Root Wifi Tethering

[Rxpert83]

What application do you guys recommend for free wifi tethering? I've noticed sprints app is on the phone after rooting but will I be billed the $30 a month if I use it?

Most roms have the Sprint Hotspot hacked, I would try one of aamikam's roms. MikG or Mik3D. That way, no worries


You can also try 'Wireless Tether for Root users' or 'Barnacles' from the android market

Thanks, I am currently running [ROM] - [MikRoms] - [8/9/2011] - MikG v2.45 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0.

All should be well to use the Sprint app then correct?

I can vouch for the first one, I tried it and it was great! It works with 4g as well if you are fortunate enough to be in an area that has it.

I currently pay for the hotspot. If I cancel will get the hacked hotspot? I am running Mik3D and Chop Seuy v9.2.6 and V6

Stop paying for hotspot.

Also this is the app I use for hotspot, works great for 4g/3g.

Also according to Mik's site, the hacked Sprint Hotspot does NOT connect 4g on Mik3D at least, but the way it is worded makes me assume this is normal for the app, not the rom... So I would assume 4g is not supported on the hacked app.

Yep, I hotspotted a Netflix movie tonight at work... and I'm sure as hell not paying 30$ extra a month for something that shoulda been built into the phone.

I haven't tried on Mik3D but 4G on MikG works just fine with the HotSpot

This is the wording used from themikmik.com . You will see why I wonder.

Mik3D Beta (B1) - Bug Report - Available Here

Yeah, somewhere in here I posted about using the wireless tether from the market and getting like 7M down on a speedtest.

In Mik3D, I would have 4G up and running and as soon as I turned on the built in hotspot, 4G would turn off and it would go to 3G.

That is what I meant by the 'first one', above too, sorry if there was confusion as to it being the hacked hotspot in the rom.

On the other hand, 4 fingers and a thumb...

I can't seem to get the market "wireless tether" app to work at all with the cm7/tiamat combo.

you do know that cm7 has a tethering app built in right? it should be in the wireless settings.

 

[dustwun77]

Yes, indeed. Think I used it too hook up my laptop and son's iPhone.

I was looking for that 4G Goodness I had with Mike 3D. Beta and the market app though and I just couldn't gaet it to work at all..

 

[biggie80]

I pay for the hotspot now ( only till I pay my bill then shut it off) and I get 4G hotspot on mik3d. It just don't show that I'm using 4G in the status bar.

ahhh i see. yeah cm7 is only 3g.

 

[dustwun77]

ahhh i see. yeah cm7 is only 3g.

i am just exploring, really. i don't need it that often and the built in one is sufficient. it was kind of cool in M3D to try the market app and see it tether at 4g speeds.

Thing is, I don't really get 4g anywhere except in my house and I have wireless here and don't need it anyway, just playing.

I wonder if cm7's usb tether would allow it to work on 4g? Hmmm.

i believe that cm7's wireless tethering does work on 4g.

What version of MikG and what kernel are you using? I am using MikG 2.5 with Chopsuey 9.1 and the hacked hotspot app won't connect to a 4G signal.

 

[Rxpert83]

I don't have 4G in my area so I can't really contribute to the question asked... but its my thread so I can add whatever bits of info I want .

I successfully played call of duty on the ps3 last night using my sprint hotspot app. It was only mildly laggy, but each time I got a call or text I lost my connection
