I use pdanet, but there are others too. Only reason I use it is that they have versions for all three oses I think. The other one that I'm thinking of but can't remember the name is still windows only. Yeah to buy the app is kinda expensive but for the price of one month of official service you can have an app that is one time pay
U don't remember what the app was called?

Or you could go this route: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804 MAKE SURE you delete /system/MobileAP.apk and /system/MobileAP.odex (if you have this) before flashing that. Also you'll need clockwork recovery. I switched to this method as (a) it's the stock look, and (b) I have devices that cannot connected to ADHOC networks
If you do not mind your EPIC showing up as a ADHOC access point (which not all devices can connect to) then check out WiFitether: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
As others said PDA.net works as well.

A company called "Tether" has an app out in open beta. Haven't tried it myself but at least for Blackberry Tether was better than PdaNet.
I thought we'd all get a nice lol out of this ;-)

agreed.. more reasons to be on sprint..
Agreed, what's funny though is they can still get the apk online. But I suppose its a small step in their intentions

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.

Hmm I wonder how they would go about doing so, and am curious if they are able to if we have removed carrierIQ?

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.

(contribution to the Android Community I say )
I use so much data and tethering is a small amount. I wonder if they track based on browser?

I wanted to ask if you guys have had any luck with using the mobile hotspot without any monthly charges?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
That's something we really aren't supposed to discuss, because it's kind of a gray area legally
But Wireless Tether is a great, free alternative and you don't have to do any serious modifications to the phone with this option, just rooting
If this doesn't satisfy you, you can always send a PM

What version of wireless tether are you using? I tried 3.1 beta 7 bit couldn't get it working running ec07 miunia beta 4
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Googles wireless tether for root users works perfectly for me just make sure you're selecting the correct profile (Fascinate!) and start up mode (WEXT ad-hoc works best) in the settings!
Still running the eco7clean.
Using latest release of witether from Google.

Did some digging. I guess the version I was running (2. 0.7) didn't have profile options. Got the latest and greatest, and it is working good.

Thanks for the recommendations. I am going to give Google wireless tether a shot and let you know if I have any questions. I am running minunia beta 4 (can't wait for 5). So Google tether is free and no extra charges to my awful bill?

Correct, on the app being free. I assume you are grandfathered on unlimited data. If not, be careful.

Thanks... I was lucky enough to switch to the unlimited plan before verizon took it away. I also bought the continuum thinking verizon would update the phone.. (we all know what happened there ) lol

Yeah... but ya know what? Thanks to the Dev's here, VZW and Samsung can both KMA. I don't need em. Even if they had released froyo, how many of us would still be running stock odexed with all bloatware intact? I sure as hell wouldn't.
Didn't think about it that way but you're right. I hate all the bloatware.

Really? The device is a pos if you can't illegally tether without a plan that allows tethering?
Not to be rude, but there are ways to ask things without being a jerk about it.
Pay for tethering if that's what you want. Find a way around it, but that's not because the device, Samsung, or ATT have provided a pos device.

Finally got pdanet+ to work had to by the full version. .. the free version of foxfi force closed everytime. Tried the paid version but it just downloaded the key then pda net not foxfi..

Me too~
I didn't know there was an app by Chainfire that manipulated hotspot controls, haha.
It works for me quite well!
However, Foxfi didn't do anything for me, it just force-closed itself after hanging for 10 seconds.
Also, if you want to use the default functionality, you can drop by over here.
I've never had a device right out of the gate before, but I'm glad there are devs so diligent on getting the ball rolling for this device like literally(seemingly) every other device out there.
I have a few buddies who have the One Plus One and claim to have unlimited native tether without tripping any kind of notice to their mobile provider.
Will the Moto X Pure Edition have the ability to do this? Or will it have to be rooted for this to happen? I currently use the Wifi Tether Router app on a Rooted S6 Edge and it works great.
If you're buying a SIM free device, why would Moto tell anyone what you're up to?
Ahhh I always thought that Mobile providers could tell?

If they look close enough they can tell. Some have basic flags set up to alert them but they are easy to bypass.

I was reading through the 2014 Moto X threads where people were discussing how to edit their build.prop scripts so that native tethering would not be detected.
I just met up with my buddy today who has a One Plus One and he showed me his native tethering app and it worked great...

CDMA doesn't even exist outside of the US, so I never give it any thought whatsoever. I said SIM free because that's how the device is being sold, without contract.
