Is there any way to tether my data internet to a Xbox like I could do with a computer ?
Just looking for an easier way instead of using my computer as a modem an connecting it that way but that involves changing the proxy and server information on your computer and Xbox. I have manage to do it but don't really want to go through all of that sooooo. I was hoping somebody had a better way.
Here is a couple of videos.

If you are rooted just use wifi tether from the market. You could have looked here. FYI careful posting repeated threads. Try to search first. Some users will be on your ass. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802491

That is due to your data signal. Try to put the phone where you get a strong 4g signal and you will do just fine.

I will try a report back. But later it's 11:07 pm here in Columbus. So I gotta get some shut eye. I try when I get off in the afternoon. But thanks I will try your advice

Okay so after some more testing I could not get to work for more than a 20 min window. The best way in my opinion is to bridge the connection from a computer. That way I could watch a full length movie and play hours of need for speed. I just hate adjusting all the server and proxy settings that's all.

Try enabling encryption, access control, and routing fix. That's what worked for me... Also I used an older version... I think I'm running 3.1 beta7... Oh and try reinstalling the binaries.

There are several quirks to it. One thing you might try is making sure the phone screen is on when trying to connect. On mine if it goes out before its connected, it won't work...

I never got this to work on rooted-Stock EL29, so I went to a custom ROM with a hack for wifi tethering (Calkulin's).
If you watch this video, he explains some of the differences and things you can do regarding wifi tethering.
http://youtu.be/u_bEWS517nc
The built in native Sprint hotspot app is the best, and a lot of custom ROM's include the hack for that which allows you to use that app for free. The is also a mod for it for those with a stock/rooted phone I believe.

Thanks, nice video post. Relevant wifi discussion starts at 2:57.
Has anyone heard of Tmobile blocking directmirror for whatever reason, or could it just be a routing issue. For the last several days, i have been unable to load it on the network, no matter where i am at, but works fine on my wifi (comcast). Any ideas?

Directmirror.com. does not work on tmobile network right now, at least by me. I just was curious to know if it was something on my end.

It could be related to the same thing that they use to block you from tethering without a plan. They sniff your packet data and block anything with a desktop user agent. I heard of another user trying to download songs from what was likely a torrent site, and he was blocked.
I would try setting up a proxy, and that should mask your ip so that T-mo can't block you.
I dont know. Just called tmobile talk to tech, says there is no blocks on my account. Ive tried different browsers, switching user agents, wiping all net stuff like cache, cookies, etc. No luck.
Has been like this for a week or so, ive done several complete wipes/flashes since as well

This is the best I can do for you.

Also, check your security settings. Some devices will not see a wireless network with security settings it can't support.
Rarely, because it's an international thing, channel settings can also prevent discovery. Just something to think about. Not that it should be an issue but may want to double check.

Thanks -- I mean I can get the network going, just can't discover it on the phone. No dice even when I set it security to open. Is this just not destined to happen?

Android has issues with ad hoc sometimes. Certain devices like the Kindle fire can only use infrastructure based wifi due to the chipset used and/or the drivers included. Infrastructure mode is a more robust and stable network vs ad hoc too. I get about an extra 20' in range on infrastructure vs ad hoc. On infrastructure I can cover my entire 3600 sqft house with 1 access point getting 2-3 bars at the farthest end of the house, with ad hoc the back side of my house gets very weak or no signal at all. If your router/hotspot is capable I'd recommend settinf it up in infrastructure mode with the same ssid and security key (if you use one) and go from there

Is it a work pc? If so, they may have a blocker of sorts. I worked at EA Games and could never connect to any of the test laptops via ad hoc. Even using third party. But, I could come home and connect with no problem.

You said your phone's reception sucks at work. I'm sure someone will chime in if I'm wrong. Are you trying to get better data connection or phone connection? If phone, piggybacking off a router or PC won't help you to make calls if you can't now, unless you're using some form of voip on the phone. The SMS and phone voice run on the same line (I think). If you put the phone into airplane mode, but turned on wifi, you wouldn't receive calls or text. You'd only be able to do data. You have to be on a sprint tower to use the phone part.
Also, if you want your phone to get on adhoc and you can't now, you need a modified wpa_supplicant file for this phone. I don't know how to mod the file but a simple file swap and reboot would do it. At least that's how I did it with my original sprint galaxy 7" tab.

Reception is fine, it's just that data speeds at work are painfully slow. If I have a lot of apps to update on my phone, would be nice to just piggy back into the work network and do it that way.
My research has indicated that I'll need a modified wpa_supplicant, like you said, and I've tried some that are floating out there but they all seem to bork my wifi and I haven't been able to locate one specifically for the E4GT. Also, I have no idea how to mod it myself lol
Is there actually a Wi-Fi tether app that works for our phone? I've tried Wi-Fi tether from the market, and other devices will connect to my SSID and "tether", but it will basically be a worthless connection because I won't be able to surf at all from the tethered connection.
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 10 tablet since I get great LTE signal here in Dallas where I live, but I can't make full use of it since no tether app works properly with our phone...any help is appreciated!!

Lol, dude...I have been on XDA for more than ten seconds. I know how to search. I've found and already looked through that thread. There is no real answer there other than what I already mentioned about changing a lot of settings for a possible solution...which still didn't work when I tried.
I'm not looking for some smart assed answer about searching because I already have...extensively. I'm looking for someone who might have found an app which actually WORKS.

WiFi tether actually works. But it kills wifi. Use one or the other per reboot. Just like the link says. Generic ICS/Jb wlan 0

Settle down tiger. Try a reboot. See if it works. Its been working for a few of us since zvb dropped. You might have to use Trevor's WiFi tether. And i did read your post. That's why I'm answering.

Here's the settings I used to make Wifi tether from the Playstore to work. Remeber either WIFI or the Wifi tether per reboot.
1.Change device profile to - Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
2.Setup method - Auto
3.Enable wifi-encryption
4. I changed SSID and my Passphrase
That's it. It's worked for stock JB and Imperium. Haven't tried it on Lifeless yet.
mine is on the Generic ICS/JB on wifi tether my SSID will show up but wont connect at all.

Is whatever you're trying to tether set to auto? Also, Wi-Fi cannot turn on at all after a reboot if you're on zvb. Try it on other things also to see if its the app, or whatever you're trying to tether.
Edit. Try going to settings, enable access control.

When I had this problem (at&t model but probably the same issue), I had to select a different lan in the wifi tether settings. Either the arp cache on the tethered device still had old entries (since the default network is the same as my wireless network that my device had just been connected to), or it's just that wifi tether applies the wrong netmask. Right now I'm using the setting "10.10.3.0/24" which works, but in reality it's assigning a 255.0.0.0 (/8) netmask to the interface!
I have a t999l, rooted running the root66 method stock Rom. I have Wi-Fi tether router ado working great. However when I connect to Xbox live, it connects and works great, but on the Xbox it has the yellow dot in the middle of the network test and says it's connected but may not function fully. My first question is to get rid of that.
My second question, I'm trying to download maps on black ops 2, it gives me a error saying the server might be having temporary issues or it could be my internet connection.
I can play live great, no lagging, I can play Hulu, Netflix etc great. But those are my only issues.

Your Tether App should have the settings. If it doesn't then find one that does. Some apps do allow specific port collection to be opened. Be careful what you wish for.

Figured out that when my Xbox loads the dashboard tiles or downloads game maps is when it takes from my hotspot plan. But regular online multi player doesn't take anything. I'm using the Wi-Fi tether router app.
