Tethering problem.

I'm not sure if this should be in the general section or in the software section because I'm not really sure what it is.
Anyway, my tethering speed has drastically slowed over the past few days.
I was getting about 28-30 kbs per second during downloads, and now, I'm at a forever slow 2-5 kbs per second.
I've tried resetting my phone and my computer hoping that would do something, but it's still just slowly chugging along.
I even installed a new radio hoping it would do something, but nothing happened.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Some info would help.......
Who is your provider?
What general area are you in?
Have you checked to see if they are having tower issues ( Other users in your general area having issues too) ?
What kind of signal strength do you have?
What rom/radio are you using?
What spl are you using?
Are you connected via Edge, GRPS, 3G , or HSDPA?
Have you installed any software at all before this all started happening?

My provider is at&t.
I'm in the Metro-St. Louis area.
I haven't checked if they're having tower issues. I guess I should have done that...
I've got all of my bars, like usual.
My rom is one of the NATF final roms with the hermes 6.1 radio, and before that, I had a niki radio. I updated to the hermes to see if it helped anything.
and in my area, I usually have edge connection.
and no, I havent installed any software.

do u have tethering plan?
if so callup att and tell them. i know they are messing around w/broadband speeds and this might have spilled over to wireless as well.

Do you know how your connected? G,E,3G,H?

In my area, I'm usually connected to edge.

I called at&t and there isn't anything wrong with the towers around me or anything.
Now I'm really confused.
I put on a new rom yesterday, and it's still going super super slow.

Have you tested for the problem in another location? I had a similar problem in the area where I worked on a project recently (about 15 miles from home). At first, everything was fine there. Then for about a week, the data service got so bad I could hardly connect at times. Called AT&T to complain, gave them the location and they told me they had no reports of anything wrong with the towers there, even though everything worked fine for me elsewhere.
Did a hard-reset, cleaned off the phone and didn't re-install anything, and tested it again. Same problem.
After about two weeks, the problem suddenly disappeared. Apparently I wasn't the only one calling in to complain every day.

It's still going mad slow.
I think I just might have to bite the bullet and get a new phone if noone else has any other suggestions.

What are your connection settings ?
Are you connecting to isp.cingular or wap.cingular ?
Do you have a Pda Plan?
Try deleting all of your settings and putting in this configuration
For both of these make sure the modem is " Cellular Line ( GPRS, 3G ) "
Call this config My ISP
Apn= isp.cingular
User Name = [email protected]
Password = CINGULAR1
Disable the proxy
If that still wont connect
Apn = wap.cingular
User Name = [email protected]
Password = CINGULAR1
Again, make sure the proxy is disabled
Dont select any of the compression settings / ect. Let it stay as default.
Test again and give us your results.
P.S.
The name/password is CASE SENSITIVE so make sure you are using caps exactly as I have for both. ONLY the APN is lower case!
Goodluck and we hope to hear from you soon!
PPS.
Proxy settings are under the tab that says "Proxy Settings"
Make sure you have "This network connectes to the internet" checked and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" UNCHECKED.

I had problems similar to to this. I would connect and everything seem fine until I tried to download a large file or large amount of data (like a heavy, app-filled website) then my connection speed would drop to near nothing or even completely stall, forcing me to disconnect/reconnect to fix the problem.
In my case it turned out to have something to do with my TCP window size.
I got a copy of TCPoptimizer and started playing with the settings of my laptop, the default setting was about 126000, but I found that I would get the slowdown or stalling with any setting above 40000!
I now have it set to about 26000 and it works great! 1.8 mbs!
I'm not a network guy, but i think that the long latency, fading, shadowing, etc. of the 3G connection was causing the large packet size not to download completely, necessitating duplicate attempts to get the packet.
It would make sense to me that a larger TCP window would mean a faster connection, but in my case this turned out not to be true.
Maybe one of the NT Gurus on here could explain it
So, I would suggest you get TCPoptimizer, or DRTCP and try changing the network settings of your laptop, and then use a registry editor for your Tilt to change the settings there too.
Hope this helps,
SF

I guess it was just the network, because a few days ago, it just started working normally. Thanks to everyone that helped though.

Fortunately the issue has been resolved but you never did report back regarding WAP vs ISP. Earlier this month I had a long layover at O'Hare and ran into the same issue - slow, slow, and slow (26 down, up was norm), but that was on 3G, switched to EDGE and it was good to go. Not only was this on my Tilt, but aircard as well. Network issue, not Tilt. Hence why a quick speed test between 3G/EDGE helps answer the question...

My Internet Connection Has Problems

Alright Guys My ISP is Clearwire and i have the no preset download cap and 1mb upload cap. Know its satellite but on my modem i have usually 4 out of 5 bars.
I Live in Fort worth and on speedtest.net it thinks Dallas server is closer haha.
My speed test 1 Dallas Server i live in Ft. Worth
My Speed Test 2 Oklahoma Server
My Speed Test 3 Ft. Worth Server
My problem is when i play black ops on my ps3 i usually get 1 to 2 bars and im hard wired into router and it says i have NAT type is strict or moderate. shouldn't it be open seeing how im hard wired into router?
What can i do to not have this issue? my only options for internet are att and clear and i had att and it was worse than clear. could it be issues with my settings on my computer? any help is appreciated
Also when i actually go and download files i never hit that speed the highest i can hit is 700KB/s and when im supposed to be getting 3 to 6MB/s

Have a look at your ISP Terms and Conditions and their own forums if they have any. Otherwise find forums specific to broadband. It's possible you have a technical issue... it's equally possible that your ISP throttles certain traffic.
If you are getting a certain speed using speedtest, but less with other things, it might point to throttling. What downloads have you tried to test this? Try a simple http download like a file from Google Docs for instance. You may find this running as fast as your speetest result, while bittorrent traffic could be slow.
You should contact your ISP too and see what they have to say about it.

Okay i have contacted them and their retarded to say the least they told me to turn my modem in a circle are you kidding me i did everything they said and nothing ever works. and when i download anything it averages around 300-500kbps

Have a look here:

Maybe there's something there that can help. I'm seeing a lot of Clearwire hate around. Any other options in your area?

[Q] Three UK "Tethering Block" by-pass??

I'm on 3 paying £34/month for "all you can eat data".
I can tether (wi-fi hotspot), but as soon as I attempt to download a torrent it just cuts off my download and I need to reset my mobile data to get anything working again. (this happens when downloading a torrent on my phone also)
I can download through tethering but it seems to be capped at 100kb/sec for ROMs, etc from Safari.
Is there any way to by-pass this? Or will I have to just pay the £5/month extra?
I'm rooted, FWIW...
Thanks

Your on 3, on 3G, which is max 20mbps (mega bits) divide that by 8 to get your true download speed. Which is about 2.5MBps (Megabytes) your only getting 100KB (Kilobytes) that's crap.
What I would do is try your phone on a speed test in different places, so outside. In the city, at the shops etc. See what speeds you get, 3 is an awful network in all honesty. Chances are your only going to get about 7 -8 mbps (max) (megabits) meaning a download rate of 0.93MBps (Mega bytes) which is a lot more than what you have reported, speak with 3 and see what they say, just take a DEEEEEEEP breathe before phoning them, their customer services is utter #%%##%%#£
hope this helps
PS: unless you have made 3 aware of you tethering, they can and will block your tethered device, if you plan to hammer your connection, you will probably want to let them know, saying that I have a friend on 3 who hurts his connection daily and for a few years still hasnt been blocked. Yet another friend of mine got blocked for tethering his iPad for simple browsing.

Well, I get an 'H' connection 95% of the time, I'm usually getting around 9 -11mbps when I do speed tests - it's only when I tether to my laptop or download a torrent it gets sh*tty.
When I first got the phone a few weeks ago I downloaded a 2GB torrent on my phone with its mobile data connection with speeds up to 1.3Mb/sec, it finished in no-time, they've probably had this flag up and just capped me at 100kbps or something, as well as cut off torrents completely.
I just assumed all-you-can-eat would have included unlimited tethering - apparently not... But they are still letting me tether although it's not on my plan - for now, which is pretty cool.
Just came here to ask if there's a root app that would let me by-pass their restrictions before I pay the £5/month. :fingers-crossed:
I know, I've been with 3 before - I prefer a stress ball when I'm on the phone with them...

Three filter all p2p connections on there network it's called traffic filtering and it is pretty aggressive, they do this to increase the overall network speed so it doesn't get bogged down with everybody torrenting.

No app will allow you to pass three's traffic filtering, it's much the same as slowing speeds down at peak times so the network doesn't get stressed and slow down.
I'm pretty sure the £5 per month tethering bundle wouldn't help your downloading speeds while tethered either as the traffic filter still applies it just allows you to share your internet connection with other devices without breaching your terms and conditions within the contract.
Edit: You could try an app called Orbot (a port of Tor) which helps hide your traffic and see if that helps.

Thanks for this seems to be working fine now - downloading file speeds around 700 - 800 kbps. I will probably hardly ever use it but nice to know it works if I need it to...

I have the issue here in HK, the easiest way to bypass this is by setting up a VPN service. Once all your network traffic is going through the VPN tunnel, 3 won't be able to filter anything, as all they would see would be VPN traffic. :laugh:

Yes they can, but realistically, they won't.
VPN is used for all sorts of different things (business and personal), and so, there is no way they can block all VPN traffic without causing a PR disaster.
To the ISP, all VPN traffic will look like VPN traffic, they can't distinguish it between p2p VPN traffic and say Youtube VPN traffic.
Also, there is more than one type of VPN protocol, so blocking all of them will again be pretty difficult as well.

If you got a android device. On playstore theres a app called orbot. I use it with torrent downloads as i had same problem as you. With orbot. Neverget a tether warning and need to reboot

It means you have low bandwidth. Something on your network is hogging your internet resources. Stopping that porn download usually helps! lol just teasing.
I had this problem when my pc started uploading music to google play. I'm guessing my pc was hogging the network. I bumped my phone up the list of Qos services in my router so it cleared it up. I couldn't find a setting in my phone that would let me turn off the alert.

I play call of duty ghosts on my 360 online all the time and never had it pop up. I only noticed it when I was uploading 7000 songs to google play. And it only uploads 2 songs at a time!! It's not the routers fault we're getting the warning. It's our download/upload speed overall from our internet provider. The only way it could be a routers fault is if you have your device set low on Qos priority.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Isn't there a wifi issue with the Note 3? I've been getting that message daily for the last week even though no Internet usage is occurring and my speed is very high.
It's very annoying. For example, it can't stay connected to the router at work at all. It never could actually, ever since I purchased this device. It disconnects immediately after telling me it's unstable which it says the second it connects to the router, even though the connection and signal are excellent. It never happened with the Note 2 at either location, home or work.
I wouldn't be so quick to blame your connection, bandwidth usage or router settings. Think back, did this ever occur with your previous device? I bet the answer is no.

check your phones wifi setting. setting>wifi>menu>advanced i unchecked auto network switch and it doesn't show the notice

I have this problem atleast once a day even though this is the only device on my network and it lasts about ten minutes each time. I cracked out the note 2014 and checked speed while my phone refused to connect because network is slow and wouldn't ya know 12Mbps down 3 up with no probs connecting. Ran into this on the 2014 stock with adblock+ running. Disabled it and no probs since. Wonder if the adblock in xnote is causing this. Anyone else rommed with some type of adblock that is or is not having this problem? Need info to find out. Thanks.

Hmm I am rooted with an ad block in place. I'll disable it when I go to work and see what happens.

I remember getting that annoying message early on, around thanksgiving, so it stopped quite a while ago. I was thinking, WTH, I never got this from my other phones.

I don't have adblock installed on my GN3

I've had the sane issue, but it is now fixed. I originally had GPS issues with my Note 3 and finally decided to replace it at an AT&T service center. The replacement I got had a functioning GPS, but was having the same WiFi issues as the OP. I got on the phone with AT&T and Samsung and after 2 more replacement phones, I was about to give up.
In desperation, I called my ISP (Uverse) and they suggested I change my WiFi channel to a fixed channel rather than auto and it worked. It is clearly an issue with the WiFi chip in the newer Note 3's but the workaround worked for me. I set it back to auto channel and it failed again almost immediately. Apparently every time the channel on my router changed, the connection was deemed unstable.

[Q] Tethering issues - Update

I have a bit of an odd issue. Tethering with WiFi Tether Router app from the stop has been working until last week. Both LTE and 3G. Then last week I had the infamous 3G issue. I did a factory reset and when that didn't work I tried a profile update (I know probably backwards). After the profile update 3G works great. However, this week when I tried to tether things went south. It connects fine to the AP, you can do a dns lookup and it succeeds, Skype connects, torrents work great, but you can't get to any websites at all. Tethering with 3G works fine other than the fact that it's slow. I have tried on stock rooted by Capt, Bad Boyz, and CM. All of them worked last week, but none of them work this week. Fabio from the tether app suggested I look at the APN settings and make sure that default,supl,mms,dun were all set up as APN types. When I took a look in there only default and hipri were set as types. The strange thing is that it seemed to work for a little bit after initially setting that up. Now its back to not working. I can telnet to port 80 on servers that I know are web sites and I get the expected results back, so I know the router is passing port 80 traffic, it just wont allow an actual website to download. I have tried to connect a surface, Windows Phone, and a Windows laptop and all get the same results so I am fairly certain it isn't on the connecting device side.
Anyone have any thoughts or has anyone seen this?
Update ---
This morning when I went in to work I decided to give it a try again because that was the last location where it worked. It appears this issue may be location specific. In downtown San Antonio none of the tethering methods work with 4G but in the far west (SeaWorld) tethering 4G works...

Can you throw up a link about them capping LTE?
I haven't been able to get tether to work for me and I wonder if this is one of the reasons.
