Presently Running Sky Raider 3.0 RC3 - Wondering What The Benefits of Using Wifi Tethering versus Mobile Hotspot...Do Any Of There Incur An Additional Cost ... After All Verizon Gets Paid For UNLIMITED -
Related
I have a rooted mytouch 3g slide running CyanogenMod 7.
This has a built in WiFi tethering application. Will I be able to use this without the $15 tethering option from T-Mobile? Are there any tethering apps I can use and not be charged extra by T-Mobile?
Thanks
I can't think of a way tmobile would know if you are wifi tethering. Go for it
Cyanogenmod 7 nightly oc @ 825
I've got ArayrayMod on mine and been using it works like a charm and tmo hasn't sent me
anything and had my G1 rooted and tethered for months it should be safe enough if no one
has had any issues before I don't why there would be one now.
Allrighty, thanks. I'll try it.
Now that I think about it, I'm on a flexpay plan so I prepay for my service at the beginning of each month, so its not like they can charge my extra
Unlimited 4G data on T-Mobile network for accessing the web, streaming music and HD video, and downloading cool apps—as much as you want. No limits and no overages - 89.99$ a month.
Which for me is only about 5$ more. So it says its not compatible with "Smartphone Mobile Hotspot" Now I assume thats the built in stock option they lock down.. So question is, how does this effect our rooted ways of tethering and wifi hotspot making. Has anyone tried yet? Or have info about this? Thanks.
with that plan you will not be able to tether as for as i know,can they stop you?that i don't know.can they tell? not really sure,but in the past talking to tmobile they can basically tell how much you use is by there a difference in using your phone and tethering...when you tether,there more data usage....but i have the 10 gb data plan which include free tether,also if you get the 5gb plan,that also comes with free tethering...
Well I have the 2GB one atm for the cost (which is still unlimited, just slows down) but yea, orig.. they never had an app for tethering. Seems the S3 has a T-Mobile made app for tethering (Stock rom app) So Id assume using our normal root wifi tether apps.. we should be ok. Like you said, they might know the diff in the bandwidth, then again might not.. Netflix and MobiTV alone can take up alot. Not to mention Youtube in HD. I may have to try this and see what happens. Unless someone has the new plan already. I mean unlimited 4G.. True unlimited.. thats not bad at all.
I know I'm loving T-Mobile right now I'm streaming radio for a whole shift at work downloading roms and all kinds of WiFi stuff.and get this I was already was paying for the 5g data plan so when I called for them to switch me over to the unlimited 4g plan I actually saved $5 off my bill and cause I was throttled by the 5th of September it brought me right out of edge. And yes the t mobile hotspot app redirects any device connected to some T-Mobile web page. But we are good with hotspot app from the play store

Thanks! Great to know. I think paying 10$ more a month for the "ability" (even if not used) for TRUE unlimited is worth it. Lock in and grandfather before they change their mind. Mobile Netflix + Hdmi = Win for one example of travel use.
Do have one stupid question. Anyone know on the Official hotspot app use. If all ports are enabled? Or is it still 80 and 8080 only? Thats the only thing I could see a different on. TMO hotspot might give you more ports access. However I am unsure.
I highly doubt the T-Mobile hotspot is any better than something you can find in the market And if it's just hotspot through the settings, it's the exact same thing.
Tho if I am not mistaken... Wasnt most of the rooted wifi tether apps an "Ad-Hoc" connection vs "Infrastructure" mode? Granted computers and ios seem to handle that fine. However items like PSP, DS, and other consoles didnt like ad-hoc internet connections. Or is that different now? (I ask cause my tablet seems to host in infrastructure mode, while my G1 on its tether app did like an adhoc form)
Not a noob. I am still using up my hotspot data when using wifi tether. i do get 500M per month from T-mobile included. is there any way around T-mobile's hotspot?
Hi T-Mobile-ites!
I'm considering switching to T-Mobile but I have a question about the 2.5gb Mobile HotSpot vs unlimited 4G. I want unlimited 4G hotspot and wonder if anyone is doing this not through the Mobile HotSpot app, but rather through a stand alone WiFi app such as WiFi tether router by Fabio Grasso? Does T-mobile block this form of hotspot?
I'm currently on a grandfathered unlimited plan with another carrier but its pricey. I won't switch to T-Mobile or anyone else if I can't get unlimited hotspot for my laptop, streaming internet video, etc.
Thanks!
I came to tmobile from att from a grandfathered unl plan. They have started instating a 5gb limit on those plans. Truly unlimited for tmo is only 70 bucks plus what ever you are paying for your phone. Say roughly 90. Plus with the unlimited you still get 2.5 of hotspot. I am looking into right now if with a third party app you can get around the Hotspot limit.
Adding tether to my monthly plan is $5 a month. Not a huge deal, but thats 60 a year.
Also, some prepaids offer unlimited data but NO hotspot on those plans.
What are people doing to enable hotspot / tether anymore??

The $5 is no big issue, I just don't want to be throttled. Currently I'm on a Pixel XL running 11 and using the Magisk tetheringenabler with no issues. Hoping my new 6 Pro can accomplish the same.

The heavier users need more than your 15 or whatever gb is given for free or paid ... After that, the speed is throttle... We need unlimited speed and gb

I'm coming from an unlimited Sprint plan. You think I'll still get throttled?

VPN, regular VPN? The best ad blocker I seen is ad guard, but I use VPN. It even blocks ads in games.
Let's try that one. Vpn hotspot is a mess. Pdanet+ with USB is the best as of now, but Im tired of connecting the phone. Lucky patcher needed for this one

I'm not sure if any carriers' "unlimited" is truly unlimited at the fastest speed - more often it's unlimited data, but after some specified amount (such as 15, 20, or 22 GB) of mobile data usage, they'll limit you to 3G or even 2G speeds, depending on the carrier.

Yes, I use SurfShark + VPN tether, works perfectly fine for Cricket. More than 40Gigs of tethering data monthly
TMobile gives you 40 or 50GB of high speed tethering w/ magenta max plan. And unlimited 5G speeds, no slowdowns ever.
