Hi , When I try to tether my galaxy note 2 (unlocked, international version, bought without contract, stock rooted rom), the speed is extremely slow , it is nearly like a crawl in comparison to the mobile speed. I tried both USB and Wifi so far . Would the provider have a way to detect that I am tethering and thus cap my data? or otherwise what happened? and how I can speed up the connection?
Yes they can detect.

I have two T-mobile sim cards on the $30 100min/5GB 4G plan. I recently bought a Galaxy Nexus and I have a T-Mobile Exhibit II 4G. When I run speed test on both phones at the SAME time, the GN gives me a download speed of 0.1-0.5Mpbs while the Exhibit constantly manages over 3Mbps. Swapping the sim cards gives me the same result.
GN does reach 5-7Mbps, but very rarely and for no apparent reason. Does anyone have any idea why the Galaxy Nexus has really slow data speed? I'm on rooted stock ROM with XXLF1 radio.
Obviously I'm a noob and I don't know much about radios. But I read somewhere that the XX in XXLF1 stands for Europe. Could this be the problem?
Hi All,
I have a problem with my wifi connection.
It's keep dropping the speed, and i dont know what to do.
The speed i have is:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (4.1.1) 1.87 Mbps
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7" 32.12 Mbps
So i dont think the problem is in my router but in my Note 2....
So what can i do to fix the problem ?
Im leaning towards the 8.4 version, since i think the 10.5 and 8.4 all have the same processors. Im trying to decide between lte and wifi only based on two factors : performance and lte usability.
i did some research but i cant seem to find a consensus on which processor is better, the wifi only exynos or the lte qualcomm.
I have at&t and i get free hotspot on my phone. I also have a big discount so an lte tablet would only be 5 dollars a month on my plan, but of course the lte tablet costs more. Will there be an internet speed performance difference in using a tablet with built in lte vs just using wifi off of my samsung note edge? I know lte gets up to 50mbps, so what quality connection do i get on wifi when using an lte smartphone as my source? Would both connections give me identical lte performance? Im just trying to figure out if there is a point at all in paying those 5 dollars a month.
thanks all for your help.
Well I do know that WiFi on the tab s can pick up WiFi signals that are very far. I have the wifi T800 and sometimes use my computer hotspot and it works fine. I haven't tryed it on a phone though but I have not seen any speed differences on my network and its always a steady 2mbps ( how fast my WiFi is lol). The exynos chipset on the WiFi tab s lags here and there but not much. I haven't seem much snapdragon or anything else but that might be better then exynos.
To answer your questions and make things easy here.
As from my experience there's no speed performance difference in using a tablet with late or WiFi coming from an hotspot. So what ever speed is putting out is mostly the same with the tab s.
Depending on lte speeds, it may be slow or fast depending on where you go. But 10 Mbps should be fine if the speeds are somewhat slow. But idk if your plan is unlimited data, so using hotspots will use a lot of data when using a hotspot.
You can try the WiFi one first and maybe (not sure) if of doesn't work out for you.
All the best!
my plan isnt unlimited. Are you saying that the tablet will use more data out of my plan while piggybacking off of a hotspot than having its own lte connection?

From my guess, I think hotspots will use more data since a device is connected and the phone is feeding out internet/WiFi to the tab s with it being connected. From what I heard hotspots use more data vs an lte itself. That's my best guess and hope this helps! How much data does 5 bucks a month get you?
^^^^ hes correct. Hotspots or any kind of tethering use a ton of data. More so then LTE. Without a unlimited plan I wouldn't recommend it as your going to hit your data cap quite fast.
I still have my trusty Note 2 (4.1.2) with wifi tether working just fine. But it is starting to show it's age a bit. Since there is no (perm) root for the note 4 how fast is Fox Fi? Does it work just like old school wifi tether? I generally can pull anywhere from 50-8 on download speeds.
I use foxfi on my Note 4. Speedwise it works fine. It's just limited to your connection speed. Sometimes I get 1mp,sometimes I get 30mp, just depends where I am and how many other users on my same tower.
Rooted Galaxy S3 L710 on Boost Mobile, Wicked X rom installed.
My hotpspot was originially the Unlimited Hotspot and Data bundle and worked for many many years (over 5 years) and then around February i noticed i got a 8GB hotspot data limit.
The Problem is once the 8GB is all maxed out it throttles only 3 devices and lets them still access the internet but all other devices wont connect to the internet at all. They still connect to the actual phone hotspot just not the actual internet. before hand it would just throttle all devices. its been doing it since february and i noticed this past week for a few days it would work normal, go out then do this issue i am having.
i dont mind the throttling, i just want all my devices to connect.
i looked everywhere online and i cant find anything about this and would like some help on what to do or how to fix it. I have 2 Galaxy S3 on boost a L710 variant and a Triband Variant, the L710T. and both still do it.
*Edit: On my boost account it says 9.6GB of 8GB used for my hotspot??
They're doing it on their end bro, not sure there is anything you can do.
