I am getting great speeds on wifi, regularly above 20 which is what I get on my computers too. It might have something to do with that almost dead battery you had while doing the tests. Try it again when you are charged up and see if that makes a difference.

Here're my WiFi results after 4.2.1
I think it may be your battery being drained but I could be wrong. I was at 53% or so when I ran the test.

@OP I actually don't see anything that would be showing how slow your WiFi is from the given picture I mean if you look tests were carried our on both WiFi and data network. So how are you comparing these figures and what's your usual WiFi speed so people would know what you are talking about.
Also maybe there's some other activity on router or someone is downloading something. Reset router and do the same test again so you can get better results

How can software lower Wi-Fi speeds if that is based on your router. My Wi-Fi is running just fine...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

3 speed test results are hardly conclusive. Your WiFi speed could vary depending on the load on your broadband at different times or because of a bunch of other reasons.

So your speed is slower... on the weekend... on a day most people have off... case closed.

kenyanscott,
Bluetooth Tether is designed to allow you to use the Internet just like WiFi Tether but maybe the Kindle does not like to Tether via Bluetooth.
Let's give you a list to try - first two are WiFi, the last is Bluetooth:
1. WiFi Tether for Root Users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether
2. Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.svtechpartners.wifihotspotdemo
3. Wireless Tether for Root Users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.tether

Ill give them a try and let you know. Thank you

Please let us know if you are unable to download the software to the Kindle. Sometimes you will get an erroneous message about the 'software not being compatible' with the Kindle Fire, if this happens just post a response here and we will get you the software (as long as it is free).

MMS works but not 3G, no 4G in my area to test. But other than that, it looks and runs smooth. I haven't seen any FC's either.

Everything working good for me here. Haven't been in an area with 3G yet. Try changing the data connection in settings to 3G only.

Flashed rom and PA Gapps earlier and restored missing apps+data only via TB. All working quick and smooth (except sound of course) which I can wait patiently for. This is too sweet.
Edit: also, don't have LTE here to check either, but 3g works fine. I'll check MMS in a bit
Edit again: mms working perfect over 3g at least. One thing though, I just noticed... I have no camera? Is this supposed to occur? Was a clean flash and everything.

Is the phone app able to search out side of the contact list like the nexus 5...? (You type pizza and it gives you the number to the closes pizza store)
Is OK Google working ?
Just caught a speeding ticket trying to run home to flash this ROM. ⅔ point on my driver li....

Tether work around for 24A Verizon KitKat leak

I found a tethering work around solution!
This has only been tested on stock Verizon Kit Kat leak. I stumbled upon it by accident... by desperately trying everything i could think of to get tethering working.
Step 1. Follow the directions in this op exactly - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338
Step 2. Open the mobile hotspot app and enable. You will have the message saying provision has force closed. The on/off toggle will then be greyed out.
Step 3. Click on configure below the on/off toggle. Change either the password or the network name. Press save.
Step 4. The app will re associate with the provision automatically and tethering will enable! The on/off toggle will be lit up blue.
I have confirmed it works by connecting devices to the tether network and opening webpages. The only catch is every time you want to enable the tether again you have to repeat steps 2 thru 4. Change something in the tether settings AFTER enabling and provisioning fc's.... the tether will enable every time.
Rock on!

Did you delete the hotspot apk? The provisioning apk and odex file should be deleted but the actual mobile hotspot apk should remain untouched. Also make sure you set the proper permissions on the new provisioning apk before rebooting after you stick it in the system app folder.

Last thing I could think that may work is restoring from titanium backup. Would someone be so kind to send me the titanium backup File of there Mobile hotspot app?

Like a boss! Thanks OP! It was quite annoying restoring an AOSP rom whenever I needed tether.

While hotspot is including in my corporate line with them. I do admit it is one of the best tether applications for tethering. The built in one's seem to lag from LG, even the one on my Sprint LG OG.
But has anyone thought of using an apk with root perms to moves the files and then set perms? Then reboot. I used to do that with certain mods on my OG with camera mods etc.

Hotspot hack?

I'm looking at picking up a Google store nexus 6 tomorrow. And I'm wondering if there is a hotspot hack. I have unlimited data on Metro pcs and want to use the hotspot off that data. Is it possible or is there a Rom maybe with it built in?
Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk

Don't think you need a hack, especially if you have unlimited data. Wifi-Tethering is built in to the OS:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/11/17/how-to-use-the-nexus-6-as-a-wifi-hotspot/
I'm sure there are posts here about it too, this was just the first one that came up with a google search.

right, you can have unlimited data, but tethering is usually charged for, extra. on tmobile, unlimited high speed data customers get 5gb tethering, while tmobile limited customers get unlimited tethering included. but, for when 5gb isnt enough tethering for me per month(im a tmo unlimited customer), then there is a hack that i can use for tethering and tmobile not finding out about it. its fairy easy to find on xda, with a search. but it does exist
you will need root to be able to do it.

I have unlimited lte 6gb of hotspot. When I was on tmobile it was.$70 with 3gb of hotspot. But my s4 had a Rom on it that used your unlimited lte data for hotspot instead of the actual hotspot data.

nexus roms have source that they can use, no hacking needed. so most roms are based on that source. some are also based on cm source and stock btw. anyways, that would need to get hacked into the rom, and i don't think that many are interested in that, the actual hacking.

As long as I'm able to use the hotspot that's all I care about lol

it differs month to month.. sometimes i use less than 5gb, so i dont need to use the hack. and sometimes i can use 25-30gb, which i will use the hack. a few years ago, i used my whole home internet by tethering. but tmobile put a stop to that. then i probably used 100gb+

Nice, on my old s4 I was getting over 300 a month lol. Didn't have cable or internet so I used it for everything. Xbox, two tablets, laptop etc lol

Data isn't a finite resource and I wish everyone didn't do this anymore and feed into the carriers or isps, the correct term is bandwidth hog, but even that term is very loosely used, they paid for access to the network in an unlimited quantity, so I see nothing wrong with them using what they paid for, do I think 200gb on a mobile connection is excessive, absolutely, get a home Internet connection, but am I mad that they're putting their unlimited plan to use, not at all.
