Wi-fi hotspot - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using my DHD as a Wi-Fi hotspot using my 3g connection. I have an all u can eat data plan, which I believe means 3 browsing. But a limit on up/down loads. Would this come under browsing?
Any advise is welcome

what do you mean?

this one?
if so: where does it say that you've got a limit on up- and downloads? And what would be the difference to browsing? Opening a website in your phones browser means you have to download the site and all the pictures on that site.

Is that a question?
From your initial post it wasn't clear which carrier you are on or even which country you are from (t-mobile exists in a lot of countries! and not everybody looks at signatures and knows what "t-mo" stands for) and "all-you-can-eat" is a term the 3 network actually uses. And since you wrote "3 browsing"....
however:
this should answer your question:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2011/jan/14/t-mobile-data-explanation
As i understand it, they do a deep packet inspection to see what content you are trying to download. But judging from that interview most of the people at t-mobile don't even know themselves how it works.
That means that you should be able to use your notebook (or whatever you need the hotspot for) in the same way you use your phones browser and as soon as you hit the 500mb the network will stop sending you the things, that need to be "downloaded".
Worst case you will only see text on websites since pictures need to be downloaded too, but i guess you have to try that for yourself.
You should wait until the last day of the month and then start streaming videos on youtube. Once you hit the 500mb and see what gets blocked it would be nice if you could come back here and post your results.

Sorry should of put !! Anyway I upgraded so will carry on using it as a hotspot (4 my ps3). Wait to se if they send me the text. Will see if I can hit the limit, and report what happens.
Thanks

[Q] Is tethering free after root?

So i just rooted my girlfriends Dinc, an she wants to kno if wired tethering would be free? I already put wireless tether on for her. (Our laptops wireless is on the fritz)
Sent from my GSBv1.7-ERIS using XDA App
You don't have to root to do wired tethering just use PdaNet (free version only has wired tether paid app ads bluetooth). You need PdaNet also installed on the PC for it to work. And yes the tethering is free but Verizon can still track your usage and may throttle your connection if you start to use too much data.

Yep. The anti-throttling mods some people post on here don't do squat either :/
Yeah they throttle heavy users....I personally never noticed a big decrease until I hit around 5gb from Pandora, tethering etcetera.

Root not required for free mobile hot spot. Yes if you want to use the wireless tethering app you will need root. To do without root you can change the profile settings in epst to bypass the way VZW checks for tethered usage and use the stock app by doing the following;

Have not tried Wireless Tether with 2.2 since I can use the 3G Wirelecc Hotspot that comes with 2.2. All you need to do is this:
1. On your phone, bring up the dialer and dial ##778. This will load EPST.
2. Select EDIT.
3. Enter 000000 for the password.
4. Select SECURITY.
5. Select the username that has [email protected].
6. Edit the username to read [email protected] (delete "dun.").
7. Click the back button to return to the list.
8. Select M.IP DEFAULT PROFILE.
9. Repeat steps 5 and 6.
10. Click on MENU and select COMMIT.
You will not be charged for its use.

For checking email and occasional browsing they will never notice as it just shows up to Verizon as if the phone was doing it. My typical usage never exceeds 2 GB per month. But occasionaly I do stream music from the siriusxm android app and it uses a lot of data. If I'm listening to it I can easily go over 6 GB per month. At one point I was using it daily and I called Verizon at that time to upgrade my phone and the rep checked my account and told me I had extremely high data usage. So I cut back.
Just to be clear. after rooting, can the stock HTC sense Rom does the 3g hotspot become free? Or is the free tethering another thing? I'm confused.
i believe unless you make those epst changes, you would need wifi tether from the marketplace (or other sources)

Can't "Request desktop site" in the browser...help

Hey guys like the title says, I can't request desktop sites. Every time I do request it I get a T-Mobile page telling me to make my phone a mobile hotspots. I usually don't oaks around the forums and search for my answers but I just couldn't find one this time haha. Anyone gone through this and fixed it? Thanks in advanced.

Just got it yesterday... it sucks. I'm hoping someone figured it out.
I searched and found something about T-Mobile just looking at uag string or something like that and assume its tethering because of that.
I think martinokaj (or close to that) mentioned it and for him it just left couple weeks later. He tried contacted T-Mobile but it didn't help at all.

Stock browser?
Sigh... they're still doing this.
Basically, T-Mobile rudimentarily checks to see if people are tethering by filtering user agents. They assume that if you're on the phone you'll always have a phone UAstring, and if you're on the desktop you'll always have a desktop UAstring.
Obviously this isn't true... this is the stock ICS browser and you can effectively change your UAstring to get desktop sites. Many other browsers in the market do it too.
Basically you can try to call and ***** them out. I dealt with this mid last year on my G2 because they started spamming me with this on the stock browser and my computer. I can change my UAstring manually on the computer (with a spoofer on Firefox) but its not so easy to change the UAstring and still get desktop pages on the phone.
Long story short of me talking to them and going through many levels/days of support, they claimed to not understand the problem/not be aware of this issue. Even with sending them screenshots of the problem on my phone. Eventually I just dealt with it and a few weeks later it just stopped.
I'm not sure of any other way to deal with this honestly. I suggest you either just wait it out and let it stop, or call in and get several levels up in support.
If you want, you can dig up a thread in the G2/DZ forum where another user and I got to the bottom of how they're doing this. But the basic thing is they think you're tethering for having a desktop UAstring.

android tethering isn't set up to route data through an alternate APN (like iPhones) when the phone is in tethering mode – meaning AT&T would actually have to scan packets to determine whether or not you’re tethering. i dont know if they're taking the time/money to do that. i wouldnt do anything beyond some web browsing and email (like music/video streaming). you should be all set, regardless of whether or not your tablet and phones use the same rom.

It really depends. Someone here said they got a notice for connecting to their car via Bluetooth, but from what I've seen, the majority of people who get caught are using larger than average amounts of data via tether.
Some have said they got caught by just doing basic tasks, but I have been tethering for a year or two with my iPhone and now my gs3, and have never gotten a notice. Even played Xbox live a few times through my iPhone

Tethering: (Updated: 08/15/2013) Tmo Using More Elaborate User Agent Detection

Ok, here is my final conclusion and we can hopefully put this to rest, at least for some but hopefully many. Kal-El7 and myself spent quite awhile trying to figure out why tethering has suddenly stopped working for so many people. This may or may not be a solution for you in particular but it's good knowledge for those of you being affected or would be affected by this.
It appears T-Mobile has greatly expanded its detection of browser user agent clients. I can't seem to type just anything in a browser user agent spoofer. I used to be able to. Now it seems you must have a legitimate browser or you get the upsell. This has been my problem as of late and we couldn't figure out what was going on until we started ruling everything out. Oh, and make sure you don't use any Google web pages when testing user agents because apparently Google pages don't trigger the upsell page to appear (I think this has since changed and you may get the upsell). You can visit the following page for a comprehensive list of user agents:
http://useragentstring.com/pages/useragentstring.php
This is the string I use as my agent in Firefox using the Add-on User Agent Switcher 0.7.3:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1)
In Chrome, install the extension 'User Agent Switcher' and then select 'Internet Explorer 7' as your user-agent.
Update: 07/20/2013
All this time and only now do I realize I didn't even mention what ROM I'm using. DOH! I'm using Tweaked 2.3 (as of 08/15: Tweaked 2.4.1) with default kernel and no additional mods or tweaks. You can use the built in tethering but I prefer to use a tethering app for additional features not available stock.
Update: 08/15/2013
I've had requests about the tethering app I use so I'll outline exactly what app I'm using and what settings I use:
ROM: Tweaked 2.4.1
App: Android-wifi-tether 3.3-beta2
URL: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com
If you're using Tweaked 2.3+ ROM (and probably other ROMs). DO NOT change APN options within Android settings as it is not necessary.
Make sure these settings are checked or unchecked in the tethering app settings:
Change Device-Profile = Samsung Galaxy S3
Change Setup-Method = Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Netd Max Client Cmd = Checked
WiFi-driver reload = UNCHECKED
WiFi-driver reload 2 = Checked
Routing fix = Checked
You can change other settings to fit your needs. If you discover anything useful while experimenting with the settings please feel free to post your results.
Thanks to Kal-El7 for all his help in ruling everything else out in order to come to this conclusion. I'm forever grateful that he took as much time as he did in helping me.

i found that tether stopped because of roll out of LTE in my area. so i had to use fast.tmobile apn instead of the epc.tmobile.com and change my apn type from IPv4 to IPv4/IPv6 and that was all.
here's my post on tweaked thread

Funny things is that I can trigger up sell text message without tethering and with wifi OFF. When I download videos from YouTube using tubemate and choosing high resolution videos to be downloaded, I receive up sell sms and data being blocked for use with tubemate, but still works with "regular" YouTube app.

Yes, I'm sure. I can use LTE while wifi tethering just fine as well. I'm using Tweaked 2.3 ROM and I do not need to turn on the tethering apn options in settings. I am using the latest android-wifi-tether for root app found here:
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2.apk
As long as I properly spoof my user agent I'm good to go. Been watching Hulu in HD on my desktop and used up 30gig over LTE. Life is good.

Tethering stopped working for me since LTE became active in my area. However, I can still tether using the User Agent spoof, but I never like using it because it restricts me from streaming netflix on my browser. The only way I can get around this is by rolling back to 4G APN settings and changing Network mode from LTE/4G/3G/2G to 4G/3G/2G. Now my tethering is working just fine.

I am not quite sure why this is so constantly debated.
The fact of the matter is that changing your user agent does ABSOLUTELY nothing to hide your tethering. When you transfer data (more specifically data packets) over ANY network, those packets have very distinct packet headers. ALLLLLL they need to do is look at those packet headers and see the peculiar and distinct format for an uplink, and you are caught.

T-Mobile cant see a single thing I do on either my phone or when tethered. All, and I do mean ALL of my data ( headers and data ) , runs into my home server over an rsa encrypted tunnel Granted, I dont need to tether often, but I do like my data privacy. Apparently T-Mobile is allowed to look deep into your data packets per the contract you signed with them. Doesnt that make you feel good? I mean ... if any of you are like me, I use my phone for online banking, RDP / VNC into government servers, FTP / RDP / SSH into my home servers, managing my personal website , etc.. Security is a big issue.
I also highly recommend against using public proxies as they will have full access to anything you do. It takes about 10 minutes to set up a home tunnel provided you are even the least bit tech savy ( which if you are on XDA and using roms, means you have some skills ). Granted you will want a halfway decent home ISP. The dedicated server can be as old as a p2 with 256Mb ram. Doesnt take much.

Very nice. Security is always a good thing. Odd though that if they can see all that, why aren't they contacting me or sending me a threatening letter when I tether with no tunneling or VPN use? You would think after 200 gig over the last several months they would have said something to me by now. I mostly watch Hulu and Netflix in HD and that adds up in GB's quick. I very occasionally use BitTorrent but use BTGuard to encrypt its use. Still, no issues except for the occasional upsell page when I have a user agent spoofing issue. I think they use very basic detection schemes but elude to something more advanced. Proof is in the pudding as they say.

[q] tethering usage amount

Longtime customer of TMobile and really fed up with the entire data issue. I still can't believe they were able to get away with the "unlimited" throttle back which was worthless when it happen. I admit to a little resentment.. Anyhow I digress. My current plan allows for unlimited data on my phone and 6.5GB Hotspot (tethering). I do not listen to music, or watch videos on my laptop the device being used for mobile hot spot. However last few months I max out. This month I received a text on the 4th I had used 6 and less the an hour later another text used 6.5, so I bought up to the 8 and 3 days later received text saying I had used the 8. Its not possible I am only sending emails and simple web browsing on laptop. ALL DOWNLOADS, software, music, videos, etc are being done on my phone. I went round and round with TMobile and all they can tell me is the total amount used. How can I tell amount being used on laptop?? And if the CSR at Tmobile cannot give me those amounts individually am I suppose to blindly trust them? I DON"T. Something is not right here.. can anyone give me any suggestions or advice?
This is a really hard thing to diagnose.
Are you running a custom rom?
On staock rom the phone is setup to push all data when tethered through a specific APN that is different from what your phone uses for it's data.
That is how they knw how much data is being used.
It is possible that if you are running custom rom that it is sending data through the wrong one.
And I know this is going to sound to obvious, but the hotspot you make with the phone is it password protected and different from what anything else has access to?
If it is unsecured that could just be that someone else is leaching off your connection.
If neither of these is the case you would want to then find a bandwidth monitor for your computer to see if there is any other programs that are running in the background that are doing something without your knowledge.
I know I accidently has windows check and update on its own and between a office service pack and other updates it used 2gb on mine. Never knew it was doing it.

Running stock and hotspot is password protected. Is it possible all data when tethered is going through that same apn? If I decide to download something on my phone while tethering and that is being or charged to my hotspot??? There must be some explanation for this...
If you're not using tether, turn it off as that may be a possible explanation. The other option is to flash a ROM that circumvents the tethering apn through tmo and carry on as usual.
