Ok I have read that Wireless N was enabled by an OTA and I also read that you need to perform a hack to get it... So now I am confused.. Which one is it and how do I do it if a hack is required?

the Wireless N hack was for Eclair. Froyo does not need the hack.

just dont think your are going to see anything close to N speeds though... it cant.
if i recalled and i dont hqve the right app installed to verify, but i think you are limited to a max of something like 65mbps. so that is a farfarfar cry from N and only slightly better than 54G.

I just want better connectivity and faster speeds than what I get now.. I am 1 wall away from my 6yr old wireless g router and my evo struggles to hit 1mbps download speeds and drops to 1 bar.. I hate it! Would be nice to get 4g like speeds on wifi... Like 3-10mbps down.. So I just ordered a dlink wireless n xtreme router.. Hope it works better than what I currently have.

Wireless N on my EVO?
Well, a WiFi connection to your Wireless N router will much exceed 3G and 4G from my experience, you will be happy. BTW: I have a Froyo EVO, just tested it, forced my LinkSys WRT350N to accept WirelessN only, connected with no issue.

Any clue why my wireless tether only let's me have about 200k down? Tried it on several devices with the same result. Xoom, desktop, and laptop. Speed test on the phone shows pretty consistant 900kbps, I can understand some loss with overhead, but less than 1/4 the speed seems a little extreme.
I'm using the pre14? API...I think. It's been really slow since day 1, slower than my hero - but I just started testing speeds today.
I'm on ee03 if it matters.

Yeah, just like john said, open up tethering, make sure the device is set on Epic, once that is done, turn on 4g, done. Wait, are you by any chance running the tethering openly or did u set a password on it?

If it is 4g its slower than my iowa 3g. I use tether as my primary internet for my pc at home. I kinda got the same issue 1.2mbps down on the phone, and I only get maybe 160kbps down on the tower.

I've seen a couple threads and I'm a bit confused.
I know the new plan doesn't have wifi hotspot... Not like that service really mattered.
Was wondering for those who are on the new plan. Can you still tether?

I'm just gonna put my two cents in, I'm not on the plan, might get the s3 with this plan. But, from my knowledge, there is no way for them to know what's using your data unless you're on a stock ROM.

I was wondering this very question myself.
Tethering is still working for me after I made the switch yesterday. Hopefully I don't get charged though.. even though I don't use tether, it's good to know that everything works on my phone. How would i know I'm being charged for it? I didn't receive any "warning" popups or anything like that before continuing.. do I just have to wait for my next bill??
I wonder if they can develop some methods that could detect your tethering and block it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I had the tether feature free when i upgrade to 5G and now I'm on this new plan and the rep told me that i still keept my free tether and my other line will have it free as well...
but gosh Tmobile just got bad after they close the calls center with reps I had to talk to 4 people for one simple reason cause none of these new foreign knows what their talking about. so im not sure if i still have the tether will see.

Only by puting an APP on your device. I know a little bit about networking, and thats the only way. packets are packets. the user-agent is the only way to see what type of browser it is. but like i said before, a lot of android browsers use the desktop user agent.
But why would/should any carrier stop it? Especially if you are on a tiered plan. Its YOUR data, use it how YOU want. PERIOD. wethere you are streaming on your laptop, or streaming on your phone and using an MHL conector to your TV, its STILL streaming. Period.

For those unable to tether and being sent to that page, You could try using a different tethering app. Try foxfi, my dad is a tmo employee and doesnt have tethering on his plan, but says tethering works perfectly fine on his stock unrooted t989 with foxfi. I might also recommend cwm tethering.

They need to show that because they need a
fixed number. It's the same with minutes, i remember a while ago they had something like 999999 minutes. That's a long time ago though lol. But do you honestly think you'll use 10000GB lol

Yeah thats from the mobile site? They're probably slowly updating yo hide the number and showing unlimited instead... TMobile aren't exactly the best at web developing... Remember their slow and crappy websites when trying to check your usage. It's a tad better now lol.
Anyways, it looks like there are mixed reviews, but i assume native tethering is no good but some 3rd parties are still good? Keep the feedback coming fellas

Cool deal. Sounds like your phone's wifi is borked. Now how about some information.
Stock
S-off/on
Htcdev unlock
Yeah, rooted or not? If its not, go into bootloader and try doing a factory reset and check again
May just be a corrupted system, so if you root it then you could try flashing another rom to see if that fixes it
My bad yeah its still stock.. I already did the factory reset twice.. talked to sprint customer care.. they said I need to talk to the local sprint store... I think if I root it and put a good ROM on it that it might fix it..
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Okay so a used or refurbished? If you have no warranty on it by all means root, s-off, and never look back. There are two things that can be your problem. Bad software on system or bad hardware on board. If it is hardware well no wifi but if it is software than you will then have a full rooted super fast evo.
50/50 odds wifi/nofi with no variables added yet.
Bad ota update would make it around 70/30
Next bad htc software 75/25 wifi/nofi
Sure I say go for it. I am doing one as we speak. While taking apart a cheesy Inspire to see if I can get the buttons working after it dived into a wall.

It may be his router causing the issue if it worked at sprint. If its hardware the radio is replaceable and fairly cheap these days. As long as you know how to work a screw driver and aren't a clumsy oaf, all you need to do is open it up extract the part carefully and order a replacement. Then replace it, button it up and give it a test run. Ifixit has the tear down to show you where and how to replace the radio

It could still be the router/phone combo. I know my sons kindle fire didn't like certain network types. It wouldn't even see ad-hoc and wouldn't connect to infrastructure with security. There could be a setting on the evo that isn't playing nice with the network settings or vice versa. Could be hardware, or software. Make sure sprint connections optimizer is off under network settings > more > mobile networks. You could also try reinstalling the firmware with an ruu and see if maybe the radios need updated or something in /system is corrupted

Hi all, so I'm coming here from my htc evo 3d which was s-off rooted romed all that. I never noticed until I switched to my desire but it seems that my 3d doesn't send data useage back to virgin mobile! I have not once in over 2 years of use ever been throttled down, as a matter of fact never even went close to 1gb of data! Now I turned on my desire and got throttld in about 4 days into my plan! I use the tether alot, on my 3d I used wifi tether trev mod, but can't seem to get it working on the desire? Does anyone have any ideas how this happened to my 3d and more importantly how do I get my desire to do this!!!?
confirmed no data usage
Figured I'd update this and say that I've confirmed my evo 3d doesn't report data back to Virgin!! When using wifi tether I downloaded 2 movies to my laptop about 3.5gb of data, and nothing shows up on my account. I'm in my third week of my plan and have used only 4mb of data! I use pandora for hours ata time, Netflix like crazy, update and add new apps no data use! My desire ran it up to 2309.8mb in 4 days, switched back to my 3d three weeks ago downloaded almost 4gb of movies torrents to test and I'm at 2313.8mb! Unlimited, free data, no throttling! I wish someone would help me out with this! I'll supply backups, logcats whatever is needed!!! Someone must be interested in this!

I know, right!? I figured someone would want to figure this out for all our benefits! Who doesn't need Truely unlimited data with no throttling, ever!! My brand new phone is collecting dust while I'm still using my almost 3yr old 3d because of this! And I don't know how it happened!! Any ideas? Maybe know someone who can help?

If there is a way to bypass the data throttling it's most likely illegal, and is not allowed on these forums.
Buuuuutttt...
Its not really bypassing the throttling, I think somehow its just not telling virgin what its doing? When I logg into my virgin account to check how much data has been used it doesn't show any. How do they know how much your using? Your phone must report it back to them? Somehow mine isn't, maybe somekind of setting or program in the phone that says " ok, I'm on your network using this" and mine is shut off or not working? Idk, but I'm desperate to find out! If it can't go on forum, p.m. me or email me.

Wait the Evo 3D doesn't have LTE, I'm pretty sure the throttling is only for LTE.

Yeah several, its rooted and s-off. I've run so many differnt ROMs I don't know if one of them did something that stuck? But I've also tried changing ROMs and it still does the same.

It's possible that a ROM did something. Or maybe your just a rare person who doesn't get throttled? Are you and your friend you mentioned with the s2 on the same plan/share an account?
Completly seperate prepaid accounts. The usaege screen on my phone shows that from 10/22-11/18 I've used 8.33MB of data, from 9/22-10/22 I used a whopping 99.94MB!!
