I have just rooted my E4GT.
Installed WiFi tether.
I cannot seem to get it to work. My Gtab 10.1 wont recognize it all. My laptop will show it under wireless networks but won't connect.
What I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Are you talking about the Sprint Hotspot app? It's working for me.
The sprint hotspot app works just fine for me!
I havent test using 4G but i guess it doesnt work.

On the Galaxy Tab 10.1 you will probably have to change out the wpa supplicant file. Use root explorer to do this. Be sure to go into airplane mode before you make any changes. Go into system/bin (make sure its marked r/w) rename the original wpa supplicant file just in case you need to revert. Then replace it with the modified supplicant file. Make sure the permissions are exactly the same as the original. Change back to r/o, take it out of airplane mode and you should be good.
Try this one

Why wouldn't 4g work?

It's working fine. The reason your GT10.1 won't recognize is because it is broadcasting an AdHoc network, rather than the EVO's infrastructure network. It's a pain but there are ways around it. All you need is download a ROM with the AdHoc tweak (such as the Overcome ROM for the GT10.1) or tweak the wpa_supplicant file yourself.
Thanks for the replies.
This is WiFi tether from the market i am talking about.
Any one have insight into why i can't get to work with my laptop. it shows as a network but will not connect.
Thanks

Use wifi tether beta 6
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk
So does it work with the latest beta for infrastructure ?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yup! It's working on PhantomHacker's Starburst v1.5 ROM like a beauty I'm using the included kernel (the one that is embedded in the ROM).
It's the Sprint Hotspot app. Works wonders for me!
Has been working fine for me since I downloaded from the market (Wifi Tether) after rooting. Stock ROM
On wifi teher is it infrastructure or ad hock using the latest beta please confirm please

Who do you pay for wifitether?

No, I pay for the native Sprint Hotspot because it never fails. Once 4g gets hacked, bye bye $30 a month. For Wifi Tether, 3.1 beta 6 is great. Here's that one...

No. It sends out ad-hoc signal. Can't get my laptop to connect but you might have better luck

Hi all. Now that Sprint is also going to charge for tethering, is the hotspot hack still worth it? I had planned on tethering my phone with my wifi only galaxy tab 10.1.
Thanks!

What? They blocked tethering apps but have no way to know for sure that you are tethering. So Hotspot away. You can use way more data filling your sd card with movies everyday.

Was looking to join Sprint and get a ET4G but wanted to know if the root tether method still worked and is unlimited since Sprint has put a cap on it?

The cap affects hot spots.
It doesn't it doesn't have anything to do with rooted tethering as that just shares the internet on the phone, which is unlimited.
Would wireless tethering be the same as a hotspot?
I get what he is saying. Android has tethering built in at a OS level. Its always there but Sprint blocks it and adds their own stuff which is monitored. Since root tether makes use of the phones data Sprint can't limit Hotspot since you aren't using it.
It works just fine.
Hey is it ad hoc still or infrastructure on wifi tether

So I just decided to get a note 2 with Sprint as my provider.
I plan on rooting as soon as I get it (Friday I hope!) After I root I plan on getting tether going.
Since I travel for a living (pilot) I need tethering to avoid crappy hotel wireless.
What is the best tether for root users.
With my old EVO I used wireless tether which worked great.
However I plan on using tether whearever I have a LTE signal. Is LTE tethering apps different that regular tethering?
Thanks!
as of now there is only one way to tether with our phone through a modded version of wireless tether for root users, check the faq to see where to get it

"wireless tethering works now". That's all it says. Where is the link to the mod?
that's on the first question, if you read lower there is a question "is there a way to tether wirelessly?" which has a link

File link for WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_20_2012_insmodv3.apk
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426691
Saw this too "Installed the latest 11/20 build and can confirm the WIFI re-connection issue. Fell back to 11/18, which seems to run perfect.
Maybe it's the fact that my phone is a Sprint GS3. I do see many GS3 owners having the same issue. "
I don't know if the Note 2 has issues with the 11-20 version or if it is only the SGS3. If there are any issues..I would consider trying the 11-18 version.
Can I use wireless tethering for free with the T-Mobile Note II? Or is it disabled by T-Mobile; or a paid-feature only?

I tried foxfi and it did not work. It triggered the tmobile hotspot app and it tries to get you to sign up for the tethering plan. I tried the add on with the proxy server as well.
