Has anyone lost tether/hotspot on stock MT4G? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't connect with usb anymore, nor can any device joined by wifi hotspot. I am certainly not at 5 gig, just light surfing at home on pc.

Slow and intermittent tethering

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.

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.

[Q] USB connect to Nexus1??

Trying to get my phone connected to my a500 via USB cable. The nexus1 recognizes that it is connected and i can turn on USB storage, but the a500 doesnt seem to see the phone at all (nothing shows up in /mnt/usb_storage).
anyone have any luck doing this?
I tried that, no luck.
Also not having luck with my EVO, if anybody can get this working would love to know.
Same problem with my nexus s. USB storage and teathering and storage don't work so I'm forced to wifi teather. Would love to be able to charge my phone and share 3g with my tab.

[Q] My touch and kindle fire

Hi all
I plan to buy a kindle fire, but I don't have wifi at home, so my question is can I connect the kindle fire to my phone portable hot spot?
Thank you
Ps my phone is not rooted
Yes you can. There's built in hotspot on your MT4G. It's in settings.

Keep in mind that tethering does count against your total data usage. So if you go over you will be stuck at EDGE speeds on the fire and on the phone.
And if you are unrooted using the stock ROM T-Mobile might packet sniff to see what browser you are using and if they know it's not one the MT4G uses they can block tethering remotely.
I can play on 360 online on my phone. I know for sure you can do that im to cheap to get home internet

I'm assuming you either have 5gb or unlimited data per month... How much data do you notice being used after you play online??

T-Mobile doesn't have truly unlimited data. they throttle after certain points.
Yea I'm well aware of that I wasn't sure of his carrier tho. I was just wondering how much data is typically used after using wifi tether on a xbox360

it takes about 3 weeks to hit the 5gb limit so im stuck playing live with my samsung epic 4g touch lol but my mytouch works better then my friends internet no glitches when im playin mw3

cant you share your computers internet connection with your mytouch in internet-pass through (can be toggled when connecting via usb to computer) . i believe you just need to install the drivers that come on the usb. after you put the phone on internet pass-through i think you can enable a hotspot , pretty muching turning your phone into a router.
i have never tryed this yet , due to my usb port going bad , it has physical damage and can only charge now , so sorry that i cannot verify if this works

[Q] Can I use the Nexus 7 as Wlan USB stick?

Hi,
I'd like to use my Nexus 7 as a Wlan Stick for my Desktop PC. Is this possible?
I am running the CM night lies.
Thanks a lot.
Probably but can't you just plug in a wifi adapter to your Desktop instead?

I can't get tethering to work on my Nexus 4 at all, not with USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi hotspot. When using the WiFi hotspot option my computer--Windows 7--hard crashes after logging into the Nexus 4. Very strange.
I am on T-Mobile as well but I get nothing, just a crash. USB and Bluetooth tethering do nothing at all.

call your service provider and ask them to activate tethering. my provider (orange UK) doesn't charge for this so it was no problem but yours may be different.
i used to tether with my old phone on the same account without issues. i think that something about the N4 alerts them to tethering so that they can block it.
