[Q] tether hack?

so i s the new wifi hack thats in some of the newer roms just an update to allow the use of wifi tether apps or did someone finallly hack the hotspot?
i think is the hotspot. some rom comes already with hotspot hacked....
A lot of ROMs have had the sprint wireless hotspot hacked for a long time. I know Myn's ROM has it hacked, and I'm sure there are many more
o no 30 dollar charge?

[Q] USB Tethering Question

So I know Sprint has their tethering program built into the phone, but in settings, there is an option to USB Tether, and I was wondering if I will get charged the 29.99 a month like i would if i used the Sprint program to tether. I don't think i will, but i was just wondering before i do it!!
Thanks!!!
attached is a screenshot of what the menu looks like even though i dont have it plugged into my computer
The $30 charge is only for sprint hotspot tethering. I haven't gotten the USB tethering to work for me but since I'm rooted I just use wired tether.

I'm rooted so I just use Barnacle Wi-Fi tether. Works well enough. Either way though its just 3G.
Does anyone know if the Sprint hotspot use the 4G data connection or is it 3G only?

Sprint hotspot does use the 4G, on my EVO 4G, i am rooted and the build i am running has the hacked version of it in there, 3G and 4G hotspot if you pay for it!!
I figured as much but you never know.

I Though the Wifi Tethering App, allowed the 4G/3G tethering without any problems? I've used it like 2 or 3 times, with my Epic 4G, and 4G/3G always have worked. ( I haven't rooted my ET4G phone yet, until there is a known way to go back to fully stock without problems..)

Clarity on hacked hotspots

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

autoprime tether not working anymore......

Ive been using autoprime tether for months now but ever since last week when i try to use my laptop with it, the tmobile website shows up saying i used up my hotspot data. My tablet connects to and works just fine. I was on 10r...now im on 10c and reinstalled primetether but i have the same problem. Could it be tmobile found me?
I started using PDANet for Bluetooth tethering, and it shows as hotspot as well. Not sure why T-Mobile doesn't allow Bluetooth tethering seeing as though it appears they can still meter it.
Yes I am having the same problem. The tethering mod doesn't seem to be working anymore. Does anyone know what's up?

A question about hotspots

So as you may or may not know, at&t doesn't allow their customers to hotspot from their phones without paying some fee or something. My g3 is rooted and I've been on fulmics ROM for a long time. The weird thing is that I can use the hotspot feature without restriction. How does all the hotspot stuff work? My home WiFi sucks and basically I have the best WiFi in the house because of my phone (and I use it for my PC)
My brother has an at&t g4 and I was wondering if he would be able to use his hotspot without restriction just because he's on a custom ROM. Any insight on this?
