Is there a way to make my Verizon GS3 hot spot faster? I'm connecting my iPad with 4G mobile data and it's slow as hell.
Is there a mod or ROM that will help this problem?

Using Scotts awesome cm10 ROM,
I'm getting approx. 300kb each way. I've tried both apn changes listed in the forums, but it didn't help at all. Speed test was done outside with full bars.
Should I look into flashing my modem next, or is there something else?
Thanks in advance for any support!

Bars and data are different...I can have no bars and still have data on my phone...I've had no bars and lte on my vivid...and even if you have a good data connection there are other factors that effect speed...could be a lot of traffic, maintenance on he cell towers...

I had the same problem with that ROM. I couldn't fix it and I flashed numerous modems.

What data plan are you on? Perhaps you are being throttled

Try a non CM Rom and see if it improves.

Go to your about phone section and see if your imei number shows. Let me know

It didn't happen with a non cm10 rom (months ago) and yes, my imei is shown
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
it might be a corrupt imei with weird symbols. Double check it with the imei under the battery

Solved?
Did you find an answer for this problem? I'm having the same issue and even worse, i'm getting really slow speeds (64kbps download - 240kbps upload) which is ridiculous.
Whenever I use AOKP's built in free hotspot with Windows it connects but with limited connectivity. Thus making it pretty much useless lol. Tried it in Ubuntu as well but it just wouldn't connect altogether. Anyone else experience this issue? If so what is the fix?

I think I read it had to do with security. Try using it as an unsecured access point.

I'm using an infuse 4g with JB 4.2.1 cm ROM. I unlocked my phone and put in a T-Mobile prepaid sim.
I'm supposed to have 4g consistently but I'm getting 2g(edge), 3g(umts) and on very rare occasions I get 3g(HSDPA)... Its approximately 70%-%20-%10, respectively. And these changes are all happening in the same household. No tower switching.
I only have the option to switch on 2g only in my network mode settings on cm10... APN settings are correct and all T-Mobile can say is that I won't get 4g if the tower doesn't support it..
Are there any possible solutions to obtain 4g at all?
If so, how do I keep it on all the time?
Do I need to install a new modem?
If so, which?
Any comments and/or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Using Uckl2 at the moment. FYI.
Also, I know the modem is for WiFi but does it affect carrier data? If not what can I change to affect my data connection?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I always thought the opposite. I thought modems were only for mobile data. But does switching modems help?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Could increase or decrease your signal and rate at which data is downloaded and uploaded depending on your modem of choice. Battery life is also affected minimally (usually).
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Hmm, didn't know that... Well thanks for the lesson but have you tried switching modems?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I switched through a couple and uckl2 seems pretty stable but no change on carrier network service.. I want to put on kl3 but I can't find the download.. Not too many options for my phone though.. That I know of.

It might just be your location.

Since I changed to cm10 and switched to T-Mobile sim I have yet to have 4g. Tried where I'm at now and up to 70 miles from here... Very weird. I can't tell if its T-Mobile or the ROM.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Have you had it before on the same phone? Have you tried using another 4g phone?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I had 4g on it before, on att and on metro. Both while using stock Froyo rom and GB aeon rom.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Weird, it sounds like its the network then
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's what I'm thinking but when I called T-Mobile, they said that they cannot diagnose a non-tmobile phone. The only info that they can give me is that they assume its my location and possibly the modem but they cannot guarantee switching modems will work. Doubt they hack phones though, Lol
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
from my recollection..not from experience:
T-mobile or networks other than AT&T will only give you: edge or 3g.
No 4g or hpsa+
to get better than 3g, you need to be on AT&T
When the phone is on "H" I ran a speed test and its pushing 5 to 7 mb download speed. Is that close to 4g?
Any advice on how to stabilize the network?

yup.. 2-6mps for most.
if you are in an urban area and close to a tower, some are reporting 8+
look back in the old threads..i recalled these discussed toward the beginning of device release..jun jul aug 2011 era
Appreciate it, thanks!

Hello, sometimes I have this problem that I randomly can't use 3G data. The 3G icon is still grey (if there's no data its brown), but nothing that requires internet works. Also, the two small arrows near the 3G icon show me that no download is taking place (no down pointing arrow) and only upload arrow is active. Does anyone else have/had this kind of problem?

Same problem here
It could be the APN? Does LTE or Edge work?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
It happens randomly, I am not willing to test the crawling EDGE and I don't have LTE either. I'll add that my previous phone didn't have this issue.

I had a nexus 4 that cut out and bars went at my mates, a 3 blackspot. My Nexus 5 shows bars but looses data and sometimes says I need to insert a working sim and reboot. None of this happens at home. It's like the phone has a breakdown with a weak signal!
