Re: Free WIFI tether works !!!!now with infrastructure mode.

Ok, this is probably redundant, but I am posting directions CLEARLY for people who get the "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!" error.

1. Install the Android SDK following the instructions.
2. Root the phone.
3. Unrevoke the phone.
4. Install the wifi tether program.

O, duh. I missed the unrevoke step! DUH!

I only used unrevoked on the Stock Sprint ROM and it works like a charm.

Re: Free WIFI tether works !!!!now with infrastructure mode.

Hello,

i am rooted using the toast method. i am able to tether just fine but i get disconnected every 10 minutes. on my phone it still says connected, but on the bottom its showing 0kb up and 0kb down. i will then have to manually turn off tether and then turn it back on. reconnect on my computer and it will disconnect after another 10 minutes. i tried power cycling the phone, tried it on different laptops and tried changing the frequency. no luck

How can it be legal? I mean when Sprint charges this for $30 and you are getting it free?
I am never going to use it(Free tether). If I need then pay $30 and use the service from Sprint. I have no need of Hotspot though......

All right, sure, you do that. The rest of us will still use it.

Re: Free WIFI tether works !!!!now with infrastructure mode.

Sprint said they would not try to stop third party tether they said that their program was better and more trust worthy. Long story short they know and don't care that's why they charge an extra 10 dollars.
