are you running a custom rom? if so most of them have the sprint hotspot unlocked and that works fine too...Also with wireless tether try going to settings and change the LAN-Network and see if any of those settings help.

I'm running custom Fresh Rom, and i just tried to run Sprint Hotspot and it works! Thank you so much!

Any sense roms with the built in hotspots working

Are there any sense roms with the built-in hotspots feature working? I like cm 6 because of the hotspots but I miss sense.
Pretty sure that most ROMs come with wireless tether. If you flash one that doesn't, then just install it yourself.

I've tried it many times. That app disconnects after a few minutes of use.

You might want to try a different version of wireless tether. I'm using pre8 and am having no issues.

Fresh uses the app, not the native tethering.

did you check the development section. Hotspot hack was just posted...
Wireless tether for root users is working fine for me.
wifi tether 3.0 beta works for me. I am on zedomax kernel v3, though

Did you enable wifi encryption? While in the app, click on the MENU KEY>SETTINGS>and select ENABLE WIFI ENCRYPTION...by default, the key is "abcdefghijklm" but you can set it to any 13 character string...I'd recommend just using the default 1st

I'm running it right now from my iPad. It's v3 beta 6. Running on stock rom with stock eg30plus kernel. Pm me if you want to try this one. No configuration needed just make sure you are rooted and it works fine on 3G and 4g

Did you try enabling wifi encryption? I use it at work everyday when I set up the VPN client on users laptops. You can't hit the VPN gateway from w/in the network, so I use the wifi tether app to login from outside the firewall and it works great!
The wifi hack is nice since it is the stock wifi tether app being used.

I like it that way better so I can use my control widget to turn it on and off from my home screen.
try and see if a different wifi device sees it, id bet its a laptop wifi issue and not your phone..just check with anything wifi

I tried this version and it works! Thanks. I didn't need to enable encryption for it to work. Under Device-Profile I left it on auto.

sweet! 10char
Capped at .4 kbps
I thought I fixed the issue but it's back to being really slow on 4g and 3g. Tried factory reset and that didn't help. If anyone has an idea or suggestion I'd appreciate it. I'm running stock rooted kernel.
What is the need for a tethering app when there's an option to tether under settings?

Do we know if the Sprint Hotspot hack tethers 4G?
That's it? Just so you dont have to use a usb? When you use a app instead of the option in settings does that use our unlmited data or will it be capped?

It does not because the person(Necrosan) that is being given credit for the 3g hack states in his thread since he does not have 4g in his area to do testing. You can go on his thread and see if you can be a tester so that we may be able to get the hack going. But for now you would need a third party app to use 4g tethering unfortunately

Try "android-wifi-tether", version 3.1 beta 7. Go into settings and set device profile to the S2.
Worked fine for me this a.m.
So it appears to be working with android-wifi-tether however I permanently have the "Security policy restricts use of Internet Sharing" showing on my screen (when I activate the tether) until I reboot the phone, can anyone else on Juggs 5.0 confirm they have tethering manager in titanium backup or can they get Wifi Tethering to work without the feature added to their account?
Try the app barnacle wifi tether.

Quick question are any of you trying the native hotspot (settings--->hotspot) because treve Mod doesn't work on 4.3
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
As already mentioned, TrevE wifi tether does not work on 4.3. In order to get native hot spot working you'll need to first flash the wifi fix via Odin on your pc only. You have to unzip the wifi fix zip file first then flash it using the pda button in odin. All this info is in LorJay's thread.
required for hot spot hack to work: rooted, deodexed, flash wifi fix using odin on pc, flash hotspot hack, success
