[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
I still don't understand if ANYONE has ever successfully used the hotspot over 4G. 4G is an encrypted conenction. When I have Wifi Tether ready to run (I only tried this once, while I was driving, so I have to check again) 4G would NOT connect.

In order for 4G to turn on and then Wifi Tether to work wouldn't the app need the 4G encryption key? So...the phone crash/reboot is not the only fix that needs to happen here. The 4G connection has to be able to connect WHILE Wifi Tether is ready to share..i.e. watching encrypted traffic.

I could be off here, but if the author has created a way to "handshake" on the 4G keys..then , that is amazing. Hopefully he did this by dissecting MobileAP once it was jailbroken.

Anyone here..feel more than free to totally rebuttal this argument.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
i know for a fact that the first mobile ap worked on 4g, i tested it when i went to L.A. however i havent had a chance to try the wifi hotspot, but i know ive seen at least a few posts saying that it should work on 4g.

Do u activate 4g b4 or after you start wifi tether?

i think you have to activate before you start wifi tether.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Right. I do understand this. I will try to totally connect on 4G before starting the wifi app. Although since pre-10 simply crashes my whole phone, what version should I be trying this with?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
try pre 9, it worked the best at least the first time i used it. After the first time, if you want to use it again, clear the apps data or uninstall it and reinstall so u dont have a bad reboot.

This one definetly worked the best for me on bonsai, but only the first time i used it, so thats why if you want to use it again ininstalle and reinstall or clear data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Makes me wonder why an auto clear cache script isn't implemented.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I dont think that would help it be better, cause you have to re-enter your ssid,encryption and settings, the developer just needs to find out why this is causing reboots and causing bad force closes on mms,android system,keyboards..

Just saying pre 9 worked on the first time, then all this crap above happens, it also maybe a kernal thing, so maybe once the new rom and kernals roll out, this may be compatible more and might not have issues..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cam3ron1:
No fc for me on pre9 and it makes notification bar say Hotspot Active.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
What ROM/Kernel and does it work in 4G? Are you in AP/Infrastructure mode?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cam3ron1:
EB13 deodexed unsigned dameons version
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
and does it work in 4G? Are you in AP/Infrastructure mode? Do you understand what I'm asking about AP?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
yes what rom u running,kernal,modem etc?

Also is it the first time you used it?

EDIT: NVRMIND, sorry, just saw your post, so maybe the eb13 roms work with it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
If he is using pre9, obviously its in infrastructure, wifi tether is always in infrastructure unless you change to the adhoc setting..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cam3ron1:
If infastucture u mean the hotspot app then yes. The box is not checked while tethering. But it does say hotspot active and I don't have 4g in my area so not on 4g is this a 4g problem
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
No, its a 3g problem too, at least on bonsai rom and some other old roms,

do us a favor and test it out for like 2 hours a day, doesnt have to be everyday, but keep using it for long period of times and let us know if you run into reboots and force closes after the reboots.

If eb13 works great with pre9 or pre10 whatever version your using then, maybe it will be stable and a non experimental version will be out soon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
I wasn't aware that it is always in AP unless purposely put into Ad hoc. Good to know.

Hotspot with 4G is the big trick here as 4G sharing is what Sprint is attempting to charge people for
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
DID u test pre9 on 4g?

Really there should be no reason that wifi tether shouldnt work on 4g, because this app, is created to hack the official sprint hotspot, thats why u see the hotspot get activated, so 4g should work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Pre-9 on DK28 is an official no go. I will need to check back in with EB13 when I have installed it. I do get 4G normally in my area so it will be a good test. May be pre-11 will be out once I install EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cam3ron1:
I disagree.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Sorry. It doesn't work on MY dk28 ROM. An older Dameon version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
Hey everyone! Where did the MobileAP development go?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
It ended as in froyo the sprint hotspot needs hacked and it already got hacked with

wifi tether v3.0.0 pre11 :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] WunderXDA:
I'm not comprehending that sentence but do you mean pre11 is fully functional now without restarts and force closes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
no, but apparently acs, in there next one is going to improve something that makes it work better,

as for mobile ap its never going to work on froyo or deodedex 2.1 roms,

wifi tether is the only option, i think it will be offficial without pres, just takes some time. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Do we need to pay chargers to the Provider for using this application, or is it something we can use for free like the WiFi-Tether for Root Users with a Data Plan? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Its free, and just like the root user wireless tether only this is infrastructure and works on 4g, also its pretty much a hacked version of the sprint hotspot, considering it activates it but doesnt authenticate ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
Yep...same here...fc
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
I chmodded it and it still FCed. Flashed the new update and it still FCs. :P

Yeah, I wish we could push to /system directly, but oh well, it's only an extra command.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
grrr....pulling link for now. i dunno what the hell is up with the epic! it sucks i can't test myself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
well, if you're on IRC somewhere, I'm always willing to test stuff and risk a brick and give you immediate feedback. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
I read somewhere that the DI07 gives you guys the option for this to be a hotspot right? that is probably why this isn't working and people on DG27 can use it fine
[Epic 4G Android Development] russ2048:
Gives me the options in settings but when I click it is when I get the fc. I'm a bit of a noob but if u need someone else for testing send me a msg.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
An option where? DG27 had the Sprint Hotspot, and DI07 hasn't really changed that (just made 4g use less battery).

I didn't see anything else about hotspot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
i thought they gave the option but it was an added charge. nvm lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] gTen:
Wait so if we downgrade to DG27 it will work? cause last patch does absolutly nothing and I'd rather have 4g hotspot working then a few features I don't plan on using much.

IS MobileAP TouchWiz dependent? maybe our TW version is causing the issues?
[Epic 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
hey sorry i missed the fun, just wasnt sure if this was the same as sprint's so does this give ap/infrastructure access without paying the 30 dollar fee? if so then sign me up im constantly flashing between kernels and such wouldnt mind trying to debug something
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
i dunno what i was reading to make think others got this to work. sorry long day at work. i am putting off this mod for the time being
[Epic 4G Android Development] gTen:
I see..then why not just keep this thread as a work in progress till the details are sorted out?
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
good idea lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] russ2048:
I really want to see this working I jut don't know enough yet to help out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shabbypenguin:
glad to see your continuing on
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Im not sure if i am following this thread correctly...but the mobile hospot feature (requires extra charge on bill to activate) came with our phones out of the box. the only updates we have gotten are app addons (amazon mp3, media hub, a fix to qik) and some fixes to GPS and some stuff to make 4G not as much as a battery hog.

on another note, if you need a crash test dummy, im down. lemme know what you need.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gTen:
Hey there, seems like ClockworkMod was released for the Fascinate:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787834

It may help is solving the issues with the Epic. If Fascinate works then it must be TW2.5, if not then chances are its a CDMA thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bsnyder217:
Hmmm works fine for me on DI07
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
U are using the mobile ap link from the op? And u are on epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bsnyder217:
Yeah same link and no I'm using an iphone can't you tell by my signature?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Well, I would believe you but the file has been removed from the link in the OP. Just Captivate, Vibrant, and i9000 now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
That would be because I pulled it. To many people were having issues. A small percentage didn't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Yeah I know. Did you get a logcat from anyone? I know theres some weird stuff with the Epic's TouchWiz. Captivate camera app (like the one ported to Vibrant) crashes with null pointer exception. As weird as it sounds, we need a good Captivate ROM lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] russ2048:
I still have the original file for DI07 if anyone needs it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
I'll give it a shot if you send it to me. geniusdog254 AT gmail DOT com
[Epic 4G Android Development] bsnyder217:
It doesn't force close but 3g stays dormant so it stil doesn't work
[Epic 4G Android Development] russ2048:
sent it to you
[Epic 4G Android Development] wnoisephx:
I don't like to be "me too".. But can you send it to me as well?

billr at domsys dot com

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
How this Work in progress coming i would love to see this work. Free mobile hotspot and not just adhoc. Real infrastructure means less limited working devices.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
can somebody please do the following and upload it

adb pull init.rc
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
Anything to help get this working. Let me know if you need anything else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
ok this one should work! please test

http://www.mediafire.com/?ps2bn2v7wxkblvb
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
I installed via clockwork, but when I got to settings > networks > MobileAP it takes me to Sprint's Mobile Hotspot app. Perhaps I should remove the Sprint app and attempt to reinstall this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
no. i included the app & jar from the dI07 dump. i will re-include the ones from the i9000 in a minute
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
Oh ok. I was confused. I tried it anyways to see if maybe you modified the Sprint app, but no go. Just let me know where to go from here because I don't see a way to access the Samsung Tether app, just the Sprint one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
oh man that 1st one may work then lol! there is no app to click on! it is in settings.

Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile AP Settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Sweet testing now. had to back up my new settings in case i wanted to delete this if it doesnt work. crossing my fingers. if this works im buying u 2 red bulls my friend. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
I know that part, but when I go through settings like that I end up with Sprint's app which requires a wonderful $30 fee on top of the magical $10 fee we already pay. I assume the whole point of this app is to replace that and allow for a free alternative.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
try this one then
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
is this the one u attached to the post earlier? im testing that one right now.

Edit: the one that u attached b4 the previous one force closed. :(

i guess ill try the other one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
are you flashing in recovery or just pushing files? i added a couple scripts that may have gotten overwritten in previous attempts
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
in recovery i'm trying the new one u just posted now.

Edit: That must of been the same it forced close. Am i supposed to push it? Am i missing a file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
no in recovery. what is fc-ing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
When i click on mobile ap in the settings. Do i need something else installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
ive flashed through rom manager, but then i forgot i dont have the mobile ap app installed in this rom. anybody got the apk for me?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Do i need the mobile ap apk file too? maybe thats what im missing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
the MobileAP.apk is flashed in the update.zip. can't do anything else tonight. i am passing out. actually here is my last attempt tonight
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
ok thought so testing this now stay tuned for results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
I flashed through recovery and at first it had trouble connecting, but I think that's just because I have crappy signal at home. It appears to be working now. I'll do some more testing tomorrow when I have a better signal and let you know for sure.

EDIT: It is definitely working. Testing via iPad. I loaded a few sites and did a speed test to confirm it was connected to my cell phone and not home network (600ms ping says yes it's connected to phone). I'll drive into town where I get 4G coverage tomorrow and give that a go. Thanks for all the hard work. I also shutdown and restarted Mobile AP and connected from my laptop. It was slow as hell, but it worked. I'm hoping the slow as hell part is just my location and not something else.

UPDATE: To be clear I hadn't even seen the final attempt zip. I am using the second one, the one from this post:
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
oh sh*t really im about to test mine!!!!

Edit: It almost worked i didnt force close it connected said internet access then went to no internet. :( ill reboot and see i that has anything to do with it. so close man i feel like we will get this figured out soon this weekend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
only thing that goes into system/app is mobileAP.apk, but when i try to install the app "name" is mobile AP settings. i havent played or decompiled the mobile ap at all so im not quite sure what its supposed to say. im gonna find the original play around while you are asleep. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Which one u using i tried the final attempt and it connects then say no internet access?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
umm first before the last. im trying to do a backup but the rom im using isnt working very well. im about to do a full wipe and go back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
the attachment? or the mediafire one?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
I linked the post. It's post #79 that has the attachment that I'm using.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
well that one forced close the final one opened connected but no internet access. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
I don't know what to tell you. It works for me. I have root via andromeda kernel v.1.3.2 and I flashed the file via clockwork recovery. I have no issues with force close and I get a connection. I'll test more tomorrow to see how speeds work with better signal and 4G.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
last update. got Mobile AP to broadcast, but no internet. disabled ipv6, on my ipv4 disabled register of DNS with my adapter, disabled netbios over tcp/ip (we have to do this for alot of our 4g cards to connect to vista/win7 computers. anyways specific error i get is a DNS error. both before i changed anything and after.

i finally get it to connect, just dont have data. have noticed 4g immediately sleeps whenever mobile AP is connected. just sayin.

WisdomWolf: what exactly are you running? rom/launcher/is sprint hotspot actually on your phone, or does your rom have it removed?

*edit*

just got a thought. if your running andromeda 1.3.2, its a modified DG27 kernel. im running a di07 kernel (andromeda rom 1.03). im gonna flash the mixup OC kernel. if that works maybe the problem lies in the di07 kernel. interesting. gonna flash and go to bed. gotta be to work in 4.5 hours. suckage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
adb pull init.rc please
[Epic 4G Android Development] rose1:
Can someone with a working mobile ap post the rom they're using whether it's stock, the updated DI07 or if it's a custom rom and who's rom it is? Also post your kernel, root method etc? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
Should it be loading the standard sprint hotspot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
When I first tried yesterday I was using stock di07 with andromeda kernel. After I realized that I shouldn't be running that kernel I updated to the clockwork compatible stock di07 kernel and did the one click root to get root back. Everything still works.

No, you should see something similar, but there shouldn't be any Sprint branding.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I am running Noobnls Rom, was running the mix up kernal, then switched to the fluff kernal. i used the one that wisdom wolf got working and it forced close. so i ran the final one and my result was that it connected however no internet access. :(

Maybe ill try going to the stock kernal. Just for the heck of it and see if that does anything. Anyone have the link for that i forgot where it was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
Oh, that's wierd because It is loading my sprint hotspot using Boss ROM .1V. This ROM had no Sprint programs until I ran this patch. Somehow it loads the Sprint Mobile AP now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
i am putting the one from post #79 in the OP. since it is confirmed working. I am just ammending the file name with FINAL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
What Kernal/Rom does this work on?

Im on noobnls rom/fluff kernal or mix up and it forces closes. Is there a work around or something i can do to make it not force close.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
i don't know. i don't even own an epic. ask WisdomWolf. i can't make this thing support every rom. this was originally only for stock builds. it would be up to the rom/kernel developer to gave support in the rom/kernel for it
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Gotcha maybe the chefs will make this compatible. Maybe ill flash back to stock and try. Thanks for ur hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] j_r0dd:
I know this needs touchwiz and won't work on aosp builds
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
ok what is aosp builds? Also your saying maybe if install touchwiz back it might work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
ASOP roms are roms that are mainly vanilla in flavor. no launcher minus the standard. removes all sprint software minus what is essential for the phone to operate.

i guess ill try the OP download, but the ones i had been trying last night were on the andromeda rom (not kernel). i flashed the Mixup kernel and still no dice. ill flash the andro kernel or the fluff and see if i can get it working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
I was out an about today and all is still working well, the only problem I've seen is the same as wireless tether for root users, it does not utilize the 4G connection at all. When 4G was on the tethered device was still connected to 3G. It's not that big a deal, but thought it might be worth noting for those who might be wondering. It's still a great tethering app and I am grateful for the effort made to get it working for us.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Well that kinda sucks but again doesnt matter where i live. Also probaly the reasoning for this is cause of the mobile ap app only supports 3g. Well ill give it some time and there will probaly be a new modified version of this that will work on 4g. Also work on all kernals/roms since i have yet to see this work for me. :( oh well adhoc wireless tether will hold me over. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
I just found out this Mobile AP version requires Touch Wizard to be installed. The ROM that i'm using removes everything TW. :) That's probably why I'm getting the FCs.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Question does this require all aspects of touchwiz? Ex: calendar,widgets.

Edit: Weird everytime i try to reinstall twlauncher. it blacks out my screen and freezes my phone. Then when i take out the battery and restart it it gets stock after the galaxy s screen and goes black. Well thank god for restore feature on clockwork mod.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
I just flashed the stock d107 that noobnl has out in another thread and still get fc with this final mobileap...
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
Did you flash the full stock ROM or just the kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
The full stock rom..di07..
[Epic 4G Android Development] sunrocket:
I get fc with touchwiz and fluffkernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] WisdomWolf:
Hmm. Here are the exact steps I did to get this working. I had DG27 with andromeda kernel. I flashed stock DG27 and updated to DI07. Then I flashed andromeda v1.3.2 (not realizing that di07 stock kernel + root was preferred). I flashed clockwork mod.

Then I saw jr33's post asking for the init.rc file, so I posted that. I tried his first zip and got the Sprint App. I went ahead and removed MobileAP.apk and MobileAP.odex via Root Manager and then reinstalled the zip. I was still at the Sprint App and it obviously didn't work. Then I flashed the zip from Post #79. When I went to settings -> Network -> MobileAP it showed the Samsung AP software this time. I started it up and it worked!

Since then I switched to stock DI07 kernel and re-rooted using one-click root. Everything still works fine after multiple reboots and tests. I've tested with my iPad and my macbook in both OS X as well as Win 7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
I still can't get it to work. I'm on the DI07 update, but with Andromeda 1.3.3 it FCs (and stock DI07 kernel FCs too). Clockworkmod 2.5.1.0.

Used the zip from post #79, as well as the 'final' one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
Wifi tether on my phone uses the 4G just fine. It has from the first day I rooted and was using pre8 and it works fine now with pre9. I ran speedtests with my laptop tethered and got 3mbps d/l and 1 mbps u/l. This can only be 4G because my 3G never gets past 1.5 mbps d/l and is currently capped at 150 kbps u/l.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Which is better this or google's wifi tether?
[Epic 4G Android Development] d94:
looks like the key to making this work is remove the stock MobileAP.apk and MobileAP.odex (sprint hotspot) via Root Manager and then install mobileAP, via this method i had no force closes! and this is superior to root tether because its a true infrastructure AP made by samsung for our phones..sprint and all the other carriers simply removed em
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrkrabs:
So it hs to be on an odex rom not deodexed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] infinitybit:
Confirmed working after deletion of MobileAP.apk. Stock ROM (DI07), FluffKernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
So u probably also need the stock rom as well. Unless someone can confirm that it works on one of the custom roms?
