Got this text today, too. Used about a gig of free wireless 4G tethering last night. Schmucks!

AT&T started sending out similar messages to iPhone users who were tethering.

Am I lucky with these speeds? Post your speeds.

The top four are from my house at various server distances. I know I am lucky with the wifi because I only pay for around 15. I never have had los and only saw it on my wife's stock epic touch once. I bought my phone off of ebay and I'm on the eg30 modem. I am afraid to switch with it working so great.

During peak hours I got this, much better than the stock Ek02 which was 0.01mbps down and 0.13mbps up... I don't know what Sprint is doing but my speeds are much better for the past 2 days
By the way I am on EL26 ROM Modem and Kernel. if that matters.
3g - 1189d 709u 138p
4g - 3772d 592u 139p
wifi - 11597d 4092u 30p
idk if thats good or bad at 1AM but it keeps me happy =)

Wifi and mobile data on at same time..?

I never saw this before. .
Connected to my wifi at work, and I got a picture message from my daughter... then the 3g and wifi were on at the same time.

The pxt message comes through 3G that's why both your wifi and 3g are on at the same time.

3g is always running in the background when wifi is on but it will only notify you that its being used when you need that particular service. From what I understand voice calls are also placed through the 3g service but defaults to 2g when there strength of your 3g is not good enough.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers,

^ That's my understanding if it as well.
Not all carriers will make the phone show data activity indicator when receiving mms, but I think it's very common.

every since I've had this plan my hot spot shows usage but I've never even turned it on... it increases everyday too. when I reached out to tech support on 3 different occasions they were stumped, not one of them had answer why this is happening. and on my roommates account, who's on my plan direct show any usage... so it can't be a simple error on how my account is set up.

If you mean what I'm showing in my picture, then don't worry. Your data isn't being used along with your WiFi and this is a known phenomenon (I mean, it's obviously happening to me too). No one has really been able to figure out exactly why it happens (to my knowledge).

I get it, too. Happens a couple times a week around the same time in the evenings. Doesn't seem to affect my data usage.
The AT&T visual voice mail app does this when you use it. It seems to always get its data from the cell network even when wifi is available. It's possible that other AT&T apps do likewise.

This isn't the cause because I've had Visual Voicemail disabled since updating to 5.1.1.

AOSP signal & WiFi icons in status bar?

Not a fan of the broken lined signal or WiFi icons. I much prefer stock Android's filled out white icons. Any simple way to fix that? Thought I saw a screenshot where someone had theirs setup like that, but can no longer find it.
I have never seen a wifi signal before, i have unlimited data so no need for it. Send a pic

Sorry for bumping this old thread but can anyone give me information on how to do this?
Just got my HTC 10 the other day and seems I'll be needing to root this phone to get rid of some minor issues.
