Is anybody else getting very poor tethering support from their galaxy S?
I'm on rogers using the bell GT-i9000m and it's just terrible. If i don't use a third party program like pdanet my SC2 games will time out after 20 minutes and the internet will be very slow, yet internet on my phone will be very fast (3/3.5g).
Before anybody asks why I am gaming on a tethered phone instead of having a land line it's because my barracks are old and aren't wired for cable/dsl.
So...is there any alternative like "Wired tether for root useres" for a galaxy S? It didn't work the last time i tried to launch it.
PS. I'm using the "PC Internet" button when you plug in usb, as Kies doesn't want to launch for me without internet.
You tried pdanet or easytether? both allow usb tethering and don't need root access.
update: guess I did not read your post properly. I had read that the wifi tether isn't as fast as the cell connection.
What is wrong with sticking with pdanet anyway?
Using the original tethering function present in the International Galaxy S phone and it works perfectily.
Don't you have that in the US models ?

Any idea how to connect to the tv (samsung) by wifi? It ask me to push the wps button on device but xperia play doesnt got it.... I tried with a samsung galaxy s 2 and it gots that option

I think you are confused I think Samsung TV only connects with DNLA devices (like Galaxy phones)
well at least that's my understanding
yes, youre right... but our phone (xperia r800) is dlna certified... you can check it here... http://www.dlna.org/products

yeah, that´s allshare.apk, but i think you need touchwiz of samsung to run it...
there are other apps to do this like imediashare but not the same functionality as allshare
But i think that what i need is te wps button in the wifi settings to connect to a wifi direct device
this is what im talking about... this is htc desire HD samsung galaxy too
any rom working on xperia play does this?

Has anyone successfully connected a Verizon GN3 to an ASUS RT-AC56R router? I have been trying various settings for 3 days without any luck. If you know how to make this work (which it is supposed to do), then please post how you did it.
I am aware that I could use the GN3 as a WiFi hotpot, but I have a number of wired components throughout the house that are not WiFi capable.
Thanks

In order for you todo that you would have to set your router up as a repeater. Might be able to look up how todo that

Thanks.
The repeater mode only functions as a WiFi repeater. I'm looking to utilize a cable to connect via USB to phone. It sure seems to indicate that I *should* be able to make it work, somehow. For example:

I know that the phone itself works in USB tether mode, because USB tethering works fine when connected to a single computer.
Anyone have this working on WIFI or LTE?
Works for me on WiFi with both Chrome on Windows 8.1 and on my Chromebook.
Just tested and it works on LTE too
app continues to say connecting on the phone... any ideas?
Yeah, not working here yet either...mine says "Talking to your phone" but never gets further.
UPDATE: Finally kept playing around with it until a button came up on the phone to turn connect on in Chrome on the computer (I had already previously done that on the computer multiple times) so when I hit that button in connect on the phone, the computer extension finally connected. Go figure. All is working fine now.
The pc just says could not connect to phone. Could this be art?
So what worked was to unlink the gmail id from the connect service... now it works. Also the app constantly stops, meaning i have to start the connect app on the phone for it to be persistent. Anyway to change this? i suspect OOM, but just asking.
Also not compatible with the ART runtime...confirmed and switched back to Dalvik

I would disagree, I'm running ART and Motorola connect is working perfectly fine. Pic/screenshot below for proof. Disregard the names/phone numbers if I forgot to block any out.

Can anyone with an Asus router, such as the RT-N56U, tell me if the 6P will usb tether to the router?
I do this with my Note II. Gives my whole house internet using the Asus router instead of the phone hotspot, and also get the benefit of ethernet connections and a better wifi signal than the phone can provide. And only having one wifi network to deal with makes things so much better. My Note 4 just sits in a drawer because of this, since it can't be rooted. Which is a shame because it has a better radio and can get sometimes 80mbps+, when the Note 2 only gets around 50mbps.
Well in case anyone else has this question, I went ahead and bought the 6P. Can confirm it worked straight out of the box, didn't have to even change any settings on my Asus router. Just plugged it into the router USB port, and selected USB tether on the 6P.
And the speed is incredible at my house:

Just to be clear, when I said I didn't need to change any settings on my router, meant because I had already set it up with a previous phone. If you've never set up the router to use a USB modem, you'll need to configure it. Very simple, at least on vzw, but not just plug and play.
