You can do it, but the only way I've found that works is to download the user-agent plugin for Chrome and set it to android.

I thought I read changing your DNS server usually works when trying to tether to a pc/laptop
I use the built-in wifi tether from CM10 but I only use it for Netflix from by BR player in my upstairs bedroom because my wifi doesn't reach up there and I'm too lazy to go out and buy a relay. For that it works but if I try to browse on my laptop with it, it gets the T-Mo message. You can use the original Wifi tether for root app and change your DNS settings to Verizon's network I think someone said once, but I don't really have a need so I've never tested it.
I will say it is VERY nice to have unlimited data though, no more throttle worries.
You should be able to tether after root, either through an app, a feature built into the ROM, or through other means...
I use wifi tether (hotspot) with my Android tablet and my Windows laptop.
Works great.

T-mobile hotspot app is telling me to change my plan to get hotspot. I was under the assumption the Pref android plan was 5 gb data limit and free wi-fi hotspot. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance
No free wifi hotspot. I thought I had it too but apparently the hotspot plan you see for the Android preferred is for a really old phone..

Ah thanks for the response. I think your right because my rooted Sensation 4G was able to do wi-fi hotspot with a CM10 rom. Maybe if i root the Note 2 then i'll be able to wi-fi hotspot
Check out the forum...there are tutorials to change the apn to enable hotspot [requires root]

yeah you can hotspot with root, but its not that easy, you have to go through a "toggle" from a custom rom.
you can't just "flip" the native hotspot switch.
I would root and do all that stuff, but too much hassle for me.

Hello,
I have rooted my phone and wanted to know if anyone has been able to activate free tethering on the t989? I installed the treve mod wifi tether app but nothing seems to work...

you might want to use one of the modified ROMs such as Jedi Mind Trick JB 1.1 or Infamous's . I dont think free tethering in stock ROM will work.

I tried the generic steps for tethering but I do not have the MSS Clamping option on the one that I downloaded on that page?

The stock roms generally want permission from the carrier to enable tethering. The custom ROMS generally have it enabled by default. One of the tricksy things T-Mobile is doing now though is checking the User-Agent of the browser requesting a page and, if it's not a mobile browser (i.e. you're wi-fi tethering a laptop and using a desktop browser), it redirect you to the "Buy Tethering" page. There are extension for Chrome and Firefox to change your User-Agent.
Non-web traffic seems to be completely unaffected by the new tethering test.
okay so i just signed up for tmobile and got the 2.5 of data and comes with 500mbs of tethering. The unlimited comes with 2.5gbs of tethering, but is still not enough if im going to do it... ( i have a hotspot now using more data) i have used foxfi app in the past but have heard it wont work because it activated the real hotspot feature. If i root and flash a custom rom, if i use native tethering app and im on the UNLIMITED plan, will i be able to tether as much as i want? ( this isnt a ISP replacement, i go out of town often and need for work) And will i HAVE to mess with the browser settings to get it to work?)
As far as I understand using foxfi, if you hit the home button when it gives you a warning about your carrier you should be fine. I did that and it worked fine for me, but I only used it for about 5 minutes.
thats for att customers... if you read foxfi in PS it says to use USB mode only.
I changed my apn settings and now I have unlimited tethering..

Native tethering.
I just completely deleted the t-mobile tethering APN and then changed the apn protocol in the t-mobile us lte (fast.t-mobile.com) APN to: IPv4/IPv6 from just IPv4 and my tethering works perfectly on this rom natively. In fact it screams, I'm getting like 32-38 Mb down and 19-25 up.
I am running Jovy's Darthstalker v3 with his Ultimate Compulsion kernal 5.0. Darthstalker v3 has unrestricted native tethering built in. I also use a "spoofer" extention on Chrome when I use my hot spot, and haven't been throttled or gotten the upgrade toast.

I have the unlimited plan, which includes the 2.5 gigs of tethering. I'm not rooted and I'm using the t-mobile tethering app. I ONLY tether to my Nexus 7 when in the car (mounted on my dash) and used over 6 gigs listening to google play music last month and so far this month 1.3 gigs. It shows up as normal data use for me and not as tethering use when I look online.

I'm using the same rom with the standard kernel. What spoofer extension are you using? Thanks in advance!! I'm trying to set my phone up like yours and I cannot find T-Mobile tether APN to delete it.
Edit: got it working!! which spoofer are you guys using for chrome?

So is the tethering APN hidden on the stock rom? All I'm seeing is T-Mobile US LTE APN right now.

I don't know about any hidden ones or not . But I had the two I mentioned and removed the one specified as being tethering, changed the profile on the other and it worked.

I'm seeing only one on the stock rom. Been meaning to switch to a custom rom but was hoping someone would find a way to flash without setting off the knox counter. Tired of waiting so I'll probably just flash this weekend.

You are most welcome! Gotta love the GN3.
So far I have tried wifi tether router, zip fix to remove provisions, changing apn settings, adding dun to the stock apn, tried wifi tether from the thread here at XDA. And not a damn thing has worked. This is getting ridiculous what other options are there to get around the annoying up sell page?

Thanks I'll try emailing him. and @sevenslugs whats the name of the APN to try I only have LTE, tether (which doesn't stick) and IMS which I have no idea what that is.
If you are using tweaked you should have a "NoLTE" apn for tethering

Yeah that's exactly what I did and when I tether it has never reported more than a few mbs and that's steaming Netflix
I'll try next month when my bill renews i might be having the issue since I'm already at the limit

I'm on Effortless rom and have unlimited tether. Just flash the rom and the SD and tether fix zip. Then, follow the instructions. Go to APN and reset to default and restart your phone. After that, turn on your hotspot and go back to APN and click on the T-mobile Tether APN. Give it a few seconds and it'll automatically switch back to the T-mobile US LTE APN and you should have unlimited tether. You'll have to click on the Tether APN every time you want to tether. This method works for me.

Ding Ding Ding - winner winner chicken dinner -
THAT is exactly what the problem is and I cant understand why nobody on this website (and on these similar threads) have no clue about this, all suggesting 50 solutions, none of which work cause tmo already turned OFF their hotspot after 5g.
NONE of these suggestions are actual "hotspots", they just reroute, or mask the tethered data so it's not reported. These "fixes" do not fix the fact tmo turned off their hotspot after 5g tether.
Once ur new billing cycle starts, ALL these suggestions will work, but until then, NONE of them will work.
Fortunately for myself, I have an unlocked att N3, and I use the att hotspot (which of course does NOT talk to tmo), so I can tether to my hearts content without jumping thru all these stupid and frustrating hoops that the OP is going thru right now -
So OP, u can keep trying all this crap every month, or simply flash the ATT rom on ur N3, and then turn on the blue att hotspot, (instead of using the metered pink tmo hotspot). Then u will be truly unlimited with no tethering limits -

That is EXACTLY how it works, and my billing cycle just ended last week on the 4th, and I used 289.4GB
So how do you explain me getting past tmo's 5g tether limit, month after month, after month !!!
