Hi
The tethering speed on my computer is much slower than the actual speed on my phone. I tried both ICS and WMwifirouter via usb to tether. And they both show similar speed. So i don't think it's because of software.
0.5m kbs on computer vs 1.7m kbs on phone
do you guys know a solution for this?
before i used Samsung a777 to tether and the dl speed was 1200kbs
so i don't know if ATT now block smartphones form tethering?
Make sure in Settings/Connections/Connections you have set both networks to MediaNet and take out any proxy settings.
Not sure why it would be slower though.
I tether and the speed is the same without any tweaks.
I have Tmobile unlimited data plan, however it is only for the smartphone. When tether, it has 500mb cap. Anyway to bypass this permamently? I'm currently using the user agent switch to Googlebot method to avert detection but some other apps or something else on the desktop or other user profile still inching its way up toward 500Mb cap. I don't want to try the vpn out to somewhere then internet out from there because they control your session and they can intercept your pw.
My DSL sucks badly. Cable is worse where I live every summer. Clearwire is too expensive. Thus, I'm looking elsewhere for more stable internet yet affordable. My current test setup is enable Nexus 4 hotspot then using DDWRT repeater bridge to amplify it up for the whole house. It seems fine so far, but I have to switch every browser's (firefox and chrome) user agent to googlebot for every user account profile on every desktop - kinda pain. Under Googlebot agent, some site does not work correctly. When I switch it back to chrome / firefox, it works fine. So I hope there is some better alternative to bypass Tmo detection. With its unlimited my internet would only be $20/mo and works reliably better than crappy $30 DSL or cable.
Would convert Nexus10 to CM10 avert detection 500MB limit on Tmobile. Anyone can confirm this?
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sorry,
This Mod isn't included in AOKP or CM.
You have to install an extra app to set an alert.
buy the tethering plan. i have a 10gb high speed plan, and can use all of it for tethering if i want. plus all the low speed for tethering too, if i go over 10gb high speed.
Also clockwork mod tether I have herd gets around them blocking you as well. Requires no root. Install the app to your device from play store and the client to your computer.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
in the uk, on the ee uk network and have 20gb monthly data
i have created a hotspot but it always hangs
anyway of speeding this up, on my tablet device its a lot faster and doesnt hang, so im guessing it could be an issue with my macbook 2013 retina 13' or is there something else i can try?
I am having exactly the same issue with my Z3 COmpact + MacBook Pro 15" Retina 2013.
Tethering with my 1+1 no problems -.-
This makes no f:ing sense.
Try USB tethering, I think the WiFi chip in the z3c is **** and can't handle tethering at full speed. Install HoRNDIS for your Mac to enable USB tether.
Im on t-mobile here in USA.I tether to me Sony laptop and me ps4 streaming fifa at the same time zero issues

I often use the WiFi hotspot on my Z3C with my Macbook Air with no slow downs in speed. I do not tether it though.
Probably depends more on the speed or maybe I have a faulty unit. My LTE reaches around 50-60 Mbps when I use the WiFi hotspot it drops to 20-25 Mbps with both my Mac and PC. When I use the USB tether I get full speed.
Ive been trying to use tethering to my laptop and its to the point of unusable, im getting 56k speedsi if that while a speed test from my phone im getting 15-30 down and 2-10 up.
I'm using wifi hotspot ive tried both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz. I have also tried the USB Tether but my windows 10 doesnt like it for some reason. Im on verizon with a shared Data plan that includes the Hotspot feature. anyone have any ideas
Thanks
No idea, but I've tethered to a Windows 7 laptop. Performance was good, so I never bothered to check the speed.

I am having same issue. I use T-mobile and my OnePlusOne never had this issue. I would go to gym and just turn on my hotspot and watch Netflix without issue in the past. With the MXPE, it's like being on 56k modem. Anyone else having this issue?
I tether almost everyday due to terrible speeds at work. I'm on Verizon unlimited and I do not experience any speed issues. I unlocked but I made no changes for tether as that worked out of the box
I tried Bluetooth tethering which works fine without any issue so it's not exactly a carrier issue. I also verify with t-mobile that they didn't turn of my hotspot feature by accident.
I have the same issue on TMO US. With my Nexus 5, I had fast, dependable tethering. Now with the MXPE my tethering is painfully slow and flaky. Not good at all when on the road.
I'm having the same issue. I just upgraded from a Droid MAXX that had fantastic tethering speeds, and now on my new MXPE it's like being on dialup. Has anyone come up with a solution? I've been loving the phone so far, but tethering is too important to me and I won't be able to keep the phone if I can't figure it out.
I've had this happen twice. A reboot fixed it both times.
I've had this happen more than twice... Hoping the devs can come up with a fix

I'm on VZW ULDP and mine can be painfully slow at times as others have indicated. Usually a reboot will rectify it. But that's not really convenient. I have it set up to start tether automatically when I start my car (bluetooth connection activated via tasker) so I can automatically get traffic to work or home on my z ultra.

I had my first tethering session yesterday. I am on Verizon. A customer I was meeting with needed email access on his Surface Pro and there was no free WiFi where we met. I went in and setup a portable WiFi hotspot. We were both quite impressed with the speed. Keep in mind, this is the only time I have tried it but there were no issues.
hello i just got my moto x pure and i was trying to tether everything seems to be ok until i try use internet in my macbook and is not trasmitting data,same thing happened with nexus 6 i found that when lte it stops transfering data,this is so stupid this is an unlocked phone and it wont let me tether?????? wtf........im using simple mobile unlimited 4g LTE ,i was using an Asus ZenFone 2 and tether without issues,thanks.
This happens almost every time I use the hotspot. Rebooting usually fixes it - temporarily. I'm really hoping that marshmallow has better hotspot performance on the MXP
I get this issue... It's not exactly slow speeds, more like a spotty connection. I use Remote Desktop to do my work, which should still technically run smoothly (albeit slowly) on a 56k connection. I am connecting to a Windows NT server, so I am only using 16-bit graphics quality to reduce the strain on my bandwidth. We didn't even have anything that much faster than T1 at that time, so I can't imagine a Windows NT server running slowly on a modem connection. I noticed a couple things that were strange, so I think there may be settings on my phone causing it but I cannot be sure.
The connection fast when I test the tethering at home, but when I am out the connection constantly drops. I cannot even get a stable connection to my server to do any work. This is not when I am in the car moving from cell tower to cell tower, this is if I am at a place without WiFi, such as my dentist's office.
Chrome gets stuck at "Resolving host..." when trying to visit any websites. This would lead me to believe it is a DNS error, however this does not explain the connection instability with Remote Desktop, and using the address's IP address does not seem to fix this, strangely enough.
I am on a VZW grandfathered unlimited plan, using the TruPure ROM. I did not want to move away from stock, but I did it in an attempt to fix my tethering issues. So far nothing has worked.
Here is my issue. I can only get around 5-10mpbs with normal data (T-Mobile). I get unbelievable speeds on my phone using DroidVPN. Speed test by Ookla, tests range from 30-60mbps download and 5-10mbps upload. Every time I connect a device to my phone I am seeing the normal data speeds and not the VPN speeds. Example: My speed on the other device only gets around 0.2-1mbps.
What I would like to do is share the VPN speed with other devices (computer, phone, game consoles, routers, etc.) using the WiFi hotspot on my phone. Best possible scenario is to share that speed with my cradlepoint router to output its own signal so the rest of the household can connect and benefit.
I have tried every possible method I could find. Terminal commands, apps such as DF Tethering Fix and TetherNet, APN Settings, apps such as PDANet+ and WiFi Tether Router, build.prop edits.
I am using a rooted Nexus 6p Marshmallow 6.0.1.
If anyone has a solution or at least an answer to why I cannot share my phones speed using a VPN via WiFi hotspot please reply. Thank you.
