I can tether using PDAnet using the 4g and I guess its running ok. My speeds are 7.41Mbps download and .79Mbps upload (no idea what that really means). I try to tether so I can use Netflix but it says my server is too slow and the movies wont play????
Any help?

WTF are netflix requirements? I have the fastest AT&T DSL I can get in the area without getting professional level service (and associated fees) and only get 6mbps....when I get 4g it's always faster than that....and upstream has nothing to do with it (0.79mbps should be more than enough, essentially).....
....I've never used Netflix, I don't know...but....srsly? more than 7mbps required?
Ohhhh, Netflix puts content servers on most major ISP's...Sprint probably doesn't do this for obvious reasons....

I would think that is some sort of glitch/bug going on... 7.41Mbps is MORE than adequate to stream netflix, at least it should be.

That sucks. I got the 4g just so I can tether and use Netflix. I can use th 3g to tether the regular internet...
arghhhhh.
Okay so i have been looking around and found that we do have a lot of questions around Wi-Fi tethering being an issue...
- APN change fails after an hour or two
- Aftermarket tethers installed. and run but do not seem to be found by other devices
- Wifirouter.apk push from 1.36 showed no change (Connected but no internet connection)
So, what else have people tried that has things working for them or not working that we can note as a fail...
So far i've tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether ( I had to download from the web since it will not show in the market). Both start fine and say they are sharing wifi but my pc on win 7 will not see them. I can try use either on the vibrant and both work fine, my pic finds them. Any other ideas... I still have 10 days to exchange this phone. I really do not want to go to the SGS2 but if there's no way to tether without paying xtra for something i already get... im afraid i will have no choice....
Change apns work make anew one and name it anything and type in epc.tmobile.com

It was roughly that amount. I do not have an exact figure. I was forced to add the service.

I can't get wifi tether to work on stock at all. I use easytether with no upgrade pages etc. I know it's not wifi, but it works.
That apn method worked. I downloaded the whole quicksense rom with no interruption. Binary, not sure what issue you had but it worked for me fine... hopefully it will continue to work b/c I dont want to give up my Amaze.... it too nice!

Well I don't have an issue and never did. It always worked fine for me. What happened to me is that after a few hours of standard internet usage it started directing me to the upsell page no matter how many times I changed the APN or rebooted the device. But... perhaps it's market specific. I called T-Mobile b/c they were still throttling me after my new billing cycle and I asked them about it and they said that pretty much everything is market specific. That might explain a lot actually. Like I was telling Alexis, in the market where she is located I would never get throttled despite the fact that T-Mobile sent me a message stating that I was. I would still have a ~4mb/s DL speed on my vibrant 3g device. But here in Detroit I get throttled down to 130kb/s. UGH!
Don't feel bad, Binary 130kb/s is my average. I live in a 2G area with a 4G area ten miles up the road.

130kb/s makes me feel terrible when I'm accustomed to averaging 15mb/s.
Throttling down that much should be violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Roughly. I didn't measure it at all but it was standard internet activity. Nothing more. No downloading or anything like that. They sent me a warning at first by pushing a notice to my phone after a few hours saying that I would need to add the service if I wanted to continue using it. The icon was a globe with a "w" on it.
About 5 or 6 hours later I was directed to the upsell page. Despite how many times I rebooted, disconnected, changed my apn, etc I would have be forced to the upsell page. As soon as I added the $15 service I had tethering again. Instantly.
Ok, that is what im trying to figure out... what you did differently. No one else has had that same issue yet that i have heard of.
I flashed 1.3 quicksense today, changed by apn... Went to tether... This time i was able to connect my laptop to my phone, but right off i got the redirect notice...
After talking with binary last night, we got to thinking maybe its kernel based... I am working with boarder on getting the kernel he is running... As its not stock... His APN change fixed his tether completely, maybe the redirect bs is kernel based...
I came to the rezound from the incredible and had wifi tether on it too. I realize it works in infrastructure on the incredible and the rezound only works in ad hoc. But on the rezound it doesn't seem to work as well as my incredible did. And was just wondering if it was normal for this to be happening. Do any of you guys get on your laptop and it seems to hang up a lot when you try to load web pages? Sometimes it works fine for me and sometimes it just seems like it takes forever to load a web page. Or do i have some settings wrong on something?
The Rezound works perfectly fine in infrastructure mode. Mine is.
Running wifi tether v3.1-beta11 . And it's just as fast as my phone or better when tethered.

Thanks for the help. i did some snooping around and found out that apparently you must be running a custom rom for that to work. I was on stock rooted. Now on RezRom 1.2 and everything seems golden.
I am running stock rom and wireless tether is working fine for me...
yeah I need help with thiis as well, I can't seem to get any tether app to go infrastructure, I keep getting errors when trying a secured netsor and my ps3 can never find it when I try to connect. on my laptop is shows up as a group? Ido what its called, the icon is 3 monitors linked together. you can email me or something? cuz I've been searching and trying for 3 days. e mail is [email protected]. thanks in advance!

Dalvear...the GB kernel for this phone won't allow infrastructure do wifi tether. If you swap over to an ICS rom and kernel it will work. Simple as that.

You can have wireless tether on a custom GB ROM and kernel. I am on GB Ineffabilis and have had zero issues with wireless tether.

See post #2. Personally I have no idea what ad hoc is or how to do it, I just turned on wireless tether and it just worked. It shows up on my laptop's available wireless networks and I connect to it.
EDIT: I just turned off wireless tether on my phone and then my laptop had a message that said "waiting for users to connect to your ad hoc network", so mine is ad hoc. Why is that a bad thing? I googled it but didn't get a grasp of it.

I have not been able to set up any security but you can see what's connected on the phone and allow or disallow them from what I can see. When I enable encryption and set a passphrase I can't seem to get to the point of entering it to connect and now I can't see the network showing up at all.

Ad-Hoc connections typically cannot act like a wireless access point (ie. multiple devices connecting to your phone effectively). Also, a lot of devices can't connect to ad-hoc networks. Laptops and computers are generally just fine with it.

On ineffibilis and I can tether both my laptop and my ipad at the same time...running wireless tether. Been doing this since that rom came out.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Ad-hoc is a device to device network, aka connect your laptop to a friends laptop without having an access point. There are limitations to it, although the number of devices isn't one of them. Mainly I believe its security and speed (I think ad-hoc only connects at 11Mbps).
And like stated above, some devices can't connect, i.e. a PS3.

I know exactly what you mean. Like certain games can be downloaded, but require WiFi to download the game files, or how the stupid Amazon App store requires WiFi for apps over 20mb. so stupid when my 4g is faster then my home WiFi was. in any case I have researched this problem for months on end. NO SOLUTION exists.

Thanks for the reply sir
I have had my thunderbolt now for over a year, everything has been smooth until now. I have 3g and 4g according to my phone but the actual internet does not work. So I am assuming it is receiving no data. The only time internet works on my phone is when I am connected to wifi. Obviously this can be very annoying.

I am unsure of what radio I have, I think it could be the problem though.
Any thoughts?

You may well need a new Sim from Verizon if none of that helps.

I just updated to MR3 I think it was, and that actually seems like it might be doing the trick. I have data now, but I have only 1 bar when I think I normally would have full bars.

See how that does then I suppose.
Or you can try the newest radios if you want.
You may possibly be due for a new Sim card.
They tend to wear out after a while and sometimes a new one fixes these types of issues.
THESE ARE FROM THE LATEST OFFICIAL VERIZON OTA:

That link should be the all in one .zip.
If it wasn't, you'd have to do them separately.
Don't forget to rename them after flashing, so you don't have troubles booting to recovery later on.
So I click on the LTE link. And then once I flash it I am good? Sorry, just want to make sure, and not brick. Will remove once I am done, don't like to rename. Still scares me!

My pleasure.
Hopefully your reception gets better as well.
If it continues to show poor signal, do check with Verizon for a new Sim card.
Being rooted doesn't matter. They don't need to see the phone even.
But make sure they do activate it. Either then or over another phone.
Easier done at the store though.

If you have tried all the settings I suggested on the last page and also tried a new sim and still have issues,
it's either your phone, or Verizon to blame most likely.
So if you haven't tried adjusting your settings like I mentioned on the last page, try that.
Also, it's worth trying the ##778 modem tweak in THIS THREAD as well.

Is there anyway to do the modem tweak on a cm7 rom? ##778 just connects a call, I've installed the apk and same issue. Would it work if I just installed the stock dialer?
