When was the last time you turned on 4G?

[Darth Mo]

I know some people out there use it regularly. And there are some people that still don't have it available.

But I'm sure there are some like me that have a launch day phone with 4G available from jump that never use it.

I don't think I've turned it on since September. Partially because of the lag issue that developed, but mostly because quite frankly, I don't need it.

How about you?

About an hour ago. I'm a couple of blocks south of the river just off Michigan Ave. My office is a freakin' vault. 3g not so great here. Our wi-fi barely gets to me. But, somehow 4g works great. I just keep it here on the desk and as it gets low on juice, plug 'er in. Use it daily.

I used it yesterday, was the first time in quite a while because I never had 4g coverage at my office, only home.

Anyway our web crashed yesterday so I plugged in my USB cabled and tethered 4G, 5.5Mbits down, it was good stuff and after a few minutes I didn't even remember I was on a wireless link.

I get 4g in my home. I am really thinking on canceling my ISP since I already do most of my stuff using the EVO. My wife also has an EVO...

Yeah, the rocket scientists at Comcast couldn't get our broadband up for a couple of days over the holiday. I used the Evo to access my account, turn on Hotspot and away we went. 3 computers in the house all running on my Evo.

I admit I don't really turn mine on much, once in awhile just to play with.

The one place I want to use it, for tethering to my laptop, there is no signal.

It sucks battery so much I just don't want the extra speed over that and 3G is actually fast enough for me.

 

[RUSH]

I'm loving my 4G and I can't live without it. Without my 4G connection I wouldn't be able to be on here that much. It allow me to post, and edit things really fast. 3G speed is too slow for me. love to see that icon... Check out the screen-shot below. Ps.4G ddoesn't seem to drain my battery at all.

I am not rooted and I do not have the hotspot data plan. I have no need to spend the 29.95 since I have WiFi at home and work.

That said I would very much like to use my lap top in certain places where there is no unsecured WiFi to make a presentation. How can I tether with a USB cable?

Thanks

Just go to the market and get Easy Tether or PDANet.
Easy Tether works fine and is half the price at $9.95. Pdanet is $23.95 ($15.95 now for a limited time)

I also like Easytether as I like buying directly from the Market, PdaNet has to be purchased from their own site.

EasyTether Free is limited to non HTTPS sites

EasyTether - Android app on AppBrain

I use it everyday it does drain my battery a little faster, but I'm usually charging off and on during the day anyway.

 

[Dave Blake]

Cool,

+1 I actually rarely ever turn it off...

 

[81]

only turn it off in the office since i can't get a signal, even tho i have a window office. but just outside, i've pulled 8 megs.

weird

 

[RUSH]

I'm A Lot less stress when I'm using 4G. I get stressed eAsily, so I leave 4g on at all times.

 

[pretext]

Use it everyday to wireless tether my laptop and ps3(not for gaming though).

 

[Tre Lawrence]

I have turned it on once.

Since I am rooted, I am gonna check out tethering speeds.

 

[Yourdogsdead]

Used it when I was in NYC for Comic-Con and when I went to Hawaii. Other than that, I never use it and have CM6 anyway.

 

[kamtsa]

Never. I am on CM 6.1.2.

Two days ago, to test the 4G signal at my sister's place when their wifi was acting up.

Since I'm mostly in places where wifi is available, I don't often have the need to turn on 4G, especially since it more often than not slows down the performance of the phone, and typically requires a reboot to get the Evo back to running smoothly.
