why cant i tether 4g on my sprint nexus s only 3g and the speeds are horrible
Probably because you can't do a search.
what do you mean by that?
If you knew how to search, you would know the answer. You aren't the first person to discover this.

Even though the stock tethering app will not tether 4G, ff you install Wireless Tether from the market, I believe you can tether 4G.

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'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.

Hi all,
I have been trying for a while now to get the wifi tethering app and the native hotspot app to work in ICS on my NS4g (i have flashed all the ICS roms and even back tracked to older 2.3 roms) but nothing seems to work. The other devices can see the network and connect, but there is never any type of data exchanged. (the wifi icons never show an active online connection) I can use my GF's Evo with the unlocked Sprint hotspot to connect every device I own (tablets, laptops, etc...) but my Nexus will not work at all. I can get the ad hoc tethering to work with the old wireless tether apk, but only my laptop recognizes the connection.
Is there any rom, app, or fix to get my Nexus S 4g to tether in infrastructure mode? I love this phone, and the lack of tethering is persuading me to jump back on board with my OG Evo.
Any help, insight, or recommendation would be appreciated. I've been searching online for weeks looking for a solution and have come up empty.
Thanks
Jason
Have you tried open garden ? On the market

Yes I have tried it. That app only supports ad hoc connections
Wow I do not have this issue
Try the one in the phones settings with a simple name ssid like "cranberry" and have it be open.
That's what I do. Also wifi has to be off.

I do that and it connects, but I get no internet. The bars never change colors showing there is an active internet connection...

Use native ics tethering and do not encript with a password(leave wifi open).

Using a rom's built in tethering is so annoying. Especially for crack flashers. The method below is much much better for those that change roms frequently.
Ze program:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Ze instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516275&highlight=android-wifi-tether
Downside:
Can't use the rom's built 4G toggle (if it even has one) in the notification bar.
Upside:
Your backup program (e.g. Titanium Backup) will back up the settings so that you don't have to re-set up tethering each time you change roms.
Has a nice widget.
Works with 3G and 4G.
That's what I use but once I fire it up on 4G, the 4G goes away and my data disconnects. This happens on ICS Roms. Had no problem on GB

Nexus S 4g, stock 4.0.4, Bluetooth 4G tether
Oddly, my stock 4.0.4 Nexus S 4G is working with the bluetooth tether on 4G with my iPad 3. I'm using the built-in "Tethering & portable hotspot" app and I don't have the hotspot plan. Does anyone else have this working? I'll have to see if charges appear on my next bill....
Hi all, I came from sprint/Evo 4G to the goodness of Vzw/GS3 recently and have a question. With the evo I used WiFi tether or the hacked hot spot app to tether my suckass 3G, and sprint couldnt care less, I noticed that the Verizon tether app worked out of the box without rooting or using WiFi tether. Does Verizon not care about tethering? Or would I be getting a nice fat charge on my next bill without knowing? I'm rooted now and could use WiFi tether if I had to. Thanks

If you just changed to Verizon and are on the tiered plan tethering is free for you. It will use your data and only charge if you go over your data allowance. If unlimited Will use your data but not charge anytime. The roms are bypassing the Verizon authorization by using tether toggle in dropdown. The carriers dropped their app on top of Android native tether in framework thus hijacking native tether. The toggle connects direct to tether thus bypassing the app.

All Share Everything plans come with tethering included. In other words, you can do whatever you want with the data you purchase.
What the above said. Just be careful and watch your data cap. The over charges are crazy with Verizon.
Is there an app that does it on AOSP eclipse rom that bypass verizon or is there no verizon code in AOSP ROMS? Wifi tether from the play store should work?
