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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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,

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

try it without encryption just use access control you have to authorize each device from the phone once but it at least keeps people from using your bandwidth.
it is adhoc only though so some devices can't connect (mainly other phones tablets ect computers and the like are ok)
im currently on starburst 1.95 with the included kernel but i've yet to find a rom it didnt work on for me anyway
that sprint hack would be awesome if it had 4g enabled also
Thanks guys. I didn't know Adhoc wouldn't show up on my android and blackberry, the two devices I was testing to see if it would catch my SSID. Fired up my laptop and there it was. Sucks there's no infrastructure mode at the moment and hope they can fix that soon.
install the sprint hack from the dev section for those times you need infrastructure mode.
its only 3g but better than nothing.
Not sure what is the problem, im on stock rooted with LosKernel, and im able to ot use the latest Wireless Teather, with 4G on.. I connected my ipodtouch3G to check if it works, and it does
what are this ad-hoc and infrastructure stuff?

When I try to start tethering the reply message is " tether started with problems, please Check logs"
when I go to the logs, it tells me the file doesn't exist. I think this is my main problem.
When looking up the proper settings, enable mss Clamping was # 10 on the list, but there wasn't a setting for mss clamping.
