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!

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

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

This is why I want the Sprint one and just disable the authntication as they have already done with the evo, downside is they have not got 4g to wifi working as 4g uses mac adress for authentication possibly.
I already have WiFi tether app that works with 3g and 4g but the mode is ad-hoc and certain things like xbox, ps3, psp need infrastructure mode. I would be happy if we could get as far as Evo and get and have working infrastructure 3g without authentication restriction.

do you pay for it? can you confirm it was sprint hotspot and not wifi tether
yeah i've been on quantum since 1.0, on 2.7 now and i dont think it works. it activates, lets you connect and "looks" like you have internet but activating the hotspot deactivates 3g for some reason. gives you the registration error.
that being said, i downloaded caulkins mod and will look into seeing if i can replicate it on the epic. i'm guessing i'll hit a roadblock as i'm sure people have tried this already, but we'll see!
looks like Caulkin is who made that MOD for the evo, i asked him on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10382458#post10382458 if he could provide a how to as the same hack might work for us.
right now i'm just comparing a stock framework.jar with his mod. first delta i found is classes.dex/android/content/pm/registeredservicescache.smali but i dont know if that means anything yet, we'll see.

Agreed, the newest wifi tether actually launches sprint AP with authentication disabled. I've read that its a little buggy, but I used it yesterday for about 10 min browsing the web with no issue.
Using the newest tether (v3) has actually reset my phone, IE erased the data/factory reset. Kinda annoying.
How? No one ever gives instructions.
Is there a way to get a free hotspot or wifi tether on an UNROOTED Epic?
Thanks,
Sam

For free? The short answer is no. You can download the ap apps like wireless tether from the market, but without root permissions, the apps will not work. Some reason your hesitant to root your phone?
Requires a rooted phone.
Backup your phone with CWM3 as this app is still experimental and can cause issues.
Download pre10 or pre12 version 3.
Correctly install with ADB or a file/app manager.
Shutoff 4g and open app.
Select your device profile as Epic 4G
Start app and verify it successfully started (no errors, binaries installed etc.)
Don't worry when you see Sprint Hotspot activated message as this app uses something from the Sprint app
Start 4G
Supports infrastructure mode

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.

If Sprint Hotspot gives you issues, you'll need to flash THIS ...but that'll limit you to 3G. Does the PS3 work with AD-HOC connections (which is what wifi tether and barnacles app creates)? I'm guessing it doesn't by default since you can't see it.

I don't know if that was exactly the tethering file i uninstalled with TiB, but that one isn't listed for me.
Actually, if i did remove it then that's probably what lets me use the built in tethering (under wireless settings). No redirect page for me... hm...

I deleted the apk to the HotSpot, and now I have to go all around settings to activate it. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of that APK, and either I'm blind, or none of them have an obvious name. If someone could point me to it, it would be awesome. I downloaded Mr. X's zipped rom, but can't find it there.
I could go to the market, and download one of those shortcut thingies, but I don't want those, I want the stock one.
Also, FYI, the only thing that has to be frozen/deleted is the Tethering Provision.

Hi All,
I am having a slightly different issue. I'm rooted and have frozen the 'TetheringProvision 1.04.02.TM'.
When I was broadcasting, my computer wouldn't connect to the network. My workaround was to delete the connection in Windows Network Manager and reconnect.
My tethering icon is different than the above screenshots, I have a T-Mobile branded icon.
Now that I'm able to connect, I'm getting a message in my webbrowser to sign up for a tethering plan. I've tried a User-Agent switcher, but that didn't work... anyone have any suggestions?

This is the message:
Turn your Smartphone into a Mobile HotSpot!

it sounds like you did everything right that is weird. What browser do you use chrome? try a different browser first. Even though a different user string should have worked. Maybe they are catching on. Dont forget that all the carriers have people in here as well so they all know what we are doing.
Try using a phone or ipod to connect to your hotspot and see if that works.

I'm having similar issues with mobile hotspot. I have tried freezing and deleting Tether provisioning, device management, and a number of other stock services. However no matter what, the T-Mobile icon always appears when I enable hotspot or wifi tethering and I'm limitted to the stupid WEP access with generated keys.
Anyone have a functional workaround for enabling the ICS hotspot service? currently i'm using FoxFi, but would rather have the real deal
I deleted the tethering provisioning directly from system/app and mine is working fine both the usb tethering n hotspot tethering. I used root explorer to do so

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!

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.
