Do Foxfi and Wifi Tether apps support JB yet? I have had no sucess getting them to work yet, so I was hoping that was the case rather than a problem with my phone.
Thanks for your help.
I'm curious, why do you even need an app to do tethering? It's built right into the OS.

Figured it out. Please excuse noobness.
He needs an app like "tether for root users" because the in OS tether charges money for tethering whereas root apps that allow WiFi tether don't incur any charges.

I am with Sprint and just wanted to see if I root my device will I still be able to use the hotspot feature?
Thanks,

Based on your question, I suspect that you are paying for the official Sprint hotspot service. After rooting, you can use the tethering capability built into 2.2 WITHOUT having to pay Sprint $30 per month for the privilege. If you choose to run a 2.1 ROM, you can use Google's Wireless Tether app and accomplish the same thing, again without paying Sprint a single penny.
For the Sprint Hotspot functionality, you will need to be sure to find a ROM that has that apk installed. Quite a few of the custom ROMs remove this because it is obsolete in comparison to the wifi tether application from google.

I thought he meant you could use sprint's wifi hotspot app if you have a rooted 2.2 rom. I already use the wifi tether app.

Hi are there any roms out that offer free hotspot because with the new unlimited data plan coming out I will lose my hotspot feature and hope there is a Rom that will allow me to keep it

I use this app to pretty good effect. I don't know about roms with it baked in; the CM iterations usually have them, but I don't know about others.

I just got an S III and hotspot will be a return and/or sell the phone issues. I installed this app, and it works so far. I read in a different thread that one user got messages from TMo and that it was subsequently blocked.
Have you used it enough to run into this? i don;t need it a lot, but would like to find a solution that has proven out to users.
as far as I know they are not allowed to cut you off due to wireless tethering anymore. I use the same app, though not very often, and I have had no problems

Thanks - good to know. Too bad the easy APN fix that works on HTC devices doesn't here.
Just get an app? There's a lot out there that work after rooted.
Hi
What is the fastest way to enable free wireless tethering on a stock sprint HTC evo 4g.
It is my father inlaws phone, I don't want to do anything major like install a custom rom if possible.
Thanks so much for the responses.
Just search "no root Wi-Fi tether" on the market. Try the first one that pops up called one click tether or something like that.

You are going to have unlock it and then you can leave the stock rom on it but you need to look for a hack wifi hotspots zip file and then he can keep the stock rom and have hotspots for free

If for some reason rooting is not an option for you and finding a wireless wifi is not working because you're not rooted... Then resort to plan B and go USB tether with PDAnet
With the new wifi tether beta version, what settings do you use to make it work properly? I am getting an error?

Hope this helps

Contrary to popular opinion, we can't read every post or thread out there. Can't move what we don't know about. That is why there is a Thread Maintenance drop down in the Report. You know, you hit it.

Can someone please help? I was running wifi tether for root users for months but I have been having issues connecting my kindle for the past 3 or 4 days. I recently flashed a new ROM, wicked jb v5 but even after that it was still working flawlessly. I updated my wicked jb to v6 ROM today but it still doesn't work. Can someone please help me because the tethering is so necessary for me as I'm sure it is for a lot of other t-mobile rooted customers.
Since there are no hotspot mods yet, what have you had success with? I can live for the time being without custom roms but I absolutely need tethering. The CF autoroot seems to be working now but there have only been a few mentions of tethering...
