[Q] Will I Get Charged From (Wifi Tether)? - Sprint LG Optimus G

I just Rooted my Brand New LG Optimus G.
I also just installed the (Wifi Tether) app from the Play Store. I was wondering if I would be charged for using this application to tether.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Oh! I was also wondering if there were any custom ROMS available for the LG Optimus G. (Sprint)
If (Wifi Tether) won't work. What will work to not get charged?
If (Wifi Tether) works, are there certain settings I should put in? If so, what are they?

No, you will not be charged by Sprint for using the Wifi Tether app.
There are no Custom ROMS at this moment but the devs are currently working on making some in the near future

Generic ICS/JB wlan0 ...settings in WiFi tether that'll work.

Does that actually work? I had tried that the other day and even if I am able to get the connection to show is running, I can't get any device to see the signal. Once I was able to get my laptop to see the connection but when I tried connecting it went nowhere.

I get a Bluetooth hot spot without any root. Works great. Foxfi works fine.

Yes, it does work. I am using Wifi Tether (the one with the yellow icon) and have no problem connecting tablet or laptop to my phone, data works as well. Check the setting and make sure you are broadcasting the ssid

Help? My 3g hotspot wont work

So basically I can start my hotspot and connect to it from NY computer but there is no internet and I did the usual hack of changing the security and default profile names. Any ideas why I get no connectivity ?

I tried *228 and then redid everything but still no internet.
I cant figure it out i have a feeling this is going to be like my contact sync (just stopped working one day hasnt ever worked since on my one account although all other accounts work)
Is this a Verizon app or wireless tether? I recommend the latter.

Sorry, but I've only used tether which works perfectly. I haven't even tried stock, and I'm way too busy to attempt to try right now. Hopefully someone else with more experience or free time will step in.

Doesn't Verizon charge you for their Wireless Tether service?
(Which is one more reason to root your phone in the first place)
If rooted, try Barnacle. It works great for me.
Verizion does charge for their wifi hot spot so if you are not paying them for it that is why it is not working.

Yea, I thought so.
I also can't get any tethering app to work right. After awhile none will load video and they all stopped working all together after 50mb or si.

What ROM are you using? Is your phone Rooted? Are you running any Task Killer/Manager apps?
I had that happen after I switched (updated) radios, and then tried a couple other versions. The hotspot needs to be reactiviated after a radio switch (or so it seems). After following the directions, then rebooting, it seems fine again.
I also use wireless tether, but for me it's a push between them except the hotspot allows the droid to be seen as infrastructure.
Switching radios didnt cause wireless tether to stop working, so I wonder if it had anything to do with changing the throttling in services.jar?
I'm using virtuous 3.1 and the 7.28 radio. For some reason both wireless tether and easytether pro both crap out at a similar point. They both do it with or without the? Uncapping mod. They also just completely stop loading video a little before crapping out all together

Make sure you're not running any Task Manager/Killer app as I used to run Virtuous 3.1 with Advanced Task Manager and it caused problems for me. Also try running an update on the roaming (*228 option 2).
Thanks ill try and check back

Do you have access control on? Idk if that has been said or not but mine wouldn't work till I turned it on and allowed my computer to use the internet.

Or try dialing *228 and reprogramming your service. That could do it
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Good idea
Over tried *228 options 1 and 2 but nothing seems to work for some reason no matter what I do all tethering craps out after a little bit and the 3g hotspot will never work it just shows up as connected with no internet

Wireless tethering not working

i have a D-incredible and im rooted. i am trying to get wireless tethering to work. when my laptop connects to the phone's ap i cant browse the net.
I set my laptop to ad-hoc mode. I'm using wireless tethering for rooted users. I get an IP address etc. I enabled access control. Any ideas?
Might be stupid but did you make sure after you enabled access control you checked the box for your computer on the access control screen to allow it to get internet?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Yes I did that.
I use WiFi teather its a green WiFi symbol app. It's worked fine for me just install and connect to wireless network.
i had a problem when rooted and using the stock rom. check this out:
code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/Setup_HTC_Desire_Incredible
worked for me.
I'm a fool. I had 3G turned off. Problem solved.

Wifi problems

I'm on stock efo2 with ef10 modem
I can connect to 3g and 4g just fine but wifi disconnects as soon as it connects
Its not my router cause my iphone 3gs and nexus s can connect and I went to my friends place and tried his too.
My epic could connect before so I'm wondering what wrong

Changed channels on wifi router
Both my wife and I have Epics and they did the same thing a few weeks ago. Very frustrating when your 3g signal is weak at the house. My phone had been rooted in the past but I was back on stock for other reasons. My wifes phone has never been rooted. I decided to root my phone again and went to the EE03 modem and gingerbread rom to see if that would help. It didn't. I tried my old SDF rom from a few months ago and it was still the same. Finally I went in to our router settings (even though it works great with our wii, and both laptops) and changed the channel from 1 to 11 and now our phones connect great and stay connected. What really baffles me is that my phone wifi seemed to do the same cycling thing on other wifi signals as well. I haven't tried it at other places since it started working at home again. If I think of it I'll do that and post back the results.
So for me, changing the channel on our wifi router seemed to fix the problem.
Might be worth a shot.
Thx
Ill try that
Now time to google how to
Today after I left my house and left for work my modem just died so my phone was just as good as a brick
I just fixed it now
And as you said flashing modems dont help

damn changing the channel didn't work
I changed from 1 to 11
Still can't connect
Channel 8-11 are completely empty so wtf is wrong
I also just went over to my neighbors place and connected to his wifi just fine so I know my epic works

I can't connect to my home wifi at all, but all of my electronics can....

Question... Do you have your settings for your Wifi router saved on your phone? ...My buddy was having this problem yesterday, and I told him to reset the settings and he reconnected and everything worked after that. It's worth a shot if you haven't tried it already.
Damn it didnt work

Try a different modem, like EF02, EE03, or EC05. Or something in your rom may have gotten corrupted. Try flashing a new rom and kernel. Wipe everything first. Or try a nandroid from before you had the issue, if you have one available. Not entirely sure these ideas will help, but worth a try I suppose.

Fixed
What I did was go to cmd prompt
Type ipconfig
Take the number next to gateway
Paste that number into the browser
Google what your router's default password
Now find factory reset
That's all I had to do

how old is your house
I just recently moved & @ my old place I couldnt get my wifi to work @ all or even work on my xbox that was 5ft from the router & then i move out, dont change anything & like magic my wifi works perfectly on everything. i was told it was bc my old place was sooooo old it was made back when they used chicken wire to hold the "drywall mud" bc back then drywall didnt come in sheets it came in a bucket...
Not sure if this is the same problem or not.
My WIFI shows as being connected even when it is not connected. Thus, it appears that I am connected but data is in fact NOT working.
I tested this by choosing an encrypted wifi connection in my neighborhood and entering a random password. To my suprise IT CONNECTED! Nope, not really. it just showed like it was connected, it really showed that I had connected to my neighbors encrypted WIFI, but when I opened the browser to navigate I got nothing. Fooled me.
Any ideas?

You tried installing roms wiping extra right?
Then it's probably your phone, take it to TMobile.

Your sig says your on a Motorola, is that correct. But if your rooted there's a few good tether apps in the market. Also there's some good roms with it unlocked already.
