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.

I'm having some issues with wireless tether for root users v2.0.7. It activates just fine and I can find it when I search wireless. My devices claim to be connected but tether doesn't show anything as being connected nor can they access anything. Stock rooted with 1.8 kernel.

I believe you have to have the sprint wifi hot spot hack for it to work..not positive though

I dunno on stock rom if you're correct or not...
But version 2.0.7 isnt working for me... now that you mention it. On MikShift, Evervolv, CM7, MIUI GB, none of them.

wireless tether will only tether 4g for some reason or other. To tether 3g, you have to use the hacked sprint app (which just pulling the app will not work... the hack is actually in framework code), which you can find for mik's rom and nfinitefx's

It used to work with 3g, but it must have been an older version, I know it was still working on my wife's phone before I installed nfinitefx's on it tonight.
Huh... I never had it work with 3g on any version, and I tried about two or three versions back. Might have to try again

Attached is v.2.0.5 of the wireless tether app, that is included in Myn's RLS5 for the Evo 4G, I have tested and verified that it works on the Shift.

Thanks I do think that 2.0.5 was working and it broke after the .7 update (for the shift anyways). My wife's was still using the .5 while I had the .7 and mine wouldn't work. But I'm running MikShift on mine and NFX on hers now so I don't need the tether app anymore, for now at least.
I think this can be closed since 2.0.5 fixes the original issue, and my issue is solved since I'm running the hotspot tweak.
Barnacle seems to work fine on stock rom and kernal

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.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
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
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?

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!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
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.

It can definitely be rooted, and can do wifi tethering. However, I'm not sure about tethering over 4g. I only tether when I'm out of 4g area, so never tried hard to get it working while at home.
