Sprint Hotspot flashable zip (DI18 Eclair)

I made this flashable zip for people who pay for the Sprint Hotspot feature and their favorite rom does not include it.

why would you pay for it?

Last time I checked, mobile AP does not work on de-odexed ROMs.
Which version of wireless tether works on 4G?

I can not get wireless tether to work on 4G either.

As far as I know there is no version of wireless tether that works over 4G. If anyone knows otherwise, please post a link.

It works fine for me on SyndicateROM with the Emotionless Beast theme.

So you are saying with syndicaterom and emotionless beast theme you can connect to wireless tether and get 4g speeds? If that is the case you are a first.

Yes, the Sprint HotSpot feature works. But none of the free alternatives do.

I am testing it right now and it works I just sent this comment over 4g using the wireless tether that came with SyndicateRom... I did use my msl code a while back to remove Sprint's Proxy filter and tweaked a few WiMAX connection settings. I don't know... but that could have somthing to do with it.

Not really, I can tell a Big difference with my 4g reconnection now, but thats about it.
If you know your msl code we can change your settings to what mine are and see what happens, you might want to record your defauts on to a sheet of paper or somthing though.
Go to the Dialer and put in: ##3282#
Then Multimedia and type in your msl code and clear out RTSP Proxy Address and hit ok it should now say <Not set>
Now change RTSP Proxy Port to 0 and hit ok.
Now press the back key and go to WiMAX and enter msl code, go to Extensions and change the following settings for faster reconnection of 4g:
ScanAttemptTimeOut: 00005
ScanRetries: 00001
IdleSleep: 00300
EntyRx: -00089
EntryCINR: 00004
EntryDelay: 00001
ExitCINR: 00008
EntryDelay: 00001
ExitCINR: 00008
ExitDelay: 00300
All done Exit and If promted Reboot.

What do those WiMax settings change?

My Sprint Hotspot works over 4G (I'n not paying) and I removed the Sprint proxy also.
I will test this again on the way home from work to make sure I'm not crazy though.

Apps blocked in the Android Market by AT&T

I know that AT&T blocks customers from seeing certain apps in the market. I tried searching. Is there a list of these apps somewhere or does anyone the specific type? I know tethering apps are one area they want to keep us away from.

Dont know if this still works but it did ....... Turn your wifi off, put phone in airplane mode, then turn your wifi back on (leave phone in airplane mode so your not connected to the ATT network) and the ATT blocked apps will show up.

Try this it works for my x10 which is a fellow att phone

That actually works really well. Got to look at a few tethering apps.

Couldn't you just take you SIM card out? Using WIFI to connect to the market ofcourse

So based upon what I'm reading, the only apps being blocked by AT&T are tethering apps?

No there are a few others that are blocked. Some music apps, video apps and such.

I think AT&T is able to tell if you are tethering. Which is what they also did with Jailbroken iPhones. So be careful not to get the plan added on automatically if they find out.

Seems like its much easier to activate airplane mode, than to remove the sim card.

Just be careful when tethering, even if you check usage you can still go over and not know it! AT&T can tell by data usage as well. I agree on the Non Inspire 2.3.3 ROMs

As for the unlimited data, no idea. There was a thread here about using an iPhone 2g but I'm not sure how valid it is.

Mobile network doesn't work anymore...

Hey Sensation community !
Since 2 days my mobile network stopped working, I tried ALOT of "solutions" which I found here but all of them didn't help at all...I even flashed a new rom + fireware, radio, etc...
I used the search function before I started this thread but I only found little threads with like 3-5 replys and they weren't even usefull - even outdated.
So to be more detailed, my mobile network icon pops up nomally after turning it ON but only the upload arrow is filled which means if I open the browser or any app it won't work cause there's actually no connection to the internet.
I checked my APN which is fine. Most of the people say : Fix your APN and it should be fine. - Great -_-
Phone informations:
HTC Sensation
ROM: Android Revolution HD 6.7.2 by mike1986
Adroid 4.0.3
HTC Sense 3.6
I'd appreciate it if somebody could help me fixing this annyoing issue.
If you need some more details about the phone let me know

Nope, as I said, I even wiped my phone new rom, new firmware, new radio and new kernel.

I'm having the same issue, flashed cm9 last night, everything was fine and working then this afternoon at about 2 my phone says no service. I put the sum card in a different phone and it still didn't work. I'm T-Mobile UK but phone is normally connected to T-Mobile/orange network

Check your settings under Network/Connection settings and see if it's set to the correct network mode.

They all fine.
One more thing to say.
If I'm using "GSM only" the internet works but it's hekka slow -_- As soon as I switch to GSM / WCDMA auto "H" shows up only with the upload arrow on and the internet stops working.

Guess nobody knows how to fix this crap.... :/

I tried putting the sim in a different phone and it still didn't work. Might be a sim card issue or Tmobile are having trouble, for me anyway

2 minute phone call and everything was working again.

I can be pretty sure it's not the SIM cause I tested it on a UMTS/HSDPA Surf-stick and the internet works with it. It has to be the phone itself.

I thought CM10 had wifi tether baked in? If not, get wifi tether from the play store.

Not WiFi tether. I mean picking up the free atnt WiFi like in Starbucks..

I can't stand that feature though, because my music will cut in and out as I drive home from connecting/disconnect to the million AT&T wifi hotspots in Southern California.

That is the exact reason I have disabled it on mine (or, more specifically, never enabled it in CR). That drives me bananas.

I want this feature also but I am on MIUI.

i dont know why anyone wants this feature on. if you are near a mcdonalds or starbucks check for hotspots in wifi settings and there it is.
you could add the lines back into
/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="attwifi"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=1
}

Don't you just need to connect to the att hotspot once, and it will reconnect when you are in range?
I don't leave Wi-Fi on when not at home, or in use, so I liked that feature too on the several phones I had. But on custom ROMs I just had to connect the first time, each subsequent time it was automatic.

AT&T hotspots will only work when you are in range of one of their hotspots. Its not like a nationwide available network. Mostly its McDonalds and Starbucks. If you can't see a "attwifi" ssid in your wireless settings nothing you change in system files will let you connect.
Sent from my HOCKS
Edit: Try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.android.attsmartwifi
It has a AT&T hotspot locator. It didn't find the one in my town though, so I don't how successful it will be for you.
Edit 2: the myAT&T app also has a locator that found several hotspots in my town I didn't know about
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.att.myWireless
After you log in, more, AT&T Wi-Fi, AT&T Wi-Fi locator, and search by zip code.

Okay it shows you the available WiFi networks but it doesn't log you into the attwifi ones. On att ROMs it has that feature

But only when in range of one of them ...
Once you remember one it will do it automatically from then on.

I am in range of it. I think there is a special app on att ROMs for this capability. I will try a McDonalds to see see if it asks for login info.
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2

I'm able to connect to the att hotspots with my TouchPad just fine.
Do you mean the notification that "you may need to sign in" after you connect? I get that, and I just have to open the browser and check the agree to terms box, and click continue. It does that to me every time at McDonald's but it doesn't ask for user name or password. Even when the network was remembered it makes me agree again the next time.
Now that I am talking about it I do I remember an app on Eclair on the Captivate that would bypass the agreement part, but it was not there on the stock FroYo, or on the GS II. Is that the app you mean? When I turned on Wi-Fi at McDonalds it would show an orange notification icon and connect. But, I haven't seen that in another phone since.

That is the way it shows on ATT roms on the one x. Thats why I think its a special app in the rom not just a saved wifi connection

If there is a zip version of the stock ROM somewhere its probably in /system/app/ if there is an actual app. I can only find the exe version, and don't know how to extract files from an exe.
Anyone with a stock rooted version could check in /system/app/ for an apk with hotspot or Wi-Fi or ATT in the title.

Reboot once you have done all this and it should auto connect.

Does anyone know how to enable the functionality if using a non-AT&T ROM?

Hi sorry to bump this up but so far I haven't got anywhere with trying to figure out whether this is doable or not
I'm on Task650 and before that Paranoid. Neither of which allow me to get onto AT&T Wifi hotspots
My office building has a dedicated AT&T router which I would like to use because the cellular signal in the building is usually terrible. If I can't get this to work, I'll probably have to fall back on a Touchwiz ROM or stock. Prefer not too
Anyway, the dropbox link no longer works
And I'm unclear if the code above specifically addresses this issue or addresses something else? I'm able to see the hotspots. And I can get an IP. The problem is that it won't let me on the network. I just get a webpage where it expects me to fill in my wifi account info which never happens on stock

Positive, as long as you have ANY sort of data plan. If you're on the pay per megebyte play your screwed if you use the net at all. I've been tethering with my phones for about 3 years now on t-mobile with plans that don't allow it.

Does anybody know about using the wifi tethering for Cincinnati Bell? With unlimited data do we get away with tethering without being noticed or charged?

where did you get the app to wifi tether? I am not seeing the sprint icon that would normally be there...do i have to get the rooted wifi tether app? Can't believe there is no voicemail icon either....weird.

You can access voicemail settings when inside the phone app, just bring up the menu-->settings-->voicemail
And the tethering is (from the homescreen) menu-->settings-->more-->tethering and portable hotspot
