Wondering if we can tether ps3 for free using the sprint evo 4g? Thanks guys.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Yes you can tether to your ps3 for free as long as your rooted. But I wouldn't recommend unless you have full bars on 4g or the lag will be unbearable. Also don't do it to much cause it uses A LOT of data and might look suspicious

You probably can, if you have gingerbread and/or a phone capable of wireless tethering. Just try it out

Full bars on 4g. What could sprint do? They stand by their "unlimited" data, right?

they can tell your tethering if your barely using a any data then jump to about 10GB randomly. They can terminate your contract without warning(not that bad lol)
I tether my ps3 for black ops,mw3 and bf3 with only 2-3 bars and its fine. I would say as long as you're pulling down at least 1mb a sec you should be fine. You can play an hour or 2 and only use like 50mb give or take.

The problem with tethering a phone to a game system is the lag. Ping times on 3g and even 4g can average 200ms, even go up to 1000ms, which would make any game (especially fps games) unplayable. And since it's a wireless signal, the speed and ping times will vary every single second, unlike a cable/dsl modem, which means you could play fine for a minute and then get a weak signal and your connection to the game will probably drop
they do stand by their unlimited data, but going form a cpl gb a month to 10 or more would raise concerns... and yes it is unlimited, but remember wifi hotspot is an add on feature. so actually you are stealing service.

Stealing. Eh. Costs them 1 cent a terabyte.
I'm also not going out and putting something in my pocket that doesn't belong to me, I'm just using my phone at its fullest capabilities.

It doesnt matter what it costs them... they and all other providers charge for this feature. So do you think its not stealing to put a splitter on a neighbors cable line and run it to your house? try that and see what happens. Im just saying if you do it and you data goes up by a crazy amount dont be surprised if something happens.

Ok really? Ok sprint, I pay you for unlimited data but hey I can't use my unlimited data because that's stealing. That's like saying hey, I pay for cable but I can't watch all my channels, or can only watch for a certain amount of time.

I play starcraft 2 just fine on my PC via wifi tethering but I feel like on a first person shooter you would run into lag.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
how can you play when sprints PING is like 200-350 ms?? its just horrible lag.
On 4G my ping in 60-90 with 8-14 mbit down and 1.5 up... If I was on my phone I would upload a few screen shots... I would get rid of it if it's just you using it... I have family at home so they use uverse... Fyi the most I've downloaded on 4g in a month is 240 gigs... Lots of 1080p bluray mkv's

to me if you tether a phone that often you will eventually see some problems from the hardware or the battery, even. do you not get interference when you receive a text or call? i know they run on a different spectrum but in my experience i've had a lot of interference when receiving a call.
again though, my main concern would be hardware damage.
That, or having your service terminated by sprint too. Sprints 4g isn't consistent enough to play any real time games with other people. You may think your fine... but people will curse you as you lag kill.

Sprint turns a blind eye to people using the wireless tether app. They could be jerks about it like att. Please don't ruin it for the rest of us. Wireless tether isn't intended for xbox live.

Is there a 4G tower in your back yard? That's ridiculously good!
Last cycle I used my phone yo download and stream about 80 gigs of data unteathered and sprint called me and said I was in violation of the ToS so im getting wifi to use instead. But its just a tad annoying for a company to sell unlimited data and then limit the ammount you can use and still not be able to tell you how much is to much.

This gets "discussed" about every month, usually turns nasty and trollish. And I might even agree with you, to a point.
What it comes down to is the ToS does NOT allow for unlimited data via tethering.
And yes, if they GAF, they could very easily tell what device is consuming that data.

Correct. So much so, I'm not even going to allow it to happen this time.
How many people think they are too addicted to their phones? Everywhere I go, Im always on my phone, not just talking to someone. I mean using the phone for anything. Im using the phone while walking, driving, shopping, watching a movie at a theatre, eating, standing in line, waiting at the airport, gym, etc. People have told me to get off the phone so I need C.A. classes which stands for Cellphone Anonymous. Thats how bad my addiction is. Lol. Im always checking xda, androidcentral, weather, phonescoop. I know how to use a wireless PS3 CONTROLLER to play all of the emulator games such as nes, snes, genesis, gameboy, turbo grafx 16, n64, neo geo, and soon gba games. Lets hear from others.....
Imagine I get the Galaxy Note 2, it will be even worse. I couldnt be without my phone for more than 10 min. Think about it unlimited 4g fast internet with tmobile wherever I go.
The only place I try super hard not to be on my phone is at church on Sunday morning.

Try some activities which you intentionally have to leave your phone at home, like playing soccer, basketball, etc.

I help as many people as I can on here, but I draw the line with those who abuse the hacked hotspot feature for connecting gaming consoles. I think it's a morally gross over stepping of cellular data/network usage.
I 100% agree unlimited data means unlimited, but here you're talking about how you use your data. I'm sure others here will assist you, but I felt compelled to express my disgust for this thread's topic.

There are other reasons to tether the ps3 than to play games... like for bluray live and things of that nature... you shouldn't always assume the worst... now if he said, I want to play online games, I wouldn't have even answered...

So about mud day yesterday, I was watching YouTube, all of a sudden everything started buffering no matter what video I watched. Downloaded a couple files and speeds were only 30kB/s. Didn't think anything of it. Thought it was the host. Didn't do much else but use tapatalk and noticed things were a but slow. Did a speed test and it shot up to like 300kB/s then hovered around 30-50kB/s felt that awfully strange.. as that's what would happen on my old throttle plan.
So I went to bed not thinking of it.
Got up this morning and speeds were the same. Stayed the same for the entire day til I got fed up and called T-Mobile. They "said" I wasn't being throttled. And after I *****ed they "reset" my phone on their network and things were back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced like symptoms? I'd hate to think they went this low to throttle us..

Are you sure you have the truly unlimited 4G plan... Or the unlimited data with let's say 2gb, 5gb or 10gb of 4G data.
If you have the truly unlimited data then you shouldn't be throttled. But if you have one of the other three plans where they cap the 4G data then they throttle you after that certain point.
Or maybe t mobile was having issues with your tower and had to reset the connection?

It wasn't just my area though, both s2 and s3 showed same speeds. And yes I have the truly unlimited.

Even with what I use on wifi, which might be another 2gb, is still not even 5gb's. So, I can only ASSUME you have been tethering, and they figured it out. That would explain the throttle.

You get 100 uses of tethering anyhow. Then they block you. But as psykhotic said get Netflix and watch HD movies and then tell me how much data you use. Not to mention you can download torrents via your phone. And I never use WiFi except for when transferring files to my phone.
But irregardless, it's unlimited, there shouldn't be a throttle period.

No not 100 uses of tethering.
You can use 100 MB before the block you if you already used the work around on the software they have on the phone.
The program by default on the phone though will actually block you right away.
Unless you use a custom APN then you get blocked after 100 MB.
If you change your User Agent on your browser the the User agent of the phone and you won't get blocked.

Soooo.... why not factory reset while on wifi? I don't understand why people treat the network as a substitute for a home network?
And streaming music doesn't use that much data, you'd have to watch 8 or 10 movies on Netflix to hit a gig. Don't tell me you watch 10 movies a week on your phone. I feel sorry for your eyes.
It is the abuse of the system that will do nothing but raise data rates for all of us. Thanks alot people, enjoy your rerun's of Charles in Charge.
Netflix even on the phone does use more then that. A 2 hour movie would be about 600 mb for that one move.
I use around 25gigs lol
