HOW TO: Install Mobile Hotspot on a 1.4.1.1 Sprint Pre - Page 37

peteralbano · 10/30/2010, 05:22 PM

Installed and works fine . thanks for this ! You think WBOS 2.0 will break it?

costas · 11/05/2010, 05:45 PM

i used it today and it worked perfect. the only thing i noticed is that for some reason i didn't get any calls or text while tethered. is that normal? someone said they called me but my phone didn't even ring nor did it show up in missed calls. then i got texts from people saying hello? bc i had somehow gotten several texts w/out notifications.

Pre2009 · 11/05/2010, 08:59 PM

having some trouble. i downloaded both mentioned files and am able to run mobile hotspot and connect to my laptop. however, i do not get internet access. this has happened to me before and figured out a way to fix it, but since then i doctor'd my phone and the same fix does not work (change the data mode to evdo only). anyone else know what i can do?

trial and error have proved worthy for me, i am connected now, but only have local internet access. tried all sorts of things from open security to wpa/wapa2 persoanl but both only give me local access. any other thoughts ideas on what i can try?

I use to have this working and tired re-installing it again and that installation works fine, but for some reason the MHS doesn't allow me to toggle it from Off to On. Anyone seen this before and/or know what the problem is?

cachorropedorro · 12/14/2010, 08:10 AM

This worked like a charm! Thanks!

I installed Preware on my phone but cannot find the patch for Freetether. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

frhdz · 12/18/2010, 01:25 AM

yes....

I've been trying to install freetether on my Sprint Pre and haven't had much luck

Here is the error I get when trying to install the ipk (via an email attachment):

I just installed on Sprint Pre (MyTether stopped working for me). Got the "no sharing" message. Turned off bluetooth, all seems well. Thanks!

the2ndflood · 01/21/2011, 02:36 PM

Would this app work with WebOS 1.4.5? Or is this no longer possible. I don't want to tether for long periods of time, I just want to be able to use the Hotspot app, or something like it, to connect the Wifi of my Palm Pre to my iPod Touch from time-to-time. So I can download updates more easily.

voltageROCK · 02/03/2011, 08:49 AM

OK, I have Sprint, and have received an update notification, but can't update via the App Catalog. Anyone know how to update?

If you're not against ditching MHS, you should check out freeTether instead. Much better overall.

Official Thread | Wiki

The wiki has details on installation and usage along with links to their bug/features list and links to the thread too.

Good Luck!

Update what, The Hotspot app? I wouldn't advise updating the Hotspot app. If it works as-is, then just ignore the update notifications.

Were you able to get the Hotspot app working with the lastest verson of WebOS?

I need to get my pre fixed again. can someone send me the links that I need to get my pre set up properly?

thanks in advance

Just use freeTether. It's better than MHS.

Does FreeTether also turn the Pre into a mobile hotspot?

oakridge outdoors · 02/19/2011, 03:08 PM

That is exactly what it is. Plus it allows you to tether your pre/pre+ to your computer or other device via bluetooth, usb or wifi.

check out the wiki link in the op of the freetether thread.
