does sprint hotspot work in 4g or just 3g.........????
not sure why but it actually seems faster than Wifi with 4g.
any thoughts?????
Did you search for this question first? Just curious........
And to answer your question, yes and no. For some odd reason I can 4g with the hotspot, but other's can't.
With WiFi tether, however, you can do both.

Yes, I've done the routing fix. WiFi Tether functions, it just doesn't function well. I seem to be topping out at 20KBps with 4G, which is obviously pretty bad. And a bummer, too, since I was so looking forward to ditching EasyTether (crashes all the time, doesn't handle loss of 4G well). Anyone else had some problems here, or better yet, found a solution?
Using viperROM at the moment, for reference.
Yes!
Can't get the stock hotspot app to work either. My laptop connects fine but no data?
SteelROM_v1.01
Don't you have to have something in your plan to use the stock hotspot app? I've never tried.
I can't get Wifi Tether to work at all.
But Sprint Hot Spot works fine. With a Hot Spot Enabled ROM of course.
Yeah, same here. WiFi Tether doesn't work at all, fails on the starting wifi interface.
HotSpot worked fine in an enabled ROM
Branacle works great for me.

What kind of speeds you getting?
And what ROM?
Ugh. Unlocked hotspot app is even less functional. Stupid thing prevents my 4G from connecting, same as USB tether does on Sense. So aggravating. This is the entire reason I rooted to begin with, and there's no workaround
I know there have been posts in regard to this issue.
Wireless tether -- no go
Wifi Tether -- 4g only
Native Hotspot -- 3g only
The only Native Hotspot that I have ever gotten to work is with the Sprint Lovers ROM on the OG evo on Froyo only. I have tried the new SL ROM on GB and only 3g works. After reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172576 I may now know why 4g on Native doesnt work on the the 3d or OG evo. Was wondering if someone could incorporate the SL ROM "Wireless Hotspot" to the 3d and possibly the OG evo.
Thx

That's the WiFi tether from the market, search "WiFi tether"

Wifi tether - only one that works for 4g, but gives me 3g speeds to the connected computer.. anyone experiencing similar issues?
I dont know if this will help ya but i use Barnacle...it does 3g and 4g and works great.
Barnacle is fine, however, it doesnt switch between 3g and 4g unless u manually adjust the software. I drive a cab for a living, so when i drive in and out of 4g, Barnacle doesnt switch like "wireless tether" for the OG evo or the "wireless hotspot" for the EVO on Sprint Lovers Rom 3.70 Froyo.

Roms
I've found that Virusrom successfully unlocked the built in wireless and wired tethering abilities. I haven't tested the 4g with it though.
I tried synergy nightly and also Virusrom with the wireless tether app, neither of them seem to work, only the sprint hotspot.
Has anyone found any other roms that have unlocked the build in tethering services?

ViperRom works with the native Sprint Hotspot app. Best rom out there too for stability and battery life IMO.

Sprint unlock only works from my Understanding...3G
On my phone I get 15-20mbps on speak easy speed test
When I use googles android wifi tether or the verizon app I get 1mbps down
What gives? It seems lie the tether app is using 3g instead of 4g
I have tried wifi tether and the hotspot app and both have the same issue
I also searched and others are having the same problems but no solutions posted.
Anyone get wifi tether to use the 4g instead of the 3g? please post how
Yea same here.I've searched the Net looking for an answer but no luck.I even tried flashing different radios but no luck either...
I did that there's a WiFi tether beta but who knows how long before they get it working with 4g, not to mention make it compatible with every phone and network out there.

heh. i go to the library often and will occasionally want to play Left 4 Dead online. problem is, the library's wifi is super slow and regularly disconnects.... so i will use pdanet to my laptop. theres no 4g in my area but at least the 3g is stable enough to keep me connected and my ping averages 200 - 300. sometimes itll jump as high as 700(which really sucks) but im at least surprised that the 3g can even do that.
So nobody has figured out why tethering only uses 3g instead of 4g????
Just figured I'd let you know that I let a guy tether his iPhone (just to show him LTE) to my Tbolt recently and he got 12dn/3up using the built-in tethering hotspot in CM7 (he ran the Speedtest.net app on his iPhone).

It's not a universal problem. It sounds like a "just you" problem and maybe a few others. LTE works fine for me and I get 1.5-2 Megabytes per second on it with CM7.

Well, it's not "just you". My phone won't USB tether if I have "LTE" radio selected. If I just select EVDO, then it will tether. Running OMGB.

Not everyone is having the problem. Seems to only be a handful of people.
I'd say if you're running cm7 and you messed with the radio settings other than just using the toggle for 3g and lte/3g auto, that is why your tethering is not working. Don't mess with those and dont force it to LTE only.
Anyone ever figure this out?
I'm running stock rooted Galaxy Nexus and I'm having the same problem. No matter what method I use to tether it seems that the tether switches to the 3g radio after a few seconds of turning it on.
I know this is a TB thread, but I have the same problem so it must not be a TB issue...
Everyone posting is running aosp roms, could that be the issue? On shiftsense i get 10-15 down with pings around 100. I also use the wifi tether fix i posted in the general threads. Ive flashed the newest radios, but never change the settings for lte/cdma.

I want to add another data point. I can tether to my android device and get about the same speeds I get on the phone. However, when I tether to a windows machine the speed is extremely slow <1mbps u/d. The only way to get better speeds on the PC is to run filterproxy on the phone. It's still about 35-50% of the bandwidth of the phone but a little better. Could this be related to like a MTU size on the PC or something timing out when being routed from the PC through the phone?

I use Wireless Tether for Root Users on my TB, and I get about 10-15Mbps down, but only around 0.5Mbps upload.
Has anyone tried to use verizons' mobile hotspot with this yet? Every time I have tested it out it reduces the signal from 4G to 3G and never returns to 4G until I deactivate the hotspot. Anyone know if this is a design in the phone or maybe something I am doing wrong?
I'm new to verizon like as of two days ago and Ive been with sprint. Does verizon make you pay an extra fee to use the tethering service like sprint because i can turn on the hotspot and connect to it and its says its using 3G but i dont get any internet service to my tablet.
To keep things relevent:

The way I understand it is if you can access the service then it is part of your plan. Which is nice so you dont accidentally use it and get charged a boat load. I just moved to a share everything plan and was told by a rep that mobile hotspot comes included, which seems to be true since I am able to use is, even if only on 3G.
At the same time, I am able to use the mobile hotspot through a Rezound on the same plan with 4G all day long. That is why I am curious if it is the phone limiting my connectivity while using hotspot.
I am currently testing the mobile hotspot as I am writing you. I figured I would try it out since I've not used it as of yet on my new DNA. 4G is working and intact. No downgrade to 3G, and everything is speedy as expected. I would check your signal strength or other possible issues you may have with reception, as if I understand things correctly, a 4G connection will degrade to 3G in bad connection areas. Maybe your signal strength isn't acceptable? Just a thought. Maybe someone here has a better understanding of the underlying operations of what your particular issue could be. Good luck...

I guess I figured out what my problem was. I just restarted my phone and tested again and it works perfectly. I dont know what its malfunction was but its all good now.
I using unlocked sprint m9 with bad boyz in metropcs. i get full lte speed but i can't tether from it. I used built in hotspot option but it says that only 1 device can be used while roaming. To add more, I dont actually see the ssid on the laptop or other phone.
I tired wifitetherrouter from playstore but even that dont work with the settings in their hompage..
Anyone with unlocked sprint m9 able to wifi tether?

I just did a quick search of metropcs, and they are owned by T-Mobile and use their network which might be why it doesn't work for you unless roaming. Tether works fine on sprints network.
