In TrevE Mod tether app go to settings and select Device profile and select Generic ICS/JB wanl0 . Now select setup and select Netd-Ndc master . Check box that says send Nets Max client . Check box WiFi-Reloads driver 2 . Check Routing fix .You may need to change ssid too .

what kind of speeds are you seeing with HSS?
Another xda member stated he had slow speeds as well in the s3 forum . I've never had speeds problems with this method . I will test as soon as I get out of work .

I've been using Cyber Ghost as my free VPN and it's very decent. I've been considering paying for Private Internet Access, at $40 for a year with good reviews.
PIA is pretty awesome. very fast, both ping and down/up speeds. the vpn only adds approximately 30ms.
for free vpn on the phone, hideninja vpn works very well. pro version has more locations (like uk for bbc iPlayer). and it's supposedly lifetime vpn.
using jellybeer on an i317 with a $70 unlimited tmobile prepaid sim.
---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------
this is with PIA. the up was a little slow on this test. it's usually 10-20mbps. ping and down speed are normal. some servers are better at certain times. very easy to switch with viscosity for mac. i start the normal tether (settings>more>tethering&portablehotspot>portablehotspot) with no vpn on my phone (with a cm10.1 based rom), and then start the vpn on the computer. i didn't even know about the upsell message until i flashed a touchwiz rom.
So, picked up a kindle fire hd 7, and figured i'd give this a shot finally.
Running rooted stock, setup and execution was a breeze following the op tutorial.
I tried to get tethering added to my plan, but they said i'd lose my current awesome unlimited plan to get tethering added...so xda to the rescue.
Thanks!
Sprung for PIA. Here's a representative speed test with and wzithohut.d

Why do you get errors in YouTube using user-agent switching? I use user-agent spoofing with Chrome and can use YouTube, NetFlix and HuluPlus with no problems and no speed issues that often arise when using a VPN service. I can even play online action games while connected to LTE with 30-40ms pings. All this without any VPN use.

I used chrome with user agent switcher and every time I went to youtube I would get "can not play video at this time" also problems with any https website . That why I made this tutorial . Plus Tmobile can see you tether when you use a user agent other than an Android user agent . They also send the annoying text when they see you thether . Vpn prevents all that plus I don't appreciate TMO eyeing my internet traffic . If any one has problems with speeds using a vpn I would suggest setting up and ssh server . If you or any xda member would like me to make a tutorial an tethering via ssh server I can do that for you .

Strange, none of those issues ever occur using my methods described in my thread. I don't get texts from tmo so I don't think they monitor activity in the manor you mentioned or I would have been notified long before I hit the 200 gig mark. I've used somewhere around 250 over the last few months. No notifications, no throttling, no problem. I am interested in the ssh server, however. That tutorial would be great. Thanks for your input as it helps us both further our understanding of tmo's network.

Works great. Only issue I seem to have is with xbox live. I can connect and my nat setting show as moderate. This was normal when using the stock tethering app. However in Blops2 I am unable to connet to a game, it will put me into a searching lobby, it will just keep trying to find a game.. anyone else seen this?
Worst case I can just use the native app for xbox and this for computer tethering.

Why would you need to keep the screen on . Are you using the tether app posted in step 1 ?
When my phone sleeps so does the tethering app..
I do have battery defender installed but not active maybe that could be a problem. I would think if not active it wouldn't interfere maybe I am wrong

T-Mobile can still tell you're tethering via user agent . It's only a matter of time before you get the text or have to use a user agent switcher. If you use the VPN your data is encrypted and tmobile can't snoop through your data .

So what if you set up a VPN through an NAS or router on your home network, and used the vpn software built into the phone. The S3 comes with two built in vpn clients, the native android vpn client, and the Authentec one in the app drawer pre installed by samsung. (does anyone have any opinion on differentiation between the two by the way)
I would test this myself right now, but havent set up the VPN capabilities of my home NAS, and wont be home for several days. But am really curious about this now.
I have in the past used a VPN through my old work work to netflix and hbogo and use my Play Music acount abroad, so I have high hopes for this idea.
Someone please test. I'm dying to know. I'll play and post when I get back.

You are talking about the unrestricted mod Jov23 implemented into his Darthstalker ROM. It works great, only thing is T-Mobile sometimes catches wind of your tethering by sniffing the user agent, and then they shut your ability to tether off. So two ways around this. Use a user agent switcher on your computer so it looks like a phone to T-Mobile, use safari browser which already works fine without switching user agent, or use VPN so T-Mobile doesn't get a chance to see what your using. I recommend hotspot shield app from play store.

You can still tether, as long as you use a VPN T-Mobile won't detect it or at least stop you from tethering. VPN One Click in the Playstore works fine for me, sometimes it takes a couple of tries for it to connect and stick but it gets the job done once it does, plus it's free.

I have been using my device as a hotspot for months now on a rooted device for free with no problems. last month I used 119gb of data without T-mobile sending me anything. All I had to do is change the user agent on whatever device I connected to my phone. If its another android device then
I dont have to change the user agent because T-Mobile has no clue its not my phone. Now on my laptop I just change the user agent in google chrome to Opera and since Opera is a android browser T-Mobile has no idea its not my Phone.

I did NOT create this app and only take credit for finding and testing it.
So far this is the ONLY WiFi Tether app I tried that works on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4.
I tested it by linking to my Asus TF700 tablet.
1-Click WiFi Tether No Root is a FREE app available on Google Play Store.
Best of all, it does not require ANY tinkering with profile settings.
Just install it,
run it,
click ON
and then search for the WiFi signal from your other portable device or PC.
My Asus tablet found the signal and locked on in less than 5 seconds.
Note: There is also a Pro version available for $9.98 that offers WPA security if you need or want that added feature.
If you appreciate my find, simply click THANKS so I know this wasn't a wasted thread post!

Use firefox with an addon called User Agent Switcher set to android and you'll be fine.
The way T-Mobile tries to stop you from tethering without paying extra (which is total bs by the way) is by sniffing out user agents from things that aren't androids.

I'll quote exactly what it says on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (model SGH-M919) when I clicked the Help menu about using Wi-Fi hotspot:
"To use your phone's hotspot capability, you must have the Smartphone Mobile HotSpot service added to your rate plan."
They key word here is "added" which means it is NOT free unlimited hotspot service.
Here's what it says on the T-Mobile website page about this service:
"T-Mobile's Simple Choice Rate Plans all include Smartphone Mobile HotSpot up to their data limit, except for Unlimited 4G data which includes 500MB of Smartphone Mobile HotSpot. You can add additional capped Smartphone Mobile HotSpot usage: $10 per month per line for 3GB or $20 per month for 4GB."
The FREE app I mention in the OP is FREE. Whether or not T-Mobile can & will
be able to monitor the use of the 1-Click free app is yet to be determined.

Anyone else try and just fire it up anyway? My first generation MyTouch4G had free Hotspot. On my new S4 I turned it on and got the above message but it still created a hotspot and didn't require me to commit to a plan change. However my laptop doesn't even see it and my old MyTouch sees but fails to connect.
Downloaded and tried that app. No luck. Laptop sees the Wifi and connected but no internet access (Limited or no connectivity) Old Mytouch saw it but was unable to connect.

Wondering the same........
I am currently running jedi 14 tmo version well I am being blocked from using mobile hotspot. Is there a guaranteed work around? Or app? I have unlimited data but I dont have tethering on my plan. If I switch to a non tmobile rom like jedi x14 would that help? Would I still have access to 4g and lte? Thanks to anyone and everyone that can assist.
Update: I installed treve mod and switched some settings, as well as I installed hotspot vpn sheild from the play store. I will post the link to the thread for what I used for settings and I just tethered to my tablet and it works. Also I just tried access control for when tethering to my ps3 helps alot, once enabled click on the ps3 connection.
Thread for settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044225
Make sure to install and run hotspot sheild vpn first before running the treve wifi tethering mod apk

I think the only possible way to go around an upsell page is the user agent method. For a tethering app, use treves mod tethering app

The only sure fire way is vpn / tunneling to prevent them from seeing where your data is being used. Look up sshtunnel app on the market and set up an ssh server at home. Costs absolutely nothing, and very effective. Tmobile can still see what you are doing when you change a user agent change. If on a windows pc tethering, you just need puttyssh and set up whatever browser to use a proxy. Ssh tunnels basically create a socks proxy to connect through, and offer rsa encryption of all data.

Unfortunately its not that easy as I dont think the PS3 has either ssh or vpn capabilities. It is possible using another computer to act as a proxied gateway ( With all of its ports redirected through the tunnel ) , but, its not easily explained.
Just googled and found this.

Similar setup but with using your own server and software rather than theirs
You still need a server running somewhere remotely that you can pipe your connection through.

Is there a specific app that your talking about or will any of the many sshtunnel apps work?

Great input Pyraxiate. I'm doing my homework today since I'm not a vpn expert by any stretch of the imagination. Just to clarify you mentioned settting up the "server at home" which seems backwards to me since it is the incoming internet service of T-mobile which I am trying to tether to. so wouldn't the server be my GN II celly and the client be My PC?
Help me understand if you have the time.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated in advance.
So I went to the (how to guide) here and it describes how to get it with the wifi tether app and being rooted... well ive done that mate.... and I check my t-mobile account and it still uses my 2.5 gigs of free wifi tethering.... is there another way?

If you already have a plan with free tethering what exactly do you expect from this? If you use data, it's going to show up on your account as being used whether you are tethering or not.
I don't expect anything I just thought the WiFi tethering would show up on on my data plan which is unlimited. My tether plan is only 2.5 gigs plan. It does the same as the stock hotspot tethering. Which in turn renders that app "WiFi tethering" useless. Its no big deal just asking the guide said he could use unlimited WiFi tether and T-Mobile didn't charge him for unlimited use... that wasnt the case for me....

It works for all data going in and out of your phone. And it all depends on which vpn you choose. A lot of free ones slow down data speeds to keep it free. Paid ones do not.

If your with Tmobile... use the my tmobole account app
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
STEP 1
"STOCK ROM"
-download "1 click tether" from the market...this will force the internal tethering to turn on
OR
Run an AOSP rom, internal tethering is unlocked in aosp roms
STEP 2
once youve figured out step one, you should be able to tether, whether on aosp or tw ,it dont matter....only problem is, tmobile will soon block you because of your user agent on the computer
so you have two options...
1. download a browser on your computer that supports changing your user agent...chrome, firefox...ect...change the user agent to something other than windows...you can now use unlimited tethering on your browser.
NOW.....This will only give internet to the browser, not the computer globally...The only way to get global tethering on every program on the pc you'd have to set up a VPN...via the phone or via pc...VPN's are usually not free thou
My setup
-Running CM10 ROM
-Using the internal tethering option in the rom
-I use google chrome
-In google chrom i use this extension called "user agent switcher" https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/lkmofgnohbedopheiphabfhfjgkhfcgf
-everytime i open google chrome i change the user agent to "safari on mac"
DONE
Yes try vpn hideman.
