Slow tethering (T-mobile) In NEED of an alternative tethering app

My speeds are horribly slow on my 6p. I had a 5x and the speeds were blazing, moved my sim to my honor 5x, still fast and then I get my 6p and the speeds are so slow. Like clicking google links and taking minutes slow. I'm in need of a third-party app solution or a fix for this if anyone else has had this problem

Wifi tethering not working

So i flashed the latest pure nexus rom, since my tethering wont work, they told me to do a clean install on the phone since i did a dirty, still i factory reset the phone, and installed everything clean and no luck.

Issue is that on the computer it connects to the network, but it appears to not have any connectivity, its just displays in the browser no internet connection, on the tablet, it never finds an IP address, the tether network does appear, it just that is seems as it connects but does not transmit any data.

I contacted tmobile and they told me all my share gigs are intact and they have not blocked my tethering features.

What could be wrong??

Tethering to Kindle Fire from Samsung Note 4

I recently bought a kindle fire for my kid. We currently do not have a home isp. So I figure turn on the hotspot on my Samsung Note 4 share it's Internet connection to download some apps and games for him. Trying to figure out why downloading apps from the kindle is so slow when using my phone as a Hotspot. It's not even bearable. (0.05kbs) I also can tell that Web surfing, and downloading files are just as slow. Whats strange is that I can play videos fine without any buffer problems. A speed test app says I'm getting over 15mbs. While a speed test on Google Chrome says 0.05 kbs. Any helpful info would be helpful! Thank you.

Wifi Hotspot - Tethering

>Has anyone with a full service (not freedompop) sim tried the hotspot? I've turned off data on my Ting sim so I can't test it myself.

>Just tried it tonight. I have a postpaid AT&T account. Worked quite well.

I went ahead and enabled data and tethering for my Ting sim.

Ting's FAQs suggest that tethering cannot be used with LTE data, but I had no problem. Ting with LTE connection showed the same speed on the R1 HD and the wifi connected device, at the time, about 20 Mbps up and down.

Current Cricket customer, want to switch to MetroPCS unlimited data plan tethering?

I'm currently with Cricket Wireless. MetroPCS is advertising great speeds and with their unlimited plan, I was thinking about tethering my phone to my PC and using it's data plan and speeds for my PC. This way, it's cheaper than getting new Internet Service and I get to use my phone as well. Is it truly unlimited data and is there any limitations when it comes to tethering to PC? Do I need an add-on pack for that? Is it easy to do with any phone or would a certain phone be easier? I haven't purchased a phone yet so I will need to know which is best and if it will work! Thanks guys.

root Xperia Arc S enable reverse tethering + wifi hotspot that uses it in 10 minutes

How to root Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S and enable reverse tethering + wifi hotspot that uses the reverse tethering in 10 minutes:
I just learned how to do it
took me about 5 hours to learn and succeed, thought I might share it in case someone else might want to try in the future:

guide is only for windows machine, but you can use the sources to do the same with Linux or a Mac
It only requires a few tweaks to drivers installation and terminal code.
Also it might work with other Xperia devices but I can't promise it will, you might want to check sources for in depth look.

Sources:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxF4O5E2RiY&index=10 - how to root Xperia Arc S video
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Androi...s/td-p/287857- how to root Xperia Arc S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2287494 - how to enable reverse tethering
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1882852 - how to get your wifi hotspot to share reverse tethering
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2635830 - drivers in case you need them


1) root your device:
in phone:
settings -> applications -> enable "unknown sources"
settings -> applications -> development -> enable USB debugging"
settings -> Sony Ericsson -> connectivity -> USB connection mode -> set to "mass storage mode (MSC) -> OK

Connect your device to windows
Windows should automatically install the required drivers

If in some case it does not, or if you have problems rooting your device
Just install the drivers from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2635830
If the link is broken in the future I uploaded it to tinyupload:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...73727411836001
Just install the driver that you need
Xperia Arc S actually is actually not listed there, I just installed all the ones that have "s" and "arc" in them
It takes a bit of space so try to not just install all of them

Download the rooting software from
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5r.../Eroot_1.2.exe
Once it downloads activate it
A green windows written in Japanese should pop up
You don't need to understand a bit of what it says
If you see a big green button that says "ROOT" then all is good
If you don't it means some of the steps above were not done correctly
Either you didn't change your phone settings or you don't have the necessary drivers

Press the big green button that says "ROOT"
it should show you a list of 4 things
The 3 first things will change to a V sigh rather quickly
The 4th thing should take a little bit more

Once it's finished you should see a different big green button that says "*SomethingInJapnese*ROOT"
DO NOT PRESS IT
Just exit the program

If you pressed it you need to close the program from the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc in windows 10, ctrl+alt+delete in older windows)

now you phone is rooted :)

2)enable connection sharing in your computer
Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
If for some reason it doesn't find the path
Press Start+R, write "ncpa.cpl" (without the quotation marks) and press enter

This is taken from the "how to enable reverse tethering" guide I linked in above, it explains it nicely:
right click on an Internet connection that you have.
I assume that you are using a desktop which doesn't have any wifi adapter, so right click on LAN Ethernet connection with Internet, and select "Properties".
in tab "Sharing" (or "Advanced" for Windows XP), click "Allow other network users to connect through...", then select the USB connection in dropdown list below.
click OK. Windows will automatically setup your USB network connection and assign to it an IP address, default for Windows 7: 192.168.137.1, default for Windows XP: 192.168.0.1.
You can see your Internet connection is now "Shared" and your USB connection is now "Unidentified network".

In case you don't see a dropdown list (like me)
press settings (in the "Sharing" tab) and it will be there
I actually didn't see "USB connection" as an option so I just marked "FTP Server" and "HTTP Server" and it worked for me

Once you press OK it should take some time for your machines to set things up so don't panic if it loads for a minute or so

3)install terminal emulator on your phone
You have 2 options here

1) register your phone with a fake gmail account, download the playstore app (from the market app) and download what you need
it didn't work for me, for some reason even after I registered it said that my account is not connected even though it certainly was
If you want to risk it you may try but for me it was just a waste of time

2) download the apk for the app and install it using the phone built in package installer.

Using your phone browser, go to
https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

IF IT POPS UP A REQUEST TO CONTINUE OR CANCEL ALWAYS PRESS CANCEL
it just tries to redirect you to an advertising site, it won't affect your download if you press cancel

copy and paste the link from the Google play store site of the app you want to install
In this case the link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=en

press "Generate Download Link", I should load a bit and then open a new green button that says "Click here to Download"
(if you don't see it scroll down)
press it and it should start the download.
You can open the file directly by opening the notification bar and pressing on the file that was just download
(notification bar like a drop down curtain, just slide your finger from the top of the screen downwards)
select "Package installer" as the app to open it with and it should install it quickly.

Also for later if you don't have one already installed, install some kind of note app
I just installed this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...sy.notes&hl=en

4)
connect your device to your computer
In your phone go to
settings -> wireless&networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> enable USB tethering
Wait for it to connect, once it does you can move on

Go to your terminal emulator, write "su" (without the quotation marks) and press enter
What it does is asks the phone to give you "Super User" permissions to change your phone built in settings
Give the app permission to do so.
The sign in the terminal emulator should change from $ to # to indicate that you have Super User permissions

Next, copy those lines to the terminal emulator and press enter
(you might want to save them in your note app before, I'll explain why in a bit)


netcfg usb0 dhcp

ifconfig usb0 192.168.137.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

route add default gw 192.168.137.1 dev usb0

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

iptables -t nat -F

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o usb0 -j MASQUERADE

iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT


first 3 lines - for reverse tethering
Next 4 lines - for wifi hotspot reverse tethering sharing

couple of notes:
1)if it prints something like "iptables failed strangely: No such file or directory"
just ignore it, it works anyway

2)if you get an error relating to "dhcp" - make sure you enabled "USB tethering" in your device, and that you enabled connection sharing in your computer.

3) if for some reason you have other errors, try replacing "usb0" with "rndis0" in lines 1,2 and 3
not sure if you also need to change the "usb0" in line 6, but if it still gives you an error I didn't describe try chaging that too.

if you did get any errors just copy and paste the code (with the needed changes if any are needed) to the terminal emulator again
remember to do so only in su mode! (# instead of $)
also, save the final version (the version that worked for you) of the code lines in the note app you installed (step 5 explains why)

everything should now work perfectly
reverse tethering should work
and if you want to enable wifi hot spot just go to
settings -> wireless&networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> enable Portable WI-Fi hotspot

5)
for me the reverse tethering and wifi hotspot sharing stops working after I reboot the phone
In such a case just
1)connect your phone to your computer
2)in phone: settings -> wireless&networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> enable USB tethering
3)go to terminal emulator
4)go to Super User mode (write su and press enter)
3)copy and paste the code you saved from the note app to the terminal emulator and press enter

and it should work again

if you want to connect your phone to another computer, to the exact same steps but remember to enable connection sharing in your computer before!

hope this little guide helped you :)

[APP] Easy Tethering Enabler

Hi, I just created a simple app which makes it easy (one click) to enable tethering by adding the line "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to build.prop if it's not already there. If it is already there, you get the green light and it won't make any changes. It also backs up your current build.prop file to /sdcard/buildproptest/build.prop

I don't know how far back this works, I think this method started working in Lollipop but don't quote me on it.

I don't make any guarantees, so please don't be mad if something doesn't work for you.

I appreciate any feedback and problems/issues you run into.

If you want the source code just ask. I'll be uploading everything to Github soon.

Thanks!

How do I get unlimited tethering on my LG k10?

I have a LG k10 on metro with the unlimited data plan and was wondering if someone could walk me through the steps on how to get unlimited tethering, specifically for an xbox. I am a layman whenever it comes to all this so if you could give me babysteps that would be great. I have tried looking it up but i cant understand what
is going on half the time lol. I would rather not root if i dont have to but if i do thats ok. Thanks in advance for any help.

Unlimited hotspot tethering on sprint samsung galaxy s7

A alternate way of unlocking your hotspot on your galaxys7 without the need of root:good:

You are going to need the MSL code for you phone
Which can be obtained by calling customer service and asking them (this is the way i did it) or just go to you nearest sprint shop and ask them for the code.
(If they ask why you want the code, just say its for your personal info or interest)
Once you have your code, go to your phone dialer and dial the following: ##3282#
Than you will prompted to write your MSL code
After typing your code, you will be presented to a menu, on that menu you are going to search for "APN SETTINGS" than you are going to search for APN2 EHRPD Internet APN2 LTE internet, and on both you are going to search for the following: "default,mms"
And once you found the "default,mms", you are going to edit it to : default,mms,dun (just add: ",dun" at the end).
Once you have finished editing, just reboot your phone
And you just unlocked unlimited hotspot and tethering:cool:

Tethering on CM/AOSP vs Sense roms

Has anyone ever noticed a difference in tethering performance of CM or Sense ROMs. On some cm ROMs my tethering connection from phone to laptop seems to fly. However, on some other cm ROMs the tethering seems to lag. I haven't been on a sense ROM in ages. I live in a place that only offers satellite internet, so I tether my high speed data from my phone to watch Netflix. I'm on an unlimited cricket data plan.

Best tethering SmartWatch (any price). (chinese manufacturers)

Hi, as the title says, which do you consider to be the best tethering smartwatch on the market today?
I recon there is no full android, tethering smartwatch yet, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Could you please also let me (us) know what seems to be the best brands of tethering smartwatches? The most reliable ones, the ones that the product doesn't break down after a few weeks ;)

Also, I'm asking for chinese manufacturers. None of those Moto, Samsung, Huawey etc...(even if some of those might be chinese), you know what I mean :) I'm asking for tethering watches that you may find on gearbest, for example.

Thanks! :good:
