Kind of a newb but managed to root and flash newest vanilla tazz to my htc eris. I noticed that it came with H connectivity instead of 3g. HSDPA. Seems to work faster for wifi tethering x box 360 than when i had just stock rooted on 3g. So i was wondering which rom for the eris has the best data connectivity or would be the best for tethering and gaming on a console.
Tethering and gaming on a console is a bad idea.
And no, different ROM's probably won't effect 3G data all that much... if anything they might do something wrong but most of them wil give you the same.
The only thing that effects 3G data is your ISP, your radio, and the reciever in your phone.
Bad ideah why?
Is it because of the speeds that you say its not a good ideah? Its really my only way to game and all i want to know is how to get the fastest tether. And yes switching from stock to vanilla tazz improved my connnectivity. 3g to hsdpa is a difference maybe not a big one but it helped alot. There is way less noticeable lag. if there are any other ways to help make my tether faster thats what im looking for. thanks for any help. and for the quick reply .

Don't let the data icon fool you... its still 3g no matter how you look at it. The reason for the H is because it was ported from the Hero. It doesn't change anything.

Well ever since I flashed the rom gaming got a little less laggy on tether my movie download went fromapprox. 20-30kbps to 60-max160kbps. And I even did internet speed test and got 1.5-2.5 Mb higher so there is definatly a difference consistsntly not just guessing. If anybody out there knows any other ways to faster tether plz help. Thanks for any help and quick rrplys

I have a lot of tethering experience as it was my only internet from August until just a couple weeks ago. Every time I thought I found a rhyme or reason why my tethering was working much, much better, things would change again and it would revert to the old, works, but is hard to rely on consistently for computer levels of data transfer.
Sorry I don't have any specific advice for you at this time. In general, I liked CM6's (and I assume CM7's, too) native tethering as it connected a lot faster than other solutions. For a while I got great tethering performance, too, and then it was only on weekends I would get great performance. Eventually it was hit or miss, with a lot of misses.
I hope your solution keeps working well for you!
Somebody must know a way...lol plz help

Ok Im pretty new to all this. I have a droid eris which i was easily able to root thanks to one click root. I have flashed the newest vanilla tazz, and noticed that my signal went from 3g to H i know what this means but wanted to know if any other roms have better data connectivity. I was thinking about flashing Eris lighting or Nonsensikal but the pics i see of them say 3g for data. is it really that big a difference. or is there a rom with the "best" data connectivity. basically i want to get the fastest wifi tether possible for gaming on x box 360 from my Htc eris.
Argh. Duplicate posts in multiple threads are going to make me go postal.
Srry thought I got rid of this one going to try again now
I flashed to:
2.2.1 T959UVKB1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Darky's V. 9.3 XWJS5 Extreme _Edition
using a Samsung T959 Vibrant Model Phone
Everything is running well, Awesome ROM, the only two issues I'm having is there seems to be no WIFI calling and I cant receive any text now!
I searched the threads for info on this and this was all I found was A response from a thread responder:quote "Sweet honey is the smoothest out of Bionix and Darkys. At least in my opinion only item not working on it is WIFI calling" unquote
Also need an answer or suggestion on the texting issue as well!
The reason I need the WIFI calling so bad is I live so far out in the country, That I cant get a strong enough signal from T-Mobile's nearest tower to receive or call out, and when I was running the stock Froyo 2.2.1 I was able to call using the WIFI calling with my Broadband connection at my house! And I need the texting for business correspondence as well!
If there anyway to correct this and still use Darkys ROM? And IF NOT! Then what other similar ROMS to Darky's have the WIFI calling, and with no text issues!
Dont want to go back to stock If its avoidable, otherwise if there are no ROMS or fix's then I obviously have no other choice but to go back to Stock Flavor again! Which would be very sad and disappointing!
It is my understanding that none of the 2.2.1 roms are capable of running WIFI calling as of yet. There are a lot of 2.2 roms out by EDT and TW that you can run WIFI calling on. I'm currently on Trigger 2.7.2 and used the bloater app to install WIFI calling and it works like a champ. I was also having some issues with texting as well on one or two of the 2.2.1 roms as well, but not all and couldn't track down the problem. Hope this helps!
So with the Trigger 2.7.2 are you up and running with the text and good telephony using a WIFI AP ??? With 0 defects???
And How is the GPS aquisition capabilities with trigger and what modem does it use?? I Need good GPS routing when I travel for work, just as important as the other agenda's!
If this ROM can provide all Ive asked, then it seems a winner to me, I havent seen any pic's of it though and was wondering if it looks good, also how is the speed with the kernnel it runs on??
I know alot of questions, but still trying to find the right flavor I can stay satisfied with, and stop tweaking for awhile! LOL!!
Anyways thank you for your time and effort. Appreciate YA!

Yep, the WIFI app from the bloater app works great, no problems with calls or texts. GPS also works great, outside get a lock usually 9/11 birds and with using the navigation app, or maps its usually spot on. GPS on the vibrant is never perfect. Trigger is KB1 base with KB1 voodoo kernel and KB1 modem. After flashing Overstock, using quadrant, which isn't an accurate benchmark but can be used for comparisons, it scored mid 1700 to low 1800. Stock kernel scored mid 1400 to low 1500. Keep in mind, all hardware is different and you may not get the same results, and whenever flashing anything, be sure you know how to odin back to stock and read the OP fully! Good luck and hopefully this helps you out!
Cheers!
Also, I do flash the s.gps fix that is posted in the development section.

Nope.
If you could, there won't be a need to differentiate between 3g n wifi version rom, wouldn't they?
i don't know. I thought, the only difference is 3G modul and SIM tray. I really don't need it, so there won't be a problem for me if 3G wouldn't work.
I thought for sure you could use most of the custom ROMs here. IDK for certain though. I do think you will lose 3G.
I'd wait for some more replies or ask in a ROM thread to get a quick answer. make sure to read the op before asking so nobody gets upset if it already is stated. Some days we tend to be more rude with answers that have been posted before and get asked again. and it's a Monday here.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
Yes. Actually I hace a ICS Rom of my GT-P7500 that detect 3G. I tried a Wifi Rom that I think is the GT-P7500 model and worked for me. This didn't detect my 3G network.

Yes you can, but you will lose your 3G connection. I've had wi-fi only ROMs on my 7500 before and they worked just fine.
ok, thank you for good news. At least i'm not afraid to flash different ROMs
You can flash ICS if you like, 3G was taken down on it for some fixes but I don't see the real big deal with 3G and Wifi models. Would be advisable to take a nandroid backup, just incase you get too excited
I'll give it a try for sure, but i'm tab owner for about week so first i want to live for a while with stock ROM so i can compare it then with ICS.

And by the way, you can have ICS and 3G too, just flash the 7500 ICS kang here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461240.
I'm using it and it works really well for me.
Is it really smooth? No lags? What about freezing? Is it faster than 3.1?

In my experience it's much smoother (especially noticeable if you use a live wallpaper and some widgets). Haven't got a freeze yet, everything worked just fine.
Only noticed a few problems:
Camera not working (I don't really use the tab to take pictures, but it's nice to have it for chatting)
When you click on the "recent apps" button, the screen flickers sometimes
Games don't run as good as they did on The Overcome Experience v2.2.0 - stuff like Angry Birds etc. works no problems, but I did notice more stuttering in Asphalt 6
I think that's everything that didn't work for me, otherwise it's been really nice . Other users might report some other problems though. Best bet - take a nandroid backup to make sure you don't break something, then flash it and see how it goes .
ok thanx for sharing xp. First i'll try Overcome and then ICS
One more thing: Do you have any xp with adaptors like Samsung port -> USB port or Samsung port -> SD card reader?
I have had my Thunderbolt for over a year now and have been flashing numerous ROM's/radios since. I have always had great success in each one and as time has passed, newer and better ROM's having been coming out. I currently have the Full Blown Thunderstick ROM which I have found to be the best and smoothest ROM to date. There is only one probem.
I have noticed a drastic difference in the speeds while using this ROM/radio compared to all the ones used prior. I have flashed this ROM and it's respective radio on my Thunderbolt and numerous others and I still have the same issues with all. Can someone tell me why I went from 15mb down/7 mb up speeds which I had prior to now 3-4 mb down/.5-1mb up speeds with this MR4 setup? Also, why won't the ROM let me use the Wireless Tether for Root Users in addition to the Wi-Fi Hotspot one it came with? When I try to run and connect to it from any laptop, it says it's unable to connect the network address although I have no problem connecting to the Wi-Fi Hotspot one. But sometimes with the Wi-Fi Hotspot the ROM came with, it drops connectivity. It feels like it's not using the 4G LTE speeds but only the 3G speeds only.
Just curious, did you search first? The answer for wifi tether has been posted atleast 100 times. I posted it as recently as 2 days ago. As far as speeds, speedtest.net does not work properly with that rom, your info is not correct.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA
Oh I read the whole thread and I didnt really see anything that answered these questions. Im not going with speedtest.net. Im judging it based on certain websites and web-based programs which are now slower since I installed the ROM.
Did you try Barnacle? I haven't used the ROM you have, I run Liquid.
Most people claim that Wireless Tether works great with Liquid, but I couldn't get it to work. Once I used Barnacle, it not only worked, but I've been getting great speeds with it.
You need to run Imoseyon's kernel to fix the speed issue. It's been widely documented and discussed in almost every MR4 rom thread.
I'vd had the lean kernel flashed since the beginning and still no change in speeds

I live about a mile from the nearest VZW LTE tower. I have a direct line of site to it from my back deck. I have the GNII and an iPhone 5 and my previous Android device was a GS3 (Verizon). Tethering with the GS3 was OK, and the iPhone is great, but with the Note its subpar at best. I have the $30 unlimited tethering package (No other High Speed internet options where I live). I have been experiencing data drops when tethering to the note and the speed is definitely lower and less reliable than when I am using the iPhone. I REALLY prefer using my note, does anyone know of any radio fixes or firmware to help correct the issues with GNII tethering? I can post screenshots if necessary, and I do understand that the GS3 used a Quallcomm chipset while the Note uses the Exynos radio, so I expected differences, just not this much. I also will note that using the Note while not tethering doesn't seem to be an issue at all. I can surf, view youtube in HD on the device etc without much buffering time at all, but when I tether it it will drop out several times in just a few minutes. Any info or opinions would be great. Many thanks guys.
I have the same problem from time to time. Keep in mind this phone just out and I'm sure we will get firmware update down the road. I had bluetooth pairing problems with my HTC phone at first when I got them.
If you restart your hotspot when it happens it might reduce the drop out problem. It works for me when I start getting that problem.
I swap back and forth between the official VZ hotspot and the TreE Mod wireless tether.
We use tethering for my ipad, my daughters ipod and a very fast PC laptop.
I find the TrevE mod is consistently faster than the VZ hot spot for some reason, but the reason I use both different methods is that I'm never sure which one will stay connected better on any given day.
One day, one will work better and the next day the other one will work better and I never know ahead of time which will be the right choice that day. I have unlimited data and don't pay to tether so I can't call VZ and ask. I don't really tether all that much or I would pay for it (I'm definitely NOT one of those DBs that uses 150 gigs a month with a free wireless tether and then brags about it) but I just live with the little quirks as I'm getting it free anyway.
I use TrevE mod and have a rock solid connection. I can stay connected for days at a time. Considerably faster than my Galaxy Nexus was.
I've downloaded a couple hundred gigs so far. It NEVER drops connection.
Scott's CleanRom FTW.
This phone has an awesome radio.

You know it's really funny that you mention this because I just got a killer deal on an iPhone 5 and my whole intent was to just flip it and make some $$ and that is exactly what I did! Anyways, I live right next to an LTE tower too and I found that the iPhone 5 sucked at data speed tests and tethering... In fact, the iPhone just SUCKS period!! You gotta be connected to wifi just to download an app over 50mb from the app store???? WTF?? I really didn't know just how lucky us Android folks are! :good: My post is not about bashing the iPhone or anything but I just thought I would chime in cause I had the exact opposite effect of what you are posting about...
BTW: Is it just me or does the iPhone 5 suck REALLY bad?? It was actually dropping frames in some heavy games that I was playing on it... I thought that Crapple was supposed to have the superior gpu? Guess NOT! Well at least I got to play with IOS for about 24 hours before it was sold on Ebay to some poor guy that thinks it's a great phone... Okay, maybe I did post in this thread just to flame.
I have the note 2 and clean rom 4.5 installed. Using stock tetherer I experience tons of dropped data. Anyone have a link to exactly what I need for travel mod? I've tried installing and turning on hot spot and it just doesn't turn on.

Which tool do you use to measure packet loss? I use the hotspot feature all the time at the gym (mostly for web browsing) with my tablet and have not noticed any issues (I am on cleanrom 4.5). Note that when it rains the signal usually drops to 3g in this location.
