[Q] WiFi tether wont start? - HTC Sensation

Got the APN right
webs works well, yes I have tethering on my plan
it just wont start, says processing, and then just shows the WiFi tether config screen.
Three branded ICS 4.0.3

Which Rom are you?
Sent from my GT-P1000

Three UK's branded ROM
see images

It could be a known issue with the rom you choose. I am paying for a tethering plan also however my rom ordroid does not support tethering! So therefore I don't have tethering . It depends on the rom.

Three are a company that encourage tethering.
Mmmm, it works one time in five, the other times it just wont start and says error.

Ive enabled chep in the apn, works 100% all the time
BUT
when you turn it off the phone craps out and resets
the WiFi its self seems kaput

I cant seem to get it working on my sensation 4g with ICS 4.0.3

mine started white screen reseting and getting a black unresponsive display.
HTC reckon something is kaput in mine
on its way to HTC as I type.

I found a tethering app that actually works! Is.called WiFi teher and once you get the settings right IT WORKS! I'm tethering again! Just to let you know is really a great app ! If you have any trouble with the settings you can pm me and I'll help. But if you want to tether again get this app. My Rom is ordroid and tethering is not working on it so this app is a God send! Im used it again this morning! It's the only one I ever got working! It's great news! Now you can tether Again too! Best of luck! Just wanted to let you know it's available!

4G Speeds of 1-2MBPS?

Running CM7 Test 4 on the new radio. Finally got 4G to switch on and stay on but my speeds are terribly low (0-2mbps). I believe im running REV A enabled per the advice of someone in the CM7 thread.. Any idea's? I was so happy to see that 4g icon light up but its still running like its on 3g.

It might be the network? I'm not saying it is but it's something to think about.

It would be helpful to know what area are you from. Could be network issue.
If you're in NYC the speeds should be normal.

I think it's something with cm7 and the recent 4g outage. Pretty sure slayher commented about it on his twitter. I'm sure it'll be fixed in an update soon.

For anyone interested it was the network. Rom works fine once its got a lock on 4g. Had it stable all day. Speeds shot back up without a reboot or anything

About to give up on my thunderbolt

Don't seem like we ever gonna get the update I'm thinking bout rooting it today
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I'd root
I just moved from EVO 3D (Sprint) to Verizon. I rooted mine day one. After being on CM7 for so long with my OG Evo, I just couldn’t pass it up.
Now, I have ANY update I choose. Do it. You can always go back and UNroot.

why did you leave the evo 3D for Verizon?
I had the EVO 3d and loved it. The Sprint coverage for me was horrible so I had to go big red. Started out with the LG revolution.... What a turd of a phone that was... Came to the thunderbolt and am very happy. It's no EVO 3d but its still the best choice on Verizon.

There's nothing wrong with a battery pull. It's harmless.

ok thanks for posting man! When we have these problems we should call Verizon so they can know we have a problem in the city....because when I called they didnt know any problems going on in the city and couldn't do nothing for me they wanted me to do a hard reset. Everything is good now I am in the bronx now 3:04 Am was out drinking lol
I spoke to someone today about slow data since January and they told me that they're moving to Network Vision towers right now (3G/4G in one tower). She said they happen to be doing NY over the weekend, specifically Queens and Brooklyn. That might be it.
its gotten better.

[Q] TMOB vs. International

So,
I haven't really had a solid answer to this question. What, if any, are BIG downsides to flashing an internation ROM onto a TMO US phone? Are there any discrepancies as far as usage.
I'm using TMOUS TrickDroid ROM (and absolutely nothing against torxx), I just want to mess around with a couple others - not sure yet - but I want to mess around with others, including International ROMs.
Any solid answer to this? I've read about potential Data speed discrepancies.
Thanks all!
-Brian
I had data issues when I used an international rom on my T-Mobile one s
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Some perceive data issues on eu roms because you see the 3g/h go back and forth, but really the same thing is happening on tmous roms. Only difference is that tmous always keeps the 4g icon up rather its 3g or h, so it appears to be more stable but is not.

What you say about T-Mobile is true but I didn't not have a perceived data issue. Data on my Ville would straight up drop when I had an EU ROM on it. As in no data.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Im on bin droid and I havent had any data drops at all. I did upgrade to the newest radio so maybe that helped

I'm currently on leedroid and have no issues, solid signal. I reach dl speeds of around 20mbs so I'm happy
Sent from my HTC One S
I have read some members here on XDA take both sides on this issue. Some say it does not make a difference. Others say it does.
Personally for me the connection seems to be slower and more unreliable when flashing an international Rom on a T-Mobile USA device.
Right now I am on LeeDroids Rom with the stock tmobile radio. I did some quick speed tests so you see what I mean.

I really think upgradig the radio will help some people out I upgraded mine and it really helped with data switching. I know the method in the development section is not for the faint of heart but its definitely worth it

Upgrading the radio is really important for signal etc.

Go into the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Now go into phone information. You may be able to select LTE from there.

The G icon is a known problem with any TORXX ROM. Search the viper thread.
So what rom do u reccomend?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
From what it seems like, you should have 4G. When not using data, your device switches to 3G mode (saves battery). As soon as you start to use data, it switches to 4G. US ROMs show the 4G icon at all times, but the same thing happens. EU ROMs show H instead of 4G but, again, it's all the same. Viper has a glitch where it shows G instead of H, it is annoying.
If you are still skeptical, try what someone mentioned above by typing to code into the dialer and choosing WCDMA preferred or auto modes. As for what ROM to use, it's all the same regarding data. I am on T-Mobile US and use viperOneS with full and stable 4G speeds. I also have the latest radio from the latest EU OTA; 2.31 or something like that.

As they say, opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one...I'd try them all and see what you can live with. Viper seems to be the most feature rich Sense ROM, but you have to accept that your signal indication may not be accurate. As they say in the Viper thread, just think of G as "Great" signal...try running a speed test and you'll probably see that you are getting 4G speeds when it says G
