I missed my foxfi...

after upgraded to ICS . Otherwise, I like my new dessert

Maybe I am dumb, but I just tried Foxfi for about 10 minutes and it worked perfectly. I just used the simple hotspot as I have used before. Can you explain what the problem is?
My phone is stock ICS, not rooted. Thanks

My tablet always got direct to tmobile sign up page for tether option.

Tablet? Either you mean phone or you are in the wrong forum dude

He meant that when he tethers to his tablet, he gets redirected to the tmobile up sell page

for some reason, my Foxfi is working now. When activate the Hotspot, it no longer turn on the Mobile Hotspot in phone setting like it did before.

What about Barnacle WiFi Tether?

Mine worked by just using the hotspot app im on the £12.90 sim only deal.

Works fine with nothing added for me. I thought three decided that all plans with all you can eat data could do tethering?
13 pounds a month.
3000 texts
300 minutes
All you can eat data

when I got the one X the sales guy said I cant tether with the plan I have and it only comes on the one plan! I'm one down from the one plan and I would have to add the tethering add on at £5 a month!
He did say you can get away with so much then they will send you a message how true all this is I don't know I don't really use tethering so I'm not bothered!
I haven't even tried it either might give it a go and see if they bollock me lol

I have done it a lot and never got penalised.

Tether using wifi hotspot or usb , they dont know that your doing it !
i downloaded 20Gb with no hassle

I am on the one plan but you can use whats built into Android 4....
Otherwise I like to use an app called Open Garden, has never let me down so far and a lot more easier to setup.

I have all you can eat, but not the one plan (ultimate internet 1000). I can tether (warily lol) by just using the built in WiFi hotspot software, works just fine, not had any warnings as yet

Ive tethered to other phones and my Nexus 7, and nothing bad has happened. I read if you mobile tether they couldnt know, but if you use a PC theres a chance they will, because of the websites and ips it accesses.... £5 a month adds a gig of tethering, which is bloody insulting.....

When I tried it on an all you can eat plan I was redirected to a web page saying tethering wasn't supported. It was a new plan but maybe the older ones work.

I have tried this and it does not work
The inbuilt apps via hotspot and usb get me redirected to a three page which says tethering is not available on my plan. Im going to try cwm and open garden to see if they work.

Just use the built-in USB or wifi tethering, it should just work fine. I've been tethering on Three for years now, the built-in tethering in android always works fine for me.
Edit: I should just note, I'm on Unlimited Internet 500

I have tried the apps and the standard android tethering app it still does not work. I get the same three message.

word, good lookin out, been on tmo website the past few days bout to pull the trigger but the 2 year reup kept me from it, the positive input makes me think i can possibly kill the home wifi thru clear aka sprint and their lil 6mb up more like 2 at best 4g wifi hotspot unit. the only thing ill give the clear hotspot cred on, ive used that thing to some insane #s on classes up at the local juco and had other kids on to max out all 8 hookups and never been throttled...not that theres much wiggle room for them to throttle, and im talkin some sick monthly usage GBs lol not that i care about the students but ive been known to cloud transfer my entire harddrive from one of my laptops in KC to my vegas locale, and lets just say the ol tmo 10gb/mo plan has been throttled on me b4 with oh 3 and a half weeks b4 my billing cycle was up lol thanks for the heads up

I read a huge thread explaining all the fine print about tethering. But even worse, Verizon and att MUST allow free tethering as said by the FCC. I'm honestly thinking about researching everything getting all the details sorted out and bringing it forth to the FCC. Cause apparently the way they tell if you're tethering is by packet sniffing. And from what I understand, that's illegal period. Even if it's included in the TOS. That's my private data they are sniffing.

Well, one still can resource to connect via VPN..
I am thinking to just upgrade from SGSII to the newest II; i like the fact the screen is more crispy; at least what i saw in store. With my SII in 11 month I never had problems with thetering but I only have used it to connect to internet my laptop at work to read email or to the company web portal for ticketing closing and management, only few minutes at the time..
I really don't know if the jump is worthy...I got old Juggernaut v3.7 on my SGSII...had it for 11 months now..if i upgrade, will pay full price for the III.

I think he post just for fun nothing to do with proud thing
Cause I use more data than he does and not even one month.two more weeks left

I was pretty surprised that I've used close to amount (last I checked a few days ago, 50GB). No tethering no Torrenting. But it seems that the Gallery likes to use nearly 2GB of data in the background every time I set up a new ROM or Reflash. That plus all the Roms and re downloading of apps from the Store. And more recently, the purchase of a couple HD movies and a hand full of re downloads of the Avengers movie.

77Gb on HSPA+? Come to my area Whole brooklyn gets like 0-0.20Mbit, Loading Netflix or Youtube is virtually impossible here. Called T-mobile they said they're fixing tower, well 4 Months and still fixing it? Good thing I have pre-paid I can cancel any time

Question for you all: truly unlimited throttle

So about mud day yesterday, I was watching YouTube, all of a sudden everything started buffering no matter what video I watched. Downloaded a couple files and speeds were only 30kB/s. Didn't think anything of it. Thought it was the host. Didn't do much else but use tapatalk and noticed things were a but slow. Did a speed test and it shot up to like 300kB/s then hovered around 30-50kB/s felt that awfully strange.. as that's what would happen on my old throttle plan.
So I went to bed not thinking of it.
Got up this morning and speeds were the same. Stayed the same for the entire day til I got fed up and called T-Mobile. They "said" I wasn't being throttled. And after I *****ed they "reset" my phone on their network and things were back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced like symptoms? I'd hate to think they went this low to throttle us..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

Are you sure you have the truly unlimited 4G plan... Or the unlimited data with let's say 2gb, 5gb or 10gb of 4G data.
If you have the truly unlimited data then you shouldn't be throttled. But if you have one of the other three plans where they cap the 4G data then they throttle you after that certain point.
Or maybe t mobile was having issues with your tower and had to reset the connection?

It wasn't just my area though, both s2 and s3 showed same speeds. And yes I have the truly unlimited.

17 gigs? I really don't see how most people can go over 5 without tethering. I use my phone constantly and I've never gone over 2. Even with what I use on wifi, which might be another 2gb, is still not even 5gb's. So, I can only ASSUME you have been tethering, and they figured it out. That would explain the throttle.

You get 100 uses of tethering anyhow. Then they block you. But as psykhotic said get Netflix and watch HD movies and then tell me how much data you use. Not to mention you can download torrents via your phone. And I never use WiFi except for when transferring files to my phone.
But irregardless, it's unlimited, there shouldn't be a throttle period.

No not 100 uses of tethering.
You can use 100 MB before the block you if you already used the work around on the software they have on the phone.
The program by default on the phone though will actually block you right away.
Unless you use a custom APN then you get blocked after 100 MB.
If you change your User Agent on your browser the the User agent of the phone and you won't get blocked.

Soooo.... why not factory reset while on wifi? I don't understand why people treat the network as a substitute for a home network?
And streaming music doesn't use that much data, you'd have to watch 8 or 10 movies on Netflix to hit a gig. Don't tell me you watch 10 movies a week on your phone. I feel sorry for your eyes.
It is the abuse of the system that will do nothing but raise data rates for all of us. Thanks alot people, enjoy your rerun's of Charles in Charge.

Netflix even on the phone does use more then that. A 2 hour movie would be about 600 mb for that one move.

I use around 25gigs lol
