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.

[Q] Wifi tethering app compatble with the 3DS? or necessary tweaking?

Hello.
First off thank you for reading.
Title pretty much asks the question... "Are there any settings I can tweak to make my 3DS work with this version? or any version? or maybe another Wifi tethering program I can download?"
I can get into specifics. I'm running ACS Frozen v1.2, with Genocide v2.0 Kernel, and I'm running the Wifi Tether program v2.0.7 (I'm not a fan of the packaged version, always seems to mess with my phone, giving me tons of force closes on the core system and swype, v2.0.7 gives me the connection I need to do what I need to do on my netbook, so why upgrade, unless necessary for my 3DS)
Thank you in advance!
I think the 3ds does infrastructure ony and most tether apps only do ad-hoc. Try using open garden tether from the new epic 4g apps section or google epic wifi tether infrastructure

Use WEP (64) security option. This worked with my ds lite
maybe 3ds supports more but the one above is the only tethering that could connect to my DS lite.
LOVE IT!!!!!
WiFi Hotspot works with my 3DS
I downloaded the Wifi Hotspot Trial from the Market today, and it seems to work fine with my 3DS connected to my Samsung Charge rooted with GummyCharge FE 2.0. This was after I was unable to get Open Garden or Barnacle to work with the same set up.
I really would like to get Open Garden working with it. I like the software overall. Still, Wifi Hotspot has done me well thus far.

Is there a wifi tether out that is working for the e4gt ?

Check out the sprint hotspot hack. Sorry for no link. Think it might be in the themes/app section

The previous 2 posts handle all of your needs. Hotspot hack is only for 3g right now Wifi Tether works great for 4g needs

STOCK E4GT with root... when I try to load any version of Wifi Tether it makes my wifi radio not work again at ALL until I uninstall wifi tether AND run another app that utilizes the wifi radio like the kies app after a restart. This is consistent after 4 different version attempts. I do NOT want to try to the deodexed hotspot hack until the LOS fix is official, because I do not want to run anything but stock until then. Anyone in my boat that has figured out how to make it all play nicely?

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?
I had the same issue. Until I did the same.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
...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.

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?

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!

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

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

What Tethering App Are You Using?

I’m trying to find the best app to tether my tablet. I’ve got an ASUS Transformer Prime and it’s WiFi only, no 3G/4G so I’m trying to find the best way to share my internets from my Samsung Galaxy SII. I found this great app called FoxFi but for some reason I can’t just turn my phone into a hotspot and use my Transformer to connect via WiFi. I have to use a companion app on my tablet called PdaNet Tablet and it connect via Bluetooth! I don’t understand how it works, but it is very cool. The only downside is I can only seem to browse the web with connection. If I try to use the mail app or even access the Google Play store, it won’t connect. The only thing it will let me do is surf the net. Long story short, there’s a ton of apps out there, and without wasting my money trying them all I was hoping I could get some feedback here from people who’ve used apps with better success. Any input is welcome, thanks!

PdaNet "free version" will not let you go into secure sites, you need to pony up for that.

Wifi Tether or Barnacle Wifi tether. Bother work very well.Wifi tether shows up on our Market so thats the way to go! I will say if your tethering to a computer Get a older version of pda net 3.0 It is unrestricted. You can get the windows install file too. Google it. You charge phone while tethering.

Some wifi devices can't see adhoc hotspots. Many tethering or hotspot apps can only go into that mode because of the phones limitations. The hotspot app that comes with the phone usually is infrastructure mode. Everything can connect to that. In simple terms, adhoc is like internet connection sharing from a computer. Infrastructure mode is like a wireless router. You could look if someone has a modified wpa supplicant file for the tablet if it can't see the phone. Then it will work. I had to do that to my old galaxy tab in order to connect to the net through the phone.
Yeah I went into settings in my E4GT, and there's a Bluetooth tether option that works great for my tablet. A little slow, but better than nothing. Thanks for the input everyone!
Which wifi tether app from the market are you guys talking about? I just got a galaxy tab 2 7.0 and want to tether it from my epic 4g touch. When i search the market, there are a couple of wifi tether apps but I don't know which one to use. I am not rooted by the way. I just want to tether 3g/4g when I'm at work on my break because I don't want to use company's wifi network.
Foxfi
I've used wifi tether and foxfi. Only difference is u have to pay for the full version of foxfi. But wifi tether doesn't work on some versions. Worked on fi27 but doesn't on fk23

I'm not rooted. Is there one where I don't have to root?
Also, if I do root, will my phone still be secured?
wondering if there is a better USB tether app for ICS,
The team that made the wife tether, had a USB tether that worked great for Ginger Bread, but was never ported to ICS :|
