WiFi Tether Compatible with PS3

I've tried Barnacle, Sprint Hotspot & WiFi Tether. Sprint Hotspot keeps giving me an Error message. The other 2 can't be detected by my PS3 scans. I've tried with & without password encryption & made sure my SSID was visible. Any suggestions?

Ive had the same problems with wifi tether not being recognized. The hotspot hack does work though but without 4G its like waiting for paint to dry

Funny, this has popped up in the forums for every phone I have owned. Why would someone want to game through a high latency, inconsistant cellphone connection? Trying to play in the motorhome on vacation?

If Sprint Hotspot gives you issues, you'll need to flash THIS ...but that'll limit you to 3G. Does the PS3 work with AD-HOC connections (which is what wifi tether and barnacles app creates)? I'm guessing it doesn't by default since you can't see it.

Not gaming although I did play the Uncharted 3 Beta thru my Vibrant & it wasn't a problem. I just moved and have to wait for Comcast for like 2 weeks. Just want to watch some Netflix

I think what I read on Google says I need to be in Infrastructure mode or something. Idk... But the native wifi tether worked with my Vibrant so I can't imagine why it wouldn't work here.
Thanks for the help fellas. Happy Thanksgiving & all that

[Q] Does Evo 4g have a hotspot feature?

HI,
I just rooted and installed a new ROM on my phone but i dont see any program or feature that will allow me to use my hotspot feature for free. Can someone help me? or point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

If its a custom rom...go to settings then data and look for hot spot in those settings

Yes it does on sense roms u use the hotspot app on aosp roms u go to mobile networks in settings and use android AP or wifi hotspot, next time use the search feature u could have found your answer in about 2 seconds and after all search before u post is RULE#1 on XDA

Hey,
Yes it does sprint's evo was the first to offer 4g wireless tethering and it was a large selling point for the device when it first came out!
If you are rooted you will be able to use it for free the issue is sprint likes to block certain apps in the market so just go to 4shared.com and search for wifitether.apk or I like opengarden.apk and those will get you free tethering so you can get your tether on!! Root for the win!
I hope I helped if I did please hit the thanks button!

Wireless Tether app.

Ok I have been doing some searching and decided to piggy back on this post for my question. I am running decks rom with the hacked hotspot and I also have the tethering app. I mostly use the app because it tethers 4g and I live in a solid 4g area and life was good. I recently received an Acer iconia a500 tablet and for technical reasons beyond my level it does not read the tethering app as a network due to some adhoc or something close to that. So I'm forced to use the hacked hotspots. I would like to know if anyone knows of a rom whos hacked hotspot can tether 4g. Or if mine does...I just am not sure how to tell for sure. Temporary fix until I can root my tablet and allow it to read the tethering app. Thanks!

Thank you for the quick response. I went into the settings and all I see is LAN settings and Bluetooth and battery settings. Any help?

Which app are you using in wireless tether there's a setting for adhoc or infrastructure ill look at the settings in about 20 mins when my download is done cuz I don't wanna kill my wifi effing around with WT but when the DL is done ill tell u what label to look under

In wireless tether go in settings > setup mode > change it to auto in device setup just above it change it to generic or evo4g and try it that way I can connect anything to mine with those settings

Ok I think I'm going to try to download a newer version of wireless tether because I don't see those options. I have 2.0.7

I have the unlockhotspot.zip if you want to flash it also you can try mikG rom it has unlock hotspot too
Sent from my HTC.EVO.3D.Xda Premium

Appreciated, but that is not the issue. I have the unlocked hotspot but to my understanding that only tethers 3g. Is that not correct? And I'm trying to get my tablet to recognize the wireless tether app

I'm on the newest I think its 3.0.7 I use the built on tether on my evo but have wireless tether on my other phone since it doesn't have a built in hotspot I don't get 4g here so idk if the built in one will work on 4g for sure but its the aosp one not sprints so it might ill have to check next time I'm in 4gland

First off thanks for all the suggestions.
Quick update : I downloaded a newer tether apk that had those options. I set them to where my tablet recognizes the network but now it just stays stuck on "obtaining IP" and doesn't connect. I tried restarting tablet, restarting phone, changing ssid, all I could think of. Even connecting to another network then trying to switch. Does not ever connect. I can still connect with the hacked hotspot so not the end of the world but would like to solve this.

I've had that problem a few times too try fixing permissions I'm recovery maybe called uid mismatches depending on your recovery you can also go into LAN settings and try different ips in wireless tether and adjust the broadcast frequency under another setting I can't think of the name but they are all in WT

My PC and XBOX all read the wireless tether app. Make sure you have the latest one downloaded from google and not the market.

WIFI (Hotspot) Tether After ICS Update

Anyone found a work around the wifi tether issue? Rooted phone stock ICS.

If you can use Bluetooth then FoxFi + PDANet Tablet works well between me and my tablet. Not sure if it works with a laptop.

Go into titanium backup, and either freeze or uninstall tethering provision.

I don't know if that was exactly the tethering file i uninstalled with TiB, but that one isn't listed for me.
Actually, if i did remove it then that's probably what lets me use the built in tethering (under wireless settings). No redirect page for me... hm...

Wait, what's issue you're having? Are you trying to get back free hotspot for turning your device into a hotspot, or you can't connect?

I froze device management and the tethering provision, works now for me.
Unsure if device management was needed.

I deleted the apk to the HotSpot, and now I have to go all around settings to activate it. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of that APK, and either I'm blind, or none of them have an obvious name. If someone could point me to it, it would be awesome. I downloaded Mr. X's zipped rom, but can't find it there.
I could go to the market, and download one of those shortcut thingies, but I don't want those, I want the stock one.
Also, FYI, the only thing that has to be frozen/deleted is the Tethering Provision.

Thanks ejcortes, because this is what im looking for aswell.

Hi All,
I am having a slightly different issue. I'm rooted and have frozen the 'TetheringProvision 1.04.02.TM'.
When I was broadcasting, my computer wouldn't connect to the network. My workaround was to delete the connection in Windows Network Manager and reconnect.
My tethering icon is different than the above screenshots, I have a T-Mobile branded icon.
Now that I'm able to connect, I'm getting a message in my webbrowser to sign up for a tethering plan. I've tried a User-Agent switcher, but that didn't work... anyone have any suggestions?

it sounds like you did everything right that is weird. What browser do you use chrome? try a different browser first. Even though a different user string should have worked. Maybe they are catching on. Dont forget that all the carriers have people in here as well so they all know what we are doing.

Try using a phone or ipod to connect to your hotspot and see if that works.

I'm having similar issues with mobile hotspot. I have tried freezing and deleting Tether provisioning, device management, and a number of other stock services. However no matter what, the T-Mobile icon always appears when I enable hotspot or wifi tethering and I'm limitted to the stupid WEP access with generated keys.
Anyone have a functional workaround for enabling the ICS hotspot service? currently i'm using FoxFi, but would rather have the real deal

I deleted the tethering provisioning directly from system/app and mine is working fine both the usb tethering n hotspot tethering. I used root explorer to do so

ROM manage has a tethering app. Seems to work fine.

I am running rooted stock ICS and could not get tethering to work by freezing tethering manager. Then I installed the WIFI Tether app (the one made by the Titanium Backup people) and was able to tether via that app. That worked for about an hour and now I am getting the TMO upsell screen even when I try to tether through the WIFI Tether app. Any ideas?

You should freeze/uninstalling TETHERING PROVISION.

You can do it, but the only way I've found that works is to download the user-agent plugin for Chrome and set it to android.

I thought I read changing your DNS server usually works when trying to tether to a pc/laptop

I use the built-in wifi tether from CM10 but I only use it for Netflix from by BR player in my upstairs bedroom because my wifi doesn't reach up there and I'm too lazy to go out and buy a relay. For that it works but if I try to browse on my laptop with it, it gets the T-Mo message. You can use the original Wifi tether for root app and change your DNS settings to Verizon's network I think someone said once, but I don't really have a need so I've never tested it.
I will say it is VERY nice to have unlimited data though, no more throttle worries.

You should be able to tether after root, either through an app, a feature built into the ROM, or through other means...

I use wifi tether (hotspot) with my Android tablet and my Windows laptop.
Works great.

Tethering?

I found that the tethering app listed on here a while back doesn't work anymore with the newest update. Anyone have a suggestion what app does work with tethering on the new update?

Install hotspot shield vpn and run it with the tether app. By tether app i assume the treve mod tethering.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I don't run mods, I'm on stock, there was a post that had wifi tether. But what's the use to having a vpn block? I already have a vpn service on the phone.
Sent from my SGH-T999

That treve app is in the play store. Its not really a mod just install that and run it with ur vpn service.

Can't find the treve app on store either?
I've got cyanogen mod the last nightly

No treve in app store, you have the apk?

Try foxfi

Yea use hotspot shield to avoid the redirect clockwork tether mod to connect to PC via USB or Trevor wifi mod or if or using 10.1 use the windows based hotspotshild as soon as u tether or phone through the settings in 10.1

I have hotspot shield, and I downloaded foxfi, foxfi works with no problem, however, my tethering app from tmo launches as soon as I launch foxfi. Will my provider see that I'm tethering with foxfi? I also run the hotspot shield in conjunction with foxfi, will that still allow reporting to the carrier? The other tethering app you all are talking about, it's not on the app store. Any other tips? Thanks for the help so far.:thumbup:
