I have found many roms that 4g tether works on, but the speeds are not very fast. Clearwire has a 4g tower in my small town and I can get nearly 10Mb down, but can only get about 2 to 3 down with tether. Any rom suggestions would be great.
thanks

So this may be a little off topic but I just switched from Tmobile to Sprint a few days ago so I can get the Evo 3d when it gets released so I've been using the Nexus 4g in the mean time, anyways there's no 4g coverage in my area so I'm on 3g most of the time and the speeds are really slow maybe an average of 600kbps but today I noticed I was stock on 1x during most of the day! as I was browsing the internet I noticed the pages were loading surprisingly fast so I ran several speed tests and I was getting around 2 megs down everytime!! how is this possible? I thought 3g was faster than 1x, any thoughts?
It makes absolutely no sense. 1x should be nowhere near those speeds.
i agree! that's why I thought that was really strange I was bumped down that my 3g came back on , I'm actually trying to figure out how to disable 3g on my phone right now! I read somewhere that sprint is testing 1x advance technology but I don't know if that's the case, oh well it was good while it lasted!
Might be 1x advanced like u say

Seems to be happening a lot with Hotspot + 4G on any rom I've used.
If I try and use 4G while on hotspot, it could work for a hour like it did this morning now 4G only works on the phone itself.
Now 3G on hotspot works perfect currently but kinda redundant when I wanna use the 4G feature, thus why I got the Thunderbolt.
Anyone else ever encounter issues with the Hotspot feature? Seems a lot of people do even if they are paying for it and not paying for it.
I am running Nons3ns3 on my TBolt Hotspot is real slow. I am in a 4g area and my phone shows 4g, but my download speeds are 1-2 mbps tops and it fluctuates. It just seems something is up.
I have tried Open Garden and Barnacle, both work about the same in terms of slow speeds.
Im getting the same exact results across 4 different ROMS I've flashed since I've had this phone. I'm on TheROM fyi.
I'm in the Chicago area on base and its good, but bloody hell Verizon doesn't have LTE top notch and I'm grandfathered in for the Unlimited plan still before they switched
I use wireless tether on my sense based custom rom and lately I've been doing a lot of tethering, when I'm in a fixed place like my hotel last week, I got great speeds 6-10 mbps on LTE, but if I'm moving, say pn a bus like I am now or the the backset of a taxi, speeds drop drastically whether on a 4G or 3G connection I get approximately 200 - 400 kbps, I understand that speeds while moving with a mobile broadband connection will be slower, but I'm interested in what speeds others get and their rom / tether app used. 400kbps just seems excessively slow for 4G even though I'm moving.
It may be the tethering app just did a test on 4G and got 9.5 down and 3 up, interested in others experiences
[update]
already solved, took my laptop out of power saving mode and I got 16 down and 4 up, it must be a setting in power managerment / wifi settings
Never use tethering but when I take the bus to school I don't lose any 4gspeed or even go to 3g it stays in 4G, but I think my city has good 4G coverage

How is the photons 4g speeds while tethering with custom ROM?

>2Mbps on 3G.
I was upstate NY last week (no 4g!) and was getting over 2Mbps! Very good speeds. I got the same 3G speeds in NYC.
In Los Angeles (where I live) I get 200Kbps. Terrible IMO.
I never bother with 4G because of the battery drain and sparse coverage. Plus I am usually in buildings where there is WiFi.
~3.5Mbps in Harrisburg PA
Speeds here are decent and excellent when compared to the hotel wireless network which crawls!

Guys, if anyone is still having issues with WIFI tether app, the following setup works for me: using 3.1 beta 11, device profile "Google Nexus," Setup method "Netd (master)." Wait at least 10 seconds after start tethering before connecting any of your devices.
Hello I have a tunderbolt running Thunderstick fullblown 1.1.0.. My 4g on the phone will not break 2mbps. I was standing next to my friend with an unrooted thunderbolt and he was getting 13mbps..
I pulled my battery and 4g card to try to reset, cleared cache and cookies and same..
Then I turned on the wifi hotspot on my thunderbolt and connected my laptop and got 15mbps but my phone will stuggle to get 2mbps.. A lot of times switching to 3g on my thunderbolt is faster then 4g.. It is not a signal issue as my laptop connected through the phone is very fast.. I range from -69dBm to -85dBm depending where I am.. I am in NJ near NYC and the 4g is very good here, when I use to be near the hospital that has a tower next to it I was almost always seeing 40-50 mbps, now struggle to get to 2mbps..
Please HELP!
How are you testing the speed on your phone.

I am using the app from speedtest.net..
I discovered that it looks to be the rom I am using.. I backed up my set up and then loaded my last rom that I backed up just before changing roms and using my old rom which was the Thunderstick 3d and my 4g speeds over the phone are fast again, the bad thing is the thunderstick 3d rom wifi hot spot feature did not work at all... So I went back to Thunderstick fullblown 1.1.0 for now since the wifi hotspot works good.. I will have to look into a new rom that has good 4g phone speed and good wifi hotspot speed..

Actually, its the app. It does not work with rom properly. If you think about it, why would it be different on pc using wifi tether than it is on your phone? The pc probably had the accurate reading, the phone has the same speed, just doesnt read proprtly.
