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

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...

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.
A few weeks ago, I posted a thread asking why does my friend get 4G, but I don't. If you are like me in a situation like this, the process is simple. In my area, there are 4G and Edge bands that phones connect to. My phone persistently connected to the edge band while my friend connects to the 4G. So lets get to the point shall we.
If you are having problems like me try this:
Go to your settings, wireless and network, mobile networks, and then select network mode. (After doing some research about GSM and WCDMA, I found out that GSM (3G aka edge) was slower than WCDMA (the newer technology 3G).
Select WCDMA. (For me it took a while so don't worry. If it does take too much time then select WCDMA + GSM.) You are going to have to select it anyway when you are done if you don't automatically connect to 4G.
When you select the combination, your phone should reconnect to your carrier provider and you should get 4G like me.
Oh. F.Y.I. T-Mobile doesn't actually have 4G. It's just a fast 3G network called HSPA, but they still display the 4G symbol when you have it. Hope it helps somebody.

Well sort of. Wiki mentions it but glazes over it a bit. It's a reference anyone can change of course so take it with a grain of salt. ITU relaxed their position about this time last year to include "evolving technologies" of which WiMax, LTE and HSPDA are all included.
So the reality is, all the carriers can make the 4G claim and sleep comfortably and the extended reality is, the speeds are all showing that next evolutionary step in speed, even if the technology as it sits today is just that. Steps toward LTE Advanced and whatever WiMax is calling their next version. As a TMobile customer, and one that it seems will stay with the TMobile branding it's unfortunate they are using a technology that has it's limits. But I'm getting 10-15Mbps on occasion and solid 7 to 8 Mbps speeds generally speaking so I'm not complaining. Until the carriers clear more spectrum what "G" it is isn't relevant to me. With 2Gbps, or even 5Gb soft caps I don't need to get to my ceiling any faster than I am now.

Well technically it is a quarter of the speed. If you are going by 100mbs defintion.
By industry standards , marketing, its 4g. But the term is meaningless. It is way faster than previous generation of phones.
So whatever, I'm calling 4g.
Multi-channel HSPA is capable of ~40Mbps, which is damned fast.
Call it what you want; technically LTE ir WiMax is 4g, but if it runs as fast as the others, who cares what it's called?
You would think at those speeds you'll burn through your data cap in days. I don't get the requirement for faster data speeds let alone just for minor things.

Can we end this stupid 4g/3g debate? I'll end it for you right now.
Until a few months ago NONE of the technologies out were 4g, not LTE, not WiMax, not HSAP+ ...BUT the ITU (International Telecommunications Union), which are the people that say what's what in the wireless industry, folded under the marketing schemes of the big 4 here in the U.S. and said that TECHNICALLY NOW LTE, WiMax, and HSPA+ All count as 4g. So...yes they have 4g. A few months ago they didn't. Now they do.
So what was the trick again? lol

Wikipedia is an administrator-approved peer-editing system. For one, there are references to back up the claims made, two, you can't just click "edit" then put in whatever you want. A Wiki admin approves all edits made, so bogus stuff can't just be easily added. (Sorry, I'm just sick an tired of people claiming wiki is a poor source for valid information, when in reality it's one of the most largest and beneficial information sources on the internet. Again, sorry, didn't mean that as an attack on you lol)
Either way, yes, our "4G" is fast, but in reality it's not in comparison to what it should be. And for those of you with worries about your data caps, these will be removed in due time. It becomes easier and easier to reach those caps without any effort at all (Google Music being a perfect example), carriers won't have a choice but to remove data caps, especially with carriers like sprint still offering unlimited data (for now lol)
I haven't noticed until know that the SGN from Verizon shuts off 3g/lte while making calls.
Does this have something to do with ATTs contract with Google and Samsung.
I will leave this thread open as hope that we can resolve this issue. Please post your experiences. If your are not having issues with your SGN from Verizon please post. Thank you

OK but why did Verizon tell that me it does do calls and internet at the same time. Two customer reps told me this and one told me its in the manual. I'm going through the manual now
It's the network. Not some under the table contracted agreement.
It should be able to do voice and data anytime you have an LTE signal. On 3g you cannot though. Its a limitation of cdma.
Yeah Verizon has good towers here in California. Sh..ty service and BS like made me spill my coffee
Fine could we at least mod that out? I mean that's a load a crap

Only LTE can coexist with calls.

There is one exception to the rule. VZW has updated their CDMA towers to allow SVDO which is voice and data over 3G, however the phone has to have a compatible chip set for it to work. The HTC thunderbolt is the only phone I know of that does SVDO when there is no LTE signal

Welcome to CDMA. You can't do simultaneous talk and data over 3G. The only way you can do voice+data is if you're talking on 3G and doing data over LTE. If LTE drops while you're in a call, you have no data.

Well than i m guessing it would be a long shot to implement SVDO into a modded radios package

The 4G network that sprint currently has coverage for is WiMax Our phone does not have a WiMax antenna. So were stuck waiting for LTE 4G to come to our area.
If I helped you click the Thanx button
Yes, was wondering what the catch was! But one more question, what does an antenna have to make a difference in getting wimax vs lte?
Isnt what residual in the board tell it either to receive of send certain waves, etc etc. Is the antenna kryptonite vs coal in wimax phones? Love to Know and Learn, if you catch my drift....so dont take hatefully. Dont know the answer to the question unless the questions have all been answered
Is there a video and explanation of what is in a siii sprint video somewhere?

This is interesting, but it probably won't be available for 15+ years. It will be a long time before 4g is fully rolled-out.

The UK has had HSPA(comparable to LTE) and LTE for a while! Why do u think the majority of world phones get the "better processors" and multiple radio basebands? Because the rest of the world excluding some parts of Asia that use CDMA, use GSM. GSM has had 4g technology way before CDMA. In fact, CDMA 4g(our LTE) is actually a GSM technology "retrofitted to work on CDMA networks... Our S3s have a non removable sim card that allows them to transmit and receive 4g frequencies... My whole thing with this samsung "5g" is the fact that 28ghz is a ridiculously high frequency for celluar transmission... Would 28ghz even penetrate saran wrap? They're gonna have to do some serious r&d on how to get the signal to penetrate brick, sheet rock, metal etc?
Quick nitpick, this is 1Gigabit(128megabytes~) per second not gigabyte. One gigabyte per second would be 10Gbps.

Also as stated above this huge issue with this current version is the ridiculous frequency. I'm sure through research they'll work out the kinks but that'll be a fair bit of time. Were still working on getting Gbps speeds in our homes, let alone our phones.

The UK has had HSPA(comparable to LTE) and LTE for a while! Why do u think the majority of world phones get the "better processors" and multiple radio basebands? Because the rest of the world excluding some parts of Asia that use CDMA, use GSM. GSM has had 4g technology way before CDMA. In fact, CDMA 4g(our LTE) is actually a GSM technology "retrofitted to work on CDMA networks... Our S3s have a non removable sim card that allows them to transmit and receive 4g frequencies... My whole thing with this samsung "5g" is the fact that 28ghz is a ridiculously high frequency for celluar transmission... Would 28ghz even penetrate saran wrap? They're gonna have to do some serious r&d on how to get the signal to penetrate brick, sheet rock, metal etc?

Samsung has always invested a lot in R&D. I'm pretty sure they'll come up with something.

Oh it can penetrate trust me.

In Europe there using 40ghz right now as we speak. Good stuff. And with that speed it will be like the lighting port on my Macbookpro but for cells which sounds great.
