[Q] Speed Problems with Wifi Tether - Sprint LG Optimus G

So I went ahead and used the Root with Restore by Binary to get superuser as soon as I got the phone home. Upon installing wifi tether I've found a little bit of an issue and I can't quite figure it out. When I set it up as an ad-hoc network I get my fast 4G speeds (4-8 megabits) but when I try to make it a wifi hotspot so the Playstation can see it, the speeds start crawling at .4 megabit. I figure it has to be something with the radios or something but I'm not quite sure because I don't have a lot of knowledge on that part of the phones. I guess I was just wondering if anyone else had any issues with this and if you solved it, I could use a helping hand. I have used the Auto, generic, generic JB/ICS wan0 and wan1 profiles. Thanks in advance for any input.

my setting's
my setting's are device profile generic ics/jb wlan0 with mms clamping check and routing fix check..had not problem on speed while playing online

yeah i switched it back and it still slows dramatically. which version are you using?

Help!! Very slow data speeds!!

OK ive done this before but im having major issues with the data speeds on my tilt 2. I did the tethering like i always do and installed the speed hack. enabled the hspda but my speeds on my new tilt 2 are very slow compared to my old one that i broke, i am lucky to get 500 down and 700 or 800 up and i used to get 1.5 or more down and 500 up so i dont know whats different from this newer one then my old one. Anyone having the same problem?
do you have the proxy enabled or disabled?
Several factors can be effecting your speed like location and time of day.
Proxy unknown
I have no idea if the proxy is enabled or disabled, as for the location and time of day, i use my phone at work for internet and ive never had a problem with speeds untill i got the warrenty replacement from att, a brand new tilt 2 the old one always gave a great connection and great speed at least 1.5 down.
WOOO HOO Fast again!!
OK i found out how to disable the proxy and disabled it and now my speeds are back up to about 1.5 down and 900 up. Thanks for the info. I am glad im a member of this site its really helped me out alot.
Ok now I am having this issue! Mine only happens on custom roms. I flash back to the original AT&T rom and speeds go back up. I have attempted almost all the radios and still no luck. I have disabled and re-enabled the proxy to no avail. I have also used the jh20001 speed cab to try and fix it. This occurs on all the custom roms I have tried from Energy (multiple builds) Cell(multiple builds) etc.. Speeds on AT&T's rom ar anywhere from 1100kbps-2100kbps. I try a different rom and speeds are always anywhere from 190kbps-580kbps no greater. HSDPA/HSUPA is enabled and also have tried it w/ j/HSDPA enabled and off. Any help would be greatly appreciated
can anyone help w/ this? i flip between the tilt2 and hd2 so i can get 3g here in virginia. i would like to get my fast data speeds back so i can watch my slingbox and listen to internet radio.
Anyone out there w/ any knowledge on this?

[Q] Synergy & 802.11n

First off, can't say enough about how much I like Synergy. Great features, lovely aesthetics. I was instantly amnestic to my otherwise deep CM7 love after flashing.
However, I'm having trouble getting it to find my wireless n network. I see that 802.11n support was added in a kernel module that I presume is within the file presented for download. I'm running it with the stock kernel and under settings it says it supports b/g/n but only finds my g network. Am I missing something? Yes, I've reflashed, wipes, &c. Any help appreciated.
Is the network broadcasting the router info? If not I have found that we still can not see hidden networks.
Yep, network info/SSID broadcast. My iPad connects to the n network just fine.
bump
Any thoughts/ideas? I just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of this great ROM!

[Q] portable wifi hotspot disables 3G ?

had the phone over a year now, never had an issue before.
As soon as you turn on the portable wifi hotspot, i loose the 3g/h symbol from the top of the screen and from that no data conectivity?
and as sopon as you turn the wifi hotspot off, it regains an internet conection
Any ideas, ive not installed any apps recently, as far as i can remember?
Do you get an internet connection when another device connects to your phone's wifi hotspot.
If you are able to connect, then it must be working, as it's the 3G signal that the phone uses to connect the wifi to the internet. It might remove the icon, but if you can connect then it's fine.
nope, can conect my ipad to the DHDs hotspot but no internet.
the same for when i turn the hotspot on, cant brouse anything on the phone as no data conection
still not sorted this, anyone else got a aide or something to sort this?
First post (longtime lurker)
I've got the same problem here although this has only started happening in the last couple of days. The phone's data connection is fine until you enable the wifi hotspot at which point the connection is dropped to the phone, connecting any devices to the phone is fine, they get an IP address and can ping the phone directly, but beyond the phone there's nothing.
Rebooting the phone does not help.
The only app I've installed recently is Google Shopper.
Out of curiosity Fil what ROM are you using? I'm on RCMix3d Runny 3.0 which is based on Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.5. I'm looking at switching to an ICS build pretty soon.
It also looks like we're on the same network although I think that's just coincidence.
yep sounds exactly the same issue,
as for rom, still on t-mobiles original 2.50.110.5 Adroid 2.3.3
was thinking of flashing something custom to see if it solved the problem
I've just flashed IceColdSandwich today at work (it's been a slow day!) and you'll be pleased to know that wireless tethering is working again. I'm on the train home as I type this. It's possibly something in the 2.3 image? I can't really say since we both had different ROMs (mine was a Sensation port). It could just be a bad bit of code in the gingerbread OS that produces this bug on rare occasions.
It may have something to do with the fact that T-Mobile and Orange allow you to roam on eachother's networks. Do you have roaming enabled?
To be honest I'm just stabbing wildly at possible causes here and a flash fixed it anyway. I went ICS but I don't think you'd have to go that extreme but flashing a new ROM overwrites whatever it is that caused this in the first place.
I'm just hoping it's fixed in ICS and won't happen again!
cheers, enabled data roaming, and it now works!
Since the issue, my batterys turned to crap! guessing thats the cause constantly jumping networks, and also data speeds have been very poor lately, was ok when just t-mobile, but orange is poor!
Off to the t-mobile foeums to see if its just me, or others!

note 4 wifi issue

ok so i searched everywhere for this and couldn't find a solution. i have a note 4 and it will connect to my home wifi just fine. i can search the internet on it, but facebook doesn't load and neither do certain games and the app market loads very very slowly. when i had my S4, it would do everything just fine. i was at my friends house and connected to his wifi and everything loaded lightning fast. so i know it's a problem with my wifi, i just don't know what.
my modem is netgear and my router is belkin AC 1200
any ideas on what to check so i can fix it? i suck up a lot of data lol
Do a speed test on your wifi with another device to determine if it is your phone or your wifi. How does your phone perform on 4g? Does it do the same thing?
the wifi is fine. i can browse the internet, watch netflix, etc. When i'm on my data, everything loads like it normally would.

Try hard resetting you router and before customizing it(changing SSID, encryption, etc...), test it with your phone to see if its any better.
it didn't seem to help. it's dual band and i tried on both. it wouldn't even load the google play until i switched bands.
any other ideas of a possible fix?

Yes.
I just got my VZW Note 4 yesterday and noticed almost the exact same problem. There is a little bit of info out there talking about things like power saving mode and stuff, but I noticed that my speedtest.net throughput was excellent. My next thoughts were DNS resolution or an IPv6 problem. Turns out my wireless router had a default setting with IPv6 routing enabled, but my ISP does not serve IPv6. You may notice the same kind of initial lag on Ubuntu installs (especially with certain VPS providers) where every single command you issue seems to take ages to start, but then completes quickly. I know how to deal with Ubuntu to force a preference for IPv4, but a locked down Samsung phone is a different matter entirely. Thankfully, I was able to just turn it off in the router.
For my specific router (Belkin AC1200 DB), the user interface has an IPv6 settings page, but the options they present to end users isn't intuitive. I changed my 'connection type' on this page to "Local Pass-Through Only", and my problem immediately went away. Have a look and see if you find anything similar.
Thanks, and good luck!

DUDE!! this is exactly what i was looking for. i think this fixed my issue. surfed facebook briefly and it loaded everything instantly. i'll check more as the day goes on. thanks so much man
Fixed My Issue too!
Hey Guys
Newbie here! I just wanted to say that this fixed my problem as well. I don't usually post as you can tell by my info but this was worth coming out of the dark to reply to.
Now to clarify, I too have a Belkin router AC1200 so it may be specific to those. Anyway thanks for the help and enjoy the fish!
someone sticky this! i have the same wifi issue , i am at work right now but i will try it when i get home! , i hope this works!
I am having this same issue bUT Comcast here uses ipv6 as well,I have a Belkin n1 router what do I do?
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
never mind i disable ipv6 in my comcast modem and it seen to do the trick, any idea why this is happening?
I've been having the exact same issue on my Note 4. for the past week or so. Our router/modem is a DPC3941T from Comcast, and I can't seem to find how to turn off IPv6. This setting was under Connections > Local IP Network. If anyone could help instruct me further, you would be a great help. I'm pushing my data cap for the month as it is because of this >.<
I'm having the same problem too. The funny thing is that I went to the Verizon store to see if they could trouble shoot it and the phone did not work on their wifi network either! I realize now how to access my IPv6 settings in my router and that does seem to fix the issue. Unfortunately I cant imagine very many businesses with wifi networks will allow me to reconfigure their router everytime I want to use wifi.....
I started having this issue when I upgraded to lollipop. My Netgear C6300 AC1750 doesn't seem to have an option to disable ipv6 though. Any suggestions?

Try the DNSet application - I had painful Comcast WiFi speeds, or lack thereof, and running this application before turning on WiFi solves the issue. Not sure if it's just me, but you should know that MMS doesn't work when the DNSet application is running.
What is stopping us from hardcoding DNS entries in the WLAN config now that we have root? Is this possible?

I looked at it, but the app needs to create a VPN to work, which is a whole other can of worms.
Do you have Comcast? I've learned that Comcast rolled out IPv6 out of nowhere, and many of its routers have issues with some phones (my gf's iphone included). I rooted my phone, disabled IPv6, and now I'm back to consistent 50-80Mbps download speeds on my phone.
Before, I would open up the Speedtest.net app, it would take a full minute or more to locate a server, and then the needle for the download speeds would constantly bounce between 0 and 50, sometimes with my phone prompting me that I lost my internet connection, asking if I would like to switch to data. Worth a shot! If you can't root, DNSet does this for you through the VPN, or you might be able to find a way to shut it off on your router.
I don't seem to have any issues with my phone picking up IPv6 over data or a few other routers, though, so I think this issue is more due to some bad firmware on certain modems.
Yes i do have comcast, their is many other cellphones in my house galaxy s5 ,s6, lg g3, iphone 6, none of them have problems but mine, how do i disable IPv6 once i have root

From the G3 after the 5.0 update, the fix was to disable IPv6 as well. This isn't related to IPv6 though, as it only seems to effect the G3/G4. Also, Google "What is my IP" when on mobile data and you will likely have an IPv6 address from Verizon.
I don't know that it isn't related to ipv6; Samsung phones have similar issues and my girlfriend's iphone does as well. I don't think the problem is the protocol itself, but how certain modems (seemingly Comcast ones) incorrectly implement them in their firmware
