock it free

Thanks to the OP for asking this as i my gf is upgrading tomorrow to the EVO and i didnt know about the "no-root" issue....so there is NO way to get wireless tether? That was on of the biggest perks to her as she isnt into technology a lot but likes how i could use my 3g connection to give wifi to her ipod...thanks for the help.
Not really a good app for free teathering until someone can manage to root or unlock the bootloader. I always have left my bootloader,s-off,for very similiar reasons. Good luck.

I loaded an app called foxfi on my verizon phones and it works perfect for wireless tether(unrooted) but on my employees sprint phone, it doesn't come up in the market. I even tried to "bump" the app over. What I did notice is Verizon phones call it "Play Store " and is no longer "Market" as the evo has.
Anyone know of a good app?
Search for a thread called "4.67 collection" by Tommytommatoe they have all of the mods for 4.67 available.

Barnacle works but if your on cm7 there's one built in

And built in CM7 is the way to go. Personal Verizon experience fr years, never been charged a nickle for cm7 included, or the wifi tether app here (if for some reason your not getting results with the cm7 pre-built): http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Often my cm7 wifi tethering is more effective than my shared dsl line into my house.
I'm getting nervous... I'm a week away from the end of my billing cycle and I've used almost 10gb with the wifi tether on cm7... think they'll know?

i've used android-wifi-tether and android-wired-tether on my droid eris... worked great.
but now i can't get android-wired-tether to work on DINC2... rooted stock. frustrating. I like wired tether better so that i don't kill my battery while tethering. any other wired tether options out there for rooted stock? or any patches for wired-tether?

I wasn't able to get wired tether to work either. When I tether I just use wifi tether and plug my phone into the computer. Still works and charges at the same time.

Just to make a short story shorter, I recently went back to eco5 because I found it to be the most stable. I used the wireless hotspot hack on eg22 and eh17. Just wondering if there is a hotspot hack for eco5 or anything that could be used to do what wireless hotspot does.
I do believe last time I was on ec05 I used barnacle wifi, which was as fast as dial up, so anything but barnacle please.

The hack allows you to use the built in "Sprint Hotspot" instead of having to use a beta version of the WifiTether app. It works great as well. The hack was made compatible,with some ROMs. Our devs and themers have been adding it as well

Once you use the hotspots hack nothing else will compare. The only problem I had with wifi tether is the phone would become very hot quicky.

What kernel are you running? I am on Rebirth w/Genocide kernel and I get about zero heat.
I'm using genocide, on sfr, and I get major heat too.
Also, there is a other wifi tether app on the market called Open Garden. I haven't been able to make much use of it, so I can't give you any recommendation on it, but it is there.
Sent from a secret underground bunker
Heat is always an issue with tethering. You are using the phone's 3G or 4G radio 100% of the time. This is why some tethering apps also display battery temperature.
I use open garden and it works great. It even allows my ipod to connect to my phone vs when I used the wifi tether that is included in most roms would not allow ipod to connect to phone.

What I do to eliminate the heat issue is to plug it into a wall charger or usb port and this will do 2 things 1, keep the battery from getting hot
2 keep the phone charged while your tethering, the last thing you want is to run out of battery after you've tethered god forbid you wanted to order a pizza and had no juice to make the call,, that's just scary.

Haha true, but most corporate pizza places let you order online nowadays
There is one available, QBKing77 has a "how to" as well on youtube which includes the link for the flashable zip. As for the heat, it is what it is, I use "System Panel App" as my task killer, which has system monitor so I can check batt temp, but there really isn't much you can do to prevent it, just keep a eye on it- good luck

I'm using the one for srf1.2...works great. Not sure if it'll work w/o the srf rom. There's not one listed for just ec05, but srf is based on ec05 (up to you if you wanna try it w/o it). I've used open garden, wireless tether...yada, yada, yada. This hack is the best by far, imo. Qbking77 has a "how to" on youtube with the links for the zip.

Wanted to share this with anyone who isn't aware. We can tether our ET4G on 4G but it requires USB and a 3rd party app. I tested it tonight with the free version of EasyTether and it works like a charm. Not personally interested in spending $10 for the full app but to some it may be worth it.
I haven't tested Klink but it's only $4 and it may work as well as a cheaper alternative.

Sweet, checking that out now. I see the free version doesn't allow https. I'll have to download the app to see how much the full version costs because I don't see it listed in the market.
To use these tethering method doesn't required the phone to be rooted, right? Also, will I be charged if I try to use it and can sprint figure out that I am tethering for free? I don't want to get a bill for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. How safe it is to tether undetected and are lots of people doing it for free with no penalty? I would like to tether for free but am just too afraid of getting caught and charged for it.
To be honest with you I used to have AT&T and now I have sprint and i've never once got a txt or anything in the mail telling me to stop. On AT&T I was running Cyanogen Mod and on my ET4G i'm running Calkulin's which has NoCIQ. If you aren't familiar with NoCIQ it basically makes it so sprint can't tell how your phone is using the data.
I wouldn't trust tethering if you're running a stock rom, even if the dev of the software says it's safe.

I think you might want to quantify your statement regarding NoCIQ. I've yet to see any published report from any reliable source showing it being used for data measurement. All a carrier has to do is look for unusual spikes in data volume.

I've had an android on sprint for almost 2 years now, always rooted, always tethering, always stock rom. Ciq still on there. They have never told me anything. And I always use 3rd party apps for tethering. I honestly don't think they know/care. At the end of the day, it works for the most of us, and we don't really abuse it; thus, they really shouldn't have a problem with it. They're bull**** hot spot app from sprint is ridiculously slow anyway. There's a huge difference in speed... its almost like they want us to find our own way of tethering lol.
That's my rationale and I'm sticking to it.

You may be right.. but they would have to prove what is using the data.. I have a torrent app on my phone I download stuff with and that uses a ton of data with out being tethered.

I have no idea how the data looks to Sprint, I have yet to see them care.
