i've had to revert to my old 4g phone because tethering both wifi and usb is terrible, is there anyway to improve this?

Hello, I'm from Argentina and data connections aren't as cheep as elsewhere. So I use APNdroid to "connect and disconnect" my 3G apn. The connection itself works great after I turn on the phone. But if I use wifi on the N1 and then I turn off the wifi antena the 3G connection never comes back on, even if I don't use the APNdroid and leave it turned on during the wifi usage.
It's simple, 3G works, I use wifi, 3G stops working.
I have to reset the phone to get 3G back on.
Any info or thoughts about this issue?
I'm on eclair 2.1 EPE54B so there's no froyo update for me yet. Don't want to root it quite yet, it's way too new
Thank you in advance!
Nobody has any idea on this issue?
Hi Guys,
So i thought of a couple questions today, after my first proper days use of my N1 (skinned it with BSE so I finally really used it)
If I have a PC, and a Tomato WRTGL router.. and, the PC doesn't have a Wifi card.
Can I tether my Tomato wifi router to my Nexus's ssid?
I mean, I know a wifi USB stick is 12dollars, but I'd like to avoid that.. and I know my ISPs signal cuts out from time to time (and don't want to be using my wifi netbook ...thats worth less than my n1 ..as I've come to realize post-purchase ..to get on the internet).
I figured, since you guys know about Linux and stuff, and possibly Tomato router firmware, it might be a worthy question to pose.
My second question is:
Is there a coles notes version of Battery calibration? I mean, do i just drain it and delete the Davlik cache and recharge?
I tried the HAVS kernel, and while it might be good and all - it does slow down my yuppie wants for live wallpaper and concomitant side scrolling home screen speeds.
After a full days use of GPS and battery reality, I would either opt for a well advised battery re-calibrations scheme or a recommendation just to use a car-dock, OR ..just get a second battery while asking HTC nicely?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Let me understand something. What is that you want to accomplish?
You want to use Nexus as WiFi adapter on your PC? Yes, if you connect USB to the PC, you can. Nexus tethers whatever connection it has, if it has internet from WiFi - it can tether that through USB.
You want to feed the router with Nexus WiFi? You can't, unless you reconfigure the router to be a WiFi repeater.
Cool Jack_R1 thanks for that insight!
I had no clue you could tether via USB. How do I do that?
Same place you activate the wifi hotspot.
I attempted this a while back when my internet went out but gave up cause i didnt want to break the wifi router to router link i had with my printer upstairs. im using dd-wrt firmware on a wrt54g router. its theoretically possible and if i had a g2 with tmo 4g speeds I would probably get rid of my att dsl and just use the phone for large transfers lol

Sweet. TY!
For the battery cal, there is a chip inside the battery. We just found out it has a built in learn cycle to re calibrate it. In addition we are experimenting by raising the voltage and current set points to maximize the capacity. The new changes in pershoots kernel let's you access the batt internal chip to pull all your values.

And since you miss Android why not go back??? I hav WIFI tether, USB tether, led flash light.... only thing i miss is smart dial and that isn't even android, thats all HTC doing.
If you phone is unlocked it only takes 15min to get tether thanks to some great developers here on xda.
Anyone have a working root wifi tether working on the Droid 4 yet?
WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta11 works great for me
nm (see above post)
FoxFi works great, and doesnt require root. I use it all the time. Only thing different from the one posted above is it allows BT tether also, but doesnt tell you when someone logs onto your phone.

So you have 4G sharing with that??
Yes you will have 4G speeds. In my experience with the Google project one which IMO is the best, if your on the move and your tethering from tower to tower and you lose 4G signal, its hard for your phone to re-connect to 4G. It just stays on 3G until you toggle airplane mode then restart tethering. My DROID 2 did the same thing. If 3G signal got really low, it would go to the edge network and wouldn't go back to 3G sometimes.

My personal preference is PDAnet, but for wireless, I second the google projects one.
Does anyone know whether it does active masking like PDAnet? One thing I like about PDAnet is that it is supposed to mask the fact that you are tethering, and it doesn't seem to trip the built-in hotspot indicator (which makes me nervous).
Hello everyone,
A very good 4G coverage recently popped in my house for no apparent reason. I won't say I'm unhappy, because the debit is 23 times better than my poor ADSL2+ (140+Mo/s instead of ~6Mo/s). My subscription allows for 50Go of data per month, which is more than enough for my needs.
I currently use my Nexus 5X and USB tethering to share this connection to my computer (which doesn't have a WiFi card). I'm afraid that having the phone connected (and thus charging) constantly will ruin its battery.
I have the possibility to buy a WiFi PCIe card for my computer. Using it, I'll be able to use the WiFi hotspot and therefore not kill my battery. Moreover, Android Nougat has a quick toggle for WiFi Hotspot and not USB Tethering, making it more easy to enable and disable (would it be possible to make an app to add such an icon for USB Tethering ?).
My question is : which solution is better ? Should I keep using USB Tethering, or will it kill my battery and I should use the WiFi Hotspot instead ? If I should, what kind of PCIE card should I buy, will a 811n be enough or should I buy an 811ac one (considering that the hotspot emits 811ac) ?
Thanks for helping me (and no, the fiber is not coming anytime soon unfortunately)
