I am wondering if there is a mod out there that will let me tether my phone to my computer through the USB. I know that the oG EvO Let me do that when i used most roms, is this still under development at the moment?
Can someone please help with WiFi tether. I have a EVO LTE rooted. I have the settings set as generic ics I have mms clapping and routing fix checked. I changed the ssid and the password. I get the computers to connect but with no internet I tryed using the WiFi fix to use the stock hotspot and I got it to work for about 10 min. I also tryed Firefox still no luck please help.

Do you have access control enabled for wifi tether?if so you need to go to access control and check the box to allow traffic through a certain device when its connected.

Firefox is a browser, not a tethering app. So I can see why "you had no luck."
(From foxfi.com): *Sprint has removed FoxFi from Play Store. Sprint users must install/upgrade FoxFi from http://foxfi.com/bin instead.
FoxFi works great on my LTEvo, and it works with or without root; for many, many users I might add.

Has anyone tried any of the wi-fi tethering apps on the market with a rooted Photon? Did it work or will we have to wait for an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM?
I find tethering to be occasionally useful, but not useful enough to pay an additional $30/month.
I usually tether to a tablet so Bluetooth/USB solutions won't work.
Thank you.
I would love to know that answer.

Can you tell me if it runs in AP (Infrastructure Mode) or Ad hoc?
I had this problem originally on my evo (before wifi tether supported infra) that a lot of devices will only connect to an access point running in AP (infrastructure) mode.

It only worked on Adhoc mode. I could connect laptops and ipod/ipad but not Galaxy Tab10.1. I had to do Adhoc modification on the tab so it can connect. I hope wifi tether app gets updated to support AP mode on Photon soon.

Should have an option in the settings to make it broadcast in infrastructure mode. It may call it softap, check it out.
Could not get wifi tether to work on my rooted photon no matter which mode I used.

The software has the options, but the drivers must support it. The Evo didn't get infrastructure mode support in the drivers until 2nd 2.2 update I think.
Either, its up to the wifi tether people to update it for photon like they did for the evo.
On a rooted Photon, is there a way to enable native Android tethering, which seems to be currently hijacked by the Sprint app? Because that would provide infrastructure mode.
i think the question is, where do we request support for the photon?
Anyone having any luck with a solution?
Same problem here ... installed wifi tether on my rooted photon. Can start tethering, clients can join the network, but there's no data communication. Upload/download counters don't change and the client never gets an IP address. Anyone have any luck? I downloaded the current 3-1 beta.
Mine works fine, just downloaded it from the market. Not sure why some of your guys' isnt working.
It works, just not for the devices we want it to[read: devices that use infrastructure], such as the xoom in my case, as well as other tablets. Works great for my girlfriend's macbook though...

I've rooted the MoPho and installed the beta version of WT. I've also tried Barnacle and even the native Hotspot function in the phone all to the same result.
I can see the SSID in inSSIDER and on the network list in Win7. I select it and enter the security key but get a message that Win cannot connect.
Ideas? Am I missing a step?
After some more tinkering I found that if I turned off encryption WT beta works. It's quite slow even with a 4g connection but it works. I also tried Barnacle and the native hotspot application and they both connected but had no internet access.
Ao it looks like WT beta is the answer. Now if anybody can help get encryption to work that would be most helpful.
I haven't had any problems off the market, only device I've tried on it is an ipad 2 though

Hi I was wondering if anybody has been able to tether an evo 3d to an ipad 2 wifi. I have so far tried barnacle and wifi tether unsuccessfully as I am able to connect to the phone but there is no data being shared between the 2 devices, and hoping someone has any input as to how to fix this issue. Btw I have gotten tether to work with other devices its just the ipad I can't figure out.

Most of these devices don't have native Ad Hoc networking support, the providers do it because they want to evade not getting paid for the infrastructure mode when you use their own WiFi hotspot app
did you select router fix and eve 3d from the profile
There's not a app that Enables it?

Yea, using wifi tether you might be able to get it done with those options selected.
yes, you can do it. did it all the time when i had my iPad2...
you need wifi tether, the one that is included in many of the Evo3D ROMs.
in the settings switch device profile to evo 3d, check routing fix and MSS clamping.
disable passwords and use access control.
should work
Thanks to everybody for their input and help turns out I had everything right except in the access control I had to check off the ipad connection and that fix it. Appreciate all the help

Well stock tethering won't work without the tethering plan. For the wireless teether app in the market it won't work right out of the box, you gotta change some stuff in the settings.

Actually the one in the market won't work at all.
Goto the SOURCE and get the Beta (it's not in the Market)
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
Set Generic ICS, Router Fix and MSS Clamping
This assumes your rooted.
FoxFi works on stock. Free in the Play Store.
The market wifi tether works just fine if you change your device profile to generic ics. That's the only change i made and I've used it with a kindle fire and a Dell vostro 1500.
Getting ready to try these tips. Thanks you guyz.
Thanks. The settings above worked!
When I first got my Evo LTE 3 weeks ago I popped on FoxFi and I could connect devices no problem. However, the data speed was soooo slow that I ended up uninstalling it soon after.
Now with the update to the Evo I thought I'd try again for kicks.
Now, I can't connect any computer/device to my FoxFi connection. They can see the Wifi hotspot but only tries a few seconds to connect and then errors out.
Major bummer.
Any tips/tricks for this?
Make sure that when you turn foxfi on your wifi cannot connect to a router. If your wifi connects to a router foxfi will not transmit the right way and you will get error. Just go to the wifi settings and click forget connection on the phone and then try it. I was having the same issue and that fix it.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned, I turn off wifi before doing anything with it, so that isn't it.
have you tried a reboot? my friend's sgs3 just had the same problem and a reboot got everything in working order.
When you turn foxfi on it will also turn your wifi on to work properly. Just make sure is not connecting to a wireless router and you should be good to go. Just try it.

I keep assuming that purple would assume I tried the basics.
I rebooted. No good. I tried uninstalling any recent apps just in case, restarted. No good. I tried it with and without encryption, renamed SSID, reinstalled the app, tried with Foxfire add-INS. No good. We tried the same stuff on my buddies phone too. Button.

I have wifi off while trying all this, no possible way to be connected to a wireless router.

Even if you turn it of before starting foxfi foxfi will turn wifi on so it can transmit the data. Go to your wifi setting and click forget on the wireless connection that you currently use to connect thru wifi and then try foxfi. Foxfi will turn on also your wifi will turn on but because you took out the router out of your connections you will not connect thru the the router and fox fi will be working again. Same problem happen to me and it took me 2 days to figure it out.

Yes. I had no idea abt FoxFi bcuz I had rooted my fone but I uninstalled the root 2 do the OTA update then couldnt get the root back. So I looked on here in themes & apps & found out abt Foxfi. When I typed it n the FoxFi add on showed up n the playstore & tht gave me the link 2 go 2 the developers website 2 download the app bcuz Sprint & AT&T removed the app out of the playstore, so once I installed the FixFi app I also did the add on. In the menu settings of the FoxFi add on app it lets u hide ur mobile hotspot usage 4rm Sprint so they dont kno ur data usage on the hotspot. It works fine 4 me, I checked it 2 c if it notices it when I chk my data usage & the mobile hotspot data is 0....this is a gr8 app!!

I have rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3, mainly so I can tether. However, upon installing Wifi Tether (I tried regular as well as TrevE Mod), and entering the usual settings, I found that it does not work with this phone. Does anyone know of a way to use wifi tethering on this phone? Is TrevE going to update his app to work with the Note 3? Developers, if you are seeing this, such an app would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Wife Tether Router is working for me after rooting my note 3. Had to play around with the settings at first. Ad hoc mode works, but none of the other modes would work.

I used Chainfire's easy root method the day I got the phone and it works with no problem. Wifi Tether Router does require root, but it is confirmed working where the Trevemod that most people use does not currently work until the dev updates support.

They seem to suspect that TWRP is causing the boot loop (I haven't installed recovery yet) but I'm rooted using chainfire method and haven't had any issues with booting. But yes, rooting would be required to get around sprint's official wireless tether.

I bought Wifi Tether Router, and it works, but there are a few things I cannot stand about it. A security passcode cannot be set on an ad-hoc connection, so anyone can connect. Also, even after I tap disable, the ad-hoc connection is still active! New devices can still see the hotspot until I turn on my wifi and connect to a network.
Does this work with 4g as well?

Look like I'll be holding off until there's a secure connection. Can't stand open network.
It may not be wifi hotspot, but for a good workaround for now I'm using Pdanet+ on my Note 3 and Bluetooth tethering to my tablets using Pdanet Tablet. This creates a secure VPN connection to the tablet and all my streaming apps work fine on it. Haven't tested it with LTE yet but going to try that tomorrow.

The native hot spot works now also.
Would seem the best option to me.
The only real caveat at the moment seems to be there is no odex version so must be running a deodex rom.
Which is simple enough and an odex version should be along shortly
