I came from the evo and I remember there being a hack that would let you use the sprint hotspot for free instead of wireless tether, is there a way or a fix in the making for this, cuz I prefer that app over the wireless tether app. Thanks!

You can't use 4g on the Sprint HotSpot App? Why do you prefer it? (I've never used it..)

Speaking of Wireless Tether... I notice the setting in there for security (wireless encryption) but I can only turn it on or off, not select the type (i.e. WPA2) Am I missing something or is it just automatic selection?
Its like that and you can't change it..I'm not sure if the updated experimental version has it or not..its on their website if ya wanna check it out

So, was anyone ever successful in modding the sprint hotspot app on a rooted stock rom?

It only allows you to use WPA/WPA2-PSK as the encryption method. Personally I think the wireless tether is a pretty good app, In addition to the encryption it gives you the option of using Access control, to deny or allow connections to the phone.

anyone know of a way i can do this without rooting??
Unfortunately not at this time (hopefully with stock froyo). The best you can do is WIRED tether with PDAnet wired tether app.
If you want wifi tethering use PDA Net.

Are you on crack? Trying to defend your incorrect statement by saying its still wireless? You specifcally said wifi tethering, to use the "wireless" you need to use the very few and limited bluetooth enabled devices or some kind of add on.
wifi specifically means WLAN devices based on IEEE 802.11, which is not supported.

First of all, don't drag me into your drug addictions. My first post said wifi and when I saw this, I went back in to edit it to say wireless and I thought the save took. So when you commented me back, I went off of what I thought was there.

"Wireless Tether" works, its not hard to find that app.
Wired tether works without an app, just go to settings > wireless and networks > tethering.

I'm pretty sure 2.0.5 pre14 should work fine?
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
There is no solution for infer-structure tethering on Froyo yet..unless someone modifies the MobileAP app to make it work with Froyo..the person who made it work for 2.1 will not do updates for leaked builds...
I can confirm that the latest wireless tether (pre14) works fine on DK17
I can also confirm that Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre14 works on my Epic running Epic Experience 2.0.0.01 (DK17) where Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.2 (the one available in the app market) did not before.

Wired tether...is that the sprint tether? Like will it go on my bill? or does it bypass sprint
can i use PDAnet on EB01 or will i get caught
I would think you would be fine. Issues, I believe, are with wireless tethering. PDAnet needs your USB plugged in. I could be wrong, though!
try it and see...
You dont need it w eb01. Theres a usb tethering option in network settings. Used it last night without error. I did however type **usbui in the key pad, change to modem, use qpst to verify @dun.vzw was removed

I'm rooted. I cannot figure out a decent tethering solution. The stock version will not let me tether even though I'm rooted running greyblur. I've tried the wifi tether app and it never connects. I'm currently using barnacle but it seems to run really slow. Always under 1.0 mbps while my atrix alone is at 2-3mbps. What is everyone's tethering solution like?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
And you have switched the APN in the network settings to the "Tether" one?
PDANet (on marketplace) should work as wired tether regardless.
Use Barnacle tether... its better than adding the Tethering APN. Download it from somewhere and then sideload it.

As far as I know, the only thing AT&T can see is your data usage. They'll go after you if your data use is suspicious or something. You have to use the "Tether" APN in order to have the wireless tether feature on the phone work at all without a plan.
Try WiFi Tether. Works same as Barnacle. Download .apk and install.

If you have Limited Data then they can catch you easier. If you have unlimited its a little harder from what Ive hear. Plus using WiFi tether or Barnacle Tether is safer than using a new APN.

You don't need to change to tether APN to use Barnacle or WiFi Tether. Its not just data usage they see with using APN. This has already been discussed in another thread.

Nothing to do with data plan. They can see you are taking an extra "hop" so to speak when tethered using APN method. It can be faked out, but more trouble than its worth.

oooor you could just use Barnacle
In your APN settings, under the 'APN Type' heading it should read 'default'. Modify this to 'default,tether' without a space. Then turn wifi on. Wait a sex. Then turn on wireless hotspot/tether. Worked like a charm for me.

Care to share that article? I'd like to read it
Also, what I meant before was that you needed to change the APN in order to use the built-in tether feature, not a tether app ^^
I believe he is talking about TTL or Time to Live on packets. if your phone sends data back to AT&T it will always have the same TTL attached to the data packet, lets say 64 which means in 64 'hops' the packet will be discarded as undeliverable, if you tether to another device, the hop will be one less because it will go 64 from the computer/tablet/tethered device to the phone, reduce by one as its done one hop, then 63 from phone to the tower, if they AREN'T measuring tethers like this then they should, because its pretty productive.
all they have to do is check the data packets and watch as everything is 64 then suddenly 63's are coming through without a tethering plan. -caught them-

Wired tether 1.4 works for me, except on linux - even though it appears that stock attempts to use rndis (dmesg on my linux box shows that it momentarily recognizes a rndis device), it doesn't work the same way that Rodderik's rndis support worked in his EC05 kernel... windows auto-detects it just fine, though

Hotspot hack isn't as nice
I like keeping track of how much data I use while tethering. Wired and wireless tether lets me do that. Playing MW2 and BF3 over 3G is data intensive, so I like to keep an eye on it. Plus, those are things the Sprint knows wouldn't be coming from the phone normally, so limiting their data use would be a good idea.

No can do. The PC doesn't have wireless. Plus it's nice to charge the phone and only use one radio at a time instead of the big drainer of EVDO and Wifi going full bore.
