I am normaly running at around 25gb usage a month for the last 6 months and trust me if I have heard nothing from sprint or anyone. U won't either. Ofcourse that statment is not garantiued.

So pre14 crashes on 3g after an hour or three. Crashes whole phone to off position. New build didn't work at all.
[Epic 4G Apps] BeerChameleon:
what rom you running with it?

and u tried the softap test2 one?
[Epic 4G Apps] BeerChameleon:
The latest beta is out and seems to work pretty damn good!!!!

Its weird it activates the wifi switch and shows in your pulldown that wifi is on and it also automatically activates 4g :eek:

but u can turn off 4g if you dont have it, seems to work well and its out of experimental!!! :D:D
[Epic 4G Apps] Xiutehcuhtli:
So weird, I totally posted about this a solid five months after the op here and nobody yelled at me about search.

Where is XOBX? He is slacking!

Super solid app though. Works seamlessly.

[Epic 4G Apps] BeerChameleon:
Latest Beta 2 is out: http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk&can=1&q=

With:

-Option To Make 4g not activate if you dont have it

-Option to force wifi driver reload (which basically if you have it checked it doesnt turn on wifi switch in your notification bar and you will have the sprint hotspot icon and wifi tether in the notification bar or if its off no sprint hotspot icon and turns your wifi switch on)

New beta is amazing!!!

Works great!

Make sure you uninstall and clear data of the old one then install then reboot and you will be good :)
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
What are your setting. I have it working but i cant seem to turn it on then off, then on again with out a reboot before turning it back on.
[Epic 4G Apps] BeerChameleon:
do u have wired tether installed?

Also

My set up:

Syndicate Frozen 1.2 Rom

Genocide 2.0 Kernal

What i did was i installed it first over the old beta then tried it and it worked one time then wouldn't work at all so i cleared the app data and force stopped it.

I also uninstalled wired tether... then rebooted and its been good

My settings on in Wifi tether is:

Device Profile: Epic 4g

Setup method: softap

Wifi encryption checked

Access control on

uncheck 4g mobile network cause i dont have 4g
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
My settings are the same but i had Access control off.

Yes i do have Wired tether installed.

I would like to have both. i just cleared data on both apps & the phones just about booted. Will report back
[Epic 4G Apps] BeerChameleon:
seems wired tether interferes with it a lot of the time so i gave up on wired tether as i never wire tether :rolleyes:

oh btw wired tether says i dont have a compatible kernal.. :confused:

what kernal u running? :confused:
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
I'am on midNight rom 5.2 with the Bonsai 4.0.1 kernel that comes with the rom.

Same thing this time. I cleared data on both apps, uninstalled wifi tether. reinstalled wifi tether, them rebooted. turned on hotspot. looked and Google news on my laptop turned it off on the phone. (check this thread on my routers wifi) atepted to turn wifi tether back on and it just hangs. :( O well maybe beta 3 will work. I wonder why wired tether does not work with Genocide 2.0 Kernal? I would ask over in that tread about that.
[Epic 4G Apps] BeerChameleon:
u may want to change kernals or even roms i was having issues on bonsai 4.0.1 rom/kernal with wifi tether :rolleyes:

or even get the 4.1.1 kernal from the bonsai site.. i know that that kernal worked great with wifi tether when i was on it.
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
Well i tried it with Genocide 2.0 Kernel & it's still hanging at re-enabling

[Epic 4G Apps] TWO515TY:
I use Wifi Tether 3.0 pre-14 and Wired Tether 1.4 with this same setup (except I turn on my 4G after it starts) and both work flawlessly for me. I will note that when I updated the Wifi Tether app to a 3.1 build, I couldn't get it to work well, so perhaps anyone having trouble might try a different build.
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
Beta 5 is out.
[Epic 4G Apps] dohturdima:
After using the wireless hotspot hack, I am not touching any version of wifi tether with a 100-foot pole. Tethering is just that much better without worrying about random reboots :) When I still was using wifi tether, I was all over the problems threads trying to get the dev to get it to work with our epics - but each new prexx version had the same problems as the prior one. It would reboot the phone when a call would come in, sometimes randomly and you were guaranteed reboots on 4g. Prior to the hotspot hack, the only app that worked properly sanns reboots was the adhoc wireless tether.
[Epic 4G Apps] formula84:
The dev. Is a great guy he was very helpful with me and with a couple of us sending debug logs he was able to get us our first free non adhoc waifing tether... yes it had its issues but it is free. I have been using the native app now as well, but give some respect to the developer.
[Epic 4G Apps] JohnCorleone:
I agree. The WifiTether versions did come in very handy for me. Also, the latest leak doubled the amount of WiMax intents but Necrosan still made it happen. Hopefully the next leak is still hackable but who knows
[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
Yep the Dev is a good guy. He does not have an Epic 4G

I really like this app, maybe some day it will work. I was testing my own theme last night & by the time I found beta 5 it was late and I was sick of nandroiding.

Edit.....Opps. Blank post. I bumped the "submit"

[Epic 4G Apps] FrankyFiggz27:
i had a ton of trouble with wireless tether. just did not play well with my phone at all. plus it has to enable sprint hotspot, which kept screwing things up. I tried out some other apps and found that Open Garden Wifi Tethering works better. It's easier and faster. See my thread about it here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16932988&postcount=1.

Plus it's free!!!

[Epic 4G Apps] zman519:
You mean you set the device to "Galaxy Nexus" insted of Epic4G ?

Dude :eek: You should tell Harald the dev about that. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/people/list

I don't think so. It's built into the settings.apk so I'd imagine it'd be a nightmare to remove it.
[Epic 4G Apps] lviv73:
Just tried it on my Stock DI18 and my PS3 doesnt see it,yes I went to settings and switched ad-hoc mode and Epic4g,also tryed it with access control.

Is this froyo only?Or only work with certain kernels?

@ Harry, thanks for all your hard work in getting this functional for us Epic users!

@everyone else, this "Harry_m" is the developer of the app, make sure to thank at the very least and donate if you said you would / or find his efforts of value...
[Epic 4G Apps] BeerChameleon:
Wait u switched adhoc mode?!

[Epic 4G Apps] formula84:
Post your 4g Speeds...

For what ever reason I get crap 4g speeds compared to USB tether, I seen this post as realize it just must be me, wondering if other can post there rom version and what speeds they are getting with 4g. Via speed test app I get like 1.5 to 2mb down but tethered I get like .4-.7, weird as 3g I get .8 down...I only have 1 bar of 4g though... I am going to flash the stock dk28 tar via odin and test to see if its my rom or just my area / interference.
[Epic 4G Apps] musclehead84:
I wouldn't think so. Unless you need something to tether like a ps3 it is basically the.same as what you have. Not to sure about speed differences yet as I haven't got to really test this new one out yet.

Had the same problem. I'm on Bonsai 2.0.1. Tried to reinstall wireless tether and cleared data with no luck. Then I uninstalled weatherbug elite.. have had widget problems with this and also uninstalled timeriffic cleared data and the magic happened :D

Not sure what fixed it but it kinda looks like timeriffic of weather bug elite.

BTW.. my speed test are actually a little slower then 2.0.6 (adhoc version)

Big thanks to the developer on this.

Running Bonsai 2.0.1 and out of 10 tries I got it to work once. Caused a lot of reboots, but all the FC's made me boot a nandroid bu. Nice idea, but not ready for prime time. :)
[Epic 4G Apps] twotwo11:
Nevermind. I tried it on stock odexed dk28 and it works, but only on 3g. It kept rebooting on 4g. Overall, this is really cool.
[Epic 4G Apps] harry_m:
Beside the fact that the new version supports master/infrastructure-mode ...

You get WPA2-encryption instead of (hacked-in-seconds) WEP-encryption.

And the new version comes with a WIDGET (widget-support is integrated).

seems to be working well on my epic so, posting on my desktop pc tethered to my phone while downloading and have been doing so for an hour. also made a phone call and after i hung up the data resumed flawlessly. i'll post back tomorrow after more testing as where i live has terrible qwest dsl :mad: and this is so much faster

mine does not work...

hey guys i am trying to give this app a go but it reboots my phone and then when it does load it takes forever and then when it does get there it ends up putting tho wifi signals on the screen...i tried putting up pics of what i mean but screen capture is hard cause when i press back it exits the app...so anyways i am running bonsai v1.1.4 dk28 so if anyone can help me out...do i start the sprint app or this app??
[Epic 4G Apps] cresny:
I seem have fixed my reboots...

To all those experiencing reboot crashes, mine did same but seems to be stable now. At first I had old version installed so I uninstalled and cleared data - no help. Then I tried clearing data or uninstalling/reinstalling new version, still crashed. I The way I think I fixed it was, before reinstalling, I first opened the real Sprint Hotspot and let it try to connect a couple of times (I got a bad username message). After this I reinstalled and it has been working perfectly, encryption and all. I also did uninstall an app called WiFi Status along the way but I have since reinstalled, so I don't think that had anything to do with the crashes.

Thanks to the dev, +1 donated! :)

Weird its works great on bonsai for me, the only time it rebooted for me is because when the sprint thing popped up I was ****ing around and changing settings and checked the activate box in the sprint one and that caused a reboot on my phone other then that now it works superbly :)

Funny was working fine on bonsai 2.0.1, but my 4g speeds are **** less than 3g? anyway thought i would odin to stock dk28 and test to see if it was rom related... stock caused the reboot, uninstalled did the sprint app open and start a few times, then reinstalled the app and it worked fine... same speeds though.

Flashed back to bonsai now the problem carried over, had to do the fix and it worked fine again... after using a few times same thing repeated... this fix works everytime just wondering whats causing it.
[Epic 4G Apps] cresny:
I'm on TrulyEpic 1.2, but I'm sure it's the same for any DK28. I also got crap speeds, have to disable/re-enable 4G to get it going good. Anyway, I'm satisfied even with the kinks, and I'm sure they'll be worked out in time.

I've only had two problems with this app so far. First if I try and set a password the app creates with network but doesn't share the net. Second if I try and use the widget the app fc's and my phone reboots but other than those two things it works very well and I can certainly live with those two problems. Can't wait to see this when everything is ironed out

How do even disable journaling and is there a benefit to doing it, cause if not then I'm satisfied my phone is running great with this working and bonsai :)

Sent from my awesome epic 4g
[Epic 4G Apps] Rudyblah:
I can't remember if bonsai has it baked in or not but the no journaling mod is in that thread. The benefit of it is that its faster and longer nand life but it also increases the risk of data corruption and even more so with improper shutdowns(battery pulls and dead battery). If u are going to go with no journaling always have a backup or at least a rom zip on your sd card at all times. If u are one to do a lot of battery pulls or kill your battery a lot the benefits are probally not worth the hassle

Does this work for anyone on the frankenstien rom cause it force closes when I try to open it?

How did you install the app?

If you only push the apk-file to /system/app or /data/app it's not installed correctly (some needed shared libraries are not copied/installed).

Use "adb install" to be safe:

adb install wifi_tether_v3_0-pre3.apk

If a clean install does not work ... provide some "adb logcat"-logs.
