[Q] tether to epic 4g touch/ evo

---

has anyone had any luck connecting the fire to an epic 4g touch or an evo? i have wifi tether on both and i've gone through the settings on both with no luck. I can get it to connect to the evo, but am still not able to access to internet but with the e4gt it doesn't even see the hotspot. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I saw a thread in the Kindle Fire section of the Phandroid forums on tethering to a 4g phone; I don't have a 4g phone myself, so I can't vouch for it.

i don't have 4g on. also, i did see that post and tried it but no dice

I have an evo 4g, and have had no issues connecting to the wireless hotspot. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on the Evo if that matters.

yeah, i've been trying to use wifi tether but as soon as i turned on sprints hotspot it worked right away. i had forgotten about using hotspot since i never use it as i always use wifi tether for everything. just weird that it can connect to one but not the other.

I've connected using wifi tether and 4g with the evo

What version of wifi tether are you using on the evo? I'm using 3.1-beta6 and it won't work with for the Kindle to connect to.

Strange, still not working on my EVO 4G. Guess I should look into using a different ROM and/or kernel on it.

working on HTC Evo 4G

Never mind, got it working on my Evo 4G now.

I updated to WiFi Tether 3.1-beta7, and had to go under settings and make the following changes:

Device-Profile: HTC Evo 4G
Setup-Method: Softap (master)
Channel: 01 (2412 MHz)
MSS clamping: checked
Routing fix: checked (supposedly this is an HTC-specific option)

After modifying all these settings, I rebooted, started WiFi Tether & enabled tethering, and my Kindle Fire had no issues connecting to it!
