Wait to be rooted.
You can search in the dev section for access to the wifi AP settings and there is something supposedly but I haven't tried it myself.

Just wait for th OTA update!!

Received an OTA update to my GF G2 & she now has Wifi tethering & the wifi calling application.

The OTA is legit. It's all good.

Yes there is wifi tethering.

The ability to use a wifi tether is really all I'm looking for right now. When I rooted my G1 and installed BarnacleWiFi from the market, that just opened up a whole bunch of options for me. I would connect my iPad to my phone and surf at the airport and other places where wifi wasn't free. At work I could do it and access sites which were locked down by the firewall, but I needed to access when I had to work on an agent desk and didn't have my laptop handy. Being able to tether with wifi is HUGE! I didn't know the G2 couldn't do this when I bought it, but I still would have bought it anyway. I can still tether with a USB and then use Conectify on my laptop to create a hotspot for others if I wanted to, but not having to drag out the laptop to create a hotspot was just toooo awesome. I'm really hoping the OTA update comes in soon. I won't even wait for a root solution on the G2 if they are able to enable that on my phone.

Using one of the many posted temp root methods will allow "wifi for root users" app to work perfectly. I tested myself last night. Use the newest one posted on the google code page.
Anyone that received the ota update already, pm me, it can help the cause! If you have the notifaction saying update but haven't done it yet even better...

Dam! Calling me a troll once again. Since I haven't been banned I guess the Mods don't think I'm a troll .
You don't even use a G2 so why does it bother you so much?

Its funny how EVERYONE that says they got the OTA update shows proof that they have it by uploading pics showing the update. But the funny part is, they ALL post the same EXACT
pics that ive seen in other threads from a user claiming they have the update. I smell.......bull

So you've seen the pics from at least 1 user showing you the wifi tether but you still say it's bull.
The OTA was stopped by TMO due to it being released before they wanted it. Only TMO employees and demo devices (used by vendors)received the updates and not all of them received it. TMO has halted all OTA updates to the G2 until the tethering data plan is ready to launch. From what I've heard you're looking at $10-$15 per month for tethering w/a cap of 5GB just like the broadband cards. Give it about 2-3 weeks and you'll see an official release.
Before you ask how I know this...well lets just say I work w/TMO released and unreleased devices. I get to test them out and use them before the release date. I can tell you the myTouch 4G, otherwise known in the blog world as the myTouch HD, will have wifi tethering and wifi calling out of the box. The wifi tethering data feature will be ready before/or on the launch of this phone in November.
PS. Don't ask me for pics of unreleased devices...not gonna happen since I like my job.

So I'm from Austin myself, and if I tether my epic 4g ...I will go from a rarely 11 mb/s to 22mb/s?
(Assuming I'm at the right location to get that speed of course)

So this is what samsung was wasting time doing instead of updating our phones. )

Verizon and AT&T block wifi tethering from market.

yeah.. pretty sure that anyone that knows how to root to get tether to work knows where to find the apk.

But according to the article the carriers can differ the use of their own tethering services and the use of tethering that Google wanted to be allowed in Android, basically even if it isn't on the market it's less people using the tethering and makes it easier to pinpoint and cut people off.

A) Sprint will likely follow suit
B) I didn't even know it was available in the market lol.

Sprint's the only company that hasn't followed in the major two's footsteps so far.
First being encrypted locked boot-loaders. Not one phone has been so encrypted that it's impenetrable. Then second being this. I think Sprint's taking the route of T-Mobile and going to support AOSP to the fullest. Of course, it's wishful thinking but on the other hand, it does appear to be the case...for now.

I would lie to know the source of info in that article stating that they can tell when you are tethering. I don't believe that is true. Data should be data. There was another article out and this was not stated, just the block. That is achieved by the market lkooking for the carrier's signature and not showing certain apps, like Verizon's NFL app to Sprint or At&T.

Sorry for the newbie question, but does anyone know how to remove the carrier IQ? It seems that if that is not there then one cannot be detected tethering.
I am a new EPIC user and rooted my phone using the oneclick method and RFS filesystem. Basically rooted just for tethering my tablets to my phone for occassional net access. So how do I go removing sprint's IQ? TIA!

Yup. Put on a ROM that has it removed. Read OPs in development ROMs

I had to post here.
I noticed this, and when I went on the website to install it, it said I couldn't "Carrier blocks the install."
I go on my phone, fire up the market, and it lets me install it from there.
So apparently, T-Mo just wants me to download it from my phone, not from their website.
Whatever, I didn't even know that there was a website for the market till like a week ago. xD

Currently, putting a rom on is the only way to remove it.

There its also the factor of how much data is used - generally, a tethered device like a computer or game console would use more data than the phone by itself. If Sprint sees an unusual amount of data being downloaded, they might be able to consider that proof enough (just speculation, I'm not an expert but it is plausible)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

i think sprint cares just a little less because their data plans are truly unlimited. my phone is my only source of internet. i use it to download movies and games and everything else. i use about 9-30Gb of data a month. and 've been doing it for over a year. no one has terminated my contract or throttled my data speeds or anything. they put up with it as long as i pay my bill.

Wouldn't the wimax network have allot less users when everyone starts moving to LTE? Shouldn't that make wimax faster until they kill it off?

I only care about coverage and unlimited data.

Wimax is not going away.
Neither Sprint nor Verizon has Spectrum capacity to meet demand. Clear Does.

What use will I have for the phone when I get its replacement? Anything the Epic4g can do, my new phone can do better and faster. Might give the epic4g to a family member or hopefully microsoft brings back its stupid smoked by windows phone challange this summer and I can get a new one of those for free in trade and then sell it. Most likely though it would sit in a drawer for a year in case I need a backup phone and then into the garbage.

I'll give it to my kids so that can use it like the Android version of the iPod touch: WIFI only, gaming, music, etc. Until Sprint comes out with a worthy successor, such as the new GS3 or Galaxy Note/Journal, I'll be rocking both the OG Epic 4G and my International Galaxy Note (on Straight Talk prepaid unlimited).
