Hi all.
Is tethering 4G available with the EVO?
Im currently running Fresh's latest ROM. Never really had the need/use to tether 4G but a co-worker wanted to connect to wiFi so to show off my Evo, I said "tether off mine"....
But the Sprint Hotspot (via Fresh Rom) only tethers 3G.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This program works great.
Sprint hotspot is blocked by default . Usb tether only does 3g unless u buy an app like pdanet or easytether. Fresh roms come already with wireless tether for root users that works with 3g or 4g .

Does 4G tether work on cm7? I tried going on facebook and it wouldn't work until I switched back to 3g tether. I'm guessing its not fully functional yet.

I know it works on Sense based roms because I used to tether my devices while connected to 4G almost daily before I got rid of my DSL and went back to Roadrunner Internet Service. Keep in mind that I was using the Wireless Tether app. I don't see why it shouldn't work on CM7. Are you using the Wireless Tether app or Sprint's Hotspot feature? If it's the latter, it is my understanding that the "hacked" Sprint Hotspot app only supports 3G, but if you're paying Sprint for the feature, you have 4G capabilities with it.
Well I'm using CM7's hotspot feature but I'll definitely try out the tethering app and get back to you.

Okay. No problem. If it's not pre-installed by default with CM7, you can download it for free via the Market....
So it seems that none of the tethering apps work on the ICS ROMs currently (at least not for me, the AD-hoc does not work), but the roms I use include hacked hotspot. Is this referring to the Sprint app that comes with the ROM by default? I have always used wifi tether apps because I an weary of activating that feature on my Sprint account and having to pay for it. If someone can clarify this for me then I would greatly appreciate it.
Wifi tether works fine for me on ICS. Make sure you choose Galaxy Nexus CDMA/LTE (toro) in the app settings.

if your rom includes hacked hotspot, I would take advantage of it. It basically is a work around the lock that Sprint has on it's hotspot feature. I would recommend that you use the hotspot hack so you can tether via 4G as opposed to using wifi tether with 3G speeds. It's all by preference though.
I am waiting for the tFD19_v0.1.0 odexed rom to get the hotspot hack so i can get back to my 4G speeds. But wifi tether is the best one so far for tether apps. Just make sure you change the Device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) and keep everything else on auto
Hello,
I was wondering if there are any advantages or disadvantages to using FoxFi over the built in tethering option for CyanogenMod 10. I love how easy the built in option is with CM10 but if it's more likely to be detected I'll keep with FoxFi. I've been using FoxFi for quite a while and just re-upped to CM10 today and am curious about this since the default ROM blocks WiFi tethering without a data plan through ATT.
Thanks!
I was wondering if anyone knew of a wifi tether app that works with 4.2.1?? the built in wifi tether app does work for me all the time
Many roms have tether built in so no app needed. Not sure of any apps that work for 4.2.1

I'm on a Gnex lte with a verizon unlimited plan. I'm running CM 10.1. the rom's hotspot shows up to connect, can't connect with my laptop, can connect on the ipad but dns error and no internet. WiFi tether app, both from playstore and beta3 version doesn't seem to broadcast a signal recognizable by either my laptop or the ipad. I'm wondering if the app just isn't working right or if verizon is blocking my tethering.

the built in wifi tether does work all the time, i used to use the app and it always used to work
Oh..ok
WiFi tether doesn't work on 4.2.1.

I have the the same problem. And my tablet connects to my phone no problem. So just because your laptop connects, doesn't mean the Xbox will, because mine won't. The problem is specifically with the Xbox not working all of a sudden when trying to tether using native or the tether app on 4.2.1. I hope somebody can find a solution soon because I love the new OS and really don't want to revert back.
i have spent two days trying to resolve my issue with wifi tether as well. i've tried 4..2.1 aokp (w/ stock kernel) and CM10.1. with both i've tried using wifi tether with my windows 7 laptop, to no avail. i have tried using open, wpa and wpa2. wifi tether does not work for me with any 4.2 roms. i finally gave up and went back to using my aokp build 5 where native wifi tether works normally.
**I found that Bluetooth tether works, but at an obvious sacrifice of bandwidth speed. wifi tether still does not work.
I'm on AOKP 4.2.1 for Galaxy S3, i747. Same thing, no wifi tethering.
"everyone" keeps saying it will work when there is no encryption, which yes.. others can connect to the network, however, they cannot run data/speedtest.
if you download the wifi tether app for root users ( WiFi Tether for Root Users
Müller, Lemons, Buxton )
it will have troubles starting and configuring AP.
I am having the exact same problem with mmuzzy image 4.2.1 on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I did find that svtp - lite tethering app works but 14.99 for the pro version no way.

Same issue on stock 4.2.1 takju. My tablets connects to my phone but can't get internet access through my phone. Used to work fine but ever since 4.1.2 its broken.

Have you guys tried "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin? I have seen reports that it still works with 4.2.1, but can't confirm it myself since I am on 4.1.1 atm.
The app does not provide hotspot functionality per se. It is a widget to toggle the built-in hotspot on and off. It bypasses the annoying carrier check if you have tether plan or not (for those of us that are still enjoying grandfathered unlimited data).
The app also does not require root.

wifi tether (native) now works on my phone after 4.2.1 aokp build 1 and build 2 did not work. again aokp 4.2.1 mr1 build 3 has a working wifi tether.
I too have had problems with numerous roms and tether. Just today I installed AOSPA 3.0 on my toro and guess what?
NO WIFI TETHER. Everything else was awesome but I have to have tethering when I'm at home.
So, I roll back to my trusty old CM 10.1 01/02/13 nightly build that runs great and has WORKING wifi tether. Good luck.

I know this doesn't help the OP but I just have to THANK YOU for this suggestion. The " Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin along with Foxfi and PDANet works wonderfully on my Verizon Gnex stock unrooted. So, I know its only 4.1.1. We'll see if we ever get 4.2, but in the meantime, this is way better than only being able to connect my Nexus 7 with Bluetooth because of the carrier check.
