I hope the op comes back or someone will start working on this for 4g too. Id be willing to donate for sure!

Great stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lawr0155:
Wow I am extremely suprised how long this is taking to get 4g working. wifi tether can't have security, and this can't have 4g. Is anyone still working on this?

Does anyone have NoCiq with the HotSpot hack? or know where I can get it

nvmd: Just tried something I found and I think it works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
its posted in op or im missing question. im on a "no CIQ" rom and it works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
its ok I found my answer I do not have CWM so I was pushing it over and when I pushed over the framework.jar file it worked then I found the thread and tried to noCIQ and I lost the hotspot hack but I got it all working now... Sorry for any confusion...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
Dumb question of the day but gotta ask.

About to flash zip file and once installed and you go to the app, how can you tell if the hack is there or if you are going through official sprint and incurring their monthly charge?

Thanks,

Ian B

Ok, flashed zip and phone rebooted, got the media card scanned message at top, showed home screen with apps and the phone rebooted over and over to this same starting point and home screen. Had to restore with my back up to get phone back to normal. Running gingerbread.eg30 and kernel 2.6.35.7-lost kernel+ .

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
First test it now without the hack, then test it again after the hack... check out the difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
Thanks but had already flashed when I saw your response and had to go back to my back up. See what happened.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
without the hack if your not paying for the hotspot the program will disable itself after 10 seconds or so and say something like.

you don't have this service call your provider to add this feature.

something like that.

withoutr it it just doesn't work if your not paying for it is the point neway :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
MJ;

Thanks for the response. I tried what you said, I assigned a network name and the password was my phone number. I hit the sprint hotspot activate button and tested wifi with my ipad and got tethering working to ipad. Next, I called Sprint customer service and asked if I had hot spot on my epic just to see if they could tell the hack showed in their system. She stated I do not have in my plan and I asked if I could activate on my phone or had to call. She said the price is $30.00 per month and I had to call to activate. I said ok, thanks and hung up.

My question is, did the flashed zip file hack worked even though I restored back phone before I flashed the hot spot hack zip file??

Thanks,

Ian B
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Ok I may have lost you there for a second and I understand your concerns but the one thing I can tell you about xda is that, if the hack caused any issues at all on any rom anywhere in xda you would of heard about it by now. The hack is ok and if its a problem just download wireless tether off the web. I am running both with no issues, once again "My question is, did the flashed zip file hack worked even though I restored back phone before I flashed the hot spot hack zip file??" best thing to do is simply try it. Like it was said earlier you will get a message stating you dont have hotspot if it did not work.

Not sure if you are familiar with adb but it is what I used to put this file on my phone and it worked flawlessly with no reboot issues... Give it a try if flashing causes a problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
Does anyone have any idea how this hack works?

As you've probably seen in the general forum, Sprint has now instituted a 5GB cap on tethering for people that buy the tethering plan. That means Sprint can somehow tell the difference between traffic generated by the official hotspot program and ordinary traffic from our phones. Has this hack done anything that prevents it from reporting to Sprint as hotspot traffic on our plans that don't have the hotspot add-on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
That's a good question. I'd like to know this also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyedream:
i copied over the framework jar to the system/framework then used cwm to clear dalvik and i reboot and it won't reboot...it stays at first screen samsung galaxy sII gt i9100... what should i do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icexige:
I'd like to know this also. Since sprint is going to start charging overage fees, they must be closely monitoring our data usage via hotspot app. After reading the post above, it seems that as long as you have not called in to activate the hotspot svc, sprint may exclude us from their overage monitoring list? At least thats what im hoping because ad hoc tethering isnt friendly with other devices that i own.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
Thanks playya:

All I was trying to say is that the hack must have stuck and works even though I restored back to my set up before I flashed the hack since it threw me into a loop. I understand that if you flash something and you restore, whatever you just flashed gets wiped as if it never happened.

I am not saying that the hack does not work, don't get me wrong but it is odd that I flashed back to my back up and the hot spot still works. I gave the network a name, type my phone number as the password and voila, I can tether and love it.

Great hack OP.

Thanks,

Ian B
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
No problem but if any of you guys are worried just use the wifi tether app in the market or I also use the nook Bluetooth connect app as well. There are options other than the hack if it worries you.

I odexed this hack.. Someone with a stock odexed Rom please try this

Tried 3 different ROMs, all deodexed (including the one in the OP post, Starburst, and Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4) and I get nothing.

Once I replace the framework.jar file, I reboot, wipe Dalvik, then boot.... once I get the ROM starting to load I got into a boot loop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
Look at my posts 104, 105 and 110 to see if my problem was what you encountered? After I restored to my previous backup, the hot spot hack is there and working.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steelersmb:
Same thing happens to me. Trying with Starburst ROM and just get stuck in a loop.

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

After getting stuck in a loop, I went into recovery, wiped everything including the data, reflashed the ROM and now the Sprint HotSpot is there and it's working without being in a loop. Strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Stop, this hack is already included in the starburst rom by default.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aviris:
Yeah, it works in starburst
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geomatiq:
if we could only get the 4g working would be effin awsome!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ipimpgarland:
I am in a 4G area for most of my free time and am willing to donate my phone and time to get the 4G hack to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 22350:
Can someone explain this to me? Not trying to cause trouble, I swear.

I have the zedomax kernel, with the tether app, and the 4g tether works fine.

Why would you want the sprint hotspot, without 4g??

I just see some rom's, with this hack and I am worried about using them, because I don't want to loose 4g tether.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
The upside of this is that it lets you tether in infrastructure mode, as if your phone is a router. Many devices such as tablets can't tether to the type of hotspot the tether app makes, which is ad-hoc mode.

The downside of this is that:

(1) it is very likely Sprint can see us doing this and note that we're breaking the contract in using a hacked version

(2) it is only 3G and

(3) it either breaks overscroll or breaks browser scrolling depending on which file from OP you use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ipimpgarland:
And in AP mode Windows will automatically connect to the network. In ad hoc (which is what wifi tether does) it does not (at least not in 7). Might not sound like a big deal, but this can get annoying if you use it everyday.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] icexige:
Do we have a confirmation on this? I prefer infrastructure over ad hoc but if sprint somehow knows that im using hotspot hack and starts charging me then i just have to go back to using wireless tether app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
We don't have any direct confirmation, which is why I just said very likely.

Sprint announced that it is limiting mobile hotspot usage to 5GB but keeping unlimited for phone usage, so it's obvious that the built-in hotspot must be reporting to Sprint when it's being used.

I asked in this thread how this hack was done, and whether anything was done to disable this functionality. However, the OP seems to have disappeared, so no answers are forthcoming.

This hack was developed before the reporting to Sprint functionality became known. Therefore, I'd say it's very likely that this hack is not invisible to Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I am not saying your wrong but with the amount of people in the OG Evo forum that probably destroyed that hack. I would of assumed somebody would of said something by now. Once again not saying you are wrong but for those who ask this question over and over please know the risk as in anything else you do is on you. Nobody at least to my knowledge has complained or started a thread that I know of in ref to being charged.

Like I said between this hack, wifi tether and pdanet they are getting hammered and still not a peep that I have heard of so far. It just may be Sprint trying to re-coup money from what ever end they can and the Hotspot people are just getting the short end of the stick right now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
I emailed necrosan at his donation address a week ago... Still nothing. We have people willing to make 4g happen if necrosan would give his blessing.

Maybe if I make a small donation he will come out of the woodwork hehe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Hey if you know someone who can make 4g hack happen then go for it....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VeEzyZ32:
Does the hotspot hack refer to the usb tethering or this something different?

I am using the Starburst 1.9 rom if that matters
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
its in that rom already I believe just fire it up and test it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VeEzyZ32:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6400726/e4gt-nociq-signed_hsh.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Thanks. I figured I'd just install the framework, but with the zip, now I get No CIQ which is a plus.

My pc recognized the Hot Spot, connected, then lost connection.

My 3G has been down for the past 2 hours, and I've been using WiFi.

I'll have to wait till my 3G is up and running, and then check out the HSH again.

I know the HSH is installed properly by the message I received in CWM, but is there an indication that I'm under the radar so to speak, or is it faith that the connection is secure from sprint?

Thanks

Update: It appears that you have to call sprint to add Hotspot to the acct.

So no call, and yes to HHS = Good to Go!

@ Necrosan

I thought the Freddy Mercury message which was pretty cool, and I got a laugh from seeing the message. Happens to be one of my Favorite Artists, one of, if not, The Best to Ever Exist! Also the Sprint message was a nice touch.

Thanks much for the HSH, and I hope to be using it soon, once I get my 3G back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
My pc is recognizing the Hot Spot, But will not connect.

I have no idea why, as my pc can connect to other wireless routers I have.

I had the same issue with android wifi tether. My pc would recognize android wifi tether, But would not connect.

I'm uncertain if both issues are related.

I probably am the only one whose SE4GT won't wirelessly tether to my pc.

I'm connected now with a different wireless router in the area.

Any ideas are appreciated.

UPDATE:

I AM CONNECTED!!

I deleted SPH-D710636 from my wireless network on my pc, and added it back again.

And it Worked.

Really happy, and thanks again ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bds120:
Yep just takes a long time to connect the first time. I was definitely mad and accidentally left it on and after like 15-20 minutes it finally connected. Now it connects quickly without any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Yeah, but my connections kept timing out, so I don't think leaving leaving HHS on would have helped.

Gotta tell 'ya though, after spending many hours trying to get android wifi tether to work over the past few days, without success, I was Elated to see HSH Connect :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
I used this hack on the OG Epic with no issue and no notice from Sprint on my bill. To my knowledge and how it was explained previously, this hack tells the app not to ask Sprint servers for authorization to tether. I believe this also keeps it from reporting to Sprint servers that it is being used. I don't believe noCIQ ROM's make a difference but I don't use any others and I still have no issues. I do a lot of usage on this hack and it doesn't cause problems. I stream netflix off it to my Xoom as well as to my netbook. So far so good. Unfortunately I heard a rumor that necrsoan will not be developing this for 4G to work so hopefully someone can continue the work. Maybe cross referencing the OG Epic hack will help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s0cal:
this will really suck if he does not make a 4g hotspot. currently im using wifi tether and it sucks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
The issue seems to be that people are willing to make it happen using what necrosan has started but cant get permission to do so as he has dissapeared since the beginning of october.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So I read recently that Sprint is limiting their hotspot access. Does this hack get around that? I would like to use my unlimited data, in an unlimited manor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
From what I have read, it would appear so, as this Hack does not ask for Sprint permissions, as the Hotspot does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So what free app do I use to turn this thing into a hotspot? I already dropped the jar into /system/framework and cleared dalvik cache.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
He doesn't have 4g so its not really a priority for him. He can't test etc. Someone else will most likely have to make it happen. There were a group of us on the OG Epic that were his testers.

Jersey represent! Born in Hackensack. Ok, I need to focus on getting Necrosan back to updating this. Its all we are missing. I guess I have been lazy about it because I pay for Hotspot and use it daily on 4G but that should be more incentive for me to contact people....ok, I am going to get to hitting some people up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donp2700:

You would have seen a pop up saying you need to contact Sprint, if the Hotspot was not working.*As for charges, Trust & Faith, as there are no charges once you are connected using the Hacked Hot Spot, as you are now as cloaked as a Romulin Spacecraft ;)

Hi guys,

I bought 1 month ago Momax 2700 mAh battery for my I9000 and am delighted:

With the battery came a case which is very practical, however, I lost it.

Does anybody know where I could order only the case?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panamamike:
I've been struggling with the SK17 picture quality. I've been very underwhelmed, the nr is very heavy handed and in general even under the best light conditions produces low quality pictures.

Then it dawned on me, there must be a picture fineness setting. Meaning, how much detail do you want the camera to capture. I had this thought after reviewing a number of pictures. None of them are greater than 1MB in size. A high quality jpg image will be up to 1.5MB in size.

Maybe Sony could add a fineness setting for the jpg capture?

A few other things I've found just by obervation.

Lowest ISO looks to be 64

Highest ISO 800

fastest shutter 1/1250

Note, not the easiest thing to get these values, as EV and sports mode need to be engaged.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] irumbustalin:
this is the worst ever camera phone i ever had. videos are lacking in detail. we don't know if it will be rectified in the coming 2.3.4 update?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
Yeah, not the best camera for non-bright conditions.

I installed an original gingerbread camera for some other Xperia device with the same sensor but modded to work for Mini Pro. And took some shots for comparison with the highest quality settings (Super Fine) on the original one. File sizes were about 30% larger but with no very little to no differences so i stuck with the Sony's one.

They're coming up with some camera tweaks for new update so maybe they'll manage to improve this aspect although i doubt it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panamamike:
I hope they can come up with some improvements. Hopefully software can get better quality. The picture quality is even poor with very good lighting.

Something to note, the lens is rather small, I compared it to the C905a Exif data. the C905a is outfitted with a 6mm lens, the one in the Minipro is 4mm. That's a 33% difference in size!

I don't know the size of the W580i lens, it didn't come out in the EXIF data.

Mike
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sulkie:
Maybe im not a demanding camera user but daylight photos look good enough for me, although they probably can be improved via software.

Only thing that i'd like to see improved is low light photos but i dont think software can help much there. Its much more dependant on sensor size.

We'll see.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panamamike:
You're right, at the end of the day it's the sensor size/quality.

I'm assuming the camera is doing a lot of internal processing. NR as well as compression. Hopefully, they can do something about reducing both.

As you say, if the sensor isn't up to the task, it won't matter.

Mike
