Ok one of the reasons I mainly got this phone was the mobile hotspot feature because the internet at my college blows and it would be nice for everyone to be able to browse the internet in a single dorm and not just 2 people. Unfortunately Sprint has made it so this feature costs an addition 25 with your bill. I don't pay the bill so this isn't an option for me. I heard that if you root the epic, you can use the mobile hotpot feature for free. I haven't rooted it yet but I have the z4 root application on my phone. So how can I go about doing this?
Run z4root and then download and run wireless tether. Its not on the market so google it and you will find the latest version. I don't recall whether it will run on a stock kernel; if not you'll want to install a custom rom.

It is usually usable only on the Eclair build when rooted. Sometimes not ;-)

Ok I found a hit on google for wireless tether on google code. The only samsung glaxy device I saw said it ran on 1.5 but I'm on 2.1 so it should work right. I'm not sure if the device listed works with epic but it said galaxy device. Also will sprint notice the increase of data usage and charge me more?
Nope, unless you start dl movies.

Your expectations are unrealistic and this is a really easy subject to search for.
I don't unerstand how my expectations are unrealistic but thanks for the responses anyways.

Here you. Root and wifi tether and other stuff all in one. Easy menu.

If you are on 2.1 the best way is to get clockwork (use the one click root) then find mobile ap in the dev section and apply the zip. Way more stable than wireless tether in my experience.

Thanks much Jay. Gonna give that link the once over before I mess with the phone itself. Thanks ipaq as well. I'll check that out if I find any problems with the one in Jay's link.
Definitly if you are staying on stock rom, use mobile ap, it is soooooooooo much better then wireless tether, and if you follow my tutorial after rooting and getting clockwork first you can have themes with it too.
I think what he's trying to say about your expectations is you think you can do this and give everyone internet on your dorm. Do you know how slow that will run? Also you can only connect so many devices at one time. I don't know how many for wireless tether but mobile AP is 5. Yes wireless tether is a great feature its just not going to meet your expectations for helping a while dorm out.

Am I missing the OP's question that Sprint called this device a mobile hotspot?? Is Sprint lying?
If you don't pay the $30 a month charge for hotspotting, will Sprint find out and charge you any extra if you tether your phone after rooting it?

Ive been tethering since i had windows mobile, and ive never been in trouble, just dont download movies or any other big files. I mean its not even worth it to download movies takes too long anyhow. Just dont take your phone in rooted with that app on it or then u might get into some trouble.
If you have an epic 4g you have unlimited (truely unlimited) data...they are not going to say anything regardless of how much data you use. That being said spint will not Check the status of your phone (root or un rooted). You are go to go on tethering

Yeah, I don't plan on doing anything crazy like torrenting. I'd use this to tether my iPad if I'm in an airport or on a long trip, or maybe if I'm on vacation and don't wanna pay $10-30 for the hotel's wifi. That's all. Nothing mundo crazy where I'm using gigs of transfers.
Thanks for letting me know!
I have a question that I hope someone here can answer.
I've toyed with the idea of installing one of the hotspot programs. But, I'm very wary of surfing the Net without a NAT/firewall between my Windows box and the Net. Do these programs provide firewall-type protection to the machines that are surfing through them?

I have tethered the N7 countless times. You use the wifi to search out porto hotspot you create on your phone, whatever it may be. Then connect.

The n7 is a WiFi only. Smartphones can tether because of their 2g/3g capability.

Nexus 7 is not a Wifi Device only, it also has a microUSB connector so it could tether via that one.
And anyway, even if it has wifi only and to be honest wouldn't have sense to tether to other wifi devices (since they could gather wifi from the primary sender..) but why they took us the option anyway? If I wanna, just for the lulz of it, block my smartphone from getting WiFi from the router, and do thethering from the nexus 7, why they have to cut out this option? :S

I'm assuming he means the ability to use USB Tethering (as in, provide Internet to a device or computer, over USB, from the Nexus 7 and a WiFi). A bit surprised people haven't really heard of this option, but it is indeed missing from the Nexus 7.

Eh, doesn't really shock me. It doesn't really seem like a huge amount of people do that, at least compared to wifi tethering.
That being said, do tablets/phones normally have the option? Usually I see it having to be implemented after release by the community.
Edit: Opps, misread one of the links I put up.
Still some clarification other than "No tethering on Nexus 7" would've helped. There are multiple ways to do it.
Also, why not research before buying if it is such a big deal?

Non WiFi-only devices usually have it (my SGT7 had the option), can't really say if WiFi-only devices have it though.

OK I get what you're saying. But I fail to see in what instance I would want to tether (share the internet connection) from my N7 with another device via USB.
Would I tether from my N7 to my phone? My phone can use whatever WiFi my N7 is on. Not to mention my phone has 3G.
Would I tether from my N7 to my laptop? My laptop can use whatever WiFi my N7 is using.
Now, I could see the the reverse of both of those circumstances. If I had 3G but no WiFi, I would want to share the 3G from my phone with my N7. Or if my laptop was using an Ethernet connection and no WiFi was available, I would want to share the connection from my laptop to my N7.
I hope I'm just misinterpreting this whole thing and I'll be slapping my forehead when I understand, but from what I've read so far, that seems unlikely.

WOW ..
My only Question is WHY.. Nearly all if not all laptops in the past 10 years have had wifi built in. I think its not a option because it makes no sense to have another wifi capable device to usb tether a available wifi network when it can just get the signal itself . Likely stronger and more stable . faster then adding another hop thru data transfer .
My phone has usb tether built in with ICS .. You can use a app to enable what your looking for .I think pda net does it..
Good Luck People in here do understand what your asking . The confusion is WHY ...

That is pretty much it. Commonly I see it as "reverse tethering" where someone wants to use the computers internet connection on the phone via USB connection. Due to lack of wifi/cell data connectivity, or to save data on their plan.

Yeah. Like espionage724 said, his SGT7 had it. I'm not entire sure, but I've never heard of stock android having this ability. I'd be willing to bet that the manufacturer put it in themselves.
Moral of the story: do your homework before buying.
I guess it would be useful if your wifi router was down so you could use your PC's internet access.
If implemented properly is should be faster for LAN file transfers (assuming you get good usb transfer speeds...obviously a PC on a gigabit LAN will crush wifi, so the usb 2 is the limiting factor...usb 2 is supposed to be a lot faster than wifi, but in practice, it does not always pan out).
I guess I could find a use for it. In our house 99% of the time only our tablets and phones use wifi. All of our fixed position devices are on a gigabit lan (media players, blueray player, HT recevier, wii, main PC, printer, even our laptop, which is really just the kitchen table PC now that we have a bunch of tablets). When I work from home I dock my work laptop on the LAN, and so does my wife. Wireless blows when there is a gigE jack nearby.
I've been trying to get reverse USB tether to work on the Nexus 7 with no luck
I just ordered a Nexus 4 and I am trying to figure some things about before it arrives. I do not plan to root this phone (been a root-a-holic too long; trying to stay stock for a while). With an unrooted, stock Nexus 4, can I wifi tether to my Nexus 7 tablet? I do not intend to share data through wifi tether with my laptop or desktop, but only to my Nexus 7 tablet. Will this work with a non-rooted, stock Nexus 4?

I currently use a Samsung Exhibit 4g rooted and running AOIP rom, which is 4.2.2. I have T-Mobile without paying for a special tethering option. I go into settings and turn on the wifi tethering that is part of JellyBean and I can tether to my Nexus 7 tablet just fine. If I try to tether to my laptop or a desktop computer, however, I get blocked.
All I want to do with the Nexus 4 is tether to my Nexus 7 tablet, so I am curious if this works on my Exhibit 4g rooted, with Jelly Bean, will it work with the Nexus 4 unrooted on Jelly Bean?
I think I have read that regardless of what you do, tethering to another tablet or phone works fine, but tethering to a desktop or laptop computer gets blocked unless you use some special proxy or something.

Current Verizon S3 user here. I have questions that I know are probably premature but I welcome any thoughts and answers.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
I still have the grandfathered unlimited data plan.
I have rooted and custom rom'ed my last few phones so I could have wireless tether for very occasional use (I am rural with a lot of ISP outages).
I am wondering what people think my outlook would be with a Verizon S5.
Will we be able to get root?
Will there be ports of the wifi tether type aps?
Will we be able to get bootloader access?
Would FoxFi work with it (I know they have a warning in their app about potential loss of functionality)?
While I have themed the crap out of my phones I have stayed with Touchwiz on the S3 for the most part, and the S5 touchwiz doesn't look like the worth thing in the world.
The phone has the 2 major features I look for, removable battery and external SD card.

Get Root Access? - Very Likely so yes
Get Bootloader Access - Very UNLIKELY given Verizon's position on "security" and "network integrity" which is just utter BS.
FoxFi and other apps for WiFi Tethering are always out there.
Bootloader exploit, highly unlikely. Though I'm sure it will get the same root/safestrap treament that the S4 and Note 3 both got. At least I seriously hope so anyways If it doesn't I'll be getting the New One instead.
I'm sure things will be easier this time around. I highly doubt we won't achieve bootloader unlock! IMO!

I am glad there is no 32gb model yet, since that along with Foxfi not working is why I am sticking with the S4. Not tempted at all without a 32gb model. My S4 32gb only has 6gb free.
FoxFi
The BT server for Foxfi works on my GS5v tethered to my Galaxy Note 8. I'll have to see how it performs on my laptop so I can work from my car... If it works good, I'll purchase the full version of PDANet+ / FoxFi.
I prefer to use the Wi-Fi tether (treve mod).
Hopefully a root will become available... I'd like to get rid of the bloat and crap.
Hard to say. On the S4, we still have a locked bootloader. Root is likely attainable. Stay tuned.

I can't really say. Phone had 7.0 when I got it. All android versions run together for me, tbh. They always say the new one fixes all the issues with the old one, but I can never really tell a difference. Been around since 1.6/Donut.
O alright. Well thanks for your help. Guess I'll give it a shot and hope for the best
Alright so there was one update in between the version I had and a second 7.0 that wouldn't let me do it. I'm on the one before the volume fix that I'm assuming just came out and it works. I'm not gonna do the next one as I need the hotspot feature so if someone wants to confirm on the latest then they can update the thread.
