Can anybody tell me why my WLAN speeds are so slow !!........... Even when I am conected via a 2MB broadband router, I still only get a max speed of around 25kbps on media player. As for conecting to Radio 1 live, well forget it. It just will not conect. Can anyone assist me with this problem please..............
Thanks

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but maybe worth a try if you haven't already...
Try setting the 'power save' mode slider from its default of 'best battery to 'best performance' (click the wifi icon in the bottom right corner, then change to the settings tab).
Last night I could barely connect to any sites using my WiFi router (with 2mb ADSL), once I changed the setting it was significantly quicker (appeared to be almost broadband speed*).
* Granted, I havent done any bandwidth tests though.

I tried that already and it made little difference. I think all that will do is increase the power of the WiFi transmitter so that you get a better conection and can use it further from the router. My LAN Manager says that the signal strength is good right now. So its not realy an issue.
Here is a link for a band width speed tester. Its online so theres nothing to download and it works realy good.

OK I just ran a speed test myself at the web site I posted and here are the results.
Sitting in the Cradle: 402 Kbps
Out of Cradle on Med performance setting: 389 Kbps
Out of Cradle on Full Performance setting: 368 Kbps
So Like I said, very little difference there !!.
By the way, if your trying to run the speed test on the Blue Angel and cant find where the button is to start the test. When you see a small box apear with "Start a personal test" at the top and the description of test type you have selected in the middle. At the bottom of the box, you will see a blank section. Click on that !!!....... For some reason Mobile Internet explorer cant display the buttons correctly. Or at least it cant on mine anyway. but it does all work ok and you can do as many tests as you like for free !!!.
When I measured speed from speedest.net app on my evo with 4g on, I get between 3-4 mbps download speed - and web sites and such load very fast. But when I tether my evo with 4g on and measure the speed on my laptop, I get barely 0.2-0.3 mbps download - and watching streaming content of the laptop is useless - all it does is buffer forever.
Anyone know how to make this work?
Thanks!
No one has a clue?
What tether?
Via EVO on XDA app...
I am speaking about the wireless tether app
The latest version?...ie, one off market?
Via EVO on XDA app...
I am using "2.0.5 pre 8" which came with Fresh 3.2.0.0
I'm using 2.0.5 Pre 9 and with 4G am not really doing any better than you...then again, on the phone it's slow as crap, too.
I don't think it's your wifi tether...i think it's the app giving you false readings. I used to use usb tether (before EViO went to a kernel that wouldn't support it) and the speeds weren't any better.
You can see if it works on your kernel and verify wired vs. wireless speeds...
Bumping because of the same issue
I get 8 to 10 mbit consistantly on my 4G on my speedtest app and transfer speeds when downloading files on to my phone.
However, with Wifi tether I can't get any higher then roughly 1.5 mbps on my laptop. I've tried different channels, different security settings, no security at all... etc.
I do suspect it's a software limitation because the app itself is meant to tether 1x/3g speeds, and 3G itself i'd say averages between 500kbit to 1.5mbit download speeds(I'm talking roughly... could be faster or slower).
So my guess is the developers haven't bothered with the coding to make it work well with faster connections. There's no reason it should be a hardware limitation because our wireless chips are G and N compatible. I've gotten speeds around 17mbps up and down on wifi on my evo.
I think you may be right, as I'm starting to hear from quite a few people that are thinking the same thing. Everyone has crazy speeds with the SpeedTest App, then are lucky to hit 1meg with the computer.
Can someone with the "correct" kernel test the wired tether speeds???
EDIT: Just tried Calk's EViO Beta which worked with wired tether and the speed is just as slow.
The question now is, does the Sprint HotSpot tether at 4G speeds? As I said before, Calk released a framework flash that allows the use of the HotSpot without it on your plan, but it won't work (for anyone) on 4G, and automatically kicks down to 3G...
Fixed the 4G issue!
This was posted by creator of wifi-tether as a possible fix, I tried it and it fixed our issue. I now get full 8mbps download via wifi tether.
To make sure things go smooth, I would make sure wifi tether is NOT running in the background
Go into terminal on phone or adb via computer:
adb shell
su
rm /data/data/android.tether/bin/fixroute.sh
Not sure why this fixes it, but not complaining

Thanks for sharing!
Deleting fixroute.sh mad wireless tether lose my internet connection after about 30 seconds. Did he have an updated script?
I had a similar problem. Fixed it by setting my setcpu profile to performance for the time I was tethering.

Didn't work for me either...

FWIW, WiFi Tether on my Hero would download at 100-120KB/s all day long...on 3G...Possible EVO issue???
Worked for me!

I downgraded back to 2.0.5 Pre 7 and getting good speeds now! Also added benefit is cpu running cooler.

Can you upload the .apk?
glad to hear the developer is working on the issue.
anyone hear of a work around for devices that can not connect to an "ad-hoc" wifi hotspot?
PS3 will not see an "ad-hoc" wifi!

the latest wifi tether supports infrastructure.
ps3 can detect it.

please elaborate on this...
which version? and how do I set it up?
is there any posibility that any one can make some sort of download booster that uses Mobile Data and WiFi at the same time.
similar to samsung download booster? i saw an app on Play Store but sometimes doesnt work.
the mobile plans prices are getting lower and the speeds getting higher, it would be nice mod for some that have unlimited data plan and high speed from mobile. they could combine wifi and have even higher speed.
Hi guys,
I would like to see if anyone on this forum has any idea of being able to have 2 sim card's inserted both with a Data Plan and being able to use both sim card's data plan at the same time to increase speed of downloads on the phone?
OR if it's possible to use both Wifi & 4G/ LTE together to increase download speeds?
I remember the Galaxy S5 had a similar feature called Download Booster? Apple also has the same feature called Wifi Assist.
Maybe a Magisk Module or some kinda mod ? An app that would allow this ??

Wifi Assist doesn't increase download speeds, it just switches to mobile data when wifi is unreliable. Download Booster supposedly did what you asked, but I think it didn't increase download speeds, it just used both connection to download several files simultaniously. When you start downloading a large file, your device makes one connection and does the data transfer on that, you can't use then an other connection to boost it (except for torrent and downloads like that where the file is actually sliced up into small pieces). So my point is that I don't know about any solution that can achieve this, and I don't even think that it's possible for regular downloads.
Samsung's Download Booster does indeed speed up downloads executed in the browser. With my 80mbps wifi plus LTE I can get download speeds of about 150mbps. But only with in-browser downloads of 60mb or above, so it hardly ever kicks in. As OP said, would be awesome to configure for torrents and the like.
Hi, facing a strange issue, the issue is when I use 4G or 3G on phone I get good speed around 15Mbps to 18Mbps, while sharing the Internet to Laptop by USB tethering I get full speed, but whereas while sharing the Internet over Wifi Tethering, it seems like the speed is getting restricted to max 4Mbps-5Mbps. Any help with this matter will be appreciated. Thanks
pl check if you have not enabled data saver mode or have divided the internetnet connced devices speeds.. For all folks pl check developer mode.. or use #*#*4636#*#* from your diler pad.
