I am running MikShift with 1.8 kernal with Cyan Dragon Theme.
The wireless tether works just fine with the 4g, but it doesn't work with the 3g, are there any threads or a fix or anything info on this?
I'm also having problems with this. I have thread a few post down but unfortunately we haven't found a solution.

The only problem I'm having is that devices connected to my phone via Wireless Tether get a LOT LESS speed than my phone will. Full 4G signal on my phone ~5Megs while a connected device will be pulling about 500K.

The 4G works just fine for me, I just can't get the 3G to work.
I'm having this exact same problem. I haven't been able to figurre anything out either. One this I've noticed is that if I switch to a different app, the tether will stop working until I go back to the wireless tether app itself and then the data will start to flow again.

Probably so, is there anyway someone can gain access to a "hacked" sprint hotspot for the Shift?

Well it looks like newkidd might of found out the tether issue..../system/bi/sh is symlinked to bash....
he is working on a fix...but i was helping test and can say fixing the symlink and tether worked perfectly....on 3g...although i know i didn't do this fix Friday when we toyed with it so who knows what the deal was....
The hack apparently takes a lot of work to change from EVO to ours....not sure what dev is going to be able to port it....

Has anybody tried deleting their spint hotspot? I'm going to try that and check back later tonight.

Well deleting the spint hotspot made no difference. Now a few days later I can't even tether on 4G. Quite frustrating, this. Any suggestions?

Guys, I submitted an issue on their google code page, feel free to go comment and knock this thing up to a hot issue so they will look into it. lol
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=878
OK I'm glad to see others are having this issue.
Prior to yesterday, I was only able to tether on 4G using Wired Tether OR Wireless Tether. As of yesterday, I can no longer tether AT ALL.
I've tried flashing back to the completely stock ROM (only had root mod) that preludedrew posted and I'm still experiencing this issue. The only other thing I could possibly do is RUU and then re-root.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Is this a sprint issue or individual phone? Are some people not affected at all? I have been using the stock ROM, rooted and with bcnice's 1.8 GHz kernel since root.
I use my phone as my primary internet so this is a HUGE detriment for me and also a GARGANTUAN downside for the phone. I'm wondering if Sprint is finding a way to outsmart us...
EDIT: Azilink appears to still be working fine for tethering. Although it does take a bit more of a setup and some familiarity (marginal) with adb, it also typically performs much better as well. Brandock made a post about it in the apps forum, a search should pull it up fairly quickly.
Well with stock root wireless tether wasw working fine once I switched roms it stopped working so you do the math

My 4G tethering came back oddly enough. Maybe it was my area.

Mine is back working now too...that's really weird.
NYC here.
Guess I wasted my whole day yesterday trying to figure this crap out =(
This is an issue with the ROMs not the app or anything. The symlin for /system/bin/sh is wrong....thats why when you go into terminal you see sh3.2 if you remove it and make a new symlink wireless tether will work....i can post the commands I was given that worked fine but I make no guarantees it will work or that it wont do something bad to your phone but I will give you the commands I used.
using terminal and your /system will have to be r/w
rm /system/bin/sh
ln -s /system/bin/sh0 /system/bin/sh

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the wireless tether connection? My connection is showing up but only allows limited connectivity from my evo to my computer and can not access the web. I am flustered with this thing bc it is one of the reasons why I wanted to root!
try to find and download the latest wireless tether .apk
i have the new version. i believe it actually came out this morning. wireless tethering-pre10....
Then try a not so new version. Different versions seem to work better with different setups.
Check your binary codes or make sure you are up to date with version

It happened the same to me. Pre10 doesn't work with the EVO. Pre9 works fine.
Man I have deleted pre 10 and installed and set up the Sept 5th version of pre9 and still the same damn thing. Connects with limited access but no internet connection! I enable access control and it tells me on my phone that my computer has connected. I'm really unsure why I can not get the internet connection to work. It's driving me nuts

So i'm running CM7 and I was at the airport yesterday with no free wifi. I used the USB tethering feature built into CM7 which happened to work just fine.
However, i am just wondering, is there anyway t-mobile will know i'm tethering?
Heard yes and no, never been billed for tethering through my carrier

AFAIK, no. There has been no definitive answer to this. However, I don't believe T-Mo has any "long armed reach" into your phone. All they are is a carrier. They provide you a signal, what you do with that signal is up to you. All they should see is a steam of data to various points on the internet on their end.
Now, if these points happens to be things like a WoW server or CoD server; aka things that 100% can't run on your phone -- maybe they would have some info. Surfing, email, and downloading should all be totally innocuous though.
I am running the superclean 2.7 voodoo, and adry said he disabled the monitoring module but i still get the vzw message when i log in from my netbook to sign up for it.Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?

Did you actually do the hack to let you use the 3G wireless hotspot app for free? The monitoring module isn't responsible for that part of it, it was (believed to be) just for snooping.
What app are you trying to run?

Have you followed the steps here to let you use them for free? If not, then you can't use them without paying. You gotta give more information about what, if anything, you've tried.

If your tethering in GB you will be monitored, so make sure your paying for the service. They have embedded software into GB system to monitor tethering. This was done by all Providers! This has been verified!

Yes if you tether with gingerbread Verizon with show up at your house and kill you. It has been proven on a forum that it will happen so I read on the internet so it must be true...
Really, until you get something from Verizon saying they are tracking you and bla bla bull crap don't worry about the retards who keep beating the whole sky is falling tether crap. With noon more to go off of then that damn p3 article. NOTHING in that dumb ass post has been verified.
That said before you start Barnacle use titanium backup to freeze your notification bar and then it should work.
Also pdanet needs a usb to work (last time I checked) and the free version wont let you go to https sites (again it has been a while since I looked into this app so it may have changed)

Let me clarify something for everyone here. A contact of mine has looked into the issue. When you use the 3g hotspot, in the code, there is a value that is set to 0. It is believed that this is how they can track you. However NOBODY has lost service or had any adverse effects as of now. However, this is ONLY present if you use the stock 3g hotspot. As with anything, do it at your own risk, there almost certainly will NOT be a problem.

What is the name of the app to freeze?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I can most of the time using the TBH patcher and wifi heather. Its about how gingerbread handles/reports data sessions, meaning its different then froyo so it doesn't report teather apps as an internal data session, instead saying it is an external data sessions, thus redirecting to Verizon's weboage.
But if you can get teather running, there is no more or less risk than before on froyo, its the same possibilities.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.

Cant find notification bar in in titanium backup ...
Im am on the rooted .588 GB and have the TBH patch installed and use the Hotspot app to tether. At first I could not get it to connect half the time and the other half when it did connect seemed to suffer DNS related issues or drop connection.
I ended up adding my MAC address in the native app for authorized connections and have had ZERO issues ever since.
Does anyone know is the TBH patche is out there somewhere still available for download? By the time I got a hold of it the whole Internet was going crazy over the tethering thing. I would like to be able to tether with GB. Don't wan a have to go back down to froyo.

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.

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.

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.
