Are you guys trying to download this patch via wget or curl or something? If I download it with my browser, it's fine. But if I use wget, my download ends up being the source of this page plus a message telling me to log in.

The patch isn't working for me... It works fine if I use free tether to enable IP forwarding, but if i reboot and try to use mobile hotspot with the patch installed it doesn't work. My laptop gets local access only, it won't hit the internet. Doesn't seem to be getting an ip address. Any ideas? I installed the patch using the latest version of quick install.

I think the main thread of the app is gone. =\

works for me, sometimes it wont get an IP but if I refresh and wait about 30 seconds it loads

Very cool!! Thanks for getting this up so quickly!

[honda07si]

the main thread for the app. and everything that was said earlier today is gone. Also it's labeled for the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus in preware Mobile Hotspot

[honda07si]

i installed the App in preware, and installed freetether and got a pop up message from Sprint basically saying you don't have the plan for this please contact your service provider.

EDIT:!!!! now in preware it says this app is not available for your carrier..... 15 min ago it let me download and install it


i honestly think Sprint is getting smarter with this .... glad i still have Mytether

EDIT2: even the link for Mobile Hotspot on the front page of precentral doesn't work anymore

all along, you don't really have a lot of positive things to say in the many pages of the original thread. So yes, on behalf of many of us, I would like to say that we are all still glad that you have mytether, and are happy with it.

well sorry for being optimistic about a official App. for the Palm Pre Plus on verizon when in use on Sprint thinking Sprint will catch on and stop it from happening.

I also tried to install everything when i got home from work like is said.... just doesn't work no harm done

I already had freetether installed and installed Hotspot today....it is no longer working for me either yet I received no popup message from sprint....

My laptop could connect to my Pre yet no web pages would load.....Im guessin Sprint axed it as well

who knows anymore i give up on Mobile Hotspot i just dont like the idea of using a official tethering App. for tethering on Sprints network .... just seem like it'd be easier for sprint to track you down and say you've been tethering blah blah blah

[roger69504]

good point

First Two Posts

EDIT: Apparently, the "Link is Broken"...

Jason Robitaille also has a thread on this @here

More or less:

• Install freeTetherD ( Pre Users Click Here | Pixi Users Click Here | Emulator Users Click Here ) NOTE: I'm not sure how long this will be relevant, but each link points to version 0.0.3 of the freeTetherD Service
• Install the Mobile HotSpot App ( At the time of the posting, the version is 1.0.3 )
• Finally, installing Jason Robitaille's patch

I followed this order & it worked perfectly =]

EDIT: New IPK link.

OMG, the entire original thread went "poof"!
I tested MHS at 9am and it is still working, though.

That is weird I notice the whole thread gone as well. I notice a 1.06 mobile hot spot up but I guess we won't be getting that one.

That is the Verizon version only. When it was in the App Catalog via Preware feeds, I tried to install it. But it resetted my phone and the app went poof. Just like the original thread. I wonder what happened and if we'll ever get an explanation.

Thanks for that info. They must have noticed it being used on the wrong device and somehow modified the code to be Verizon phone only. Which leads to the next issue... it is quite possible they will release the next version of WebOS for Sprint with something that will mung the older hotspot code. Since they have updated the new one to be locked to Verizon phones, the project will quickly end.

And, as I pointed out in the original thread that is now gone, there is nothing to prevent Palm from adding code to the OS tethering service that hotspot uses, to "phone home", giving them instant feedback that someone is tethering.... no more guessing, no more packet analysis.

k



Here's an updated patch that should handle a LOT better and avoid the some issues a few people were reporting. Highly recommend people use this version over the earlier patch


And for the record, I'm using the Sprint App Catalog and I'm not seeing any available update for Mobile Hotspot 1.0.3.

It's possible that it was a Preware issue, with Preware showing the 1.0.6 update even theough it's not available for your device.

Worked for me right out of the box. Installed the freetether ipk, the mobile hotspot ipk, then the hotspot patch in that order. No problems.

thanks for this patch, works great!
