ok, so I have the WiFi tether app and I use it to hook up to my Wii to watch netflix, only problem is, speeds suck! They are always in the 50-60 kB/s range, where if I do a speed test on my phone, it is 100 or better, if i download from the market, it gets close to 200, if i use easy tether pro on my pc its at least 100, even with barnacle its 100 or better, so why this crappy performance? Help? I don't think the Wii can use ad-hoc clients such as barnacle either, how do I speed this up? The speed is there, its just bein unused...

Try using the built in version of WiFi tether

I have used the WiFi hotspot app included in newts incredible 2 3d ROM with the same results, I just don't understand how easy tether pros usb app produces over twice the speed, I can see a slight reduction in speed and responsiveness cause of wireless, but over half? Somethings not right...

So basically I can start my hotspot and connect to it from NY computer but there is no internet and I did the usual hack of changing the security and default profile names. Any ideas why I get no connectivity ?

I tried *228 and then redid everything but still no internet.
I cant figure it out i have a feeling this is going to be like my contact sync (just stopped working one day hasnt ever worked since on my one account although all other accounts work)
Is this a Verizon app or wireless tether? I recommend the latter.

Sorry, but I've only used tether which works perfectly. I haven't even tried stock, and I'm way too busy to attempt to try right now. Hopefully someone else with more experience or free time will step in.

Doesn't Verizon charge you for their Wireless Tether service?
(Which is one more reason to root your phone in the first place)
If rooted, try Barnacle. It works great for me.
Verizion does charge for their wifi hot spot so if you are not paying them for it that is why it is not working.

Yea, I thought so.
I also can't get any tethering app to work right. After awhile none will load video and they all stopped working all together after 50mb or si.

What ROM are you using? Is your phone Rooted? Are you running any Task Killer/Manager apps?
I had that happen after I switched (updated) radios, and then tried a couple other versions. The hotspot needs to be reactiviated after a radio switch (or so it seems). After following the directions, then rebooting, it seems fine again.
I also use wireless tether, but for me it's a push between them except the hotspot allows the droid to be seen as infrastructure.
Switching radios didnt cause wireless tether to stop working, so I wonder if it had anything to do with changing the throttling in services.jar?
I'm using virtuous 3.1 and the 7.28 radio. For some reason both wireless tether and easytether pro both crap out at a similar point. They both do it with or without the? Uncapping mod. They also just completely stop loading video a little before crapping out all together

Make sure you're not running any Task Manager/Killer app as I used to run Virtuous 3.1 with Advanced Task Manager and it caused problems for me. Also try running an update on the roaming (*228 option 2).

I just upgraded from the Eris to dinc2 yesterday, rooted and am running twisted Rom, but I can't get wireless tether to work, the comp will connect, but sometimes it says limited connectivity and won't load anything, I've only come across a couple people asking about this, but no solution, so I'm posting to see what answers I get.
I need wireless so I can put my phone in a different room for better signal...
What are you using for tethering?
I use Barnacle Wifi Tether and have no problem.
I tried barnacle and the wireless tether and neither worked for me. I wouldn't think it'd be a Rom issue since the comp connects
I tried a different roms and the only one that work tethering is the skyrider rom 3000..,
Try an older version of wireless tether.
I had the same problem until I changed to a older version. Now works great.
Or you can try to download the latest version of android wifi tether and enable clamping and routing fix.
This solution has worked with every ROM I have used.

I prefer miui over any sense rom why? Well is very snappy plus you can customize it in ways you can't do a sense rom, plus miui has a million themes you can choose from and miui has a very nice polished look and you still get some what of the 3d effects plus a few more options to scroll your home screen that no sense rom has. Also wifi hotspots and tethering are built in no need for an app to use it

I like GoLauncher with the transition effect set to random. It's the little things.
I use the wireless tether that is in the settings in CM7, and sometimes, when I connect with a computer to its wifi signal, I get "Low signal/no connectivity" when my phone is right next to the computer. I've found that turning the wireless tether on and off a few times fixes this.

Turns out it was just the ROM I was using, the TwistedSense v1.0.1 wasn't lettin me tether, I'm runnin the TSMGingerBlissMede 0.1 now, pretty nice ROM, but super laggy on screen touch response...probably gonna try somethin else today, I like the lockscreen though, I'm new to the inc2, coming from the eris, so I guess that's just a 3.0 lockscreen huh?
So far all AOSP Roms have worked for me. I tether on CM7 instead of using my disgusting campus WIFI lol

Notice I said my results should be 30d and 15up.. and that my home non wifi reads correctly.. only my phone shows weird backwards results it seems. Was wondering if anyone else has this issue with the new software or with the app itself. Also my laptop shows 30d 15u.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
If your home pc is wired to your router then of course it would tend to be higher. Average wireless speed is slower then wired speed.Try a 5GHz wireles N router and you should see a lot better speeds. Make sure the phone is set to use the 5GHz N protocol.
OK.. so I don't think u guys are reading it correctly..I know wired is faster and I do have a dual n router. There is no way I should be showing 36up load on my service if one I pay for 15max and two my wired and wireless computer only show 15 also.
Phone shows -15down and 36 up ..
Paid servise - 30down 15 up.
Wired connection 30down 15up.
Notice the phone is showing double the upload as I pay for and double what wired shows. Either something is jacked on phone or the app went to crap. If u don't mind test yours and see if the reading is what seems to be backwards on yours.

Those are the fastest uploads I've ever seen! I wouldn't call that a problem I would call it a blessing Try uploading a video (know what size it is) to youtube app and time it. Then do the math and report. Wont be as fast as benchmark because the packets have error correction and such but if it's truly 30 up then you should see at least 20-25up to youtube.
Once i get home ill try one. I think its a bug.. either app or the newest software for gs3.

Try uninstalling the speedtest app and then reinstall. That is odd I've never seen an issue like that before.
Have you tried going to speedtest.net website? You will need a third party browser (for example dolphin) and use a different user agent (PC). Curious to know if its the app itself.

Hi
I noticed with Youtube app, when I watch HD video, I experience heavy lag when I'm on wifi, when I turn off wifi and use 4g the lag is gone, I switch back to wifi, the lag is there again.
When I switched to 4G, it's still on HD mode.
My 4G is around 8MB up 1MB down, wifi 15-20MB up 12-15 MB down, so it doesn't make any sense why I'm experiencing lag on wifi, but not on 4G.
I tried to check any setting on wifi, but I didn't see option that might limiting my wifi.
Anyone else having the same problem, any help?
Ps: The problem seems only happens with Youtube, I dont have this problem with Netflix nor Viki.
Thanks in advance.
I've been experiencing the same problem of late. It got so annoying, I stopped using the app and just run YouTube via Dolphin Browser.

It's definitely something in the app itself, I can see the embedded YouTube HDin flipboard just fine, something about the wifi buffering setting in the app must be messed up, since slower 4G works better than faster wifi.

Honestly, that's probably the smallest ROM you'll get, you can remove a lot of stuff from the system like ringtones, notification sounds, etc.

I let the kids play with my spare Epic as a gaming device. Just keep it in airplane mode w/ wifi enabled. Then I hide the phone app in the launcher so they're not opening it by accident.
I doubt any reasonable amount of space would be recovered by removing the phone app altogether.
