I haven't found any evidence that this has been done yet, so I was wondering if someone would be able to either tell us how to hack the stock Sprint Hotspot app or upload a pre-hacked app for us to download.
I'm willing to try ideas out to see if they work, so let me know if you have suggestions!
The hotspot app is built into the framework. So it would take some editing. Are doubting to use kies?
Use wireless tether for root, it's in the market.

Wireless tether may or may not work from the market, wouldn't work for me. If it doesn't try this link: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk This 1 worked for me the 1st time. ROOT is required of course.
Q. How do I use the WiFi Tether app?
Download from the store or see above link....
1. Open the Wifi Tether App
2. Press Menu
3. Press Settings
4. Choose "Change Device-Profile"
5. Choose "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)"
6. Press Back twice to return to initial app screen
7. Press the big ole WiFi Signal icon
8. Allow Superuser Permissions
Profit! :highfive::highfive::highfive:
I should have clarified in the first post, but I was hoping to get the stock app hacked to work for tethering (wired and wireless). I'm familiar with WiFi Tether and I'm sure I could get that working (thankfully!), but I prefer the stock app. From my experience with the stock app on the Evo 3D, One S, and Evo 4G LTE, it's a lot faster and more reliable than third-party apps.
I'm not even sure what kies is yet, so I'm not using it, no. I think it's some sort of data/calendar sync service.

Htc handles the 3rd party apps a little differently than Samsung. For instance Foxfi which did not need root at all would not work properly with HTC phones unless rooted. I know you may want to use the stock one but at the end of the day you still pressing a button and I have been using wifi tether and it works flawlessly and actually to me was faster than stock. I have owned and Evo Evo3D, Epic Touch Galaxy S2(Tmobile) Galaxy S3(Sprint). Must say that wireless tether app has held me down on more than one occasion.
Don't hurt to request it though but I am quite sure whether you asked or not someone is and has been working on it.

I always thought it was the same 1 from the market until I installed it and it wouldn't for the life of me allow SU. I uninstalled it, installed the one from Google code and it worked perfectly the 1st time.
With wireless tether change profile to galaxy nexus gsm not cdma and you must use access control.

If you are running stock rooted this is worth giving a shot. Its a nandroid of a stock cspire rom. Same ROM with the exception of a few sprint apps missing. Fully functional stock tether if your on sprint http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32460393&postcount=21 think it runs better too. Just throwin it out there
Will this work with the Sprint Galaxy SPH-L710? Can it just be flashed over the existing ROM?

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?

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

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?

...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.

You have to change your user agent on the PC side. I reccomend Firefox with the add on called "user agent switcher". No matter what don't use internet explorer, immediate giveaway.

If all else fails you could also use PdaNet and use the "hide tether usage" option.

WiFi Tether from the market works best for me!
I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this app 'wifi tether' and gs III stock. It seems to indicate that it does not play well together. This is why I was asking, because this was my experience today: No consistent connection, it simply drops the tether and the app stops.
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2
Better get used to it if ur stayin stock. All that works unless u have the means to Bluetooth tether. If u can do it with Bluetooth try foxfi. Normal tether doesn't work with it yet. Also if u haven't done so, in addition to setting gnex profile in the tether app and unchecking the disable wake lock option, delete ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app. Probably the cause of your tethering woes

WiFi Tether works for me just fine (gotta select the GNexus CDMA/LTE profile).
The only hiccup I've found is that before I activate tethering, I often need to do a fresh reboot on the GSIII, or else it will claim its broadcasting, but it really isn't.
And, of course, root IS required for this particular app.

I don't know enough about the rules on posting links so................
I did a google search for "wifi tether versions"
Down toward the bottom of the results I came across a page from the androidpolice site.
Right above the row of three screen shots is the following sentence: (If it does get pulled, however, you can always grab the apk from Here).
Click on the word "Here" and it will take you to the android-wifi-tether project home page.
Click on downloads and that will get you to where you want to be.
I am running Jelly Bean on my GS3 and have yet to be able to get wifi tether or foxfi to work at all.
I am about to start at the oldest version of wifi tether and work my way forward until I find something that works.
Until I find something stable, I will be using pdanet for wired tether. Hey, it works all day long for me.
On EDIT.............
Ignore most of the above and just google "android wifi tether project"
It will cut out most of the steps and is the first result on google.

I got another one tonight for the wife and allowed it to update to JellyBean, but it seems we can't root Jellybean to get the free wifi tether. Is this correct or if I root it, is there a wifi tether that works?
If not, what steps do I take to switch back to ICS?
cm10 is one of the few jb rom which has working wifi tether. if you want to go back to ics you can probably find the ics odin tar, however i would just use one of the ics based roms on the thread.
Thanks! I kinda thought this is the direction I would need to go... Can you point me to a link to get the ICS ROM?

cm10 is one of the few jb rom which has working wifi tether. if you want to go back to ics you can probably find the ics odin tar, however i would just use one of the ics based roms on the thread.

From what I can gather from xda and my own experience, wifi tether on cm10 is NOT working. Doesn't sound like it is a cm10 specific issue though. I am on nightly 11-07 and wifi tether appears to work fine but the client doesn't actually get access to the cellular internet data.
I would love to be corrected and get this working though!
Galaxy S3 rooted JB Wifi Theter Working again :

I've got two GS3's... One I've had for a while, is using Ice Cream Sandwich, is rooted and runs wifi tether just fine.
I got another one tonight for the wife and allowed it to update to JellyBean, but it seems we can't root Jellybean to get the free wifi tether. Is this correct or if I root it, is there a wifi tether that works?
If not, what steps do I take to switch back to ICS?

I got the wifi tether that's native to CM10 to work when I installed CM10. Only problem now is that CM10 makes the functionality of the device so much different than the stock ICS or JB GS3 that my wife isn't thrilled. So, now my challenge is to find themes that best "look" like ICS or JB from Google.
Any suggestions???

Holy ****. I can confirm wifi tether worked using the app you mentioned. Tested on Clark freegs3 jb and an iphone connected to my device. I thank you my good man! I don't know how you found it, but am I glad you did.

What are the exact config you use with WiFi tether? I'm taking it's the latest one From the plastore, when I do connect it's for 10-15 minute intervals

I haven't tried for very long I just flipped when I saw the network and could connect lol, I used cdma nexus profile and disable wake lock unchecked. I hope it's the final fix!

I got it from here: http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426338
So far, i see nothing indicating it not to be legit.
Have been searching for a fix since the jb upgrade. This is it. Thnaks much!!!!
Only problem is that after shutting down wifi tether and when I try to restart wifi, phone says disabling Sprint Hotspot, but it never does. I had to reboot to be able to turn wife back on.
No go for me on stock JB rooted.

Same thing happened to me, had to hit allow at least 20 times. Either case, ended up not working for me on stock rooted.
I also have stock rooted JB. It DID work. I tried on ipod touch, Galaxy Tab and a laptop. They all worked fine. Only problem was not being able to turn Wifi back on after shutting down tether. Had to reboot.
I used Nexus CDMA profile, encryption OFF, Access control ON.
It DOES work.

I've tried your EXACT same settings and it doesn't work. I can see the network, but can't connect. Without fallback tether checked, I don't even see the network at all. This is my luck, for sure.
Works for me. I didn't change a thing. I opened the app after installing it and pressed the wifi button in the center of the screen. It worked and my buddy with his iPhone was able to connect and browse the web.
