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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

I'm looking for an inexpensive way to get data on my soon to arrive N7 since my phone plan doesn't include data and I plan to be on the road a lot next year.
Also open to suggestions one good ones if the answer is yes.

why not just use the 3g connection of ur cellphone via wifi tethering?
Since you're going to be on the road, I'd suggest getting a Verizon mobile hotspot. Verizon is expensive, but you'll get the most consistent connection with them wherever you go. It's not USB, but the batteries last a while and you won't have a dongle hanging off your tablet. If you're in a car or hotel, you'll be able to keep it charged.
Also, with the hotspot, you can connect your laptop and phone to it. Just out of curiosity, your signature says that you have an LG-LS970, which is the Sprint LG Optimus G, how do not have data on it? I figured they would've required it.

Yes you can do it. Get a program called PPPWidget
You need to be rooted and you need a kernel that will support the 3G driver. I am using CM 10.2 with glitch kernel. ElementalX works too however I think you have to have Stock ROM or something AOSP based.
I have a Huwaei E303 3G dongle that I use. I think the dongle support is limited in these kernels.
Just used mine in Guam / Saipan / Tinian. It worked.
Thanks for the answers. I've been wondering this as well.

So just wanna make sure that if I have a rooted and unlocked optimus g running a custom ROM, I won't be charged anything extra for using WiFi hotspot right? Thanks for any info guys

Not unless you go past your limit. It mostly happens with AT&T and Sprint carriers, where if they somehow detect that you are using a hotspot (bit unlikely with a custom rom, but it can happen), then they will charge you.

Yeah I just let a buddy connect to it with his phone so he could use the browser and stuff. I use a lot of data as it is so they prob won't notice anything

I have unlimited, but they don't let me use a hotspot... so I use TrevE's Wireless Tether. They don't notice at all. (I have Sprint)

In one of the posts I seen before it said that AT&T and Sprint are the most common too notice someone using an excessive amount of data for unpaid tethering. How much is considered to be a lot. on average I use 120 to 180 gb a month. Have I just been lucky? I'm running rooted stock rom.
you guys just watch out cause here soon sprint is going to be shutting down what they call "server farms" running on thier new network. Not sure what all qualifies you for that class but just make sure you dont abuse it too much.

I would say you are very lucky. My step son was downloading about the same amount. And although they didn't mention tethering. They sent me a letter saying I had excessive data usage, (I have unlimited data plan) and had 10 days to stop the excessive usage on that line or they were going to cancel my account. This was on Sprint.

Well here the past month or so I've taken it easy. My schedule at worked changed so I didn't have the time for things I did. I guess I got lucky. I know that I read using a stock ROM is the easiest way to get caught. Since then I've installed the pacman ROM for my lgog. So I'm not so worried about that now.
