Poor tethering?

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 ?

weird browser bug with some roms

Ok so I typically run the stock rooted roms that get pushed out by such people as DutchDanny since in 3.1 i was able to recolor the navigation bar which made everything blend nicely. After a long while I decided that it was time to rom it up since i am a flash-a-holic on my tbolt as it is. Now I primarily use my tab 10.1 wifi while at work and tether it to my tbolt to watch any videos or shows that I want since I work overnight and our internet is selectively blocking access and flash to sites like ch131.com. So in my scenario the browsers flash playing ability is key.
One thing I have noticed while testing out 3 roms (Overcome, Stock/rooted KMM, BinDroid, and Galaxy Task) is that the browser seems to want to work differently when playing flash videos now. Now keep in mind I wipe everything atleast twice (data, cache, voltage, battery, dalvik cache) so its fresh each time and below is what I am seeing for each of the 4:

}
Bindroid

Galaxy Task
Does anyone have any idea what that gap on the bottom of the video between the players controls and the navigation bar is being caused by. As you see in the stock KMM rom it should not be appearing and even when task650 was kind enough to provide me with a flashable replacement for the stock browser rather than the xoom one, the problem remained.

dont suppose anyone is able to replicate this?
I used ch131.com to test videos

[Q] Best ROM for Privacy on Nexus 7

Hello,
I like my Nexus 7 but do not want any google-access. I'm looking for suggestions for a ROM that basically lets me use the Nexus as an offline device for the most part. I do, from time to time, want to be able to access some services via VPN. I've used Cyanogenmod but it seems it still requires quite a bit of tweaking to turn things off and updates seem to enable things - especially Google services. I really want Google out of my life. Are there any ROMs that start with the assumption that you want complete privacy? Thanks.

Disabling Google services or framework will cause many other issues.
Not sure you even can.
Not being sarcastic.... But to get Google out of your life, you might need to leave android completely. Which won't happen on a nexus.
And to answer your question at the end, no.
However, airplane mode will keep you completely offline. Simple. Without messing with anything.

Need a Custom Rom Available for SM-T285. Tab A 7.0 (VoLTE)

Hi guys.
I'm new to the Samsung Tab A community. I recently purchased a Samsung Tab A 7.0 - Volte enable tab. As usual samsung has loaded it with too much junk. I would like to either de-bloat the current OS. Or would like to flash a custom rom. I tried a bit of searching and found a few threads about roms. But i am not able find any proper link to flashing process, roms and recovery. Please help me in this regard.
Excuse me if I am re-posting. Thanks guys.

Me too debloatware my TabA
Dont get your hopes uo i havent found anything, just been looking as well. It would be good to get rid of some of the bloatware on here considering the memory available.
I think there were a few i found a while back which i have mosplaced but never got around to installing.
Im not sure but i think i found them on pirate bay which is probably why i was hesitant to install considering sites like that and its users and tapped into every back door there is out there.
Im thinking root the phone then manually delete system files like kids mode and samsung internet and a few other apps built in.
One thing to keep in mind is there are some files which the OS needs so back up, remove, test back up, remove, test and so on.
That way you can roll back to previous versions.
I dont think many people do it because of the headaches. There is no majic button to do it auto in 2 minues. Even developers hesitate.
If a smart phone dies is it bricked? Those were the old blocky phones right? Now a brick. Now a frisbee.

MyCricket app and root

I rooted my G5 Plus a few months ago, and I just put HavocOS on it yesterday. It took some research but I have everything working except the MyCricket app. This has never worked with root. It ignores Magisk Hide, it doesn’t care if I’m connected to WiFi, or if I have an active SIM installed. It just doesn’t load and says I’m not connected to a network. Is there any way to get around this? It’s not very important that I get into the app, it’s more of a personal annoyance at this point that I can’t figure out how to make it work with root. Any and all help is appreciated.

Here’s the error the app gives

Kernel?

I haven't done anything with the kernel. If any changes were made, it would have been by the install of HavocOS. I would think it's still stock though so I'm not sure if it's a kernel issue.

It could be due to bad VPN you use.

It's hardly a VPN, it's CloudFlare and the MyCricket app works just fine on my non rooted Nokia with the same app/VPN running.

I'm facing the same issue too, but on Moto G5S Plus. Have you been able to get around this issue?
