Your sig says your on a Motorola, is that correct. But if your rooted there's a few good tether apps in the market. Also there's some good roms with it unlocked already.

Her sig also says she has an evo 4g....
Has this happened before? Have you recently switched roms or added new apps?

What rom are you using?

Never mind..I had to use the Hotspots instead of the wifi furthering..I changed to a different from which the hotshot was unlocked..

Help? My 3g hotspot wont work

So basically I can start my hotspot and connect to it from NY computer but there is no internet and I did the usual hack of changing the security and default profile names. Any ideas why I get no connectivity ?

I tried *228 and then redid everything but still no internet.
I cant figure it out i have a feeling this is going to be like my contact sync (just stopped working one day hasnt ever worked since on my one account although all other accounts work)
Is this a Verizon app or wireless tether? I recommend the latter.

The Verizon app I prefer to use the Verizon app but it doesnt work so I've been using wireless tether.

Sorry, but I've only used tether which works perfectly. I haven't even tried stock, and I'm way too busy to attempt to try right now. Hopefully someone else with more experience or free time will step in.

Doesn't Verizon charge you for their Wireless Tether service?
(Which is one more reason to root your phone in the first place)
If rooted, try Barnacle. It works great for me.
Verizion does charge for their wifi hot spot so if you are not paying them for it that is why it is not working.

Yea, I thought so.
I also can't get any tethering app to work right. After awhile none will load video and they all stopped working all together after 50mb or si.

What ROM are you using? Is your phone Rooted? Are you running any Task Killer/Manager apps?
I had that happen after I switched (updated) radios, and then tried a couple other versions. The hotspot needs to be reactiviated after a radio switch (or so it seems). After following the directions, then rebooting, it seems fine again.
I also use wireless tether, but for me it's a push between them except the hotspot allows the droid to be seen as infrastructure.
Switching radios didnt cause wireless tether to stop working, so I wonder if it had anything to do with changing the throttling in services.jar?
I'm using virtuous 3.1 and the 7.28 radio. For some reason both wireless tether and easytether pro both crap out at a similar point. They both do it with or without the? Uncapping mod. They also just completely stop loading video a little before crapping out all together

Make sure you're not running any Task Manager/Killer app as I used to run Virtuous 3.1 with Advanced Task Manager and it caused problems for me. Also try running an update on the roaming (*228 option 2).
Thanks ill try and check back

Do you have access control on? Idk if that has been said or not but mine wouldn't work till I turned it on and allowed my computer to use the internet.

Or try dialing *228 and reprogramming your service. That could do it
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Good idea
Over tried *228 options 1 and 2 but nothing seems to work for some reason no matter what I do all tethering craps out after a little bit and the 3g hotspot will never work it just shows up as connected with no internet

Need help with hdmi win

I just rooted my stock gb EVO 4g and am trying to get hdmi win to work on my flat screen and it doesn't register and says no signal
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had the same problem. Also on mine the built in hdmi app took over instead of hdmwin. Is there a way to shut off the stock hdmi and only have hdmwin active to see on the tv? I didn't flash a new kernel yet but I heard it helps.

I am using this young guy's rom currently, it is the 3D one put out by evolvedandroid. On my other EVO for my kid we have the EVOlvedROM directors cut one. HDMI out works well on both to our 55" LED TV.
edited to add: my apologies if I didn't spell things right or punctuate correctly.

When I was on 2.3.3 Sense 3.0, I couldn't get HDMwIn to work. In my opinion, the custom kernel I used (iron monkey) doesn't support it at this time. I switched to CM7 because I needed the HDMwIn app and SIXAXIS to work. Typically speaking, the custom kernel would usually indicate whether it's HDMwIn compatible. Usually I'd wait, but the Sense UI doesn't support the profile needed for complex profiles (referring to SIXAXIS).

What he is saying is: read the description of the app, it says it won't work with stock 2.3.3 Sense. Use CM7.

does your phone see your home network? Have you tried going into your router utility and manually adding you phones MAC address into the MAC filter list.

4g will not work with app store

Is anyone having this issue too? If my 4g is on, i can surf the Web, but now it won't update apps or download them. It stuck on waiting for network, but when i switch to 3g, download starts right away...4g not working for downloading or updating apps.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It's been posted before in other portions of the thread. Nothing I can do besides the temp fix. Go to setting-manage apps- the find the play market and clear the cache then uninstall the update. You will have to do that every time you re enter the market under 4g
let me guess you are on a GB build possibly with a ICS modem? if so then you need to choose either one or the other. i was having the same problem recently and thats how i fixed it.

But I have no idea why.

It goes back to the default settings if you flash roms correctly, just so you know.

Just recently started having this problem. Google Play was recently updated, so I dont think it was our phones or Sprint causing the problem.

Yes your correct there is no real fix until they update the market again. or if you flash a ROM with a new Ics market then it should work fine.

[Q] Will I Get Charged From (Wifi Tether)?

I just Rooted my Brand New LG Optimus G.
I also just installed the (Wifi Tether) app from the Play Store. I was wondering if I would be charged for using this application to tether.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Oh! I was also wondering if there were any custom ROMS available for the LG Optimus G. (Sprint)
If (Wifi Tether) won't work. What will work to not get charged?
If (Wifi Tether) works, are there certain settings I should put in? If so, what are they?
No, you will not be charged by Sprint for using the Wifi Tether app.
There are no Custom ROMS at this moment but the devs are currently working on making some in the near future

Does that actually work? I had tried that the other day and even if I am able to get the connection to show is running, I can't get any device to see the signal. Once I was able to get my laptop to see the connection but when I tried connecting it went nowhere.
I get a Bluetooth hot spot without any root. Works great. Foxfi works fine.

Yes, it does work. I am using Wifi Tether (the one with the yellow icon) and have no problem connecting tablet or laptop to my phone, data works as well. Check the setting and make sure you are broadcasting the ssid
