I want to set up WiFi tether on my Evo 3d. But I am confused by the many tether apps in the market. So I am looking for suggestions for which app to use and what settings are needed to get it to work.
My phone is HTC unlocked and super user installed on the stock ROM. (I did not do the wire trick to get S-OFF)
Thanks in advance.
What about default built in wifi tether? Did u try that?

I see people mention WiFi tether in the forums all the time. The problem is that there are dozens of apps with that name in the market and I don't know which one to use. If you could post a link or give the developers name it would really help.

My bad I didn't catch the part about built in app before. No I didn't use that one. I am on Sprint and it requires you to sign up for there monthly add on fee to use that feature.
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.

Got it to work finally using "WiFi Tether for Root Users" out of the market. I think it's the same app you describe. It has the same yellow wifi icon you describe.
Wifi Tether has always been the best for me.

Is there is a USB tether that works with the Evo 3D? I've been looking for one and really need one since only WiFi is working at my house and only one computer has a WiFi chip.
Thanks

Confused at your post.
So what exactly are you trying to do?
You have wifi at home and you wanna connect your EVO 3D through your pc to get Internet on your phone?
Or do you wanna share your phone's connection to your pc?

Lmao, or the built in setting I always forget about. In settings/wireless & networks/USB.....

I tried 3 apps and none worked. If you are familiar with anything about sprint, it will give you an error when you try USB tethering unless you buy the $30 per month tethering.

I thought that was only for wireless tether, but I guess it makes sense they would lock both down. If you're rooted you could see if the ROMs which have unlocked WIFI tether/hotspot also have unlocked USB.
As for the apps, I know FOR A FACT that both "pdanet" and "easytether" work. IIRC both require a fee to get full access, so if it's a money issue you could ask about it in a ROM thread, maybe a dev could hack it for you.
I used pdanet app from the market on unrooted phone and it worked like a charm. Check it out.

I do know one ROM with it hacked. I asked the developer if I could get the USB/WiFi tether hacked as a flashable zip but I am awaiting a response.
thought easytether worked
Im running pdanet.
Would anybody be interested in a stockish ROM, with many minor modifications that keep it running fast, smooth, great on the battery, and doesn't over heat? On top of that doesn't lag, lock up, or reboot It's self.

I know that is something many want, but I won't put it in my ROM, as I'm not looking for any trouble since Sprint is now looking into tethering more. I wouldn't mind helping you get it though.

I dont see a difference in the hack and almost every rom has the tether app built in.

Try using Barnacle? That's the only one that worked for me on stock, and cracked hotspot worked on another rom.
OP, I'd love a rom like that, honestly. I need better battery life by far, or at least some way to undervolt with hboot 1.50.
WiFi tether beta 6 works perfect.

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.

I remember this used to be an issue, but doesn't happen to me on the newest version.

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!

+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.

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. ?

And how would I go about editting services.jar? It isn't text edition friendly like build.prop.
