Hello to everyone, im new here on the forums.
I have a quick question regarding driving mode. Do i need to keep my mobile data on in order to use it? and if yes how much data does it use if i leave it on?
Thanks,

If you aren't using any apps then you can turn off data. Only you can figure out how much data you are using.

You can turn off mobile data in car mode, but one of the things that won't work is that maps won't update. Not very useful if you use Google navigation.

[Q] How do I get rid of T-Mo's tethering lock?

I'm on the stock ROM, rooted, but T-Mobile seems to still have a hold over tethering on the phone. How do I fix this?

Answers are there, for your setup though, probably a UA adjustment would be in order

Answers are where, and what is a UA adjustment?
Searching the forum for "tethering" was pretty unhelpful, FTR.

They can always see if you are teathering. You are on their network. They can sniff every packet from your phone. The question is do they want to.

Whst problem? It wont even let you turn on the feature. Use easytether. If you get redirected get the ua spoofer extension for chrome on your computer. UA = USER AGENT. Like.. mozilla on windows 7, Or netscape on mac. Or internet explorer on windows millenium edition

Running apps off a proxy?

Hello more 3 forum. I'm new to something like this. Proxy and vpns.. I'm wanting to bypass blocked sites at my school and possibly any other wifi that blocks sites. I've tried using the tor app and when I attempt to turn it on it just stick at turning on and never actually turns on. If someone could post a guide or a app that allows this I would really appreciate it!

IT for a high school here, we block the protocols for VPNs and proxies. Unless your school is incapable of using Google, it won't work.

The app that comes with it works just fine. Simply pay more for the extra data your using.
The unlimited data plan your paying for is for your phone only, and not for your phone and anything you can connect to it.

I feel like T Mobile Customer service just replied to my post. I know that i can pay more and have more tethering. I just want to have unlimited tethering

I would like to know the same thing. That 5 or 7GB cap for the unlimited data plan is completely useless.

You wont get any good answers here...check other forums/websites.
This site isnt that good

It use to work in the past on my HTC one m7 but not any more.

It turns out USB and Bluetooth tethering works. Bluetooth is a bit slow but USB is really fast.

I have rooted and rom'd my M8, however I cannot even get the native app to work. Seems like that the HTC sync services on my phone don't work. HTC sync does not recognize my phone. Any ideas?

flashing will unblock internet access?

I'm blocked to access wifi internet at work, if i flash a custom rom and kernel I will be able to access?
they blocked some users and others they didnt...

We don't have the full story here. Maybe you should tell why there is a block on you using Wi-Fi at work? We wouldn't want to get you dismissed.

I think they just picked random users and blocked them, with new phones we can connect and some of the olders can to.. Others don't.. I'm just asking because some of you guys understand a lot better than me... And I was going to flash my phone to give it a try...and then I remembered to ask you first..

I think you need to find out what the full procedure is to connect. If it is random blocking as you say, that will probably be by IMEI. It might be you're using the wrong protocol to connect.

The definitions and password is OK, but when connect it trys to reconnect all the time..
So the flash won't work?
