Help with wifi tether speeds!!!

Anyone know how to increase the wireless tether speed I have tired the built in tether and after messing with several rom's I am getting horrible speeds.
Tried to install wifi tether and could not get that to work either.
I am currently running decks rim.
Used to get speeds of up to 2mb on the built in Tether and close to 4 using wifi tether. now best I get is .8

Welcome to Sprint's "blazing fast" 3g network.

Pretty much what he said you can try to do a speed test and see what you get but pretty much you can look for better service for better speeds

You can also try setting up a proxy.

Yes, Sprints 3G & 4G speeds have been circling the drain for almost a year now. Tower to device speeds are bad; tower through device to laptop speeds are terrible.
If you have Easytether you're in luck. Back it up in triplicate. Don't allow automatic updates. Any updates will either remove it or render it unusable. ET is no longer available for Sprint 4G devices. If you can find a copy, simply side load it.
For Wireless Tether, setting up a proxy is definitely the way to go. Filter Proxy, available free in Market, will do the trick. There is a quick set-up guide somewhere here at XDA. While not as fast as EasyTether, the Wireless Tether with Filter Proxy isn't too bad.

I had this problem their are three things I did to fix it they are all easy 1. Call sprint and tell them you are haveing trouble makeing and receiving calls, bad data speeds blah blah blah (their will be an option somewhere in their voicemail that basically says that.) They will reset your data which will make everything faster. They will make you update your phones radios and etc. Cancel those and do it yourself (I just reflashed a rom I knew had them all included) 2. If you haven't already v6 supercharge and 3g optimize (they are both posted on xda) 3. Overlock the heck out of it whenever you run tether.
Ps. I don't think v6 will make it faster but it will make your phone faster so it might help a lil. Also I have never tried this but I know you can make your phone default to verizon 4g lte this might help verizon has better service where you live

No I forget where it is but their is deffinatly a tutorial somewhere on xda to make it so your phone will default to a verizon lte tower. Its cause the thunderbolt is like the exact same phone.

Haha you have no idea what you are talking about. Again, Verizon's 4g is LTE based, Sprint's is Wimax. Two COMPLETELY different networks. The Evo does NOT have an LTE radio, therefore you will NEVER be able to connect to verizon's 4g. Yes, the Thunderbolt and Evo are similar, except for the fact that the Thunderbolt has a 4g LTE radio and not a Wimax radio.
And no, Verizon's 4g is not "basically 3g". My friends with Verizon phones can pull 15mbps down all day long.

Well he said their the same and it could work, he's managed a verizon store for ten years now so if u think u know better that's ur problem go find the post if u want...
And ur friend just has better service where u live dummy cuz my Evo is faster than my girlfreinds thunderbolt by five mpbs... Dummy

Umm, look at the FCC specs for the Evo. It does NOT have an LTE radio!!! Look at the specs for a Thunderbolt, it DOES have an LTE radio!
Here's another way to check, force your phone to roam and then turn on 4g, it wont work!

Stop bableing like a lunatic, I asked my boy he said you don't meet a lte radio to connect because ITS BASICALLY 3G! he said the lte don't do nothing and Evo deffinatly could pick it up with some tricky prl work, he said he knows you don't think that would be 4glte but he said that at least in philly u get about the same speed because 4glte is a load of crap...

Again, NO!!!! LTE and Wimax are two different techniques, with two completely different frequency sets. A software hack will NEVER allow the evo to connect to lte. And again, if you are SOOOO SURE of yourself, why not connect to Verizon LTE with your evo and then take a picture of it.

Ummm, no, 4g LTE is NOT crap. My work phone with Verizon can pull 20mbps down all day long, that is NOT crap, that is faster than 60% of American's home internet.
Face it man, you have no clue what you are talking about. 4g LTE is NOT "basically 3g". If 4g was basically 3g, then they wouldn't call it 4g and make all this hype about it. Do yourself a favor, and actually READ those links I gave you. That is, if you are actually capable of reading...
Or maybe just make a new post asking if the evo can connect to LTE, I'm sure you will love getting flamed by the rest of the people here.

I really thought Verizon 4G LTE was better than this

I just switched from Sprint 3G to Verizon 4G LTE. I was really hoping for a big improvement. I "kinda" got what I wanted except in the one place I am at the most....work. I spend 9-12 hours a day at work in a factory and the Verizon signal just barley makes it where I sit all day. I basically don't get 4G unless I go outside. Sprint was killing me with 20Kbps download speed and I got tired of it. Now I may be stuck in the same with Verizon. On the bright side Verizon does work very well outside of my work, unlike Sprint.
I did install a custom rom with latest updates. Android Revolution 4.0.1

What's the question?

You're worried about data speeds inside a factory?

More of a comment. I thought 4G would work better than 3G. I sit at a desk in the factory. So yes I'm concerned about data.

because of the frequency, LTE is worse inside buildings if i remember correctly.
the good news, your 3g is faster than sprint by a long shot

It's the nature of the beast. In many factories, you're going to run into quite a few things that are going to impair RF transmissions. Some frequency bands may propagate better than others, but you need to bear in mind that it's already a suboptimal environment.

I don't know much either, but I doubt they would do anything about it unless there's a profit involved
I guess they could have "supercharged" service for more money haha.

Bite your tongue!

Being at work.....doesn't that mean you should not be using your phone for personal use? I know everybody does it but too many people abuse the time clock.....
that being said, maybe you should not be bummed that your phone doesn't work at crazy speeds, this way you can be great full for the job you keep in this tough economy.
Not trying to sound like a d!ck but complaints like this are really unneeded and undeserving.

Only solution I could suggest is to use wifi calling if you have wifi at your work place. Thats what I do since I have no reception at all in my cubicle.

Verizon doesn't do wifi calling. That said, I think the poster has a data issue, not a voice signal issue (they are separate for us).

You would probably get a much better signal with the RAZR. I was getting 2 bar of 4G LTE in my basement, where my Galaxy Nexus could barely keep a 3G signal. Unfortunately the radios on the Galaxy Nexus suck, so that may have something to do with it.

Simultaneous Voice and Data on Sprint 3G

Maybe I missed this but I didn't think that Sprints 3G service allowed for simultaneous voice and data.
I'm in Canton, Ohio and I just noticed that today I'm able to both use the phone and browse the Web at the same time without WIFI.
I can only assume that this is a network vision thing. LTE isn't in my future for a little while but I thought this was a good sign. Anyone else notice this?

I noticed this in STL over the weekend, I am not sure how long it has been this way because like you I "knew" it didn't work so never tried it. I just happened to get an email while on a call.

SVDO isn't a network feature or capability. It's only dependent on the phone having multiple data and voice antennas, and the Galaxy S3 does.

Yes. Today. I received a call while downloading and it still downloading...nice.

This statement isn't exactly true. It is both a phone and network feature. The towers need to accept multiple connections from the same phone id, as well as the phone needs to have the multi channel capabilities. Sprint used to block this, but doesn't anymore.

I don't know anything about Samsung ads, but the SVDO capability is listed in all the spec sheets I've seen. Sprint had to request the capability from Samsung, so Sprint must know the feature is included.

This was discussed many times since this phone was released. Shows how much people search and or research their own phone.

Ha. When Sprint activates HD Voice, I anticipate a ton of threads with people asking why voice calls don't sound better on the S3. Then, they'll throw a fit when they're told the S3 doesn't support it. It's just like all the people in non-LTE areas asking why their 4G no longer works even though they had full signal on their Evo or Epic 4G. No one wants to spend time researching their purchases.

I have to admin
I have to admin that when I finally switched from my blackberry to the S3, I was so used to having wifi on that when I was on a call and my email was still coming in or I was able to launch a browser and look things up, I nearly went crazy. Being in IT I never looked up the phone specs to be honest other than being highly anxious to install applications from the Play Store and do things I couldn't do with my old device. Now I'm just looking for a good rom to root the device for wifi, lol.

I've been driving iSheep off the iphone5 with specifically this feature (not that there aren't at least a dozen more. I think that with the financial future of Sprint in the hands of Apple and the sales of iPhones the lack of dual antennas because it has a 'dynamic antenna' is going to cripple anyone who needs/wants that feature. To me SVDO is something that killed me when we didn't have it and now that I do I can never go without it.

Is anybody can explain then why when streaming the radio if I receive a text massage the radio stops (I know because of that ring) but it goes to buffer and chokes till start streaming again. This is the same as any other phone before so SVDS no benefit here.

No. The chipset does not support the SVDO capability.
http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/entry-343-a-short-time-from-now-in-a-galaxy-not-far-away/
As for simultaneous voice and data, the Galaxy S4 does support SVLTE but is the latest in a long line of Sprint LTE handsets now to forgo SVDO. Realistically, this comes as no great surprise, as we have not seen SVDO capability in any new handset since last summer. Either this is a limitation of the Qualcomm MDM9615 baseband modem that has become standard equipment or SVDO is no longer a strong priority as Sprint LTE coverage grows weekly. Regardless, CDMA1X and EV-DO share a transmit path (indicated in the FCC OET diagram above); hence, simultaneous CDMA1X voice and EV-DO data is not supported.

Can you use 3g data while talking on the phone?

I am going in the morning to upgrade my line and was wondering if you can use 3g data and talk on the phone at the same time? I've used the gs3 and the evo lte and able to do so.
This would be a deal breaker if I can't and the idiots that should know (sprint) don't! Thanks

I'm surprise as well. I thought that all sprint phone calls and text use the CDMA spectrum and therefore no data would be available during that time. You can still use LTE i think (if it is in your area).

Yes you are able to on both phones I mentioned due to the fact they have an extra radio in them. Thanks for the replies.

What do you mean extra Radios...I always thought it was an Apple patent issue. 3G has nothing to do with talk service cecause you can shut it off and still place your calls. Calling, 3G data, 4G data, and Wifi are all seperate radios...if I'm not mistaken. Iphones doit on sprint so there for I believe it's an Apple patent issue but if the SIII does it then I don't know I guess. My Evo3D would not do it.
Just tried with my G...nope can't do it. I still believe it's an apple thing...annoying.

You can shut off data and still send SMS, it goes through the normal voice calling section. But MMS requires the data to be on.

It's not related to patents. It's related to hardware capabilities and standards.
For those like me that didn't know it was possible, here's a thread of people discussing the GS3 on Sprint having dual radios to enable simultaneous voice and data without being connect to 4g or wifi.
The capability is referred to as SVDO (simultaneous voice and data). I assume the O is for operation.
I tested my wife's Optimus G on Sprint and it doesn't work.

Wow thought Android phones were way advanced compared to I phones ( they still are in my opinion )...ohwell I'm still not ever going to switch to apple devices lol. I'm just happy with talking then seaching lol.

It's phone related as the S3 can do it. The LG cannot. I used to be able to when I had the S3 but when testing the OG I can't. I think it has to do with the S3 having a second radio for that kind of thing and the LG cutting that space out for the quad core + LTE. The LG is a sexier phone IMO so the trade off is worth it for me.

I went ahead and got the phone because it's so smooth but just after one day I already miss data while on a call. I'm gonna give it a week and see if I can deal with it. Thanks for all the input.

Not so fast buddy, my Samsung Epic 4G Touch does it with the Kangpang JB Rom
and that phone is way inferior to the Optimus G. I also took pictures and texted them
while on a call using 3G and 4G. Sorry I couldn't help myself I compete with Iphones at
work all day. Also with the 2100 N battery upgrade (Ebay $30-50 ) I got NFC to work
with JB to GIII and Samsung Nexus.

Funny thing is this phone has all the hardware to do svdo it's just not turned on in the software. If you look at the FCC diagram it has two cdma antennas which are needed. So I bet if LG wanted to with a simple update to the radio it could be activated

I came from the LG Viper 4G LTE I was so disappointed that my TOP OF THE LINE Optimus G couldn't do simultaneous voice and data like my old Viper. I love the Optimus G but I might have to go with "GAG" GS3 or EVO LTE

SVDO is not possible on the Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G Touch. SVDO is exclusive to 3G and It's a feature built in to the newer Qualcomm chips in the Evo Lte, GS3, and LG Viper. Those are the only sprint phones capable of SVDO. What you did have is 4G data over calls since it uses a different radio (not 3g). SVDO is based on the Qualcomm chip not how many radios you have on your phone. My note 2 can't do svdo since Samsung chose to use their Exynos chip instead of the Qualcomm. Something I'm upset about but can live with since lte is coming and will be possible with SVLTE.

destroid my dink2

Ran over it with a forklift, probably more that once, should I buy another or something different?
I really loved this phone. :crying:

Definitely something else. This is pretty outdated now.

If it works why fix it, this phone was great, I was still running Andis rom, everything worked and some, so I had no reason to get a better phone considering that the service around here has not gotten any better.

Why waste your money on the inc2 when you can get a better phone?

Because with a new phone might come better reception as well. Even though no network is really running true 4g coverage yet. These old Dincs are outdated

I agree with the rest. I love my dinc2, but at the end of the day it is getting more and more noticable that it is slowing down and becoming laggier with each new rom flash. Its just old. I'm going to keep mine as long as it lasts or until some great nexus (with 4G) comes out.

Semi off topic, but why do you say no network is running true 4g? You don't consider Verizon LTE to be 4g? Just curious.

Because he is saying that we aren't always on 4g and shift to 3g so we aren't on true 4g speeds all the time as how we would be on 3g.

I guess, but if that's the definition, then no carrier ever achieved true 3g...Out here in the west my phone still reverts to 1x at times.

Well maybe certain areas I've never had 1x in my area although I do transition from 4g to 3g from time to time.

Some networks claim to be 4G and all that, but their "advanced network" doesnt go coast to coast and still in spots you only get 3g coverage, Like here in Sacramento there are places my old Dinc2 is faster than "4G" phones on Verizons LTE. Also Some run just a boosted 3G network slap the 4G sticker on it and charge more and cut out our awesome unlimited plans in the pursuit of more money.

I've had plenty of 1x times and I live in Dallas... Wtf?

I have not been disappointed with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but I did love my Inc2 while I had it!

I don't think I've checked on my S3, but on my Inc2 I got 1x at my house. I know I can get LTE on my S3, but only if I'm on the second level in just the right corner.

To the OP, honestly, why get another Inc2? Even if you don't have 4G coverage in your area right now, Verizon is aiming to almost fully shadow their current 3G map with their LTE network by the end of the year. Now, knowing Verizon, that probably won't actually happen. But even if they get 75% of their 3G area covered with 4G as well, I see no valid reason to limit yourself with a 3G-only device.
And beyond that, the Inc2 is now an old device, relatively speaking. It's a single-core processor that even if overclocked and running smooth as silk, still has nowhere near the processor of more modern devices.

Octo-cores...
