wifi tether ready for testing

I have a Sprint USB adapter, so I tested them side-by-side. The biggest factor in speed is always reception (and congestion); the antenna on the Moment is not optimal for high-speed internet access, so that's a factor.

However, from where I sit, my USB adapter can pull 600 to 800 kbit, while the tethered phone can do 500 to 650 kbit right now, which isn't too far behind. The USB device used to be my primary internet connection for the house back before the 5GB limit, and I've seen speeds reliably hold at 1.0Mbit to 1.2Mbit when I lived closer to a tower, so I'm pretty sure the phone can do it too under the right conditions.

nah just need an os that supports cdma and isnt hacky-sacked in

Awesome work tylerl and zefie!

after testing with downloading and stuff it definatley stops transmitting data and will not work again untill rebooting the phone. I cant even download a 30mb file

darn you samsung!

Something is going on that's choking the modem. Once it gets into this state, you can't do anything with the radio -- no data, no calls, you can't even put it into airplane mode. Unfortunately I haven't found anything helpful in logcat or dmesg, though another pair of eyes might be helpful.

The interesting thing is that it doesn't happen if the network client is a process on the phone itself -- you can download as big a file as you want, from what I can tell. So then the question is, what's different about the packets when they come from a tethered computer instead of when they come from the device.

It would be really helpful if we could get tcpdump onto the phone.

If you're talking about the APK, the most foolproof way to do it is download it onto your computer and then use ADB to install it ("adb install c:\foo\bar\xyz.apk").

In theory, you SHOULD be able to download it directly to the phone using your phone's browser -- but you may have to install it using a file manager (not the one that comes with the moment, that hides APKs).

So, in other words, I DO NOT need to have cl14 installed.

Ok, i got it working (without cl14).  I did a speed test through cnet and it was fine (4-500) but as soon as i try to speed test through speedtest.net it passes the latency test (~140) but then the internet freezes up the internet and I believe i have to do a reboot to be able to tether again... 

Phone's built in browser wont allow it.  Copy it to SDcard then use astro.

Man this is the one feature I REALLY want to have back on my phone.  I just tried it with the standard modem with Z07 and tried some streaming audio and the phone locked up after about halfway through a song. 

Hopefully there will be more progress soon on this one.
