I know we can use wireless tether, and get 4g working...but Would like to use the build in app for 4g tethering...works in 3g, but tells me not subscribed in 4g.

You cant get 4g to work without paying for it. It only works with 3g. You have to use a different app like wifi tether

Is there a way to get wifi tether to work on my EVO on boost?? I've tried and can't seem to get it to work. Is it even possible??

if your data (3g) works on boost then I see no reason why wifi tether wouldn't work.
My 3g data works just fine, but wifi tether doesn't seem to want to work

A little app called Quick Setting has a function called wifi hotspot that might help you.
I have a stock Photon and was wondering if Sprint charges for using the mobile or usb hotspot options. Seems to good to be true.

Yes, but you can root your phone and downloat wifi tether and get it free. Search the posts.

On my phone, the stock hotspot app doesn't work as I do not have a tethering plan. You can run the app but 3G/4G will be cut off.
android-wifi-tether beta6 works properly for 3G only, of course, after rooting and choosing the Galaxy 2/netd mode. However, it does not work on 4G and in fact, as someone else pointed out, it will disable 4G until your phone is restarted.
On my phone, barnacle tether works under 4G but doesn't work with 3G.
In short, root your phone. Use android-wifi-tether under 3G and barnacle tether under 4G.
does that only happen when using beta 6? I'm using beta 5 n 4g works fine for me.

Is there a way to tether somehow on sprints network but tethering on 4G rather than 3g? I have the sprint hotspot app working but it only connects to 3g and loses 4G signal when I connect. Any thoughts? And thank you all ahead of time!

As far as I know that's how it has always worked, even since the EVO 4G days. You'll have to use Wireless Tether if you want to tether on 4G.

YES, this is common knowledge!!! PAY SPRINT$30 a month and you can tether on 4g with the Sprint hotspot all you want. If you don't want to pay $30 a month than you have to use one of the other tethering apps out there to tether with 4g. The hotspot unlock only supports 3g.
Sweet, thanks everyone, I appreciate your input!

Yeah that's what I have heard as well about sprints hotspot App, and I myself use wifi tether and will use sprint if I ever need to for a computer that's needs to be tethered through usb cable nice feature to have as a backup.

Unfortunately for now the only way that I have found is to pay for the Sprint Mobile Hotspot. I was Fortunate enough to have been Grand Fathered into Unlimited Mobile Hotspot Data because I have been a customer since 1997 and was not to thrilled when I was told it was going down to 5GB per month. I called Sprint, ended up speaking with a Retentions Manager (Politely) and she took care of me and kept me at Unlimited Mobile Hotspot Data. I was really upset and let it be known I would take my 3 lines to Verizon.
I had it for FREE on my OG EVO but needed Mobile Hotspot when I moved over to the Photon.
mine works through open garden tether.
Perroype3 if your phone os rooted. You can use free tether hotspot wifi from your phone to laptop. Go head search wifi tether app from market. Even with 3G or 4G
Good luck

You're asking about a wired tether option?

Give that a shot. I haven't tried it personally, so let me know if it works for you. Should, if not, I can link you to a couple other free ones I've found.
Has anyone else had issues tethering on 4g? It seems like everytime I start up FoxFi and connect to it with another device, my 4g drops to 3g.
Yes. Does it on WiFi tether also. Temporary fix is to force 4G only or CDMA/4G only until the update is released for the 4G threshold fix.
