Xbox Live and HTC Evo through Sprint

[stanleyKowalski]

Okay well I tethered my Evo to my 360 to test this for you, Using the paid for mobile hotspot. In a 3g area with 3-5 bars (it jumps but stays at 5 the most).
I tethered playing Halo Reach online. Played for about 3 hours or so with only one connection loss( got a phone call haha) ... But other than that there was no lag and no problems. Just make sure you tell people not to call you

Thanks...just what I needed to hear.

Note that your mileage can and will vary, even depending on the time of day. It is not meant for gaming.

I can also verify that the tethering works fine on Xbox Live. I just spent a couple of months using the rooted wifi tether and pdanet too. I don't have a wifi receiver on my xbox, so I had to tether to my laptop, bridge the connection, and run a network cable to my xbox! Where there's a will, there's a way. And no, Xbox Live uses very little data

If you plan on doing this as a permanent solution, please pay for the hotspot.

Well I pay for the $30 hotspot feature, and i play online woth my ps3. My ping on Warhawk is between 128 and 212. I have no lags and i also stream movies to my Netflix box with no problems.

Wait...what! Folks are using their EVOs to hotspot an Xbox over Live?

I have all this yet don't even try. I figured the latency would be no where near remotely possible to use for online gaming.

 

[Caitlyn McKenzie]

Considering it's not unusual to get 200ms+ ping, that really isn't good for online gaming.

I can confirm i played Halo Reach on 4G tether and it worked quite well.

 

[Raf]

My best latency ever came in at 130ms. Meanwhile, on actual cable broadband, it ranged from 16-35. A farcry to say the least.

LIVE works fine with my Evo on Sprint. Played Reach on it last night.

I have to take mine to sprint as my wifi is having issues. I keep my Evo starpped (lol no really I do) to my back room window to get a 2 bar 4 g signal. But for a while my connection was always 100% or 95%. Now for the past few weeks, its been 32% to 62%. I even backed up my data, did a factory reset, and restored the phone. No go, still same resaults but this times my ps3 is even closer. I put my phone on 3g and get 5bars sitting right next to my system and it says it 85% wifi signal, so i have to take mine back to sprint for a repair. But even on 3g it works very well.
