A friend's Evo was having issues so I updated it w/o thinking. It was used all the time w/ android-wifi-tether to get a wifi iPad2 online. Is there anyway I can still get that iPad2 online? It looks like there's no root yet and all tethers that don't require root are usb/bluetooth.
Yea, pay for the tether from Sprint.

ugh, pda net has a tablet version...something tells me it won't work though.
If the EVO still has s-off just flash amon_ra and toss in a good Rom then you can use the WiFi tether.

I have my ipad 1 running on wireless tether from my evo
Best thing to do now is give him your ipad and you take the evo, a good gesture of saying I'm sorry.

Just to make a short story shorter, I recently went back to eco5 because I found it to be the most stable. I used the wireless hotspot hack on eg22 and eh17. Just wondering if there is a hotspot hack for eco5 or anything that could be used to do what wireless hotspot does.
I do believe last time I was on ec05 I used barnacle wifi, which was as fast as dial up, so anything but barnacle please.

The hack allows you to use the built in "Sprint Hotspot" instead of having to use a beta version of the WifiTether app. It works great as well. The hack was made compatible,with some ROMs. Our devs and themers have been adding it as well

Once you use the hotspots hack nothing else will compare. The only problem I had with wifi tether is the phone would become very hot quicky.

Google "SRF1.2HotspotHack.zip XDA," works flawless with 4g. Install with CWM.

What kernel are you running? I am on Rebirth w/Genocide kernel and I get about zero heat.
I'm using genocide, on sfr, and I get major heat too.
Also, there is a other wifi tether app on the market called Open Garden. I haven't been able to make much use of it, so I can't give you any recommendation on it, but it is there.
Sent from a secret underground bunker
Heat is always an issue with tethering. You are using the phone's 3G or 4G radio 100% of the time. This is why some tethering apps also display battery temperature.
I use open garden and it works great. It even allows my ipod to connect to my phone vs when I used the wifi tether that is included in most roms would not allow ipod to connect to phone.

What I do to eliminate the heat issue is to plug it into a wall charger or usb port and this will do 2 things 1, keep the battery from getting hot
2 keep the phone charged while your tethering, the last thing you want is to run out of battery after you've tethered god forbid you wanted to order a pizza and had no juice to make the call,, that's just scary.

Haha true, but most corporate pizza places let you order online nowadays
There is one available, QBKing77 has a "how to" as well on youtube which includes the link for the flashable zip. As for the heat, it is what it is, I use "System Panel App" as my task killer, which has system monitor so I can check batt temp, but there really isn't much you can do to prevent it, just keep a eye on it- good luck

I'm using the one for srf1.2...works great. Not sure if it'll work w/o the srf rom. There's not one listed for just ec05, but srf is based on ec05 (up to you if you wanna try it w/o it). I've used open garden, wireless tether...yada, yada, yada. This hack is the best by far, imo. Qbking77 has a "how to" on youtube with the links for the zip.

Wanted to share this with anyone who isn't aware. We can tether our ET4G on 4G but it requires USB and a 3rd party app. I tested it tonight with the free version of EasyTether and it works like a charm. Not personally interested in spending $10 for the full app but to some it may be worth it.
I haven't tested Klink but it's only $4 and it may work as well as a cheaper alternative.

Sweet, checking that out now. I see the free version doesn't allow https. I'll have to download the app to see how much the full version costs because I don't see it listed in the market.
To use these tethering method doesn't required the phone to be rooted, right? Also, will I be charged if I try to use it and can sprint figure out that I am tethering for free? I don't want to get a bill for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. How safe it is to tether undetected and are lots of people doing it for free with no penalty? I would like to tether for free but am just too afraid of getting caught and charged for it.
To be honest with you I used to have AT&T and now I have sprint and i've never once got a txt or anything in the mail telling me to stop. On AT&T I was running Cyanogen Mod and on my ET4G i'm running Calkulin's which has NoCIQ. If you aren't familiar with NoCIQ it basically makes it so sprint can't tell how your phone is using the data.
I wouldn't trust tethering if you're running a stock rom, even if the dev of the software says it's safe.

I think you might want to quantify your statement regarding NoCIQ. I've yet to see any published report from any reliable source showing it being used for data measurement. All a carrier has to do is look for unusual spikes in data volume.

I've had an android on sprint for almost 2 years now, always rooted, always tethering, always stock rom. Ciq still on there. They have never told me anything. And I always use 3rd party apps for tethering. I honestly don't think they know/care. At the end of the day, it works for the most of us, and we don't really abuse it; thus, they really shouldn't have a problem with it. They're bull**** hot spot app from sprint is ridiculously slow anyway. There's a huge difference in speed... its almost like they want us to find our own way of tethering lol.
That's my rationale and I'm sticking to it.

You may be right.. but they would have to prove what is using the data.. I have a torrent app on my phone I download stuff with and that uses a ton of data with out being tethered.

If you're rooted Android Wired USB Tether works great with 4G and it's free.

running calkulins 2.0.1a rom w/ ek02 modem and usb tether works with 4g
I've been using Wireless Tether for Root Users, it's free and works with 4G. I'm new to the 4G scene, having recently upgraded from a CDMA Hero but I've used it for years without problem. The only downside to it is it will read as an adhoc network.
I have no idea how the data looks to Sprint, I have yet to see them care.

I was wondering this very question myself.
Tethering is still working for me after I made the switch yesterday. Hopefully I don't get charged though.. even though I don't use tether, it's good to know that everything works on my phone. How would i know I'm being charged for it? I didn't receive any "warning" popups or anything like that before continuing.. do I just have to wait for my next bill??
I wonder if they can develop some methods that could detect your tethering and block it?

I had the tether feature free when i upgrade to 5G and now I'm on this new plan and the rep told me that i still keept my free tether and my other line will have it free as well...
but gosh Tmobile just got bad after they close the calls center with reps I had to talk to 4 people for one simple reason cause none of these new foreign knows what their talking about. so im not sure if i still have the tether will see.

Only by puting an APP on your device. I know a little bit about networking, and thats the only way. packets are packets. the user-agent is the only way to see what type of browser it is. but like i said before, a lot of android browsers use the desktop user agent.
But why would/should any carrier stop it? Especially if you are on a tiered plan. Its YOUR data, use it how YOU want. PERIOD. wethere you are streaming on your laptop, or streaming on your phone and using an MHL conector to your TV, its STILL streaming. Period.

For those unable to tether and being sent to that page, You could try using a different tethering app. Try foxfi, my dad is a tmo employee and doesnt have tethering on his plan, but says tethering works perfectly fine on his stock unrooted t989 with foxfi. I might also recommend cwm tethering.

Yeah thats from the mobile site? They're probably slowly updating yo hide the number and showing unlimited instead... TMobile aren't exactly the best at web developing... Remember their slow and crappy websites when trying to check your usage. It's a tad better now lol.

What ROM are you using? If its one of the ones in the Development Section, chances are this feature is already good to go without any further tinkering. Most of the devs work this feature into the ROM's. And no its the same data you have when you aren't tethering (that's why carriers are scamming people). My two cents.

Op is allegedly stock, and tethering won't work unless he's on Share Everything or actually pays for tethering.
So OP, pay for tethering, switch to Share Everything, or flash a custom ROM....or root and use Barnacle.
