I hope I'm in the correct forum...
I have rooted and flashed VirusROM on my HTC EVO 4G. I used to be able to use Sprint's Hotspot app to tether Wifi to my carputer. I was using it Thursday on the way to my in-law's place for Thanksgiving. I left and then could not get it to work again. The computer connects and the signal is at full strength but all browsers say "Page cannot be displayed" and my weather updates down load anymore. I tried using other computers/devices and all connect but none show an internet connection. I can use Google Maps, send/receive pics and videos, and use the internet on my EVO but I cannot share it. Did Sprint cut me off? Is there a setting I mistakenly changed?? I was under the impression that I can tether for free when its rooted. I even download to different tether apps and got the same results. Anybody have any suggestions? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Although I am not using wifi tether, I am using the built in wireless tether through Miui. It is working flawlessly on my Mac. I suggest you change your SSID and maybe your password. If no success delete your network settings and try again.

I've never heard of Miui. I'll try that next. I already tried changing the SSID, the passwords, and even the encryption type and nothing worked...I'm gonna go back and try it all again. Thanks for the input, dude!!
Didn't know Miui was a ROM...I like the way I have everything set on Virus so I was hoping to not have to change ROM's. Thanks again though! Please keep suggestions coming, guys!

Try this link, not sure which one will work for you but the pre-14 works for me. Just try each one untill you find one that works on your ROM, sorry I can't point you to ont that I know will work on that rom. I know the link says Nexus one but they will work on the Evo just fine. Most of these act just linke a router, not an ad-hoc.

That was one of the other tether apps I tried...that and barnacle...I downloaded and tried it again and it still didn't work...thanks for the info!

I tried the top 3 but none worked...I don't think thats the problem though because tethering worked up until Thursday and then it stopped for all apps. I had that app working before...thanks again

One last ditch effort, try changing the channel to channel one in one of the wireless tether app, just saw a post where this fixed the problem for some people. Good luck

Sprint's HotSpot and Wifi Tether don't give the option and Barnacle was already set on Channel 1 :/ Thanks though
Wireless tether is what I was talking about I use pre 14, just open the app and menu/settings, its the 4th option down.
I don't know how I missed that option. I went in and changed it to Channel 1 but no change...my roommate came home and sparked up his Incredible's hotspot and it worked perfectly of the bat...something has got to be wrong with my EVO
does your evo say that a device connected and does it show that anything downloaded under the wireless tether app mine used to get stuck at just over 1kb of data then i modded my framework_res.apk and somehow i can tether again
It does seem to stay on a very low KB like 1.1...although it does show the devices that are connected...
Mine did the exact same thing although im not entirely sure what I did that fixed this I edited the xml code for the notification bar and edited the notification bar which somehow caused my tethering to work

Sorry to hear that...its so damn frustrating!
Yea it is, i'm about to work on some homework, any chance if you get it working, you think you can pm me how you fixed it ? thanks in advance
Any other thoughts?? Is there a way to test to see if the actual hardware failed?
I saw it for a second then it dissappeared. Said something to the fact that they know I am not subscribed to the Sprint Hotspot..... I am using the [ROM] Synergy - [RLS1+GodMode 08/05/2011] - Now With Warm Sprinkles!
What do I do????
1. Maybe you're paranoid? 2. I'm kidding, I got one too and was not even tethering at the time.
World peace with no regard for human life.

i take it you were using the sprint hotspot thats in the setting? it will say that but its hacked and you wont be charged. but i recommend using the app that is included called wireless tether its at the bottom of your app drawer because you can use 4g with that as apposed to the sprint hotspot where you cannot.
Was it just today? Are you using the same rom? I wonder if I should use one of the tether programs instead of the hotspot
i just stay away from the sprint hotspot and use the app. its easier and 4g is much more helpful than 3g when tethering

im using the same rom and was tethering not 15 hours ago to my friends xbox and no message. but i use the wireless tether app from the market and not the sprint hotspot. which may be your problem. so just stay away from the sprint hotspot and you should be fine
I am reflashing to EVO Deck Rom, which is VERY Good. See if I still get the error. If so, Ill try the tether program.......
So far so good on the EVO Deck rom. No message, and hotspot active

thats good then. but like i said the sprint hotspot in rls1 synergy has been hacked so you can use it without paying. but you will still get the message. but the message doesn't mean anything since its been hacked. see what im getting at?
so its like this
1.turn on hotspot
2.get love message
3.still use tether and no problems
No because I tried that, and it would not work after I got the message
Does anyone have the full text of that message? It has come on my screen before, but it seems that it always happens while I am in the middle a using swype and the swyping dismisses the message before it can be read.
I use a stock rooted rom, with no hotspot hack. My hotspot has just "worked" from day one of my Evo ownership, around a year ago. I am on my 2nd Evo, as the first one had a failed charging port.
I was rooted and running Barnacle just fine in Froyo, then upgraded to GB. Now it does not seem to be working. Im rooted in GB still (just be a different program) and it shows Barnacle has root access.
It goes and says NAT is unavail, restarting NAT.. and nothing after that.
Heres a screen shot of what its saying:
Guess this is a common error with GB
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...e-any-roms-dont-have-wifi-tether-blocked.html
Seems like GB has a built in wifi/hot spot thats taking over control of the avail network.
So far i havnt come across a fix
Also tried Open Garden to no avail
----------------------------------
EDIT: Update in post #7
Anyone find anything for a work around?
Im thinking about going back to Froyo
Anyone get wifi tether working?

Can you link me to what you used?
And are you on the stock ROM, just rooted?
GOT IT WORKING!
I followed these instructions after installing the wifi-tether beta 6
coopmatt80 said:
OK, got it to work.
I used the latest android-wifi-tether (beta 6). In the settings go to "Device Profile" and change it to Motorola Droid X, then connect. After you connect toggle the Pro into airplane mode and toggle it off again. You should be able to surf and will not get the "Verizon" pay wall. I know its one added step, but it's a whole lot easier and cheaper then paying $20+ more a month...

a bit late, but anyway in my droid pro stock rom there is a stock application named 3G Mobile Hotspot. it is exactly for tethering.

Yes you are correct. But with Verizon you have to pay an additional, I believe, $20 a month for the built in feature.
If you're rooted there are apps put there where you can do it for free at your own risk.
I did find a solution to the problem a week or two ago. But last Friday I upgraded to the Razr. And will have to find a work around for that phone haha.
I still can't get 3g to work with any ics rom does any 1 have any suggestions this is what ive tried.. Hands free activation.. Update prl n profile... Wipe all with calks format all... I tried every modem... I went to the extreme n used qpst n uploaded allmy phone info n settings..... N still no 3g keep in mind that it shows that 3g is connected n it shows the incoming n outgoing arrows but the only one that actually acts like is doing something is the outgoing arrow.... Can any one please help or suggest a solution... Thanks to all for all your help
Try keeping only one thread and btw I replied with a suggestion on the other one

If u Odin back to gb does it work then?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
The 3g works fine when i use a gb rom with a el29modem so i tried the el29 modem with ics but it doesn't work. Only ics roms give me this no 3g problem
I tried to send a picture thru mms to myself n it works like a charm so i wondering is it with the browser or some kind of setting that controls the browsers incomcoming data
I think i figured it out i i put in the dialer ##debug# then. I went to others n under hdrx1 i changed it from hybrid to cdma n it works then i tried Evdo but it didn't work
After a few days using the cdma only on the ##debug# menu it seems that it's slow as hell so im left to believe that its some sort of setting that ICS roms change on the phone cause every GB rom I've tried never gives any problems with my 3g.... I tried every known setting in qpst n i still can't get the 3g to work.... Keep in mind that my EPIC 4G TOUCH IS ON BOOST MOBILE.....
Today i tried changing the apn settings using any cut from the market i put in the boot mobile setting n it didn't work so now i don't know what to do
Same problem here...
I'm also on Boost Mobile and cannot get any ICS rom to work on my e4gt. Please post here once you find a solution, I have searched everywhere and to no avail. I have also used the roms while on 1x (cdma mode) and works but slows as hell!!
I just found this post on using setdns and ics works on boost !!

someone could copy and paste their apn text in this thread that has Jellybread rom running on their EVO 4g on cricket or metropcs. I dont get how internet could work but not mms. Ive tried all sorts of apns from all sorts of cricket phones and this is the ONLY thing stopping this from being the absolute best mod ive found! so fast and stable!

Thank you so much! To make things even more confusing when I was using cyanogenmod 10 rom mms was working perfectly, however I found the rom to be buggy, VERY SLOW and all around confusing. So I figured if I used the apn-conf.xml from that and put it in jellybreads apn-conf.xml (despite cgm's being sprit) ot should work! No dice. Ill give yours a shot n let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

If that APN is what got you hot and bothered, lol, be certain to link back to it in other threads for other users to be able to configure their setup as well. I don't even use my Evo for anything more than a music player, so I could very well not be capable of much more here.

well that apn work specifically for jellybread. Ive been searching for as i said 3 days for a simple custom rom that was stable and fast and fully functional (Minus 4g :,-() . all of them seemed to have major flaws, slow and bloated, threw my phone in a loop, far too many options confusing me.
but for wimax I'm convinced that since I have 4g included in my plan for cricket if i could figure out the right settings in qpst I could get on 4g too. Id probably get a heart attack though from excitement. Ive seen youtube videos for it but i could only hope. ill try posting a new thread for that though.
bless you!

The other cricket users of JellyBread and Kendallc123 herself may be as ecstatic as you if you can get 4g working with cricket, but you should link to this in the JellyBread thread so that the cricket users there see it. Also I'd thank user/dev Wambo_Bomb, since he is the one who left me that APN when he gave me his old Evo.
i spoke too soon. my phone said the message was sent, which before it wasn't even doing that but they aren't getting the pictures on the receiving phone. back to trying out different roms :,-(
though i despise having 2 different numbers for messaging and despise having a app for text and another for mms i suppose i can just use my text free account from pinger for images and my phone for text. obnoxious but it is a work around i suppose.

Cricket 4g will never work on the og. The reason is simple cricket 4g is lte while the og is wimax. Now as far as mms that will work but you have to make changes to the apn. I have attached one that I know works but you will have to edit the username in the apn. Unlike most carriers each cricket user has a unique user name. It is your phone number here is an example ( [email protected]). Easiest way way to do this is get apn backup and restore from playstore. Backup your current apn and then copy this one into the apnbackup folder that was created and edit the username. Turn on airplane mode delete apn then restore the cricket_sprint.XML file. Reboot phone and turn off airplane mode.
As long as your settings are correct in qpst then this will get your mms working. If you need further help feel free to pm me.

thank you for the link ill give it a shot. as i said before I've tried MANY apn settings so i do know how to do it. every apn ive tried for cricket or metropcs though has had different numbers in the other lines. (NOT the MDN line, i know you have to put your number in the mdn line) My settings in qpst have to be correct or internet wouldn't be working as well, because as I said the cryogenmod 10 rom was the only rom that mms, (and everything eles worked) for even though the apn was set to sprit. (makes no sense to me but it worked) But the rom was pretty much unusable on my phone with how much battery it drained, (2 and a half hours and the batter was gone) how slow it was, (cpu usage was constantly at 998mhz) and the rom was all around confusing for someone SOMEWHAT new to this stuff with too many options i didn't understand.
I think its something other than apn settings because the cryogenmod rom worked for mms and internet though the apn was set to sprint. all other roms ive tried has had either sms not working and/or mms not working and/or phone not working and/or contact lists not working something for the basic phone functions causes force close errors with all other mods.
once again it didn't work. the pictures say sent but are not being recived by the person im sending them too. SMS that are too long and converted to MMS come arcoss as code to the person they are sent too. I dont understand why one rom with sprint apn settings would work but this one wont. is it possible for roms to change qpst settings? i cant tell anymore though as i cant enter diagnostic mode.
