I just did the simple root from stock a few days ago. I been trying to use the WiFi Tether app but I receive the " activating wifi interface error". Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Did you flash a rom? Or did you flash the hotspots hack

I did sfhubs, Auto Root your existing stock rom. I didn't flash any roms.

I didn't flash the hot spot hack either. I followed qbkings youtube video for the WiFi Tether.

Flash the hotspots hack they got it working on 4g now and its much better. Were you trying to use a password with the wifi tether app because it won't work so try without it

Thanks my man. I guess I'll have to give that a try. I'm new to flashing and all that. Here's the video I followed:

I have just rooted my E4GT.
Installed WiFi tether.
I cannot seem to get it to work. My Gtab 10.1 wont recognize it all. My laptop will show it under wireless networks but won't connect.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Are you talking about the Sprint Hotspot app? It's working for me.
The sprint hotspot app works just fine for me!
I havent test using 4G but i guess it doesnt work.

On the Galaxy Tab 10.1 you will probably have to change out the wpa supplicant file. Use root explorer to do this. Be sure to go into airplane mode before you make any changes. Go into system/bin (make sure its marked r/w) rename the original wpa supplicant file just in case you need to revert. Then replace it with the modified supplicant file. Make sure the permissions are exactly the same as the original. Change back to r/o, take it out of airplane mode and you should be good.
Try this one

Why wouldn't 4g work?

It's working fine. The reason your GT10.1 won't recognize is because it is broadcasting an AdHoc network, rather than the EVO's infrastructure network. It's a pain but there are ways around it. All you need is download a ROM with the AdHoc tweak (such as the Overcome ROM for the GT10.1) or tweak the wpa_supplicant file yourself.
Thanks for the replies.
This is WiFi tether from the market i am talking about.
Any one have insight into why i can't get to work with my laptop. it shows as a network but will not connect.
Thanks

Use wifi tether beta 6
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk
So does it work with the latest beta for infrastructure ?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yup! It's working on PhantomHacker's Starburst v1.5 ROM like a beauty I'm using the included kernel (the one that is embedded in the ROM).
It's the Sprint Hotspot app. Works wonders for me!
Has been working fine for me since I downloaded from the market (Wifi Tether) after rooting. Stock ROM
On wifi teher is it infrastructure or ad hock using the latest beta please confirm please

No, I pay for the native Sprint Hotspot because it never fails. Once 4g gets hacked, bye bye $30 a month. For Wifi Tether, 3.1 beta 6 is great. Here's that one...

No. It sends out ad-hoc signal. Can't get my laptop to connect but you might have better luck

Hi all. Now that Sprint is also going to charge for tethering, is the hotspot hack still worth it? I had planned on tethering my phone with my wifi only galaxy tab 10.1.
Thanks!

What? They blocked tethering apps but have no way to know for sure that you are tethering. So Hotspot away. You can use way more data filling your sd card with movies everyday.

I'm considering upgrading my EVO to the Sprint Galaxy S2, and the only thing giving me pause is the ability to (simply) tether my iPad. I know Wireless Tether only broadcasts in ad-hoc mode, does anybody know if the iPad supports ad-hoc wifi connections? Or does iPad only support infrastructure mode?
I'm aware of the Hotspot Hack but I would like a less complicated solution that works on 4G. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286236)
I am using the ET4G with I pad 2 for a week now with no problems. The only issue is the phones signal , very slow I hope the next update fix this problem. I think it will cause its meant to fix LOS.
Love the phone

Which tethering app are you using? Wireless Tether or the Hotspot hack or something else?
I've been looking through the forums and I've seen a lot of hotspot hacks. Which one should I install through cwm and if I do set my phone as a portable hotspot, will it show up on my Sprint bill and give me the hotspot plan?
Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G Touch using XDA Premium
Wireless Tether app is one of the most popular also you don't need to use CWM to install, it can be downloaded right from the Market. The only thing is you need root. I have Sprint and so far they haven't made me pay extra for the tethering.
Go here for 4G Hotspot.
It won't show up your bill as long as you use cm and a hot spot hack

Hey guys have a question for you. So wifi tether and sprint hotspot give wifi access to other phones, but it doesn't give access to the phone that is running the hotspot. Is there a way where the phone that is running the hotspot can also access the hotspot? This is really frustrating to me. Thanks in advance!

no... and why? kind of redundant isn't it..??
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
My guess is access to the network for LAN sharing among all the devices connected. Although that is rather redundant since you don't need internet to do than just set up a Bluetooth PAN or a VPN and then file share amongst the connected devices. Other than that I can't think of a single reason to try and connect your phone to its own hotspot since it already had an internet connection otherwise it wouldn't be broadcasting a hotspot

Ive found that while I am tethered, I am unable to use the internet. I was tethering my Ipad, then needed to do something on my phone and found it wouldnt refresh email nor open websites until I ended the tether connection. I think this is what the OP is referring to.

The engineering major in me chuckled a bit...to do that you'd need another receiver inside the phone.
That is exactly what I'm referring to

Why though if it's uploading downloading through sprint, casting through wifi with the receiver unused? It's like opengarden.com

Well I've never had the issue that's he's referring to, but It sounds like he wants to receive from something else..I went a step too far.
What he wants to be able to do is use the phone while it's broadcasting wifi.
