Hi I was wondering if anyone knew of a stock ROM with tweaks for the cdma Q? I really need the built in WiFi+ USB tether, or a way I can make those features work?
I can use wifi tether and usb tether without any modifications on stock ROM. It's not a Verizon which block tether features.
I meant the ones built into settings.
Interestingly enough, GSM Photon Q doesn't tether phones: they can connect, but don't want to share packets. don't know why
That sucks. On the stock ROM?
probably only on the stock, didn't try with CM though
If you were on the stock ROM, its because you have to pay for it I imagine. I'm working on unlocking that.
Your carrier (Sprint probably) makes you pay for it. On Ting I can tether and hotspot without a problem (included in service).

Sounds promising, I'm using this stock ROM at the different 3G/UMTS provider... no data from 3G upstream. you can share wifi via BT etc though, which is meaningless at most.

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have been using the ClearDroid ROM v1.2.2 Stable with the Mod and its great. The only problem I have is the usb tethering will not work without using something like "Easy Tether lite". When I connect my Inspire 4G to my laptop and select the usb tethering option i get an error that i need to "contact AT&T to enable tethering on this device". My provider is Telstra (Australia) and prior to rooting the phone this worked ok. Is this how it should work since it has been rooted and flashed the Cleardroid rom?
I have also noticed that my Inspire has AT&T Hot Spots still running, but using ClearDroid AT&T bloatware should have been removed. Has something not worked or is this normal?

Without the AT&T hotspot app present on the device, I am not sure that users would gain access to the free AT&T wifi across the country, so I left that in there purposely. The purpose is to only add to the device's functionality, while not taking anything away that might be useful.
As for the tethering issue, you are using the stock tethering app. When AT&T updated the device to gingerbread, they locked it down hard. I am still working on how to unlock the stock app for that.
There is a second tethering app in the app drawer that has been there for many builds now, and it is guaranteed to work as it should. Use that one instead of the stock one and you will be just fine. Many users even report that they like it better to begin with. I hope this helps until I can get a real fix on the hotspot.

Sorry to revive an old thread. I was hoping there was an update on getting the stock tethering hotspot app working in Gingerbread. I've recently starting using an unlocked Inspire 4G on Ting (GSM/T-Mobile network), which allows tethering, but the stock app complains I need to call AT&T to enable tethering.
I was hoping there was a setting in the setting.db I could change, like I see described for other devices, and worked for my Nexus 5.
SVTP's wifi tethering app works great with EP4, and I was wondering if anyone has upgraded (w/FP1 modems and FP1 kernel), and still uses SVTP's wifi tethering app without any problems. There is this feeling that I have that VZW might try to prevent this in a OTA update...which is why I am asking this question.

Most likely it should work fine. I found none of the wifi tethering apps broken with Fp1.
I have the samsung galaxy victory 4g lte on virgin mobile and I want to use it to tether. I rooted it but no tether app I use is working for me. Does anyone have a working tether on this phone? If not, what are some generic tether apps/ways to get tether working?
Thanks
Well, even though this thread has no replys, I will explain what I ended up doing with the Galaxy Victory:
I originally was trying to get mobile hotspot to work with Victory using whatever app I could. However nothing worked. I then just tried to use PdaNet+ (FoxFi) USB tether and that ended up working with a regular PC. Then I just used the computer (desktop) to broadcast the network using Virtual Router Plus.
So far this has been working, but hopefully I can eventually get the mobile hotspot working directly from the phone. Although I think this might require a new kernal which I have no experience in making/modifying.
you can try easy tether.

Thanks for letting us know what you did. I have the sprint device, but have not tried any tethering apps. Also, the kernel already supports tethering but the stock tethering app and associated framework try to block tethering from another source. Thanks again and If you're interested in some mods check out AndroidForums. There are not a lot of users, but since Virgin, Sprint and US Cellular all sell this phone now hopefully more will join us. Thanks again.
Tether problems
I am using the wifi tether app with the TrevE Mod, with all the settings everyone else seems to be using and I still can't get it to work on my Virgin Mobile Galaxy Victory. Anyone have any ideas or tricks i could use to get it to work?

Tethering won't work on stock ROMs.

I thought at one point they did a while back ago?
There was some kind of NV hack for that, but you'll have to look for it yourself.
Hello
I live in the UK and am considering importing this phone (there aren't any recent slide-keyboard phones over here)
BUT is it possible to use this as a wifi hotspot? So I can tether my other devices to it?
This is very important for me but I understand that US carriers are a lot more locked-down than over here so I wonder if they've taken the function out.
Also, while I'm here, is it possible to use the bluetooth WHILE it's acting as a wifi tether? For bluetooth earphones, etc. My current phone (an aging Xperia mini pro) won't let me use both at the same time
Under the stock ROMs, you have to use a patch to enable wifi tethering. Under CM WiFi tethering works out of the box.
You can technically use wifi tethering and bluetooth at the same time, but it's not wise, at least under CM. There's some struggle right now to get 2.4Ghz WiFi and bluetooth to work at the same time under CM10.2. When both are enabled, neither run well.
The stock ROM offers USB and Wi-Fi tethering, at least on T-Mobile US; there's a "T-Mobile Hotspot" app baked-in. I haven't tried to use the hotspot with other networks, though.
Also, the T-Mobile hotspot didn't play nice with my ThinkPad T61/Intel 4965AGN combo on 32-bit Windows 7. It would never fully connect, and I actually managed to bluescreen Windows several times before giving up and using USB tethering. The same machine worked fine with Wi-Fi tethering on Linux Mint 14.
I tether my work laptop when on the go with my Relay all the time, under CM10.2. Works quite well.

If you buy this phone - do it it's great - you should at least upgrade it to CM10.2 and get rid of that T-Mobile bloatware.
Just my 2 cents
