Dont need root for usb tether.

If you want Wifi Tethering you don't need root either, try Foxfi.
Check with Sprint in order to make sure that you don't break your contract though. Obviously if it does break your contract, don't use it.
Foxfi does not work when updated to ics

That is exactly my problem as well. Foxfi was working fine until the stupid update to ICS. Anyone know any other ways to get free wifi from my phone now?

I just purchased the galaxy tab from sprint as a wifi only device. I put it on my bill since they are about to do away with it, lol.... but wondering can I tether from my ep4g? Do I need to root? And if I root can I just root for tether?
I am not new to rooting or android but I have never tethered so any insight on what you guys think is best would be appreciated. I may just add hotspot to my phone if all fails

Why doesn't 3rd party tethering apps work on our phones?

They don't? Wireless tether works fine on my phone and if they didn't you would of heard more about by now. Honestly though what rom are you using since mostly all the AOSP roms I have tried the native tethering works just fine

Yeah agreed. lol
Yeah they do but my question is if you don't have a tethering plan its free isn't it to use to the native tethering...I used to use the barnacle app but it doesn't work anymore I gotta use the hotspots built into the phone

Not sure where the problem is since you use the native now...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
No problem I'm just wondering if the native is the same as 3rd party and undetected by the carrier like a 3rd party would be

Oh, all tethering is detected by carrier..they just can't do anything about it lol

I think they can detect it thru the browser you use something to do with the IP address I belive but I could be wrong

I'm not trying to say you are wrong.. but I remember my friend who used to work for Verizon say the only way they can tell is by the apk that's on stock ROMs. I also read that sometimes carriers look at the user-agent. But since devices spoof a desktop user-agent, that method doesn't work anymore.
As far as my knowledge goes, only way they can tell what is using the data is by having that little spy app knowing if it's tethering or not.

This is correct. I recently asked a tmo rep, and they can't even see a phone on their network unless it's stock. Once you put a custom Rom, it might as well be invisible to them. All they can see is how much data you're using, but not how you're using it, or even with what device. Their little spyware apks give them everything

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue here, but I've seached threads and still haven't come to find a resolution. I've been on JMTX ( was on the previous versions before the release, and FoxFi works perfectly. However when I try different ROMs, like DARTHSTALKER and Jedi Knight, FoxFi does not work at all. Does anyone know of a remedy for this, or is it just how these certain ROMs opperate?
It doesnt work for me either im on Cm10
Why are you guys using foxfi when rooted?

For some strange reason, believe it or not, FoxFi actually gives me faster tethering speeds.
I cant tether at all even with root access.. I dont have the tethering plan ofcourse.

I can confirm that JMT JB4 tethering works solid. It even placed the Tmo hotspot app in the drawer and it is a quick toggle on the dropdown menu. I've used about 11GB of data on it so far in the last week and a half and Tmo has not throttled or cut me off.

So if I have 2GB of data a month I could use that ROM and use more than that?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I have an unlimited 4g plan. But you can use all the data you want. It just won't be 4g after the first 2GB.
