My mother in law just purchased this phone mainly to use as a mobile hot spot but windows keeps saying it is unable to connect. We have tried it with other devices(worked fine) and with the firewall off but still will not connect with the computer. Any suggestions.

well the security settings on the computer should be the same as the phone or vice verse, wpa on phone should be wpa on computer, etc. and password or security code should match
also, did you run diagnostics, to test connections or repair
The diagnostic said unable to determine or fix error. It only won't connect for that phone, all others we have tried work fine. Already replaced it once due to this issue.

It's your security settings and not phone. Set it to Wep 128 and should work for you.
If your computer connects to other phones' hotspots with the same security settings, then there might be a problem with this phone. You can try clearing the hotspot app's data to reset any settings you may have changed, but if that still doesn't work, I suggest getting a replacement phone. Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
Fixed the problem by getting rid of HTC phone!

Tethering works perfectly for me on ARHD 10.2 (which is what I'm guessing you meant to type). Just go to settings, hit more,mobile network shareing, then go into portable wifi hotspot settings, name your hotspot and PW, then hit the checkbox. I had no problem.
Just curious, when you did your install with AROMA, did you hit AT&T, or international?

I chose AT&T. But I was just asking for a way to get the hotspot free. I haven't tried because I don't want extra changes, but if you telling me that im good then I'll try

There is NO guide for ADHD 10.2 its an international rom which means there is NO AT&T stuff blocking use of tether, you must be doing something WAY wrong.

I've tethered multiple times in the past, and have never had AT&T bring up the issue. Just don't abuse it.

Well I kinda abuse it. I use sometimes 50gb in a month. But that's because I'm at a friend's during the weekend and the only thing to use is either tether or satilite internet lol

No.... Using the "phone" apn yes, at 5GB of usage I get throttled down to .047mbps down.
Then I just switch over to the wap.cingular APN and BAM pulling 6-10mbps down on H+/3G. No throttling here..
This thread is a bit confusing to me.
Are you guys saying AT&T charges extra for tethering?
ATT charges $$$ for a seperate data plan which lets you tether Internet, which is also limited to about 5gb or 3gb, not too sure. If you use tethering on a regular phone (stock rom with bloatware- fresh from the store), they would probably charge you for tethering because of the detection apk they put in there.
The way to bypass this is to use a custom rom, Internet tethering should work on it, maybe you could reflash/ reset the phone (all the settings and whatnot) maybe try a different rom?
Also, I diddnt know you could bypass ATT throttle, could you post all the complete APN settings to do that?
Cheers,
OK, please forgive me for being slow. You only save money if you're tethering from a phone with unlimited data plan, right? If you're on a limited plan, it doesn't matter and AT&T should not charge you extra, right?

If you go over the limit on a limited plan, they charge you extra $$$. I think it is $20 for 1 more GB.
If you are detected tethering on a stock ATT phone, they will probably charge you for tethering plan
If you are on unlimited data, you may lose it (plan) if you are detected tethering (stock phone),
if you go over limit 5GB for 4g LTE phone they will just throttle you.
Undetected tethering/ Custom ROM with removed att protection = only worry about going over the limit

Ask other people it doesn't change anything. It allows you to use native tethering to use a custom Rom but that's it doesn't change anything else

You can tether on the stock Rom too... It doesn't make your data issage look any different

I agree. The only thing Att or carriers look at is the amount of data being used periodically or the mac/ip address. Carriers have the ability to tell the difference from our phone using data or tethering, especially if data patterns changes.

Heck I use a lot of data tether and through phone anywhere between 5gb and 50

Out of curiosity...
So, I came from a Galaxy Nexus to the Evo LTE. On my GNex, it had one 32GB slab of storage, and it all mounted as one device (MTP Style). The Evo obviously does not (USB Mass Storage Style). Is there a way to break this down so that it behaves similar to the Nexus?
Win7 will recognize internal as mtp, is my understanding. Add on tools are necessary to mount ext SD. Hope that helps at all.

Good news! Easy fix. Go to settings->more->developer options->make sure show all ANRs is checked. Wife Hotspot should now work properly.

This was the funniest thing I have seen today!
On a more serious note, when i am using WiFi hotspot on the stock VZW 4.3 or HyperDrive 15 ROMs, I can get other Android devices to connect and pass packets through the phone. When I try to connect a Win 7 x64 computer, I get the computer saying the WiFi side of the handshake is connected. However, the phone's connected devices list doesn't show the Win7 computer, nor does the WAN side pass packets over to the PC.
I did the "Enable all ANR" trick, but that didn't resolve it. Anyone else seen this selective problem? I am thinking that it might be the Windows side drivers.
