Those of you who have the wonderful Photon 4g with sprint might not want to pay for the Mobile Hotspot. After a long time fiddling with settings and trying every method I could find online, nothing worked, until now!
Needed:
Rooted photon
Wifi tether 3.1 beta 6
Tasker
Summary:
turn 3g data off, re-enable wimax, restart phone, configure wifi tether, wifi tether, walaha.
Steps:
Open Tasker (free 7 day trial, not gonna link a cracked version but they may be out there )
Tap the green "+" symbol. Name it anything.
Select "State". Select "Net". Select "Mobile Network". Check 2G and 3G. Click the green check.
Select "New Task". Name it anything.
Click the blue "+".
Select "Net".
Select "Mobile Data" (the one on the left)
Set it to "Off". Click the green check. Click the next green check.
Click the green "+" to make another profile. Name it anything.
Select "State". Select "Net". Select "Mobile Network". Check 4g. Click the green check.
Select "New Task". Name it anything.
Click the blue "+".
Select "Net". Click "WiMax". Set "On". Click the green check.
Now click on the first profile you made (The one that toggles 3g off)
Click the button with the name of the task you made in that profile. Click "Edit". Click the play media looking button to the right of the green check and red x.
Restart phone.
Run Wifi Tether. Set it up as so:
Samsung Galaxy S
Netd(master)
Wifi Encryption
MSS clamping: on
Routing fix: on
Tether!
NOTE: if after you restart your phone your 3g is still active, make sure your profiles are turned on in Tasker.
Let me know if its not working for you guys, tested it on 2 devices, both worked fine 5-10mbs speed.
What about the phone going to idle on 4G ???
I think what you are saying, if you are just turning off 3g, you can do it with widgetsoid 2.x. Just presenting another option that isn't a trial.
Good find.

Yes but this method lets you use the 4g tethering over wireless without ad hoc, without being knocked off.
Hmm... ok, I did all of that with tasker, and restarted - but 3G is still on. Profiles are also on in tasker.
I mean, I think I get the same end result - I disable 3G, and enable Wimax... but still, it'd be nice to do it with Tasker!
OK - just retried all steps.
I restart the phone, and 4G is active. When I run Wifi Tether, the Sprint Hotspot app also starts up, I get a "Mobile IP response error" and then 4G breaks and 3G comes back on... any idea what I'm doing incorrect?
thanks a lot
I followed all the above steps and it works on 4g perfectly. Although I think I may have a different version of the app, some steps are slightly different I was still able to figure it out. I've been trying to use wifi tether on 4g all along and finally it works like a champ. Thanks!!!
what version of tasker u using? thanks in advance...
Tasker not active
I have the profiles created, rebooted and profiles still there! However, pull down bar indicates that there are no active Tasker profiles...and hence, wifi not working...suggestions?
How many of these steps have to be performed each time you want to tether? I am starting to miss my Evo Shift... open the app and go. Good thing I don't tether too often. Thanks for a workaround for now.
Not working.
I was getting this message before and still am it says
"What the hell!! Your phone is taking back control of the wifi-interface. Immediate tethering shutdown!!"
weird, just weird
there is a much simpler method to get reliable/fast 4g tethering. Use the data enabler widget and simply turn off 3g data by pressing the widget icon before starting wifi tether. As long as you have a 4g signal, you're off and running (using the tethering app settings recommended above). No need to reboot phone, set up profiles etc...

Same here. I've also noticed that Wireless Tether is no longer visible in the Market....
EDIT: Called Sprint, It's a change to their Terms Of Service. They now block Wifi Tether so the Auto-Start of Mobile Hotspot is all them. Between the Filtering and now this, I've about had it with them.

Soooo, let me get this straight....you've had it with them blocking a service that you know darn well your suppose to pay extra for that your using for free??? I'm lost here (and dont get me wrong, I dont think any carrier should charge for tethering)
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
No, I understand that they dont want it. A simple pop up would do, but blocking 3rd party stuff bothers me. Its more the principle that they WOULD block it.
I don't know why you guys are going about this hard way...
Well there are different options on how to approach this, and it depends on which version of WirelessTether you are using. If you are using 2.0.7, your options are limited, but the 3.0 beta's are where the availability opens up on how many [Device-Profiles] you can choose from. You can reduce your output power to save battery with the older versions, but not the new ones for some reason.
Because Sprint has blocked you from downloading them, you have to sideload them. You can download it directly from google at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ (Newest is Beta 11)
Here's what you do:
Open up WirelessTether
Hit the *Menu* button and press Settings.
Under [Device Profile], select Google NexusOne (This is the most common profile for this mode, I've tried different ones. Most of them work)
Under [Setup Method], select Netd (master)
(If you wish to do so, select encryption and channel options.)
Scroll down and check [MSS Clamping]
Then when you press back and activate tethering, WT will hack and take over your stock Mobile Hotspot app and you will be broadcasting an Infrastructure network rather than an ADHoc one.
It is common to see "Mobile IP Response error" over and over again until your Photon finally handshakes itself into the network. Ignore it. Shouldn't take more than a minute if it doesn't do it on the first try.
Now you don't have to download any trial apps and turn this and that off... blah blah blah. You can also setup a widget to turn off tethering using this method.

A plain and simple, yes.
Got this Rom running last night and I see that it is based on Cleanrom 2.1 which mentions that Wifi Tether was added.
I'm not sure if its supposed to work or was stripped on De-Sensed but whenever I try to turn it on it just grays out and I can't do anything with it. This is the wifi tethering settings in the mobile networks options... I don't see a specific app anywhere. No place for routing or the galaxy nexus options listed in the Cleanrom thread either.
Is this normal or is something wrong?

You'd need to download the wifi-tether app from code.google.com and I believe the version used in CR2.1 is 3.1 beta11. I don't know if Scott did anything else to the app or not. But grab the app, use the settings...should work..??
Keep in mind, there are settings that work good.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) profile and setup Netd seems to make WiFi tether app function great.
Sent from my Rezound running CleanRom 2.1 ICS.
To the OP...Wireless Tether is not a system app. The built-in tethering does not work.
Do this:

When you install it go to settings and change the device to Galaxy Nexus LTE and enable "Routing Fix".
I have heard setting up an a password for encryption will not allow this to work so using "access control" works for the time being to restrict who can access the network generated by your phone.
EDIT: THIS thread may be more help to you.

As others has stated get the wireless tether app and hit the menu button after you open the tether app go into settings and change device to galaxy nexus and also check the routing fix and you should be good to go,I'm useing it on a stock rooted rom and it works great.
What's weird, is I can't get my xp machine to connect at all. All my other devices work just fine, but I can't figure out what's going on with my laptop and why it won't connect to wifi tether, as it connects just fine to other wireless networks.
I've tried everything too, but to no avail, any have any ideas?
I have unlocked, rooted, flashed the CleanROM ICSE 3.6 from scrosler, and have also been able to overclock my Rezound with SebastianFM's kernel. Everything is working great. The only problem is that I can't get the Mobile Hotspot to work; both the built-in VZW app and the WiFi Tether app that was integrated into the ROM fail to emit a wifi signal for my laptop.
On the VZW Mobile Hotspot app, when I tick the checkbox to turn it on, it'll say "processing..." for about 20 seconds and then un-tick the check mark.
On the Wireless Tether app, I am able to turn it on but once started, a message pops up saying "Tethering started with errors! Please check show log."
I had this same problem a couple months ago when I temp rooted my phone, but a hard reset and un-root did the trick and MHS was working again. However, this is a perm root and flash, so I can't use the same resolution. A hard reset isn't working.
I have the $30 Mobile Hotspot feature added to my plan, so actually paying for it isn't the problem. I'd actually prefer the VZW app to work. Can anybody help me out?
edit: Just saw some threads from people who have already posted this question. Searched the Development forum but didn't think to search here! Sorry!

The trick with the Wireless Tether app is to make sure that you have the settings correct. You may have found this answer already else where but here it is again.
You need to set the Device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)
Change Setup-Method to Netd (master)
Check the Routing Fix box
The rest of the settings are up to you.
These settings are described in the developer's first post under the Wireless Tether section found here.
I ran across those settings last night. They did help, as my laptop was able to detect AndroidTether and there were no errors on Wifi Tether on my phone. However, when trying to connect, it gets stuck at Limited Access or No Network Access on my laptop. I tried changing properties on the laptop from security type to encryption type, but didn't seem to help.
Any advice? Like I said, I really do not mind paying $30 for the capability for the Mobile Hotspot, I just need it working again for school! Something about rooting the Rezound blocks the capability of the tick box staying checked after processing.
I'm gonna try to flash another ICS Rom and see if it helps. I'll update afterwards.
EDIT: Got it working by reflashing without the overclock kernel!
Hey guys, I have searched and tried alot of apps and setting to get wifi tethering with my phone. I am rooted, VIPERDNA ROM, S-OFF, and all the apps i use either crash or they try to use the stock tethering which states i need to buy the service plan.
Anyone have anything they use to wifi tether with their DNA? I would really like to do this but I am not going to pay that extra $ for it.
Thanks
P.S. Got a friend to come from his ThunderBolt to the DNA- He loves it!
I use WiFi tether version 3.2-beta2 ***BETA*** with device profile set to Generic ICS/JB (wlan0) & Setup Method to Netd-Ndc (master). Works flawlessy. DNA is stock rom, s-off, rooted. Also enable routing fix. I believe it's the same one in the Play Store. It has the yellow wifi logo (not the green one.)
*EDIT*
With that set-up, I can get other Android phones to run on it.
*EDIT #2*
Not sure when it was updated but now I use version 3.3-beta2-06102013 ***Synergized*** Settings are as follows:
Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Ntd Max Client Cmd: unchecked
Enable WiFi-Encryption: yes
Mac Address Spoof: unchecked
Don't disable Bluetooth: checked
WiFi-driver reload: unchecked
WiFi-driver reload 2:checked
Enable Access-Control: checked
LAN Section
MSS clamping: checked
Routing fix: checked
Miscellaneous Section
Enabled Update-Check
Disabled Wake-Lock
My DNA is completely stock, no custom ROM, no custom kernel, nothing. It is fully S-OFF & rooted. While these particular settings work for me, others (phones, roms, etc...) may need to play around with the settings to find the perfect fit. Best of luck to all.
Thanks alot! Ive used that app before but couldnt get it to work. With your settings i can!

Wireless Tether on CM10.1 4.3.3 Razr XT912?
* This is REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT for me. My Samsunng Galaxy Tab 1 10.2 has a nice big screen for watching HD shows and movies, great for maps and navigation, and fun for games. Not to mention video chats and other things where I need a much bigger screen. I have unlimited data so watching HD Movies all day would not cost a cent, whether it is on the phone or granted access by the Wireless Tether for rooted phones. Verizon charges $20/Mo for that "service" whether you use it or not. I used to subscribe to the service until i got hurt and had to take disabliity. Now I still need it but no way have the money to pay for it. Stock Verizon Blur ROM Android 4.1.2, WiFi tether version 3.2-beta2, worked "right out of the box" Woo Hoo! Somebody answer please, tell me where to ask this question, ask someone else, or anything. It sure is lonely way down in here. Like having a naked swim party at your own mansion, plenty of hot women, live music, drinks, anything you want or need, just ask. And nobody shows up!
I use WiFi tether version 3.2-beta2 ***BETA*** flawlessly with all settings on auto with my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XT012 when I run the stock, rooted ROM. Android 4.1.2. Now I want to get off stock and use a Cyanogen ROM. I cannot use 10.2 because Data is not supported for this phone in that ROM. But CM10.1 works fine, I get data (4G) and of course my phone works. But I have yet to get wireless tether to work at all on this ROM. I tried the settings that were suggested, it shows up as running, but I use a tablet with WiFi Manager on it. It has an auto-updating radar screen on it. When I turn on tether, it shows up right away, on the correct channel, with the correct SSID (Network Name). But in this CM 10.1 ROM, it does not work at all. All wifi tethers I have tried so far do not work on this ROM. Check screenshots for ROM info.
Man I got to go to bed, just fell asleep at the keyboard for a few seconds and found I had typed in 736 w characters. Time for bed, 'night y'all!
Anybody get Wireless Tether for rooted phones to work on this ROM?

As for coolpad's, I have no experience with those. I only have HTC's: Droid Incredible & Droid DNA. Try changing the rom settings within tether.

Get the new updated version & use the settings in my recently edited post. If that doesn't work, change the Device Profile &/or Setup Method settings. Best of luck.
I used to use the Google code wifi tether, but the settings are a pain in the ass. I just bought FoxFi and have no problems at all now. It has worked flawlessly on several devices now.

I tried & tried as well, looking up apps, going to app store, if they worked then Sprint would have already had app store tell my my phone it was not compatible. Plus the large amount of just BOGUS apps on playstore.
This hotspot on my phone, the one the laptop is hooked to right now is as fast or faster than my router on home network! You have to choose either HOME or WORK before windows 7 will map it out. Saw no internet connectivity past my named hotspot but after restarting the access to hotspot (& hotspot) a couple times it popped up on phone, red windows shield icon with x and had to okay it in the dropdown before it hooked up and worked.
Thanks for this!!!

WIFI TETHER ROUTER WORKS SPRINT LG G3 (LS990) Android 5.0.1 Kernal 3.4.0 stock rooted
This app is a must for me. It is the only way for me to have internet in my house or away from home. I use a lot of data so the built in tether option from sprint is not acceptable. I will cap out in 2 days. This app disguises the tether as mobile data and allows me to tether without limits. I pay them $150 a month for 1 line. It is justified.
So far so good but unless I can keep it up for an hour or more im still testing.
Turns out this is touched on in the devs Q&A section.
the post is referencing a separate issue regarding a constant popup but dev says it fixes the disconnect problem
Q: I have Lollipop Sprint Device, the connection is dropped after a few minutes
disable your power saving if enabled
select in app settings "HostApd Survival"
uncheck "Sleep Mode" and disable Power Saving / Energy Saving on your device
disable this service "settings>mobile networks>connections optimizer"
Read this post in XDA Developers Forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...0&postcount=14
I have disabled power saving mode ...just in case
I cannot enable Host Apd Survival
there is no Sleep Mode option other than prevent standby
I have disabled the Connections Optimizer
also per that linked XDA post i have
Deleted the following:
/carrier/itson
/carrier/itson_enabled
/system/vendor/itson
/system/priv-app/<anything with "itson" in its name>

prevent standby
thats it
So after lots of headache I have managed to get this to work with these settings.
interface wlan0
method 2
prevent standby (checked)
everything else unchecked
do not add ,dun to your apn
if you did like me....remove it. doesn't seem to help. just adds the default tether option.

I will cap out in 2 days. This app disguises the tether as mobile data and allows me to tether without limits. I pay them $150 a month for 1 line. It is justified.
So after lots of headache I have managed to get this to work with these settings.
interface wlan0
method 2
prevent standby (checked)
everything else unchecked
do not add ,dun to your apn
if you did like me....remove it. doesnt seem to help

after working for a good 15 minutes, the wifi signal just disappears from my computers view. This was the problem I had when the ,dun was added to the apn. Before I would only get a min or two out of it before it disappears.
Wifi Tether Router is still running showing that it is broadcasting, but something keeps turning off the signal. I need help figuring out what is causing this or how i can find out. If I can figure out how to keep it on the problem is fixed because otherwise it works ...just not for long....also I have all of the advanced wifi options turned off. also I have connections optimizer frozen with titanium backup

So far so good but unless I can keep it up for an hour or more im still testing.
turns out this is touched on in the devs Q&A section.
the post is referencing a separate issue regarding a constant popup but dev says it fixes the disconnect problem
Q: I have Lollipop Sprint Device, the connection is dropped after a few minutes
disable your power saving if enabled
select in app settings "HostApd Survival"
uncheck "Sleep Mode" and disable Power Saving / Energy Saving on your device
disable this service "settings>mobile networks>connections optimizer"

I have disabled power saving mode ...just in case
I cannot enable Host Apd Survival
there is no Sleep Mode option other than prevent standby
I have disabled the Connections Optimizer
also per that linked XDA post i have
Deleted the following:
/carrier/itson
/carrier/itson_enabled
/system/vendor/itson
/system/priv-app/<anything with "itson" in its name>
WIFI TETHER SETTINGS:
interface wlan0
method 2
prevent standby
thats it
so far so good I already hit the 5Gb data limit on the built in tether and this is still working. Data transmitting. Data receiving. Best of all it is staying on.
Be sure to reboot your device after you configure Wifi Tether as well as after deleting the files and or freezing apps.
I will update if something goes wrong.
Ultimately I believe the issue was a mixture between the itson files and the connection optimizer
Almost 2 months have passed and still going strong.....this method works
Click show content in the first message and that is the final solution. The stuff in red.

using a root browser.
Also mine just broke again after I updated supersu. Had to roll back the supersu app to get wifi tether router to work.
