Ok, here is my problem. Where I live I have absolutely no WiFi like anywhere near me... I tried last night going outside and the only connection I found was weak and extremely slow. I am saturated in 4G though... Which happens to be faster than WiFi... I have a few of the new gameloft games... But they require wifi... Is there a hack or mod or something to spoof it into thinking WiFi is connected so it'll accept the download over 4G? Please help

Okay weird issue! Wanted to connect my xbox 360 using my 3vo using but it won't connect to the internet...everything else works but my xbox wat the hello man...it connects fine using 3g tho...anybody else?

It may be unrelated, but since the last xbox update I've had some issues with connecting my xbox to wifi. It'll be the only device(like you with 4g) that won't connect fine. The only solution I've found is to reset my router and restore my network settings on my xbox.
You might want to try rebooting your phone or force stop your tethering app.
Although technically possible, I think this may be a bit ambitious. Even if it did connect, I doubt the performance will be good enough for smooth online play.

I haven't tried it with the 3d but I used to play COD black ops online with my Evo 4G. I was quite satisfied with the performance over 4G. I never tried it over 3G so I can't comment on that.
Ive played cod with 3g and it was smooth. My 3g speeds are only .5mbs down too.

I've tried it using netflix which always showed HD quality and it plays really well playing crysis 2 online so I'm pretty satisfied with it...and it was weird, as I was testing the connection, it said cuoldnt connect to internet...but when I signed on it was working perfectly...WiFi tether showed everything working fine...but web test it always fails...I'm confused btw what's mms clamping?

my tethering seems very unreliable. im using the latest wifi tether apk but thats irelevant as i have used many versions but the problems persist. allow me to explain, im in no way new to android nor tethering. i have followed all the steps to get 4g tethering speeds ( toggle data off, disable 4g re enable and so on) the thing is i cant get a stable connection from my laptop or my xoom for more than 20 mins. the connection either goes idle or the phone just restarts or i simply get disconnected from it. im just wondering whether it' s just me or whether this a common problem among photon users. many thanks and great forum.

I believe the 4G on your phone becomes idle. Just a guess.
I have heard this happens to other Photon users as well. Not sure what the cause of it is or the fix. I'm going to try some things out when I get time and see what mine does. I've never tried to tether for that long of time before. Will post back if I find out anything new.
**I can only test 3G. No 4G in my area.
Are you rooted or using a rom?
**Ignore this (my) post...had something but changed my mind***
thanks. yes rooted & stock

i can torrent nd get bout 10+ mbps download running through tether for 3 hours no problem. could even get on gears of war on my xbox while tethering no lag no problem
favorite tethering app- open garden tethering (easy and you can lower the transmit power for huge battery life increase, i keep mine on the lowest available) but wifi tether if i need specific settings

thanks for your reply. im so jealous lol i do also get very fast speeds the only prob is that is they are not consistent. phone either reboots or drops the connections. i will try the app you mentioned also

maybe think about visiting the store you bought it from or a sprint repair store..? ive never had problems with tethering even being rooted on my htc hero tethering was easy as pie at 2-3mps(3G) or rsdlite the latest spf maybe?

I normally don't report on apps, but this one I have to because it is awesome.
In addition to my new Photon I also have a Sony S tablet and been looking at WiFi tethering, but disappointed at the cost from Sprint.
In doing my research I found this app that allows free WiFi Tethering.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en
I immediately downloaded the app and it works easily and perfectly.
"This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Gonna give this a try, thanks
edit: this item is not available on your carrier :\

this app rocks!!
Thank you so much for sharing this information! I'm using it right now! My tablets were fine using bluetooth connection but when on the road having to use the usb tether (easytether) for my laptop was such a nuisance.
I tried a another workaround discussed on youtube and it worked for the initial connection but would not connect again, registration blocked. I've had foxfi going for about two hours now, turned it off and on six times and its perfect!
Thanks again!!
Is anyone getting this to work with 4g? Whenever I turn on Foxfi, 4g disconnects and switches over to 3g.

No problem. I love things that save a few bucks.
The only downside is that your phone is gonna drain it's battery a lot faster than normal.

I've seen this when using an iffy internet connection. The screen shot shows you on the EDGE network, so I'd imagine that's the issue. Connect to a solid wifi network and see if that fixes the problem.

Ah! So you are... so you are. Then you, like me, may be looking for a new internet provider soon. Or perhaps the wifi you're on is having issues.
During my testing so far, I have only seen this on my (somewhat shoddy) wifi connection, and not on the much better LTE connection. That said, it also could be the HTC server is experiencing difficulties.
Assuming the issue is intermittent, it is almost certainly a problem with the network or the service, not your phone, and there's nothing much you can do about it on the phone itself.

Ever since updating to 4.3/Sense 5 (Cap's ROM) the Play Store has been incredibly slow downloading over mobile. Wifi seems normal as does mobile speed for other data. Anybody else seeing this?

Running Cap's 4.3 as well and haven't had that problem fyi. I do have extremely slow areas of "4g" in general. I think its just Sprint's poor network.
It must have been a network thing. Working better tonight for sure.
