Yes I recently did an early upgrade with Sprint I got the Evo 3D but my question is i still have my HTC EVO 4G phone, i did not want them to have it because it's Rooted would Sprint know if I use Mobile Hotspot as wifi to connect to my Wifi only Tablet its a Toshiba Thrive Tablet and to remind I have no service on my Evo 4G no more so any suggestions and no im not going to root the Evo 3d phone if you guys are wondering.
First off, punctuation is your friend.
Second, if you aren't paying for service on your evo, you wont get 3g/4g, therefore you cannot use it as a hotspot.
Okay thanks but I just connected my Tablet and it work from the Evo 4G that's the phone that is rooted but no service on that phone but service on my EVO 3D
Again, if you aren't paying for service on that phone, you won't get 3g. If you ARE getting 3g, then it's likely the Evo is your active phone, and the 3d isn't active anymore on the account.
umm My 3d phone is active that is the phone that is new and My EVO4G is not Active but some how I can still use wifi portion of the service. For the HTC EVO 4G you are correct their is no 3G or 4G but wifi Yes.
Ok I don't think you understand how tethering works. Tethering takes your phone's 3g service, and sends it out via wifi for other devices to use. Yes, you can still use wifi on your old Evo 4G, nothing is stopping you from doing that. And yes, you can still turn on the hotspot. However, since the phone does not have 3g service, you wont actually get any data off the wifi.

Wait. what?
Your tablet connected to your Evo 4gs signal via mobile hotspot, but your Evo 4g doesn't HAVE a signal?

That is correct see i am using wifi only Sprint hotspot I kept the EVO4G rooted so my Toshiba Thirve Tablet can connect to it when i am out and about and my EVO 3d phone is not rooted and no i am not paying for the service for Hotspot. Long Story Short or do i need to upload a video lol on youtube EVO4G no service or no 3G or 4G but only Wifi and my EVO3D phone has the service thats the phone I upgrade it too.
Again, if your 4g has NO service, you can still use the hotspot, and your tablet will connect to the phone, but you will NOT get any internet, as the phone has no internet source (3g).
And again, please use punctuation. It really helps us read and understand your questions.
Agreed. Punctuation is sssooooo important. Trying to read with no punctuation honestly makes my head hurt,....makes me feel like my head is just spinning and I'm going crazy. :banghead:

Hi,
I am currently a sprint user who loves his Epic Touch 4G but hates the crappy sprint service. I am rooted on the E4GT & am looking to root the Galaxy Nexus & get wireless tethering working ASAP.
What would be my best steps to get rooted & tethering?
Thanks,
Rich
1.) Unlock bootloader and root through ADB/Fastboot or the GNex toolkit stickied in the development forum.
2.) Install a custom rom and go to Settings --> Wireless and Networks More --> Tethering and Portable Hotspot --> Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot (Checked). Wireless tethering is native to the GNex (maybe ICS as a whole?)
I use an app called FoxFi ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi ).
Doesn't require you to be rooted, and works perfectly.

I use the wifi tether from stock and it works awesome. I love the fact that the phone get's seen as a rooter instead of an ad-hoc device) just try it from "settings > network options > tether" before rooting.
I would personaly recomend you to keep it stock for at least 2 weeks. When problems arise you can send your phone back without worrying over warranty and stuff. When you see no problems after the first few weeks you can start hacking and unlocking stuff knowing that most things that go wrong beyond that point are your own misstakes and not production problems.

Well your experience on GSM is different from his on LTE. Verizon likes to crack down and force you to pay for tethering.
Is there a Verizon stock 'rooted' rom? I am rooted & using AOKP milestone 4 & am finding things are a little buggy. It might be the phone, it might be the rom. I wouldnt mind trying stock VZW as long a I am rooted - maybe minus some bloat would be good.
What inspired me to switch carriers is that I am moving to a bad service area (cell) and my sprint epic touch 4g has only 1 bar & terrible data service. The surprising thing is that a number of times through the day the sprint phone had data while the verizon phone didnt.
Overall service wise I was expecting it to be fairly good like my wifes Iphone (VZW) but its about on par with my sprint phone. A number of spots I had data on the sprint phone but not the nexus. Strange indeed.
i have a tmobile lg optimus l9 - brand new phone and no forums, so asking here. it is running ice cream sandwhich. my old tmobile htc tp2 had free wifi hotspot feature. when i try to turn the on Mobile HotSpot on the L9 it says i need an account upgrade. How can i get around this upgrade charge?
My GF has received a Kyocera Domino from Access Wireless, running on the sprint network. Is there a way to or can I flash the Evo to run on the Access Wireless plan?
The Domino is so small and looks like a mini voice recorder lmao.
Since search is temporarily unavailable and I'm in a hurry I'm posting. What are your experiences with the Note 2 as a hotspot for 4G?
I'm in Europe. I've seen that some have complained that it's slow. I want it to temporarily fill the gap after ADSL, while waiting for fibre being installed in the building. I would get the Note 2 instead of a 4G modem/router.
