I've been using wireless tether at my place because I can't stomach the 50 bucks a month for internet until I start my new job and it works fine for a bit on 4G but after a bit the 4G just goes out. It doesn't work on the phone or the computer and I have to switch back to 3G. I just recently switched from Nebula rom to Midnight rom doing a full wipe And not restoring any data in the hopes that that would fix it. It didn't so I then tried reflashing the modem in Odin but it didn't make a difference. Does anyone know what's up? Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!

Same issue. 4G power user here in Towson, MD, and the 4G would go in and out on some nights using the free tether. I stomached it, and bought the Sprint access point plan to test if it was me or Sprint and so far I have full 4G service (before it would go in and out) and have only lost Internet access once. I'm thinking Sprint flips a switch and bumps up the QoS. Download rates are roughly the same. 5mbps down, 1.1 mbps up although today (everyone is off my tower and at work while I work from home?) I get pretty good speeds.
Thanks for the info. 30 bucks would still be cheaper than Comcast.

Yep and ur wrong about deodexed roms... Mobile ap only works on 2.1 stock odexed rom rooted with custom kernal some have said it works on stock kernal too if ur rooted and when I went up to St. Louis the 4g worked amazing over it so fast thought I was on wifi.. mobile ap is currently a WIP for deodexed roms and froyo...

I tried it once on my stock rooted epic and it bootlooped and they told meit was for deodexed lol but that was way back when the app was first ported. I guess they worked it out. In anycase, id go with that OP. Now if only they can get it for froyo...

If you use the sprint branded hot spot, yes. If you use barnacle or wifi tether no.

U can either pay 30bucks for the official Sprint one or You can Use Mobile ap (link in my Signature & Instructions For installing themes if u want) on Stock 2.1 Rooted with a custom kernal and have infrastructure Wifi tethering for free. However if you want to use 2.2 then no you most likely have to pay for the service to one of the 2 developers working on mobile ap for froyo get it working.. im sticking n 2.1 til they get it working on froyo.
the viperom one is infrastructure but its a hacked version of another sgs mobile ap i think.

I wanted to ask if you guys have had any luck with using the mobile hotspot without any monthly charges?

That's something we really aren't supposed to discuss, because it's kind of a gray area legally
But Wireless Tether is a great, free alternative and you don't have to do any serious modifications to the phone with this option, just rooting
If this doesn't satisfy you, you can always send a PM

What version of wireless tether are you using? I tried 3.1 beta 7 bit couldn't get it working running ec07 miunia beta 4
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Googles wireless tether for root users works perfectly for me just make sure you're selecting the correct profile (Fascinate!) and start up mode (WEXT ad-hoc works best) in the settings!
Still running the eco7clean.
Using latest release of witether from Google.

Did some digging. I guess the version I was running (2. 0.7) didn't have profile options. Got the latest and greatest, and it is working good.

Thanks for the recommendations. I am going to give Google wireless tether a shot and let you know if I have any questions. I am running minunia beta 4 (can't wait for 5). So Google tether is free and no extra charges to my awful bill?

Correct, on the app being free. I assume you are grandfathered on unlimited data. If not, be careful.

Yeah... but ya know what? Thanks to the Dev's here, VZW and Samsung can both KMA. I don't need em. Even if they had released froyo, how many of us would still be running stock odexed with all bloatware intact? I sure as hell wouldn't.
Didn't think about it that way but you're right. I hate all the bloatware.

I had my Epic 4G flashed to Metropcs and was all ready to use QPST to get data working, but QPST will not install on my computer. I've tried and tried and tried and for whatever reason it just errors and stops installing.
Does anyone know of a way to simply flash the setting using CWM or ODIN?
I saw the Alternative Carrier Fix thread but couldn't post there to ask if that would work for me as I'm rooted on stock EL30.
Are there any ROM's available that include the required settings to get data working on Metropcs?
That thread you ran into is your best bet. Try another computer, and try grabbing qpst from another source, the one I posted on my thread works great. Just don't post about metropcs on it as the thread is for epic to virgin mobile.
The method uses outdated methods that require you to build a custom rom of el30 that DOESN'T exist. Also it uses scripts for 3g data, tbh it isn't worth it. I reccommend you switch to Virgin Mobile if you're in the Sprint coverage as I have a guide written for that.

Not all metro phones are 1x. They introduced 3g phones a few years ago.

Please post your setup as well. What rom and any mods.
I use to get speed like that on old acs (k0nane era) ec05 rom.... ever since I moved to Gingerbread I only have gotten 60-80 Kbs :-/
I'm on MarcusantRomV3 and with the EC05 modem I would get similar download speeds as you on the Los Angeles server. However, I flashed the EL30 modem yesterday, and my speeds have just been cut down to 20 kb/s :/
Here are mine 2 bars out of 4

This is absolutely the case. I have an airrave, and would always go over 2000kbps using speedtest. Now I can barely hit 1700kbps.

do you think it is a function of the different modem? Or more like the degradation of sprint over time?

Does anyone else find with EL30 that their phone seems to go to 1X a lot more than before, and is slow to come out and go to 3G?

Thank you for posting this, I did seem to notice this today, it's like wtf? I could of sworn I had good signal in the past, then I seem to realize places where I had good bars is now a lot less. I thought it was CM9 too but it could be the damn modem. Guess we'll see what the future holds, wether it be a leak modem, or official.

It could be the modem. I've been on EH17 modem (too lazy to change) and I've noticed no decrease in my signal strength.

"Been running fb15 modem for past few days... Didn't have problem till today... Keep dropping to roaming and no data... I'm on 4g right now to send this msg... Any ideas? Rebooted phone.. Update prl and profile.. It's still flaky..
Maybe sprint is having a bad day?
(this is in an area that was good before) "
My phone kept going to 1x as well. My conclusion is sprint sucks.

Agreed.........signal on FB15 is a definite improvement over EL30 in this area.

I'm not sure if fb15 is better yet because sprint is screwing up my test!

I'm seeing 1x a lot today in areas I would normally have 4 bars of 3g
I'm seeing a lot of 1x as well, I was on ec05 and had great signal but slow dl speeds but great signal but when I odind the fb15 I topped my all time high dl speed at 1.7 with one bar but still a lot of 1x. Crazy huh
+1 for it being sprint. I have been having it happen a lot lately and I am on EI22.
Is this result of the move to network vision? Or are they working on towers now?!? Hence the feast or famine signal.
