So I've gathered from a couple threads that CM has a policy to not tether (USB or Wifi) on 4G - it drops you down to 3G. It seems that you can bypass this by running Wifi Tether for Root Users, and I've confirmed it works - 4G stays active (even if it's only maybe a meg faster than my 3G due to JB Wimax issues).
However, I can't find anything that will allow me to USB tether at 4G speeds. The built in toggle for USB tether works great (my system finds the NDIS driver fine). Anyone know of an app or even better, one with a toggle widget, that I could use to enable USB tether without dropping to 3G speeds?
Running Paranoid Android 2.54 by the way.

Okay so I've tried 4 different types of tethering on my phone.
Wireless Tethering (Works great)
USB Tethering (Works great except no 4G)
PDANET (Works but NO 4G / Random Disconnects)
Easy Tether (Works the best , WITH 4G, but random disconnects)
So wireless tethering is fine and that isn't my problem.
PDANET along with Easy Tether for some reason both keep dropping connection randomly. It could be 20 minutes, it could be 1 minute, it could be 10 minutes, but the dang connection keeps getting dropped for some reason. I've tried looking and settings left and right but I don't know what it is and I don't know how to fix it.
USB Tethering with Froyo works great. I don't get any dropped connections except the dang 4G won't work! I get 2 bars in my apartment, but as soon as I run USB Tethering, 4G drops, 3G runs, and 4G scans, finds sprint, and drops.
I don't have 4G issues with my phone at all, only tethering with PDANET and USB Tethering.
If I can get some help from you guys, it would be either of these >>
Easy Tether : Figure out how to stop the random disconnections
USB Tethering : Figure out how to make 4G stay and let me connect with 4G
I have tried looking online for 4 hours. Every page on google has been turned purple because I visited them all. I need some help
easy tether cannot be fixed, usb tether cannot have 4g
that sux with over 10000 chars
Are there any ROMs out there that support both wired & wireless tethering while using both 3G and 4G?
The posts I see about it are people saying they can get one or the other working at either 3G or 4G, but not in all combinations.
Thanks

Any sense ROM will support Wireless 3G and 4G tethering, using the "wireless tether app." Using the hacked sprint hotspot will only allow 3g wireless tethering, 4g is not unlocked with that. As for wired tethering, the phone's native USB tether will work on 3G, and not 4g I believe.(almost all ROMS have USB tether unlocked) To get around that, use PDANet (from the Market) or Easytether (from the Market). Both of those apps allow 3g and 4g wired tethering on any sense RoM. Hope that helps clear things up a little.
Thanks.
I wonder what causes the trouble for 4G wired tethering.
HTC Evo
----------------------------------------
The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.
I cannot get the USB Tethering native to CM7 (7.0.2.1 on Evo) to work with my Mac (10.6).
Does anyone know how to get them to play nice?
My Growl hardware notifier shows 'Android modem' as a new device ... but it does not appear in network prefs or anywhere else.
Thanks!
Download "wired tether" from the market. Can't say it'll work with your mac, but I can't get the built in (cm7) usb tethering to work either.
I am on my MacBookPro right now, using the WiFi tether built into CM7. When my battery gets low, I just plug it into the usb port to charge, but leave it on Wireless tether. Works like a charm. Now, if only I had 4G coverage.
The Sprint "tweaked" WiFi tether on Deck's AOSP ROM works fine on my GF's MacBook Pro.....
I have no problem with WiFi tethering ... just wanted to use USB.
But from the fairly extensive searching I've done, it seems to be impossible, because Mac doesn't support something called RNDIS (which the 'wired tether' app requires as well.)
Oh, well...
I saw some action regarding this a while back, but never saw a solution i liked. I don't want to install software on my machine such as CWM tether or pdanet. I came from using the HTC Evo 4G where this worked like a charm.
I can have 4g active while wifi tethering using "Wifi Tether for Root Users", so I could at least get a USB wifi adapter which would pay for itself in a month.
Ultimately, is there a particular kernel / ROM combo where 4g and USB tethering is possible on the e4gt?
I'm on a Gnex lte with a verizon unlimited plan. I'm running CM 10.1. the rom's hotspot shows up to connect, can't connect with my laptop, can connect on the ipad but dns error and no internet.
also the WiFi tether app, both from playstore and beta3 version doesn't seem to broadcast a signal recognizable by either my laptop or the ipad. I'm wondering if the app just isn't working right or if verizon is blocking my tethering. any help?
