Im on FB21 with the rest of the crazies I have still yet to get any sort of wifi tether to work. I am using easy tether for some devices but I need to get back to connecting my gtab to my phone I miss it ..
Is it just me (anyone else had any luck?) or this an inherent problem with early release? Just curious, thanks!
I too have been unable to find a functioning wireless tether ability... though i am using PDA net via usb to tether, and it works flawlessly.

I went back to Calks 2.9 because there is no other way to get my touchpad online on the go. I love ICS but I have to have functionality. Touchpad can't tether via Bluetooth.

First post. So, I have a Evo but I won a iPad (wifi only) online the other day and i'm thinking about keeping it or selling it. I know Sprint has a Hotspot option that you can use on the phone but I don't want to pay $30/month for it which is crazy in my opinion. I downloaded EasyTether off the appstore so I can tether for free which is great on my laptop, but if I keep the iPad and take it around with me i want to be able to get online with it, so it would be great to have the Hotspot functionality on my phone. I know you can activate hotspot functionality by rooting the Evo, but I just updated to 2.2 and as far as I am aware there is no 2.2 root option yet.
So in the meantime I guess I was just wondering if anyone who has a iPad uses the Evo's hotspot functionality. I was also curious in general how it performs over 3G with wifi devices and if there is any option like Easy Tether so you can use hotspot functionality for free until there is a root for 2.2 on Evo?
Thanks for any input/answers and I look forward to contributing to the forums.

We took a trip to the mountains a week ago. I used the EVO hotspot utility to connect my laptop and my wife's ipad and my son's ipod touch to the internet all at the same time! Worked like a charm! just remember to change the default setting at set a new SSID and password.
I believe that if you can connect with your laptop you should be able to connect with your iPad. I've always been able to connect with my iPad whether it was adhoc or AP mode.
Well i started paying for the 30 bucks option becuase the free wifi cap my speeds real bad and i was rooted back then but now im stock with rooted icons wierd but dont work but works awsome the hotspot for me i have 3 360 coneected amd 2 ps3 and my msi netbook connected and works bad ass i love it yea some lag but it ok for me

Well, I can connect my Laptop to my Evo via USB using EasyTether Lite so I can get online with my laptop for free but I need free Hotspot functionality so I can use it with my iPad, but idk what I could do since I updated my Evo to 2.2.
I don't know if this will help you but there is a chance you can downgrade your Evo and then root it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915
hold your ipad differently, or buy a case.

I find people that type with caps on the first letter of every word to be very annoying. And there's no point.

I know that iPods (3rd gen) aren't able to connect to AP networks, since I've hosted from my laptop before and it couldn't see it.

If you want the iPad, keep it. It sound like the iPad can connect to even AP infrastructure networks. Although I'm pretty sure the Hotspot app, and wireless tether, both aren't AP network (although I don't know what it hosts, that's not my area ).
Basically, Hotspot would work if you felt like $30. Otherwise I'd wait for 2.2 to get rooted.
I honestly don't know what I'm saying anymore cause I'm watching tv and writing this. And there's models...
Oops I wasn't aware that EasyTether was done through USB. In that case, since you don't have root and upgraded to 2.2, you can either set up internet sharing on your laptop and connect using adhoc mode, or pay the $30 for the official tethering.

or you can pay $0 to root your phone, install any 2.2 ROM, and use android wifi tether.
Froyo (Android 2.2) has Wi-fi Hotspot capability: no need to root
Froyo (Android 2.2) has Wi-fi Hotspot capability: no need to root
Either 1: Open up your Apps page and look for the widget "Wi-Fi Hotspot" (on my Desire it is placed just before the YouTube widget"
or 2: open Settings, Wireless & networks and select "Portable Wi-fi Hotspot"
This has allowed me to connect my iPad via my Desire's data connection.
the desire on official froyo unrooted has a hotspot widget preinstalled as mentioned above.
my friends iphone and laptop spotted it fine. so no reason why an ipad wouldnt find it.
i note that evo can connect to many devices as can be seen from other posts here, but the htc desire has a max limit of 2 devices via the wifi hotspot at a time, although i dont know if you could connect more devices by using usb tether and bluetooth tether at the same time too. you dont need apps from anywhere for wifi or usb tether on 2.2 official version. i dont know if 2.2 allows bluetooth tether but if satnav devices can piggy back to net connection on phones i dont see why tethering cant be done but might be slow. there are apps on cnet for wifi and blueetooth tethering (cnet editor reviewed apps).
I believe the Sprint approved version of Froyo has Android WiFi removed and replaced by their own app.
Now that it's possible to root, I installed wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre9.
My iPad connects, but no Internet access!
Ipad works fine
I use the Wireless Tether with my IPAD all the time works great I am using Fresh 3.3.0.1
Hotspot and wireless tether are both AP, zune hd doesn't do adhoc and i was able to connect to my evo with it
What tethering app do we have that is working with the E4GT.
i am interested too...any non root solutions.
Sprint hotspot doesnt work?
The newest version works. Version 3.1 beta 6. Just enable the Access control. I didn't change any settings..

The video demoing it on an Epic 4G (original)? It works for the most part as long as you don't need encryption or Infrastructure mode.
I think there is a new profile needed for Wifi Tether + some kernel work possibly.
BTW for those not rooted EasyTether does work with USB connection to Win/Linux/Mac. I'm holding out for an unroot method before rooting for WiFI so this is working in the meantime. The free version works for most things but you must buy ($10) to get https pages.
Can someone please elaborate on how to get wifi tether working? I have rooted succesfully and even enabled Access control in the app as John stated above but it still isn't connecting. What is the additional work that is needed? PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
USB debugging I think has to be enabled also.
I have that enabled, still not working
Same here... no SSID being broadcasted.
I can't get wifi tether to work at all it keeps using ad hoc mode and my laptop never connects what setting do you guys have
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
It's only goign to do ad-hoc for now. I think there is either some kernel work or rom customization to support some of the Infrastructure mode features or maybe just a new profile in Wifi Tether since it doesn't recognize the phone currently and falls back to the generic profile.

How do you set that?

Anyone have any luck with this yet? Ad hoc mode is useless to me. Need infrastructure/AP mode, please.
How to use Wireless Tethering for Root Users on Epic 4G Touch
After reading hundreds of pages on this website & others, here's what I've concluded after 12 days with my new Epic 4G Touch:
1. The entire Samsung Galaxy S2 series may be unable to broadcast anything but AD-HOC. However, if infrastructre can be achieved, I expect someone on XDA or Cyanogen to accomplish it within 30 days.
2. Most receiving devices (such as a notebook, netbook or tablet) can be tweaked so that they can recognize AD-HOC. It involves replacing the wpa_supplicant which is commonly found in your system/bin folder. Google your device name, AD-HOC and wpa_supplicant and you'll likely be directed to web pages with the solution for your device.
3. If you're trying to tether an Epic 4g Touch to an Acer A500 Tablet I have a much simpler solution for you: Root it and then install the Taboonay custom ROM which will instantly modify your tablet WiFi so it sees ALL available AD-HOC signals.
4. After trying nearly half the different version of wireless tether, I found thee WiFi V3.1 beta 6 to work flawlessly without changing anything on my Epic 4G Touch.
NOTE: Until this is a VERY stable custom ROM I suggest simply rooting, installing ClockworkMod Recovery, SuperUser 3.0 which is required by WiFi Tether.
I've been tethering with pdanet because I want to hide my tether usage. Does sprint ever send out warnings/ultimatums about tethering without their "service"? I'm only using 4g if that matters.
Been able to tether my laptop &netbooks with both versions of wireless tether that I tried. My issues arise when trying to connect my Samsung 10.1 tablet, the AndroidTether is not coming up as a internet option, has anyone gotten their 10.1 to connect to their epic touch4g?

This thread solved the wireless tethering issues on my galaxy 10.1 tab
I hope this is in the correct section, to me it is a question.
I have the ET4G and am getting a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 16G from work. It is wifi only.
I am running unnamed rom on EG30
I know I should be able to use the hotspot hack to tether the tablet.
I don't have a great knowledge of bluetooth as I have never really used it.
Can I pair the phone to the tablet and tether that way also?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but again, I don't have a great knowledge of bluetooth and how it works or what it can do.
Thank you in advance for the help.
Not a dumb question at all. I believe the hotspot hack is wifi only. There is an app called "wireless tether" which I believe at one point had Bluetooth tether but is only wifi now. Bluetooth is a different kind of radio. Google it to find out the exact difference. Is there any particular reason you want to pair it with Bluetooth?

Using my Evo to tether when I had my tab was pretty easy using the Sprint hot spot. All you really need to do is start it and use the wifi setting on the tab to connect. Make sure you get the password from your device.
I never really had much success with Bluetooth tether to share the internet connection. Transferring files was pretty straightforward.
Wifi tether app (I can upload but you really should go by their site and read up on it) required adhoc support on the GT, as I couldn't get secured to run with the Evo. May be a bit different with the GS2.
Really, if you have the native hot spot running, use it. Will work with little effort and I found it reliable.
Thank you both for the help.
Wasn't really looking to use blue tooth to tether, just wondering if it was in some way better. I guess more wondering if it would just use the phone signal to connect to Sprint network where the tablet wouldn't.
I have the hoyspot hack up and running fine, that is what I use for my laptop all the time. Why pay the cable company $60 a month.
I guess I was just wondering if one was better.
Thank you both for the help.
i am running calkulin 3.0 gingerbread rom which wireless tether will work and how do i get it to work tried several at no luck?
I use Foxfi. Sprint had it removed from the market, but you can download it from foxfi.com. If you want wired tether try http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/. It has not been updated since 2010, but it works well. I prefer wired tether because it is fast, reliable, secure and uses less power.

You can use a third party tethering program but Sprint Hotspot is already hacked and ready to go in this ROM.
Wired tethering works as well.
I can get the wired usb tether to work fine but it seems to be slower. Using FoxFi but it seems to mess with my phone. I have NEVER gotten wifi tether to work, irregardless of my phone version or rom, so I was wondering what people have installed on both phone and comp that allows it to work. My wireless card enables ad-hoc so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I just want a simple wifi tether, not a hotspot because i don't want others to use it, that's what FoxFi is for when I have guests. I just want to get wifi tether to work to see if it works how I'm hoping it does. Any help is appreciated
Does your computer support Bluetooth? BLuetooth tethering sounds like it more like what you are looking for. I've honestly never heard of a "WiFi" tether outside of the hotspot usage.
