So I rooted my sister's Epic 4G touch phone and then flashed this mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394371
I was able to get 4G speed through the Sprint HotSpot on her phone.
I was curious to hear reasons why this would or wouldn't be possible on our EVO 3D's...
I'm not a developer, just an active forum member/flashaholic.
Thanks!
EDIT: I normally use WiFi Tether beta version 6. This post is regarding the stock hotspot app that can currently be modded to work on ONLY 3G.

In the OP of the link, they comment the original mod was done by Necrosan who I consider a good friend and I do recall when he was working on this.
It has been a few months, but I want to recall he was modifying changes in the framework to bypass their security checks.
In theory, sure this could be done on the EVO 3D. In actuality, somebody with great Java/Smali knowledge and the ability to reverse the apk files looking for the security checks would need to go through the EVO 3D.
For starters, HTC and Samsung are setup quite differently in their framwork files. HTC is generally a bit more *complex* due to Sense.
In theory, it would take somebody with the time and know how. In actuality, I haven't seen many people post up about this or request it.
I know Necrosan would enjoy the challenge but I can't recall if he has the EVO 3D device. Might be worthwhile posting a request or politely PM'n the devs to ask if they're able to undertake this project on the EVO 3D.
Hope that helps add a bit of clarity to the process!
I'm not following. I thought we could already get 4G through our hotspot?

+1 for Wifi Tether using 4G. You have to make sure that you check the enable routing fix in the settings in order to get it to work. I never checked the MSS clamping setting and never had any problems. Anyone know what MSS clamping is supposed to do? A quick google search shows that it is a hack that can break a lot of other things. Thoughts?

I've used the WiFi tether beta 6 app to get 4G. I even checked using speedtest.net on my laptop to make sure I actually got 4G speed.
In the OP, I was wondering if the stock Sprint Hotspot could be hacked (like on my sister's epic 4G touch)...it's just one less app to install.
I just like to keep my EVO 3D with the least amount of apps possible. More room to take pictures and video of my little boy.

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.

It will be free to root users soon enough. Let Sprint make a few bucks off the non-rooters.

I've been using the tether app since my hero and personally I don't like that it randomly quits working. I get started with errors to often. Also my wifes nexus had hotspot hacked and I took the ota and broke root (on purpose) and even unrooted the hotspot still works. I'm hoping if I break root somehow in the future I can be saved with that same concept. Other than that I love the tether app because it also has 4g

Because sprint hotspot has. Quick toggle button thingy that you can just press and turn on. Unless someone can get the WiFi tether to work on the quick settings then I prefer the sprint hotspot.

How to enable?
I know with the HTC Jetstream, we had to go in with Root Explorer, mount /system and change some values around in build.prop. Very simple.
I went in to the build.prop file in /system but didn't see where to edit those same values.
I'm hoping to just simply use the stock tether app. I enjoy its UI.
Also, I saw no thread on this so this might be a good thread to have around...
Hmmm. I thought it was an edit in the services.jar. ?

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.

Use a custom rom, most come with "wifi tether" icon is yellow wireless bands. If you don't want to do that look up wifi tether fix. I think it's a zip file you can get and flash using recovery.
