YO! where to start... well i updated my phone SGS-t989 to ICS Darkside.VenomV7 i got the mms to work and internet but for some reason the internet is really slow i have checked with my carrier and i havent gone over my Cap per month. y have simple mobile plan $60.00 plan when i was on gingerbread all was good in the internet speed. and tried all methods but cant even delete the apn from TMB. any help would be good.
Just add new APN you can not delete the stock APN. I would check online to see how much data you have used. They got me like that one time saying I was OK bit the cut me down. Run a speed test if you vet the same kbps every time they got you

OK ive done this before but im having major issues with the data speeds on my tilt 2. I did the tethering like i always do and installed the speed hack. enabled the hspda but my speeds on my new tilt 2 are very slow compared to my old one that i broke, i am lucky to get 500 down and 700 or 800 up and i used to get 1.5 or more down and 500 up so i dont know whats different from this newer one then my old one. Anyone having the same problem?
do you have the proxy enabled or disabled?
Several factors can be effecting your speed like location and time of day.
Proxy unknown
I have no idea if the proxy is enabled or disabled, as for the location and time of day, i use my phone at work for internet and ive never had a problem with speeds untill i got the warrenty replacement from att, a brand new tilt 2 the old one always gave a great connection and great speed at least 1.5 down.
WOOO HOO Fast again!!
OK i found out how to disable the proxy and disabled it and now my speeds are back up to about 1.5 down and 900 up. Thanks for the info. I am glad im a member of this site its really helped me out alot.
Ok now I am having this issue! Mine only happens on custom roms. I flash back to the original AT&T rom and speeds go back up. I have attempted almost all the radios and still no luck. I have disabled and re-enabled the proxy to no avail. I have also used the jh20001 speed cab to try and fix it. This occurs on all the custom roms I have tried from Energy (multiple builds) Cell(multiple builds) etc.. Speeds on AT&T's rom ar anywhere from 1100kbps-2100kbps. I try a different rom and speeds are always anywhere from 190kbps-580kbps no greater. HSDPA/HSUPA is enabled and also have tried it w/ j/HSDPA enabled and off. Any help would be greatly appreciated
can anyone help w/ this? i flip between the tilt2 and hd2 so i can get 3g here in virginia. i would like to get my fast data speeds back so i can watch my slingbox and listen to internet radio.
Anyone out there w/ any knowledge on this?
I am wondering if someone can explain the details around the carrier restrictions for WP7 Wifi tethering (ICS), specifically for at&t. For instance, will at&t be able to see that we are using ICS mobile hotspot feature and charge extra for it? Also, I realize that the XDA users, being the ingenious bunch that you are, were able to hack the feature onto several phones already.
If we didn't hack the feature, how would this all normally work through the carrier? Is the feature unavailable unless you have a tethering plan or does it show up anyway as part of WP7 regardless?
Thanks!
anyone??
This is just an approximation idea how it (can) work(s):
In registry there is option to select through which profile (and thus APN) it connects. So if your carrier would force different APN that is used for hotspot then yes, it is possible. But you just change in registry the APN name (or profile name) and voila, it flows now all through normal, phone, APN.
Plus there is the possibility to sneak the packets and check what sites are being checked (namely windowsupdate.microsoft.com lol).
I am so glad that I live where I live. 3GB FUP (actually 6GB FUP till end of January, we got double FUP as a gift) for $30/month. And it runs upto 880kB/s . (1,5GB file downloaded with avg of 780kB/s, peak 882kB/s).
thanks for the info! Yeah I have no idea why they charge extra for tethering, makes no sense, especially since most carriers got rid of unlimited plans! Anyway, I agree with you, should be able to change the APN to route everything normally.

Why? Because they are greedy bastards, that's why. Same internet, same data, same bits, could have used it as part of your normal data allowance but they charge you extra for it. Greed, pure and simple.
With the Focus, when tethering manually though the USB modem setting (google to find details) it goes through the WAP access point, and it shows up under phone data usage on my account (I have an unlimited data plan through my company). However, I tried using the ICS option and a few weeks later I got a text message from AT&T with the classic tethering data plan warning. I have since turned off ICS and have gone back to the USB modem method.
This is actually one of the reasons I don't want to upgrade to a 2nd gen device unless there is a known way to either use the USB modem feature or redirect the ICS through the WAP access point...
Now that LTE has been accessible in my neighborhood Id like to try and play BF3 while on my tethered network.
However, Tmobile only allotted me 500 mb per month complementary. I still tether, but only with user agent switched.
Now when I go to play BF3, in battle log it says my computer must be windows vista or above. So its reading the user agent and not letting me play =[
any ideas?

Yeah, stop tethering your phone to play BF3. Buy home internet service.

I have to get internet through a satellite. Super slow speeds but I get Tmobile LTE and I get about 40megs down

Wow. I get 50mb down 10 up and TV for 50 on xfinity. I did use tether when the internet went down for around an hour because there was a really bad thunder storm and it messed with their signal. It was pretty good. My Nat was moderate though. And I only tried it on BO 2

I've had LTE in my area now for a month or so I would say. Used it the other day to tether my PS3 while I played Black Ops 2. Connection was great, NAT was open I believe, and my connection in the game was always green with 4 bars and zero lag. I eventually hit the free 500MB tethering limit with T-Mobile and upgraded to the 4GB option. It's good to have in a backup situation when the power goes out or I lose home internet.
If you're rooted you can try Wifi Tether:
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I play BF3. The problem will be latency, not bandwidth. From what I've read using wifi tether no on has had a problem yet. Not sure how you're lag will be like. Try it out and let us know if it's playable.

Sorry for the late reply, i dont use wifo tether. Tried that and got some very strange cut outs when doing speed tests.
Usb tethering gives me constant speeds. I spent a good month toying with wifi tethering using different adapters and they all had the same results (even an expensive 5ghz 500mbps wireless ncard would give me inconsistent signal.)
I am rooted but didnt have the tethering mod installed until my 500 mb free ran out. Hoping that when it comes back next month i can try to play bf3 again.

Now that we have root and customer recovery, has anyone been able to get free wifi tethering with the TMobile Galaxy Note 3?
I tried different settings with the wifi tether app on the play store but cant get it to start up without errors.
Anyone have any input?
You get 2.5 gigs free from tmo on the native hot spot. Have you tried that?

Yeah, I burned through that already. I had a iPhone 5S that I had free tethering mod on and currently at 52GB on data on TMobile and my 2.5GB is also already used up lol.
Now on Note 3, currently looking for a way to enable free wifi tethering since my Comcast connection is currently turned off.
I have the Wifi Thering app but dont know which settings work for the Note 3.
I may have to wait until the custom roms are cooked up with unlocked tethering baked in.

VPN slows the bandwidth down tremendously. I have LTE pulling in at 30Mbps using VPN will lower the speed down to less then 1Mbps.

There is a guide that worked for the S4 about editing customer.xml under /system/csc prolly same way on the Note 3. I'll be extracting the system partition soon. if i have time i will make the mods for you and post it.

Oh this method still requires the UA switcher. Nothing will bypass that part since its done on T-Mobile's servers. I thought you were automatically getting redirected to T-Mobile upsell page even with the UA switcher.

Changing my UA works fine. I was thinking there was a hack or work around so that the HotSpot would work perfect on any device. PS3 and XBox ect...
I hear you man I use 10 gigs a day, just use UA switcher set to Safari on chrome and you can tether to your heart's desire. All websites look normal with that setting and Netflix won't give you the download app for mobile message lol. There hasn't been a wifi tether fix for quite some time regardless of the phone as far as I know, its a common request in most forums regardless of device or carrier. Anyway like I said I tether 10 gigs a day using T-Mobile hotspot with no throttling either but according to them they do throttle regular data unless your on the highest data/tether plan. So if you keep the lowest tether plan you can get unlimited tethering with UA switcher or hopefully with a workaround eventually but your data will be throttled at some point for all data unless you bump up your plan.

I'm currently not on any tethering plans. I'm rooted but otherwise stock. When I turn tethering on and using a User Agent Spoofer on my PC try to access the web, I get the upsell page. Am I doing something wrong? Also there are several UA spoofers for Chrome. Can someone tell me which one they're using that actually works please? Perhaps you can reference the developer's name, etc.

Sorry I assumed you had tethering since the Simple Choice plan comes with 500mb included in the 50 dollar plan. Then you could simply use UA Spoofer on Chrome, if your on some sort of prepaid thing without any tethering included then I have no clue except use Pda Net for now.
why not just buy the easytether app?
That way it will use your data rather than hotspot

I'm on a business plan with 100% unlimited everything (no data throttling, etc.) Am I supposed to be getting some free tethering with mine?!

Here is the quote from T-Mobile site for business account:
"Besides unlimited talk, text, and web, your Simple Choice for Business plan includes up to 500 MB of high-speed data. But if you need more, you can add extra data to any line. All data plans are unlimited while on T-Mobile’s network." "Add 2 GB to your included 500 MB of high-speed data. Smartphone Mobile HotSpot included. Speeds slowed after 2.5 GB."
Call them up and have them activate it on your phone, I had to call for my kid's iPhone but mine was working out of the box.

When you spoof it uses your regular data, personally I have the paid App Klink Red Edition but it stopped working when I switched to T-Mobile. No need to pay a few dollars for an app when you can do it free but Pda-Net works great and it is cheap enough, still it uses spoofing as well just from in the app and not at the browser end, I'm pretty sure all the tethering apps make it look like your using data from your device.
Anyone get VPN working? Mine stops routing when I connect.
I start the Hotspot tethering app first and then start PIA VPN app.

I set up tethering the other day. I dont burn through data like some of you, but im curious about the limit. Is that 2.5gig limit tied to the 2.5gig lte (then hspa drop) data plan limit? Or is it just a 2.5gigs of tethering regardless of your plan and then no more tethering for the month? Furthermore, when you exceed that amount, im taking it from these posts that the tethering app stops accepting connections and you're not just dropped to the hspa network? I dont think ill hit that limit, i only use tethering for remote access when im on call and out and about. But it would be good to know for sure.
Switched from Samsung to HTC. I've used unlimited, unrestricted speed with Samsung, but I've wanted HTC. Everything's great except my main source of Internet was now throttled. Here's the fix I foundfound.
Create new apn with exact same values as the default, but add "dun" at the end
default,supl,fota,hipri,dun
This lifted the speed throttling =
Worked like a charm. Thank you sir.
