When you use your wifi hotspot on your device how does tmobile actually see how much is being used weekly, monthly. Thanks

Are you talking the stock T-Mobile wifi hotspot ? It sees every bit .... If your using foxfi, i dont think it sees any of it as tethered ....

How does tmobile tell how much data your using?Is there an app that I can see how much hotspot data that I using. Thanks

All data is viewed as thethering irregardless of the app used. Tethering is done via their servers now, not the device. Best way around it is using a VPN

Browser(s) won't load website

Any idea what may have happened to my browsers using mobile data?
Specifically www.mautofied.com isn't working on T-Mobile. I turn my wifi on and its working fine.
Both stock browser and chrome will not load that specific website. Other sites are not affected.
I have tried a cache wipe.
Could it be T-Mobile error?

Are you being throttled? I'm being throttled and i'm getting speeds to the point where sites almost always time out. Also, try toggling your mobile data connection. Sometimes, my phone says connected to a network when it isn't and sites don't load but never say no internet connection.

Hotspot?

Which rom has it enabled so I can share my data with my laptop
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
$9.99/mo has it.
Just kidding. Apparently I can add it to my cart AND check out but they don't allow it on unlimited.
If you are rooted download wifi tether

i tried wifi tether for root users and set it to generic but it starts with the errors with "setting channel, setting essis, setting ad-hoc mode, activating wifi interface, and loading wifi driver" any ideas how to fix that?
Set it to generic ICS/JB WLAN0

Who is the maker of this app and do you need to root the phone to make it work?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Yes you phone needs to be rooted foxfi doesn't work....
Sent from my LGOG!!!!! Boom.....
ok tried a couple different times with this app but
why is it I can not get speedtest.net to come up and all my web pages are pretty slow to load on my laptop
any further configuration settings needed for this WIFI tether app
No other settings that i know of. But I'm really starting to wonder about the radio on this phone. It just seems to have good and bad moments. With WiFi also.

Are you able to get to speedtest.net on the computer you WiFi into your phone with to see what difference is between the 2 tests
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
At work, so no. Honestly, never been concerned with speeds. As long as it works im fine. Might be able to test later with my tablet tho.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Still think the radio in this thing is not that great. Reception fades more with this phone than the one it replaced. And that one sucked too.
Anyway, speedtest was all over. Anywhere from 300k to a best of 1900. Ran it probably 8 or 9 times.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
If run the speed test app on the phone what do you get
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
About 1300-1400k. Which is about right.

I normally get 13 megabytes per second to 22 megabytes per second down and around 10 megabytes per second up on my phone when I tether via bluetooth dun I get about 6 megabytes per second down and 2 megabytes per second up on my PC. After root in using wifi tether I am NOT able to get to speedtest.net to check on my PC

Wifi tether who has it working what app

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Does anyone know if they have wifi tether what app are u using if so
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Long story short. Wireless tether for root works. BUT it'll kill WiFi. You can only use one or the other per reboot. Unless something has changed.
Edit. On ZVB anyway

WiFi Tether for Root, or Wireless? I have WiFi Tether for Root but it requires a slew of steps to work, I've read.
Haven't gotten it to work with the suggested settings, but haven't bothered spending the time to utilize a workaround.

Each device is different. You should look for support for the device in question rather than something completely different.
Try device profile = generic wlan(0)
Setup method = netmasterd
Reload wireless driver checked

Did t mobile block my hacked hot spot?

I recently rooted my gs3 and flashed synergy rom and used the trevE hot spot mod.. off and on for 2 days.. Then I got a text from t mobile saying that my hot spot has been blocked.. When I tried to use it again it would not show up on my computer anymore.. I then flashed darkstarker and jedi5 with the same results.. I had the same results with the foxfi app.. But with the stock hot spot it can connect but no data.. With the hacked trevE mod and foxfi it won't even show up for me to connect anymore.. Did t mobile do this and Is there a way I can fix this?
Please help..

Are you using a VPN or just the hotspot app ?
If the later, use a VPN, too. There is a guide on how to do this in this forum that I followed to do so.
No VPN.. But I'll look it up and see what I can come up with
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You must and should have used the vpn hotspot shield and they would have not detected. It requires both for this to work without detection
