Hi everyone,
What is the story on tethering the HTC Touch with NFSFAN's latest WM6.5 ROM? I heard there was a patch that prevented Bell from realizing it was tethered data usage? Can anyone confirm?

YES
It works just fine, and has for me in every ROM version out there.
Just remember it is called "unlimited mobile browser"......not unlimited data. There is a difference. I use mine when internet is not available and I want to use my laptop instead of the phone to browse XDA, etc. I wouldn't tether and start downloading torrents or songs from limewire etc. That kind of "data" would probably raise a flag. Can you think of any browsing on your phone + gps use (say...google maps) + titanium / m2d weather etc that would use 200mb in an hour????? Probably not, so I use it for browsing, not downloading.
I believe there is a screenshot available on page 1 of NFSFAN's ROM thread.

I was under the impression that there was a “special” way that Bell could tell that you were tethering under the official ROM. I thought there was a “hack” that removed this so that Bell could not tell (except perhaps by shear volume) if you were tethered or not.
How “safe” is it to use it for casual (ie. web browsing, email) internet usage? Am I going to get dinged with a huge bill?
Or, is there no such “special way” that Bell could tell even if I was still using the official ROM?

They can't tell your tethered, it is safe for casual browsing.
I was just warning you about the "sheer volume". You think it would be common sense not to tether and then download movies but you know some people.
I use it once in a blue moon just for browsing, and never was charged any extra, but i use a WDM rom, as long as no one abuses it we should be fine.
Torrents away!
I have pushed over 14 gigs a month on telus using my vogue as a tether, faster than my rogers lite! Have been doing this since Rev A in Sept 08.
Yup, they won't find out if no one goes and uses more than 4 GB in a month (Sprint)

Like others said, it's safe!
I've used multiple NFSFAN ROMs over the past year + on my Bell Touch, and have never run into tether charges. One month I did about 8GB of data tethered to my Acer Aspire One while travelling out of province, and no overage at all.
Just woundering something:
And how exactly do you "tether"?

Connect your phone to your (generally) laptop and wait for a pop up on the phone to ask whether you want to share it's internet connection to the PC.
That's all there is to it, at least with NFSFANs ROM.

Nice! Thanks!
everytime i connect using internet sharing it disconnects seconds later, any ideas or fixes on this
anyone know how to tether with bluetooth os osx 10.5?
i can pair the phone for things like the sailing clicker remote but bluetooth pan wont work and i think ftp stopped working aswell any ideas?
as for using data on there pamphlets they at least used to mention downloading and streaming things like videos,messaging
so i asked at a bell store about the data stuff i could use and i asked about torrenting and showed WMtorrent and they said as long as i followed the abuse policy anything is fine they even noted it on my account
so if torrenting a say 1gb file on the phone is fine and tethering looks as if the data originated on the phone
whats the difference if the torrent was tethered or from the phone its self
currently this month ive used 4.38gb of data and no issues ive done above 6 before though
I use wifirouter to tether with since my internet sharing doesnt seem to want to stay connected for no more than 5 minutes and i play world of warcraft everyday using my vogue for internet and i have used as much as 10 gigs of bandwith and never got charged thru sprint as long as you have the unlimited data on your service plan, which i have the unlimited everything plan with sprint, been doing this for about 3 years now and never once got charged.
I have been tethering the Vogue now for over a year. Streaming, DLing firmwares, upgraded client blackberries, downloaded tunes. Basically done what ever I want. BUT Not often. once or ywice a week.
LOL, as a point though. I do use it for internet radio (resco) for HOURS at a time on device (& up to 9GB/month). so if they ever had an issue, I'd just blame it on that.
Ironically my bill only shows about 10MB of usage!
Im also having trouble like DWC316 my connection shows it is good, but I still cant get any web pages to load Im on sprint and I did have some issues getting my data connection with nfsfans v14 but now it works great on the phone but not on the laptop when I tether...any Ideas?
I have rooted my EVO and I have WiFi tethering working great, but it is slow eats battery. What is the easiest way to get free USB tethering with the stock ROM and root?
P.S. I know about the apps in the market, I have yet to find a free one that allows HTTPS and works but I have not tried all of them so if you know one works tell me
I know you asked for free... but if you can't find what you're looking for, I have Easy Tether and it works just fine over USB. 3G or 4G, and never drops the connection.
I really like having a true infrastructure hotspot (versus the ad hoc) and the only way I have found it so far is by running paranoid. I would like to flash and try other ROMs but not at the cost of losing my real hotspot. Does anybody know of another infrastructure tether that works for the tw ROMs?
10.10.2012
Update: I have tried all the available tethers that I can find on the android tether site, play store, or Amazon app store. Since I have not heard differently I assume that the true hot spot with TW is still locked down. I like paranoid so I can just run it. I was just feeling flash withdrawal. But thanks for all your input.: )
Hello, I use my unlimited data as home wifi, and have been for a while, but I am always afraid that somehow the veri$on tether app (more like fee) will somehow trigger, right now I am using the TikTak rom (for around 10 minutes) and it seems like it's not in this rom at all (the verizon tether deal) can anyone confirm if this is the case, or point me to another rom that doesn't have it?
I'm not real particular with my roms, as long as everything major works and I can still tether. my default is the stock rom just rooted, I like sense and all it's features (though I don't use them all) but am as I said impartial.

tiKtaK has working native wifi tethering and bypasses/does not trigger any Verizon specific restrictions.
Hopefully that answers your question...?

Really? I didn't see that on there, I had a .apk for FoxFi on my storage, and it didn't seem to work on tiktak, so I switched back to wifi tether (the app) I'll pry a little more into that and see how well the native tether works.
also, is there a way to turn off fastboot in tiktak? I had trouble booting into recovery.
Strange, not sure if anyone else is having this issue but I've never had a problem before. T-Mobile is somehow able to really track my tethering even though I'm using TrevE Mod tethering app with my rooted S4. I used to be able to tether a ton without any issues at all. I also didn't have to use VPN which slows down the connection some.
I'm running Evil1rom 4.3 Wicked_v10 with baseband version M919UVUFNB4.
Anyone else recently experiencing this issue? I think T-Mobile is really cracking down now since they really want people to pay for every thing they have.
I searched the threads and couldn't find anything similar to this and if it's in the wrong section please move it.
Noticed that too, I using GPE ROM 5.0.1 and was able to teher unlimited with no problems like a month ago now I cant. Thought it was the ROM updates I had but I flashed one of the previous one and no luck, I wish someone cone with a hack.
No problems here with Xposed moto tether.
Running stock/rooted NH7 , tmo unlimited plan no tether plan.
Using tethering during travel when wifey does her Netflix / Prime / YouTube video binging, mostly while on long drives or at the park (out of WiFi range ) on the tablet, averaging about 11/2 to 3 hrs at most.

Do you know if that works on lollipop?
Don't think so. From what I hear xposed isn't working with lollipop yet.

Yes. I can confirm this. Rooted, Knox free, original 4.4.2. w Tree mod and tether signed zip mod...
Was working fine without vpn.. for many Gigs..
now I keep getting notices I'm at my 5gb allowance via text. Maybe they are sniffing a new type of packet data..
thought it was just me...
Hope this gets fixed.
Cheers
