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.

I have found that PPTP vpn does not work for me ONLY over AT&T on the JS.
If i turn on mobile hot spot on my infuse and wifi connect the JS through the infuse on the same network it works fine.
Can some one else test the JS PPTP connectivity (preferably with encryption)
Im currious to see if its the gateway they are pushing LTE devices through?
spent hours on the phone with at&t
this is a problem with the 4g LTE, APN called "broadband". All new 4g LTE enabled devices will now use this.
this network is behind NAT causing the issue.
At&t pretty much told me to pound sand and get a different device that uses a different APN (ie ipad). They were not going to even open a ticket for it.

Not sure what they mean, but I can connect to my office via VPN over 4g without issues. I use remote desktop on my Jetstream frequently and never had an issue. The first time i set it up was a bit of a hassle, but once I set the correct security settings it's been working ok, however I live in an area where the LTE is not available...that might be the difference. Mine is 24/7 on HSPA+ with about 6mbps down and 2.5 - 3.5mbps up.
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.
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.

What do you have set up under Settings, More... Mobile Networks, Preferred Network Type? Should be LTE.

I set it to LTE/CDMA/EVDO. but still the same no working 3g or late. And idk if this has anything to do with it but when I got the phone they told me that the radio was flashed to work better on at&t so idk if that affects my Verizon network

Not sure what they meant by that, there's no AT&T specific radio. You may want to wipe the phone clean and start over on it.

Cyonagenmod has a free tether and WiFi spot enabled right in the rom. I am running cm11 m10. I use metro pcs which puts a 5gb limit on data in order to get the WiFi hotspot. But, I have the unlimited 4g lte plan AND hotspot. Thank you cyanogenmod!!!!
