Sprint 3g slow? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else feeling like 3g is super slow? I just moved to l.a and my 3g hangs and is slower than usual.... I can't even play youtube videos like before. Now I have to let it load for a couple minutes :\
Just asking if anyone else is experiencing lag in the l.a area or anywhere in general.... and is there a fix?

3G turbocharger by Zepplinrox is a miracle worker used to get .60mbs download now pushing almost 2 and half mbs full bars I'll link you to it in a minute... make sure you find the 3G Turbocharger RC 3.txt and have script manager from the market... and I'll give you instructions unless you want to read the thread about it.

Id appreciate instructins

If I am using a custom rom like CleanGB, does that already have the 3G charger built in?

I'm using cleanGB :\

Nope.... some roms though may incorporate another linux tweak but most don't okay instructions
1. Open script manager and find the rc3.txt
2. A screen will pop up and make sure that the su icon is green or checked this means your running as root. Hit run
3. The command line will go through its script and at the end it will give you 6 options to choose from to boost speed.
4. There is not best option you need to play with them. So prior to installation you should run a speedtest.net to see what your current stats are.
5. Select whichever option I use epieremental 1, and reboot.
6. Run a test and see if its better
7. Test all of them and see which has the best result for you.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

No it doesn't eat through battery even regualr 3g does that
It adds values to your build.prop to edit your 3g connectivity

Thank you for linking us to this. The forum page seems terribly confusing - do I simply need to
1. install script manager and copy the script
2. install the script
3. choose speed option
Anything else?
Edit: Also am I downloading the entire V6 script here or am I looking for just the 3G? Please link me directly to the script I need to implement these tweaks?
Thanks!

I'm trying to download it and it keeps saying unsuccessful

Wifi fixer is if you think wifi is broken it will delete the wpa_supplicant.inf which usually fixes broken wifi connections after a reboot

Not seeing nova 2 either which as stated seems very odd.

Yeah quite a few apps are listed as incompatible. But if you get the apk and install manually they work fine.
EDIT: This is where downloading apk's from somewhere else and loading into the phone manually comes in handy if you trust the source.

Wi-Fi Tether Issues... Help!!

I believe my phone is rooted... & I was able to use my phone as a modem, using the wi-fi tether app, for a long time.. Then I didn't use it for months. I tried to use it today, but I don't think it's working any longer.
Are there any specific setting that I need to set, in order for it to work? Is there anything I need to look or check for, to make sure it's all good? Is there anything I CAn download to make it work for sure??

I use this app it's "wifi tether for root users" I've used it on GB,ics and jb as long as you're rooted all you gotta do is click the button to start the hotspot.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Same here... Wifi tether for root users is what I use for all platforms... GB, ICS, and KB. Reinstall the version I told you to get and do exactly what I said and it should work fine. Don't change anything except phone profile to galaxy nexus CDMA/LTE. When you change the profile in the apps settings it should say toro briefly and disappear. Make sure you have the version I mentioned above... Or pm me and I will email you the apk file. And yes you must have some signal to get any of the tether apps to work

Could always try Fox Fi (If it hasn't been mentioned) should work without Root as well. (I typically don't tether much if at all so cant' really chime in on it too much) i do have a friend who uses it constantly at work with no issues.
Ok either try clear clearing cache and dalvik cache in recovery... Reboot and install the wifi apk and do it again. Our maybe get FoxFi or a Custom ROM with sprint hotspot hacked... If you p.m. i'll give you the best chances for free wifi

[MOD/APP] Updated 3/21/13 Custom Apps When Headphones Connected

I saw it asked in the FK23 threads and it peaked my curiosity, so a little searching and some messing around and here's what I came up with..
This is NOT my work!
First I want to thank xCaldazar from the Verizon S3 forums for his guide here
Edit - Thanks to Mattix724 for finding this - and to rickythefox, after posting this I found several posts linking to a thread that I didn't see. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763441
He has made an app that will do this and he also has a mod for the sgs3 :beer:
Edited the guide and mod I made out as the app does this flawlessly, just make sure you have an updated version of busy box :beer:
Was given permission by rickythefox (Thank him in his thread please ) to port his mod for 12 apps listed when headphones are connected. So here is the new ported 12_app_headphone_mod.zip - 249.81 KB
Also, I forgot to mention, you need to download the app rickythefox made here in order for this to work!
Edit- Updated to work with GB08/GB27
Thanks TD for doing this while I was stuck at work LOL
Also for being kind enough to provide deodexed and odexed versions:thumbup:

This may be old news, but I got WiFi Tether for Root Users to work on our T989 running JB 4.2.1. Change the default device to "generic ics/jelly bean wlan01" and set the network settings to "auto". Set the channel to "xxxWlan01" and force the driver updates.

Possible fix for wifi tethering in cm10.1
How to have it working : Stop the Wifi, go on internet and look at your IP. In adb, do netcfg.
It will show you a line like that : vsnet0 UP 10.95.95.175/32 0x000010d1 00:00:00:
So, here, [vsnet0] is the [INTERFACE]. <----
Just after, do su -c "iptables -tnat -A natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/16 -o [INTERFACE] -j MASQUERADE"
Oh, use Terminal Emulator.
Thanks for your helpful and informative participation.

I did the $1.99 one month subscription to hot spot shield, and then it let me have full speed. I double checked with speedtest on the comp. Also with the subscription you don't get all the popup ads on your phone. You have to use the trevemods wifi app. Hits thanks if I helped
I have a quick question, though this might not be the place to ask. I just acquired this sweet little device and haven't had the opportunity to root yet so I'm stock. I have my s2 prepaid on the$70 monthly plan. I have this app called foxfi to use as my mobile hotspot. It works fine when I connect to my PC however after while the Web pages will pull up to t mobiles Web page saying some BS about paying for hotspot. Now on my account app its says that my data plan is null but my data works fine. Any thoughts?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure about the prepaid plan, but with the method I'm using you have to be rooted. So far it's the only way around the upsell pages with full internet that I have found for our phones. No changing u.a. strings or anything like that.
