Are you trying to download them over wifi? Apparently sprint doesn't like that, try it on 3g

This. Sprint's MMS server is not accessible over the public internet, thus you must download on 3G.
Most Sprint phones will automatically run the data transfer over 3G (without manually turning off/on wifi), not the Epic though.
That said, many of the custom ROMs resolve this issue (including Heroic, which I run).
Thank you sooo much to all that replied.. because that's was the problem. I had my wifi on.. I guess its time to get a custom rom..

Did you remove the streaming proxy sprint setup?
Also 4mb/sec? do you have full 4g bars on your phone I'm guessing?

I've found most sense roms don't have a working 4g hotspot, anyone know why? Tried myns, mikfroyo, sprint lovers, none work.

That just disables the authentication. Sprint Hotspot only supports 3g, for 4g tethering you'll have to use Wireless Tether (or one of the paid apps i.e. PDAnet or EasyTether)

True. But it still beats paying 30 bucks a month. I use both wireless tether and sprint hot spot. I got easy tether pro for my wife. She didn't want to root her phone. With 4g she never looses her connection. With 3g she would.
I deleted the hotspot... there's no need for it imo... I think one app for tethering is enough.

When did this happen? I was able to use sprint hotspot with 4g since november when I got my phone. It would put the little 4g hotpot icon in the status bar. Only since I rooted my phone have I not been able to hotspot 4g.

Even if you activate 4G and turn on tether, you aren't tethering 4G using sprint hotspot, it still uses the 3G network.

Hmm interesting I never really bothered to check the speeds when using it. It showed the 4g tether icon on the top left (4g surrounded by the 2 half circles on each side) so I just assumed it was broadcasting 4g.
I don't think wireless tether is working for me either in getting 4G tethering. I enable the 4G before starting tethering. Start tethering, connect on my other device, speed tops out at around 1.5Mbps, usually around .5Mbps. If I run a speedtest on my phone, get around 4-5Mbps so I am not sure if I am really tethering the wimax, or just the 3G.
slow wifi tethering
Hopefully the wireless tether has fixed the bugs. I tried it back in December and it had awful throughput. I haven't found a good solution for doing wireless tether for 4g. Kinda sucks.
still looking for an fix too
I get the same results, tethering will have .30 to .50 kbps and speed test with phone on 4g will will get me 6mbps to 8mbps. what is the deal? Was the app built for 3g use only or why is it filtered down to a slower output? please help us.
I tried to tether with my evo using hot spot and wireless tether with no success. It works on my laptop but not on the zoom. Has anyone got it to work on zoom using evo? If so what settings?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
A friend of mine tethered off his stock evo just fine, no issues. Dont know his settings though, but since you can only select the security type, cant be much.
Works fine for me running xoom and evo unrooted. The xoom can't tell the economy from any other wifi but my second settings are just a standard named wpa2 set hotspot. Dhcp on, always in. Everyone in a while the xoom freaks out when the evo swaps between 3g and 4g but at worst in disable and re enable wifi and I'm fine. My second switches often since we don't officially have 4g in Columbus Ohio even though I have had signals most of the time since like last August.

Mine works perfectly tethered to my Evo running CM7.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Not sure if this was resolved, but I tether off of my EVO regularly, running CM7 stock.
OP, what setup are running on your EVO?
Swyped from my EVO
From what I gather, CM7 on the Evo has infrastructure mode wifi tether by default so Android devices shouldn't have any problems seeng the SSID (as opposed to Adhoc).
Also, the latest wifi tether version (direct from the code.google.com website) now does infrastructure mode, so you shouldn't have any issues as well.

I am running my 2.2 rls5 and I cannot get it to work. It seems to be a issue with the ad hoc network. I have tried several wireless heather apps including barnacle and others. Nothing works. May have to take zoom back if I cannot tether.
I tethered my XOOM to my EVO running CM7 RC4 just fine and dandy. No problems here, move along.
Im not using the Evo but the Samsung Epic.....WAY better phone, screen is 312x better, no HDMI out but the qwerty more than makes up for it.
The biggest downside I am finding is that using the FREE wifi apps, rather than the paid ones, i find it difficult to connect to my Sprint data network on the Epic with my Xoom. I am able to connect with my Epic to the Xooms network, but it only has 1gb and it costs money to go over. I have unlimited on the Epic, but I can only tether with Mac and Windows, and some odd distros of Linux that use older wifi network managers that were compatible with ad hoc networks......No luck getting the Xoom to connect the Ad Hoc only wifi hotspot that I am able to get using free third party apps.
Using the paid app works fine, but not with the app called Wifi-Tether, or Wireless Tether.

Are you using a paid tethering app, the official included tethering app, or a third party free app that requires rooting? Are you specifically using "Wireless Tether"?
If not, then its not really relevant to the OP.
Hello I have a rooted shift with Supreme Sense. I love the wifi tether feature, and it is my only source of internet for my PC right now. My 3g tether works fine, and I'm getting consistent slow speeds with it. However, when I have 4g enabled and then turn on Sprint Hotspot, my 4g bars go away and are replaced with 3g. When I don't enable Sprint Hotspot, my phone gets 1 to 2 bars of 4g and works very well. However, as soon as I turn the hotspot on I get nothing. Did something go wrong when I rooted my phone? Is there any way for me to tether with 4g?
Thanks for your help

No you didn't do anything wrong, and nothing is wrong. The Hotspot Tether Hack/Mod only works in 3G. But you can try THIS to improve your 3G speeds.

I don't run sense roms at all but on all of the AOSP roms you can tether on both usb and wifi hotspot no problem. It's built into the roms so you don't need any hacks or anything. Some examples are Cyanogenmod, Kush Deck, and MIUI.

Yes you can on all of the above listed roms besides MIUI. Sorry forgot for a sec that doesn't have 4g lol. And none of the ICS roms have 4g yet either. Cyanogenmod is the best rom for 4g tethering i.m.o

The WiFi Hotspot and USB Tether is built into the Roms on Sense also. But by definition it is a mod / hack. Because it is something not normally allowed without paying for it.

Cool going to have to check that out. Koush actually put out a new Tether App that requires no Root. Still in the testing phases, but looks promising for those just looking to Tether.

I never said I needed to wifi tether. I don't even use 4G as I have wifi. My tethering works perfectly on cyanogenmod without the use of a market app.
Keep in mind wifi tether uses the wifi radio. You can tether over 4g wifi on aosp for sure. Not sure about sense. Will test.

works fine for me on ss8 and ss9 using wireless tether (but i think you have to find the app from other sources, i think it was pulled from market)
Hey guy's, that open garden app is excellent. Now I am tethering with 4G. Thanks so much for that tip . Would you still recommend I do the change to make 3G faster? or could it mess up my phone?

You can still make the changes to speed up 3G upload / download speeds. It will not mess anything up. Just make sure to pay attention to what your doing. But if I remember correctly you said your running Supreme Sense. The changes for faster 3G are already made. Just double check to make sure, but I do believe the changes are already implemented. So you might just be in a bad area for 3G .

Hmmm... Market is telling me "This app is incompatible with your Sprint HTC PG06100." & "This item is not available on your carrier." Any other way to get the app (or other options for 4G wifi tether on a Sense based ROM)? I'm running a Synergy and would really like to keep it.
Update - N/m, downloaded APK from Open Garden's site> download and place on (I put on the root of) sd card > open Astro File Manage (free from Market) > find .apk file, select, install (make sure you allow third party apps to be installed) > Nice
Yeah with Tethering Apps and Sprint you'll run into that a lot. Most of them still work, but if you look on the Market it says imcompatiable. Reason is Sprint doesn't officially want you using them.
