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.
lol
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.

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.

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.

IS there any way to get unlimited tethering hotspot on jellybean 4.3 on tmobile? Cause my limit is 5 gb and I was wondering if there was any way to bypass the data limit. IE free tether free hotspot ect. I have an unlimited data plan though. Thanks in advance
No. 5GiB 4g then it throttles. Don't ask ways on how to bypass something legal.

Search is your friend. Happy hunting.:good:
I dont have any tethering but I use a rom based of of international roms or ge roms. Then use an agent user switcher on your browser for your pc chrome works good. Tmobile bases roms is what has something embeded in the tether feature that blocks it.

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 -
