Nexus S 4g Radio Software update GWK74 - 2.3.7 is a lie. - Nexus S Themes and Apps

The reasons that I wanted this update was the promise of better radio and to get Google Wallet.
The 3g icon is shown all the time now, but speeds are 2g at best on the same places I used to get 2g so, just the icon changed.
Even where I used to be roaming it shows 3g, but the speed, 8 to 80kbps is the average, just like before.
I'm posting links for the new apk's that came with the update plus the old apk for Netflix, the updated one won't let you watch on 2 devices simultaneously.
(I had to remove the "h t t p : / /" from the links because I'm a new user).
Wallet.apk - db.tt/cwXPbOJA
Shopper.apk - db.tt/WQPistv2
Netflix.apk - db.tt/Rif4IF1z
I'm not sure you can just download the apk to your SD and install using a file explorer.
Let me know if it works or not.
Thanks,
Digo.

Of course you can still tether. I did not lose the ability to tether when my firmware updated to the newest version.
Or did you mean tether for free if that's not included in your service plan, which is an entirely different concept?

Yes, that's what I meant, tether for free no more.

Thank you for the advice, I have Wi-Fi tether but it didn't work. It turns on like used to but my computers don't find the signal.
I see that the version u posted is newer than the one I have, will try this one and see.
I'll let u know.

Can't for free, sorry it took me so long to answer.
With android 2.3.4 u can tether for free.

Are you even rooted? lol CM7 and many custom Roms/kernels are available that let you tether natively. Maybe give some more information so we can help you. Thanks for the files though, that was thoughtful.
You can flash another radio or latest radio as well, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078213

Sorry guys, I feel stupid now . I wasn't able to tether with Wi-Fi tether, because I was connected to my home network. :|thanks for all the help.
Wild1z, I will try the cell radio that you posted to me. Tks a bunch

I have this issue too but I have a Motorola Photon. I hear that the PSV only accepts non ad-hoc WiFi connections or something like that. If I switch on my Mobile Hotspot that came built into the OS, then the PSV sees that just fine and connects to it but the internet does not work because my carrier does not allow it. So we basically need to use an app that creates a hotspot just like the phone firmware does it seems. Does anyone know of one? My phone is rooted.
I've gotten my phone to teather my old psp 1000 with the Optimus and softap settings on so I'm assuming this will work for the vita too

Tethering methods

Has anyone found a functional wireless tethering method? Or do any of the roms listed in the development section have tethering enabeled? Ive tried wifi tether several different versions with every setting combination and cant get it to work. Shows devices connected but no internet connection
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Google's WiFi Tether app is a must-get:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Set the Device Profile in settings to LG Optimus S
I leave my Setup Method as 'Auto' and have no problems tethering a number of devices. Many people choose to set theirs to Softap. IMO I've seen no difference between the two so try both and choose which one you think works best for you.
Thanks joey but ive tried that setup and it will show connected but no actual internet. The main device im trying to connect is a wii.

I don't have a wii to test, but I've used the tether for rooted users to connect my computer and Kindle Fire with no issues whatsoever.

My Wireless Tether app was doing that same thing. I think Verizon does something on their end to block it.
You can use "Open Garden" from the Play store. It works. Used it this weekend.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium
Open garden works well. The only problem i could see was if the Wii doesn't like ad-hoc networks as tje tether apps I have seen are all Ad-hoc

Ill give open garden a try tonight and see if its wii friendly

Working Tether without root (not wireless)

The Klink app works great with the HTC one for tethering without root.
It does require you to set it up on the computer you're tethering with, and the phone.
Long time lurker and I haven't hit the post requirement for link posting, just search Klink in the play store.
I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, if so please let the post sink and disregard it.
I just purchased based on your opinion..it's Pretty good ..thanks

It appears you can usb tether with sense too, just need to install HTC sync manager and enable usb sync in the phone settings.
I didn't bother installing HTC sync manager, so couldn't confirm yet. But information seems that it'll work.

I am glad USB tethering works. I have been using EasyTether on my Moto Photon for about 1.5 years without a single problem. very stable.
It's my first time hearing of Klink.... is it stable?

Got working 3G on google edition

Okay guys . After a day of messing around with this Google Edition I finally got fully working data . I was wondering if anyone could tell me the direction to get the roaming indicator off . I'm up loading it to dropbox right not and its taking forever . So if you have suggestions for a different file sharing please let me know.
Did you port this from Verizon's port or the International?
I booted up the Verizon port and have working LTE right out of the gate. Good job on messing around with it. I just wish we had the 4.3 version... Beggars can't be choosers though.

I guess we'll know later
I would love to use the Google version if everything checked out ok. I am not one to tinker with it. But the idea of no bloatware has me almost there... So if anyone figures out how to get it work with no issues that would be great. Where I live we only get 3g so anything above that wont matter to me. Good work btw to you guys who figure this stuff out. Many Thanks :laugh::good:

I downloaded an app called "Lte on off" on that app I change the preferred network mode to Cdma/lte auto prl. If at firat it doesn't work try switching it to another and then back to that. It takes a minuter to kick in. I also had mobile data disabled while I did it and then enabled it, don't know if that made a difference.

First subscribe to hot spot shield elite from Google play store ,it's 0.99 cents a month,turn it on then the tether treV mod.That will do it.the hot spot shield helps to block T-Mobile.
Is that the only way to do it? Darn t-mobile! I could do it fine on my galaxy s blaze on the t-mobile network..

What are you tethering to that sets off the alert?
I tether Gigs to my Nexus 10 with no issues. I'd try using Chrome as your browser on a PC and trying the Spdy and internet speed boost options. They reroute through the chrome servers and it may mask your device type if using a PC

I tether with no problem using native app on Elegancia Rom. I have the unlimited $30 plan that has no tethering included.
