I'm on 4g tethering and for some reason it just stop loading pages evening though i have connection or it takes forever to load...i switch to 3g and its fast...is Verizon stop 4g because they know i'm tethering?
Might just be an area of weak coverage on 4g. Not really sure at all though.

I find this below to work better than the *#*#4636#*#*. Seems like 3G is stable now. I have yet to see the 1x since I did this. It does turn 4G completely off though. From what HTC support says they are working on a fix for the radio, camcorder, txt, and battery issues. I was told an update when it comes should set it back to LTE. We don't have 4G yet so a good 3G signal that sticks instead of dropping out to 1x is fine by me til they get it fixed.

Are you on WiFi, because ehrp whatever is what allows you to talk and surf, putting it on rev a is just putting the phone on the old non talk and diem network.
Wifi off and it still works. Must be that it just turns the 4G off. I get email, txt, can put the wife on speaker and look at forums on the web and browse sites no problem.

I thought it was known that you can use 3G and talk on this phone at the same time. You don't need 4G. I used it once just to see that I could. I'll probably never use it again.
ehrpd is not the talk and surf thing. It makes the handoff between 3g and LTE work properly. Without ehrpd all your data connections will reset when you go between evdo and lte
All this like does is show you how to set your tb so it will stay on 3G and not 1x, which it kills the 4G. I see no point in having 4G search if I'm not in a 4G area. Plus it helps that battery issue a bit too.

So after running speed test both as an app on my phone and tethering or using my phone as a wireless hotspot I have noticed something. When using speedtest on my phone my DL speeds are about 1.1mb and up about 1.0mb. Now tethering or using it as a wireless hotspot my DL is 1.33 and UL is 0.30. Why is my UL speed so damn slow when I'm tethering?
Tethering speeds come from your actual phones service. So if your device doesn't have enough reception your tether wont send enough either.

I find myself not using wifi much now that I have 4g speed. I'm fact my 4g speed is faster than my wifi Anyone else find themselves not using wifi as much now? With my incredible I had to use wifi since 3g was only 3meg compared to my wifi which gets about 12 meg down.

Maybe a few times a week , which is.hardly ever. The 4g speeds in chicagoland area are so fast I forget about using the wifi networks I'm around. Since wifi uses less power than mobile data should probably be using it for better battery life though

I use wifi on my T bolt because no 4G is in my state yet even... I know fail
I never use wifi on my Thunderbolt. My home internet is fast (~25 Mbps), but I don't need it to be that fast on my phone. I have 4G in my area and get around 18-20 Mbps with my TB.
All the time when at home. Added benefit of accessing home network shares.
I use it whenever i can, not 4G where i live. Some parts of the island have....not my part.
I only use Wifi when I'm at home since my apartment gets terrible reception (3 bars on 1X). If I go outside on the balcony I get full 3G though.
Only when I dont have LTE coverage when traveling. Thats literally it. 4G is just too good.
Never use wifi now, 4g is about 8meg for me which is much faster than my home wifi.
I haven't even turned wifi on yet. Had the phone since day 1 release.

I use wifi whenever it's available so mostly at home and at school. It saves on battery and I don't have 4g yet so it's a no brainer

LTE > Wifi > 3g for me, but I use WiFi when I can, and LTE when I'm travelling somewhere that has it.

I am rooted with Wireless Tether, and getting about 16mbps out of the 4g. My internet company can shove it! Also play Xbox through it!
I dont think I will be able to see that much of a difference between wifi or 4g, plus why would you not run wifi? unless you really like your phone plugged in to a charger all day. Battery life burns much faster on 4g then it does on wifi, yes I am rooted.
I use WiFi whenever I'm at home. 4g is faster but WiFi is better on my battery and is almost as fast as 4g

Same here. I live near LA and although i would love to try 4G, i wont be going out of my way to do so, which means wifi whenever its available.
I use wifi almost all day, everyday. Only exception is when I'm driving around.
As soon as I get home I disconnect bluetooth from my truck and turn on wifi. I average 10-12mps down which is about the same as 4g in my area and wifi doesn't eat my battery like 4g does.

Almost every day, i hardly use wifi hot spots though.
I hear TB has a different version of 3g. What is different? Is it the voice and data at the same time version?
What are the speeds?
It is voice/data, not sure the speeds.

Speed Tests here in NY were showing anywhere from 400k-600k down and about 100k up on 3G.
It's not actually a different 3g, but a revision of the current 3g that allows for faster handoffs from 3g to 4g. Speeds should be the same as any other 3g phone.

Even if you don't live in a 4G area you still get voice and data at the same time.

Typical 3G speeds.
I usually get 2.5 down and 1 up. I live in a rural area and am surprised I even get 3g.

I rooted my T-mobile galaxy blaze 4g and installed ICS 2.3.6. A short time later I upgraded to CM10.0.0. It was there that I noticed that I lost my 4G capability. I only have 2G/3G service now. Where did it go and how can I get it back? Please help!

Go into settings/wireless/more/mobile networks/network mode and check mark the one with lte. This should solve your problem
Did that but still showing 2G/3G and an H+ for my network connectivity. Could it be because T Mobile does not recognize this particular ROM yet and therefore has not authorized it to carry 4g? Kind of at a loss as what to do anybody with other suggestions please.

H+ is 4g

OK cool. I hate to belabor this topic but it why is the 4g intermittent and 3g and 2g seem to be default? It only goes into H+ intermittently it's in very few circumstances. Primarily remains in 3g and menu allows me to go down to 2g. I'm pretty new, I've done a lot of reading, I'm just trying to understand. Thank you for all your help.

Its just as frequent as your last ics , the difference is 4g from T-Mobile never leaves the screen but you were still alternating 3g/4g just the same. Another thing is T-Mobile has less 4g towers than say sprint or atnt sooo really nothings changed. Enjoy !!!
TMO ROMs show 4G full time to avoid panic.
TMO calls HSPA14 and up "4G".
H+ is HSPA+21 and higher.
Phone automatically ramps down to H or "3G" when data connection is more or less idle. Under use, it'll ramp up to H+. Potential battery saving...
Nothing has changed compared with before, except the dummy icon.
