Free tether to ps3

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.

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.

[Q] is android slow in wifi?

So today at my highschool I got the password to their wifi. First thing I did was download some roms of from here and my friend has an iphone we both downloaded a file that is 300mb and his was about 2MB/s while mine was stuck at 100kbps/s. Any reason to this ? Any way to fix this?

What was your download source? Lots, but not all, file hosts throttle speeds way down.
You're better off using a speed test website (not an app) to compare to an iphone.

It was mediafire his iphone is jailbroken and he just downloads any file really fast.compared to me.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

No problem wit the wifi speed on android.. May be he is using some app to increase the speed.. Try to chek the net speed next Tim.

I checked once again right now and he isnt using anything and still getting 2 to 3 mbps on download while im getting 100 to 200kbps
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

It may be your settings. In advanced wifi menu is it set to Always stay connected? If not it may turn off during deep sleep.
Also, I've heard of lots of corporate type networks (schools included) where android just didn't didn't work as well as other systems. I'm not sure why though. Its possibke that his is connecting using N standard and you're connecting using G....just a thought.
Try doing the same tests from your home or other open network and see if your results change. I consistantly get 15-20Mbps down and 3-4Mbps up with peaks up to 30 down 6 up. So I certainly wouldn't call it slow! (Mid signal btw).
I can get faster when I'm connected at 5Ghz, 40Mhz.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Those low speeds are not the norm. Try downloading something from another source. Your friend may have a mediafire account which will unthrottle the download speeds

Same at my home my bro has an ipod touch and I tested yesterday and got 200kbps - 300kbps on my s3 and he got 1.5mb im not using the speedtest app im just measuring how fast the downloads go. Is this an android problem because I have an evo 3d and the same thing happens as well

No issues for me. WiFi connects to our home n router and my schools WiFi no issues. Very fast at my school and same speed on my home router. Not to mention when browsing home computer files and downloading speeds reach to 5 megabytes a second. I'd say hardware issue. Not really sure what else it could be. Doc already said everything else

Question for you all: truly unlimited throttle

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..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

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.

17 gigs? I really don't see how most people can go over 5 without tethering. I use my phone constantly and I've never gone over 2. 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.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

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

Lately my data use has quadrupled and I use WiFi about 90% of the time. I've used 65 % of my 10gb. I have a week to go. I just switched us to mobile share last month. I am wondering if I have something wrong with my phone.

Well a little history is in order I suppose.
I've never come close to my 3GB cap. When I started in mobile share, I signed up for the 6 GB plan. Within two weeks I was at 65% of allotted use, so I switched to 10GB. Two weeks later I was again approaching the limit. I don't stream video, or Pandora, or anything like that. Something in my device is constantly connecting to 4G I'm seeing dumps of 50-60 MB at a time when I know for sure I'm home and on wifi.

I've seen what you guys are have been talking about. I don't download music or anything just average use like Pandora, Facebook, and of course xda.... And where I used to use around 4 ro 5 gigs a month my last bill showed I had used 17.2 gigs. Glad I'm grandfathered in on the unlimited plan. But seems strange how data has went up so drastically but I haven't changed the way I've used this phone and I've had it since the day it came out.

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

That's what I'm experiencing as well.

I just noticed something. When connected to Wi-Fi I still see the 4g lte indicator. It didn't turn off until I switched on airplane mode then enabled Wi-Fi after I disabled airplane mode, the mobile indicator stayed off. I wonder if mobile data isn't shutting off when I have Wi-Fi enabled.

Did you install any new apps when you started to notice this happening?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I can confirm this on stock rooted JB...I've gone through 3 GB of data and I haven't even been downloading/streaming. If you use Avast! AV there's a network monitor that tracks your data usage. Mine says "system apps" are responsible for the heavy usage, but doesn't specify which apps.

Given a rooted device, BetterBatteryStats can track data usage with (theoretically - without knowing exactly what the problem is, this is an educated guess) a better breakdown of services than just "system data". Might be worth a try.

Are you having similar problems with your note 3?

My note 3 is still right out of the box, (my second I should mention I returned the 1st) first thing I noticed was the buggy god it wouldn't lock on and stick, it would just jump around my general area. Second is the LTE speed, now before the note 3 I got the s4 and on a torrent download I would get 2.2mbs my note 3 highest speed on the same torrent wasn't able to get above 1.1 mbp (this is with full LTE network bars NOT 4G ((with out LTE that u sometimes get)).)

I havn't checked on the Torrent problem in a while but i think it was unresolved and some people just get slow speeds with torrents only.

My cousin also had this problem so we went to a shop and let the tech fix it. He's afraid to fix it by himself hehe

Torrent downloading is different at different times, depends on the ratio, if you're complaining about 1.1mb download speed, then you should kill yourself

I have weaker signal than my note 2-
and buggy gps... it likes to just make the icon disappear and then 10 seconds later comes back sometimes it does it over and over and over others it decides to work...

Just to to enlighten your moronic retarded self, torrents speeds do with alot more then "ratio" there are legions of factors that effect torrent speed and iv tweaked all of them and still a torrent with 10000 seeds and 500 leaches won't go above 20kbps now while my s4 and s3 are going well above 1.1 mbps there is something wrong with the note 3 I simple want to know if there is a way to fix it
