I flashed Danalo's All In One Odin full bloat. The browser doesn't work on wifi. All other net connections work but not the browser !! It works on 3g/4g but not on my home wifi network. The network is good, the wife's moto droid works fine on it.
I would prefer the debloated/deodexed but the messaging keyboard hasn't got the microphone for voice texting.
Same with Imnuts' Infinity ROM. I REALLY like that ROM but need the voice texting as I am a truck driver and it is handy as hell going down the road !!
Is there a way to activate that feature? Or to fix the browser on the other ROM?
Is wifi setup with everything? Do you see the ssid, enter the password,manage networks and in advanced it has stuff about ip address etc. If so it could be searching for your network and seeing it but not staying connected. So if Im wrong about all that you wifi is connected ,you see it and stays connected but doesnt work? Sorry out of ideas.
The wifi IS connected. It works for other appz such as synching accounts, twitter, facebook etc. All of those things have net access through the wifi connection. I verified this by shutting off the data (3g) connection to ensure these other appz weren't accessing the net via data connection running in the background.
Opening the browser and all you get is page not found error. Turn on data connection (3g) and it works fine.
Not meaning to be wordy but ....
Oddly enough, the browser works fine in his debloated/deodexed version. It is only in the full version all in one I encounter this. It has happened with multiple flashes as well to ensure it wasn't just a bad flash.
Under the advanced setting in wifi is there anything in the proxy setting? If so there should not be just blank it out. This has been the problem in the past.

I recently picked up a NS4G as my first Sprint phone. I haven't been thrilled with reception including wifi. I had a chance to test wifi today and was pretty surprised. I tested wifi at a friend's house vs an iPhone and iPad. Using Speedtest.net app on all the difference was ridiculous. Using a laptop along with them for good measure these are the results.
Nexus S 6Mbps/d 4Mbps up
Laptop on speedtest site 20Mbps/d 13Mbps up
iPad 19Mbps/d 12 up
iPhone 4 pretty much same as iPad.
How can the difference be so huge? I never see more than 2 bars (usually 1) of 3g signal and many times my wifi signal drops even though I'm only a few feet away from the router.
Anyone else done similar tests?
This is what I get on my 8Mbps/1Mbps connection:
Nexus One 6.0/1.0/15ms
Nexus S 7.5/1.0/8ms
iPhone4 7.3/0.9/33ms
MacBook 7.7/0.7/5ms
All in the same ballpark I would say.
I wouldn't compare the number of bars between different devices. Calibration is usually different. Remember how Apple changed the number of bars you get after Antennagate?
It's the app, not the wifi
Set your user agent to Desktop and try the speedtest.net through a browser instead.

I was doubting your results so I tested myself and was surprised. I used the speedtest app on my phone and speedtest.net via chrome on my windows laptop. Both are sitting the same exact distance from router. Laptop shows full signal, phone shows 1 bar. Both are using the same server in Modesto, Ca
phone 34ms ping 8154kbps/4001kbps
laptop 30ms ping 19.30Mbps/3.86Mbps
I don't understand why the DL is half via the phone, but I'm not really concerned either. It would be nice to have full signal on my wifi since I'm only about 20feet from my router which is behind my TV.

You can, although it only stays until you exit the app.
Type "about:debug" without the quotes in the browser address bar. Then, go to preferences and find "UAString" and set to desktop.
Hello guys, I'm new to the site and I just have 1 question (that I have googled for about 3 hours without success).
I just got my G2X and rooted it via superoneclick as soon as I got it. I am having problems with the wifi tethering and have read that tmobile has filtered tethering on plans without the plan but I refuse to believe that they would be able to filter 3rd party tethering apps. I have tried about 4 different third party apps and the stock program. They always send out a signal but cannot connect to anything (tried on 2 different laptops). Can someone shed some light on what's going on? any help is greatly appreciated.
I noticed to get the built in tether program working for my netbook I had to do an "ipconfig /release" then an "ipconfig /renew" from the command line after wifi had connected.
The wifi tethering program from the google code site worked out of the box but protection wouldn't work, and I had no desire to share my phone to the whole hotel
What do you mean protection doesn't work? Thr set password works fine for me

Today is not working. I made 2 reset. I have always error in portable wifi hotspot

It would show two networks, one protected, one not, the protected one didn't work and anyone could connect to the unprotected one
I pay for tethering on one of my phones (mine) and am trying it now for the 1st time....very fast. Wouldn't connect at first then I let windows do a troubleshoot and it corrected the issue. Seems to work well. I've been having a lot of power failures this year so want to ensure my wife can have internet for her work.
But I think I've read that the providers can't prevent tethering apps from working. Haven't I heard they are preventing the tethering apps from being seen through their Market apps?
They may detect the extra usage though.

When i tether on wifi hot spot or usb tether to my laptop (my friends connect their iPods and phones to them all the time and i never get compaints) it redirects what ever page i want to go on to a T-Mobile page trying to get me to pay for tethering. I can easily get around it with a proxy but sometimes i can't use it. Is there anyway around this?
create a new apn called whatever. put the apn in as epc.t-mobile.com and save it. select it as the default and reboot. All is now good.
Or, if it is a sensation, head over to the dev forum and download one of the unlocked tmo specific roms. they work.

Sorry,tried searching but couldn't find it. What'san apn and how do I create it on my HTC one s?

I believe if you use a tether app from the play store tmobile won't detect it. Usually only happens when you use the stock app that is programmed to check If you have tethering package.

It's happened to me before when I used a tethering app too..however after some research I found an easy workaround to it!
Apparently, this is caused by T-Mobile doing something with Chrome browser which causes some of the packets/strings sent to block it, or something along those lines.. I am not exactly sure how it works, but a solution is to use Mozilla Firefox or an alternate browser - I have been doing this for a while, and it has been working perfectly
Hope I helped!
In the HTC Sensation forum there are now several ROMs that address this and unlock the APN, fixing tethering across the board for any app. Apparently there is a tethering specifier in the default APN. The reason Firefox works is probably due to the user agent string it passes.
Hi everyone. Not sure if this is normal or not but whenever I connect to my WiFi at home, I have the data signals that stay in the statusbar. Sometimes the LTE signal will show and disappear. Not sure if both data and WiFi are being used or not

Looks like you have an active text messaging app running. Is this web based or communicating via the network? If network based, this is the reason both indicators are showing in this screenshot.

Not sure what you mean by web based or network but I didn't have any text messaging app running other than the stock app. Also its been three days that's its been like this.
I just rebooted the phone and its now gone. Don't know why I didn't try that first
That isn't the stock messaging app in your status bar or home screen. What I mean is what medium it utilizes to transmit the message. Is it your carrier (3G/LTE) or is it transmitted using data through the web?

Ah I understand what you mean. The sms app in the homescreen is actually the stock app but I'm using an icon theme so that's why it looks different. As for the icon in the statusbar, its just blackberry messenger.
So far it hasn't showed up again after I rebooted. I will report back if it happens again and see what might cause it
Two days ago, I noticed my backups (pictures, etc) had stopped on my Pixel with errors of 'Network Timeout.' After playing around trying to pin down the problem (NAS is ok, Router is fine, etc.), I found the phone just won't upload. Or it does intermittently at 100-200 Kbps with the VERY occasional burst of 45-50 Mbps. Downloads are fine, extremely fine at 90-110 Mbps. I do not believe it is a problem with the router as other devices on the same network have no problems. I am including screenshots from a HTC M9 and Pixel both connected to the same AP.
Now for the kicker. The Pixel is works as expected when connected to other WiFi APs (such as work, random Linksys and Netgears in the neighborhood, etc.). Just not at home. So back to the problem is with my router. But how, if everything else works fine? I'm posting here as well as the DD-WRT forums. Maybe between the two I can find a resolution or someone else experiencing the same.
Devices used while testing:
Linksys WRT-1900AC running DD-WRT
Pixel (Google store variant not VZW)
HTC M9
Acer Chromebook
ASUS laptop running Win10

Are you using IPv6 on your home network? If so, disable it and test it out. There have been reported problems with ipv6.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanks for the reply. However, no, I do not have IPv6 on my network. Also, as suggested on the DD-WRT forums, I do not have QoS enabled. This all seems strange as nothing was changed on my phone nor my network. Phone was fine one day and acting up the next and nothing else on the network is experiencing issues. Long weekend coming up so I'm thinking about erasing and resetting the phone to factory settings to start fresh. Phone is stock (not rooted, and still locked) as I actually like how it is and feel no need to alter it. Just perhaps something got fouled up on it. Will post back once I do the reset. In the mean time, if anyone has further suggestions, I am listening.
