[HOW TO] Tether EVO to PS3!!

Before I start this is more of a glich then a hack. That said you going to need a HTC EVO that is rooted and is running fresh_evo 0.3, I dont know why but this does'nt work with fresh_evo 0.5.3, I also have'nt tried this with any other ROM need feedback. Ok so what we are going to do is use the sprint hotspot without paying for it, this also might work with Xbox 360 I don't know since I don't own it, you are also going to need wireless tether. Turn on the sprint hotspot you will get an error message just push ok. Then go to your ps3 and scan for a wireless network it should find your phone it will be EVO and some numbers connect to it and run and test you will get an error. Now turn on your wireless tether on your EVO you might get an error thats ok. Now while the wireless tether is running turn off sprint hotspot now go back to your ps3 and scan for a network now insted of saying EVO and some numbers it will say Androidtether connect to it and there you go your online!!! Now even if you don't live in a 4G area 3G is still good for games I don't get 4G in my house and I still play MW2 over 3G with no lag
Happy Hacking,

LOL....
You think we didn't know how to do this?

Did I miss something? I thought the Wireless Tether app put up an access point???

Is this new?

So why does wifi tether without all the tricks not work? Now that wifi tether supports WPA it would seem to me that a PS3 could natively be connected.

I have a WiFi Tether .apk on my phone that i saved from another forum that supposedly works...haven't tried yet. Basically the guy who posted it said something like, "You want to use this one to tether a PS3 and not the latest version on the market or in roms". HmMmm i'll check it out tomorrow.

i don't think this guy knew that wireless tether was fixed from AD HOC to AP mode... lol

Rube Goldberg would be proud, OP.

Confused, I just tried. Opened up my MyTeather App on my phone, turned it on, scanned on my ps3, found the network, connected on my ps3, authorized it on my phone and connected to the internet browser no problem on PS3. Am I missing something from this post?

It's ok OP. I got a good chuckle out of your thread. We all have moments like these sometimes.
Thanks!

Nothing to see here folks, move along

good one
Seems like this could be done without touching the sprint hotspot app... I haven't tried to tether my ps3 because its on my home WiFi. Guess I'll have to give it a go just for poops and giggles...

I have used the tether app in my 2 laptops and my daughter ipod without the sprint hotspot app installed, i dont see why would we need it with the PS3, i will try it anyways in the ps3 and wii.
**EDIT**
It works without the sprint hotspot app.

Do you have to have root got tethering to work?

[Q] Can AT&T monitor tethering on a rooted phone?

So I tried the wireless tethering built into CM 6.1 this week and it's awesome! However, I noticed that my data widget added a 3rd line marked T (the other two are W(ifi) and C(ell)...) it still shows 0bytes next to it though, so obviously it knew that I had activated the tether feature since it added the T line to the data counters, but since it didn't count any of that data in my data usage tracking does that mean I'm okay and AT&T can't see it? I don't want to incur additional charges for tethering. It's cool, but not THAT cool!

No they can't track it.

Cool, thanks.

This Is cool. I been messing around wwith it a lot. I tether wifi to my Xbox via network adapter. I can join live download updates and Facebook. Even voice chat but it wont even try to join a mw2 map. Just loads and loads. Something with Nat u belive but no one here can fix it.

Not really sure why this doesn't work. Are you joining a game or creating a game? I can see it not working if you're creating a game perhaps. By default, you can't even ping the phone's IP address which is a big issue if you're going to host anything (it's totally unreachable).
But, I have actually tethered my PC and played Left 4 Dead 2 without a hitch. All NAT does is route the client's IP to the hosts' IP (to the outside world). You shouldn't have to have the XBOX NAT'ed to join a game at all.. and if you do, well shame on Microsloth...
"If you are using a NAT or firewall, you will need to open (forward) two ports for incoming traffic if you are going to host games. If you are not going to host games, you may or may not need to open these ports, depending on how your NAT works. You will need to consult your NAT documentation for information for how to open (forward) ports."
We cannot forward ports at this time... it may be possible sometime with 3rd party software though. But like I said, you shouldn't have an issue just simply joining a game. Once a connection is established from your end, port forwarding is not an issue. Port forwarding is only for incoming traffic trying to establish a connection (for a server).

Ya I just try to join. Maybe it matters depending on edge or 3g? The reason I thought Nat was because I got message says Nat is not open and may make your experience not as good or what ever.

Is there a way to verify this? 911jason says his widget isn't picking up data usage while tethered, but I just tried both tethering and wifi hot spot and using 3G Watchdog, it most definitely showed usage on both.

It uses your data it just don't show up to at&t as tethered. Just like using it on your phone

Little help?
Okay, so I tried tethering and wifi hotspot for the first time today, just to check them out. Now when I connect to my computer and turn on USB storage, the drive doesn't show up. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
*EDIT* Restarting my computer did nothing, but restarting my phone seems to have fixed the problem. Weird.

WiFi Issues! Please help! Need info?

Okay, so this might be like beating a dead horse, but yet I haven't gotten any responses for this issue. I use WiFi alot, and at work I really need it since my phone keeps switching between ATT & T-Mobile towers. Damn cell phone companies, 2011 and coverage still sucks! Anyhow I have to use WiFi alot at work and my phone keeps doing something stupid! It will connect to the wireless just fine, but keeping it connected is the issue! Stupid thing keeps dropping connection and then reconnecting. I don't know if it is because of the carrier switch or if my router is a piece of junk. My laptop seems fine on the wireless so I think that is fine. I am running [ROM][07/04/11] Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid [1.27.0] and everything seems fine on it! So maybe a setting in the phone, or I just have crap WiFi at work? I am literally sitting beside the dang router while this issue persists. I can even go into the Settings portion of the phone and watch the WiFi constantly say "Connected to NETGEAR_2" then "Scanning" then "Obtaining IP Address" over and over, WTF? Please someone, anyone, have issues with this on their MyTouch 4g before? My setup at work has two WNR2000v3 NetGear routers that are wireless bridge so the front computers can connect to the internet. I was connecting to the back router but the signal sucked so I switched and setup the front router to give me another signal. So my phone has full strenth on signal, but yet again it drops and picks up again and makes that notification sound when it does so. That sound maybe the phone roaming, I do have that feature on. But anyhow, any info would be great, just someone please give me an idea here!

Well, came to work this morning and tried to connect to the 2nd router with my laptop and lord behold, it messed up. So maybe its not my phone after all.

Question about Wi-Fi

Hey does anyone else have problems with the Wi-Fi? It seems that when I turn the Wi-Fi off and want to turn it back on it takes significantly longer to turn on than with my previous android
And I've also noticed that sometimes when I walk out of the range of any router it kind of gets stuck and I'm forced to turn the Wi-Fi off and back on
If anyone reading this post can just add a quick reply saying whether they have this same problem or not that'd be nice
Thanks

Yeah, I'm having the same issue when I get out of range of my campus' WiFi range. It seems to get stuck on that network and never disconnects and I have to turn off Wifi and turn it back on.

I was planning on trying my campus' guests network tomorrow and see how that works out. It my have to do with the verification that my university uses. I would suggest trying the same, if you have a guest network that is.

Same problem here on campus.
Tried using "Best Wifi" and "Wifi Strongest Signal" but I don't think they've been helping.
More of a problem for me since I'm only using this as a Wifi device. (Not activated)
Do iDevices suffer from this issue?

Yeah, I have been having problems with wifi itself. For me, after I turn it off while connected to my home wifi network, I will not be able to connect back into the network until I restart the network. Anyone else having the same issue as this?

Wifi problem

Does anyone having wifi connection problem? Normally every time when the phone screen goes back on, I will see the toast about changing network to mobile data, then goes back to wifi straight away. Also sometimes it happens even when I'm using the phone too... I'm using statics IP and Smart connect is off, then now I'm not too sure what's going on...
It's not a very big deal, but sometimes it's quite annoying, does anyone know the solutions? Or share your story

I have seen that same message several times I have smart network on. Even though I've seen this message before I have never experienced interruption on wifi

Haven't seen this yet tho I always turn network notification and always allow scanning to off in advanced Wi-Fi.

I am having a WiFi problem also but mine is different. I am having a problem connecting and staying connected to WiFi on the Note 4. If I turn WiFi on, it will not come on unless I restart the phone. Then after I get it to come on, it will stop working if I stop using the phone. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? And no it is not my home WiFi that is the problem. It happens on any WiFi network I try to connect to.

I had this problem on my brand new HTC One, I called Verizon, and said it's a manufacturer's issue. I've never had the issue like that, before that phone. Call Verizon and have them ship you a new one. Since it's under the manufacturer's warranty you shouldn't have to pay a dime!

So, does anyone reckon the router I'm using would be an issue?

Easy to troubleshoot, try connecting to another router or connect using another phone.

My N910U does not have this problem, but my HTC ONE E8 does, it kills my VPN which drives me crazy.
The problem is very noticeable to me because in China, dropped VPN means no youtube/google/twitter, which I cant live without.
I figured that it has something to do with rooting, because the E8 was not dropping wifi before root.
I am not rooting my note 4 because of this, until proven otherwise

Please, post the variant name of the Note 4 with the issue, i.e. SM-N910*. Angelky have a SM-N910U. Katz916, which model have you?
Ask because I had a wifi issue with galaxy S4, never solved even from Samsung assistance.

i got the same problem sometimes..my wifi sometimes disconnect and then reconnect again..same model with u too..SM-N910U

I need always-on VPN as well.
My HTC ONE E8 was fine before rooting, drops wifi like crazy after root
I cant be 100% sure that root causes the problem, but I am not rooting my N910U until we know exactly what causes the problem.

Ya, i think rooted phone may be one of the issues, and probably router as well. I never try other routers, but in my case it always connects to mobile data when i wake up the phone, then straight goes back to wifi. And randomly connect to data then back to wifi again.... As i said its not very big deal, but sometimes its quite annoying...
