T-Mobile Unlimited Data and Tether?

I was so excited for the unlimited data plan with tmobile so i upgraded and only too find out that you cant tether, so my question is...has any developer found away around this yet? I am so fustrated with rmobile that im actually considering leaving the company for sprint so i can get my unlimited tether and its a shame because i loved tmobile in the past
And to answer everyones question i have tried rooting and a few custom roms and probably every app out there that i can think of to tether
If anyone is able to figure this out or if you found a workaround please let me know thru email [email protected]
THANK YOU!!

So tmo is not blocking tethering on their unlimited plan anymore? Was thinking of switching but was hearing of people saying they blocked certain browsers of something like that

if you guys want the cap removed if you don't have unlimited then use slim bean v5 and also slim bean v5 has tethering built in it!

No redirections to tmobile site ?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

I guess because it doesn't use an app for tethering but its built into the settings
I haven't had any problems
Try to see if it works its worth a try
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

i had problems before getting redirected to tmobile's site while tethering with my laptop, all i had to do was download a user agent switcher addon for firefox and changed it to a mobile device and it worked again. seems they block regular http connections only. https will work fine without switching the user agent. only downside to changing the user agent is all the sites will load as the mobile versions which can get annoying at times.
then again this was back in november so it might be different now? haven't had to use it since then..

[REQ] WiFi Calling AOKP/CM10

so all the CM10 and AOKP work is coming along really great. thank you so much to all the devs who are making that happen.
there are two major features from TouchWiz that I think should be implemented into AOKP/CM10 at least for our phone. I find them to be pretty much a necessity. First and foremost is WIFI calling!!!!! I know this HAS been done on the Sensation and mytouch4g and a few other phones so IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!! I dont have the skills to do it, but in the Questions section when I brought it up many people said they would donate to whoever makes this happen. I will definitely donate!
Is anyone out there able to make this happen?
Also, the second feature, which is less important but really handy, is being able to swipe down from the top while in a full screen app to access the notification bar. Id like this because when I am listening to music and go to play Fifa12, it stops the music. The only way to keep the music playing is to turn it on from the notification bar without leaving fifa. If anyone makes this happen I will CERTAINLY donate as well!
Lets get it happenin people! Whose gonna give it a go?

There's an app called smart statusbar that you could download at the play store. Might want to download that for your second request

Thanks I'll give it a look
edit: works pretty well. thank you.

There is now a bounty for this in general. Everyone put your donation amounts there so some lucky dev will be Able to look at what he will collect!

Can you provide a link? Im on the s2 cm10 myself and have never heard of this mod... Not saying i dont believe you, just a bit too good to be true for me.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

The Wi-Fi feature is probably a bunch of libs and the app itself. The problem is identifying each of the needed libs. Hopefully it is not incorporated in the framework of the ROM, which would create a major problem. But a look at the Wi-Fi calling mod for s2 might direct us in the right path.

Seriously..for the life of me I can't figure out how this question still comes up. We've had leak after leak and in every thread for every rom this is asked dozens of times. I'm not usually one to chime in on things like this, but it's become so ridiculous it's borderline laughable.
OP, this isn't really a dig directly at you, but for everyone that keeps asking. Simply searching or even reading a thread would have given you an answer.

I hear you..that's why I said I wasn't really directing at you. More venting about the clowns that are in those threads still asking. You searched, so my hat's off. My apologies. Personally, I don't see a huge advantage to the upgrade. I'm staying on ICS for now. For me the battery has been better and can indeed tether if needed.

Apparently some one was able to get the bluetooth to work on there gs3 sharing to there mac book pro. Not wifi but something.

someone special just needs to "mod" the stock native sprint wifi app. its been done on past devices, epic, evo, etc., just don't get why the S3 is lacking when it comes to getting the native wifi app working, neither on ICS or JB.
it's annoying having to rely on third party apps and having to jump through hoops to get one working.
i'd gladly donate funds to make it happen if need be.

Simple solution just use an Aosp rom "WiFi tether for root users" app from play works great on any of em. I'm on Blackbean 6 now and use it all the time. Flawless rom, more customization than anything made & tether works.

Yeah, it's by using the fox fi app, from what I've heard. No wifi tethering but at least bluetooth is something.

Yea I here "no" over and over but that's not good enough lol. Why is it that this has worked on every other rom ever known to mankind but not the new jellybean? I've been emailing and donating trying to get something done but no response, Just it won't work. Anyone know why it won't work.

WiFi Tether does rely on some features of the kernel to work. Perhaps they (Sprint?) changed he Touchwiz kernel for Jelly Bean that broke WiFi Tether.

I think the GSIII for U.S. is not included in the program's driver list. The International version works though. However, there's a program you can download from the PlayStore called Easy Tether. After downloading, follow the instructions to download the Windows (or whatever your OS is). Transfer the program onto your computer and install. Then connect your phone to your PC and you'll have tethering thru USB.
One other thing. The free (unregistered) version will let you browse the Internet but you cannot access Secure sites. You need to upgrade to paid (registered) version in order to access the Secure sites (emails, etc.). It's only $9.99 (one time purchase).

At&t wifi hot spots and custom roms - access not allowed?

I'm on my first custom rom (paranoid 2.99) and no matter what I do I get an at&t page to log in to use wifi which is something I never needed to do in stock rom. I also can't use the website to get wifi access so far now it seems like I can't use any At&t wifi spots
So is it common for custom roms not to work? Or is it a potential bug that the developer needs to address?

Maybe you should have searched before you asked. You wouldn't have conflicting information then.
Also, why are you asking the same question in multiple threads? If you read the forum rules, it should be pretty clear where this sort of thing belongs.

I9505 roms question. (before flashing it)

So I know wifi calling will be out of the i9505 rom but does that mean I can't send text messages over wifi? I know on stock rom you can with the stock messenger. Also, will I lose 4G LTE? And what other things are taken out?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

As far as I know, you also can't send messages over WiFi, but I might be wrong on that aspect since I don't actually use that feature. 4G LTE will be perfectly fine as long as you don't accidentally flash a modem as well.

Not on i9505 ROMs there isn't.
On the WiFi texting, I can't think of any ROMs that allow you to send texts from your actual phone number, but Google Voice allows you to send SMS messages using your GV number over WiFi. As far as I've noticed though, it's limited to SMS; no MMS functions.

Right... I completely disregarded you as being the op :cyclops: My bad lol, but seriously though, I would say that the WiFi messaging is tied to T-Mobile's WiFi calling. There is plenty of room for me to be wrong, but I base my judgement on that because I can't send SMS/MMS over WiFi on i9505 ROMs. I also don't have T-Mobile service either, but don't see how that would matter when using another model's ROM.
As far as LTE, it should work considering you use the correct APN settings.
