Does Unlocked USB tethering mean that we can use either the option "USB tethering" in the Wireless & Network settings, or just select the "USB tethering" selection in the list of USB connection options that pops up when we plug the phone into the PC? And are you also saying we can use the actual "Sprint Hotspot" app for wireless tethering instead of Wifi Tether app? Sorry if these questions seem obvious, but I am just so impressed and extatic with these improvements if that's what it means, that I am having trouble believing it is true. You are a hero man!

Well in my case, I was connected to 4G, then launched the Sprint Hotspot app, and as soon as I checked the box to turn it on, it automatically bumped me back on 3G. But it does work on 3G so way to go dude, you rock.

Chris, the 4G tethering doesn't work with sprint hotspot...It only picks up the 3G..

I'll try to help search but I don't see how you do that... my screen goes black when I'm on a call...

is there ANY reason to use the SPRINT HOTSPOT program over the one that currently works (but it seems to shut off after a period of time?).. Can we FIX the one that currently works to resolve this SHUTOFF ISSUE?

A: The Sprint Hotspot fix ALSO enables USB tethering.

B. Some users (myself included) like the look and use of stock applications over 3rd party apps.

C. If you have a problem with the Wireless Tether app, you may want to contact the developer and see if they can help you. I personally as well as others on the site replied to you and stated that they did not observe any problems with the app "shutting off" at any time.

I was also having the disconnect problem with WiFi Tether, so that is why this option being made available is so nice for me, even though it is only 3G. But personally I absolutely LOVE the factory USB Tether feature. I most always only have to connect one pc, I don't have to broadcast anything, and the phone is being charged the whole time I am using it, instead of being drained. I never had any problem with WiFi Tether on this ROM using versions of a couple months ago or so. So I am not sure if it is Froyo or ROM related, since I don't run anyone's ROM but Chris's.

Update: I just tried WiFi Tether again and it ran exactly 4min before disconnection, and the phone was cold to the feel, not hot, so I know that isn't a part of the problem.
