Using Joelz ICS ROM, the goal is to get reverse tethering working, so that a wifi only (no contract) EVO 3D will receive internet from another internet enabled Bluetooth phone. Joelz ROM has almost everything needed to get DUN working: pppd, rfcomm, and sdptool. The only thing missing is the chat binary?
Using lophyte's guide, here, should provide all that is needed to build the missing component, the Chat binary. Or you could try using the Chat Binary I compiled using ppp 2.4.3 (please do consider I'm still a newbie, so I'm not sure if it's 100%). vampirexhunter's useful guide will provide what's needed to create the connection: here.
Bluetooth DUN tethering should work for ATT, Verizon, Tmobile, etc. If you have a CDMA/GSM internet enable bluetooth phone, you should be able to tether your EVO 3D to it. From what I've read, these providers should be easier to connect to by getting the correct APN string. So far, I've connected my EVO 3D to a Boost Mobile iDEN phone over a bluetooth connection for 1 minute, but there is no internet, and the connection disconnects soon afterwards. For my issue, I believe Boost Mobile has a special chat script to enable the DUN on their phones?
If you give this a try, please post your provider, phone model, status. Attach peer file, chat script
Provider: Boost Mobile
Phone Mode: Motorola i576
Status: Not working
tl;dr Goal, get bluetooth DUN working for ICS ROM. Provide internet connection for EVO 3D through other phone that has internet. Connect using bluetooth DUN. You try?

Hi,
I have read all the posts regarding the inability of ICS on the prime to access ad-hoc networks. I have tried all those 3rd party software (Barnacle, Wifi Tether beta 3.11 - tried to select different phones, pdanet on my Moto Atrix and mywi on a jailbroken Iphone 3GS) and my TP just does not see the ad-hoc network. There is a work around to modify wpa_supplicant (in one of the posts), but don't want my TP to be rooted. I think all these is happening due to ICS since on Honeycomb there was no problem. One of the posts indicated that ICS disables ad-hoc network since they are using WIFI Direct and don't know how that is implemented or used with the TP and able to connect to wifi devices (maybe like phone running a wifi tethering software, don't know)
Other people got it to work and for me, for whatever reason just does not connect my TP.
Another problem I have, is when I use bluetooth with my Atrix, it is indicated paired but not connected and whatever I do, when I click on the phone, the only option I have is rename or unpair, and my suspicion is, my bluetooth never connects to my phone. I tried my bluetooth headset and is connected properly (indicates media and phone connected) and I can hear my music play on my TP. Never works between my phone and TP.
If anybody is kind enough to share their thoughts or even a fix for this, would gladly appreciate it.
Thank you.
I fixed mine by using a custom ROM for my phone with a baked in Wi-Fi tether ie Sprint hotspot or Verizon's hotspots as these work just fine with tether.
I had success with the Open Garden Wifi Tethering app (available on the Android Market).
I have a Thunderbolt and have used Barnacle and Wifi Tether in the past for tethering to my laptop, but neither of these Apps worked with the Prime.
Tether
I also have the TP and a Samsung Intercept vm rooted,wifi tether and Barnacle both don't show up.
Why is this so difficult?
Just installed Open Garden, willsee when my TP gets back from repair (waiting on part! Hope itz a new radio!) Sent it in for weak wifi
theres already been a 20some page thread about this. ICS doesnt have a method to see ad hoc networks. some phones can broadcast in infrastructure, some cannot. Me personally, upgrading to ICS on my Verizon Rezound seems to have fixed its ability to broadcast in infrastructure, and where i was screwed before I am no longer.
I haven't tried adhoc, but it works fine if I turn the wifi hotspot on.
I'm using a custom ICS rom on a T mobile HTC Sensation.
If you have read all those threads - then there is no need to start another one.
Hi All.
I can't get the Wi-Fi hotspot to work on my unlocked Evo 3D, I am on Orange UK network?
I enable it, setup the connection on my netbook and it connects, but I can't get any internet access on netbook? I have tried messing around with all the settings on the Evo 3D, and even made the hotspot unsecure to try to make it work but with no luck. I have also tried a variety of devices and they all pickup the hotspot from the Evo 3D and connect, but none of these devices connects to the internet?
Anyone else had this problem? I even tried hard resets, and even flashing the RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.8_Radio_10.59.9020.00_10.15.9020.06_M_release_219793_signed still no luck?

Is this the stock Rom you got with ur phone? You van try re adding the apn manually in internet settings but my cause was I needed to reflash my stock radio then it worked however you would just download WiFi tether as this works pretty much guaranteed

When I find a phone that WiFi tether doesn't work on I try downgrading the WiFi APK until I find one that works. If you search Google Code for WiFI Tether there will be 10-20 revisions. There is one down near the bottom that works well when others don't. But one thing I've noticed with the older versions is that some android devices like tablets (FIRE) will not see the Android Tether in their network.
Try Barnacle WiFi Tether it also works when WiFi Tether doesn't, sometimes. You may or may not be able to get this from market (PLAY) still so if you cant find it I will send it to you. Let me know.
Here's a link to a WiFi tether thread

I had a similar problem getting the wifi tether to work. I could get barnacle to work but connection speed was extremely slow. So now here is what worked for me. ( you need to be rooted for this)
this is the link for the wifi tether
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
Also after installation of the apk, I had to change these settings:
device profile to EVO3D
enable MSS clamping
enable Routing fix
Change preferred and alternate DNS from google's DNS to your carriers DNS
Hope this helps!
Please remember to thank those who help you

What on earth?
On your Sprint Evo 3D, you're trying to use
- Clear WiMax 4G (not Sprint's)
- on the Boost Mobile network
- with a Comcast modem
- to play video games
This makes absolutely no sense -- slow down, son! What exactly are you trying to do here?
If you mean you just want to get your 4G hotspot working (regardless of provider), you obviously shouldn't use the built in Sprint hotspot (even the hacked one). You're going to have to screw around with Wifi Tether for Root (google it) or Barnacle, potentially in ad-hoc mode. Some tools (including the official hotspot tool) and some tethering modes pretty much tell the WiMax tower to assign a new IP to the broadcast, effectively giving your computer or laptop a distinct IP from the phone. This is why they don't work, and it's also how the company finds out. Clear probably sees this secondary IP request produced by the tethering app, notes that it isn't the IP configuration you set up with them (or paid for), and blocks your service.
Your solution? Get the phone working again, then use a different form of tethering or a different mode. Ad-hoc mode (Barnacle) and wired tether (PDANet) are practically guaranteed to work, unless Clear has a way of sniffing packets for routing protocols.

So what im running is HTC evo 3d on Boost Mobile and i added a Clear account its fast but when i tether it wont let me gives the error ? ive read your suggestions/instructions and im a bit lost so any more help you can provide is cool! PLEASE ADVISE! thanks
just use barnicle tether or wifi tether
they work fine with phones running on clear.
I know thats not a seamless integration but you can try custom roms as well....
I usually just use wifi tether it seems to be better for "boosted" phones
esp the ones i get on clear

well thanks for the help but i am running custom thats all ill run! im on Steal25 now and ive used the android tether before and it just seems not to like me ive always had better success with the hacked sprint hotspot! but i am desperate as if i cant get it fixed then its no purpose to have the clear account as i got comcast at home but when on the go i'm N THE NEED FOR SPEED! also as far as Barnacles it's always worked great but i guess i forgot about it Either Way i am glad for the responses and input to this problem
PS
can you tell me what you connected your phone to clear as ??? mine is labeled a intel handheld device ? and when i hit the page it says something about INTEL??? please advise
The Sprint WiFi tether does not work with 4G (clear). You'll need to use WiFi tether or the others. Wi-Fi tether works great and it's free. Check the boxes that say MSS clamping and routing fix (something like that).

I have searched through this forum, and have not yet found a thread pertaining to this issue. I am not a developer, just an android enthusiast, so i do not have a clue why, but the build.prop tether tweak does not seem to be working on some evo lte devices (including mine). The tether app would show connected, but with no internet access to PCs, laptops, anything not-android it seems. I will shed some light on how I fixed this issue, to hopefully help others in this forum who were most likely just as mind boggled as I was.
I downloaded foxfi from foxfi.com/bin since Sprint took it off of the market.
However, they did not take the foxfi addon off of the market, so I downloaded that as well.
Run foxfi, go to settings, and enable proxy. Foxfi will give you a proxy IP.
Connect to the network from your PC.
(I use Firefox, so I am unable to give specific browser instructions here)
Go to advanced network settings in your browser, and change the automatic proxy to manual, and type in the IP foxfi gives.
Wa-la! Hope this helps, if anyone has any questions, I will help as best as I can!
IN ADDITION: I have tried every other possible mod/app/setting that I have found on these forums. I do not know if Sprint hotfixed the phone to change the code of tethering (like i said, not a developer), because I bought my EVO LTE the last week in June. I will again clarify for the idiots below that cannot seem to read correctly, this is for those that have tried build.prop mod and/or wifi tether with generic ICS setting, fiddling with routing/MSS options and getting "connected with limited access", "no internet connection", or "connected" but still no web browsing capability to their PCs. If I am the only one out there with this problem, it would be my luck.
Happy tethering!
Use wireless tether from the market

googles wifi tether works fine, just set it to generic ICS
Thanks guys. I was making this harder than it needed to be too. Feel like a noob.
It doesn't matter, for some people, WiFi tether on any setting does not work, sprint did something to their network, I spent hours trying to figure it out. It would connect to other android devices, but would give no net connection to PCs

I do not have a tethering plan and I know about creating a new APN with the epc, but when I go into my Mobile Hotspot to do the tethering to my iPad, it says Error under the words Mobile Hotspot after I turn it on (I can still connect to the Internet on my phone with this error message)
My iPad can see my phones tethering connection under the WiFi connection choices and my phone shows me as being a connected User under users. I just cannot actually get on the Internet on my ipad with the Mobile Hotspot tether. I can get in the Internet still on my phone using the new APN.
Am I doing something wrong or is there another work around or way to tether FREE to my iPad using my phones Internet?
(I also tried a third party app called FoxFi and same thing happens where my iPad sees it as a connection access point but I cannot actually get on the Internet at all)
(Also what is Bluetooth Tethering?)
TIA
okay i require some information in order to help you.. first question, what carrier are you using? and what type of data plan do you have? is your phone rooted (i'm assuming your using the amaze since your in the amaze Q&A section..? and if you are running a custom rom what rom are you running? or if your stock which app are you using for this wireless tethering ?
