So after trying a bunch of aftermarket tethering apps to no success, i went right to an AOSP rom.(AOKP).. To my surprise, it works!!!
If you are on ics(touchwiz or aosp) ft you can use wifi tether for root and it will work with the truly unlimited data plan

I went with their unlimited 4g data plan yesterday they told me I couldn't use hotspot anymore. So now I need to know is that feature now blocked on UN rooted phones? Because I'm running a custom tw Rom and the hotspot still works

You can use tethering aps from Google play market

Yeah it should be blocked if you're unrooted. It should redirect you to a page asking if you want to add it to your plan (at least that's what it did for me), etc... I actually still had issues tethering when I went to a custom tw rom but when I finally switched over to a cm10 nightly I no longer had issues tethering.

I'm rooted on the stock rom using WiFi Tether which works great.

If you can't get past the redirect page when you are using hot spot try using firefox. I swear it works.

has been working for me for days since I signed up for unlimited 4g data plan.
I always just used PDAnet. We had a storm come through the other day and knocked out my home internet for a couple days. I had PDAnet (that I downloaded from the PLAY store) and used it to watch Netflix. Worked like a charm. Root isn't even required.
So the consensus here is that even with the (no tether unlimited 4g) plan tethering still works just fine? Or someone said that you must use firefox on the tethered pc and another said that pda.net app must be used? I'm looking to save some money by switching from my 10gig data plan but need to know that it will still tether first.

No one said you have to use anything. If you are rooted, tethering will work fine. You can't use the built-in tethering if you are not running a custom rom.
I too am considering the plan. Very interested to know the actual charges are at the end of billing cycle. Contracts usually have additional fees every month. That being said the cost of the plan sound really good. I am averaging about 10mb download with highs of 16mb with my no contract tmobile plan. It sucks on beachside but was kind of expecting that,can go from 100kb to 8mb down within a block or two. Might just be interference.
I would also like to know if calling mart credits can be added to the account or other providers credits work.Then I would actually be paying less than the price they are asking. About 5 percent less when i can find the codes that are still valid!
Please keep us posted everyone! Let us know if thier are any problems after tethering and how much are you tethering percentage wise daily. I want to cut out the cable and would just go to tethering for home if i can.
Also thinking that after sept 12th,tmobile may try to lure others into thier plans with free phones on that value plan,hope so,then can sell that phone(one s?) and get that Gnexus i been wanting to try .

tethering to PC browsers is what sets it off. If yuo are going to tether to other phones or tablets, TMO wont make you pay for the service.
But that's not wireless

Does any rom work besides CM or AOKP with the TMO unlimited plan. I have read about a 2nd apn..... I cannot get it to work. I like Touchwiz, and I need the teather.
If you have the truly unlimmited plan I don't think you can tether period. its all over the forums of people complaining of it not working

I'm looking at getting the s2 and was wondering if anyone figured out how to theter on the phone to a laptop or ps3 and get around to block? Going to get the 70 a month prepaid plan
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Many solutions to this, cm with encryption, changing apns, different apps
Search around on the forum abit using the above as a guide
What's cm w encryption....I've tried almost all the work around and I'm good for a bit but once I hit a certain data limit they cut me off I'm on the unlimited plan by the way
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Certain cm builds (9 I believe) have the option to mask tether traffic so u don't have that problems. There are apps that can do this as well however
May I ask what apps....I tried orbot but I couldn't connect to my laptop with orbot on

I was wondering if there was a way to get free personal hotspot service. I wss planning on paying for it (14.99/month) but I cant add it to my account it conflicts with the features in my plan... Is there anyway I can do this, without using pdanet or any other apps like that? Also I don't mind rooting my device. Thanks in advance!

Conflicts with what features? There should be no issue adding hotspot to your plan even if you have unlimited everything. What plan are you on and what features do t ou have?

You can't get Hotspot with the Unlimited Data Plan.

You cant have Unlimited 4G Data and HotSpot. You have to choose if you want a "capped" plan + HotSpot or Unlimited 4G Data. T-Mobile is here to make money, just like any other company, and from that perspective it simply wouldn't make sense to let customers tether and eat up as much data as they want while still keeping the second cheapest data plan.

Actually with the unlimited plan they do not offer hotspot service, I had the same issue when I joined tmobile so I rooted my phone and cm10 or 10.1 all you have to do is turn it on and you are ready to go
If you don't want to root you phone there is a app called open garden that allows you to share you internet connection to any other device using Bluetooth (as long as the device has 4.0 or newer OS), I haven't played with it to much but consumes less batter and also allows you to share with a desktop / laptop PC
Give it a shot

T-mobile makes money...trust me on that...but unlimited means no data cap...which should mean infinite data usage...yet they always have that fine print thst zeros out "unlimited". Oh well.

Hi I have a T-Mobile s3 with new truley unlimited data plan. Has a 2.5 gb tethering cap. Does n e 1 know how to bypass that so tmobile won't know I'm actually tethering?

Jovys tethering mod on Touchwiz I suppose. Most Touchwiz ROMs already have it implemented.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
I use an app called PDANet for both USB and Wifi Tethering and I have no tethering on my data plan (old grandfathered plan). Works great.
You could also install a custom ROM like AOKP or CyanogenMod that have Tethering options in them that T-Mobile won't see.
I used infamous rom again for the first time in months and this happened

I think mobile is able to detect most of the tethering workarounds. Only one I see people report as working most of the time is to change the UA string on the tethered device to android.
