I can play xbox all day on some games with nearly no lag and others I can barely play at all because the lag is so bad. Basically, you'll want to try and stay away from certain games, specifically ones that play on a peer to peer connection unless you're playing in small groups like 4 on 4. Other games like Battlefield 3 for instance that use dedicated servers tend to play pretty well even on slower connections because it removes the middleman from the data connection. 3g was never really meant for gaming or for majorly extended use fort that matter however it can still be done.

This thread was really more of a PoC (Proof of concept) kind of post and I have made no guarantees that things will run well, just that they will run lol. Many factors go into your connection as well, time of day, signal level, network load, number of concurrent connections, physical distance to said connections. I'll use ( I know you're on a ps3 but I'm sure you've played halo online somewhere) Halo reach as an example here, change matchmaking settings to best connection and local only that way it will try to match you with low ping players within a shorter distance from you reducing the bounce between different servers to reach one another (see: Traceroute).

As for getting better speed, reduce the amount of internet use going on, sign out of messengers, disconnect your computer (or if running from computer Internet connection sharing close any network processes). You can also try using the 3g turbocharger script that's posted somewhere here on the forums and try changing your PRL. Other than the above tips and points I can't really help you out much but I wish you good luck.
 
Does anyone know how to get this method to work with a Rezound with stock kernel? I can change the kernel if need be. I am trying to tether my Verizon Galaxy Tab 7.0 to my Rezound so i can use the internet to and from work. Thanks.

Do you get a NAT error when you run a connection test?
 
You will need root access? How do i that? I been trying to tether my prevail with my labtop for days now. No luck yet. I even tryed rooting my prevail, with no luck. Frustrating device. I installed pda.net tethering on my labtop computer and my phone. Lol. It look easy on youtube. Go figure! I followed all the instructions that I know of. My computer has windows 7 ultimate a up graded last year from a crappy Vista home version. When I try to connect, my comp says -- Unable to connect pdanet (code9). Then with it, says please make sure SYNC connection to your phone has established. Im like wtf. So I dont how to sync on both, comp and samsung prevail. I do alot making mod computer apps in my day, but never did on smartphone before. Lol I wish it was a windows 7 smartphone like my labtop. It would be nice.
PLEASE HELP ME!

First things first..... you are gonna need to root your device. Use this link below and follow the instructions. If you have any questions post them in that thread. Also, it is a MUST that you install the drivers for the phone first. They are in the FA19 Odin zip. Just click on the rooted version and download it. After you have installed the drivers and used Odin you will have CWM on your phone and you can flash the newer update. It's called FE16 and you can find the CWM zip so you can update. The second link will take you there but use the first link to install Odin before doing ANYTHING!

I've been having some issues with this lately. Back when it was the green logo, I had it working fine, but since it switched to yellow it seems the hotspot notification that used to pop up doesn't anymore.


It will tell me Im connected, but won't load a page. I've been looking for the older versions, and even ent back to beta 6 from beta 14, but its still yellow/no hotspot. anyone else having this?

Lol his instuctions suck big ass. ALOT of stuff he left out. like how to put the file in the Obin Downloader box. its not possible, cause the downloader wont let me accept them after i put them in boxs. WTF!. I did what the instuctions said and wasted more time for nothing. lol i guess he wants to read his mind or something, cause the instruction kindy sucks. Samsung Corp sucks. I wish that i have gotting a Motorola razer.

you should check the stickies up top. [GUIDE][CTmod] Rooting the Prevail for Dummies (written by a dummy) just follow the instructions in the first post (chapter 1) and you will be rooted. Should be enough to run tether.

yeah I ran across those earlier myself. weird thing is, it seems the green version (WIRELESS tether) doesnt have the setup options the yellow version (WIFI tether) does. I'll just keep flashing around roms and hopefully get it working.

When I had my Prevail I used the newest beta and it worked great. Open the setting and in the first option select samsung galaxy indulge, in the second setting choose soft-master. It will now broadcast as a true wifi signal and not ad-hoc. Never had any problems getting it to work. Only issue I had was when I wanted to use my phones wifi I had to reset it by rebooting. :D

Yeah I used to be able to just do it that a couple weeks ago, but have flashed a bunch of roms since then and whatnot then started having the problems.

I went in yesterday and changed the DNS settings and switched to channel 6 and its working for me now.
 
You don't even need to do that. Just go to menu>settings>wireless networks>wifi settings>menu>advanced and set wifi sleep policy to 'never'

It will work even after the screen is off
 
Awwwwwww, why did you fix it, it was funny !!! Grinzzzzzz But OMG, can't imagine a 'wife" that never sleeps....... All the "honey-do's" she would come up with........,
