[APP] T-Mobile TV

Here's the tmobile-tv.apk file from the MyTouch HD ROM. T-Mobile gives you a 30 day trial and 9.99 per month fee for premium access and i think free for the standard stuff. not sure what's what yet but i tried out a few channels and it works great!

Wow! Thanks! It is working great on my G2!

thx 4 this!

With the apk I can use this with at&t? Or WiFi? Or must I have t-mobile

I believe it does an account check on initial use. it requires you to be on mobile data to start the app the first time, and then after you can stream via wifi if you want.

installed this on my hd2 running android 2.2. it installs, and when i open it, it gets stuck on the magenta t mobile tv opening page and nothing loads. anyone else get this problem?
Edit: got only blank screen when connected to 3g. connected thru wifi, then ran program, got past initial page, search for updates, do you want to start trial, clicked yes, and it said i must disable wifi on first run, so i clicked disable wifi, and then it gets stuck in loading screen. so i get nothing in 3g, in wifi, get somewhere but sent back to 3g. anyone else?

I was just coming to post this, but it looks like you beat me to it.
I just extracted it from the MyTouch ROM, installed it on my G2, and it's working perfectly. I have no intention of actually paying 10 bucks a month for it, but I'll keep it installed, see what content stays free after 30 days.

Awesome, I will deffinatly be using this today at work...

Actually, if you read the agreement, you can go to the HELP tab and unsubscribe from there. There is a checkbox that you uncheck to unsubscribe.

Hung on 3G so turned on wifi said to close wifi then just 'hangs" on 3G. So I rebooted and now just "hangs" on both 3G and/or Wifi.

Yup - just started happening to me too. I do not have the tmo tethering software on my phone at all either. Very strange.

I haven't been blocked but I use WiFi Tether from the Play Store. Try that and see if it works for you, it's free.

This recently started happening to me too, however upon some Google searching I came upon a quick and easy fix: Don't use the stock tether! and use this:

The latest one uploaded on April 22 [wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk] works perfectly for me hope this helps!

That's what I'm currently using but it still redirects me to the up sell page. However the up sell page does not come up under the Safari browser while it did whilst using chrome.
foxfi is another alternative which worked great

Yeah...T-Mobile takes advantage of chrome user agent string....that's how they know we tether. However once flagged, its very hard to get around it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Wow. I guess all good things must come to an end because I loved the free tethering......it is my data and even with the use of tethering I still do not use up my 5 gigs THAT I PAY FOR! This is an interesting tactic for T-Mobile to use......hmmmmmm.....
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

I TOTALLY Agree!!! Why is anyone telling us how to use something we pay for. How we use our 2 or 5 or even 10 gigs of data should be OUR OWN BUSINESS!
T-Mobile's been piping lately how their going to crack down on folks who tether.
DAMN THEM!!!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

You guys can still tether don't worry. Use different tethering alternatives and see which one works for y'all, i.e barnacle, foxfi, pdanet, easy tether, android wifi tether.
You could even try different browsers

[Q] T-mobile wifi hotspot bypass??

Just got my Galaxy S3 today and upgraded from mytouch 4g, im on t-mobile's 4g prepaid plan with unlimted everything (5gig 4g data). on my mytouch i didnt need to pay for tethering service but now im trying to connect my itouch to my wifi hotspot on the s3 and it doesnt work.....would anyone happen to know a workaround or fix for this??
p.s. im not paying tmobile for tethering service
Thanks all

Its working for me. I thought the 5GB plan included the T-Mobile HotSpot app, the guy at the store this morning offered me a 2GB plan for $20 or a $35 5GB plan with tethering.

Thinking you probably need root.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

I do have the app it's just that when I turn it on and connect with another device it redirects to a page that tells me I need to add the service from T-Mobile...I have been skeptical about rooting as I've never done it before, can anyone confirm that this will solve my problem??

i know right...guess ill just wait for an easy root guide to surface, i only use it for streaming music in my car from my itouch (got a killer system ) ..off topic; are there any adverse affects to rooting, besides voiding warranty, like will i still be able to access play store and download/use all apps like usual?

If you have root, simply download this apk and install it to your rooted Galaxy s3. Once its installed, go to the settings in the app and select "generic ics-profile".

To get wifi-tethering working without T-Mobile's silly fee, try my method listed earlier in this thread. It requires root, but works!

This worked for me. I had downloaded the wifi tether w/ root, but I couldn't get it to work off the bat. The missing thing was changing the profile to "generic ics-profile". Using a stock rooted Tmobile SGS3 T999.

You have to change your user agent on the PC side. I reccomend Firefox with the add on called "user agent switcher". No matter what don't use internet explorer, immediate giveaway.
Here's my current one as an example:
Mozilla/5.0 Linux U Android 4.0.4 en-us Galaxy Nexus Build/IMM76I CyanogenMod-9 AppleWebKit/534.30 KHTML, like Gecko Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30
Here an example of what will get ur ass redirected to the tmo up sell page:
IE 7 ? Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)2011-10-16 20:20:09
Hope this helps

If all else fails you could also use PdaNet and use the "hide tether usage" option.

Try using Firefox. Works for me even when Chrome redirects.

[HOW TO] USB Tethering on unlimited data plan NO ROOT

I have seen many posts regarding the tethering and hotspot on T-mobile, as it is only available on the data plans that are not unlimited. T-mobile blocks most tethering and hotspot apps but there are some ways to get around this. Most ways to avoid purchasing the tethering plan require root. However, this one does not. After a lot of searching I finally found a solution. The only con of this is that it does not support hotspot, only USB tethering. It is compatible with Mac OS, Windows OS, and Ubuntu OS. I am still searching for an update that will allow this to work with Chrome OS as I just purchased a Google Chromebook. This is a great feature while you are on the go, or do not have an internet connection at home.
The first step to the process is to download the Android app from the google Play Store. It is called ClockworkMod Tether. The app is free for 14 days. Once the 14 days is up, you will be able to purchase the full edition for $4.99. The upgrade is in app only, so you must download the free version first. Why wouldn't you anyways?
Once you have downloaded the app, as you will notice when you open it, you will need to download the app for your computer. It will ask you to open the app on your computer to get started. There is an app as well as a driver that is needed for this. In order to get the driver, you will need to visit clockworkmod.com. You can visit the site from your computer or your phone, which is convenient if you don't already have internet access. You will then need to click tether drivers at the top of the screen. It will take you to a list of makes of phones such as Motorola, Samsung, etc. Obviously, being the Samsung Galaxy s III, you are going to click the samsung drivers link. After it is downloaded, if you are using your computer, simply open the file and install it. If you have downloaded it to your SIII, you will need to connect your phone to your computer, find the file in the folder clockworkmod, and install it.
After everything is installed, you can open the app in your phone and turn on the tethering. After you have done this, open the program (which should also be installes from the clockworkmod folder) and click start. It will configure and it should say connected after a few seconds. Then, open your browser and you should be online!
I just discovered this and so far it is working GREAT! I got booted off once, not really sure what happened. But I turned off the tethering through the app first, then through the computer and restarted it all again and all is good. Hope this helps everyone looking for the answer! I will post again when I discover a way to use hotspot for free with no root.
