When I do a speed test from my phone I get anywhere
from 16 to 23 megs down and 3 to 8 megs up. using the
same app speedtest.net which we have a corp account with.
so I sign in do a test on my phone take a reading.
turn on tethering go to speedtest.net login run the same test
and only get like 1.5 down and 300 or so kbs up. Thats the max
I ever get. Now if I switch to my HTC Sensation I can get an easy
8 to 9 megs down and 4 megs up so its differently our phone. So does
anyone have an idea how to fix this?
One thing that the Samsung tethering tool sucks at is there's no config changing of the wifi channal and other important crap.
Is there a better config tool?
thanks
casperi.

Has anybody with rooted Gnex tried this add to build prop hack? saw it over in the GSII forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087729&page=5
Ran speed test 10 times, and all tests showed double the download speeds, yet setting status is still showing HSDPA 9, when i changed it to 14 in the build.prop. I average about 3 down, .75-1 here in Missoula, with the build prop text addition, i'm getting 5-7 down, 1-1.5 up. Very interesting, yet it doesn't make sense. Anybody else willing to try this and see what results you get and sharing with me? thanks.
After a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK to get this thing flashed over, I finally got the AN-AAA to say pass and the 3G symbol is always on. However its painfully slow.
I managed to download speedtest and this is what I got:
994ms
41kbps down
72 kbps up
any ideas?
EDIT:
highest I got was 129ms/ 1.20 mpbs / .10 with RevA
any way to speed this up?

Have you tried calling VM and telling them to reset you data connection?
And Congrats on getting the Epic4G Touch on VM, I recently got mine on VM too.
you think that would do it?
I think I should wait a while if I do that though. I don't want them to get suspicious.
Somehow error 16 got triggered and I had to call that special number, only took 10 minutes though.
the more tests I do, the more my average is like 150ms / .50 / .50 yuck...
Sounds l like you have your AAA and HA correct but ppp is not authenticating.. if you can't do an ota update profile then something is wrong. Try Googling for my blog, see if it helps you out any.

I have gotten error 16, that just happens when the System fails to authenticate you phone, but they will simply reset it. What programs have you tried using to get the info from the donor phone onto the Epic 4G Touch?
Also by simply dialing ##33284# and going to the EVDO menu under the AA-AAA it should say PASS to get full 3G. If it says FAIL then your only going to get 1x, even though the icon may say 3G.
When I flashed mine a used QPST and DFS Tools (Mostly for the AA/AAA keys).
used DFS/QPST/QXDM to pull from op v
AN-AAA is pass, and my speeds have been improving as time goes on. 1.75 down average / .50 up
I can't remember the last time I did a speed test on my op v so I don't have a baseline number.
Brooks said something about PPP as well. How can I check to get it authenticated?
If your getting 1.75 mbps down then you should be fine. I would just monitor it for a while, cause sometimes on sprint based Rom it likes to try to go back to default settings. You might want to try out CM9 rom its the only one currently that the MMS fix works with.

damn, I wish i could get that sort of speed, on my premium data plan
I figured out how PPP authentication, I don't have my meid on one of the um/an tabs. However I'm not changing jack, it took me a full day and a ton of help to figure out how to get 3G to stick.
yeah I'll flash the rom to cm9 and see what I get, should be interesting. I'll report back with my speed.
Don't forget the part where virgin mobile throttles your speeds after a certain cap

Yeah if you use more than 2.5GB you get throttled, which isn't to bad.
vipersilver, you might want to also check out the WimaxHidden menu in CM9, that will help you get 4G. I don't think the forum rules allow me to say it here.
Hello, I just got a new phone plan with 2GB data. Whenever I use a app (9GAG, FLIPBOARD), it does not load images. It loads images fine in the browser but not in the app. I have tried different APN but no luck. I aslo did a speed test and I get 10 MBps Down and 5 MBps UP. What could be the problem?
P.S: It's not the ROM. I had this issue before, when I had 150 MB data plan.
Fixed it. Ad block plus was blocking it for some reason.
Will I just received my Note 4. And the WiFi performance is horrible.
Hey @tampaboy good to see you here from the note 2 thread.
Bad news is locked bootloader and as of now no root.
I haven't had any issues with the WIFI yet. Is it just on your home network or are you having issues with a bunch of routers?
How so? You never had a moto x 1st gen. My note 4 keeps a great connection.

WiFi has full connection and Speed Test shows 20mbps download speed but when I download anything from Google Play it downloads at less than 500kbps
I experience similar issues with Google play via WiFi and Uverse Internet connection. I just assumed it was a playstore/Samsung issue as I'm able to download larger files from a server at better speeds.
Just really hope they unlock the boot and gain root on this puppy. Otherwise I could've just bought a iPhone if I wanted all this security locked down crap.
Sad thing is its way easier to jailbreak ios 7 or 8 than the note 4 is to root it at least on AT&T and Verizon.
maybe you just have a crappy internet speed/router, no issue here at all, or maybe just ask for a replacement
Yes the Wifi speed is absolutely terrible. There are tons of threads / other forums have posted this as well. I've tried 2.4 / 5 Ghz N, G, B all crap on various routers. The Note 3 always gets about 2/3rd better speed. At home I have a 30 Mbps connection and the speed always tops out at about 5-8 Mbps. Garbage. Note 3? 27 Mbps!!! what is going on here?
Please don't be an idiot and ask the OP if their router / internet is bad just goes to show how noob you are.

Why we gotta throw the n word around?
I can only speak for my own experience, but I have found better WiFi performance than my Galaxy S5.
Here's my wifi

Definitely not my router
you can't rely on an internet speed test...
run an iperf host on a desktop computer then run an iperf client on your phone(s). that will be a much more reliable way of testing wireless speed between your devices.

oops my bad, and yes im a noob and I don't care about it, its just my opinion anyways, you happy now mr.perfect?
I have also been experiencing slow downloads from the play store.
funny thing though, galaxy store was wanting me to update my flipboard app, so was google play..
so yesterday I started to update it via google play.. 5 min into it, it wasn't even done downloading yet.. so I canceled it and went to the galaxy store, it was downloaded, installed and ready for use in 2 minutes max.
I wonder if its not on their (googles) side somewhere..
Yeah its weird everything else downloads real quick like normal besides from Google Play Store. The Google Play Store downloads normally if I use my data, only really slow over any WiFi network.
I wonder if it's something that AT&T put in the phone so you turn on Download Booster and use your data with WiFi?
Except download booster is "hidden" on the n910a version of the note 4. You have to find the settings through nova and widgets.
Sorry to hear your still having the problem. I haven't seen any slowdown over wifi yet.
I've also noticed WiFi on this is horrible that's forever for pages to load or even time out when on apps. But downloading is fast. My s4 doesn't have any issues not sure if it's hardware issue or software but it's annoying.

No problems on my end. Works great at home and on campus.
Not sure if anyone is even reading posts on the Note 8 but here goes
I've had this phone for a few years. It was running stock Android 9. I have the base unlimited plan from Verizon on this phone which means no tethering. So I thought.... I'm in the market for a new phone so if I brick this one, no big deal. I read that once rooted, you could enable tethering with any unlimited plan so after some Googling, I found a site that walked me through installing a rooted copy of Nougat.
Once it was on there, I was able to enable tethering and I attached my kid's iPad and away she went..............at 0.20Mbps. I remember a LONG time ago that you could bypass this artificial speed limit on tethered devices by messing with the DUN/TTL stuff but I think Verizon caught onto that. Then I tried a NetShare and PdaNet and while they DID solve the speed problem, some apps on the iPad (Roblox for example) give me a network error (guess it doesn't like going through a proxy that those 2 apps set up?). I also read that using a VPN connection can solve this problem too but a friend of mine messed with VPN stuff on his phone and I just remember him complaining about connection problems with apps from time to time so I'm trying to avoid that scenario.
At this point, I'm thinking about just going back to Pie and using NetShare and telling my kid that only YouTube will work when tethering unless somebody can point me to some settings I can mess with, now that I have root access, to speed up a tethered device.
TLDR: With my fancy root access, can anything be done to speed up a tethered device THAT DOES NOT involve having to mess with buying a VPN account?
PS I can't help but feel Verizon is intentionally slowing down my network speed on this old Android phone. In the 2 years I've been using my Note 8, surfing the internet on 4GLTE has gotten noticeably slower as time goes on. My speed tests always come back around 5Mbps and my wife's iPhone 11 (or 12?) FLIES when she's surfing the internet.
