Don't know this has been noticed or mentioned before but it looks Sprint may have forced Google's hand & had them remove all of the tethering apps. I just rooted a friend's Evo Shift for him & noticed none of the tether apps were on the Market. Then checked from my phone & got this:

I noticed them slowly doing this... Best thing to use is Market Enabler for root users, or download the apk from another site.
Trying to be as helpful as I can.
didn't get either of those messages when i looked for them.
either way, i back up all my apps for this very reason. you never know when one of them won't be available anymore.
i have about 4 different mp3 dl's on my 3d right now... none of which are available on the market anymore. lol

Barnacle also hosts the APK on their website
Hopefully it means we keep unlimited data on phones for another year or two.
Just did a search some popped up but get WiFi tether with yellow WiFi symbol it allows ps3 network to work I forget if its adhoc or other.
HTC EVO 3D rooted
So what?
All the ROMs you can install for the Evo 3D include either wifi tether and/or unlocked hotspot, anyways.

I wonder if Sprint is hoping that root users buy their expensive tethering plan or stop using illegal tethering methods and free up some network traffic. I doubt either will happen.

tethering apps gone from Android Market?
Something is lost in the translation of that story, or it's totally made up.
Lookup "Wireless Tether for Root Users" on the Android Market. It's there
along with a few others. Frankly, I don't see much change from over a month ago. Pretty much the same variety of tethering apps as before.
Author's webpage for the app I mentioned is still on code dot google dot com.
Look up "android-wifi-tether" on that website for the specific page.
It's the one I downloaded over a month ago and it's still there today.
Works great.
Hmmm...have to check out that Hotspot hack. Sounds very interesting and possibly a cleaner way to achieve the same thing.
None of the tethering apps are still in the market for me. Nothing shows up when I search for them.

Won't do it with Grandfathered Unlimited Data plans... anyway, by looking at data usage they can see if you are tethering or not no matter what app you use to do it. LOL.

Some people are getting Text Messages from T-Mobile stating that they have "some how" picked up that they are tethering via the Google Code, and the native applications and are asking for $15 fee for doing it. there is a thread floating around here somewhere on it.

even though the native Application has a WEP code input option. the Wi-FiTether.apk has a MAC address white listing option along with encryption options so it will only allow certain devices to connect to yours. which i really like. I've been driving down the highway doing 65mph and had people try to connect to my wi-fi that i am letting my wife use for her netbook.
MAC filtering will not allow them to get to the web....
thats my reason for wanting it.
I just use the one built into my phone, they don't charge me and it works great...
Does anyone have the APK of the one that came with the phone? I'm not on stock rom and would like to try the original one
Well in all regards it's a good thing I searched on this subject before I posted anything. In any case does this app let you limit your bandwidth when using it as a wi-fi hotspot? or is there any app that will let me limit my speeds when using the wi-fi?

It isn't possible to put the changed files in place, but i can't remember which dev (either leoisright or xhausx) said the edited tether is ready to be pushed to the system as soon as we do get root.
Another thing I've heard though is that usb tether works without having to pay (and without unlock/root). I heard that the pay service is just for the wireless tether. I haven't verified but let me know if that works for you.

I randomly found a USB tether app on the Market called "Klink" and it seems to cap your bandwidth to 1 MBit.. peaking at 2MBit at highest. If you need tethering now I'd suggest PDANet or EasyTether. I've not tested PDANet on the 3vo yet, but I'd bet it'd work fine. It's not worth my $15 though....

Try to connect and see what it says, if they are going to charge you they have to tell you first. You will get a message similar to : You have not signed up for this service, to add it to your account call or go online today.
If you don't get the message than Sprint might be offering free for a limited time to get you hooked on it. If we don't get root, they may have a lot of new tether customers.

I'm switching from the Nexus S and found out last night that the Nexus S lets you use the Gingerbread wireless tether for free (for now at least) because they didn't find a way to block it from working.
Is this the same thing on the EVO 3D?
I only saw the Sprint Hotspot in settings which doesn't work without subbing obviously. So I'm guessing they removed it or I am missing where it is.
The nexus s is a "pure Google" phone which means sprint didnt/wasn't aloud(?) change anything in the android OS. That's why wireless tether is still there for free in the nexus s. The EVO 3d however has alll of sprint's bloat etc., including a locked WiFi hotspot.

Is there some sort of wi-fi emulator out there? Amazon app of the day won't let me download some of the apps, but 4G is twice as fast as my wi-fi connection at home.
Hello, and welcome to XDA
I would love to help answer your question, however your post is somewhat ambiguous.
If you could, please indicate in more detail what the particular problem is.
I am going to take a leap here and assume that your problem is that wireless tether sets up an ad-hoc network instead of a regular wifi network.
however if this is not the case, then please let me know. I will do the best I can to help you.
Hmm I was wondering the same thing. His problem isn't anything to do with teather. It's that Amazon will have free apps that say they require a WiFi connection on phone to download do to there size.
If your in an area where you can't connect to a WiFi network Amazon will not let you download. Even if your on 4g for some reason the server will only allow a WiFi connected phone to download which really sucks.
So he wants to be on his 4g connection but fool Amazon's server into thinking he is connected via WiFi

Yeah this is for the Amazon Market. Main problem is that Amazon only allows certain apps to be downloaded over wifi. It sucks and as of yet there is no workaround that I know of. I'm sure some form of proxying would work but that's just as much of a pain as doing any kind of workaround. Amazon just needs to remove this limitation as a whole. I mean really where's the benefit for them to have you use your wifi connection vs your mobile connection.

I just grabbed that using 4g, but I've had that wifi issue before.
EDIT: I guess I didn't get it with 4g. It looked like it had downloaded and said update but then I saw it was hung up and it started after I switched to wifi.
Quite silly at this point, they could just give you the large data download warning that I believe the Market gives you.
If they hear from enough people I would bet they would change it. They started a packing feedback after I returned a hdd 3 times and bought somewhere else due to poor packing. I'm sure they had many complaints.

Okay to answer all your questions.
1. It can access all sites.
2. Yes tmo apparently detect unpaid tethering via the pc useragent on http sites but since they pry into https as it is a secure protocol, they can't detect those but I just used all the various protocols without any issues.
3. Yes it works via the wifi tether app from the play store, it does work via the default tether app on some devices but the newer devices they set it to check your data plan for hotspot, but the wifi tether app gets around that and works fine and no I didn't modify anything, I'm on the stock apn, etc.
Yes I do have the true unlimited plan as well.

Actually everyone is doing crazy downloading, the thing about the wifi tether third party app is that it shows your device as being the user of the data and not it being tethered the way the on board hot spot option would, that's why I opt for the third party app than just a fix, that way they can't block your tethering since it's your device showing up on the network and not a pc, imo.
