User agent question

[averagewonder]

Ok so i never really bothered with tethering because I have WI-FI almost everywhere I go but I am going to a freinds house on monday and they have no internet so i figured i could use my rooted S3 CDMA as a hot spot. Anyway I was trying to set it up yesterday and go to the user agent selection in Chrome because thats the browser I use but no matter what user agent I selected the internet was still vey very slow or not loading at all. The only pages that seemed to load was google and gmail. Is there a certain one I am supposed to be using or am I missing something. Also I am using the stock 4G mobile hotspot app that is on my phone I tried using open garden but my phone keeps freezing. I am also running number two rom.

Use the chrome extension "Ultimate User Agent Switcher, URL sniffer" and create a user agent then enter this,

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.34 Safari/534.24

copy and paste that entire thing.

I think using wifi tether for root would be better then using the built in one.

I have it on my wifes cdma s3 and it works perfectly. I also just use a linux firefox user agent.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0

so your browser works as firefox 24 on a linux. besides metro/tmobile can't identify linux computers for tethering (so i heard).

Since android is based in linux without a more indepth ie more expensive scanning they do not distinguish them.
