[Q] Wifi tethering speed

I have this phone rooted, but still am using stock. I have the 10 gig plan from tmobile so I have free wifi tethering. My question is..
My speed seems slower than on my phone when I wifi tether. is this because I'm using stock? And if I put another rom on, will it give me better speeds when I tether? I'm just curious..
Thanks in advance.

what are you tethering too? a laptop? there might be a app to change the settings to open the bandwidth with i suppose...i use a wifi router at home and use the 5ghz..and opened the settings to push and open more bandwidth..maybe theres a app regarding better then stock settings?.

That does show an increase, but it doesn't multiply my speed by 5. It just doubles it. I really want to get as close to the speed I get directly on my phone. Would flashing another Rom help? or any other wifi app?

so far i haev tried everything and this is the best results that i have gotten .

Updated last night just before bedtime and i'm having a few issues
How are you doing that?
I cleared the dictionary from the Settings --> Language and Input --> Swype settings.
That didn't resolve it. I'm noticing that many of the settings in this category are entirely unresponsive as well.
If I go into Swype from Settings--> Applications, the Clear Data button is greyed out.
Force Stop doesn't enable the button, Disable doesn't enable the button.
It also just continuously shows "calculating" for the space stats.

I'm ALSO noticing that this morning, I used my phone for 20 minutes to send some texts and try to get swype working, and used 6% of my battery!
Looking at the Battery chart, I see my "mobile network signal" is staccato, interrupted black and green, green only 50-60% of the time. Not sure if this is contributing.
And I've lost 4% more as I've been typing this on my PC - phone not even on. Total time since unplugged about 45 minutes now.
Any help on the above?

I made a separate thread for this since much of it is outside the scope of swype.

Just as an FYI - the latest Swype beta worked out of the box after doing the manual update to FF18 official.

Anyone else having Play Music issues?

Just today I have gone into my Google Play Music App (which I have an all access subscription to), and there is no music in there, not in the All Access section or in the Music on my device section?
If I uninstall it and install it again it works the first time I run it, and stops after that? Just shows no music. And even if I search on All Access, it shows "No Results"?
Anyone else seeing this issue today?
Cheers
Stewart

This is my play music screen?
Any ideas? I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but still the same.
I noticed under accounts and sync in settings, there is no entry for google music - should there be?

No one got any ideas?
Could someone do me a favour? Under Settings / Accounts & Sync / Google - do you have an entry for Music? I don't seem to have one?
Edit!
I have figured it out!! It doesn't like to be Greenified!!

Respect to you Sir, for posting your solution despite no responses. I have Play music and would happily have helped, but I've only just read the post.

No its not grrenified, there are some music showing but lots of white blank spaces and the interface looks terrible.

Does it to full transparent proxy for all apps?

Well, Orbot let me choose that default option to use it for all apps, and that's how I tested it.

Just so were on the same page. With root does it let you mask other apps? check chrome or Firefox.
Sorry for being a pain

No problem. That was Firefox the screenshot was in. I purposely used Orbot's option to check in browser to make 100% sure that the browser was using it. I'll upload a screenshot of it in Chrome.
I did check the option in it's settings for "Use Bridges", because both Firefox and Chrome wouldn't resolve the test address without it, but it's possible I wasn't patient enough.

Thanks, I am looking at getting a G3 upgrading from a moto xt926. How is your battery life? Several hours 4g and Bluetooth

I think the battery life is the best I've had on any Android phone. However, I don't use Bluetooth or 4G a lot. I do use both some, but I'm pretty conservative in my usage and keep all toggles off when I'm not using it.
I additionally took the free LG G Pad 8.3 tablet offer when my wife and I got our G3s, and so except for the phone-specific test I just made I use the tablet for Tapatalk, GPS and playing music, on purpose so we wouldn't have to put as much wear and tear on our phone batteries like we did with our old phones.
I use the Jasmine ROM v4.0, which is a modular debloated stock. I use the main package and then I picked and chose between the "LG" and I think "Other" packages in order to get the LG Calculator, LG Calendar, and install what's necessary for the QRemote to work. I'm trying to remember if there was anything I took from the "Verizon" package as well, but I don't recall for sure if I did - I'd have to look again.
Good luck with your search and hope you find the ideal upgrade. I was so happy to find such a powerful phone at such a cheap price ($30) and the other day it was free - don't know if it still is. Too bad we didn't wait one more week.

The camera is also the absolute best and fastest, even in low light, among all the cameras on smart phones I've used. The laser focus really helps speed it up.
