Wifi tether

Is there a wifi tether out that is working for the e4gt ?

Check out the sprint hotspot hack. Sorry for no link. Think it might be in the themes/app section

The previous 2 posts handle all of your needs. Hotspot hack is only for 3g right now Wifi Tether works great for 4g needs

wifi tether
Any of these work in non-adhoc mode? Trying to get my HP Touchpad (cyangenmod) to work with it.

STOCK E4GT with root... when I try to load any version of Wifi Tether it makes my wifi radio not work again at ALL until I uninstall wifi tether AND run another app that utilizes the wifi radio like the kies app after a restart. This is consistent after 4 different version attempts. I do NOT want to try to the deodexed hotspot hack until the LOS fix is official, because I do not want to run anything but stock until then. Anyone in my boat that has figured out how to make it all play nicely?

Let me see if I have what you said right. Without any tether app installed, just the sprint hotspot, the hotspot works. But then if you install wireless or wifi tether it makes the sprint hotspot not work?
I had the same issue. Until I did the same.

...not entirely. I mean the wifi could not connect to an access point until I ran the kies app. Did not try the stock tether app, because I don't want to pay for a service that I may use a couple times a year.
Also, seeing your sig you may be the person to help me. What is the best speed controller/motor combo for an old school RC10T that I want to get going again in a big way? Reverse stopped working a while ago and I am pretty sure the motor is shot as well. Been seeing some people clock ridiculous speeds with some of the new repower kits out there.

Never have been an electric guy, always nitro. But the brushless stuff is where its at and running lipo batts. Castle creations is one of the best companies out along with teken. Pricey stuff but they are well worth it. If you want more shoot me a pm.

[Q] Does Evo 4g have a hotspot feature?

HI,
I just rooted and installed a new ROM on my phone but i dont see any program or feature that will allow me to use my hotspot feature for free. Can someone help me? or point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

If its a custom rom...go to settings then data and look for hot spot in those settings

Yes it does on sense roms u use the hotspot app on aosp roms u go to mobile networks in settings and use android AP or wifi hotspot, next time use the search feature u could have found your answer in about 2 seconds and after all search before u post is RULE#1 on XDA

Hey,
Yes it does sprint's evo was the first to offer 4g wireless tethering and it was a large selling point for the device when it first came out!
If you are rooted you will be able to use it for free the issue is sprint likes to block certain apps in the market so just go to 4shared.com and search for wifitether.apk or I like opengarden.apk and those will get you free tethering so you can get your tether on!! Root for the win!
I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button!

Wireless Tether app.

Ok I have been doing some searching and decided to piggy back on this post for my question. I am running decks rom with the hacked hotspot and I also have the tethering app. I mostly use the app because it tethers 4g and I live in a solid 4g area and life was good. I recently received an Acer iconia a500 tablet and for technical reasons beyond my level it does not read the tethering app as a network due to some adhoc or something close to that. So I'm forced to use the hacked hotspots. I would like to know if anyone knows of a rom whos hacked hotspot can tether 4g. Or if mine does...I just am not sure how to tell for sure. Temporary fix until I can root my tablet and allow it to read the tethering app. Thanks!

Thank you for the quick response. I went into the settings and all I see is LAN settings and Bluetooth and battery settings. Any help?

Which app are you using in wireless tether there's a setting for adhoc or infrastructure ill look at the settings in about 20 mins when my download is done cuz I don't wanna kill my wifi effing around with WT but when the DL is done ill tell u what label to look under

In wireless tether go in settings > setup mode > change it to auto in device setup just above it change it to generic or evo4g and try it that way I can connect anything to mine with those settings

Appreciated, but that is not the issue. I have the unlocked hotspot but to my understanding that only tethers 3g. Is that not correct? And I'm trying to get my tablet to recognize the wireless tether app

I'm on the newest I think its 3.0.7 I use the built on tether on my evo but have wireless tether on my other phone since it doesn't have a built in hotspot I don't get 4g here so idk if the built in one will work on 4g for sure but its the aosp one not sprints so it might ill have to check next time I'm in 4gland

First off thanks for all the suggestions.
Quick update : I downloaded a newer tether apk that had those options. I set them to where my tablet recognizes the network but now it just stays stuck on "obtaining IP" and doesn't connect. I tried restarting tablet, restarting phone, changing ssid, all I could think of. Even connecting to another network then trying to switch. Does not ever connect. I can still connect with the hacked hotspot so not the end of the world but would like to solve this.

I've had that problem a few times too try fixing permissions I'm recovery maybe called uid mismatches depending on your recovery you can also go into LAN settings and try different ips in wireless tether and adjust the broadcast frequency under another setting I can't think of the name but they are all in WT

My PC and XBOX all read the wireless tether app. Make sure you have the latest one downloaded from google and not the market.

Psvita wifi tethering not working?

I have read devices using wifi hotspots to gain connection to wifi only psvitas. But for some reason barnacles does not show up as an access point and open garden wifi tethering is left at always connecting. Does anyone know how to get around this?

why arent you using the native tethering? out of interest? could always try making it unprotected as this can fix about 2% of issues occasionally but try the native first

That would be so but cm7 doesn't have it for some reason. Only USB tether.

UPDATE: ok.. so i spent the last hour setting up my phone from cm7 to stockrom w/ doomkernel and it STILL does not work. the psvita can see my phone but cannot connect. I tried with and without encryption.

I am having the same issue. My Vita won't see Barnacle off my Xperia play, no matter any changes I have made to the settings. I am trying to find another wifi app to try but nothing so far works

Vita don't support adhoc hotspots barnacle only does adhoc same with iPhone but the built in one on stock rom works

have you tried http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
i would use wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk

Apologies for a super late response... thanks for the link but I already had that apk. Native works but Verizon blocks the usage of unauthorized tethering with the option to pay... cm7 actually makes good use of the APk because it doesnt have an apparent apk for wireless tethering. Psvita can be tethered to r800x using cm7.

What Tethering App Are You Using?

I’m trying to find the best app to tether my tablet. I’ve got an ASUS Transformer Prime and it’s WiFi only, no 3G/4G so I’m trying to find the best way to share my internets from my Samsung Galaxy SII. I found this great app called FoxFi but for some reason I can’t just turn my phone into a hotspot and use my Transformer to connect via WiFi. I have to use a companion app on my tablet called PdaNet Tablet and it connect via Bluetooth! I don’t understand how it works, but it is very cool. The only downside is I can only seem to browse the web with connection. If I try to use the mail app or even access the Google Play store, it won’t connect. The only thing it will let me do is surf the net. Long story short, there’s a ton of apps out there, and without wasting my money trying them all I was hoping I could get some feedback here from people who’ve used apps with better success. Any input is welcome, thanks!

Sprint hotspot on touchwiz, WIFI tether on AOSP.

FoxFi, but I am still using EL29
PdaNet "free version" will not let you go into secure sites, you need to pony up for that.

Wifi Tether or Barnacle Wifi tether. Bother work very well.Wifi tether shows up on our Market so thats the way to go! I will say if your tethering to a computer Get a older version of pda net 3.0 It is unrestricted. You can get the windows install file too. Google it. You charge phone while tethering.

Sprint HotSpot.

Some wifi devices can't see adhoc hotspots. Many tethering or hotspot apps can only go into that mode because of the phones limitations. The hotspot app that comes with the phone usually is infrastructure mode. Everything can connect to that. In simple terms, adhoc is like internet connection sharing from a computer. Infrastructure mode is like a wireless router. You could look if someone has a modified wpa supplicant file for the tablet if it can't see the phone. Then it will work. I had to do that to my old galaxy tab in order to connect to the net through the phone.

Yeah I went into settings in my E4GT, and there's a Bluetooth tether option that works great for my tablet. A little slow, but better than nothing. Thanks for the input everyone!

Which wifi tether app from the market are you guys talking about? I just got a galaxy tab 2 7.0 and want to tether it from my epic 4g touch. When i search the market, there are a couple of wifi tether apps but I don't know which one to use. I am not rooted by the way. I just want to tether 3g/4g when I'm at work on my break because I don't want to use company's wifi network.

Foxfi

I've used wifi tether and foxfi. Only difference is u have to pay for the full version of foxfi. But wifi tether doesn't work on some versions. Worked on fi27 but doesn't on fk23

I see a couple of "wifi tether" name in the app store but which one of those are you guys talking about? "wifi tether for root users" by muller? "wifi hotspot/wifi tether" by innodroapps? "wifi tether" by pontente mobile? Also, for foxfi full version, it says that i need the free version first but i can't find that in the google play store.

WiFi Tether version 3.2-beta2

I'm not rooted. Is there one where I don't have to root?
Also, if I do root, will my phone still be secured?

wondering if there is a better USB tether app for ICS,
The team that made the wife tether, had a USB tether that worked great for Ginger Bread, but was never ported to ICS :|

I thought I read changing your DNS server usually works when trying to tether to a pc/laptop

I use the built-in wifi tether from CM10 but I only use it for Netflix from by BR player in my upstairs bedroom because my wifi doesn't reach up there and I'm too lazy to go out and buy a relay. For that it works but if I try to browse on my laptop with it, it gets the T-Mo message. You can use the original Wifi tether for root app and change your DNS settings to Verizon's network I think someone said once, but I don't really have a need so I've never tested it.
I will say it is VERY nice to have unlimited data though, no more throttle worries.

You should be able to tether after root, either through an app, a feature built into the ROM, or through other means...

I use wifi tether (hotspot) with my Android tablet and my Windows laptop.
Works great.
