Hello everyone,
I noticed that my 4G speeds are barely fast enough to play games online, but they manage, since it's all I have access to =( poor me. Anyway, when applications on my phone try to access the internet (google play etc.) while I'm using my hotspot, I immediately notice lag. I was just wondering if anyone knows a way to dedicate all of the bandwidth of my phone to the hotspot. Any help would be thanks.

I have noticed this same issue with my previous HTC Thunderbolt as well. For a while now, whenever I use the mobile hotspot or usb tethering on my PC, I can only browse the internet (ie. Firefox) for a few minutes and then all browsing will state that there is no internet connection available. However if I run a torrent, it will run and full speed at that. Is Verizon only blocking me from certain ports on the internet?
I have incurred very high data usage with the Thunderbolt and now Charge which may be causing this issue. However, I find it very strange they'd block web browsing but not torrenting, where the latter which would typically suck much more bandwidth, the last thing Verizon wants!)
Would anyone here be able to explain or if they've experienced this as well?
I decided to root my phone (galaxy S5) and downloaded the Wi-Fi tether router from the play store. I recently got a message saying " You've used 100% of the paid high speed data on your T-mobile plan. Your Smartphone Mobile Hotspot speed will now be limited to 128 kbps until 09/23/2015. Smartphone data will still be at full speeds. My laptop connects at full speed when using a vpn. Last month it also would work using a user agent and the console would be unaffected for some reason this month T-mobile has found a way to stop it. The console will obtain the IP address, internet connection is successful but the download speed says 128 kbps making everything unplayable. My APN and router settings are all correct and I don't know what to do. This is my only means of playing online or enjoying Netflix plz help me.
Hmmm
The ps store and friends list load slow but I can play games without lag for some reason
Same Problem here. The issue is you can use a user-agent switcher for the pc to hide tethering but not for the PS4. There is no way to hide it so Tmob ALWAYS knows you are tethering your PS4....ie data gone...
I know that the download booster mod allows downloads over 30MB to utilize both, but Anyway to get that working for USB tethering without a min. limit? I was able to hack my neighbors wifi but hope it can be better if i am able to use my mobile data at the same time, especially for video streaming.
Stealing wifi from your neighbor isn't good enough?

its fine for basic web browsing, but not really strong enough for video streaming. my mobile data is great, but would also like to have faster speeds.
While I do not condone stealing people's WiFi, this concept would surely be wonderful.
The only way I got it to work was using Connectify software on the computer. However, your public IP constantly changes due to using two different networks. I never thought into looking how the download booster works, I personally delete it from my device after rooting lol. I always assumed it would be switching IP addresses as well due to changing networks.
The problem with that is, streaming sites reset when they see an IP change and your video just stops playing. Same thing happens when downloading files.
Hey guys, I've searched and seen similar questions asked with no clear answer. I live in an area where my the internet speed is extremely slow. My mobile data is much faster and allows me to stream videos, music etc. However, in order to connect with all of my other devices on my home wifi network (chromecast, roku etc.), I'm forced to use the terrible wifi internet speed instead of my mobile data. Is there any way around this? Apps, hacks etc?
You could possibly try a teathering app. That might work. I Hope This Helped in any way.

My home Internet is extremely slow and the only carrier available in my area. It's too slow to use any streaming services
How about Wi-Fi router with sim card support?
Hey guys,
I wanna know if there's a way to exclude some apps from using wifi, while every other app uses wifi ordinary. I got an unlimited flat for streaming YouTube and Netflix with my mobile data and the speed is way higher than my connection at home. So I want to e.g. watch YouTube using the mobile connection, but keep wifi enabled for everything else coming in. I've already tried to restrict wifi to YouTube and forced Android to keep the mobile connection active, but unfortunately, this didn't work out.
I hope you can help me guys thanks for every answer
