Does anyone else have a problem where wireless tether seems to cause the network connection to become intermittent and sometimes a page won't load?

mines worked perfectly so far, and that's in an area with subpar reception too.
Ive got the latest version of wireless tether for the inc too. I know its not a signal problem, I have a Verizon tower 2 miles from my house and get great 3g reception indoors.

The new versions wifi has problems with me. The version that comes with the 10 minute root video/package, seems to work. I'm having a problem at the moment because I upgraded on accident with a new rom. In the process of trying to fix that.

Please forgive me if this has already been covered but I tried searching for a while and had no luck on the issues.
First, I'm having trouble hooking up to routers but can hook up to my buddies phone when he is tethering. It didn't do this before but just recently. I flashed Sparksmod Rom and still had the issue, then tried the Gingerbread CM7 and still can't hook up. It says obtaining ip address then just cycles.
Second, I got a 4G phone hoping I would get better service at my work, but it doesn't seem like the signal will penetrate through most buildings, but my buddy has Sprint and gets 3G and 4G. I realize this is a different band but after I saw the data throttling hack I didn't know if I had a chance.
I would greatly appreciate any input, and will remove this post if anybody directs me to the issue post elsewhere.

if i remember right data throttling was for those who received a message from tmobile saying they used to much data and i think tmo's 4g isnt so great right now depending on where you are, i get 4g sometimes and sometimes its just 3g. and about the routers i recommend trying to restart the router or manually add the router. good luck on fixing your problem
One of the best things about Tmo is that they offer wifi calling for free, but obviously that won't work if you can't connect to wifi. If you can't get wifi working you should revert back to stock and do a warranty exchange.

Thanks for the input. I've honestly tried everything router wise.

are you overclocked? you may need to apply the wifi fix if you are.
The overclock I'm running is packed in the rom. (Gingerbread cm7) Ill try to search the wifi fix thread. Thanks much!

Recently when I restarted my phone, the 3G symbol doesn't show. Switched to edge and it appeared then switched to 3G again but now can't even connect. Just shows the 4 bars with no edge/3g symbol.

Flashed anything recently? Maybe you're just in a dead zone. What rom and modem are you running?
I haven't rooted my phone yet. My reception is great but it has just acted like this lately.

In that case I'd say its either local interference or perhaps a malfunction with the nearest cell tower. Either way if you haven't rooted yet and it persists, I'd call T-Mobile.
I can now go to edge but still can't to 3g. Thanks. I'll call them.

Also, make sure you're in a 3G area.

Must be the area as aloneinshadow suggested, unless you have changed settings, such as: use only ........ network, intended for battery save. Sorry I can't be more specific but my current rom does not have that option. I just know that 2.1 has it, if you are on Eclair.

I've had my x for about a week and a half now and am using the darkslide rom. I like it a lot but I am having a few issues. I don't know if it's related to the rom or something else.
First the wifi tether is slow. I get about .5 M on a good day. I used to tether on an htc hero and easily got triple with sprint. Also after tethering for ten minutes our so the data will just stop and I have to stop tether and restart to regain connection. I get 1.5M when I use the speed test app on my phone..
What is the deal with verizon visual voicemail? Do you have to pay for that? Just switched from sprint so I'm ignorant on that one.

And the signal strength indicator fluctuates from 1 bar to 4.

What app ate you using to tether with? I usually get 2.2 to 2.4 down. I do have issues with wireless tether losing connection when my screen goes into sleep mode sometimes but when I wake the screen my connection comes back up. Only happens occasionally. It seems to happen less with barnacle wifi tether.

I use WiFI tethering daily and I haven't seen a issue. I used to use the Wireless Tether App from Market and with that I did experience a couple dropouts and some slow speeds.... After I switched to the stock 3G Mobile WiFi App with Team Black Hats' patch I have had ZERO issues.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm using the wifi tether app from the market. I guess I'll do some searching to find out how to do the patch thing.
Thanks!

On average I get about 1.5mbps on my tether. Not to shabby I guess.
So I switched phones yesterday and my Dinc even though disconnected from the verizon nework still has wifi. When I asked them at verizon yesterday if it would they looked at me and said I dont know. But it still connects to the internet no problems. Sweet.
So I guess now I should figure out how to theme and develop.

They just charge you for access to their 3G network, not wifi. You'll be able to use the phone on wifi, no matter what, as long as the phone has wifi it'll always work.

Hi
So lets get straight to it. Im rooted using IO , freegeed w/twrp, running stock rooted 10g rom. I have tried several roms and none of them on a speed test show me able to get over 3.8 mbps yet I get 8 mbps upload. I checked my pc, 30+ mbps download on there. Checked my gf's (completely untouched by me lol) g2 and she has the same problem its like it capped at 3.8 mbps on the wifi. 4g im getting 30 mbps. I am using comcasts phone/modem/router pos and when i checked i saw its 2.4ghz so i selected 2.4ghz on the phone along with turned wifi battery saver off. I have pretty much tried all I can think of. So now i need your help! I switched over from my lg og to the g2 and the og worked fine on this router.
Maybe try changing the channel on your router to 11?
thanks for the reply, but did not work.
Is it an old router?Try your phone with another router.
I'm guessing since its Comcast crap and only 2.4 ghz no 5 option that it is old. Lol. Just not sure why my og worked fine with this router, my brothers og pro is fine. But not our g2's

I don't need to go anywhere today and its cold out I don't want to just go to see atm. I'm wondering if I use my gfs g2 as a hotspot if I could see if wifi works that way. To bad she's at work lol

Cool, gf came home, turned on mobile hot spot, 30 mbps. So it is this pos Comcast router. I wonder if I call them if they will give me a newer router. But is there a special feature needed by a router for these phones? I'm confused lol. Why only g2's on this router?
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
@ripbabey Turn to WPA TKIP only. The G2 hates the Technicolor AES+TKIP combo. Fixed mine. Weird thing is, works fine in AES on my SB6141 and the Arris. No further idea about it. Something just isn't getting along between the two. I'm not technical enough to dig deeper.
I'll check that out thanks
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You're welcome. It will work. I about returned the Technicolor because of this.
That actually improved some speed Mr not technical enough lol. I'm getting 12-15 mbps now which is matching my computer. So now when my speed picks back up from Comcast I'll see if I get any higher. Thank you so much!

I was getting over 20, which matches, winter weather is hindering my connection. How I miss underground wiring.
Lol. So far so good, was about to just go get a router. Now it looks like I don't need to.
