Just wonder if this or this article will answer your question.
Also note if you are using custom ICS ROM with Sense 4.0 WiFi tethering might not work.

I'm running eye candy aokp Rom.

It should work on your device then. Never tried this ROM, but my guess that the same instructions as for stock ROM could be used.

Hi I'm running eye candy and confirm wifi tether works great with this rom. Its a matter of settings. Settings go like this., make sure and power off phone and pull battery put back in before you start to tether each time. Settings are routing fix checked, disable wake lock, channel 11, set up wext ad hoc checked, device profile generic ics, dns,8.8.8.8,lan 192.168.2024,transit power disabled. Your set.if it starts with a error power off pull battery put battery back in power on you are good to go.! Do the battery every tethering session. I hope this helps you. Works like a charm. Its a simple free app at the playstore called wifi tether. I use it daily with the eyecandy rom. Best wishes and happy tethering!

vpn ? where do you get that app from i look up in google play but there is a lot of ones ?

Wi fi tether works if you get settings correct settings also you have to do. Battery pull at the beginning of every tethering session. Settings Are as follows., check tethering and routing fix , disable wake lock, check set up wext ad hoc make sure that's checked, use device profile generic ics , DNS 8.8.8.8
Lan.192.168.2024, transit power disabled. If it started with a error just turn off power, pull battery, put battery back in, turn on power and you will be tethering ! This is for WiFi tether app. Hope I've helped you! Let me know

no wifi tether does not work i have tried those settings before somebody already told me that but did not worked , thx anyways i got it working with vpn finally that really works .........

Just make a new APN in Settings and point it to epc.tmobile.com. Then use the APN, five minutes or so later you should be able to tether without issues. Yes, you already have a epc.tmobile.com APN but we need to make a new one that doesn't have that admin property.

I tried Vipers Rom but it is not working for me only VPN worked for me ....

search in google about free tethering with ics
well it is said that ICS update will disable the free tethering for t-mobile.
I would post a link to the article, but the forum wouldn't let me yet since I'm a new user D:
T mobile said they will start charging extra $14.99 per month if you choose to use the hotspot option on your sensation that runs on ICS.
I was hoping to find out if custom rom will help in such situation.
However, I've heard that there are lots of issues rooting a phone. starting with security something.....
I've never rooted my phone before. So I'm kinda scared to root it then voiding the warranty.
I would like to keep my warranty if you know what i mean ;]

I, too have been killed by the ICS update.
I have the HTC Sensation 4G.
So would you post what you put in for the VPN settings?
Be gentle, please, I don't know anything about this stuff.
PS: I do not want to ROM my phone since it's still under warranty.
Thanks in advance.

Sweet!

I was researching how to root my Sensation 4G due to the tethering issue when I came across this post. Worked smoothly though there was a glitch that the SSID defaulted to "AndroidAP" and went unsecured. Nothing I did could fix it till I reset to the previous image and then recreated the the new APN. Its now working perfectly fine...
I was so happy, I registered here on XDA just to thank sshede!
Love ANDROID.. Take that Tmo! And thanks sshede!

ATT ics 4.04 updated.... now wifi hotspot won't work!

Okay updated my skyrocket ATT phone to ICS 4.04 last night with their legit update from ATT. Now my wifi tether does not work! That is all I use for internet and the main reason I bought this phone. When I click on the app to start tethering the phone hangs for 1 minute, errors message saying settings has stopped working and then everything closes.
Suggestions?

Yes use a custom rom then you get the best of all worlds low bloat and tethering turned on and maybe smoother.

Thats what I was thinking but was trying to be lazy this time. I will have to go read up on the current ROMS. You suggest one over the other?

ICS 4.0.4 Hotspot
I am having the same issue with the hotspot mode. When i go to enter the menu from settings it locks up for about a minute then crashes. I did some reading and found this was an issue with 4.0.4 for some Sony phones. What they found was that they were missing APNs after the update.
The only APN i see on my phone now is the Default PTA and I seem to remember having 2-3 APNs on 2.3.5.

Well sky-ice 4.2f6 is a very nice and its based off of att official rom and seanzscreams does a rom right.

Hello All,
Don't know why, but mine works fine with no modifications.

Actually I found a fix for it. Install and run Wifi Hot spot & USB tether lite from svtp and that causes Tue stop hot spot to work again.

T-Mobile tethering question on the sensation 4G

Is it possible to use a third party app like the one that my friend used on his sprint ego 4g called tether in other to tether with with his tablet?
Is there an option like this that I can use in order to bypass my T-Mobile hold on my nuts.
Cause I'm paying $120 already I don't wanna pay $10 more bucks for 5gigsin order to tether. I think I'm already paying enough.
Can anyone help me?
Is there a way to circumvent this?
Or I'm a doomed to keep paying this bastards for more internet?

I know Bruces CM10 ROM has tethering built in and it works fine.

The answer is yes. Try Wi-Fi tether from the market. There is a way to set the settings. If you get the app and it's not working, or your having trouble with the settings, P.M. me for the settings. I did have it working well with certain settings. I've found this app works in about 3out of 4 roms. Give it a try. It's simply called Wi-Fi tether. Best wishes

Thanks for your response bro but would you mind telling me which one of these apps is it?

Hi bro sorry i yook do long to answer but ive been sick.
Well the app you sugested kind works and kind of doesnt work. Because i set the settings you suvested but when i activate the hotspot my nexus 10 doesnt find its signal so i dont think it is being broadcasted.
Can you please direct me to the rom you mentioned that has the working hotspot.
Also does anyone knows about a good jellybean rom for the sensation 4g with the working hotspot

WiFi tethering for Paranoid Android, Magic Mod, and CM10

I stumbled on this app yesterday, and it was suggested that I post it here. It's a quick easy "fix" for WiFi tethering on these ROMs. In the settings I had to tick "Skip wpa_supplicant" to get it to work, but so far so good. I hope it works for y'all.

If you go ape**** and download a bunch of data, or use it all the time, most likely they will probably catch it.

That's odd I've used barnacle in the past on other phones and it works well only I tried it on my a2 and it didn't work perhaps your using a different version?
Edit: nope same results that I got with the play store version.
Thank you though.

I don't recall having any issues with this except with my tablet detecting it after it updated to ICS. I haven't used this in a while as I have been on NUMA for over a month. I'll reinstall PA or something of the like this weekend and see if I can find an answer for you.:thumbup:
