I believe my phone is rooted... & I was able to use my phone as a modem, using the wi-fi tether app, for a long time.. Then I didn't use it for months. I tried to use it today, but I don't think it's working any longer.
Are there any specific setting that I need to set, in order for it to work? Is there anything I need to look or check for, to make sure it's all good? Is there anything I CAn download to make it work for sure??
I am on Android 2.3.6
Still using gingerbread el29
sprint epic 4g touch
Any help would be appreciated!!

also..if initially it doesn't work change setup method to ad hoc
It's not working. Not even showing up in the list of available networks on my PC. It used to work. I dunno why it stopped.. This sucks
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Might i recommend uninstalling the app and reinstalling. Change device profile in the wifi settings to galaxy nexus (cdma/Lte) should work without changing to ad hoc

Okay I just tried it today & it keeps saying it started with errors & to check the log. So I did &,it keeps failing on the "loading wifi driver" part. What does that mean??
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I keep trying to get it to work &,all it is saying is that it started with errors. & the error log said something about the wifi driver failing to load... It worked last night. Don't know why it stopped. Please help.

I use this app it's "wifi tether for root users" I've used it on GB,ics and jb as long as you're rooted all you gotta do is click the button to start the hotspot.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Same here... Wifi tether for root users is what I use for all platforms... GB, ICS, and KB. Reinstall the version I told you to get and do exactly what I said and it should work fine. Don't change anything except phone profile to galaxy nexus CDMA/LTE. When you change the profile in the apps settings it should say toro briefly and disappear. Make sure you have the version I mentioned above... Or pm me and I will email you the apk file. And yes you must have some signal to get any of the tether apps to work

hit the thanks it doesn't hurt.
Also alot of roms (assuming you are rooted) come with native sprint hotspot hacked and ready for use.

I do have the version you mentioned, in your above reply, installed. &,did the settings like you said &,all I keep getting is the error of wifi driver loading, failed.

Everyone I time I move to on new roms it typical updates shortly after through okay store. are you absolutely sure you are rooted? You can get root checker from the play store
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Could always try Fox Fi (If it hasn't been mentioned) should work without Root as well. (I typically don't tether much if at all so cant' really chime in on it too much) i do have a friend who uses it constantly at work with no issues.
Ok either try clear clearing cache and dalvik cache in recovery... Reboot and install the wifi apk and do it again. Our maybe get FoxFi or a Custom ROM with sprint hotspot hacked... If you p.m. i'll give you the best chances for free wifi

I can't connect to the the sprint network anymore. Everything else on my phone works. I can still surf the web (on WiFi), but I can't connect via 3G connection. I can't send text or make calls.
I've already called Sprint customer service, but they won't fix the problem because my phone is rooted. Is there anything that I can do to correct this issue?

I've already tried that. I don't think that my phone is even connected to the network. Thanks for responding.
Does that error out? Keep trying it... Sometime mine will fail 15 times, and then ill try it 20 mins later, and it'll work after 1 try.
Also, did you make an efs backup?

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Long story short. Wireless tether for root works. BUT it'll kill WiFi. You can only use one or the other per reboot. Unless something has changed.
Edit. On ZVB anyway

WiFi Tether for Root, or Wireless? I have WiFi Tether for Root but it requires a slew of steps to work, I've read.
Haven't gotten it to work with the suggested settings, but haven't bothered spending the time to utilize a workaround.

Each device is different. You should look for support for the device in question rather than something completely different.
Try device profile = generic wlan(0)
Setup method = netmasterd
Reload wireless driver checked

Make sure you're connected top WiFi when you do it, as it'll need to download some files in the process
I can't send any picture messages, I have a tmobile locked s3, not rooted or anything, please help. I've tried resetting the apn and everything, rebooting the phone etc.

Help!

Were you able to send mms before? Try sending while wifi is on and off.
It could be a network issue too. Does it say 4g in the status bar?
Call support to see if tgey have any problems on their end.
If not, you could backup all your data and factory reset. Other than that I'm not sure right off hand.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
I have 4g, full bars, I tried with and without Wi-Fi, tried resetting the apn, even though I didn't mess with it in the first place. I don't get it.

Are you sending it with stock MMS app? And are you sure you can properly connect to the internet?

Yes everything is stock, I have data because I'm using 4g to use Facebook, web, and currently this xda app.

This is a total shot in the dark, so try if you want to.
Power off
Remove battery
Remove SIM
Replace SIM and battery
Reboot
I know it sounds strange. But stranger things have worked!
I still think calling support and finally factory resetting is your best option.

Too bad I didn't see this sooner!
I have had that problem on 3 different occasions....
The simplest and always the only fix was:
Called my provider (T-Mobile)
Asked them to remove me from the network, and re insert me (my phone, that is)
Removed the battery, waited 3-5 min
re-installed the battery, and booted.
sent a mms picture to myself, and Got it!
no real work on my end. It seems the re-insertion to the network is the "Fix" that makes it work.
This why Doc said to call his provider. They should've done this if he called.
On the online chat with tmobile.. if course they want to make me try the hundred things I already tried..

I'd call back and tell them exactly what you read from bobo above. Tell em you looked up the problem online and saw several places that said the same thing. Ask for a supervisor if they still won't try.

It's all fixed after they put in the order. I was at work while it got fixed.
