[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Sounds like your local LTE strength is weak. That will indeed kill your battery.

Most places I go, I get decent signal strength and at least 10 Mbps. Battery life is fine unless I get stuck in a dead spot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fadetoblack2104:
My home town (Jefferson City Missouri) just turned on LTE at the beginning of the month. I average about 10Mbps down and my fastest has been about 25Mbps down. Battery life is slightly less than HSPA+, but not much worse.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
It depends on the location. LTE is suppose support more connections effectively. However, a tower could be down. If you are getting different speeds in different locations then it ma lay be the tower. Also, you said you live 40mins away. That plays a factor. I live 45mijs away from Nashville, but that is because the drive is on the interstate going 70, not like down the street.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr1960:
In Melbourne Australia Telstra LTE is great.

Get around 30 mbps inbound and 18-20 mbps outbound.

Signal strength is 4 - 5 bars and battery drain is pretty much the same as with HSDPA
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yup, def sounds like OP is in a fringe reception area. I often get over 20 Mbps on LTE, and sometimes over 30 Mbps (depending on work or home location), and battery life is very good (often get close to 48 hours with low usage). But the LTE coverage in my area seems very good.

LTE has also done wonders for the data connection at my house. I'm almost always on WiFi at home, but when I've had to fall back to cell network data, it was absolutely awful on HSPA+. On HSPA+, I was getting really slow data speed, 1 Mbps at best, and often a fraction of that, with frequent dropouts just trying to browse webpages. Now on LTE, its rock solid and the speed is excellent (not as good as at my work, but over 15 Mbps).

Everyone's experience is going to be different, depending on location. Some people actually get comparable or even higher speeds on HSPA+, and better battery life. But they are probably not in good reception areas.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Let's not forget building structures, population, and weather. There is a lotbof factors that play a part in reception. I did a speed test on HSDPA plus, and I got 6mb up and 3 down. I haven't done it on LTE yet. But the speed seems faster than my WiFi when I do travel to Nashville.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RollTribe:
If I'm not mistaken, HSPA doesn't go that fast. Sounds like you got your test in megabits not megabytes. There's eight megabits in a megabyte.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
I was on my phone, and did not feel like going for the "+" logo. As you can see it says "HSPA plus." Also, I have the app set up to show MB, not MiB.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
I have LTE turned off and i've noticed i get atleast an hour extra of screen time due to this.

Still am able to stream pandora on my hourly commute.

AT&T LTE is on and off in my area. I think they're testing it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RollTribe:
Alright, I just thought the max HSPA+ could go was 42 Mbps which is just over 5 mBps
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sinco54:
I'm on att in Portland Oregon area. LTE everywhere and screams, connection is far quicker down and up on LTE vs my home broadband WiFi , even out does my laptop streaming Netflix...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrlatta:
I just got lte where I live in Alabama and I'm getting 25 down and about 7 or 8 up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kotchishm:
I live in Arlington, VA 3 miles from DC and I'm getting 22 down, 10 up. My battery life is great on LiquidSmooth 4.2.2. You must be just a little outside the LTE coverage area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostinBen:
This may be a dumb question, but coming from the Inc2 and its Gingerbread/Sense 2.1 keyboard (which I like a ton more than this one, mind you). How the hell do you add words it doesn't know to its dictionary on a whim? On my aforementioned Inc2, I could just press the red-underlined word and it would auto-add it to the dictionary. I notice I can highlight it but all this stuff comes up and no seems to just add it to the dictionary so I don't have to keep redoing it over and over again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morganblackstone:
Does anyone here use the att mnvo Net10? I'm looking to switch out from tmobile and straight talk is out of the question now :( how is the service? How is the customer service? How was the porting time?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
Data is completely useless for me, so is their customer service. The only way to speak to anyone is to send them an email and wait for them to call you in a day.I hold a signal just fine and have tried all the apns I can find but its impossible for me to even get close to my 1.5GB limit when I can't even load a web page or refresh my weather. Gophone was much better for me and that's what I'll be going back to. I've heard gophone has less coverage than post paid att contracts, but I can't notice any less coverage where I am. I should note that these are only mine and my wife's experience, it might work awesome for you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morganblackstone:
Ugh why couldn't straight talk just be available instead! Would make life so much easier!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
I was in the same boat. Att's gophone isn't bad if you are ok with using VoIP if you use more than 250 mins. If you find something else that works really good for you, I'd love to know, just so I have some usable options.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fataldesain:
Well my experience was the opposite I think att sucks in Miami, dropped calls and data is slower and now you have a data cap no thanks. Only problem I see with T-Mobile and this is even on my postpaid is data is fast but sometimes you try to connect to something and it just never goes and times out. CS told me its because whenever someone requests internet you get pushed to the back of the list and best thing is to turn data on and off again. It sucks I know but att is worse in my experience and way better than sprint.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morganblackstone:
I appreciate the input... Here in new Haven ct att is awesome though, which really influences my decision... I love the T-Mobile speeds but the coverage is garbage at best...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HumanXv2:
St and n10 are owned by the same company I hated both of them so I went to tmobile
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
I'm seriously jealous of you tmboile guys, I was with them for 5 years and loved em, there's no coverage here though
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morganblackstone:
I am doing this because i have seen many negative reviews for NET10 and would like to share my experience...Just ported over from the T-Mobile $30 plan to the net10 $50 unlimited plan for both my lines last night at around 6pm. Bought the sims at best buy for $15 (3 pack - 2 at&t, 1 micro and one regular, and one regular T-Mobile one) and the unlimited for two lines card ( I believe it was $90 there)... ported over my lines and took all of a half hour to port... Had to call customer service a few times with questions (once was my fault as I accidentally used the T-Mobile Sim instead of the at&t Sim) and they were super helpful. The service is fantastic, not one dropped call or dead zone and I'm getting 2-3 Mbps, which is a fine trade off from T-Mobile. I could get 12 mbps with T-Mobile but never had any service indoors.

I give net10 two thumbs up so far... Will update with any new info or bad news.

Edit: I would also like to say that I traveled the northern corridor of CT today with a branch out to Bristol and almost full bars HSPA the entire time... My battery is in heaven.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eeeeeeeeek:
So I know there are quite a few threads out there about wifi tether. The general concensus is that WiFi Tether is the best app to use, however I've found that very particular settings are needed to get this to work. While I am not a dev and have not had sucess in getting this app to work on our phone. I thought I would start a thread for those who have had success using the application in hopes that they could share their settings with the rest of us so we can take advantage of 4g as it continues to roll out. I have also tried Barnacle and not had any success either.

I found this on another thread, it was a couple pages deep so I'm reposting here, please swing over to other thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2138144&highlight=wifi+tether&page=2 #13 and give jdock a thanks for his fix. This works, but there is currently a bug in JB that only allows one tether session per boot. Once you disable wifi tether, it will not work again until you reboot the device

TY jdock

Try this:

device profile = generic ics/jb (wlan0)

setup method = netd-ndc (master)

wifi driver reload = checked

enable wifi encryption = unchecked (you can enable it later when it's working unencrypted)

enable access-control = unchecked (you can enable it later when the basics are working)

Now, when I first started with this app, my devices would connect to the AP but then give up because they couldn't get a dhcp address. I found that if I went into the 'change lan' menu and picked a different lan, that it started working (I currently use 10.10.3.0/24).

If you can't get it working, I came up with another method you may be able to use that does not use any app (I have the at&t model but it's probably the same). Basically you turn off wifi, then run a few commands (as root) that bring the wifi interface back up without disabling mobile data. It will connect to your local wireless lan as if you had enabled wifi. Then you can run a socks or http proxy and point your other device at it (easy if you're wanting to tether a pc, maybe not so easy if you're using something else). I haven't tried yet to see if it will route between the networks, which would mean you can just manually change your default gateway to your phone's wlan address and have all traffic go through it.

Anxiously awaiting

I hope you get some answers. I haven't been able to get this app to work on by GNex on JB 4.2.1 OR 4.2.2 using 4 different ROMs. The app doesn't seem to have been updated in many months, and I'm assuming that it won't work on JB in any form.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eeeeeeeeek:
I'm on a JB rom now, and it does work. See the directions I posted from another thread in the OP and wifi tether will work. However, once you turn off wifi tether you will need to reboot the phone for wifi and data to function normally.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BBetz:
Even when Wi-Fi tether runs "with errors" it still works... for some reason my phone doesn't heat up as much when I run with errors -- probably had something to do with the Wi-Fi driver that the app reloads.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bruiserman:
My wifi tether setup has no issues with data not working and I can turn it off and on without problems. I've used the phone for calls, texts, and internet after using wifi tether. The only issue is that you cannot turn wifi on after running tether. Once rebooted wifi will turn back on until I use tether again. I'm on a stock rooted JB rom.

Generic ics/jb Wlan0

Netd ndc master

Send Netd max client cmd checked

wifidriver reload checked

Router fix checked

Wifi fix checked

I have access control checked as well but that doesn't matter.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] flukeSG2:
I've yet to be able to get this app working. I've tried these setting before and several other settings to no avail. When I try these, everything but the first item in the log and the last two say they failed. Now it does broadcast it's SSID and I can join the network, but there is no data connection.

I'm on stock Jelly Bean rom. The funny thing is, I used Wifi tether app on Lifeless and Imperium and it worked with a few different settings.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bruiserman:
Check your version. I use WIFI Tether TrevE Mod.

Mine version is 3.2-beta2-modv5 ***synergized***

I had similar issues until I found the right version to use. I never got regular Wifi Tether to work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] flukeSG2:
You got a link to that version I don't see it in the thread with all the other versions. All I see are versions dated 11/20 or 11/22, no beta's or anything called synergized that I see.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bruiserman:
I had the apk file somewhere, I'll look for it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bruiserman:
Send me a pm, I found the apk.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bruiserman:
Try this one.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] flukeSG2:
Thanks I'll let you guys know if it works.

Edit: Nah, still doesn't work with that copy with all the settings checked in the OP. Everything fails still.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

By Changing some settings I can get everthing to work EXCEPT for the Nat Rules, that fails still. If someone can tell me how to fix that perhaps I can get this to work. Seems though the Nat Rules keeps my laptop from detecting the new network I made.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eeeeeeeeek:
Glad to see other people are able to contribute. I'm not a developer so not much I can do except dig around other forums and see what helps. I'm using Imperium Initiative v2.0.1 with wifi tether, with the settings in my op. Maybe there are some adjustments in imperium/lifeless that cause this to work. I will try the file posted and report back to see if I can re-enable wifi after disabling tether.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eeeeeeeeek:
BUMP!

Bump!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] estacy:
This one works for me with these settings:

Generic ics/jb Wlan0

Netd-Ndc (master)

Send Netd max client cmd - checked

Enable WiFi-Encryption - checked

WiFi-driver reload 2 - checked

Enable Access-Control - checked

(If this is checked the first time the client connects, you have to grant it access from your phone. You'll notice a new icon on the top of your phone where all of your running program icons are. When you see it just pull down the list and select it and check your client and then hit apply)​

Routing fix - checked

Hope this helps
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
something probably worth mentioning on this, I'm currently on Lifeless 14, and the connections optimizer was screwing with this app. I turned it off and it worked like a charm.

Not of concern to anyone AOSP/AOKP/CM/PA but for stock/lifeless/imperium(i think) this is worth looking into for some folks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] greenmansofla:
These settings worked for me using the Stock Odex JB 4.1 rom. and the TrevE mod version below. I had to reboot first after installing the apk, and reload the binaries.

Well since it seems the tethering problem hasn't been remedied yet (touchy and have to restart), has anyone figured out a way to get around sprint's throttling? Unfortunately I for the life of me can't get my MSL, and also unfortunately I hate using the phone to call sprint. hrm.

There are plenty of tutorials about theming, but generally, the easiest way is to replace images in the drawable folders in zip. If you want to change color or something that's not picture then you have to decompile apk, edit xml-s and recompile and sign.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] nikbedwell:
Hi, i've had my XDAII from O2 for 3 weeks now and have a few questions.

This morning when I woke up the XDAII's power/charge light was 'red'. According to my O2 manual, it's 'amber' when charging, 'green' when fully charged, and 'green flashing' when phone is on.

I pressed the Power Button and the XDAII sprang to life as usual, no apparant problems (ie no error messages or anything).

Any clues what red signifies, have searched but not found any answers yet.

Many thanks in advance.

PS device has latest O2 UK ROM (v1.60.50).
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] HageM:
it means you missed a call.

i found it to be an extremely good addition over the XDA, in that you don't have to turn your device on to see if anyone called you. You'll also see a phone+exclamation mark on your taskbar. The red light will disappear when that icon is clicked.

I'm not sure if this also happens when the caller does not transmit their number.

so:

Green non-blinking = on cradle, fully charged

Yellow non-blinking = on cradle, charging

Green flashing = device on

Red flashing = missed call
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
Adding to this, it is not set up by default to flash red when you have received an SMS or mms.

But you can change this behaviour from the Sounds and Notifications options on the device.

And this is much more handy, in that you can then send a text to a friend, switch your phone 'off' (i.e. power off the screen etc), and only a glance at it is necessary later, to know if you have had a reply or not.

Great in noisy environments, or in a car etc.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] tb:
Red Light Stays on even after dismissing reminder

I have my XDAII set up to display the RED light for a reminder (An Alarm). However, if an alarm goes off while I am away from my XDAII then the red light remains on even after I dismiss the reminder. In other words it is not resettign to Green. The only way to reset it is to do a Soft reset. HAs anyone had the same problem or have a solution?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] zabes64:
yah I've had the same problem that my red light stays on after an alarm goes off, really annoying that you have to soft reset or play around in the the notification settings and then it disappears

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Was walking home, and found this on the floor. I've always wated to find a phone on the floor, but this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

All I'm able to tell is that it's a Samsung device, and it may be GSM because of the microSIM slot I see on the back. The back had no battery, no cover, no SIM, the screen is clearly decimated, two capacitive buttons missing (it takes talent to break capacitive buttons) and most buttons are pretty much loose.

I may spend a little money to get this thing fixed up, assuming it even turns on. I planned on getting a battery to test out first, then if it worked, fixing up the phone and keeping it or selling it. Not anytime soon, since I just bought a Nexus 4 while already low on leisure money, but it would be nice.

Floating Stopwatch utilizes the StandOut library to allow users to have a stopwatch or timer on top of other apps. I made it because when running on my treadmill I wanted to watch the watchESPN app but had to lay my tablet on top of the screen on the treadmill that showed the time I had been running.

**Version 1.2:

Free Version sets lets you choose from 2 preset styles, blue text/white bg or green text/black bg. I found the colors chosen to be the best for the things I was using it for.

Pro Version allows users:

customize colors and opacity of text and background

customize text size

have multiple windows open

minimize windows

quick launch shortcuts

**Version 1.2:

5 customizable styles

adjust window size

Change style from window itself (don't have to open the main app)

Hope you guys find it useful. Would appreciate any feedback.

T the can upload the version which shows q and updated it and removed some functions and have to pay
[Android Apps and Games] Acela1230:
What do you mean by shows q?

You aren't forced to pay for the app if you already bought the previous paid version. You just need to have the paid version on your device when you first open the new version. It should recognize it and unlock the pro version of the new app. I still need to implement the backup system so it can save that you paid for the app, so when you download it on a new device without the paid version it will still unlock the pro version. This is why I haven't removed the paid version from the play store yet.

I removed the multiple windows and minimize capabilities from the paid version for now. I did this because it was causing problems with some of the new ways I implement things. I will put the minimize function back in soon (as an actionable notification). The multiple windows I probably won't be putting back in, unless a lot of users request it, because they wouldn't function correctly in the new app.

I also added a few new things to the app to make it run better. Such as the actionable notification, less clutter on the clock window, and timer alarm noise. I hope to add more things and of you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
