Sprint WiFi Hotspot apk -Froyo

I am looking for a way to disable authentication? This is easily done on an Evo... See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838644
Calkulin has a hack for the Evo to disable it, anyone port this to the Epic?

Also maybe if someone could port the disable usb debugging icon even when enabled too?

If you are rooted and install one of the latest froyo roms like quantum 1.3 or 1.4
its built in and working.

OR you can cancel your sprint wifi hotpot ($30/month savings) and just use wireless tether, which is free. Just sayin...

Is there any app that lets you tether to your ps3? Non ad hoc

This is why I want the Sprint one and just disable the authntication as they have already done with the evo, downside is they have not got 4g to wifi working as 4g uses mac adress for authentication possibly.
I already have WiFi tether app that works with 3g and 4g but the mode is ad-hoc and certain things like xbox, ps3, psp need infrastructure mode. I would be happy if we could get as far as Evo and get and have working infrastructure 3g without authentication restriction.

Can someone confirm this?

I used Quantum 2.5 for a few days. The Sprint Hotspot app was working fine for me.

do you pay for it? can you confirm it was sprint hotspot and not wifi tether

yeah i've been on quantum since 1.0, on 2.7 now and i dont think it works. it activates, lets you connect and "looks" like you have internet but activating the hotspot deactivates 3g for some reason. gives you the registration error.
that being said, i downloaded caulkins mod and will look into seeing if i can replicate it on the epic. i'm guessing i'll hit a roadblock as i'm sure people have tried this already, but we'll see!
looks like Caulkin is who made that MOD for the evo, i asked him on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10382458#post10382458 if he could provide a how to as the same hack might work for us.
right now i'm just comparing a stock framework.jar with his mod. first delta i found is classes.dex/android/content/pm/registeredservicescache.smali but i dont know if that means anything yet, we'll see.

will this hack work on the shift also>>??

Upgrade to the newest wifi tether, version 3. It works in infrastructure mode. It's still marked as experimental, but it did work for me.

Agreed, the newest wifi tether actually launches sprint AP with authentication disabled. I've read that its a little buggy, but I used it yesterday for about 10 min browsing the web with no issue.

Using the newest tether (v3) has actually reset my phone, IE erased the data/factory reset. Kinda annoying.

How? No one ever gives instructions.
Is there a way to get a free hotspot or wifi tether on an UNROOTED Epic?
Thanks,
Sam

For free? The short answer is no. You can download the ap apps like wireless tether from the market, but without root permissions, the apps will not work. Some reason your hesitant to root your phone?

Requires a rooted phone.
Backup your phone with CWM3 as this app is still experimental and can cause issues.
Download pre10 or pre12 version 3.
Correctly install with ADB or a file/app manager.
Shutoff 4g and open app.
Select your device profile as Epic 4G
Start app and verify it successfully started (no errors, binaries installed etc.)
Don't worry when you see Sprint Hotspot activated message as this app uses something from the Sprint app
Start 4G
Supports infrastructure mode

[Q] wifi tether success???

I am running ec05 urban regeneration 1.2 and running wifi tether version 3.0-pre3 and it has been the most stable, but things like, if it is plugged into the charger and I unplug it the phone reboots, stopping the wireless tether causes the phone to reboot, and my phone hitting 100% on the battery causes the phone to reboot. It is Kind of a pain in the ass lol. I have seen some people swear by version 3 pre14 but when I start tether with that I can connect with my ps3 or laptop, but there is no data connection.
SO.... anyone having fully reliable wifi tether? on what rom? and what version of the wireless tether?

Try pre-13/14

You should check out the Hotspot hack. I don't think you will use WifiTether or Wired tether again but Ghostrid3r is right 3 pre 14 worked well for me as did 3.1 beta 2

WIFI tether always worked, but I always had an issue with the unit getting hot when tethering and charging and with after 40/60 minutes the phone resetting.
I have been running the HotSpot hack now under EG22, and it works very well, I haven't had the reason to run it for more than 30 minutes so far, but it has been stable.

wifi tether 3.1 beta 2 works great for me on bonsai 4.1.3

Is there a wifi tether out that is working for the e4gt ?

Check out the sprint hotspot hack. Sorry for no link. Think it might be in the themes/app section

The previous 2 posts handle all of your needs. Hotspot hack is only for 3g right now Wifi Tether works great for 4g needs

Anyone running the calukin (sp?) rom and can get their wifi tether to work? I've asked in the rom thread, but no reply.

STOCK E4GT with root... when I try to load any version of Wifi Tether it makes my wifi radio not work again at ALL until I uninstall wifi tether AND run another app that utilizes the wifi radio like the kies app after a restart. This is consistent after 4 different version attempts. I do NOT want to try to the deodexed hotspot hack until the LOS fix is official, because I do not want to run anything but stock until then. Anyone in my boat that has figured out how to make it all play nicely?

Let me see if I have what you said right. Without any tether app installed, just the sprint hotspot, the hotspot works. But then if you install wireless or wifi tether it makes the sprint hotspot not work?
I had the same issue. Until I did the same.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App

...not entirely. I mean the wifi could not connect to an access point until I ran the kies app. Did not try the stock tether app, because I don't want to pay for a service that I may use a couple times a year.
Also, seeing your sig you may be the person to help me. What is the best speed controller/motor combo for an old school RC10T that I want to get going again in a big way? Reverse stopped working a while ago and I am pretty sure the motor is shot as well. Been seeing some people clock ridiculous speeds with some of the new repower kits out there.

Never have been an electric guy, always nitro. But the brushless stuff is where its at and running lipo batts. Castle creations is one of the best companies out along with teken. Pricey stuff but they are well worth it. If you want more shoot me a pm.

WiFi Tether Compatible with PS3

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?

Ive had the same problems with wifi tether not being recognized. The hotspot hack does work though but without 4G its like waiting for paint to dry
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

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

[Q] Does Evo 4g have a hotspot feature?

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

My PC and XBOX all read the wireless tether app. Make sure you have the latest one downloaded from google and not the market.
