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!

Works like a charm!
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!

Hey Guys, i think i should post it.
I mon OrDroid 7.1.3. Wifi-Tether dont work for me. Only with the Wifi-Tether.apk from the Rom.
(BUT) when i disable the connection, i cannot connect it again.
i have make a backup a view days ago.
so i restored my backup and go to the apk, connected and it works again, but you should be not disable it again
Friendly greets from Austria
In fact you don't need to restore your backup, just restart your beloved sensation is OK. At least it works in my case.

Hi.. Could you send me the apk. I am on the latest version of OrDroid. The wi-fi tethering is not working yet.
I'm using ordroid 9.0.0 and I found a tethering app that actually works! I'd all Its all in the settings. It's called WiFi tether! When I first tried it I thought it didn't work but I had my settings wrong. Now its a God send! It works perfectly! If you want to tether try out this app, if you have trouble with settings I can help! Before you know it you will be tethering again too ! No drivers needed is as simple as on and off once the settings Are correct ! I'm so happy I had to share this so other people can tether again too!

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.

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!

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?
And yes, if you have some special setting that I might need please let me get them... Just in case you need more info

Thanks in advanced

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

If your actually looking for help you can start by giving some info for your phone. More than " its a motorola". List phone model, what software, if its rooted or not, are you running a custom rom, if your are what rom. These details are very important without them you will never get an answer.

my phone can make a ad hoc network just fine it only has problems making a wifi hotspot. it does not matter what teathing program you use. what does it matter what phone it is? but its a motorola electrify(rooted but it did the same thing stock). my firend has the same phone it does the same thing it makes a hotspot you connect it works for a few min then disconnects the phone says no 3g then after a few sec it reconnects. if you teather using ad hoc it works fine. i have connected the phone to a nook, ipad, ipod toch, and other android tablets always the same thing the only thing that works is ad hoc. so if i can not make the note connect to an ad hoc network i can not teather
I have this on my Photon Q, and for some reason, some days it works fine, and stays connected, and other days my computer will connect to the wifi tethering of my phone, then after about 1 min it will disconnect. Its not my computer, it is the phone, the phone stops broadcasting with the tethering app.
Does anyonw know a fix for this? Yesterday i stayed connected without issue, but the day before, I fought with it all day long trying to keep it connected. I either have to restart wifi tether, or sometimes I actually have to restart the phone.
I know this i an issue with the phone, but I wonder if some setting in my computer is making the phone disconnect?
Also, if anyone has any better tethering apps, please let me know.
Have you tried an app like "KeepConnOn"?
No I will check into that thank you
I use trev e mod. So far works flawless.

I did not come up with mod. So I'm not taking credit for it. All I know is that it's somewhere on xda. A buddy of mine sent me the apks. Sprint has blocked almost all the tethering apps from market.

ah yeah, i've seen treve around before. he created some apps to identify and disable logging added in by the carriers, etc. thanks for the tip, PdaNet works well for usb tethering, but it's nice to have a wifi option too.
Here is the link to the trev mod in xda--http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
Only thing though this is the same as wifi tether for root users and i downloaded mine from the play store. The one above i believe you have to install busybox and the one from the market you don't.

I dowloaded the app from the link above. Tried changing a few setting but still no luck. Turn on the wifi tether, laptops sees hotspot, connects, but when i try to browse my carrier pops up requesting me to pay. How do i bypass this? My Photon Q is unlocked and rooted.

In the settings did you change device profile to ics/jb generic wlan0. I don't really touch to much after that and it works fine for me. Who is your carrier?

CSPIRE. It's unlimited but not video streaming wich is kinda dumb that they changed it. Thanks I'm gonna give that a try when i get home. I'm hoping to learn more about kernels so I can stop CSPIRE from blocking me.
I have downloaded the trev e mod, and so far it is working great for me. Thanks for the info and the link!
my phone stopped broadcasting its wifi when I use wireless tether trev E mod lastnight for some reason. I habe reinstalled and changed settings around and everything. Anyone know a fix for this?
Any idea why after some time (30min aprox) the tethering trev shuts down by self?
How can I fix that?

I use Barnacle for wifi tethering myself. Seems like sprint throttles the connection when the phone sleeps though, setting 'stay awake' under the development settings page might help.
