Dont need root for usb tether.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

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?

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

Yes, it works on JB. I tried it on stock, rooted lj7 and it worked fine with no issues at all. I didn't change any settings in it. Just turned it on, gave it root access and it worked.

I've used it less than a dozen times in the past 2 years for a total of less than 30 minutes. Mostly to send email when my email server would not allow access from an unsecure free wifi hotspot. I have seen others brag about using it in place of home internet. Some even brag about using it for gigabytes of bandwidth monthly.

It works on Wicked, but only unecrypted. When encryption is enabled, devices can't connect.

Same here. Last month I hit 50gb. With 4g, streaming HD movies is no issues. That's why I haven't updated to JB yet.

Anybody got it working on jellybomb 7.0?

What Rom are you running?

Can't call or text

But data/ internet seems to work. Stays in data roaming most of the time. Was on swamp monster and stock. Sprint couldn't fix it either. All of a sudden it started doing this. I also have a second note2 with SwampMonster and that phone works great. Also have a s3 on wicked sensations that works great as well.
Any ideas?

Are you in an area where Sprint is currently upgrading their towers/service? That has been known to cause issues.

Best advice would be to find one of the signal checker apps in the play store and see what signal strength you're getting. If it's weak you know the problem is with Sprint. If it's strong then you would need to look deeper into your phone/ROM/firmware etc.

Same here.. Clean flash on 12/09 nightly and PAgapps.. Very smooth so far. Will use it as my DD tomorrow at work and see how it goes

Well, so far the basics I use as well as the apps and games are working fine.. Also Triangle Away works with CM11.

Yes.. Unfortunately there is NO post other than this one.. If you go to the CM website depository and go to d2tmo you WILL see it.. I was on the 12/09 nightly and last night "dirty flashed" to the 12/12 and everything is great for ME!.. I used internet, SMS, calling on a daily basis.. Yes this is GENERAL usage but that's MY experience.. And its been FLAWLESS.. Let's keep this thread alive since a LOT of ppl and devs have moved onto another device.. I say that because I gave my wife my old S2 and there seems to be MORE support from devs there than here.. She's on a good 4.3 ROM and has a option for 4.4 (I haven't flashed cuz 4.3 works so well for a older device).. I love my s3 and when my wife gets the new Note3 I'm keeping the s2 cuz its a underrated device just like the HTC Leo was/is..

Don't take me for an expert, but the CM website says to refer to d2tmo, so I believe it will work.
Battery life looks alright over here as well.
We do, however, need to get WiFi calling on this so that those who rely on it (not me, but others) can update to this.
