Do you use the wifi feature on your thunderbolt and if so have you used it in your gaming console and do you get lag on it?
I'm assuming you mean mobile hotspot feature and I have tried it and yes I do get lag. The mobile hotspot does not give great constant signal so there are many breaks and drop outs. I would not recommend using this but give it a shot if you want.
Hope this helps
The factory mobile hotspot app has a cap on the speed. I get better results from other tether apps.

Agreed, you will get better results from additional tether apps that are offered.

even using other tether apps, things like online gaming and streaming video are not exactly ideal
Tried xbox live through it and was disconnected while searching for any online games. I would say that it's probably not the best idea.
I play wow, with vent and sometimes pandora on 2-3 bars of 3g with low pings...
Edit: using easytether (wired)

I played some games and downloaded so songs with PDA net on my desktop. It was really fast on 4G. But you have to pay for PDA net aftrler awhile. I use wireless tether to connect my xoom when I need it

Haven't messed with the wireless to much I'd go with a third party app for it. Or USB tether. Can run xbox live with usb tether even without much problems. Atleast in my experience

You could just download wireless tether from the market. Works just as well.
I'd upload it for you but I'm not at home. If its not done by the time I get home, I will.

Wifi Tether is adhoc whereas the wireless tethering app acts like a real wifi hotspot connection.

May I ask what's the difference?
And will verizon be able to tell the difference (or whether I am tethering)? I'll mostly using for light surfing (web browsing, emails). Not interesting in watching TV over 4G.
Good question, I love the tether feature and only use it once in a while but when I need it I need it

Ad-hoc is computer to computer where as the wifi hotspot app handles connections like a real router. I believe this to be the case anyway. So, for example, when I was in Las Vegas I tried to set my laptop to stream videos to my xbox through Windows Media Center. I fired up my trusty droid thinking WiFi tether would help me out. But, it set-up an ad-hoc network and WMC will not stream to extenders over ad-hoc. I was kinda bummed.

afaik you can't 'improve' tethering, it either works or its a crap connection as it depends on your phone's signal strength... I get good results with the wifi tether 3.0 (or 3.1 can't remember ) pre-12 version, though I don't play xbox over the connection so I couldn't say if it works okay
I have 4g full bars, its very annoying, I can surf the web alright but online gaming is pretty bad.

From what I understand, they can't monitor what tethering app you are using. All they can see is that your data usage is going up. Depending on how much you use they may send you a notice about the dramatic increase. But screw them you just been downloading a lot of music, and YouTube videos. Lol

The tethering apps are free, but the data being used depends on your data plan. if you have unlimited data then you have no worries. But if you are on a plan that has data limits be very mindful of how much you have been using.

I get no lag on 3g. It's actually more laggy on 4g oddly enough. I think its the tethers fault but I haven't figured it out yet.

I can get 30mbps down while tethering, but my pings ANYWHERE are always like 100ms+, making gaming impossible.
So I did a quick search (phone searching is b never as good as on a computer) and didn't find much so I thought I'd ask... what's the difference between the two apps wireless tether and WiFi tether and which one works better on our phone?

If you root your phone, you can use the built-in hotspot application.

In regards to the two apps above, WiFi Tether worked very well for me before I patched the above.

Only difference that I can tell is Wireless tether for Root Users doesn't work and Wifi Tether for Root Users does. They both look the same but the latter has an additional option to change device profile and switching that to Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) allows it to work.
Use the built in tether, they don't charge anymore, no app needed

They don't charge for tiered/share data plans... Speculation is they do charge for unlimited users.

tank you...nice post
If I'm not mistaken from a convo with Mr Verizon Store Guy, they stopped charging for tethering because of the rediculous amount of workarounds for close to every device that render their paid service pointless.
However, I heard somewhere online theres a clause for abusing the network in you end user contract associated with fees, but I'm not sure and didn't look into it too much. I don't use it too much and am not worried about my limits (cue wifi), so it'd prolly be wise to check yourself.
Long story short: search around as there are a number of ways as previously outlined. But should you choose to go bananas and over indulge in torrents or roms via 3g/4g, be aware of a potential bill the size of congressional legislation. Tether responsibly as bandwidth is shared by all network users. Don't be THAT guy

Lol, you mean that DB who has it in his avatar that he used over 100 gigs in a month??
Is it just me or is native tether slower than WiFi tether? Also can someone direct me to the latest WiFi tether treve mod apk please? Thanks.
Edit: OK so my native tether was working earlier today. Now when I go to use it, it reboots the hone everytime. While rebooting has been a natural thing on aosp roms, it always works after first reboot. Thoughts?

Anybody want to run some speed tests? It would be interesting to see, in numbers, the difference.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I have personally done many,many, many speed test in the past and tested this issue b4 and from my experiences with it, app tethering is almost twice as fast and has a much more stable connection than native tethering. Feel free to d/l apps and try for yourself because I've done it and this is what I think. I use around 20 gigs a month tethering my ps3, personal business computer internet, streaming project free.tv. plus much more. I've spent plenty of time trying to get the fastest tethering speeds for these reason's and I use an app.

CleanROM R2
CleanROM R2 allows tethering right out of the box for free using the native app. SpeedTest shows the same for me with it or PDANet+. In fact, it seems like PDANet+ is just a work-around frontend for the native app. FoxFi appears to be gone. When run, it just opens PDANet+.
For now, at least with CR R2, the native hotspot is all you need and CR has a toggle for that. Too cool!.
I know many ROMs now come with the native being functional and it is super nice to have a toggle or quickset tab for it, but like I said before, it just seems unreliable.
