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.

Hi, I have a stupid question about tethering... I have always used wireless tether for root from the market, but I have Ken's Alien rom, and im wondering since it has tethering, can I just use the mobile hotpot feature without fear of AT&T finding out and charging me?

How easy is this question? Doesn't anyone know haha

Well i have read then at&t can generally find out but it is easier to be caught with an iphone I should know because I used to have an iphone 4 flash a c a tricks I say using an app which state that I can hide tethering.
Other ways of hiding your tethering include not using it for a long session
Thought I was caught using tethering on the iphone I still haven't been notified on my atrix
But the common consensus is that there is no real way to hide your tethering from at&t unless they really have a reason to look into your account

Use Barnacle.............it works fine and is safer than using the APN for tethering.

<edit> I prefer WiFi Tether, but it doesn't appear to work with 2.3.4............at least not for me.
<edit 2> Just realized WiFi Tether has been updated: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list.
This works with me now. You will get an access control error, but ignore that and you will be fine. Verified working on my laptop here at work. Got 3.5Mbps down and 1Mbps up which is usual dl/ul speed for me at work.
Yeah, wifi tether for root is working flawlessly, but it would be nice to just use mobile hotspot from the phone haha.

Mobile hotspot worked for me. I did the sqlite edit and clicked on the mobile hotspot app and played around with netflix on my 3DS. I had at&t send me a text of my data usage and it still says unlimited. I would imagine if it didn't work they would have changed me over to a 4gb plan.

I did the entitlement check change and use the mobile hotspot which works great. Haven't had at&t say anything to me even when I used custom apn method before.

When I activate wireless tether in the notification bar next to the wireless tether icon the phones says tethering or hotspots active this doesn't mean im paying extra for it does it?

No the built-in app does not automagically sign you up for a tethering plan.
Absolute_Zero thanks
wireless tether for root?
Is there any version of the wireless tether for root app that works with aosp? I know that cm7 roms have their built-in wireless tethering but it's not as feature rich

Wireless Tether 2.0.7 works perfectly on 3G or 4G. I use it on my ROM everyday.

Correct....you are wrong. There is a Tethering & Hotspot section for USB or wifi tethering under Wireless & Networks (also available via the notification power widget if added).
As DroidTh3ory said, there are versions of Wireless Tether that work as well if you want some of it's features like mac filtering and such.
Ah I apologize for my ignorance I thought that was Verizons tethering

I've tried a few versions on the 627 radio. Used to work on one of your sense roms Theory but this one shows no connectivity. The built in hotspot icon always shows up when I turn wireless tether for root on, is that normal?

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!
