Hey guys, i was helping some friends root their phones (galaxy s II and Evo 3D) and we couldn't get the wireless tethering app to work. I then checked my phone just for kicks and giggles, (Evo 4g which has been rooted and my tethering was previously working) and now it wont tether as well, most the time my computer will see the network but when it connects says it doesn't have internet access. The reason im posting this here is because it seems to be happening to multiple devices now, are providers blocking tethering now? whats the deal anyone having similar issues?
Same here bro, but on my evo and my girls optimus, and we both had tethering working and were using regularly. The only thing I can think of that changed was we upgraded to the newest radios last time we switched roms. Not at all an expert, you think that might have something to do with the problem?

Im not sure, i think it may have something to do with networks getting smarter... ie, sprint verizon att etc. are they maybe blocking it you think? Ive noticed it on all three of those carriers.
Companies like lg are always trying to break/kill root with every update, so I think if they could they probably would. Tethers a powerful tool that everybody wants, and most have now for free. That's alot of lost revenue.

What carriers are you two using? I just tested my tethering on AT&T and it's working fine running unnamed on my SGSII
not working on a recently rooted galaxy s II for att..
not working on a recently rooted htc evo 3d for sprint...
was working for the lognest time just check my htc evo 4g and not working on that now for some reason.
ive tried barnacle and wireless tethering...
Question, are the ones having the issue on rooted stock rom? I know the thunderbolt rooted running stock rom has the tethering stop working. I'm on cm 7 so the carrier apk that checks for that is not in cm7. I still tether my Xoom daily.
If you are just using one of the programs from the market it may be a build issue, On one of my Evos I had an issue that made it so that only one of the programs worked and it only worked in pre-build 010 other then that it never worked until I flashed MikFroyo.
Just for kicks I checked to see if tethering is still working from the unlocked sprint hotspot and it is fine on my hardware 004 evo 4G
Wireless tethering is a b---- to get working on an EVO 3D (CDMA). Barnacle and Wireless Tether worked when I was using my Temp Root, but not with 4G turned on.
I fully rooted, and then I couldn't find the wireless tethering apps in the market any more! I hadn't backed them up with Titanium! However, I found the APKs elsewhere, installed them and still had problems (either they wouldn't work or I couldn't get 4G to work). Long story short, I upgraded Wireless Tether to 2.0.2 and the screen resolution is wrong, but I can do 3G and 4G wireless tethering!
However, the first time I tested my 4G tethering speed, I got only 2Mbps. I tried it again and got 1Mbps. Tested once more and got less than 1Mbps. So it's not perfect.

Moving to Q&A
Hi,
I have my HTC EVO 4G LTE flashed to Virgin mobile. Can send receive calls and text but nothing else.
Anyone have any settings they could point me to? I tried every guide I could find (cant find one specifically for the evo 4g lte for virgin mobile though).
None of the settings CDMA data /mobile ip seem to make a difference.
Thanks.
i need some help i flashed my HTC EvO 4g LTE from sprint to boost mobile, My mobile data worked fine 1st day, im having problems now i cant connect, i know these flashed phone wont run 4g but its will do 3g, however i think the phone tries to get on 4g but cant so its stay stuck kind of on an endless loops i see the 3g icon it flashed but no packets are coming in or out! at least thats what it seems to me, i hope theres a fix cuz i kinda paid for the flashing on my phone, calls and text work fine but thats the only problems i have, thanx in advanced
As the title says. I have a Kyocera Brigadier phone that supports 3G-4G LTE and it connects fine to my home wifi except that it only connects to 3G and not 4G. Under no circumstances does it ever connect to LTE despite everything I and brother have tried. Any tips? Also we are using non-US or EU Sim-cards for the phone which we bought from E-Bay.
Anyone got a solution for this? Thanks in advance.
I using unlocked sprint m9 with bad boyz in metropcs. i get full lte speed but i can't tether from it. I used built in hotspot option but it says that only 1 device can be used while roaming. To add more, I dont actually see the ssid on the laptop or other phone.
I tired wifitetherrouter from playstore but even that dont work with the settings in their hompage..
Anyone with unlocked sprint m9 able to wifi tether?

I just did a quick search of metropcs, and they are owned by T-Mobile and use their network which might be why it doesn't work for you unless roaming. Tether works fine on sprints network.
