Tethering

Hi are there any roms out that offer free hotspot because with the new unlimited data plan coming out I will lose my hotspot feature and hope there is a Rom that will allow me to keep it

I use this app to pretty good effect. I don't know about roms with it baked in; the CM iterations usually have them, but I don't know about others.

I just got an S III and hotspot will be a return and/or sell the phone issues. I installed this app, and it works so far. I read in a different thread that one user got messages from TMo and that it was subsequently blocked.
Have you used it enough to run into this? i don;t need it a lot, but would like to find a solution that has proven out to users.

as far as I know they are not allowed to cut you off due to wireless tethering anymore. I use the same app, though not very often, and I have had no problems

Thanks - good to know. Too bad the easy APN fix that works on HTC devices doesn't here.

Just get an app? There's a lot out there that work after rooted.

Are you rooting your device yet?

Will that interfere with any updates from at&t? Dare I say I might not root for now and leave as is.

i'm not rooting til there is a reason too... so far, there isn't

Rooted in first 5 min lol wanted my titanium backups you now how hard it is to beat all those damn stupid zombies levels again lol

Same here, I just wanted to freeze out the att ****ware.

I'm going to hold off until tar hits.
hopefully that comes soon like it did on Sprints

I also would want to freeze the bloatware but does rooting the device interfere with updates from at&t for the multiview update? I usually immediately root/unlock bootloader and custom rom my new device. Never actually wanted to run stock like I do now due to the sgn2 features, including the s-pen.

I would assume that as long as you're using the stock rom then ota should still be available; but once you run ota you will probably have to re-root and also hope they don't patch whatever root methods we have currently.

I think I'm going to root soon so that I can play my NOVA3 with my PS3 controller... HDMI on the big screen using my Note 2 as a gaming system... You got to love it.

I plan to wait. Not having the stock TAR and a clear path to true stock has me going at it slowly. Having come from a zombie HP touchpad with CM9... I miss my root toys and tools.
I do really want the multiview OTA!

Rooted! And in just a few minutes...Can't wait to see what' going to happen around here!

No real reason for me to root so far. I disabled all the bloatware so I'm good to go for the moment.

I was just about to ask the same thing.

Flashed to Verizon Prepaid but bad root.

I'm currently running ICS 4.0.4 (afraid to let it update because I'm afraid i will lose the flash if i do.)
I have what i think to be a unique problem. I bought a sprint Samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch SPH-D710 flashed to Verizon prepaid. Everything works fine but I'd like to be rooted to edit the build.prop file to fix MMS. The problem is I do not have access to a computer whatsoever because i am at a camp (long story). I have SUPERUSER in my app drawer but when i ran ROOT CHECKER BASIC it says I'm not rooted. Anyway, I came across a thread on this forum here saying i could root with an apk file called FRAMAROOT but was wondering:
If i were to attempt to use Framaroot even though i have a "bad" superuser in my app drawer can i mess up the Verizon flash, and more importantly, brick the phone? Like i said i don't have access to a computer so i don't want to mess up this phone asi would be helpless if it were to become bricked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here's the Framaroot thread i was talking about btw:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130276

You will not lose the VZW flash. As always, though, there is a slight chance to brick. You should be good to go though. If that doesn't work, look up exynosabuse here on xda.

But do i need to get rid of the superuser that's in my app drawer before trying framaroot? I dont have access to a computsr to do so. I'm worried the bad root will conflict with framaroot and brick my phone. Thanks again

It shouldnt cause a problem even if its still in your app drawer. Im pretty positive that it will replace that superuser with another that works. I used framaroot on ICS after i tried a whole bunch of one click apps. Its still worked perfectly.

T-mobile Spying on me?

I recently been getting texts that appear to be from t-mobile saying that I have used 400 of the 500 mb hotspot on my data plan. The problem is I have done zero tethering what so ever. I first started seeing this text after using the android app XBMC on my phone to stream a few movies. It seems as if the phone is seeing this app as another device using the connection but its all on the same device. I am just trying to see if anyone else has experience this. I notice I do not get the texts if I use the vpn the whole time. Any thoughts as to what is going on?

I don't understand the question.
Use the vpn to hide traffic
Tmobile is probably seeing the desktop user agent and is thinking that you are tethering.

I've had 2 similar problems. A week after I got the phone it started using all data as hotspot data. A factory reset fixed it.
A couple of weeks ago my Loader Droid app on my phone started using hotspot data. I cleared data and cache on the app and that fixed that problem.

factory reset will fix it, better hurry, the tmo mobile police will be at your door, as soon as you hit 1gig data. Always when you lay the phone down, make sure it is camera down. And place napkin over it, so they can't see who you are.
be prepared.
Sorry all, I could not resist...how many times have I told you Ax, don't get involved..but..no Ax.

Omega and wanam, both have those options. All roms will list their features such as these in the OP of each rom. That needs to be your starting point.

Hey guys there is this thing called the search feature. You would get a million more answers if you used it.

had a guy in THIS forum say, why search, if you post the question in threads in all forums, he would not have to look for the answer. And he did it to, in 3 forums, same question. He said he was to busy to search. I will remember it. That's for sure.

why dont you just use wifi tether for root users it works perfect

He should be careful flashing - zip only no ODIN. I dirty flashed Omega and flashed ktoonsez TW kernel and it booted up and worked fine. However, the AppstoSD function did not really work - it did not actually move them to the SD.

No tweaking of auto-brightness on T-Mobile?

So I'm a samsung n00b - long-time HTC user - but I noticed something strange.
I was playing with either a Verizon or Sprint GN3 @ best buy and noticed that the Auto-Brightness had a slider to tweak it from -5 to +5. I am trying out a GN3 from T-Mobile and I do not see that option for auto-brightness tweaking.
Is this something T-Mobile purposely/accidentally tweaked in their ROM only? If so, do any of the custom ROMs for T-Mo replace this functionality? I'm a paid user of Lux, which kicks ass, but it tends to use more battery than I'd like.
Thanks!

They removed it. And no, as of now, wanam xposed doesn't even work. (just that part of it). You could flash an international rom to get them back if you really want it.

There's no good reason for having a carrier check to use tethering either. There's no reason for Verizon to remove blocking mode. There's pretty much no reason for anything stupid the carriers do

What do you mean adjust by 5? Like keep auto on but still adjust a bit? I've never seen that and I've had android since g1.

I always have it at full brightness so this means nothing to me

Correct - the Samsung ROMs natively allow you to tune the auto-adjustment. So you can make it tend to be brigher or dimmer, but still have it auto-adjust. For some reason, the T-Mo ROM pulls this out. Go to Best Buy and play with a Verizon or Sprint GN3 and you'll see the option.
Frustrating.

Yeah, but you're using xposed which requires rooting. Or you have the N9005(international unlocked) not the N9005-T (this is the tmobile model). Tmobile did remove it for some reason and the only way to get it back and working is to use an international rom. Even xposed doesn't work. It puts the slider back, but the slider does nothing. I have xposed, so I'm not just saying things.

I was just about to search this topic. Why the hell would Tmobole remove this feature? On the T-Mobile note2 auto brightness was too aggressive as is the T-Mobile note3. Big sucker of battery life. I've been doing brightness manually the last couple of days and my battery life has almost doubled. This is one of the few things that make me miss my international note2. I've been out of the flashing scene for awhile because I didn't want to trigger SDS on note2 so I haven't had time to read up on flashing international ROM. Is it as easy as flashing recovery and then international ROM without radio? Does some of the bloat go away?

I use Tasker to customise my brightness. It works quite well and you set up for your own personal use.
