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?

I even went as far as setting a password "imaphonehacker" lol..because everyone at the coffee shop I was at was trying to use my Wifi instead of the coffee shops. That's why the red icon is there in my screenshot. I had 5 people grab my signal one time

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.

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.

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.

Is there anyway for me to Reverse tether on my samsung epic?
I would like to plug my phone into my computer and use my computer's internet on my phone
I saw that the HTC thunderbolt had that option right when you plug it in and it was called "internet passthrough" where it uses ur PC's internet right on your phone.
Please let me know!

Wifi is not an option in my lab at work.
So it woudl be nice to be able to plug my phoen into my PC at work to get internet access on my phone that way.
I only get 1X in the lab as well...so tahts why i'd really like to get reverse tethering.
My coworker in the same lab uses his PC internet on his HTC thunderbolt.
When he plugs his phone into his PC he has additional option of "internet passthrough" which allows his phoen internet access through his computer

N can be either 2.4 or 5 ghz -- though the claimed "150 mbps" is usually around 75 mbps actual throughput.
The epic is wifi n I use it constantly and was the biggest reason I bought this phone. was the first phone for sprint with wifi n and bt 3.0
I'm with the poster on this one. There is no wifi at my job so plugging into computer would really help when I'm pretending to work. I see a lot of discussion but nobody has said whether this will or will not be possible

I haven't noticed anything wrong, but I don't use the Internet on my phone much when I'm home. Usually either my laptop or tablet at home, so I could miss it.
The problem might be its losing signal since the wifi signal seems weaker than my last phone which was the epic. Ive moved closer to my router and its not doing it now.

I did read a thread on here that someone was saying the wifi signal was weaker. I'd have to look for the thread.

Just to make a short story shorter, I recently went back to eco5 because I found it to be the most stable. I used the wireless hotspot hack on eg22 and eh17. Just wondering if there is a hotspot hack for eco5 or anything that could be used to do what wireless hotspot does.
I do believe last time I was on ec05 I used barnacle wifi, which was as fast as dial up, so anything but barnacle please.

The hack allows you to use the built in "Sprint Hotspot" instead of having to use a beta version of the WifiTether app. It works great as well. The hack was made compatible,with some ROMs. Our devs and themers have been adding it as well

What kernel are you running? I am on Rebirth w/Genocide kernel and I get about zero heat.
I'm using genocide, on sfr, and I get major heat too.
Also, there is a other wifi tether app on the market called Open Garden. I haven't been able to make much use of it, so I can't give you any recommendation on it, but it is there.
Sent from a secret underground bunker
Heat is always an issue with tethering. You are using the phone's 3G or 4G radio 100% of the time. This is why some tethering apps also display battery temperature.
I use open garden and it works great. It even allows my ipod to connect to my phone vs when I used the wifi tether that is included in most roms would not allow ipod to connect to phone.

What I do to eliminate the heat issue is to plug it into a wall charger or usb port and this will do 2 things 1, keep the battery from getting hot
2 keep the phone charged while your tethering, the last thing you want is to run out of battery after you've tethered god forbid you wanted to order a pizza and had no juice to make the call,, that's just scary.

There is one available, QBKing77 has a "how to" as well on youtube which includes the link for the flashable zip. As for the heat, it is what it is, I use "System Panel App" as my task killer, which has system monitor so I can check batt temp, but there really isn't much you can do to prevent it, just keep a eye on it- good luck

It's called "fast dormancy" it's a feature which puts your data connection into different states to avoid excessive battery drain.. it's actually very helpful in maintaining battery life. Do a Google search for "fast dormancy" there a a bunch of XDA threads explaining everything.
I do admit it's sometimes quite annoying. While I am tethering, I simply open a command window and ping Google endlessly. It keeps the connection always on. Annoying but it helps. Sometimes I don't even notice a difference.

Dude, data cutting off aside, that's supposed to happen as others have mentioned. Think about what you're asking, you want to constantly keep 4G connection even when you're not needing - that makes no sense. Does a bullet train go 200mph when it has no passengers? That's what you're saying.

short answer .. yes.
I've been working on this for awhile. I personally want it because I get slivers of 4g where I live but the majority is h.(3g) so I'm trying to figure a way to force only 4g(h+) but it's proving quite difficult. It's looking to be only possible via a radio edit. Meaning editing the radio to tell the phone it's only capable of 4g(h+) data connectivity.
