Patched Sprint Wifi Tether

Hey, i cant find where i saw this mentioned, but one of the dev roms had a sport listing not only a WIRED tether patch, but also a WIRELESS TETHER patch using SPRINTS hotpot app.
I have no end of issue with the 2.05 wifi tether apps, etc. I really like the sprint/htc one, anyone know where to download the patched version? Been searching but cant find it.
Please don't recommend the android wireless tether app, as said previously I dont like it and it doesn't work reliably.

I might be wrong but i dont think therebis a wireless tether patch. Only wired usb.
The wireless tether app on the market works just fine plus his latest version on the google code page.
Juat google "wireless tether for root users" or wireless tether for htc evo and you will see a link for the authors google code page.

Ah. I know what you need. A simple patch. Search for Calkulin's mods. He has a usb and wireless tether authentication patch that will solve your issue on usb tethering and the hot spot app. All you do is download it and flash it through recovery. If you need it and can't find it Pm me and I'll send it to ya
Sent from my beast Evo

Flash this through recovery and you are good to go. The only problem is you can't tether your 4g connection, only 3g.

The easiest fix for hotpot is warm tow point two rom
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

That url fixes the hot spot. And no. you don't just need warmtwopointtwo to fix this. Calkulin's fix is for ANY froyo ROM.
Sent from my beast Evo

SO why would i want to patch Sprint wifi tether if "wifitether" allows me to share data through 4g and this patch only 3g? I am just asking?

Well. Alot of people, including me experience what I call the fading effect where the broadcasted network disappears. As well as other issues that go on for days. Lots of people with this patch using Sprint's app have lots of less struggle. With the same performance. Without 4g is a little sacrifice seeing that most people willing to give it up just don't have it. Soooo.... That's why

Caulk's does not fix wifi hotspot... it is a usb tether fix only.
per his very own thread. USB Tether Patch... not USB/Wifi Tether Patch
if it does fix the hotspot then maybe you should tell him to update his description of the fix and thread because he states usb only.

I cant get "wired tether" to work. "wireless tether for root users" works good. i installed the apk that was posted earlier and that was version 1.2 . That geave the kernel not supported error. i then installed version 1.4 from http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
I go no error message this time. I used unrevoked to root my phone before installing these. I assume its the unsupported kernel but im not sure b/c i dont know if the kernel really has wat it needs or not. I would think it does b/c the built in sprint wireless/wired tethers prolly have to use it as will, or these tether apps might be doing it differently i dont know.

personall I like the native wired tether for android users. I never have a problem with it. I have 4g and it works. Must be rooted. As far as wifi I don't use it soooo....

There's a few, try pdanet. Google "june fabrics".

I use Barnacle, it works great

Why don't you use the stock htc app with the fixed APN (wap.cingular....) ?

If you are already rooted you can use a wifi tether app like Wireless Tether, you don't have to mess with PDA net (PDAnet is great if you are not rooted). I tried Barnacle but had trouble getting my Mac to join the adhoc network it creates. Rather than mess with it too much I put on Wireless Tether and it worked Great.

If you are rooted you do not need any program for tether.

Use the referenced APN and you will have tethering available......

I second the wireless tether especially if you have your unlimited data still. Its stupid to pay for it twice
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

If rooted it also works to remove all entitlement apns from the APN database in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

Do you think there will ever be a wifi app that does not require rooting. I had to downgrade back to pda.net. It works but I already miss the wifi app I used for years on WM 6.5.

I believe most custom roms allow tethering without adding it to your plan.
I asked about coredroid in another thread, and I got conflicting reports though.

If you are already rooted, just flash a custom ROM. then you don't need an app and you will also have a hotspot. My favorite is Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 but if you want to keep Sense UI, try Android Revolution HD or CoreDroid or some other Sense based ROM. And Congrats on your escape from under Steve Jobs's thumb =D

The APN method someone mentioned allows wifi tethering without root.

yes by changing the APN you can enable wifi tethering without root , ive done it many times on un-rooted phones ,just dont use it to much or it will be noticed and good ole at&t will add the package (not sure about other carriers)

Have you tried to forget the connection on your laptop and then re-establish the connection with your phone?

I have been using wifi_tether_v3_0-pre14.apk go into your settings and Change Device-Profile to "HTC Evo 4G" and also click the checkbox for "Routing fix" using those settings is what I have set for it to allow you to use Wifi Tether using an infrastructure connection instead of the ad-hoc connection it defaults to so it shows up to your computer just like any other access point would or the default wifi tether app on the phone that will cost money soon.

After installing the MR2 planejane ROM I was doing the de-bloat and came across an app called TetheringGuard2.1.0 or something like that. I think Verizon is really trying to screw people over. There are various articles around also stating that the Gingerbread update will have safeguards built in order to prevent people from using tethering applications. I simply removed this stupid app using Titanium Backup and Wireless Tether seems to be working just fine for now...

Wireless Tether through Infrastructure (Not ad-hoc)

A reboot as ALL that was needed to solve my issue.
Make sure you've got a ROOTED phone.. Mine was rooted, running this kernel, and this ROM..
Download Android Wifi-Tether 3.2 Beta2 apk
Install it
Run it
Menu-Settings
Change Device-Profile
Select Samsung Fascinate
Change Setup-Method
Select Softap for Samsung (Master)
Back to main screen
Start Tethering
Voila! You have infrastructure mode tethering, instead of adhoc which is the usual deal. THis is important to folks like me, who run honeycomb tablets like my Asus Transformer, or the Xoom, and need infrastructure wireless networks to tether to.
edit: updated new tether app.

I use wireles tether and it works fine for me its adhoc and I posted it somewherr in here hang on.
Hete it is works like a charm http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...ireless_tether_2_0_8-pre1.apk&can=2&q=Generic

Hey folks. I'm running the Charge, with imnuts' kernel, and the latest gummycharged ROM... I have been searching and searching for a solution for my issue.
I've got an Asus Transformer, which will not see ad-hoc networks without a root itsellf, which i am loath to do...
I came from the Droid, and the Droid 2, where I coulld tether via bluetooth, however this is not the case with the Charge. I'm sure that the only reason we havent got an infrastructure mode available yet is because its stilll available for free through the stock app, but is anyone working on this currently? Its an issue we will all have to face at some point... I'd rather do it sooner rather than later.
And before anyone asks, I have tried the wireless tether 3.0 pre14 apk set for the Fascinate. It doesn't work, just sits at "Please wait while starting..." forever...

And are you actually changing the "setup-method" from WEXT to Softap for Samsung, or keeping it on auto when you change device profiles?

awesome. works. thanks.

I will say this though, there is no need for infrastructure mode, if you just root your asus transformer with the new Prime 1.5 ROM and kernel, and also have your charge rooted. I'm using the gummycharged rom on my phone. Its unbelievably fast and very stable.

I'm not trying too flame here but if you are trying to connect a device that doesn't support ad-hoc then you need infrastructure. +1 on the sticky but I an having some issues with the program itself like hanging up or not connecting that sometimes requires a reboot. Thanks for the post!

I'm new and can't post links, but google "android wifi tether" and you will find the google code host with the app.
Newer 3.0 version was released and the older one was removed. Steps still work on Beta1 release. Thanks OP!
Don't enable access control, it doesn't work and it bugs out the program and only way I could get devices to connect again was to clear data in app manager and redo my settings at next relaunch.

If you change the date temporarily back to may sometime to get the stock app to open, adjust your settings as needed. Change the date back to auto and download elixr from the market. Create a 1x1 widget, tap the x, select wireless ap, and create.....watch the magic happen and as far as I know its infrastructure.

You can do that Airsushi. It wont be perfect though. I am running an Asus Transformer that runs Android 3.1, and I rooted it and installed the patch to see ad-hoc. Now I use the standard tethering and have no issues with tethering. Its much more stable than trying to use infastructure mode on the charge.
But for ease, this method is much less complicated. but less stable.

Thanks op. Works great

[HOW-TO] Get wifi-tether working on Charge

All,
Not sure if this has been discussed previously or not but if you would like to get wifi tethering working in infrastructure mode on the Charge follow the steps below. Some people are claiming that Verizon is monitoring 3rd party wifi tethering and will bill you for that usage. So use at your own risk.
1. Follow the steps here to root your Stock EE4 image to root. I chose not to install one of the ROMs yet and I am using imnut's PBJT non-OC voodoo kernel.
2. Once you have root (verified by the Superuser app appearing in your Applications). Install android-wifi-tether 3.1-beta2. This app can be found here (need to allow external sources).
3. Once installed open the Wireless Tether application and go to Settings. Change the device profile to "Samsung Fascinate" and you should be good to go from that point.
Happy tethering.
One thing I am uncertain of is this "hotspot_event_monitor" driver that is loaded. djp592 discusses a kernel mod here that removes this driver but I could not find an explanation of what it does exactly. Anyone know?

What is your source that VZ is NOT using their DPI boxes?
Oh wait, they do already, otherwise they would have the near-real-time data usage up on their website.
I would presume it's more the actual packet, as it would look much different between a DC and your laptop. There are many other methods that a DPI can use to figure it out. Also most wifi tethers are using nat, so mac address based makes no sense.

ok, then more to the point, has anyone actually had their data throttled or received charges on their bill?

No, and I Wi-Fi tethered moderately on my Droid 1 since its release date (first with wifi-tether and then Barnacle when it came out because I like Barnacle better), on Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread.
And now I still tether on my Droid Charge with Barnacle and we don't see any extra fees. Of course, I just switched to the Gingerbread leak, so we'll see what happens.

I would like to add that after step 3 I had to change the setup-method to softap for samsung (master) i think this step is important to tether with infrastructure. It works fine on GB 2.3.4 running humble 2.1

That must be a Gingerbread thing. I am running stock EE4 ROM and "Auto" worked just fine.
One thing I did run into is that after turning off tethering you need to may need to cycle the wifi adapter to be able to associate to a wifi network.

Can you elaborate why you think 2.0.7 works better? On the Charge 2.0.7 seems to only support ad-hoc tethering.
The reason I went down this path is not for tethering per-se but just to be able to create a WPA network between my phone and laptop. Ad-hoc networking only supports WEP.
I wonder how verizon is conducting the monitoring? Are they just looking for your wifi adapter going into master mode? Or actually looking for evidence of tethering (i.e. iptables, dnsmasq)?

I doubt this. It is highly unlikely the tethering app rebroadcasts PHY-layer information. Far more likely is it retransmits L7 information. It is acting as a router, after all.

I will just say what's in the public realm. Try somewhere like dslreports and see what people are saying. There are a lot of posts from people that sound like they are absolutely sure it's sandvine.
If that is true, and you know what they are capable of, you know that it's not anything "on the phone".

Thanks for this, was wondering what I had to do to get it running in infrastructure.
If Verizon slows me down or tries to charge me for tethering, I'm just going to sell the phone and pay the ETF. I got the phone new for REALLY cheap, so I could probably make enough from it to not only pay the ETF and cover the cost of the phone, but come out on top by 20 bucks or so.

i know that on my iphone which im usuing for sh*** and giggles, i have a hack that makes apn adjustments that mask the tethered usage so Verizon cant tell that im using the phone to tether. to them it just looks like normal browsing. is there not an adjustment like that for android?
i for one have been tether for free on my droids for years and never had any issues. but on the flip side i never used more than 5gb tethering either....

I recently updated from 2.0.1 which was reasonably reliable on my Charge to 3.1 beta6 and have had no issues. Connecting via the setup as described in this post and connecting via infrastructure with WPA2 encryption. Can't beat it.
