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?

Hi all, I've been playing Order & Chaos a bit and love the game but am disappointed that I have to play over a Wifi connection. I've tried the trick of turning on wifi but not connecting it and it doesn't work for me. I'm curious if anyone else with a Vibrant has been able to play over 3G. Also I'm wondering if anyone has thought about developing an app similar to the 3G unrestrictor that the Iphone has that allows them to play over 3G. I'm on MiUi ReVaMpEd 3.1
Bumpity Bump ;]
I play this as well and always been wondering the same thing

There are other devices out there that are able to trick the game into thinking that the phone is connected to wifi by turning wifi on and just letting it scan but not let it connect. I have tried this trick on a couple different ROMs and I'm starting to think that it's not the ROM but the phone itself. I just flashed CM7.1 so I will give that a try later today and report back.
An app to fake wifi would be really useful,

Ya, that would be awesome.
I tried with CM7.1 but still a no go. My buddy has an HTC Inspire 4G running CM7 and he can play straight from the network without having to even turn on his wifi. I'm thinking that it either has something to do with 4G connection or the Vibrant in specific. Maybe if there was a way to fool apps into thinking it was connecting at 4G or thinking that it was a different phone, the Inspire for instance.
There are a lot of games that are requiring wifi download only these days and a way to trick them, in addition to being able to play really cool games like Order & Chaos, would be really great.
Yeah its the 4G, you can also play gameloft games online using 4g, it seems like nobody cares about the few who don't have wifi.

Check your APN.
I had the same problem except I am using CM7. I was about to give up, then I checked my APN.
I noticed my phone had 2 APNs:
1. Simple <--this one was checked.
2. T-Mobile US
I decided to change the APN to T-Mobile, and the game worked over 3g. Finally!!
Good luck!

Ok heres the deal, at the moment i have a xbox elite. My friend wants to trade his xbox slim for it. At the moment i dont have internet so i cant connect to live. Im thinking since the slim has wifi i could wireless tether my phone to it. Has anyone been able to do it successfully?

i have done it almost everyday. the speed might not be enough for online gaming. but i would always stream hulu and netflix using wireless tether.
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.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
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

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

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 will try it :good:
I have no 4g so don't care about it :laugh:

D'oh!
Believe it or not, Xbox Live does not use a lot of data over our 4G LTE connections.
About 10 games of MW3, some youtube videos, and a few network tests over my 4G on the Xbox only got me 262MB download and 16MB upload.
Anyway, the wifi in my house works real well, and I don't need my LTE for my XBL but LTE is even better than my wifi so I'm thinking I'd see some performance improvement for matchmaking.
However, the NAT is always moderate and I do suffer from higher than average ping,
I know the fixes for routers, etc, but is there a similar option to open ports and such on the wifi tether app to open my NAT?
Thanks.
Been using mobile hotspot for ps3 cod for a while now. No problems at all, other than the high pings and moderate . So would like to know too.
Very interested in finding a answer for this as well. If anyone wants to play mw3 my gamertag is xturbom3x

I luck out sometimes but I've never seen lower than 70 ping on LTE where I live.
Love my 25 ping at home though.

i haven't tried with xbl as both of my 360's are rr'd. i have used it on my gaming netbook however and find it works rather well most of the time.
The only thing I've seen as a solution is here, post 8. It uses barnacle, which I don't even know if that works with the Rezound.

If I had better service at my house I would use LTE, my wifi at home just comes and goes as it pleases.
But, my PS3 does pretty good with my hone wifi anyway. I even end up being host on mw3 sometimes.

I used to see low pings on lte, less than 80 all the time but in the last 6 months, its consistently low 100's here in san antonio.
Considering my home wifi is 5-15ms ping, I'll stick to that. (TWC Wideband)
What app are you all using to tether?
The Wifi Tether app that's included in most ROMs now.
I can't get it to work. Done everything that Scott said and it just doesn't work. But Bluetooth works.
I like to use my phone for gaming tethering. I can play minecraft and tekkit flawlessly. That is not much to say though. I can play leaduebof legends with minimal lag. I can play starcraft 2 with minimal lag. I can play garrys mod with little lag but some lag spikes and lastly I can play bf3 with medium lag. Low. Lag is 40 ping. Medium lag is 80-120. Overall I think that the rezound is more than powerful enough to play most online games.

Very reliable but turns phone into a microwave.

I know how the wifi tether app works, most of us do, we're looking for a way to tether to XbL without a moderate or strict NAT, basically opening ports.

Did anybody try my link to a solution via Barnacle I posted earlier in the thread? Worth a shot...
