if you can wait till the 25th you can get mobile hotspot and mobilelife album free http://www.phonearena.com/news/T-Mob...n-25th_id26064i

Doesn't jugs already have tethering option ? Why would you need a third party app to tether?

Does it wirlesslesly with no tmob charge?

Pretty excited about the promotion that starts ont he 25. Reminds me of free wifi calling and how they told no one but if you specifically asked for it that put it on your account.

good luck finding a rep who will add it just like free wifi calling

Back to the original post and the question asked.
I'm running Juggernaut as well. Is there a way to get free wifi tethering? Furthermore, data speeds are terrible through tether, but decent on the phone. That is, I can download a 385mb file from Dropbox in about 10 minutes or less (I didn't waste my data by testing the download of the whole file). However, tethered to my laptop, I cannot even get the main Google web page to load reliably, much less download a file.
Another example. Netflix plays fine on the phone, impossible with a tethered laptop.
Any suggestions? Yes, I've done my searching. I've seen others complaining of the same problem, but no clear solutions. Only possible solution is to use TB to uninstall and re-install Tether Manager (a solution posted for Zombie, BTW, not Juggernaut). However, under Juggernaut I don't see Tether Manager listed under TB in order to uninstall and re-install.
Hope this makes sense. Any help is appreciated.

Okay, I kept looking and found a solution that appears to be working. I downloaded Open Garden Wifi Tether. That fixed the connection and bandwidth problems. Streaming HD Netflix on tethered laptop without a hitch, but I still get these annoying pauses and delays before data transfer starts. After as much as a 1-2 minute delay the video stream begins buffering and the video plays.
I think that is a t-mobile data thing, not a 4g or GS2 problem.
I also noticed that Speedtest routes to a server in D.C. and I'm in Jacksonville, FL. I manually reset to servers here in Jacksonville, but that resulted in abysmal scores.
Ah well, the quest continues. Next thing to sort out is to find someway to make calls without using minutes (Skype? Google Voice?).
Hope this helps someone else. Also, I'm open to any helpful input.

Solved. I think
A tmo Rep told me that it would be free if I was using barnacle. My speeds are great honeslty. You can also go through USB or blutletooth but this seems gayest with barnacle. Barnacle is free also
You can also get no throttle if you replace some things using root explorer but there are whole threads for that

I cannot tether AT ALL!!! Te

I tried, Barnicle, FoxFi and the wireless tether app for rooted phones.
NOTHING WORKS.
I did switch to the unlimited plan, as well as my father, and 2 friends, ALL of which have no issues at all.
I thought it was my rom, so I switched roms last night and still no go.
I'm starting to get worried here.
Foxfi- "wifi mode has failed on your phone please use bluetooth mode instead (still doesn't work)"
Barnacle "WIFI: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0:invalid argumnet"
Wireless Tether "Tethering started with errors"
WTF ??? Everything else with the phone works fine
Anyone?

interesting, you even did a full wipe and installed another ROM?
have you tried tethering with native and then use firefox instead or a useragent for chrome?

It's a problem for me too. Right now I use the native app from tmobile and it works fine - confirmed working with jedi mind, infamous and dark side

im sure most of us don't have tethering allowed but we still use the native feature lol. You should try it out. then use firefox on the computer. if you want to use chrome you need to download user agent switcher extension.

Read carefully because im only posting this once!
Unlimited plan does not include tethering meaning when t-mobile reads you're using a desktop useragent it reads on the DNS servers and blocks your connection to the site redirecting you to their add hotspot crap.
Easy fix
Download wifitether app the original from back in the day! Requires root!
In settings on the newer betas you have the ability to change the DNS servers
All you have to do is search for whatever DNS servers you want to use and add a primary and secondary. I use verizons
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
You can search for others but they seem to be the fastest for me.
Now share this and repost it if you want.
What this does is it enables wifi tether and overides the default DNS server from t-mobile allowing outside sites to report to our desktops.
Enjoy.

does that really works? i havent had a problem tethering with the new unlimited plan. and using stock tethering feature on planejane. but I didnt know that I can turn on the tethering and use another browser like firefox. would that work?
Now i noticed that tether works fine but then it quicks. (pages keeps loading until error and says try again) and i have to turn it off and back on so it would work. If i want to download a file I cant cause i lose connection fast

Well i can tether to my galaxy tab and other Android devices with no problems but i cant get it to work on my ps3 or laptop im using the method above no luck

[Q] Cyanogenmod and Tethering

Has anyone been able to get the 'WiFi tether for Root Users' or TrevE Mod working in Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 or any AOSP ROM on the SGH-T999? I ask because I haven't. I reached my 500mb cap for this billing cycle and want to maybe prevent that from happening in the future, or at least get it working.

What you are attempting to do is not possible? They should be able to measure the amount of data that goes through your phone, because it can be done on their end, so there would be nothing for you to exploit. My understanding of the tethering hacks were that they allowed you to tether if you didn't have the tethering provision on your account (whether you did not pay for it, or are unlimited, and they don't give you the option). I've seen the hacks that claim to be able to bypass the data caps, but unsure why it would be implemented in such a way that anyone could exploit it.

Well of course they can watch my data use, but whether or not I'm tethering with that data is another thing. I was able to use about a gig and a half last billing cycle on their unlimited plan, by just using TrevE mod (no vpn app) on Touchwiz based roms and only about 300mb showed in the tmo my account app.
I was under the impression from what I've read that apps like TrevE mod can give you more access untell they put the kibosh on you, and if you go though a VPN you can use it all you want cause all of the network traffic is going though the VPN app not Windows and Chrome etc. which they look for.
I'm mainly wondering if that app 'WiFi Tether For Root Users/TrevE mod' has worked at all in AOSP, even 4.1.x.

I think T-Mobile has improved their detection and now know when you're using those apps or mods. Lately everyone seems to be reporting that they do not work.
As to whether or not you could use em in cm, I doubt it. If you didn't see it say so in the op and it wasn't reported working by others posting in the thread, it's safe to say it doesn't.
Did you search and read through the thread?

I haven't seen tethering or hotspot mentioned at all in any T999 AOSP op i've looked at which is discouraging. For CM10.1 people seem to only talk about the the included tether.
As for 'WiFi Tether for Root Users' its so widely used any thread I look at is device specific most of the time, and/or for that devices stock rom. But there are so many settings in there though I thought maybe someone got it working.

If they did they would have posted it in the mods thread if anywhere. But if it can't be done you could almost certainly find that info in the same thread.

I am running CM10, rooted on a SGH-T999. Following the forums I downloaded Hotspot Shield as the post stated it was the only shield (VPN or otherwise) that would work with TreveE-Mod Wifi-Tether. Sadly, I found that using Hotspot Shield really slowed down my connection to a crawl and also caused problems using tether to stream Netflix, Hulu+. etc. I did find another VPN app that worked (Hideninja VPN) but it also slowed me down tremendously and caused issues with nationwide streaming copyright protections on Netflix, etc. as well. I do pay the $30 for T-Mob's unlimited albeit shackled internet package.
I have a newer Dell laptop running WIN8 and have not tested this on any other version of Windows but:
My SGH-T999, CM10 and TreveE-Mod all work together flawlessly to give me a T-Mob upsell to WiFi hotspot message in my browser whether I change the User Agent or not. :crying::crying::crying:
Then I installed UltraSurf VPN on my laptop and my tethered speeds are AWESOME!! WITHOUT having to change my User Agent settings.
No need for Hotspot Shield or HideNinja.... no VPN setup on my phone, just UltraSurf on my puter and the tortoise has turned into a hare!
Totally Terrific Time Tethering Together Today and Tomorrow.... U GIT THE IDEAR! :good::good::good::good::good:

This was originally created to help the Chinese surf safely to out of country sites and to help clear out all data from being retrieved should their system be forensically searched.
Hopefully this will work for you!

[Q] T-Mobile user agent based tether upsell evasion no longer working

Hello! I searched literally 6 hours over google last night when my tether conked out and came up with no solutions. Here's a description of the problem:
Tethering to a computer was working fine last night, I use user agent switcher on chrome to get around the tether upsell (insert rant about I pay for my data, I use it how I like) as I usually do, when a page I was loading broke halfway in. I refreshed it and suddenly got redirected to the upsell page. All of my internet based applications began to show connection failures as well, steam, dropbox, skype, and thunderbird all fail to connect (I assume because t-mo is redirecting them to the upsell page as well.)
I've taken these steps to try solving the problem:
Changing my user agent to something else in chrome. No dice.
Clearing cache/restarting computer/changing the device name/MAC address spoofing. No dice.
Rooting my phone following the instructions at tech(dot)gamotech(dot)com/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3-lte-n9005-running-on-android-4-3-jb/ and using apps like WiFi Tether Router, WiFi Tether for Root Users, and a few other apps. None of the programs work, they all give an error of some kind and fail to broadcast a wifi signal despite being granted full SuperSU access.
Abusing T-Mobile tech support. Great stress relief, but they're dumb as rocks.
Does anyone have any other workarounds, advice, or information?

T-Mobile 2.5GB limit tether workaround on native t-mobile hotspot (stock ROM)

by using the stock native hotspot feature, i reached the maximum 2.5gb and received text messages from t-mobile saying its blocked and i can use it again next billing cycle.
by breaking it, you simply add APN. same settings and the only difference is change the APN protocol to IPV4/IPV6 then save it.
im a mac user so safari no issues or whatsoever, but on chrome you need to change your UA to safari 5
Goodluck!

thank you

Just to clarify, You're only using Safari browser on your Mac? I take it that if you use Firefox it wouldn't work?
For those using a OpenVPN Client app has it already changed to IPV4/IPV6. I'm curious if you would have to create a new APN anyway or just use the APN that you're already on that is already switched to IPV4/IPV6?
I'll test it out as soon as I run over, which is soon and will report back.

im using safari and chrome. i tried downloading safari and i got flagged by t-mobile. im happy with Safari and Chrome so im all good.
and by the way, we have 2 ipad's and tablet and no issues connecting with my note 3 with this setup i posted.
you have to create a new APN since the stock APN is not editable, blurred everything..

Thanks a lot for the info!
Quick question (keeping in mind I have not done (wifi) tether via a hotspot:
I understand the useragent switcher is needed to surf the web via Chrome (for non-Mac users who can't use Safari) when using this thread's technique.
However if, e.g., I want to use this free hotspot tethering option (beyond the 2.5 GB of hotspot included for free by T-Mobile) to simply watch Netflix (via the app and not via the browser) on a tablet or laptop using the Note 3's data connection (as opposed to being interested in browsing the web), then am I right to assume I don't need to worry about first firing up my web browser on the tablet (e.g. Chrome and UA switcher method) to establish the data connection like some VPN's force you to do?
So far I have actually not even used ANY of the 2.5 GB included by T-Mobile (I have not done any tethering with my Note 3 yet sinceI have wifi via my cable internet at home and have not needed it on vacation yet either).
Nevertheless, I am still interested in exploring the technique described here to get it for free beyond the 2.5 GB (never know when I might be on vacation and don't want to risk going over).
PS: Here is a similar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467193

I will try this
I am going to try this technique for the next few days. Thanks for the post! I have been using the WIFI Tether- Treve Mod for the last few months with no many issues. I did have to use the user agent switcher for chrome though. Last month I used 28GB of mobile data.
Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether

Processes
When i was on US Cellular There was a process that was called "synchronos" that was designed to check with US cellular's network to see if you were able to tether, and "police" the amount of data you were allowed to tether. I just switched to T-Mobile today.. I havent found that process yet.. Anyone know what process T-Mobile uses to check the status of your tethering package? I can freeze it with Titanium backup and tether all i want.

OK, question from a noobie - at least where tethering comes in.
I've been reading this thread (forgive if I should have done this at the end of the most recent message, not familiar with appropriate
protocol) and want to clarify my own understanding while questioning UA.
I migrated from Verizon and immediately came upon the 2.5 Gig limit everyone is talking about. I found an on-line resource that showed me
how to change my Access Point Name from T-Mobile US (apn = epc.tmobile.com) by creating a new one with apn = ipv4.
Now I'm able to tether without T-Mobile sending me notifications with respect to their 2.5 Gig limit.
Question: Have I effectively by-passed their limit by doing this, or do I also have to look at UA switching? I'll have to admit I'm not at all
familiar with the UA thing.
I'm tethering my Galaxy Note 3, while my wife is tethering her Ipad 4 (using Chrome.)
Just don't want to get hit with a big bill for the extra Gigs.
Thanks a lot.

It's a VERY valid concern. Anyone that has hit the limit on tethering will tell you that T-Mobile DOES NOT give you more tether data and bill you later. They will stop you and suggest you purchase more. No unexpected big bills should be in your future due to tethering.

Idiots Guide to Tethering
I know this may seem like a silly request, perhaps even an unfair one, but I've been looking for a way to tether my T-Mobile Samsung Note 3 device since I switched from Sprint using the iPhone device last November.
I downloaded Fox Fi, Hotspot Toggle, and so many other apps I read about on blogs. This is the closest one that addresses a problem I've been running into.
When it comes to technology and setting things up, I'm a complete moron. Some of the terms I know little about, which is why I'm hoping someone could post the process for setting up our phones in steps, and from what I've read so far, what web browsing software not to use or only use when tethering our devices on a Mac, iPad or other devices. I've been traveling back and forth to Fresno in Central California to care for my ailing mother, and the ony wifi signal I got was from my phone. Unfortunately, 2.5GB disappears quickly, and I can't be increasing my Hotspot data plan every time I visit home.
Thank you one and all for being supportive and understanding.

Hi
I've been using a Lollipop 5.0.1 Note 4 port ROM on my Note 3, tethering worked like a charm. I've used up to 125GB monthly for the past 4 months on T-Mobile tethering to my Mac, AppleTV, tablets, desktops, laptops... you name it. Obviously custom ROMs aren't perfect. Battery life is horrible, NFC & GPS doesn't work, Bluetooth and WiFi issues, some stock apps don't work as they should, etc...
I had to upgrade to T-Mobile's Official firmware due to a big malfunction that erased all my data and almost bricked my device. Immediately rooted and downloaded a Deodexed and Knox free Tmo firmware. In just a day I hit the cap on my 5GB tethering plan and my speeds have been reduced to 128kb... Spotify doesn't even load any music on my iPad and I don't even wanna try loading Netflix on my AppleTV.
I've been wondering wth makes a custom ROM able to tether freely and how I could apply that to my "almost" stock ROM. I've read so many threads and comments, applied some suggestions and used some apps and none works for me. I'm not a developer neither a noob, but any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
