Hello all,
just picked up a fascinate to tinker with while waiting for new phones too arrive . With an easy task in qpst you can tether via verizon mobile hotspot for free. Obtain QPST (don't ask me where to get it)
Install GalaxyS Drivers (they are floating around the forum)
Put phone in modem mode (setting, wireless, enable dial up)
Fire up QPST (youll see windows adding the driver etc blah blah)
Add port (should be USB in there)
Once you see your phone in qpst goto the start clients menu and start service programming.
hit read from phone (password is 000000)
tab over to M.IP, under profile 1 click edit.
Changed tethered NAI to [email protected]
Click write to phone,
phone will reboot, use mobile hotspot
NOTE: I am not responsible for any charges you may get, but you should be fine
EDIT: Please note if you ever reprogram your phone *228, then you need to perform this again.
If rooted can wireless tether app work? Thinking about upgrading soon, but not wanting to pay for something free now.

technically this won't require root but yes i am rooted and using verizons app for AP mode instead of wireless tether for root users.
Is there an advantage to doing it this way rather than using wireless tether? Not being critical...just curious.
I didn't look into wifi tether for root much for the fascinate but by default it seems to use ad-hoc mode some may prefer AP mode also this helps those that don't wish to root.
Great point, having a norm connection would be nice. Got so used to ad -hoc. Thank-you for quick reply.

I was able to do this on the incredible via the phone. Anyway to access this on the fascinate? On inc I dialed a code into the dialer and changed setting

The latest wifi tether for root users is infrastructure....IT IS NOT AD-HOC!

Like i had mentioned the one i grabbed 2.0.5 pre 11 starts in adhoc.
Also for the person who mentioned incredible, samsung does not have on phone pst like incredible.

It supports multiple devices and has for a while now. Don't go by connection info, try multiple devices.

Do you mind telling me which version of qpst you used to program your fascinate?

Multiple devices and Infrastructure mode are not the same thing. Certain devices require infrastructure mode to connect, such as the PSP. Even though you can connect multiple devices to the phone through wifi, it still will not let you connect a PSP since the phone is identifying itself as a wifi device, not a wifi access point or router.

newbie Q: Wifi calling still use the plan minutes but without extra fees?
Hmm. I wonder if that now means TMo has a way of knowing you are doing wifi tether and start charging. I used it a while back only when I absolutely had to. Never got a text or pop up like some had reported. Thanks for checking.
Edit: nvm didn't read properly

I assume either they dont care anymore since they throttle at 10gb, or they may have inserted a preamble into the mobile ap so when its activated, itll let them know. But they wont just start charging for that. It would either need to be a feature that could be added, or if they did want to do it pay as you go, it would require a contract change and for that they need to give affected customers a month to leave without etf. They're already losing enough customers as it is.

Hi there,
I've an unlocked att atrix 4g which I use in India. I'm trying to enable the Mobile hotspot app in order to get Internet on my macbook.
When I try to enable the Mobile Hotspot button in this app, I get "account not setup for Mobile Hotspot", and in the notification bar I get "to enable go to att.com/wireless..." When I go to that site they ask me for my Mobile no. and password, which I don't have, because I'm not using the phone in the States.
Any suggestions how to get it enabled?
Thanks.
You can try the barnacle wifi tether app. Google it. Or Pdanet. Or the hotspot enabler in cm7.

Simple solution is to just flash a ROM with the entitlement check disabled. Such as any of the newer gingerbread-based ROMS. Or just disable the entitlement check yourself. Get SQLite or another program, it only takes a second or two and following some simple directions. I had to do it once and it was a snap. Good luck, and happy flashing.

this might still not work for him. im using homebase thats suppose to have tethering enabled but it still doesnt work for me in canada on fido network. it looks like it turns on and i can see the network but i cant connect to my laptop or desktop.
Bhayankar-if the phone is unlocked then you can find barnacle online and install it. thats what im currently using.
You could also use the airplane mode + wifi, go I to the market and download barnacle
Are there any roms or patches that will make the stock hotspot work? I am rooted.
wifi_tether_v3_1-beta5 works for me on 198_7 rooted. Set Device-Profile to 'Generic', setup method to 'Auto', I don't use encryption as I'm far enough away from neighbors not to worry. I use channel 6, 192.168.1.0/24 LAN, enable 'Routing Fix'. Comes configured with Google public DNS (8.8.8.8), works fine. Select 'Disable Wake Lock'. Works like a charm for me, 15+ Mbps down, 4+ up

BTW, this probably belongs in General, sorry Admins.
Flash a new kernel that allows the wifi tethering, i recommend Jokersax11's 1.3 or 1.4 kernel, they work amazing and you can use any wifi tether in the market

I am running home rom with 1.4 oc. I cant get thestockwifi tether to pass data. I need security. I dont want to run open.
No one has really find an interest in the stock hotspot we have to use wifi tether for now development on the photon isn't very big :/
Well there are different options on how to approach this, and it depends on which version of WirelessTether you are using. If you are using 2.0.7, your options are limited, but the 3.0 beta's are where the availability opens up on how many [Device-Profiles] you can choose from. You can reduce your output power to save battery with the older versions, but not the new ones for some reason.
Because Sprint has blocked you from downloading them, you have to sideload them. You can download it directly from google at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ (Newest is Beta 11)
Here's what you do if you want to set it up in INFRASTRUCTURE MODE, otherwise it is defaulted as AD_Hoc:
Open up WirelessTether
Hit the *Menu* button and press Settings.
Under [Device Profile], select Google NexusOne (This is the most common profile for this mode, I've tried different ones. Most of them work)
Under [Setup Method], select Netd (master)
(If you wish to do so, select encryption and channel options.)
Scroll down and check [MSS Clamping]
Then when you press back and activate tethering, WT will hack and take over your stock Mobile Hotspot app and you will be broadcasting an Infrastructure network rather than an ADHoc one.
It is common to see "Mobile IP Response error" over and over again until your Photon finally handshakes itself into the network. Ignore it. Shouldn't take more than a minute if it doesn't do it on the first try.
Now you don't have to download any trial apps and turn this and that off... blah blah blah. You can also setup a widget to turn off tethering using this method.

When that happens, you have a Photon that needs to connect on 3G only first. Then after it's connected, you turn on 4G and let it take over the connection. It should work at that point.
Also make sure your bootloader is locked or you won't have 4G anyway.

Please state what ROM your are on.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
If your phone doesn't already include the option to tether in your settings, download the app from the link above. Once downloaded you're pretty much good to go from there... Sorry for not elaborating more, but I'm typing this on my phone... When I get to a PC in the morning I'll type up something more formal/informal.
Quick question for reference, what rom are you using?
My vibrant has a euphoria.. I thought T-Mobile block tethering...

They blocked tethering through user agent sniffing . Chrome seems to be the only user agent being blocked at the moment . If you use internet explore it will work or you could use "user agent switcher" extension for chrome .

Really? Because I just typed up this post on my PC in Google Chrome (without the "user agent switcher" extension) and I am currently tethered to my Vibrant. I've also tested Internet Explorer, which also works while tethered to my Vibrant... I'm using the app I mentioned above, although the built in wireless tether feature also works for me. Then again, I am using a custom rom, so that could explain why it works for me. Anywho... landrian18, you want to know how to get tether on your device? OK, I'll show you how to do it both on an ICS rom and with the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" app.
On an ICS rom:
Note- I'm not positive this is the same method you would use on euphoria as I'm on a different ICS rom, however, you can still try and see. It should be the same.
1. Go into your phones system settings, this can be accomplished by either locating the settings icon in your app drawer/home screen or by clicking the leftmost physical touch button on your phone.
2. Under WIRELESS & NETWORKS click More....
3. Click Tethering & portable hotspot.
4. Click on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Note 2- Your phone is now acting like a Wi-Fi hotspot and is accessible/detectable by almost all wireless devices except other Android smart phones. If you would like to encrypt your Wi-Fi hotspot click Configure Wi-Fi hotspot and change the password. You can also rename the Wi-Fi hotspot by changing the SSID from AndroidAP (or whatever the default is) to whatever you'd like.
On the app:
Note- These steps are written under the assumption that you have already installed the "WiFi Tether for Root Users" application.
1. Locate and launch the WiFi Tether for Root Users application.
2. Done. That's all you got to do.
Note 2- If you want to customize the SSID, password (remove password), encryption type, etc. Simply go into the apps settings.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO ASK.
I'm on a custom ROM I've been tethering forever but now I get redirected to TMobiles tethering advertisement page . Others have recently complained about this on XDA . It only works of I use user agent switcher .

That's rather intriguing. Especially since the thread you linked me to originated in 2010. I've never had this issue, although I do use Google Chrome. Hmmm... Very interesting indeed. So you get a window from T-Mobile if you tether using Google Chrome and without the switcher extension?

does the phone charge, tether and receive incoming calls while pluged in usb, during wifi or usb tethering? (I used to tether an evdo device and an incoming call would drop the internet)
2.
supposedly easytether will screw with any future attempts to flash your phone and best avoided, whats the best fully featured free alternative to pdanet for a rooted vibrant to usb tether? + can you confirm wifi tether for root works on device?

If I use firefox on my laptop and get redirected to a tmobile subscription page all I have to do is install this addon on my laptop. even if I get re-directed before installing the addon, installing the addon will solve the issue?

Just a quick question, are you sure you have the vibrant, and not the galaxy s 4g? There is no stock gingerbread on the vibrant...
Side note, I've used easy tether (great alternative to pda net) along with firefox for a few years and have never seen the t mobile warning. Used it on stock and rooted g1 and vibrant with never any issues.
Does an incoming call drop your usb internet connection and does it charge while connected?
Unless I'm wrong the sgh-t959v is a vibrant as observed from the label. I updated via kies to gingerbread rom from mfg that why I called it stock, not a custom rom.
T959v isn't the same as our t959 Vibrants.
Ours didn't have a GB update via Kies. Be careful even using Kies.
-I'm not sure there is much in our Vibrant thread that applies to t959v at all. Is the t959v the Samsung Blaze 4g? I must research this when I have time.
note: don't modify your phone with anything you see here at all until someone with more knowledge chimes in. I think its a bad idea.
T959v is the galaxy s 4g! T959 is the vibrant. The vibrant never got the gingerbread update, galaxy s 4g did.
Easy tether does charge while in use, phone calls I don't know, never tried.
