Can anyone tell me the difference between the two on 2.2 Froyo. I currently have an Incredible & would like to know if one is better in any regards than the other.
They are the same......only the one from vzw costs $20...but you can hack it to get it for free.

i use the hotspot bc it was easy to get for free... but seems to take a lil longer to connect
i've actually been having troubles with the verizon hotspot, when i use it for longer than maybe 5 or 10 minutes it starts stopping and starting constantly unless i reboot the phone and try again. sometimes it lasts longer. also, the internet speed seems slightly gimped as well, everything seemed to work faster through wireless tether app (download speeds were higher as well).
I got rid of '3G HotSpot' and just use 'Wireless Tether' v2.0.5-pre7.
Pre8 is out now too

Ya, I did the free hack, and it works. Anywho thanks, I was thinking they were the same, I was just curious...
wow, really works. thnx alot!
I've done the hack more than once with different 2.2 ROMs, but I either cannot see it while scanning for hotspots or cannot obtain an IP address (via laptops, handhelds, etc).. So I stick to Wireless Tether.
I find that the 3g hotspot thats built into froyo (with the dun mod hack) is a little quicker... haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
OK, guys so although I am relatively smart at things all this is new to me so can i ju confirm that the wireless tethering I have on my incred is utilized the same as the verizon mobile hotspot would correct? Meaning the tethering allows my phone to be a mobile hotspot as well??

Worked like a freaking charm... Thanks man your awesome.. Now just curious is there a way for verizon to know that someone is utilizing their hotspot without paying for a subscription? Also, the wireless tethering is the same as the hotspot correct??
I'm still using the android.tether (wireless tether) I got from mejdam on youtube. Not sure if he wrote the app or was just sharing it out, but it works great.
I'll never load up Verizon's Hotspot app. Even with the hack, I just wouldn't trust it but that's me.
Yeah I'm using the android tether as well, but have also opened the mobile hotspot just to have it..
I cant get wireless tether to work on mine! Running 8/26 OTA leak, wireless tether pre .8 and BFS #1. Log shows iwconfig failed, HELP please
Wireless tether and Verizon
Hey, just to let every one know, Verizon can easily watch you bandwidth usage and if your downloading a lot they will notice that your not paying for it, and having to be rooted to use wireless tether, that's a violation of your contact.... just sayin....
I was playing around with settings tonight and discovered Settings -> More Settings (under Data) -> tethering. Checked it, paired my phone and my Win7 PC, initiated an "access point" connection from the PC, and suddenly I was browsing while using my phone as an access point. Granted it was 3G speeds, but it did work.
Does this work for me because I have mobile hotspot, or is this a feature that shouldn't be working, or does it work for everyone? I'm not rooted, using the latest software update (with multiview). I can't even remember far enough back to when a carrier would have ever simply allowed bluetooth tethering, not even Sprint. It's a nice feature to have since WiFi radios usually wear batteries down faster.

this will work for anyone the only thing differnet for people subscribing to hotspot and those who dont is the ability to wirelessly tether with hotspot. hopefully soon we anyone rooted at least will be able to use free wifi thether
Interesting, thanks. I'm still surprised Sprint would allow this considering they offer unlimited data.
That's weird. I just tried this and I got an error 67, registration failed. Maybe they "fixed" it in the software update.

Are using a Galaxy Note 2 on Sprint? Your image tag says you're on AT&T.
Sprint has unlimited data on the phone data only. They have separate plans for hotspots.
2GB @ $19.99
6GB @ $49.99

I wasn't talking about hotspot. I was talking about Bluetooth tethering, and asking if it requires hotspot to work, because with unlimited data you could tether with bluetooth and theoretically have unlimited internet on your PC through your phone.
Can you tether via wifi? There is a wifi tethering app. You can find on xda or PM me and I will email it to you or post a dropbox link.

Hey all,
Does anyone have a wifi tethering app suggestion? or specific settings to set on a particular app to get wifi tethering working?
I'm rooted using MotoChopper. I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users and I can get the app to start just fine but my the network doesn't appear to be broadcasting as I can't see it on any other devices.
I can't use the built in hotspot feature because it's not enabled on my plan.
I understand it's early in the development stages for the SGS4 but just seeing if anyone has a workaround for the time being.
Thanks,

Some strings need to be edited in the framework to change where the traffic get directed to so T-Mobile doesn't see you are tethering. Then you will be able to use the native app/toggle.

any simple app suggestion?
Do you need "wifi" tethering?
If not, PDAnet for me via bluetooth and usb.

does it provide free tethering? or are you on a tethering data plan?
Is it possible to redirect all tethered traffic through a VPN and therefore circumvent t-mobiles tether detection?
E.g. set up an SSH tunnel with port forwarding on the phone and then set your phone as a proxy server on your PC?
Or, if t-mobile only uses user-agent detection, can you simply use a VPN directly from your PC? As all traffic is then encrypted, t-mobile should no longer be able to identify its origin.
im on my unlimited plan, and the free version is limited to a small bandwidth limit. 8 bucks for the full version and no additional fees.
Sup Guys, so I recently I rooted my phone thinking that I could find a fully working way that would let me get free wifi hotspot from tmobile. I have the 4G Nation Unlimited data plan which is supposed to give me 2.5 GB of Hotspot but it doesn't. So I called and asked tmobile and they said I can't this service cause I have "Grandfather Plan" so I have to upgrade my plan, which I'm not willing to do.
Anyways, does anyone know a hack that would let me bypass the wifi hotspot plan verification thing?
*I want to connect my Ipod touch 5th gen to the wifi
You need a vpn.

I'm kinda new to this? What is a VPN exactly and I heard that it slows down speed.
Oh and my hotspot doesn't even turn on because it says I don't have the wireless hotspot plan.

You'll need to use the Root method for enabling hotspot or download a custom ROM with native hotspot enabled. And only the free VPNs slow your speed. If you pay for a VPN then its not slowed (usually costs around 3 bucks a month for the VPN) A vpn will be the only way to get the itouch working as i don't think you are able to change the User Agent of the Safari browser on the itouch.
And Google will give you more and faster answers then waiting for a reply on here if you don't know what a VPN or User Agent is

A custom ROM would takeout t mobiles hotspot agent out right? If I got a custom ROM do I still need to use a VPN to access the internet?

User agent checking is done on the T-Mobile's servers when they receive the data. Its impossible to stop that without a VPN. So you would still need the VPN to bypass that.

Oh, okay thx. Do you any custom ROMs that would help me? and can you please give me instruction of how to install it.
Moved to Q&A.
Just download "Wi-Fi tether router" it's $2 in the play store. It's the only working app that does hotspot through data rather than the hotspot plan. Or use a custom rom with a hacked hotspot built in.

Flash a ROM that has it bypassed, like Fenny's stock kitkat ROM. Tethering works fine for me on it.

It's a hidden gem I found that will solve a TON of hotspot issues and all you have to do is be rooted.

I just upgraded to Lollipop and I am not sure if I like it. Anyway, I found out that I couldn't start my FoxFi , probably blocked by Verzion or something. However, I think I found a work-around. When I started the hotspot process in FoxFi, I would pull down my notification bar and tap the Mobile Hotspot. The phone wouldn't do anything for a few second then it would say I that I don't have a mobile subscription 'yada yada' but then the hotspot would turn on and the SSID would have FoxFi99. The FoxFi app says the process failed, but the hotspot is active.
Think I might have found a useful glitch?
