I recently been getting texts that appear to be from t-mobile saying that I have used 400 of the 500 mb hotspot on my data plan. The problem is I have done zero tethering what so ever. I first started seeing this text after using the android app XBMC on my phone to stream a few movies. It seems as if the phone is seeing this app as another device using the connection but its all on the same device. I am just trying to see if anyone else has experience this. I notice I do not get the texts if I use the vpn the whole time. Any thoughts as to what is going on?
I don't understand the question.
Use the vpn to hide traffic
Tmobile is probably seeing the desktop user agent and is thinking that you are tethering.

Just keep using the vpn or switch to a rom that has native tethering activated.

I may be wrong, but don't the i9505 TouchWiz ROMs have apps2sd working?
yes, there are several i9505 TW ROMS with apps2sd and native tethering working just fine; i'm on at&t using a t-mobile port actually.

I've had 2 similar problems. A week after I got the phone it started using all data as hotspot data. A factory reset fixed it.
A couple of weeks ago my Loader Droid app on my phone started using hotspot data. I cleared data and cache on the app and that fixed that problem.
factory reset will fix it, better hurry, the tmo mobile police will be at your door, as soon as you hit 1gig data. Always when you lay the phone down, make sure it is camera down. And place napkin over it, so they can't see who you are.
be prepared.
Sorry all, I could not resist...how many times have I told you Ax, don't get involved..but..no Ax.

had a guy in THIS forum say, why search, if you post the question in threads in all forums, he would not have to look for the answer. And he did it to, in 3 forums, same question. He said he was to busy to search. I will remember it. That's for sure.
why dont you just use wifi tether for root users it works perfect

He should be careful flashing - zip only no ODIN. I dirty flashed Omega and flashed ktoonsez TW kernel and it booted up and worked fine. However, the AppstoSD function did not really work - it did not actually move them to the SD.

I use this app to pretty good effect. I don't know about roms with it baked in; the CM iterations usually have them, but I don't know about others.

I just got an S III and hotspot will be a return and/or sell the phone issues. I installed this app, and it works so far. I read in a different thread that one user got messages from TMo and that it was subsequently blocked.
Have you used it enough to run into this? i don;t need it a lot, but would like to find a solution that has proven out to users.
as far as I know they are not allowed to cut you off due to wireless tethering anymore. I use the same app, though not very often, and I have had no problems

Thanks - good to know. Too bad the easy APN fix that works on HTC devices doesn't here.
Just get an app? There's a lot out there that work after rooted.
I am a longtime android user, own all nexus devices, etc.
My brother is thinking about making the jump from iPhone to an sgs3, should he stay on touchwiz or should I help him get a stable ROM on there? Maybe AOKP jellybean?
Suggestions and opinions/experiences appreciated.
I'd say stock for a bit then later aokp. Let him get a taste of both worlds...
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Agree. Flashing a frequently updated ROM might be a bit much for an iPhone user, and touchwiz is friendly enough!
I'd say stock w/ either Apex/Nova launcher
I say let him run stock, maybe if he wants a luncher on top of it, but if coming from iOS I would let him run TW fully there are some really cool features in TW that he will enjoy so much .
I say run stock for a few months, or until he is throughly annoyed by touch wiz. Then start flashing. Let him get used to how Android works, the menus, eyv before throwing custom stuff at him. If he doesn't know how it's SUPPOSED to work, he won't know when it DOESN'T work on a custom.
Personal opinion but no god awful touchwiz...and with the USSD bug goin around even more reason for me to never ever reccommend anyone use it
You say you have all the Nexus devices, so I'm assuming that means the Galaxy Nexus? How about letting him use your Nexus and you get an S3? That way he can get used to pure Android without having to root.

Tried both settings many times. Never helped. On Ariel 2.7 (and I suspect on the latest OTA as well) WiFi just works and never drops.
Aren't alot of features that come on the GSIII tied into TW? I haven't switched to AOKP on this phone but ran it on my GSII. There are things you have to give up by going AOKP or CM.

Like crap battery life, 26 hrs plus on AOKP. Lol. There are TW features that are missing (certain camera features come to mind). But to the point of the OP, if you haven't used TW much, you won't miss them. Yes, AOKP/CM10 are updated frequently, but you don't have to update unless you want to. If the build you are on is stable, battery life is great and you're happy, don't update. I flash every update, my wife is on an early August build. For a person new to the S3, I would stay stock for a month (30 day return policy). If they're happy, leave it alone. If the battery sucks, root it, load Titanium Backup, and kill all the S-crap and carrier bloat. It should be a learning process, done in steps. Android is fun and there are so many options, which (to me) is why it is better than IOS. Too many people rush into custom ROM's without acquiring the basic knowledge of how Android works.

OK, so I have a rooted S3 running the FrostyJB ROM. When I try using the USSD code to check my data usage (#932#), I get a message that my account is not set up for that feature. Also, both the TMO My Account app and the mytmobile website do not show my data usage, although they do show usage for minutes and text messages.
I ran into a TMO store, and they couldn't figure it out but said it may be due to root. Thoughts? I would like to be able to check my data usage, and every time I flash a ROM, it resets the data usage stats on the phone. Very annoying.
Thats weird, both the tmobile apps show my data. I am also rooted amd running frostyjb as well. Whoever told you it was cuz you were rooted is an idiot or just a liar. Even when I was on the 2gb plan it would show
Sent from Flip's S3
I have the same issue. Haven't had time to really dig into it though.
It may be because we are running JB. Or it could be the MyAccount app. If you look at the comments for it on the market, the latest versions are pure junk and cause nothing but problems.
Ill try to remember to look into it some more later.

CM 10.1 has been a not so good experience for me. I solely bought the S3 to root and install CM on it. But bug after bug and gallery not syncing ....its hard to keep it. The TW ROMs eat battery up quicker than anything. What is weird to me though is that I had the S3 on Sprint with CM and all was working even on nightlies. You would think that the T-Mobile version would be as good.NOPE

Sorry dude. Some people tend to give smart answers and make it out to be like you're stupid or purposely disrespecting the devs when those were not your original intentions. You were just looking to get a straight out simple answer.. Everyone's got their reasons for what is said or done though so I can understand both sides but still, a simple answer is a SIMPLE answer.

The only issue you name is the gallery sync issue. Is that the Picasa thing? That's never worked on CM 10. Probably still in the OP.

Do you mean that it's never worked on the Galaxy S 3 for T Mobile or cm.? Because it has, I've had it on other devices and it runs pretty darn good. besides the gallery issue I have random freezes that to the point I have to reboot my phone or take out the battery

Use one that isn't a nightly and all US s3 variants will have the same issues except connection/data type issues. I have suggested for you to look up a picasa sync app from the market before, did you not do that? I'm almost positive it never worked for any device, without a mod.
Ok, freezing issues. What nightly are you running?
I was on the 27th but now I'm on stable release to and it still doing it
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Don't use a custom kernel, don't overclock, and don't undervolt. And don't use that ancient CM 10.0 stable build. Use 10.1 with the 20130301 gapps.
The 3.4 kernel builds are still pretty buggy. 3/17 was the last 3.0 kernel build. Try 3/17 (goo.im). If still having issues, please describe exactly what you are doing when the freezes occur.
Using 3/28, I had one hotboot this morning, been fine ever since.
Is hotspot tethering with password supported in the nightlies? I am currently on CM10 stable now. Couple of months ago the nightlies hotspot password was not working.
