LG Optimus S Free Hotspot - Free & NO ROOT

Free Wi-Fi Hotspot, or wi-fi tether, is available with the LG Optimus S. It has been locked down through the standard menu options, but it can be activated with the "Hotspot Widget". There are other applications that can activate it as well but I can say for sure that this one works for sure and is free in the Android Market.

NOTE: Your phone does NOT have to be rooted for this to work.

Is there anyway to downgrade so that i can have this feature again?

[kah00na]

@SillyDJ95 I don't know of any way to downgrade it.

@ferher85, I was trying to see if something would make it work without root and just tried this and it worked.

@michealmoorehead, the widget is free and so is using it. Buy an optimistic and try it for yourself. This doesn't work on just any android phone. I've tried it on the EVO and it didn't work.

I downloaded the update from 2/12 and the hotspot widget still works as I've shown in this video.

I'm say I need a password for it.

[jugete123]

all you need for free wifi hotspot to work on 2.2.2 is download wireless tether 2.0.8, gingerbreak 1.20 and astro 3.0.2 install them and enjoy

What the fuck it still doesnt work for me

@combseric This work around was fixed around 3/21/2011 as shown in the caption in the video.

@Lardbutt200 The update that came out back around 3/21/2011 fixed the hole that this was taking advantage of. If you watch the video on a computer instead of a phone, you can see the window that says just what I told you.

[Lardbutt200]

Yeah, it activates the wifi and it shows its working but next time u make a video like this, try opening the internet on the device recieving the hotspot for proof. It doesnt work, i've tried

If you have updated gingerbread. Sprint fixed the glitch that allowed this
