I have a rooted mytouch 3g slide running CyanogenMod 7.
This has a built in WiFi tethering application. Will I be able to use this without the $15 tethering option from T-Mobile? Are there any tethering apps I can use and not be charged extra by T-Mobile?
Thanks
I can't think of a way tmobile would know if you are wifi tethering. Go for it
Cyanogenmod 7 nightly oc @ 825
I've got ArayrayMod on mine and been using it works like a charm and tmo hasn't sent me
anything and had my G1 rooted and tethered for months it should be safe enough if no one
has had any issues before I don't why there would be one now.
Allrighty, thanks. I'll try it.
Now that I think about it, I'm on a flexpay plan so I prepay for my service at the beginning of each month, so its not like they can charge my extra
Ok, so I recently bought a Samsung GS3 from my sister that has T-mobile. I took it to metro and they unlocked it and activated it for me. I chose the $50 Plan which gives me 2.5gb of Blazing Fast Internet. I also purchased the mobile hotspot. When I reached 2.5gb of data, it slowed down. I tether to play xbox. Unable to afford legit internet lol. Before, I was able to tether with my LG Motion 4g for free!. I never lagged as much, I was able to connect my tablet and ran with some smooth speeds. (with the $50 Plan). So I called and managed to call metro pcs and they were able to change it back to the lg motion. My speeds were still slow!. I asked them if I can change it to the $60 plan since it was unlimited and they said that Tethering is not compatible? Is there a way to have Unlimited Data and tether at the same time? I don't want to pay for Unlimited Data without being able to tether to my other devices. HELP!
You can't add tether to the $60 plan, but you may be able to tether if you flash roms with native tether enabled, or search and find other ways to tether.. And on a side note, they did not unlock your device, all T-Mobile phones are compatible with metroPCS

Hi, I was one of the att customers who was getting screwed/throttled after paying monthly for unlimited data for many, many years. After 2 consecutive months getting shut down on day 2 of my 30 day cycle I said "screw it", bought an unlock code, and now have tmo no contract, truly unlimited for $80 monthly, (with only 5g tethering). I downloaded the tmo app so I could track usage and pay my bill, (but froze tmo hotspot with titanium backup)
Using my att hotspot (which can't communicate with tmo) I routinely tether 6-7 devices using about 100g per month and have eliminated my $180 per month Uverse with mid-speed internet.
My speeds are routinely at 30-40 mbps - Life is good!
Flash back 3 months ago ............
I talk my friend into ditching sprint and his silly little iphone 4s, telling him about tmo truly unlimited, and I buy him a tmo branded N3 off of swappa, (since he was going to tmo). I knew very little about tethering back then, but knew tmo hotspot would meter his tethering.
So now he has hit 5g and his hotspot has been turned off.
Is there a way to install an att hotspot, (or any other) on his stock tmo N3 (which is rooted) or do we need to install a whole new rom? Looking for a quick, unmetered fix -
(PDA net has been mentioned a zillion times but does it really work like my att hotspot, set it/forget it) masks all tethering?
As usual, my answer is pay $2.50 for Wifi Tether Router... set a password... everything else default... Done.
At least... it works for me.

Not working for me, tried a zillion settings, (it's been a couple of weeks).
Funny thing is, I can get to google, I can type in "nfl", a bunch of links pop up, but when I click on one, won't connect, spins round and round, then times out. Links to pages won't load? How can I access google, (and other sites), but then that's it?, I thought I was either connected to the internet, or NOT? anyways .......
I think is has something to do with T-Mobile turned off the hotspot at 5gs tether, and these programs are NOT hotspots, they just mask the data so it cannot be measured. and when they turn on tmo's hotspot, it doenst work.
If I turn on tmos hotspot, I get redirected to their upsell page).
(maybe wifi tether routher will work in a few days when the new billing cycle begins and the hotspot is turned back on)
That being said, I originally asked how I could install the ATT "hotspot" so I could use that to tether, (like I do on my unlocked att N3 that I run a tmo sim in). the att hotspot cannot communicate with tmo so I tether 100gs per month and tmo measures zero data tethered.
So how can install the att hotspot?
I probably have to install the entire att rom, that's fine?
The phone in question is a rooted tmo. Can someone tell me how to install the att rom so I can get my friends N3 work the same as mine has the last 5 months using atts hotspot?
"at&t wifi hotspot on T-Mobile"
I still haven't received an answer to this question.
I'll expand it a little bit .... Can I install the stock at&t rom on my tmo N3?
(if so, can u post a link so I can get started - thx
Forget installing a at&t rom... If you are rooted.. Just install a different rom that has unlimited tethering.. Trust me it will work.. I tether WAY more then the 5gbs thats allowed.. And I havent been throttled or anything... My hotspot still works great
Hello and thank you for taking your time to help me out.
I have a rooted samsung note II T-mobile phone on t-mobile network. My problem is this: I use to have 3GB of data that I was able to use to connect my devices on. I realized 3GB is not enough for me so I upgraded to T-mobile's "unlimited 4G data + 5GB of mobile hotspot" (This is the only unlimited data plan T-mobile offers). The problem is that when the 5GB of mobile hotspot is used up, it won't allow me to connect any of my devices anymore until my next cycle. Is there a way to bypass this 5GB of mobile hotspot that comes with my plan and tap into this unlimited 4G data to connect my devices? Thank you again for any advice.

Here's where I went, and it's worked great for me. I have 19 gigs of tethered data and I do not get an upsell webpage!

I was a Verizon subscriber until February & switched to AT&T. Had Unlimited Data with Verizon as I do now with AT&T. Used FoxFi on a Verizon Samsung Note 4 to create a hotspot and it worked beautifully. I am using the same Verizon Note 4 on AT&T & the FoxFi Hotspot still works, do not have 4G/LTE just H+ speed. My Verizon Note 4 is dying. I need to keep my hotspot feature. Have a few options listed below.
1. Verizon Internation CDMA GSM Dual Mode Device. Will I be able to get 4G/LTE using GSM?
2. Am I able to enable a hotspot on unlocked AT&T device. Partial to Samsung but not married to it.
3. Need to avoid Rooting, my Lyft Beta App will not operate on a rooted device & neither will the Uber Driver App.
4. Any suggestions that you know that works.
If you don't want to root, then you will have to get a new verizon phone in order to use the Foxfi hotspot feature. I have been dealing with the ATT unlimited data and working around ways to hotspot on it. As of now due to the verizon phones being CDMA the best speeds you will receive will be H+
I don't know why ATT phones cannot use the hot spot feature through Foxfi, I due know you can tether and use a bluetooth connection with an ATT phone using Foxfi, however for now to hotspot keep using a verizon phone with Foxfi. As of now I know all Verizon phones can hotspot through Foxfi, not just the note 4.
Hope that helps!
