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.

anyone know of a way i can do this without rooting??
Unfortunately not at this time (hopefully with stock froyo). The best you can do is WIRED tether with PDAnet wired tether app.
If you want wifi tethering use PDA Net.

Are you on crack? Trying to defend your incorrect statement by saying its still wireless? You specifcally said wifi tethering, to use the "wireless" you need to use the very few and limited bluetooth enabled devices or some kind of add on.
wifi specifically means WLAN devices based on IEEE 802.11, which is not supported.

First of all, don't drag me into your drug addictions. My first post said wifi and when I saw this, I went back in to edit it to say wireless and I thought the save took. So when you commented me back, I went off of what I thought was there.

I just bought the Motorola Xoom and activated at least for a month with verizon. I tried using Wireless Tether from my samsung fascinate, which works fine with my wife's IPAD, but the xoom does not show up.
Anybody knows if the motorola xoom is locked to "infrastructure" wifi and doesn't allow ad-hoc connections? Or better yet anybody has a way around it?
Mine is tethering thro my evo...not sure what's different.

Yeah me either. I know the samsung fascinate appears on my laptop as an ad-hoc connection, is the reason why i ask.
Not all tethering is created equal. Hotspots and various phones act different.
Im in the same boat with my moto droid. Adhoc is what the wifi tether app creates on my phone too. I wonder if newer phones, or other programs can create an artificial hotspot?

I'm using the built in tethering. I run CM 7
I just successfully tethered with my Nexus One (CM7)
tried the wireless tether for my evo 4g and it works.. maybe you need to update the app?
If anyone has a jailbroke iPhone and using MyWi. I'd be interested in knowing if the Xoom can connect to it.
I know it's an AdHoc connection and plan to use it when they release the wifi version of the Xoom

This is because the droid x supports infastructure mode, same with cm 7.just because you have wifi tether doesn't mean you have infastructure, only some phones have support for it .
There are ways to unlock the fascinate hotspot to be free and that supports infastructure.

Doesn't work on my Moto Droid... I have to use the Wireless Tether app in Bluetooth mode. It'll work, for now.
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.

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.
I'm rooted. I cannot figure out a decent tethering solution. The stock version will not let me tether even though I'm rooted running greyblur. I've tried the wifi tether app and it never connects. I'm currently using barnacle but it seems to run really slow. Always under 1.0 mbps while my atrix alone is at 2-3mbps. What is everyone's tethering solution like?

And you have switched the APN in the network settings to the "Tether" one?
PDANet (on marketplace) should work as wired tether regardless.
Use Barnacle tether... its better than adding the Tethering APN. Download it from somewhere and then sideload it.

As far as I know, the only thing AT&T can see is your data usage. They'll go after you if your data use is suspicious or something. You have to use the "Tether" APN in order to have the wireless tether feature on the phone work at all without a plan.
Try WiFi Tether. Works same as Barnacle. Download .apk and install.

If you have Limited Data then they can catch you easier. If you have unlimited its a little harder from what Ive hear. Plus using WiFi tether or Barnacle Tether is safer than using a new APN.

You don't need to change to tether APN to use Barnacle or WiFi Tether. Its not just data usage they see with using APN. This has already been discussed in another thread.

Nothing to do with data plan. They can see you are taking an extra "hop" so to speak when tethered using APN method. It can be faked out, but more trouble than its worth.

In your APN settings, under the 'APN Type' heading it should read 'default'. Modify this to 'default,tether' without a space. Then turn wifi on. Wait a sex. Then turn on wireless hotspot/tether. Worked like a charm for me.

Care to share that article? I'd like to read it
Also, what I meant before was that you needed to change the APN in order to use the built-in tether feature, not a tether app ^^
I believe he is talking about TTL or Time to Live on packets. if your phone sends data back to AT&T it will always have the same TTL attached to the data packet, lets say 64 which means in 64 'hops' the packet will be discarded as undeliverable, if you tether to another device, the hop will be one less because it will go 64 from the computer/tablet/tethered device to the phone, reduce by one as its done one hop, then 63 from phone to the tower, if they AREN'T measuring tethers like this then they should, because its pretty productive.
all they have to do is check the data packets and watch as everything is 64 then suddenly 63's are coming through without a tethering plan. -caught them-

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

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.

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.

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.
