I know there have been posts in regard to this issue.
Wireless tether -- no go
Wifi Tether -- 4g only
Native Hotspot -- 3g only
The only Native Hotspot that I have ever gotten to work is with the Sprint Lovers ROM on the OG evo on Froyo only. I have tried the new SL ROM on GB and only 3g works. After reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172576 I may now know why 4g on Native doesnt work on the the 3d or OG evo. Was wondering if someone could incorporate the SL ROM "Wireless Hotspot" to the 3d and possibly the OG evo.
Thx

That's the WiFi tether from the market, search "WiFi tether"

Wifi tether - only one that works for 4g, but gives me 3g speeds to the connected computer.. anyone experiencing similar issues?
I dont know if this will help ya but i use Barnacle...it does 3g and 4g and works great.
Barnacle is fine, however, it doesnt switch between 3g and 4g unless u manually adjust the software. I drive a cab for a living, so when i drive in and out of 4g, Barnacle doesnt switch like "wireless tether" for the OG evo or the "wireless hotspot" for the EVO on Sprint Lovers Rom 3.70 Froyo.

Roms
I've found that Virusrom successfully unlocked the built in wireless and wired tethering abilities. I haven't tested the 4g with it though.
I tried synergy nightly and also Virusrom with the wireless tether app, neither of them seem to work, only the sprint hotspot.
Has anyone found any other roms that have unlocked the build in tethering services?

ViperRom works with the native Sprint Hotspot app. Best rom out there too for stability and battery life IMO.

so i tried to wireless tether my phone today to see if my new 4g connection was faster than my at home internet. however during a download i was only getting about 108kb/sec which is waaaay slow for 4g. im getting 2-3 mbps on the phone. im using barnacle wifi tether. is it the app? if so what app should i be using? FYI i dont want to use the actual verizon feature because they limit how much you can download per month.
edit: dur, if i read first... 2-3 mbps is still pretty slow for 4g on your phone though. you could try wireless tether: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

found the problem. says in description that barnacle shares 3g connection. can anyone suggest a good 4g tether or wireless tether app? i tried the one listed here but i couldnt find it on the market only in the link.

Get the one from Google. Verizon had Google take wifi-tether out of the market. Just make sure that you have install from unknown sources checked off.
that one still only says 3g and 2g in the description and it doesnt have a thunderbolt version. can anyone confirm it works with 4g and if so which version should i get?
It's a free app dude. Why not just try it?
because im out of town and dont have 4g and wont until monday.
I know that PDAnet claims to be capable of achieving very fast 4g speeds...I believe the description said 20-30 mbps, and it's a non rooted app. However, it isn't a wireless tethering app, you have to use a USB connection (or bluetooth, which will be slower.) If using a a USB cord is acceptable for you, or you can't find a wireless tethering app that you find to deliver adequite speeds for your needs, give that one a try.
Wifi tether worked for me i la,ok city,tampa, seattle should i continue, it has worked everywhere i have been either 4g or 3g,the phone is faster but it still works.
my screamin' lil' bamfed out tbolt
So finally and thanks to the fantastic devs I have achieved full root..I installed wireless tether from the market but when I turn it on my other devices get stuck obtaining an ip address..anyone else have this problem..any solutions ?
Just tested Barnacle with my mac, worked no problem
Google wireless tether pre14, always worked flawless for me.

This one is working for me, but only on 4G. I haven't been able to get it to work with 3G. Barnacle won't work on 3g for me either though, not sure why. Although thats okay, I'd rather it work on 4G than 3G anyways.
You need to go to the settings on this, and check the box that says "Routing Fix". After that, you should be good to go for tethering on 4G only.
If anyone knows how to get it working on 3G, please let me know.
I also tried Barnacle and it works fine. Speeds are kinda slow (prob my signal) otherwise it was painless.
hello all....

I'm running the same ROM as you and also tried to use wireless tether. I used it with the og EVO and it worked perfect. However I couldn't get WT to work with evo3d. Try barnacle WiFi tether. Worked fine for my 3d.
For the Sprint question I'm not sure, but I think $30 extra is ridiculous.

Try this it worked great for me on my 3D
Wireless Tether NEW VERSION - 3.1 BETA6
thanks for the reply i am currently using clean rom 2.3 sp1.
on the road about to hit a pit stop hopefully i can try this out (let see if hp touchpad can go on line)
would sprint know that i am using tether and charge me?
some guy posted that he was using it until he was charged by sprint but the same person who posted this only had 1 post and wouldn't reply to me questions.
Wireless tether is ad hoc so Sprint shouldn't be able to tell the difference between the data usage

this is confirmed and also works on 4g. Forget hotspot guys
Hey guys, i was helping some friends root their phones (galaxy s II and Evo 3D) and we couldn't get the wireless tethering app to work. I then checked my phone just for kicks and giggles, (Evo 4g which has been rooted and my tethering was previously working) and now it wont tether as well, most the time my computer will see the network but when it connects says it doesn't have internet access. The reason im posting this here is because it seems to be happening to multiple devices now, are providers blocking tethering now? whats the deal anyone having similar issues?
Same here bro, but on my evo and my girls optimus, and we both had tethering working and were using regularly. The only thing I can think of that changed was we upgraded to the newest radios last time we switched roms. Not at all an expert, you think that might have something to do with the problem?

Im not sure, i think it may have something to do with networks getting smarter... ie, sprint verizon att etc. are they maybe blocking it you think? Ive noticed it on all three of those carriers.
Companies like lg are always trying to break/kill root with every update, so I think if they could they probably would. Tethers a powerful tool that everybody wants, and most have now for free. That's alot of lost revenue.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
What carriers are you two using? I just tested my tethering on AT&T and it's working fine running unnamed on my SGSII
not working on a recently rooted galaxy s II for att..
not working on a recently rooted htc evo 3d for sprint...
was working for the lognest time just check my htc evo 4g and not working on that now for some reason.
ive tried barnacle and wireless tethering...
Question, are the ones having the issue on rooted stock rom? I know the thunderbolt rooted running stock rom has the tethering stop working. I'm on cm 7 so the carrier apk that checks for that is not in cm7. I still tether my Xoom daily.
If you are just using one of the programs from the market it may be a build issue, On one of my Evos I had an issue that made it so that only one of the programs worked and it only worked in pre-build 010 other then that it never worked until I flashed MikFroyo.
Just for kicks I checked to see if tethering is still working from the unlocked sprint hotspot and it is fine on my hardware 004 evo 4G
Wireless tethering is a b---- to get working on an EVO 3D (CDMA). Barnacle and Wireless Tether worked when I was using my Temp Root, but not with 4G turned on.
I fully rooted, and then I couldn't find the wireless tethering apps in the market any more! I hadn't backed them up with Titanium! However, I found the APKs elsewhere, installed them and still had problems (either they wouldn't work or I couldn't get 4G to work). Long story short, I upgraded Wireless Tether to 2.0.2 and the screen resolution is wrong, but I can do 3G and 4G wireless tethering!
However, the first time I tested my 4G tethering speed, I got only 2Mbps. I tried it again and got 1Mbps. Tested once more and got less than 1Mbps. So it's not perfect.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I used to have Wireless Tether for Root Users back on my s2, I think it came with CM7 but it was also a stand alone app, was basically the perfect app, gave root users a reliable un-throttled tether. I tried installing it after tr'ing my s4 but it just turns yellow and says there's an error then acts like it's working. I'm guessing because it hasn't been updated in about 2 years. is there something similar to this? I've read pdanet+ combined with foxfi is supposed to be good but it disconnects randomly I guess to encourage buying the premium version. I'm moving Monday and could use a reliable wireless tether for my girlfriend and a reliable wired tether for myself. I'd like to still be able to play LOL using my 4g and it should be possible as my friend tethered both of us off of his sprint 4g. here's the old app i'm referring to:
