Does anyone know if you use the internet sharing program on DCD's rom. Will the provider know if your traffic is tethered?
thanks.
i use the internet sharing quite constantly using DCDs rom. I have flashed every version he has done since 2.0 (about a flash a day). every one of them tethers fine for me. the speeds are incredible, i got about 1500kbps today on speakeasy, it was exciting. as far as the carrier finding out, i really dont know if there is a difference or not. i think data looks like data to them. i really dont know since i speak from the perspective of an alltel customer, who doesnt have to worry about that because unlimited thethering is included.

Hello,
Hoping to get some advice here. Currently on Sogarth Base Vanilla Rom running radio 1.58 on Rogers with the new 6GB data plan. Couldn't get the 3g and H to show up until I configured the Band settings to Auto (another tip i got from these forums). This changes the provider name to "ROGERS UMTS". At this point, I could get 3g + H downloads, although it still felt a bit slow. Unfortunately, my 7500 will no longer hold any cell calls. All outgoing fails, and incoming only lasts 1-2 minutes. These are tests throughout the city(GTA).
Wife's phone (Tytn II) is working great at 3G + H using stock rom.
The only way I can get good cell reception again is if I manually tune the Band settings to GSM & GSM (1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850). Of course, I can never get any type of speed over Edge. The provider name changes to just ROGERS, which is the same provider name that the Tytn II gets.
Anyone have any words of advice or tips that I can try? Rogers won't help because it's an unsupported phone. Data reception is not an issue because the Tytn II gets full 3G/H. I'm hoping to finally unleash the power of this phone.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to downgrade to 1.57. I never tried this version with the data plan, because I only just recently got it. Hoping some people may have some telling experiences.
Thanks in advance,
achok.
Just as an update, reflashed to 1.57 radio with no improvement.
any other athena + rogers users here?
did you try the 3G hack?
download the nice utility from this forum
it was called something super mobile hack
it lets you customize sooooo much stuff of the phone inside and out
after i enabled it, mine always gets the best stuff 3G and HDPDA speed
which was awesome
if i didn't enable it, it was always on EDGE, and very few times on 3G
HOWEVER!!!!!!
i think i know why HTC did not turn that on by default
because whenever i keep 3G & HDPDA on all the time
it drains battery real fast
is worse than using WI FI all day long
so what i do now, is to keep it on EDGE for the automated downloads from programs Weather, TomTom, Stock, push email, etc
but when i SURF THE WEB, i enable 3G, and ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM like the commercial
is a quick ON OFF thing in the COMM Manager.
and when i'm done looking up stuff on the WEB, i turn it back to EDGE mode
to save battery
Don't know why you need to turn it off, I keep H on all the time and at the end of a low-useage day I'm still in the mid-80's on my battery. Yes, if I start surfing heavily the battery goes down much faster, but not from background push/pulls.
i do surf browse de web quite a bit
lots of download, some uploads
streaming videos
and i use VNC and remote deskop quite a lot for work / home stuff, meanwhile on the road.
this phone is the best thing every.
now i can literally work from any where, and people will still think i'm in the office
as long as i have good signal that is
Best thing with the Advantage is...... OUR BATTERY LAST SOOOOO LONNNNNNNNNG compare to a LAPTOP of any size, doing the same thing
Thanks for the replies and suggestion. I'll try the 3G hack and report back.
Anyway you can report which Radio ROM you are using? I'm still believing that certain Radio ROM's are better suited for the Rogers/Fido 3G network....
...or is the Rogers/3G network just than inconsistent?
Regards,
achok.
as you can see in my siggie it's the X7510 which means it has the stock 1.58 Radio that everyone is upgrading to with the Modded ROMs
and the other thing is, im on FIDO, not Rogers.
but LOL as if that matters anymore, they are both the same company now.
just one has better billing, and Cutomer Service, than the Get Lost actitude from Rogers CS people, and always screwed up and over billed invoices every month....
Folks, just as an update:
I recently upgraded to Michy 4.0 1.2 spl (16mb version) (fantastic ROM by the way...) and stayed with Radio 1.57.
So far all looks to be good, but still need to test over the next few days.
Hopefully, this is a sign that things are finally starting to work the way it's supposed to.
Regards,
Achok
I just upgraded to AP 4.0 Platinum..Everything works fine ( I think ) except when I go to m.youtube.com to watch videos, and streaming media starts, It says "Failed to find network."
Please help!!!
Coz this is the very reason why I upgraded the rom..thinking it would solve the problem..
I'm with Rogers..
I already installed the latest FP7 plugin thingy..
HELP ME!!!!
i cant get my 3G or my HSDPA to work at all. Im using The HTC TOUCH PRO, which i imported on the ROGERS network. Ive been reading these forums and i have no clue as to what radios and rom versions are nor how to even tell what im using. WHOSE THE GENIOUS HERE...HELP ME.. This phones wack unless i get the best out of it...
Htc touch pro
if anyone can email me directly also that would be cool...

Before I say anything else I would like to give a huge thanks to all of the developers and people that assist in the process of making these phones above par in every imaginable way. I could not have achieved this without you.
First things first, I am not entirely sure what THE contributing factor has been that has allowed me to do this. I am brand new to flashing, I finally took the plunge last Friday, but what I do know is that before I flashed my phone it was impossible for me to connect to Xbox Live via my Touch Pro. Through the troubleshooting on my Xbox I would always make it to 'internet' but always failed when trying to connect to Xbox Live.
I am going to share my settings with you so you can see how I accomplished this. For those who are asking, no I do not have an internet account set up at home. For now it is a financial decision that is beyond mine and my wife's means so figuring this out has had huge dividends for us. One more thing, I would not advise this if you do not have an unlimited data plan.
Okay, last friday I flashed my phone to NFSFAN's latest ROM and the Telus Radio. I adjusted my TCP settings via Advanced Config. to the max setting in it which is 98304. Though I know there are ways to make the wifi be used as a hotspot, I simply transferred a program I have been using for sometime over to the new ROM after flashing, it is Walking Hotspot. I enabled this program on my phone and connected to the network my phone was sending out via a wireless adapter for my Xbox 360. After doing that I logged into my account on my Xbox and boom.... Xbox Live.
My theory is that it lies in the ROM that was flashed. I tested all of the radios that are available to be flashed for CDMA and had the same results for all, so it does not seem to solely rest on the Telus. Even though after substantial speed testing, the Telus, for my phone understanding each phone has different results, had the highest download speeds. Average speeds ranged from 1.09 Mbps at one bar of reception to 3.5 Mbps at four bars of reception.
I have played multiplayer for hours, downloaded megabytes of DLC content, and watched TV shows and movies over Netflix without it over heating the wifi within my phone. It has been an amazing experience.
I wanted to post this because a few months ago I searched tirelessly to find a solution to fix the non-connection issue I was having. Hopefully, if someone is in the same boat this can be of some help to them.
I've wanted to try this but i find it hard to believe that the internet is fast enough to support playing over Xbox live.
Never know tho i could be wrong
I thought the same thing until I tried it. I promise you, all of the information I shared on here is legitimate.
Don't be surprised if you end up seeing data charges on your bill. Stealth tethering or not w/o a Phone as a modem plan they know that you are not browsing the web on your device. Just lettin you know. I'm banned from XBL any way lol.
confirmed
I've been doing this since my 8525 and kaiser. I do mine somewhat different though. I use internet sharing on my laptop from my phone, then hook up my 360 to my laptop and bridge the connection. Works great, been doing it for like 3 years now and no overage charge for my data, still at 9.99 a month.

That is a 'teathering'
they can detect that.
however the wifirouter is what he is explaining.

If there was a detection issue, I'm sure I would be paying thousands of dollars for the 13mil of kilobytes I processed through this past month. Thankfully it is not.
Yeah I have been doing this with my free version of WMWifirouter since my mogul. I am on Sprint, and the speeds are fast enough. So WMWifiRouter + Xbox wifi adapter=Xbox live. Didn't realize this was not possible on all. Huh, who knew?
btw
do still have the free wifirouter file handy?
i had it for my mogul as well but... that was dropped in soup... with all my wm file cabs...
i tried searching for it again with no luck...
I have a HD2 bought last winter from an online retailer. I signed up with T-Mobile and it works pretty good.
BUT the internet speed is very slow. My visual voice mail also was not working and I dont remember where I got the CAB file for that.
They told me they cannot supply a Visual Voice Mail CAB file or APP. They also said that since my phone doesnt support the 1700-2100 3G frequencies, thats why I cant use the web while talking, and why my speed is slow.
Finally, my phoen itself has been slow and using batteries faster. I would like to flash a new ROM, but I cant seem to choose one.
So.... any advice for these issue would be appreciated. I would like to get my phone running fast again.
It sounds like the HD2 you have is not the T-Mobile USA version. That is the only one that supports 1700-2100 3G.
yea no matter what you flash, you wont get any 3g/hsdpa. Edge and gprs only.
my phone is not a tmou phone. i bought it from expansys when they first came out.
I guess it cant do 3g, but i would like to get a "better" rom, something a little faster. not totally stripped, i like many of the built-ins but just something faster. can anyone recommend a ROM i could try out?
also, some HD2's have 1g rom and mine has 512. do the 1g phones have w7 on them? is there any roms cooked with w7?
i might get the tmou HD2 if 3g is truly faster
the 1g version is the tmous. It is a different phone than all the rest (but only very slightly)
Hey guys,
Hoping someone can help me out.
I've been running Android on my TMOUS HD2 for about a month and a half now.
The whole time, I've been getting some lame internet speeds.
I average 250-500Kb/s at best. I've tried two different radios, and neither seems to help. I've been using VBNROM all along.
I decided to restore my phone to factory WinMO, no Android, and after running more speed tests, my speeds are exactly the same.
I've tried a few of the suggested tweaks like unchecking proxy and changing the T-Mo Internet to epc.tmobile.com. None of it helps.
I called t-mobile to make sure I was in a good area, and they said everything looks good on their end, and I should be getting much better speeds.
Can anyone offer any advice?
Hello
So for the past year or so I've been messing around with a lot of different roms and none of them have been perfect, I finally tried this rom which turned out to be pretty much perfect and very stable for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-qs-i9300-kk-t2755841
but with only downside, as it turns out the data connection really sucks, once upon a time my connection was something like 16-20 Mbps download speed, and now it's like 3-4 Mbps, at first I figured it was my carrier but I contacted them and they told me that they haven't changed the speed of my connection. So now I'm thinking it must be my ROM that's something wrong with, like the modem.
So my question is: what is the best modem/rom with the best data connection for the i9300? I live in Denmark with TDC as my network, and Telmore as my carrier, I don't know if that helps
Thank you all in advance!
