I noticed that I can tether my evo with my Chromebook. Is this because I have the Hotspot enabled or was it overlooked by Sprint? I really wonder because I could never do it with my windows laptop. The only difference in the phone is Jelly bean vs ICS.

You would need to have tethering enabled on your plan or be using a custom ROM that has tethering hacked in to work for free.  Be advised that tethering without having it on your plan violates the T&Cs and is not a conversation allowed at S4GRU.

 

If you have the hotspot added to your plan, then you should have no issue.

Thats what I am trying to figure out. Is it part of the hotspot or not. Clearly if it is not then it is a TOS violation and thats what I am trying to figure out. I would much rather tether than use the hotspot if it is not a violation.

 

 

Wait, you can have tethering specifically enabled? I have never seen that.

Is this the official Sprint Hotspot app or a 3rd party tethering app?

Check your bill. If you do not have tethering enabled on the account, then you would be violating the TOS. If it is a hotspot then your chromebook would just look like it is connecting via wifi.
