When I first got phone, I was pissed cause I lost unlimited data but, I figured, at least I could tether now! I installed foxfi and was tethering in minutes....it was awesome
Now I'm on jb leak and rooted, and NONE of the apps work...
So I searched and found a solution!

what are actual data speeds you're seeing? this is one thing that makes me nervous about upgrading. I have unlimited data, on my bionic I can get 24 Mbps down on my pc tethered when I use the built in tethering app, but have never seen comparable data speeds through a third party tethering app.

Are you paying for hot spot?? Sprint can see if you're using a wifi tether app and that violates the TOS so that's probably why you got the letter.
That's a lot of ggggggbs.
I guess as long as you didn't tether I would agree with you.

Yeah, they caught on to it now. Its all done by their servers networking tools. Nothing you do to your phone will "hide" how much data you are using. It is literally impossible.

I am not a big fan of opera however if you are throttled trust me it's a life saver. Opera mini compresses your data so it not only uses less data but is much faster. When I am slowed down my data is practically worthless.

Couldnt find it in plans, so decided to chat with tmobile rep. this is the outcome.
She told me that i never added the free 500 mbs of free tethering to my account and that she would be able to do that for me at that moment.
So i asked her, do you see any data used for tethering on my account and she said no, so that means that the wifi hotspot work around was doing fine.
Then i asked should i be able to tether if i dont add this service, and she said no. which is wierd because i was tethering when i was speaking to her.
So guys should i add the free 500 mbs of tethering or just leave it as it is?
that is really weird.. since I can see it in plans... I'd say don't change it as its working right now and if it ever stops working which I doubt you could always change it
