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.

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??

That sucks. More than likely requires root. Im sure there is a work around.. Thats a big option for me when i take my Transformer prime out and about..

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".
Tethering will now work. Please remember to click the thanks button :good:

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.

Root the phone, install titanium backup, and go to backup/restore and go all the way till you can find thetering manager app.apk, then click on it, the click on freeze, then uninstall, after reboot the phone and now your wifi tether should work with no problems
have done this in 10 phones and all work great!!!
Kudos to those who suggested the titanium backup method. It works like a charm and I want to thank you guys for saving me an extra 15 dollars a month. Sure you can pay for things, but why should you when you don't have to

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.

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.....

it doesn't work with T-Mobile, because there is the Mobile Hotspot app...If someone can remove that from the device, I tried it with root but it didn't work...but if you used the international version of your rom....then it works....between International has no wifi calling...in case you either live in the no signal zone, or you are traveling abroad....

Just use the treVee mod (if your rooted) that way you dont have to change or delete your apns and it even comes with a little widget to turn it on and off.
you have to change some of the settings in the app in order to get it to work properly, pm me if u wanna know the settings
easy tether app on the market
download chrome for your laptop/desktop
download user agent chrome extension
change it to a mobile browser

Steps:
1. Get TrevE Mod tether app

(you will not get a internet connection using any other tether app while using the VPN app)
2. Get Hotspot Shield VPN

(was mentioned in earlier post but couldn't get it to work)
3. Start Hotspot Shield VPN and connect
4. Start TrevE Mod Tether app
Problems?
Hotspot Shield does not connect or you get error 1028?
Get Tun.Ko from market and install it
Repeat step 3 and 4

Connected device does not receive internet?
In TrevE Mod tether app go to settings and select Device profile and select Generic ICS/JB wanl0 . Now select setup and select Netd-Ndc master . Check box that says send Nets Max client . Check box WiFi-Reloads driver 2 . Check Routing fix .You may need to change ssid too .

Why would you need to keep the screen on . Are you using the tether app posted in step 1 ?
When my phone sleeps so does the tethering app..
I do have battery defender installed but not active maybe that could be a problem. I would think if not active it wouldn't interfere maybe I am wrong

T-Mobile can still tell you're tethering via user agent . It's only a matter of time before you get the text or have to use a user agent switcher. If you use the VPN your data is encrypted and tmobile can't snoop through your data .

So what if you set up a VPN through an NAS or router on your home network, and used the vpn software built into the phone. The S3 comes with two built in vpn clients, the native android vpn client, and the Authentec one in the app drawer pre installed by samsung. (does anyone have any opinion on differentiation between the two by the way)
I would test this myself right now, but havent set up the VPN capabilities of my home NAS, and wont be home for several days. But am really curious about this now.
I have in the past used a VPN through my old work work to netflix and hbogo and use my Play Music acount abroad, so I have high hopes for this idea.
Someone please test. I'm dying to know. I'll play and post when I get back.

Wow, thank you very much guys it works great especially that 1click vpn. One thing tho, I can't access my favorite torrent site I guess because everything is encrypted.

u dont need to root for reverse tethering
jus create a wifi hotspot
and then connect it via your pc wifi
done .....if u still want to root then look into the developmnt section

You are talking about the unrestricted mod Jov23 implemented into his Darthstalker ROM. It works great, only thing is T-Mobile sometimes catches wind of your tethering by sniffing the user agent, and then they shut your ability to tether off. So two ways around this. Use a user agent switcher on your computer so it looks like a phone to T-Mobile, use safari browser which already works fine without switching user agent, or use VPN so T-Mobile doesn't get a chance to see what your using. I recommend hotspot shield app from play store.

You can still tether, as long as you use a VPN T-Mobile won't detect it or at least stop you from tethering. VPN One Click in the Playstore works fine for me, sometimes it takes a couple of tries for it to connect and stick but it gets the job done once it does, plus it's free.

Yeah vpn lets tether work even after tmobile turning it off. I think VPN one click limits you to 100 mb ? Hotspot shield has unlimited VPN

If anything use the hotspot shield, then download foxfi from the store, run hotspot shield with foxfi = win and unlimited tethering!

I have been using my device as a hotspot for months now on a rooted device for free with no problems. last month I used 119gb of data without T-mobile sending me anything. All I had to do is change the user agent on whatever device I connected to my phone. If its another android device then
I dont have to change the user agent because T-Mobile has no clue its not my phone. Now on my laptop I just change the user agent in google chrome to Opera and since Opera is a android browser T-Mobile has no idea its not my Phone.
