Wi-Fi Tethering Tmous - HTC Sensation

Im running the Elengancia Blitz 2.0 rom, its ICS.
Im running the kernel that came with it.
It says free wifi tethering, and I'm not sure if I should use the HTC app, or download a 3rd party app.
So I was hoping one of you guys could help me out?
Thanks

Try the HTC app and see if you get rerouted to a tmobile web address to pay for tether. If you do just make a new apn with epc.tmobile.com in the apn field then name it whatever you want that's the easiest work around. Or there is a thread in the dev forum on a hack.

[Q] how to get wifi hotspot after rooting

I recently rooted my HTC inspire with Hack Ace and everything went fine. I want to implement wifi hotspot with out the message from att to pop up. What's the next step?
Get a tethering app. Some roms have the feature baked in.

try foxfi, its good
I tried that one an also WiFi tether, pdanet, but eather say that is blocked by HTC or get the at&t message. I haven't flashed a new Rom yet or changed anything, just rooted. My main purpose in rooting is that, tethering.

Anything?

Now this isn't a "hotspot" app per say.
But it gives you the ability to use your phone as a wifi tether.
Try, easytether.

SMS Issues Depending On Rom

I am running my Sensation on Straight Talk ($45.00 Unlimited 4G!) which runs off T-Mobile.
Some Roms will give me 100% working SMS like Sense 4.0 OrDroid with the APN settings provided by Straight Talk
However when I have tried HyperNonSense or Android Revolution with the same APN settings I am unable to receive SMS or group texts whatsoever.
Is there some sort of per rom SMS settings I need to dig through?
It's not a huge deal breaker but its limiting what rom's I want to try.
Any help would be appreciated!
Is it MMS that is not working or SMS in general?

Their is a fix for mms problems I believe I saw it in android development. Do a search and you will find it. you can flash it and see if it does the trick. Hope this helps.

Elegance sense 3.6 free wifi tether not working?

According to the ROM maker, TMOUS wifi tether is working but when i turn it on the phone, it redirects me to the Tmobile page. I also tried using third party apps like Wfi Tether, and EasyThere but same thing. I tried asking in the ROM's thread but since i haven't had any posts, i'm not allowed. So my only option was here. Thanks in advance.

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!

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

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
