If your reffering to the throttle that your carrier does, you can't get rid of it.

"IP address" that your phone goes through sends your data usage to the company which let's them know how much you've used.
No IP no problem.

(Q) free wifi tethering

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.

Question for Wifi Tether Router (by Fabio) users

Hey guys,
I purchased Wifi Tether Router (by Fabio) and it was working great up until today. Now I receive this message on my browser that I have reached my 2.5GB limit and I will have to wait until next month. I thought whole point of this app was to use my unlimited data and not my free 2.5GB Mobile Hotspot. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

I think you may still have to use a UA switcher on your pc browser. Is easy in Chrome. Just download and install UA Switcher extension and change to Android or safari and see if it works.

After making any access point changes try rebooting your phone. See if that helps.

Persistent data icon even data not enabled.

As the title suggests, I found out that the data connection icon is always on even though I have disabled data connection.
Is this working as it should be? Because my old GS3 doesn't show the icon when I have disabled data connection.
Please take a look at a few screen shots that I have made.

Maybe because of that statusbar mod ?
What happens when you try to use something with data?
For me the icons are there, but are grayed out when disabled.

I'm on Verizon, so no ROMS. Does data work though when trying to go to a website for instance? Seems like an easy way to tell if there is still data being passed through.

Any other suggestions for tether limit?

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?

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 -

Why would you say something so stupid?
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 !!!
