I know that this does not work on DK28 currently, but if anyone could get this to work it would be very helpful. This is the only thing keeping me from going back to 2.2. I need it for one of my computers when im not home. Here is the link for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785719
The guy said he was gong to look into replacing the sprint mobile hotspot with this. If anyone could do this and possibly include it in there rom then I could go back to 2.2. I have seen a few post of people using 2.1 because they also don't have this for 2.2. I hope there is more interest and we can possibly get this done. I would try but I know nothing about how to do it.
Thanks in advance for anyone that is able to do this, or has interest in it.
FYI - I have gotten every wireless device in my house to see and use this app. (ps3, 3 laptops).
I'm on Mammon's Bonzai ROM and using the Sprint Hotspot app just fine. The only issue I'm having is that 4G drops when I get or make a call while using the hotspot.

assuming your paying for the feature as well. Ill take a stab and say he wants a free infrastructure hot spot, which I think as of right now is only possible on 2.1 odexed roms. The original porter of the i9000 ap said hell only port again on am official release. Cyanogen I believe also has it as a possibility, but its not yet working on our port. And the op of that thread says it won't be any time soon.

Also BTthomas is working on coding the mobile ap to work on 2.2 froyo deodexed roms and said he was making progress but is taking a break for the holidays, so we might see it soon maybe even b4 official froyo but have feeling that once the 2.2 source is out jr might make a new one and bt might have one faster for deodexed roms so ill give it a few months at least and we will probaly have it work on all roms

I doNt know about for the ps3 but I'm using wireless tether rc2 on froyo and it works great on my iPad and laptop. I had mobile ap before I updated and honestly wireless tether to me is just as fast. I haven't tried it on the ps3 though.

Wireless tether crawls in comparison, the loading of web pages on my computer is so slow with wireless tether, plus mobile ap doesn't get my phone hot even when charging, also when u connect multiple compters and devices to wireless tether it crawls more mobile ap I've connected 4 devices on 1x speed and 2 of them were streaming u tube in under a minute of loading, plus mobile ap is so much better looking and not an extra app u have to have its part of your settings and kicks ass plus it works superbly on 4g when wiress tether doesnt...

Cool thanks for all the info on this. Yes looking for a free alternative. I only need it about once a week for a few minutes. The Google cr-48 only does infrastructure mode. Kinda sucks but I need it when I'm out and there is no wifi. Haven't activated the Verizon 3g built in yet. Just want an alternative to it since I have the phone, but then again I probably wont go through the 100mb limit it comes with. I use the computer for school so I have to make sure I have internet in case I run out.

I have Froyo on my Epic 4G with Epic Experience 2.0.0.5 instaled and I want to use Wired Tether, as for some reason on Wireless tether, if i have my phone plugged into my computer and wireless tether on... the battery drains faster than it charges and my phone dies... idk what causes this, anyway back on topic. Is there anyway i can use wired tether on froyo at this point? I get kernal issues when i try to use it. Also, im on the DK28 version of froyo.
you can use easytether or PdaNet

This should not be the case..is your phone hot when wireless tethering? if so it may not be charging due to the heat and I suggest placing it on a metal platform..

They're trials. Well, pdanet is a 10day trial or something and easytether blocks https websites
Or it might be the other way around lol
But I made a thread like this and basically, simple wired tether isn't available on froyo yet, but it works in 2.1 with some kernals

I bought easytether used it on 2.1 and reinstalled on 2.2 aka dk28 and still works with no issue.
I think it was $10, which is nothing since you have a pretty much a $400 phone 8)
To get access to htts sites you do need the paid version.
Sigh
I've done many searches on here for help
dk28 no matter what rom drops randomly my easy tether (paid) connection. It did not do this with DI18. I'm happy with the nebula ROM except for this. I know it's a dk28 issue of some sort, because I've seen others complain of this in another thread I cannot now find.
I hope someone can help me fix this without a reload, it is my ONLY issue, but it's a huge issue since my phone is my main internet source.
Thanks!
I ended up with the same issue on easytether, so eventually I gave up and had to use wireless tether

check your wireless and networks, on my device with dk28 it says tethering, just turn that on and it works, thats how im using it right now... see if that works for you
Thanks for the reply, but that causes the usual error67 that the hotspot gves you as well. Guess I have to go back to eclair.

yea or try turning on wireless tether and leave access control on so it does not kick you off, i had that issue when i went from tethering to wifi last night, or maybe it was turn off access control, it was a lil late sorry lol
I use PDANet because it works while your computer has an active wifi up. EasyTether does not work with an active wifi. I have licenses for both.

USB tether easytether pdanet Wireless which is faster?
When I first used PDANET I was getting 5mb down! I get 1mb with easytether...I switched due to driver issues with PDANET. I dont know for sure but maybe there is a limitation on the legacy usb driver easytether uses? Maybe sprint can see and has capped my data? I am using a rooted stock Samsung eb13 2.2 Hmmm...Dunno for sure but think the rom I had it on when it was 5mb was epic experience 1.5 which totally freaked out on me after I installed AVG antivirus and I kept getting popups speed is nice but at a price? Can anyone explain why initially it was 5mb now its not?

Iv searched and searched but can't find anything specifically answering my question in layman terms.....ok here goes, before I had my phone rooted I paid 30 for one month for the sprint hotspot on my epic and used it on my ps3 to play call of duty and it worked perfect. Then a co worker told me about the rooting and free tethering so I had it done and the phone works fine, its a little faster and all that jazz but the tether feature only works on certain devices (ipod touch and 1 of my laptops) but will not work on my ps3 at all. My question is why and how can I fix it.....
I can't say I've tried this, but here's a thread with some knowledgeable input that might help you along:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834373
Ok I'm lost. It has 2 downloads for epic and neither zip from doing the 3finger start up and zip from sd
It is because it is an adhoc signal. Some devices won't connect or even see an adhoc signal I believe the ps3 is a device that won't cnnect to an adhoc signal. You might have to contact sony on the specs though.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i understand the logic behind that but why does sprints stock "hotspot" work fine on ps3 but all "aftermarket" tethers do not
I've never used the sprint hotspot, but it probably transmits in infrastructure mode (like a wireless router), and not ad hoc mode (like wirelssly conncting two computers together without a router). The truth is, no ones been able to get infrastructure mode working on di18 (which is android 2.1, and you are probably running it if you didn't go to dk28, which is android 2.2).
Now, you could try going to dk28, but it can be buggy, and I don't think the wireless tether in infrastucture mode works perfectly either. So in otherwords, it might get complicated for you.
I have an xbox360, which also doesn't connect to ad hoc networks. So instead, I use a wired tether program, pdaNet (the free version). My setup is epic wired tethered to my laptop, then an ethernet cable to connect my laptop to my xbox. If you have a laptop that you can use for this setup, I highly recommend it. There's also probably less lag than with wireless tether since wireless has more latency than a usb cable.

If your Epic is running Eclair 2.1 and you're already rooted, then you're in business.
You need to flash the modified hotspot app that was ripped from the Vibrant (and modified for each of the Galaxy S series), and you're golden. After doing this, use the Sprint Hotspot app like usual with no need to pay the $30 fee, plus it's working in infrastructure mode (everything wifi friendly), not ad-hoc (some wifi friendly).

Had a similar issue trying to tether to my nook, luckily there are some pretty smart people over in that forum too and they figured out a way to swap over the nook to see ad hoc networks, makes me wonder if you trolled some ps3 forums and saw if some other people have found a solution to their systems not being ad hoc friendly, because if you ever decide to go to 2.2 that hacked hot spot option wont work

If your going to go back to stock anyway (2.1, not 2.2), just root/cwm and flash the existing MobileAP for 2.1, as that will work without having to pay the extra $30/month. The trouble you were having is that the way the hotspot feature works got changed in 2.2, so the zip for 2.1 that you flashed wont work correctly.
If indeed you are going back to 2.1, this will only work on an odexed rom, in other words, a stock rom (custom kernel is fine) or possibly a custom rom after running the odexer tool in the dev section before you install/use MobileAP.

I just rooted someone's Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4G phone. I installed Barnacle but its soooo slow. Any better app? Is tethering known to be slow? Thanks!
Tethering is known for allowing you to cook an egg on the backplate of your phone.
Try the yellow icon version of Wifi Tether. Then there is the Wired Tether app.
If you look in the dev section of this forum, you will see the Sprint Hotspot hack thread. That's also a good one to try.
I'm using the the hotspot hack as I write this on 4g...working beautifully! Faster than my sprint data card ever was...
I use the sprint hotspot. I recomend it. 4g works great you can connect more than 1 device to it. It acts like a portable router.

I've tried a bunch of different ones out and am in the same situation as you... it was rooted for the sole purpose of free tethering (and to remove the samsung bloatware).
The new cleanGB rom is the best i've used, not the fastest but everything works and has been perfectly stable. for tethering i use open garden wifi - this is no longer listed on my market but if you do a google search for it, you can install it directly from their website for free. that's the best/easiest/most stable tether program i've used.

Cleangb has wifi hotspot built in, and I thought it does usb tethering as well. No 3rd party app needed. Anytime an app is pulled from the market, you really have to wonder why, and be cautious DLing directly from their website.

+1 on the CLeanGB BML. I've had an issue or too fiddling with undervolting but other than that, it just works and looks nearly stock. I'm not a big tetherer but I seem to recall doing a USB tether a while back and Wireless Hotspot hack is built-in. It also included a few other "nice" hacks that I like. Alternatively, as was mentioned, the android wi-fi tether app worked well when I did use it.

The wireless hack works great, its been built into my roms for some time now. But occasionally I still have to use alternate tether apps, as things like my TouchPad can't see Sprint Hotspot for some dumb reason.
