Any Rom I use my wifi never exceeds 200kbs yet my other tablet can get 15mbps easily. Could it be the modem or perhaps it's a wide spread issue.

Are you running a custom rom? If so then its very likely its because of the kernel and rom.

So it may take a couple of minutes for the phone to go from wifi to 3G once I turn off WiFi on the phone. I'm on FF18 modem. Anybody's got any suggestions? Maybe a modem I should try?
Well from my experience I used to have the same problem u are having now and the only solution that fix it for me was going back to el29 rooted .. flash a el26 kernel with cwm .... use calkulin format all , do it 3 times then flash the rom u want ... good luck ...

It seems like it is a random thing. Mine does it then doesnt, it happens more from 4g to 3g. It may take 5 to 7 minutes to reconnect.

Fc15 modem gives me the fastest handoff between my wifi and my 3g
sent from my BAD A$$ Epic touch
Note this was removed in lh1 and newer firmwares. Even worse is that I had mine set to 2.4ghz only and that Is what was still set after flashing to lh1 which means without thus app I could never have gotten 5ghz to work.

Thanks for this gonna make a backup and try it out
Edit: I don't know if I switch it over to 5 ghz it doesn't connect to anything at all. The wifi on this phone totally blows that's about my only gripe I just use the mobile network cause I know out won't drop!
Question: is there any possible way to actually just increase the power of the wifi? Or does that need some kind of patch or something? It would be nice to use wifi when not sitting directly in front of the router

Yours maybe flawed, my first s3 had trouble connecting to wifi, swapped it for another and no more trouble. I can be outside at my truck in the street and connect to my wifi in the house on the second floor

Question, are there any roms out there that have a better quality hot spot /wifi tether than others or is this feature just generally poor on this phone?
The reason I am asking is that my original evo had great hot spot quality. I drive back and forth from Houston to San Antonio and with the evo my wife would be able to be connected and work on her laptop the whole way. With this phone she can't.

I'm sorry what app are you using to tether? Treves app or are you using the modded sprint tether app?

Wifi-tether treve mod.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Ok several months ago the sprint tether app was modded and is the best out. Let me find the link I will put it in here. Most of the newly updated roms all have the modded sprint tether already built in. Have you read the changelog for Blazer?
Here's the link to the mod sprint hotspot thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40013605

I did download the md4hotspotmod.zip. I guess I need to research what the best settings are for the app, there are a lot of setting options if I remember correctly.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
All I did was flash it, is that all I need to do? The app is called Sprint Hotspot, blue and yellow?

No not at all just turn it on. Uses your phone number as password but you can change that. Treves has a lot more settings and configuration. This is the sprint hot spot and you just turn the switch to on.

Hacked native tether is more stable than that.

I completely agree, but I thought it mentioned he was having trouble with it. I haven't used either much, but they both seemed to work equally as well when I did use them. The native hotspot is easier to use too.
Driving back to Houston right now and trying to use the native Hotspot. It says the laptop is connected but we're not able to access the Internet. Any suggestions?

Tried to connect using a tablet, same thing, it connects to the phone but no Internet access. Maybe it's just that the phone doesn't have a strong enough signal, hard to believe the signal on my old evo was stronger than on this phone.

Set the password up and enter it. It should work right away. It uses the phone number as the default password but you may need to change it.

Were you able to get the modded hotspot working?
So I've had the note 3 for 1 week now. I have the unlimited everything plan and 2.5 gb of data. I have yet to activate my hot spot and yet when I check my usage for hot spot, its at 100 mb, and it keeps going up! Am I missing something here?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Actually I noticed what app is using my hot spot data. Team speak for android is using my hot spot data, even though my hot spot is off. Anyone know what the deal is with this?

I have the same plan and my tethering MB is also creeping up on its own. 48 MB so far and I haven't even turned it on.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 2
Hmm, no good. I wonder what is causing this?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Not seeing the same. Tethering shows 10.8MB which is when I tested it. Hasn't moved since.
It's the way T-Mobile monitors data. If you view a website in desktop mode on chrome it uses hot spot data.

my network speed is very slow
I was on the stock rooted rom and my dl speed was great but when I flashed over the jedi rom my speeds died down drastically. .. I noticed that in the rom it says it has network speed tweaks but not sure how to find them or apply them please help

Wow, thats some BS right there! Maybe something to do with people having to use chrome to use hotspot without paying for it? That's my guess.
Anyone play with this on the Note 3 yet? I know a lot of us are having issues with WiFi connectivity, so this might be a decent tool to help. It does drain more battery though.
