I tried using the open garden wifi tethering app (rooted off course) but when i was using it, i got a notification saying hotspot was activated. So i clicked on it and it took me to sprint hotspot app saying "hotspot activated". This is the first time something like this happened (used Open Garden before) and got scared because i know i have to pay 49.99 or something like that to use the app, and stopped tethering. Should i be scare about this? Despite the fact that the app said i was using hotspot, i wasn't using their hotspot app and the thing to activated it on the app was unchecked.
I want to know because i am under my fathers plan and he said if i ever added an extra payment on the bill he'll take me off his plan.
Also sorry for posting a question on this board, people usually go in the general forums a lot more and reply to topics faster.

How does this even begin to address the OP's concern? You responded to a keyword that you recognized in the post, instead of comprehending the meaning of all of his words in the order in which they were presented.
He is worried that he will be charged for using the paid hotspot, and rooting his phone won't change it if he was being billed.
However, it sounds like that app has been updated, borrowing from the free wifi tethering app (open garden wifi is based off of the open source wifi tether, hosted on Google projects).
It is activating software that is already present in the stock firmware, but it cannot call Sprint and ask them to add an option to your plan. The paid hotspot (unhacked) will not work without that option on your plan, so if it is working then you either added the option, or you aren't being charged because it was activated via a hack.

Doesn't make your reasoning right.. post in the right section next time. You can try using a different tethering app like wifi tether. Open garden isn't your only choice.

Since it seems that open garden is always just a little behind the open source project on which it is based, I think it is a safe bet that the "developers" behind open garden haven't added anything other than gps tracking of its users. I say, just stick to wifi tether, since it is the original (and I don't trust an app that only adds location tracking when the purpose of the app has nothing to do with location)

I don't know if any one has found this but the incredible has been able to do it by changing the system software without rooting it. My friend did this and he was able to use the tether on/off switch on the settings menu without ever having to pay the extra amount. Does anyone know of a method like this for the EVO? I believe its called dun hack.

He's not rooted cuz all he did was turn on the tether on the phone from the setting menu and I was able to connect my evo on the verizon network. He has actually done this for two months already without verizon knowing our an increase in his bill.
sounds like he's rooted, that's how you do it on a rooted phone. some reason you don't want to root?

Yes. Just go to unrevoked.com and do it, simple, easy peasy...
Then flash a rom, they all have free tether..
I just did this yesterday, took 10 mins. DONE.
I am looking for a way to use the sprint hot spot on the leaked froyo build but it does not seem to be out yet.
Is there an app that works the same way as sprint hot spot. I don't want ad hoc because it does not support some devices. If anyone has anything that does not require "flashing" a custom rom to get this I need to know.
I found Moble AP but you need to flash it with clock work recovery and I would lose the froyo build.
Thanks in advance
No dice on AP and 2.2 on Epic. If AP is that important to you, go back to 2.1, else live with wireless tether and Ad-hoc.
If you search you will find what your looking for.
We have nothing got froyo yet but people are working on mobileap. We are still on a froyo leak so stuff like this is delayed cause official froyo may be different then are leaks
Sent From Da Hood.
I am guessing that means we have nothing for foryo yet and mobile ap is in the works but won't be out untill the offical release. I just hope I ca get it on the stock rom and I won't need to flash a custom rom to get it to work.

You don't need a custom rom to use Wireless Tether. You just need to root your phone. Takes about 5 minutes or less. Why would you want to use the sprint app? The WT app has much more capability.

1) i never stated i'll be using it. I have wifi everywhere i go. i always go to friends, my own house, school, or starbucks so i'm good.
2) If people are smart enough to "hack into my system" inside i'll be waiting with a sign saying "congrats!!! you just spent all that time hacking me when you could've knocked on my door and gotten the password! WOOPIE!"
IDC if anyone "hacks" into my wifi.
If more people use it its not costing my extra, so i don't really care. I give my friends my wifi pass if they need/want it anyways.
I've started to tether with my CM7 Atrix and I'm honestly getting a little paranoid. Is there anything i should do to ensure I don't get caught tethering? Or is it just a random they caught you out of the blue type of thing? I'm on Att btw.

I know someone probably has posted this already but over an hour looking for a suitable solution without installing some app on my phone and computer...
I was running CleanG3 on my Epic and the USB and WiFi tethering worked fine but got sick of the update notification to FC09, so I resetup my phone with Android 4.0.4 ICS and CyanogenMod 9 B3. Normally I would simply ask on that thread but my account limitations says I can't...
I want to use the built in USB or WiFi tethering but it has to be "unlocked" first because I'm not paying Spring $40/mo to use my own unlimited data. Even the Bluetooth tethering would be cool, but really I only need one of them to work and prefer USB.
Anyone know of something I can flash or what ever to get rid of the sprint checks so it works?

In order for USB Tethering to work you have to disable USB Debugging. I don't really know why my original test of WiFi tethering didn't work, but after disabling debugging that seems to work now too. Still haven't tested the BT Tether, but I have a feeling maybe that works too.

No. They cannot add the fee unless you request adding the plan and agree to terms and conditions. However they can cancel you altogether for excessive data use under TOS. It is hard to prove you are using your phone as a modem without a tethering plan so they cancel you for excessive data use. Reading between the lines means don't be a data hog.
