Just fyi.. Someone else on another thread and now me got a push msg from using Wifi Tether.. Pretty much says stop or they'll block tethering.. I've only been using it for about 2 days b4 I got the msg
Anyone else get it or have a work around?
Are you using the stock app or wifi tether? I thought wifi tether is supposed to avoid tmo knowing that you are tethering.

try using a different browser on your pc.. that happens to me on time but with a galazy s2 and it was because i was using google chrome, so i swithc to a different browser and problem solved!!!! JUST FYI
Ok thanks ill try fire fox btw is there any settings in firefox I need to change?
That's interesting. I've been using Wi-Fi tether for over a year now, originally on my fascinate and most recently on my S3 without any problems. (My carrier is Verizon....my data usage is between 8-12gb a month.. .sometimes more) I think I'll just stick with that as opposed to the method posted in the OP.

Uhh not sure what you mean
Wifi tether is when your on a mobile data connection (4g/Edge) and you don't have Wifi...you turn it on and it acts as a router or hotspot and lets your laptop connect to it.
If your in an area with Wifi that you can connect to you don't need to use the app. The apps pretty much only for when your in a location w/o wifi.
Thanks man it works great, I was getting errors at first but after switching to the galaxy nexus gsm profile everything was all good :thumbup:

Ok so I was being throttled because I went over my data cap. Very easy to do when streaming Netflix when on the go and streaming Pandora Radio when at work. My data connection was slowed down so much that most everything would time out. So then I found another post saying that changing you APN settings would stop you from being throttled. As always I said yea sure but guess what it work as you will see in my screen shots! Sounds crazy but it worked for me!
UPDATED!
So, to get this Trick to work just look at the screenshots posted below!
should tell you everything you need to know. all the correct settings are shown in the screenshots! no reason to write a book on how to do it! Hope this updated trick helps you guys out! So, I don't get a 100 PMs asking me how to do the Trick. since everything is posted right here! So, Enjoy!
FAIR WARNING trick will only work BEFORE your throttled. So test it out before your Throttled or it won't work. Trick might not work for everyone but works for me and many others! GOOD LUCK!!

Update!!
Ok so for people that are having issues getting this to work try this!
Must be rooted and have Root Explorer installed.
Step 1
Using Root Explorer go to data then system folder and scroll down and look for the folder called throttle
Step 2
Click and open the throttle folder. Depending if your throttled or not there will be 1 or 2 folders. Click and erase these folders!
Step 3
Now back out of the folder and now click and hold on the throttle folder a menu will pop up with a few options
Click on the Permissions option!
Step 4
Ok now change the permissions like how it is in this screenshot!
Only read and execute should be checked!
Step 5
Now once the permissions have be changed back out of Root Explorer and reboot your device. Now once your device reboots try it and see if your being throttled or not

changing this woulndt have any effect on billing right? what does this do exactly?
All this does is change what portal you connect to tmobiles data network through. This is a very old APN back from the crackberry days and must not be integrated with the system for data throttle.
Also wifi tethering works great too! And im not paying the extra $15 a month ether! Lord knows my bill is already enough at $175 a month!

didn't work on my lg p500
because it turns off the 3g connection when I enable tethering.
but I think it's a ROM issue.
I have 2.2.1 installed on my lg p500, and I'd like to share my internet connection with a samsung galaxy tab (honeycomb 3.2).
With an other application (Wifi Theter) I can act as an hotspot, as I want, but my galaxy tab can't see the wifi network available. other devices can, I can connect from my notebook, as an example.
So, I assume the problem is on the galaxy tab.
galaxy tab can connect to other wireless networks, but can "see" the one provided by wifi theter.
Anyone knows I to solve this?
thanks in advance for any help

The reason FoxFi shuts off your 3g connection is because it turns on the wifi radio to use for hotspot access around the security in your phone.
As far as Wifi Tether goes, are you broadcasting in adhoc mode?
I just gave this app a go. It looks like everything setup just fine on the phone but when I try to connect with my windows 7 laptop I get a "cannot connect" error. I think it's trying to use an ad hoc connection type. I don't think ICS supports ad hoc tethering. Could someone with a gingerbread phone could give this a try? If it works on a gingerbread phone then it's probably an ad hoc issue.

Worked on my gs3
Ok So i'm running the New Jelly Bean Update and I am Rooted. I have noticed this is very buggy but it works. I don't know if other methods work this is the one i used. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this but if you download WiFi Hotspot / WiFi Tether from the market, i believe its INNODROAPPS, then open it and click Tether, then Click USB Tether. It will say invaild user name if you keep turning this one and off randomly eventually it will still be checked and you will have your 3g still. Sometimes i can do it in the first try something it takes like 50 but at least its a tether option for now. Unless someone knows a better way, would love to hear it.

Is anybody able to connect with Clockworkmod tether
I used clockwork tether before but it's been a while.
After the JB update I updated the Tether app (had to DL clock clockworkmod because gogle play says our carrier does not support).
I can connect and use clockworkmod tether as long as my phone has WiFi enabled. However, when I disable the WiFi and try to connect using sprints network, it does not connect and I see the PC driver (Linux) opening and closing the connection continuously.
It seems like Sprint has figure out how to stop this?
I'm in the Orange County Ca, area.
Anybody here able to use cwm tether on the sprint network?
BTW: EasyTether Still works and can still get it from google play but I guess that's because Sprint can detect this one...
Update: Nevermind, it's now seems to have started working. Don't know what was going on but I've never had any trouble with this app before.
Now, If I just figure out how to get my premium license back...

If you do a google search for clockworkmod tether on the web (computer) you will get the google play page amoung the items.
Go to the Google Play page then scroll down a little to the description and click MORE.
In the full description there are links to download the app from clockwork and the drivers for Windoz, Linux and Mac.
I don't know about OSX but for linux, you will need a compiler on the system.

It is not just modding an app. There are dozens of network and registration checks scattered throughout framework.jar and framework2.jar and they are very well hidden. This is the same reason the guy on the Droid forums never got the Verizon NFL app broken the second year...too many reg checks throughout the ROMs. Either keep an ICS nandroid backup or a CM10 backup for when you need to tether.

I had some issues like that. I configured my home router to assign a static ip address to my note 2. Then I went to the network settings on the phone and changed it from dhcp to static and put in the other info required. Now it connects instantly.

sorry, no. I gather you want to know either way.
I used NOTEorious for 3-4 days, absolutely 0 issues connecting to WiFi at home. I'm using a Ubiquiti Power AP N
It also worked with my MikroTik RB751G-2HnD
DHCP, no static...
Albeit it's only been a week since I've had this phone. My current ROM is also working fine. I've been using Perseus kernel since I got it. I have not used any other kernels, including stock. I used Perseus or Siyah on my S3, so I continue to use the kernel I preferred on my last phone...
Well its just that when I turn off and on my WiFi then it gets stuck at obtaining IP address and then doesn't automatically connect like it typically should

Does it happen on other routers/access points too? Or just at home? Sorry for the delayed response.

At least it's consistent.. Hmm, what kernel(s) have you been using?
if you're doing full wipes and what not it'd be odd if just the dhcp daemon of the system was corrupt across multiple roms.....but i could be wrong, i'm no expert lol
im using the PK29 kernel

Apparently there are issues with 29, as he updated the WiFi driver. He reverted the driver update on 29.1. If you are still on 29 I'd recommend updating. Hmm...

Static ip won't help, yes you can connect to wifi, but cannot get connection to internet. This is a bug of android, and ITs in Princeton univ. had some investigation. 4.2 should have fixed it

Mine must have been a different issue. When I went to static ip I was able to get to the internet very quickly.

Looks like a good place to ask....where the hell is wifi scan interval set at on Note 2?? I looked in my build.prop where it normally is but didn't see it. Its usually set low (around 20) by stock and I always up that to 150-180 so I am not constantly scanning for other Wi-Fi when I am at home or locked on a good network.

Are you undervolting a lot? That can cause issues like that

I am starting this OP because this has become an issue across all custom ROMs at this point.
T-Mobile knows it is happening and their detection is actually impressively quick. They are very quick and have actually blocked my tethering within seconds of being warned.
I think it makes sense to have a forum where people can explain the situation instead of in the ROM thread where we all can state which ROM we are using, how we set up the hotspot, what device we used to connect to our phone and how fast we were detected by T-Mobile.

I am on Darthstalker v8 and wifi hotspot Hack is built in. I used it for a while with no issues and within the last day T-Mobile has really caught on. I have not changed my devices I used to connect. They are within seconds catching on and I am being directed to the upsell page. Any ideas what could possibly be triggering it in the ROMs?

If you don't change your user agent they will detect you quick. J haven't had any problems....using various ROMs either using safari browser or chrome with a android user agent
Ive been playing dota 2 and blacklight retribution for th last 3 days with no problem.

I'm not sure I don't use a Mac but if they got chrome for Mac I don't see why not
i use chrome but switch agent user to Firefox 3.5 and it works. i can play any game onlines via tmo tether and have not stopped my tethering phone yet.
Are you allowed to tether a connection to ps3 without T-Mobile knowing? When I tried I also got a warning..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Happens on Macs a lot easier for some reason. Go get chrome and get the user agent switcher. Change it to android and you're set.

any tether will require the user agent switch......tetherring now and all good. if your data connects your tetherimg is fine just need to switch user agent....real simple fix

Yea its here. Just install as a normal app and use the app for tether. Do not use the phones toggles or anything already on phone use the app.. Its here http://db.tt/BKG1Cigj
If it works for you let me know.. And no it requires nothing, at least for me and I have zero tethering plan just unlimited data and 500 mins.
I just turn on.. I don't use fall back or anything else. For me no user agent switch whatsoever..
