Now I'm sad to get rid of Wireless Tether for Root Users. It got me though so many months of unauthorized tethering, but it doesn't have a toggle in Extended Controls.
Edit: Is there any way to make it remember my SSID and security? Every time I turn it on it resets to null and open.
Which built-in hotspot?
Are you referring to the built-in hotspot in CM6 or the official hotspot provided by Sprint? I just used started using the official hotspot today because so far wireless tether for rooted users app is not working in 2.2
I must say it feels comfy knowing now if my internet goes out I can just call up Sprint. Plus I think it opens up more COM ports over 3G.
Not sure if this is normal or not. I just rooted my evo shift installed wireless tether for root users by Muller, Lemons, Buxton. The options for bluetooth tethering are blacked out. I can wifi tether and I do have bluetooth turned on and I'm paired with my pc. I'm not sure if I'm missing somthing or not....
I'm in the same boat. Same app, rooted, and wifi hotspot'ing works fine, but all the bluetooth options are grayed out. perhaps its something for later development?
Isn't blue tooth and wifi on the same or close frequencies?
2.4ghz
I think sprint is on 800/900/1700mhz and 4g is 2.4
I might be incorrect on that.
Is there a widget or toggle for wifi hotspot with MIUI.us or do I have to to go through settings each time?
Thanks.
I am trying to use foxfi on my g2 on pacman ROM and when I enable WiFi hotspot, I get a system notification that mobile hotspot is enabled. In the settings menu of pacman under data, I see that mobile hotspot is enabled. Does that mean I will be charged for the data that I tether?
The point of foxfi is to get around Verizons expensive plans but I am not sure if my device will report data usage to Verizon since mobile hotspot under settings must be enabled for it to work.
Thanks in advance.

i finally rooted my moto X pure. hotspot does not work on its own and i dont know how to edit the settings for it. So i tried looking for apps but some of them that i once had does not work.
Barnacle doesnt work
Wifi tether router gives a giant mcafee warning stating its a threat with Android/Bokbe.A!Gen or Malware for basic
FoxFi i have to pay 8 dollars for it when i didnt need to before
clockworkmod works but its usb tether
any other options?
Is your carrier restricting you from using your data plan to host a WiFi hotspot? Mine works just fine with no additional apps required. When I first turned it on, it made sure my data plan supported the feature then worked as expected.

Usually tethering is only blocked if you have an unlimited data plan

When you turn on the stock app, is there an error message or anything? The stock tether app usually works well.

yeah i tried that, doesnt work. thanks.
ill either unroot entirely or switch to another OS
use clockworkmod on a pc and make that pc a gateway for a wireless router (set pc ip address manually to something static) configure the router properly, then just connect all your other devices to that wireless router
UPDATE:
Wifi tether creator replied to my email saying mcafee has a false positive on it because its root, mcafee never tested it.
but what i did discover is this. when i played with the wifi tether app, they have the ability to allow tether completely wifi. in it contained was a LTE patch to allow tethering and it worked. if anyone is able to get the patch out, then jackpot we have tether ability

tethering is blocked by some carriers, if you have an unlimited data plan

Right, the above build.prop edit eliminates this phone home verification. I've tested it successfully also on a cricket unlimited plan.
