Which Tether app is working on the Epic Touch 4g that you can run AP or Infrastructure and use 3g or 4g service?
Thanks in advance.
wifi tether for root users in the market works for me (must have root) and is adhoc only.
but seems to wor over 3 and 4g just fine.
looking for a way to get infrastructure mode.
edit Infrastructure possible using the sprint hotspot hack from the dev section
but at the moment is 3g only and requires a deodex rom.
looking into getting one of the experimental versions of wifi tether with infrastructure mode working correctly on our phones (should be possible but no promises)

Tried the experimental versions of wifi tether, and I'm still not able to get infrastructure mode for the Epic 4g Touch working. While I was changing the setting for what kind of device I'm using, it looks like only the Adhoc option is enabled for all Samsung phones. If I tried to select an HTC phone and do softap, that didn't work either.

any update on this? would love to have infrastructure
I am using the 3.1 beta 6 version and I think it's working in infrastructure mode. My Asus tab doesn't like adhoc mode and it is working on this beta, so I am assuming infrastructure is working. Encryption doesn't though, but then I have never managed to get that working on this app, with this phone or my old Evo.

Hello all,
Back in my Blackberry days I could use QPST to copy my tether profile and it would allow me to tether with no issue on the Sprint network. I was wondering if anyone new the steps required to make this work with the EVO? I love wifi tether however even while on 4G the speeds never exceed 3G specs.
So can we hack with QPST and use the native sprint hostpot?
This is the process I was referring to... I just dont know if it works on the EVO.

Use Froyo's built-in WiFi hotspot on CyanogenMod6 =)

The reason I created this post was to get 4G speeds while tethering, cyanogen mod is not 4G. Anyone know if my original idea will work?
Best,

Update* Cant seem to get it working... anyone else have any luck?
any update on this?
I am now on the latest Bonsai and would like to add a wireless hotspot app. I need the infrastructure mode as I tried the one that only had ad-hoc before and my permissions on my work laptop would not allow me to connect. I see the mobile ap thread on the i9000 section. Is that the preferred way to go?
Thanks.
If you need infrastructure then mobile ap is the only way to go. So far it only works on eclair and not the froyo leak.
Is the wireless hotspot free?

this is all true. dude knows.
I am able to get wireless tethering to work unencrypted, but as soon as I turn on encryption ( tried all different encryption modes ) it gives me the message "tethering started with errors! Please check 'Show log'"
show log says "activating encryption (iwconfig)...failed
Any ideas on how to resolve this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless tether app to no avail. Thanks for any help.
I believe the ET4G can only do ad hoc so security is not supported out of the box. Someone will have to hack infrastructure mode.
i tried playing my xbox and it doesnt work.. i could easily do it with my evo 3d..
I'm having the same issue with encryption on wifi tethering. Error in iwconfig shows up in logs. Everything else works fine.
Adhock mode being the limitation doesn't seem to make sense... as I recall EVO 4G ran that way too and encryption worked... don't quote me though I could be wrong
Anyone have anything else on this?
OK I read up, seems the EVO could do Infrastructure mode. Man I'm starting to miss that suckers fucntionality... Bring on the fixes and custom ROM's!
I have the same problem, Epic 4G touch with Calkulin ROM, and I think it has something to do with the WiFi Tether app. If I use the Sprint Hotspot app I can set encryption just fine, everything works fine and dandy. But if I switch over to WiFi Tether app, when I enable "iwconfig" encryption it says there is an issue in log. If I use "WPA_supplecant" it enables the wifi network but doesn't apply any sort of encryption. And I'm absolutely positive the Sprint Hotspot app applies encryption just fine.
The reason I want to get WiFi Tether working is because I want to go back to the stock ROM, which I can't use Sprint Hotspot app on.
Took the leap 2 days ago and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch using Odin and the Zedomax v3 kernel. Root went fine and after a short minute I was rooted and installing Titanium Backup Pro, ROM Manager Pro and Wireless Tether For Root Users.
Having (free) wifi tethering is a must for me as I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (wifi version 32GB Grey) and need network access when out abroad and in the car. After installing the app from the market, I promptly opened it up and started tethering with all of the default settings (no encryption, ssid = AndroidTether, access control is disabled). The app shows that tethering is activated with no errors and broadcasting the signal. Now I switch to my SGT10.1 and open up network settings but there is no AndroidTether network seen. I refreshed multiple times and still nothing. So I grabbed a few other wifi devices (laptop, blackberry) and still, no AndroidTether network is seen.
I have checked the in-app Wireless Tether Log and there are no errors or failures. I have tried rebooting the SGSIIE4GT and still have same issues. I flashed back to stock kernel (rooted) and still have the same issues. Then removed root, rooted agin with Odin to Zedomax v3 and still same issues. Went to the distribution page for Wireless Tether and downloaded other beta and prior stable versions of the app and still same issues.
Soooo.... then I thought, maybe the hardware that broadcasts the wifi signal is busted. So I flash back to stock, unroot and go to sprint today. They activated my Sprint Hotspot service and BOOM! Pull out my SGT10.1 and the network is right there. Connect to it and it works just fine.
What is frustrating is my brother bought an SGSIIE4GT as well, we have the same hardware versions and running the same ROM and kernel and he can tether with no problems.
Not sure what could be causing the problems but hope I can get it sorted soon. Would very much appreciate any insight from anyone on new things to try. Anyone even having the same problems?

My guess it is because the Galaxy Tab doesn't support ad-hoc wifi tethering, which is what the wifi tethering app you're using broadcasts in. Had the same problem when I was trying to use it with my Touchpad. You will need a tethering app that supports infrastructure mode to be able to tether to your tablet.
Fortunately, Necrosan has been able to hack the built in Sprint Hotspot app (that uses infrastructure mode) to get free 3g tethering. That thread is here [HACK] [EG30] Hotspot Hack (3G Only for now)
You will need to be rooted and be using a deodexed EG30 rom, but there a quite a few of those around. I'm using [ACS][Odin]Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 and it is working great for me. Haven't even had LOS yet.
After you get all this done you should be able to use the Sprint Hotspot app and tether to your Galaxy Tab. Mine has been working great with my Touchpad so far. Hope this helps!
:-\
My brother (as stated above with the same hardware and software) tethers just fine to his SGT10.1 and his iMac....

To make sure its really broadcasting you should use a laptop or another computer with wifi to look for the SSID. If you see your device then the problem is probably the one stated above. If not, then there is definitely something else wrong
EDIT: just read that you already tried this. Sorry man, don't know what to tell you :/ If the Sprint Hotspot worked then I would just used the hacked version I mentioned previously to avoid paying monthly for it
Thanks for the responses, will give this a go sometime this week. Thanks for your help mate.

I've found that "Wireless Tether for Root Users" does not work for me on the ET. It acts like it is, but I can never see the SSID.
Try Barnacle Wifi Tether, it is working great for me.
Try this hopefully it works. I am getting my SGII today and this is main reason for rooting...
Does 4g work when you tether?

Barnacle did not work for 4g on my Evo so it may not work now. I believe it only handled 3g
So it seems that none of the tethering apps work on the ICS ROMs currently (at least not for me, the AD-hoc does not work), but the roms I use include hacked hotspot. Is this referring to the Sprint app that comes with the ROM by default? I have always used wifi tether apps because I an weary of activating that feature on my Sprint account and having to pay for it. If someone can clarify this for me then I would greatly appreciate it.
Wifi tether works fine for me on ICS. Make sure you choose Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE (toro) in the app settings.

if your rom includes hacked hotspot, I would take advantage of it. It basically is a work around the lock that Sprint has on it's hotspot feature. I would recommend that you use the hotspot hack so you can tether via 4G as opposed to using wifi tether with 3G speeds. It's all by preference though.
I am waiting for the tFD19_v0.1.0 odexed rom to get the hotspot hack so i can get back to my 4G speeds. But wifi tether is the best one so far for tether apps. Just make sure you change the Device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and keep everything else on auto
