I have been using this gr8 piece of phone since few months but still I have noticed quite slow wifi tethering to laptop. When I test the speed on the phone it's very good, but sadly when I connect it to my mac the speed decreases very badly.
I used other android phone, it worked fine.
I am on 4.0.3 and using two users on the device.
Any clues

I apologise if this has come up before. However, and I don't understand why, my HTC DEsire was running perfectly about 2 weeks ago. But for some reason after I installed the iNSertCoin ROM my internet speed and market download speed is INSANELY slow. My phone says that I've got a 4 bar HSDPA connection so this really shouldn't be occuring. I've reverted back to the GingerVillain ROM (the rom I used before iNsertCoin) and it's still a problem.
I've tried many different Radios with the correct RIL's and nothing seems to work. It works fine with wifi (don't know why that would help but meh )
Help would be much appreciated guys. THanks.
Is anybody there?!
Come on guys. Someone help lol
You do realise that using something like HSDPA or 3G connects maybe miles away. It also depends on how much connection your carrier is giving out. Just use Wi-Fi or something but using something like HSDPA isn't always guaranteed to be 100% fast at ALL times.
Check at your carrier if you have any kind of maximum bandwith use. Maybe after like 200MB data transfer your account gets limited speeds. Fair use policy or something. Maybe that's why your speeds are so slow.
My plan is Unlimited Internet and I'm 100% sure I don't use so much that I exceed the fair-use policy. And my point is that 2 weeks ago it was perfectly fine. The speed was fine and I haven't moved house or anything. Just seems very odd that it would drop so much. For example, it takes me A VERY LONG time to download an app now. Before, this wasn't the case.
A few weeks ago, I rooted my brother's Evo 4G. Everything went as smooth as possible. Well, he's a cop, and their air cards suck, so he's been using his tethering quite a bit. The last few days though, he's noticed that his phone has slowed down considerably. In fact, he has a hard time texting because it's so slow. My first though was overheating, but he is using Wifi Tether (with the battery temp) and has been keeping an eye on it. Is there anything that tethering could be doing that would cause this? And no, he hasn't installed anything on his phone recently. At least not in the last 2 weeks or so.
Hello,
Since the last OTA(1.29.401.11) i have been experiencing a degraded wifi performance. Before the i had much stronger wifi signal and a faster connection. Now i'm lucky if i can reach the wifi at all.
Furthermore i experience batterydrain while wifi is on. Without wifi(3G is on) i have no problems with batterylife at all. I can go 16-17 hours without problems. However as soon as i turn wifi on i'm lucky to have more than 7 hours of battery time.
Any suggestions??
Have you tried the usual steps, forget network and re-add it, hard reset phone, reboot router. If you had no issues before the update these might work for you. There are lots of people been having issues with wifi from day one, me included. Hope you get it sorted.

Hi.
I don't know if this is an issue with the phone's hardware or my service provider.
First my phone was working beautifully everything was fine until one day I accidently dropped my phone and after a couple of hours the data was playing up. But I don't think that dropping the phone would do such a thing.
Any suggestions?

i've had somehow the same issue until ARHD 9.7.2 ..
when the phone was stock my 3G connection was blazing fast and reacted instantly ..
After flashing roms the connection become slower at reacting but the speed tests was still the same ..
however after i installed 9.7.2 the 3G speeds has been faster than ever for me!
On my n7 with some roms or kernels my wifi connects with a reboot as soon as I use any data it shows connected still but I have zero connectivity until I reboot again, and anything else on the network via wifi slows to a crawl.
I posted in the n7 thread when it started and never got any responses and now my s3 with some rom/kernels is doing the same thing.
The wireless router is a dsl router combo from century link, I have updated the firmware and called them but they say they have never seen or heard of this issue.
Any thoughts or inputs? On the n7 it's always the rom or kernels I get the best performance and battery life that seem to have this problem, of course. Also should note, the open network at work doesn't have this issue.
