If you're already rooted, why don't you just use the WiFi tether? Works for me on Hydro Beta 1. Was at almost 18mbs down the other night when my internet went out at the house.

Umm.... what? I'd love to answer your question, if there is one, but I really can't understand you. Please use some punctuation and make an attempt at forming sentences that describe your issue or concern. Thank you.

ok. i tried using an app called quick settings and hotspot widget i installed. when i use them it says i have to update my profile in settings. Do i do that or will that make it so i pay. Please remember im on zvh running hydro rom beta 2 if these apps dont work please tell me ones that do. if i pay for any kind of hotspot my parents will kill me. no joke. i just need a app that does free wi fi hotspot that i do not have to pay for. please tell me an app that works on zvh. Remember FREE HOTSPOT ABSOLUTLY FREE NO MULA.

Didn't they build Nick7's wifi hotspot widget into HydroROM? I thought they did. That should work just fine.

Sprint provides unlimited data plans. The only thing that really gets their attention is if you consume considerable roaming data. Stay on their 3G network and you should be fine. I also tend to think that it should be for your personal use exclusively, but that's just my opinion. And it is just a ad hoc hack running on a 3G connection; don't expect it to support multiple devices like a wireless router would. I usually use a user agent switcher and set it to mimic a mobile device so that my laptop loads pages quickly.

I always wondered how the the WiFi tether worked.

I had my mother in law's laptop running on it the other night and when I checked the app it was at almost 18mbs down. I disconnected the laptop and connected my PS3 to it and was able to play BF3 online. I was happy since my FiOS was down that night.

Although, I did try it again at my brother in law's apartment and it wouldn't get passed 0.4kbps. I could get his computer to connect but the web browser wouldn't load pages. But if it's based off the 3G signal, then that would make sense at his place. I didn't even have a signal in his apartment.
