Mobile Hotspot - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I noticed this weekend while using my mobile hotspot I could only connect a max of 2 devices. I thought the MT4G could connect up to 4 devices? Is there a setting where I can change the number of devices that I can connect? I'm rooted using Royal Glacier v1.3 Thanks in advance

If you get into the settings, you'll see that it allows you to choose from 2 to 8 devices.

Ok I found it. Thank you. I can only increase it to 4 max but I can live with that.

Probably a limitation of MySense ROMs. DHD ROM and non-Sense ROMs allow up to 8.

Are you using the latest version of Wifi Tether that supports setting up a true AP or still using an older version that only supports ad-hoc? Last I heard Android cannot see ad-hoc networks.
You are using adhoc. Android phones can't see that

[Q] How to enable Channel 13 Wireless on Sense

Hi,
On CM, there is an advance option which will allow the wireless to pick up channel 13. However, on Sense it does not have an option and therefore, my wireless network will not show up.
Does anyone know how to enable it? I can't use any other channels because they have been proved unstable to me.
I would also like to know if there are such a setting.
I am on a Desire HD with LeeDroid rom, and aren't able to see wifi on channel 13.
Although I noticed it first recently, because my Wildfire work phone picked up networks the other one didn't. So I'm not 100% sure it could find channel 13 on stock rom, but I would assume since its bought in Denmark.
Hi there, I'd also like to know how to enable channel 13 on Paranoid Android please?? Like co2-guy, I can enable it on CM7 but haven't found where to do this on Paranoid Android...
Any help would be much obliged as I've got no wifi on the HD2 at present...
Thanks

[Q] Wireless Tether app

My girlfriend recently got a MyTouch 3G, and I was thinking about rooting it for her. I have a couple questions. I've read about some of the Roms and the rooting process.
1. Does the Wireless Tether for root users app work? I saw that some Roms have USB tethering unlocked, which will also work, I just hoping to use Wireless Tether.
2. What ROM would you recommend? I want to be on a Sense based ROM. I haven't figured out if its A or B but it has the headphone jack.

There is no sense rom for the headphone jack, but however there are rom that have root+wireless tether. Go to www.theunlockr.com and there are how to's to root. and there are also all roms for your phone that are linked to xda
You can go here instead to root. There are Sense UI ROM's that you can flash on that phone from the G1 Development Section.
You need to read over this thread and you'll learn a good bit about your myTouch.
wireless tether
I recently rooted my tmobile mytouc 3g and have attempted to download wireless tether for root users from the market place but it doesn't come up. It comes up on the market with my Acer a500 and I even attempted to send it via bluetoothto my phone but it still doesn't allow me to install. It mentioned something about my provider not allowing me to have it. My phone is using clockwork mod with cyanogen 5.0.8-dp. If anyone knows what I can do please help. Thanks
You might try cyanogen 6.1 stable so you can have the 2.2 android that may be the reason its not showing in the market. There are other wifi tether apps as well

Thanks, I'll give it a try
5.0.8 cyanogen on my phone allows teathering. Right in the wifi and network settings.

They are talking about wifi tethering not usb tethering

Xtacy if that doesn't work pm me you email I will send you a wifi tether app that I know works with our phones
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA Premium App
The built in wifi/Bluetooth tether doesn't work. I think its because of my a500 tab and android 3.0. You think it would be easier because they are both android, oh well. I didn't attempt the update to 6.1 yet.
Well I have a apk that will run on cm6.1 for sure so let me know

When it didn't work for me, I stopped using hotspot for a while. During that time I used WiFi to install a UA switcher for Firefox and Chrome.... Just decided to try hotspot tether again yesterday, streamed nearly a gig of videos perfectly fine

Pass tmobile unlimited wifi hotspot bloock
this is my method. others my create threads bout it,but its mine!
1.download a vpn to your phone from the market(idc what you use)
2.turn it on (go figure)
3.turn on wifi hotspot
4. on firefox or chrome (if you arent using those,get one) download a user agent switcher.
5.switch user agent to another android device,others can work,but this way is always works
6. turn off vpn.
if you did everything correctly,you can tether still. this is how im writing this
The Vpn can be optional if you already can download a ua switcher. I only used it, cause I got blocked an that was the only way around it, that I could think of.
Its by a xda membr. Nt me

the vpn or the tethering app disconnects?
have you tried any other roms? You could try making an generic apn or use the alternate gateway...
go into ur data settings then apn settings create new any name and insert the epc.tmobile.com addy
If using firefox ua switcher I used vista ua's......opera vista never failed me
are you using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 ?
it says wifif tether works and it would be best for yourself and or dev to ask in their thread because some of the settings to change may work some and not work at all for other devices...
if i were you id backup then flash other roms after posting in the respective rom thread....see if its rom, android version, all the simple stuff
I'm sorry I wont post no more threads.so everyone for my ignorant spamming.

ur not spamming by any means...its just really hard to troubleshoot unless you. have the device in your hands
good thing is if you have data then there should be a way....
what was disconnecting the tether app or the vpn app?
if tether app then one of ur settings is not right and if it the vpn then youll have to check the other free and see if you cant get any of them to work.....maybe the tun.ko installer for droid vpn but idk if that helps
can you usb tether while ua blocking?
