I am friendishly warning you to NOT USE IT. It will void your contract and they will drop you. If you didnt know this before hand, you may want to stop. I love wifi tether but sadly it will end up getting me droped =/ Its in the sprint contract terms and what not
[EVO 4G General] Snarflebits:
Thanks, were you dropped?
[EVO 4G General] ReapersDeath:
Nah. Just as a noob would, im new to all this root stuff, so i looked up if its illegal or not and it is with some companys. Especially sprint.. they can tell if your using wifi tether without paying their $30 a month for wifi. They'l drop you first off lol
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
It's NOT illegal. Yes, it voids your contract, but as most people will tell you, you have unlimited data, they can't tell you how to use it.

And FYI, sprint can NOT tell if you are using wifi tether or not. To them, it just looks like regular data being used on the phone.
[EVO 4G General] mbaseball3:
Bingo! Data is data no matter which way you look at it. You can lift its skirt or drop its pants, it all looks the same.

[EVO 4G General] ReapersDeath:
Hmm ok. misread some info.. But you have to think.. they can notice.. When you go from suttle data usage to some rapid burning usage its sort of obvious
[EVO 4G General] mbaseball3:
Yes that is correct. If your a constant 1gb user every month for like a year then jump to 10gb's they'll question that. Just don't go throwing up red flags and you'll be fine. There's been threads on here with ppl being dropped only cause in their words 'I'm gonna stick it to sprint' and they go and use 20+ gb's. And you wonder why sprint sends out the we're letting you go letter

[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
As long as you don't abuse the tethering and rack up 10s of GBs of data consistently, Sprint could care less right now about whether or not people who choose to stick with them are tethering for free, as Sprint continues to lose customers.

Sprint is more concerned right now with how much data is going over the air than how people are sending it, because too much data over the air slows service to everyone.

There have been more people who have had their contracts cancelled who were paying the $30 dollars per month, but racking up enormous amounts of data (more than 10GB consistently) than people who do not pay the $30 dollars, but use tether more sparingly. In fact, there are many users right here on this site who have tethered for a long time, who Sprint has never done or said anything to.

[EVO 4G General] detcup4evr:
Speeding is illegal too, doesn't mean I won't do it on the way home. I figure Sprint told me, that my phone would connect to their advanced 4G network, as they would eventually cover most areas with it and yet now my phone will never be usable on their 4G if they get disgruntled about my tether then they let me go to VZW

Sent from my Synergized Evo with aggressive Freedom using the XDA app
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
If you read the terms and conditions, racking up enormous amounts of data (whether you are paying for tethering or not), as well as tethering for free are both violations of your contract. However, Sprint will cancel your service quicker for the excess data usage (even if you are paying the $30 per month), than they will over free tethering, because too much over the air usage slows down service to everyone, which is one of the biggest complaints about Sprint (Service being too slow).
[EVO 4G General] ReapersDeath:
Well they probably would drop you if you had like 50gigs+ every month and the only way you could do that is downloading major porn or like downloading world of warcraft 3 or 4 times lol
[EVO 4G General] Philyteach:
I've been tethering since we had what seemed like a 20 step rooting sequence using adb commands. In other words ancient history in terms of the Evo. They've never given any indication of caring, but I only tether when I need to. I've downloaded torrent sized files, but never very often. I probably use more data flashing roms from my dropbox than I ever have by tethering.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
I wonder if the can supposedly glean this info from CIQ. They do take user stats and most likely apps stats.

[EVO 4G General] The Impaler:
I personally don't use the tethering all that much. I find that it decreases my battery life by like 726237x. And I don't know about you guys, but I don't bring my phone charger with me everywhere. So.
[EVO 4G General] Kekoh:
Doesn't matter. I can't even use Wifi tethering.

My 3G speed is honestly making me think about switching to VZW, even though I wont get unlimited data. I can literally only pull 24 kB/s down (yes, 193 kbps - TERRIBLE) during the day. At night (1am+) I can pull about 1000 kbps.

I used to be able to get way better speeds, but over the last month or two it has literally come to a crawl. I only use Wifi on my evo now, i can barely use the market on 3g. I attribute this to the recent S2 and iPhone 4s. It's probably also related to my area, Southern Cali. Very populated and probably too much traffic (no 4g either... stupid.)
[EVO 4G General] ReapersDeath:
try boosting your 3g. theres a thread somewhere to do it.. it like calibrates your 3g to the best it can do
[EVO 4G General] Kekoh:
Tried searching around, no such luck for this thread. All I've come across is a some other users getting speeds just as bad as me.

Can't believe I'm paying the $10 dollar data fee per month, I could probably get a better connection from dialup.

Last month I think ispent about 20. Gigs on torrents. But I have not gotten reprimanded either. You can tether and yes its unlimited but DON'T ABUSE the system and top out at 100gigs a month
[EVO 4G General] drkknight74:
So could I abuse this to get out of my contract without paying the outrageous cancellation fee?
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
If you're lucky, otherwise I think they charge per kilobyte.

It's not illegal to tether but you are breaching your contract by doing so. It's also pretty naive to say they wouldn't be able to find out if they really wanted to.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
that's one way they can find out, AT&T is also said to look for it this way
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
That's not a 3g speed hack, it just bypasses Sprint's proxy for streaming media, which obviously will only help when streaming media. And that hack still doesnt do anything if sprint's network can only give you 100kbps.
[EVO 4G General] .Elite_The_King.:
Try Roaming. Force it with an app called Roam control if u have unlimited roaming.

Works great then whenever u want to go back to the sprint 3g just press automatic. It's what i be doing where I'm in a weak area network. Works great. On regular 3G i get around 20-79 kbps with roaming i get 320-798 kbps no need to of PRL's ur just forcing ur original PRL to roam which is what ur paying for right.
[EVO 4G General] carhauler1969:
I've had my EVO rooted for just over a year, I originally rooted it just to use wireless tether. I was at the time a paying hotspot customer. I have consistently used 10-12 GB of data every month for the last year, & have gotten no warning, or termination notice from Sprint. As a matter of fact they just let me add a fourth line to my account.

Safe to say they cannot tell how you are using data, just that you are using it. Now if you go from using 1GB a month to 10GB a month that'll throw up a red flag obviously. Being an otr truck driver has its advantages, I'm never on the same towers for more than a few hours at a time, so its very difficult for them to track my usage other than the actual amount of data I consume on a monthly basis.

how do i clear my changes if i need to return my phone to sprint

I know tethering can void warranty with sprint, so after tethering for over 1 year without prob, now I have to get my phone serviced. no red flags cause I use an avg of 2-4g of data a month. So my question is, what do i need to do before i turn my phone over to the techs at the sprint store so as not to raise any eyebrows on the rooting i have done to tether?

:cool:
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
No it doesn't. Rooting voids your warranty, not tethering.

While some people say you don't have to unroot, it's always a good idea. Whatever your problem is, they will blame it on the root and make you unroot it anyway. So just unroot your phone and return to a stock rom if you are not on one.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
I have taken my rooted Evo in so many time over 18mo and never unrooted. They appreciate you to put a stock-ish rom on it so it's not glaringly obvious, (which allows you both to play dumb comfortably).

It depends what's wrong. If its a hardware issue, they won't even look for root. (i.e. busted screen, blown speaker, cracked camera lens, faulty power button)

If it's soft or firmware related,....well, your call. But if HW related, I wouldn't sweat it.

I've had my cam lens replaced 2x, screen replaced 2x, and I think speaker was also 2x over the last 18mo. Never unrooted.

Edit: OT observation. The last 3 posts have come EXACTLY 2hrs apart. Weird ;)

[EVO 4G General] bungee91:
You really have no worries, and I've been using some form of tethering for 3+ years since my Palm phone.

Even with daily usage (Mon-Fri, a.k.a. work) I sit around 2Gb total a month, and that's with downloading an occasional 100Mb+ rom.

Don't be stupid with it (don't tether and download an HD movie, or run all your torrents from it), and everything will be fine, no questions asked.
[EVO 4G General] scottypeterson:
I ended up unrooting my phone and returning to stock so I could have a tech look at my charging port cause it wouldn't charge. He ended up telling me that "it has basic root" and I played it dumb and came to find out that he found that out because my hboot was S-On like it should be but the number was like 6.17 or something instead of the 2.17 and I didn't notice that before brought it in. Just sayin cause some techs look for root even when they have no need to.

[EVO 4G General] rocket999:
I want to clear a few things up. Rooting DOES NOT void your contract with sprint. It voids your warranty with HTC, but not sprint. Now with tethering, they have a $30 charge for a reason. Do you think they like people tethering without paying that? No. I haven't read up on the tethering, but I would imagine if they could tell they would be mad at everyone by now. So I'm certain they can't tell.

I don't have 4g where I live, just 3g. I very occasionally use tethering for my laptop or tablet when I am on the go. I use about 1.5 gigs of data without tethering at all, and I've only used another 1/4 gig when I tether. I sure as hell aren't gonna pay $30 a month for the few times I have to use it...
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
im gonna stand by any 3g or even 4g is not good enough to torrent stuff why bother... i'll tether as needed but still run 3+gigs through my phone just cuz i am not beyond dling roms/mods/hacks on the go. a lot of that is probably pdfs from emails for work. this thread = ridiculous prolly got kicked from sprint because if they asked him about it he said "oh ya i was using wireless tether not ur hotspot crap..." imo :)
[EVO 4G General] droiddawg:
Meh. Ive used 5+ gigs every month since I've had Sprint. I've only been with them for about 8 months now. My main data usage is streaming Sirius, Pandora, or netflix. I do, seldomly, use wireless tether when I need it. If im not at home or at the in-laws then I'm using tether. I don't really trust public wifi for something I pay bills and bank with. But that's just me.

I think if I ever use under 5 gigs, Sprint might call me to see if I'm sick or something. Lol.

I'm in a bit of a pickle and need some guidance. This may be a bit long but it'll all tie together. I have searched and read through a ton of threads but nothing quite seemed to work. I am fairly computer savvy and had no issues rooting the phone and messing around with it but I'm stumped.

I had some minor issues with my rooted EVO running Ava Froyo back in April before I left the country (random FC on certain processes). I sent the phone home as it won't work in the Middle East and asked that the wife use it and keep the apps up to date. Well, surprise no such luck I think she turned it on before she sent it to me to make sure I have no voice mail and that was it. Fast forward to a few days ago when I received the phone in preparation for going home to the States for the holidays and attempted to update apps and such. It updated a few but I'm getting all sorts of Force Closes and now I can't download anything, Android Market, App Brain, attachments, etc. I need to get the phone sorted and updated in the next week or I'll be SOL.

Here's what I've got so far:

the phone is rooted - S-off

the backup I had must have gotten corrupted so I can't flash anything

For some reason CWM is no longer installed and can't install because when I was able to connect via wifi it won't download (server error)

When I boot to recovery I get the phone with the red triangle. Vol Up and PWR button get me to the next screen but I can't do anything from there.

I can't seem to locate all of the latest PC36IMG.zip files, the ones I have don't seem to work

I'm sure there is some critical info I'm leaving out but my head hurts.

I have limited connectivity and limited bandwidth so it makes downloading anything larger than 10mb problematic. It's possible but the stars must align.

The goal is to fix whatever the problem is, flash CM7, update everything so I can can use it on leave in about a week. I'm hoping all the really smart Android folks can point me in the right direction.
