Hi I use the HTC Sensation 4g and my best friend uses the Samsung Galaxy SII. I know for the sensation we have the apn unlock that allows use to use the wifi tethering without paying for it. Is there a rom or a way for the SII to be able to also? My friend wants to upgrade to ICS but will not due to wifi tethering being locked. THANK FOR ALL YALL DO!

I have no issues using the built in WiFi tethering for ics. However using Google chrome on Ubuntu I got the t mobile hotspots website but switching to Firefox it was still working. So I cleared the cookies in Google chrome and it worked again

What rom do you use?

I too have no issues using the built in WiFi tethering on ICS.
Currently running DARKSIDE.EVOLUTION.3 v7, smooth as butter, no issues at all.
What ROM are you running?
Right now he is running juggernaut 5.0 with no issues but he doesn't want to upgrade to ics due to t-Mobile locking wifi tethering unless you pay for it.

I agree. It's like I paid for my data, now let me use my data the way I want to. All carriers are the same way. It's not like streaming video from the same source on my computer uses more bandwidth then on my phone. Carriers are too greedy anymore.

You also can just install the ICS ROM (official) from t-mobile and root the device. Then just use Titanium Backup to uninstall or freeze the Tehteringprevisional and you will be good to go. No custom rom need...that is unless you want a custom rom.
But hell, paying twice for the same UNLIMITED data is not being cheap...it's being STUPID!! I only wish I lived in an area that has city wide wifi...then they could just keep their entire phone plan and I would just pay for wifi (skype calling, etc..) through my property tax bill...I would support that!
The cell carriers are just trying to nickle and dime you in every way, except they don't charge just nickles and dimes...they charge $15, $25, even $50 for services you are already paying for. Once they have you hooked on the service, then they change the terms..."yes you have unlimited data, just not unlimited HIGH SPEED data". Plus you are forced to have a data plan!
Damn, sorry, I just stepped up on that soap box and lost myself....back to your question...yes just root and you will have wifi tether in ICS official and custom roms
Yeah. And I was joking lol. I don't pay for mine either. He told me to tell yall thank you by the way.

I hate the fact I have only had one month were in didn't go over my 10gbs of data

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
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
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.

The t mobile hotspot app doesn't work it'll keep directing you back to atmo webpage.but there's an app in the market which does work just tested it. T-Mobile is now the **** bet not nobody say nothing bad about T-Mobile.

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

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 tried it but it wouldnt work for meee
I've got a TZones plan, and would like to move to a Note 2. Which of the three Note models is the best choice for me between the AT&T I317, the Canadian T889V, and the international N7100/N7105. I'm in SoCal, so if LTE is coming I'm thinking it'll be here soon. I really need to be able to wifi tether, that is a key function for me.
Thanks for the advice and help!
No advice?
Ditch tzones, cause they could do a force upgrade, they are being more diligent in checking devices that log on, but if u was to go with tones, I would use a rooted international, which would only get you edge anyway.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, assuming I do ditch tzones, is there a plan that doesn't have data caps and allows me to wifi tether?
Also, if I want to keep trying my luck, is the T889V the best choice? I've read the blocks on Canadian phones have been very few.
Wow, you're really still using tzones, huh? And you expect to be able to use unlimited 4g data with tethering? Ya Got balls, buddy
I can't help you with device choices, only people that could are the ones who have taken the risk and experimented with different devices.
But, I can tell you there is no data feature that's completely unlimited AND includes tethering officially. Tmobile uses throttling, so when you hit your "softcap* for the month, your internet speeds are turned down painfully slow (like down to 100kbps).
Assuming you changed to a value plan(since you seem like the type that is fine with paying full price upfront for the phone), here are your choices:
2gb softcap, no tethering = $10
5gb softcap, tethering = $25
10gb softcap, tethering = $55
Truly unlimited, no softcap, but also no tethering = $20
Note that some people are still finding ways to get around the tethering block on non-tethering data features, but results are extremely mixed. So if you're willing to experiment(and, of course, be violating tmobile's terms), you MIGHT be able tether under the radar. I suppose you are willing to, since you're still trying to use a 2004 flip phone data feature on a galaxy note 2
Anyway, good luck man. Hope that helps.

Or as what we, ex Sprint users, refer to as "Blazing fast Internet" :laugh:
I guess I could go with truly unlimited and add tethering...the tethering is important to me.
You can't add tethering to the truly unlimited feature.

So no cap and no tether, or tether and throttle? Booooooo
When I say tether, if root isnt the first word that comes to mind then there is probably something wrong

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.

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.
