What speeds are you getting via 4g and wireless tether?

My phone get's 5mbps on the phone but via wireless tethering it only manages to push 1mbps....Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or it it's just me?
Shouldn't wireless tethering be close to the speed on the phone?

my evo isnt rooted but i get 11mb down and 1mb up. i use easytether. i had a mt3g rooted just for wifi tether and i dont think it was worth it. yeah it was fun and all but not worth it just for the wireless tether.
anyway i get this while tethered via usb: its also in my sig

[Q] Anyone using the hotspot functionality with iPad or anything?

First post. So, I have a Evo but I won a iPad (wifi only) online the other day and i'm thinking about keeping it or selling it. I know Sprint has a Hotspot option that you can use on the phone but I don't want to pay $30/month for it which is crazy in my opinion. I downloaded EasyTether off the appstore so I can tether for free which is great on my laptop, but if I keep the iPad and take it around with me i want to be able to get online with it, so it would be great to have the Hotspot functionality on my phone. I know you can activate hotspot functionality by rooting the Evo, but I just updated to 2.2 and as far as I am aware there is no 2.2 root option yet.
So in the meantime I guess I was just wondering if anyone who has a iPad uses the Evo's hotspot functionality. I was also curious in general how it performs over 3G with wifi devices and if there is any option like Easy Tether so you can use hotspot functionality for free until there is a root for 2.2 on Evo?
Thanks for any input/answers and I look forward to contributing to the forums.

If You Root Your Phone You'd Now Be Able To Use Froyo (2.2) With Wireless Tether 2.0.5-pre7 I'm Actually Posting This From My LapTop On Fresh 3.1.0.1 Using The Above Named Wireless Tether.. My Girl's Cousin Has A WiFi Only Ipad And I Was Letting Him Use My Wifi Tether To Connect And It Was Working Flawlessly.. Congrats On Winning The IPad

We took a trip to the mountains a week ago. I used the EVO hotspot utility to connect my laptop and my wife's ipad and my son's ipod touch to the internet all at the same time! Worked like a charm! just remember to change the default setting at set a new SSID and password.

I believe that if you can connect with your laptop you should be able to connect with your iPad. I've always been able to connect with my iPad whether it was adhoc or AP mode.

Well i started paying for the 30 bucks option becuase the free wifi cap my speeds real bad and i was rooted back then but now im stock with rooted icons wierd but dont work but works awsome the hotspot for me i have 3 360 coneected amd 2 ps3 and my msi netbook connected and works bad ass i love it yea some lag but it ok for me

Well, I can connect my Laptop to my Evo via USB using EasyTether Lite so I can get online with my laptop for free but I need free Hotspot functionality so I can use it with my iPad, but idk what I could do since I updated my Evo to 2.2.

I don't know if this will help you but there is a chance you can downgrade your Evo and then root it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915

hold your ipad differently, or buy a case.

I find people that type with caps on the first letter of every word to be very annoying. And there's no point.

I know that iPods (3rd gen) aren't able to connect to AP networks, since I've hosted from my laptop before and it couldn't see it.

If you want the iPad, keep it. It sound like the iPad can connect to even AP infrastructure networks. Although I'm pretty sure the Hotspot app, and wireless tether, both aren't AP network (although I don't know what it hosts, that's not my area ).
Basically, Hotspot would work if you felt like $30. Otherwise I'd wait for 2.2 to get rooted.
I honestly don't know what I'm saying anymore cause I'm watching tv and writing this. And there's models...

Oops I wasn't aware that EasyTether was done through USB. In that case, since you don't have root and upgraded to 2.2, you can either set up internet sharing on your laptop and connect using adhoc mode, or pay the $30 for the official tethering.

or you can pay $0 to root your phone, install any 2.2 ROM, and use android wifi tether.

Froyo (Android 2.2) has Wi-fi Hotspot capability: no need to root
Froyo (Android 2.2) has Wi-fi Hotspot capability: no need to root
Either 1: Open up your Apps page and look for the widget "Wi-Fi Hotspot" (on my Desire it is placed just before the YouTube widget"
or 2: open Settings, Wireless & networks and select "Portable Wi-fi Hotspot"
This has allowed me to connect my iPad via my Desire's data connection.

the desire on official froyo unrooted has a hotspot widget preinstalled as mentioned above.
my friends iphone and laptop spotted it fine. so no reason why an ipad wouldnt find it.
i note that evo can connect to many devices as can be seen from other posts here, but the htc desire has a max limit of 2 devices via the wifi hotspot at a time, although i dont know if you could connect more devices by using usb tether and bluetooth tether at the same time too. you dont need apps from anywhere for wifi or usb tether on 2.2 official version. i dont know if 2.2 allows bluetooth tether but if satnav devices can piggy back to net connection on phones i dont see why tethering cant be done but might be slow. there are apps on cnet for wifi and blueetooth tethering (cnet editor reviewed apps).

I believe the Sprint approved version of Froyo has Android WiFi removed and replaced by their own app.
Now that it's possible to root, I installed wireless-tether 2.0.5-pre9.
My iPad connects, but no Internet access!

Ipad works fine
I use the Wireless Tether with my IPAD all the time works great I am using Fresh 3.3.0.1

Hotspot and wireless tether are both AP, zune hd doesn't do adhoc and i was able to connect to my evo with it

Evo teathering to xbox

My house flooded so I had to move my xbox and its not with the router any more, is there any way I can target it to my xbox? I'm running virus rom anthrax series and stock usb and wifi tether are unlocked. Any ideas?
Swyped from my supersonic

with a computer you can, plug xbox into the computer and get the computer connected to the internet through the phone then in network connection bridge the two connections, otherwise without a wifi adapter on your xbox you can't

If you tether through your EVO via WiFi Hotspot, you can. Note that your ping time will be horrendous, you will never be host, and people will hate you for having such a laggy connection and slowing down the entire game.

with your xbox connected to pc and pc connected to internet open your network connections, highlight both and right click on the wifi one and chose bridge connections
or you can just right click on the wifi one and in properties I think there is share internet option

OP xbox is an original model with no built in wifi and has wifi in house already

Is it possible to use wireless tether for xbox? (I have the xbox slim)

For all to read:
Any device that has a wireless adapter that can pick up WIFI signal can use your phones Tethering abilities. So if you have the wireless adapter for your Xbox 360, then yes, you can tether your phones internet and use that as your connection. Just go about it just like you would if you were searching for a routers connection. Note that the ping time will be horrendous. Normal ping times for a 1MB/S download speed is about 30-60ms on a DSL or cable internet connection. Through your phones 3g you are looking at close to a 150ms ping or probably more depending on the signal strength of your phone. I personally have never tried to use my phones internet with Xbox live but going from a generalization in the gaming world, you want to have the lowest ping time possible.(i.e. if your in a game such as Call of Duty and your ping time is terrible and you encounter an enemy, he can actually walk around the corner of a building and see you before you get the chance to shoot him and shoot you first)
But if you want to try it out and see how it is:
Tether your internet to your laptop.
Run a Cat-5 cable from your laptop to your xbox.
Go into your network manager in your computer and share the internet connection.

USB Tethering Issues...

Okay so I've tried 4 different types of tethering on my phone.
Wireless Tethering (Works great)
USB Tethering (Works great except no 4G)
PDANET (Works but NO 4G / Random Disconnects)
Easy Tether (Works the best , WITH 4G, but random disconnects)
So wireless tethering is fine and that isn't my problem.
PDANET along with Easy Tether for some reason both keep dropping connection randomly. It could be 20 minutes, it could be 1 minute, it could be 10 minutes, but the dang connection keeps getting dropped for some reason. I've tried looking and settings left and right but I don't know what it is and I don't know how to fix it.
USB Tethering with Froyo works great. I don't get any dropped connections except the dang 4G won't work! I get 2 bars in my apartment, but as soon as I run USB Tethering, 4G drops, 3G runs, and 4G scans, finds sprint, and drops.
I don't have 4G issues with my phone at all, only tethering with PDANET and USB Tethering.
If I can get some help from you guys, it would be either of these >>
Easy Tether : Figure out how to stop the random disconnections
USB Tethering : Figure out how to make 4G stay and let me connect with 4G
I have tried looking online for 4 hours. Every page on google has been turned purple because I visited them all. I need some help

easy tether cannot be fixed, usb tether cannot have 4g

USB tethering to a WIFI router

I would like to be able to connect my PS3 to my 3G/4G connection via a WIFI router. I have a Cradlepoint CTR35 3G router as well as a Zoom 4501 3G router that I have attempted to USB tether and WIFI tether (using the repeater feature) my phone to. I am on Caulkin's 2.8.1 rom, EL29 modem, which has the unlocked Sprint hotspot and USB tethering features. On both routers, I am unable to get the "3G connected" light to turn on indicating internet access. Are there any routers that are compatible with the Epic 4G Touch? Is there a better way of doing this? My PS3 does not see the AD-HOC connection if I just use the Sprint Hotspot app. My laptop connects directly just fine to both USB tethering and WIFI tethering. I greatly appreciate your input! Thanks

Use the hot spot app in calks it does infrastructure

I have Caulkin's 2.8.1 and under apps it has a Sprint Hotspot app. That is what I am using for the WIFI tethering attempts. I need to do some further testing with the WIFI tethering to the router, but my main concern is to be able to USB tether to a router that supports the Epic 4G Touch and currently neither of the 3G routers I have purchased work in USB tether or WIFI tether.....need some insight. Thanks

The Sprint hotspot app creates an infrastructure connection, and not adhoc.
I don't see why you are trying to connect the Epic Touch to yet another router when it IS itself a router via the hotspot app, and up to 8 devices.

what your saying is true.. and yes the person did say ad hoc doesnt work, but if you read it, he also stated just using the hotspot app doesnt work.. regardless, my suggestion would be to just get internet at home and buy a regular router id like to see you play a high end game online with a 3g/4g connection lol.. either your phone is messed up, or your not setting it up properly.. because like ppl have said, the hotspot app turns your phone into a wireless router already..

I just tested connecting the PS3 to my E4GT using the Sprint Hotspot app on Calk's ROM and it works perfectly fine.
