So I root my H990DS it was hard but in the end everything is working fine but one problem. My Wifi speeds are super slow. About 3mbs and it should be about 40 or even 50. I tested the speed on my computer and it's fine also when I use my carrier data internet it's much faster.
I wonder if it's possible to be related to the kernel I installed using the dirty santa root method I also installed ADFree that changes my host file. I unsintalled it and recovered my original Host file.
The post is lacking info I guess but I'm not sure what useful information I can give, please if you need more info do help me just ask.
Thanks for reading

I have a similar problem, but it's my wifi keeps dropping randomly. Usually when downloading something. I'm using a rooted H910.
Nevermind I think I fixed it I did multiple things so I'm not sure which one worked.
I cleared my app caches then went to TWRP and cleared my chaches there as well. I went and ''forgot'' my connection then I turned my phone off and removed my battery meanwhile I turned my internet off and waited some time. I turned my internet on and then my phone. When I connected I had good speeds again.
Now I'm very happy after 2 days fighting to make my rooted phone work, using strange line of commands in terminals updating kdz changing kernels I finally managed to make my phone work properly. I will wait some days and see how the phone reacts on the long run. I will leave the topic here in case someone else in the LG V20 is having issues with WiFi as well.
I'm just not sure what caused my problem maybe AdFree but since I don't see anyone having issues with it in the forums I just can't point to anyone, I'm just glad I have normal speeds again

Does I changes to your mobile data?
Maybe it's auto switching to the mobile network? Did you try to disable this option? https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-207772/

I realize there have been quite a few posts about this already, but after all the searching I've done I haven't found a definitive answer.
I have a Google Play edition Nexus 4. It's unlocked, rooted, and has CyanogenMod installed on it.
The issue is that I'm not getting any data connection outside of Wifi. I've tried every set of APN info (AT&T) i've been able to find, I've tried the airplane mode workaround, I've done every step that I've found online.
I know there are plenty of you guys out there that have the same issue, my question is, has anyone tried flashing the older radios (posted here)? Just seeing if anyone has had any luck with them before I go messing around in my phone and potentially mess something up.

Make a nandroid before you flash and you can always revert.
Just a quick question...is mobile data enabled under Settings/Data usage?
You do have a data enabled plan through your carrier?

Yeah data is enabled, and I came from an HSPA+ phone (Atrix 2) so my data plan hasn't changed at all. And the phone worked fine for a bit and then when I ran all the updates the data broke. I flashed to CyanogenMod and still no dice.
It's rather depressing since this phone is supposed to be as perfect a representation of a "pure" Android as you can get and I can't even get data :/
I have been having issues with the wifi tether that are confusing me a bit. A little back ground:
After installing KK (stock) via zip, I had no issues with Tether. A few weeks after the upgrade, I tried the LTE fix for the 1st time, and there was much happiness.. everything seemed good (I'm on T-Mobile btw, it worked awesome). Sometime after the 4.4.2 OTA installed, I tried to use the tether, and it seemed normal, but nothing I connected to it could actually access a webpage. On my PC, I could connect to the hotspot and Ping a website, but it would not load it (used www.cnn.com to test, easy to type). I even tried using the IP address generated by the ping test, but no luck. It is obviously able to resolve an address in DNS.
I decided to start playing with some ROMS, and found a couple I liked, but still ran into the issue with tethering, but now was happening without 4G too... until I tried a PA ROM. this ROM has the tether working even with the 4G enabled, so I know it's not a hardware issue with my phone, bg relief. The issue I have is there was one ROM I was really hoping to stick with, a CM11 Nexus 5 Experience ROM. BUt ebven tho I keep trying after updates, it still wont work I have tried all 4 versions they have this past weekend and can get data to other devices even on the non-4G ROMS. There has to be something I'm missing here.
Anyone else run into this and found whats causing it?
There are numerous threads and articles all over the internet that explain what this and how to fix it, post 4.2.2. Before you dive in, check to make sure you aren't using T-Mobile's IPv6 APN, as it does not support tethering (at least right now).
I suggest you go read up in the general section, as I'm pretty sure the thread is there. The fix involves editing a sqlite database to allow tethering.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Everything seems good now with the ROM I was trying, and I think I can get others to work as well. Much appreciated!

thank you!
First the basics. Nexus 6p received 3/30. I did NOT turn it on and update it to the latest stock firmware before proceeding. Rather I immediately unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, installed CM13 and GApps Nano from OpenGApps. Running on T-Mobile's network using a cut down Micro SIM from my Oneplus One down to Nano size.
I'm running the latest CM13 release snapshot, ZN0EAO1T5, and my mobile data will work initially with LTE upon boot or restart. After a short time (minutes) it will no longer have a data connection. Calls and SMS still go through. While the data is active, if I turn on Wifi and then later return to mobile data the data is not active. In the status bar it just has the triangle signal icon without any indication of type of data connection (i.e. LTE, HSPA+, 3G, etc.). When I pull down the quick setting menu it does list LTE on the mobile connection quick setting button.
Additionally, MMS does not work no matter what I do. Mobile data connection or Wifi. I've researched the T-Mobile APN settings thinking this could have been the issue and no editing there changed anything.
I will likely try to restore to current factor images and begin again to see if that helps. I'll probably go get a proper Nano SIM from T-Mo today too just in case there is any issue along that front.
Anyone else experience this? Anyone else run across others having this issue? It seem separate from the 6.0.1 issues I witnessed with stock ROMs while searching but perhaps I'm wrong.
Currently installing most current stock image and then will try again. Noticed the bootloader and radio were older versions. Hopefully restarting from scratch with the newest system will solve these issues. Fingers crossed.
Boom! Working!
Restarted from scratch after flashing the most current stock ROM. All Set. Thanks for all the help!
... Spoke too soon.... Same problems are right back. I think it may be related to this workaround to stop some of the error messages:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/development/fix-build-prop-variety-fix-aka-contact-t3133347
I ran this to get rid of the error and I think that caused the problem. So I tried to re-flash only the vendor.img as I've read that as a fix to a few things and it did not help.
I'll have to start from scratch again and see if I'm right. Clearly there is something I'm doing causing this. I just can't figure out what...
AFWall+, Adaway, CM13 superuser, Privacy Guard ??? Ugh.
You don't think it's from the cut down sim getting damaged?

Sorry I did not update this sooner.
No, that is not that issue. I did end up determining that the problem is AFWall. There is, apparently, some changes in marshmellow that the developer, ukanth, needs to update AFWall to work with it more appropriately. So I've disabled AFWall for the time being.
I'm not programmer/developer, so it just seems to me to be related to this: https://github.com/ukanth/afwall/issues/520
ukanth notes in that thread this will be fixed in the next update.
I was able to get 100+mbs on LTE in a few different places, so definitely not that SIM.

You can try the 2.50 radio as well. I was getting similar issues with the latest radio on a variety of roms until I downgraded to that radio. Now I don't have any service issues at all.

Thanks for the suggestion. If AFWall isn't updated soon I'll try it out. I've noticed quite a large increase in data usage already this month without AFWall.

I had to abandon afwall some time ago due to all of this. Now I'm running CopperheadOS, which is not rooted, so cannot use it anyway. Android 7.* has some decent settings to control permissions by app anyway, so afwall doesn't add enough for me to worry about it anymore.

If anyone knows a workaround please share. The Note 7 had a glitch when using WiFi sharing for HotSpot to work. I hope one of you smart people find a way. I need it for work.....Only reason I root is for battery life and hotspot......Man I hope we get root or HotSpot working. Thanks !!!! Never had an LG before and this thing is a beast !

Do you have issues with the V20? Do you have tethering in your mobile plan? Are you using it on AT&T?

Yes At&t......I will need root then because I'm unlimited data....This sucks......If I want to use my data by tethering, I should be able too. This is dumb
In the same boat with Verizon on unlimited. Foxfi works, but only via USB (cable connected) or Bluetooth (slow ~1 Mbps). I love this phone, but miss being able to use the Hotspot for the rare times I need it.
I believe there is a beta feature on the pdanet USB client on the PC side that will allow a hotspot generated from the computer attached via USB. Clunky but better than nothing if you have other devices that need access to the connection in a stationary setting for now.

I'm really looking forward to a solution for this. I've been holding on to my old S5 since I haven't been able to find a newer removable-battery phone that allows for rooted hotspot usage on the old grandfathered unlimited plan :/
Now that we have root, I wonder how we can enable this?
I use to just change a couple of numbers in buildProp on other phones (Rom Toolbox .prop)
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT:
Found the below info but I don't think it will work. I DID NOT try this but it is tempting.
4. Connect your phone to your PC and issue the below commands:
adb shell
echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop
adb reboot
5. Now, install Terminal Emulator app from the Play Store [HERE] and launch it.
6. In Terminal Emulator, enter below code one by one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit

Yeah I'm not entirely sure how we might be able to get it to work. I've tried adding dun to the APN - edited the build.prop and added the lines you put above into the build.prop file. Those worked to no avail.
I edited the line inside build.prop "ro.build.target_operator=ATT". I changed ATT to "OPEN", and that did happen to allow tethering. But from the devices I connected to my phone - they were unable to connect to the internet. It was almost like ATT was blocking service of tethering. I didn't try to do all of those edits at the same time though. Perhaps maybe then?

Yeah I tried using all three of those methods - but it seems like only the method of turning the ro.build.target_operator to OPEN avoids the "Authorizing" screen and lets the Tethering turn on. But while the phone is still able to access the internet, the other devices cannot access the internet - having DNS issues.
I'm curious if perhaps the "system/app/Entitlementcheck-" app retrieves a token to allow other devices to connect, and using "OPEN" makes it so the entitlementcheck application is not even used. Not sure entirely how it works. I've seen in other device sections, such as the Pixel, where someone edited the phone's own entitlementcheck app equivalent to let them use tethering (here). Not sure if it would be possible to something similar here.

I am on sprint. And i rooted my v20 phone. I am on unlimited also. But sprint gives me 5gb tether for free on my plan. Then they slow you down. The built in tether did not work after root. So i had bought a app called Wi-Fi tether router. And it works.
Re: Work around
Were you able to find a way to root the LG V20 or find a way to get around the tethering and hotspot block/ authorization??? Please Help !!

I just did this and you solved one of my pet peeves but not my tethering issues.
The phones still connect to my phone however they have no internet while tethering.
What you did solve is (by changing the prop to NAO vs ATT) is removing the annoying carrier name on the left side of the screen and also removed the annoyingly large ATNT 4G symbol. Instead its a neatly placed, small 4glte icon.
This issue is still persisting even after changing the tether enforcement to 0 from 5 in the system xml
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else is having weird issues with the new LineageOS 19.1 update? I upgraded from 18.1 and am having a bug where certain apps can't connect to the internet am forced to use WiFi instead of mobile data in order to use the app. I do have my mobile data turned on and check the info of the app and allow the app to connect to the internet. Was wondering if its just me and need to reformat or is there anyone else coming across this issue as well.

Nope. I checked those and they were correct. I even reset back to default to see if that would work but nothing the situation stayed the same and didn't work properly. I managed to get into contact with Metro to reactivate my sim card as well I went a little further than I should but I wanted to know if it was Metro network or my phone and still was having issues. All in all I decided to go back to stock firmware and I may try again later months to see if the issues have been fixed.
To be honest I doubt it am having way too much fun with Gpay at the moment.
