I don't know for sure. I only get it to work half the time myself. But I do know for a fact that its been known to be very buggy on our phones. There are a few other apps out there but they just cost too much in my opinon. Someone has a free-ware app but the configuration is best left to a tenured senior network architect. I forget what its called it is so difficult to use.
lol, yea iknow, its will us cellular so i didnt know if that had anything to do with it, and if they disabled something in the phone? but do you know what some of the other more exensive ones are named? i would like to at least mabye look them up.
yeah man i had that fatal error stuff too. you need to install ICS before wmwifirouter will work. i can track down a cab if you need it

Damn it! I didint realize he was on a STOCK rom. I would have told him that as well.
I feel stock ROMS dont belong in this forum! Please move this post to the main thread.
Thank you.
I am not a moderator but he will agree.
Are you using the very latest WMWifiRouter? I purchased it a few months ago and it works flawlessly, but when I tried an older version it always crashed out with Fatal Errors.
I have a USCC 6800 as well, tho I've modded mine, however from the factory the only thing that is disabled/missing is MMS. ICS should work right out of the box, so I don't believe he will need a cab for this.
They are running extrememly old radios/roms tho, like ver 1 rom and ver 1.x radios....
I highly recommend you look into upgrading your phone to a newer radio and custom rom as it will dramatically improve your phone. Mostly you will get RevA EVDO when it comes to your area. Also GPS works and the phone seems to run a lot faster.
Do a lot of reading first, mainly learn to use QPST to back up your phone's programming and after flashing write it back to the phone, verify your EPST info is correct as I just found out recently that mine wasn't and this was why my EVDO didn't work. Other than these 2 things, the rest of the guides on how to flash your phone should get you thru the rest of it.
Any questions, feel free to PM me and I can point you in the right directions.

I've been using USB Modem with my Sprint Touch Pro for the last week and I'm having a major problem with it.
When uploading images via FTP, after one or two jpg files are uploaded, the upstream speed diminishes to almost nothing. It does this every time without fail.
The workaround is just disconnecting and reconnecting, but that's a pain.
Anyone else having this problem? It seems like it's some sort of switch being tripped in the phone or by Sprint when it sees that a large amount of data is being uploaded...just a guess though.

Hi,
Strange problem, I don't know if this will solve your problem.
But you should definately try a programm called "wmrouter" (google...)
This will turn your TP in a wireless router, which is really easy to use.
greetings,
Wout
have you tried the registry hacks for tethering? there's a cab if you don't want to do it yourself, but perhaps it'll fix your problem. You can do a search on here or go here for other touch pro essentials as well: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42730
The edits are under "internet" on there. goodluck.

he's right. that app is great and also lets you connect your cpu wirelessly. only problem is that it drains your phone faster cause it uses wifi. but you won't have disconnections... you could try the registry hacks thread on that link i gave you first and if that doesn't work you should pay for wifi router or pdanet.
hey if you resolve this issue please update us on how u did it.. thanks
Wow, thanks for the help guys. Problem solved.
First off, USB Modem simply doesn't work right on the Touch Pro, so I'm uninstalling it. With the pre-installed Internet Sharing software, there's no need for USB Modem anyway and it cuts out the old step of having to dial #777 to connect.
Thanks for the suggestion Unflushablelog. I downloaded and installed the Internet Sharing tethering hack cab file, fired up Internet sharing and blam, full Rev A speed and no diminished upload speed and best of all, no #777 dial up. Awesome. Better solution than I could have hoped for.
As for WMWifiRouter, I'm sure that would work too but I prefer the USB tether.

I just bought a touch pro and im waiting for sprint to ship it, i got the everything plus plan will sprint slap me with a huge bill for tethering?

i think only the phone as a modem add on to the plan covers tethering... but that's why people use that registry fix... to make sure it uses the sprint line (which is what simply everything uses - regular unlimited data). we should be getting billed for it, but we don't. just try not to spend a lot of time tethering and you'll be fine (basically you don't want to raise any flags by having abnormal data charges on your account cause then sprint might look into it)... people have been doing this for years and that's always their recommendation.. i've never heard anyone say don't do it. it's something that sprint tries to capitalize on by selling an unnecessary extra when it should be free, whether you have the simply everything plan or just the regular power vision with internet
Unflushable could you provide some more info about this reg fix please?

Hi gang,
First off, I just wanted to say that this site is kickass and I appreciate all the hard work the devs have put into helping breathe new life into devices such as the HD2.
As the title states I have an unlocked HTC HD2 that I have flashed with Energy ROM. The phone can make phone calls, however, when I try to do anything data related (surf the web, access Pandora, receive email, etc.) I get a connection error. I have scoured the web for a few hours trying to find the proper APN settings but have yet to find a configuration that will work. Is there anyone out there that is running the Energy ROM and that has successfully setup their HD2 on the ATT network to be able to actually utilize the EDGE data capabilities? If so, I would really be grateful if I could get some assistance on getting my phone to work fully. I apologize if this question has been answered elsewhere and will keep looking in the meantime. Cheers!
Please disregard, I found a thread with the proper settings! For anyone else looking to get this to work with a similar setup like mine the thread that got mine working is:

Hi,
This is a question for all the Devs out there....
I was wondering if it is possible, to somehow change a setting on the phone, to significantly boost reception strength on both the mobile network and a 3G connectivity.
Now i know this would (if possible) come at a significant cost of battery as well... this is fine, as i would only want to use it at my work desk, where i have my phone plugged into a power socket the whole day anyways.
So the signal boosting would have to be a switchable function (if its possible at all) so that when i finish work for the day, i would then be able to switch it back to "normal" and not "boosted"
Its a weird request, and like i said i am not sure if its even possible, but any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I am sure i am not alone in the desire for such a function.
Edit: i found a bit of info in another thread, about a different phone.... but i dont understand it, nor know if it has any relevance to this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924440
Thanks in advance,
Does anyone have this solution as i require it as well for T-Mobile UK as well
I am running 2.3.4
Thank You
anyone have any idea?
isn't it dependent on the modem being used?
Yeh its very modem file dependant. But i am sure there would be a way to give the signal a boost from changing some system files somewhere inside the phone.
Changing the amount of power required to boost the signal would be a great start, but like i said, i am not a developer, but it would be good if a developer could have a look at this, and see whether it is possible or not.
The 9100T modems have a higher SAR (radiation) value, from what I read or understand is really a function of the power output/transmission. As these are specific modems for the T versions, I'm sure you could boost and fine tune other modems in a similar way. The carrier might have to support it for it to work properly though.
Trade of might be higher battery drain and radiation.

The modem firmware, where you would have to edit stuff, is a binary, and undocumented. You would have to put it though a hex editor.
Not many people have the knowhow, and those who do know that its a basically imposable task.
ahh ok fair enough.
I figured it would be possible, but wondered why it had never been attempted. If its as stated above, then chances are it most likely wont be figured out or attempted anytime soon.
Thanks for the insight guys, appreciate it all.
Cheers
But Orange do some sort of booster though i have no idea what it involves .

It involves using wifi to take calls and send texts. Instead of mobile data.
Hi XDA Users
I use my SGS2 for wifi tethering and I wonder if anyone can help/recommend or merely explain why the speeds I get when my laptop is connected to my phone using the in-built wifi tehering tool vary so much (please see attached picture)
Last night for instance I was achieving 1Mbps download speeds while using a torrent client but today I struggle to get 50kps.
Is there an app to show me what speed the phone is connected to my laptop is and in anyway control the settings?
I don't believe the variation of 20kps to 1Mbps( it hit 1.1Mbps at 1 point) can be down to the network directly, meaning traffic etc.
I use a rooted SGS2 with DiLiDroid ICS - UHLPS rom/kernel etc, ( purely for jkay deluxe settings) on the 3UK network with Unlimited/All You Can Eat Data.
Any thoughts, explanations, recommended apps, ANY REPLY frankly will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys, more than once this site has come up trumps for me here's hoping it does again
got a few ideas but it doesnt really matter why just how to fix it, try and use some different combos of wifi tethering. first you need to troubleshoot and find what the actual problem is. try it with usb tethering and see if you have the same problem. if the usb is fine then its a problem with the wifi and not the data connection, so on and so forth. you need to narrow it down until you can provide enough information so people can actually help you.
in situations like this, you havent given much info and you havent (by the looks of things) dont anything yourself to try and narrow down the problem. all youve done is noticed something isnt right and come straight here to get us to do all the work for you. i dont know why thats happening and ill be suprised if anyone can give you a definite answer. there are just so many points of failure in your problems its impossible to say which one it is without you giving way more information and doing 99% of the work to fix this problem yourself.

I don't know how to ''trouble shoot'' my problem, that is why I asked for any sort of help i.e apps that I should use to help identify the problem.
I didn't noticed a problem and come straight on here, I searched google for a good few hours but the results were not connected to my problem, which is also why I asked for tech-minded people to give me advice, I don't know where to begin.
This morning I was getting 500+kps downloads while wifi tethered so I'm certain it is not a data/network issue.
I will try usb tethering BUT I would still like any advice WHATSOEVER from anyone who may read this, cheers
That your data speeds are so variable almost certainly points to perfectly normal network/congestion related issues. This kind of thing is a frequent problem faced by users of mobile networks all over the world.
You do realise the data speeds you'll get at any given moment will be determined by a) the number of people using the cell you're connected to, b) how much traffic your carrier has going in/out of its network to the 'outside world' (and how much backhaul it has) and c) how much traffic the network that the site you're trying to access (or the people assisting you to steal copyrighted material) is experiencing.
These factors will naturally/obviously cause data speeds to fluctuate much more widely on a wireless/mobile connection than they would over a wired connection.
Postfatal is absolutely right re: there's sod all anyone here could tell you to 'fix' the issue. It's basic troubleshooting. Similar steps to what you'd follow if you thought a PC internet connection wasn't up to par. Google is your friend if that kind of thing is beyond you.

try with some third party 'wifi tethering' apps from store and see if the issue persists with that also

I seriously doubt a range of 20kps to 1.1Mbps can be down to traffic on the network, I'm backed up by thinking this because I can download on the phone directly at close to 1Mgps speeds consistently and then tether and get close to no speed at all.
It seems that if I reboot the phone and then leave it for a few minutes before turning wifi tether on it will connect at a higher speed, I would love a way of ''forcing'' the phone to connect at it's highest level available, but I don't know if thats possible or how I would even do a google search on it, what search terms are you suggesting? Everything I try gives unrelated results.

USB Tethering makes no difference to the speed whatsoever, has that narrowed it enough for someone to maybe give me some advice?
Will someone please tell me what tools/apps/pc programs I can use to attempt to identuify the problem myself? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?
The only semi-useful app I've found is UpDownMeter free, but this only tells me lol the up and down speeds, interesting but not of any use.
Come on guys you guys are smarter than me, been there done it etc, help me help dudes
