Hello,
Is there any mod to bypass the tethering limitation?
Let me know how long that lasts before you get your unlimited data plan bumped down to a limited plan. T-mobile isn't playing around anymore.

Unless you have a iPhone. Still works there. Tmobile is using anything that register user agent desktop. You can use wifi tether in the playstore. It works. Just follow the instructions. Lastly if your using it for your computer, then use only chrome and get an add on called unlimited tether. Any questions, you can pm me.
Tmobile reps. Check up on topics like this ALL THE TIME. If you look at some peoples profiles it says that they're T Mobile representative. Let's be free but smart. How about it? Maybe a private message perhaps.

Rooting on its own, won't do anything, but freezing or deleting the tethering manager or the tethering provision (if you're on stock ICS) should get the job done.
Now keep in mind that T-Mobile's tethering detection works by detecting your browser agent. Therefore if you're tethering another android phone, then they won't know (unless they were to inspect packets of data, which they don't do) but if tethering to a PC it's best to install a Web Browser agent switch, so they think that you're really using your Android browser.
Now keep in mind that you're doing this completely on your own risk. It should work, but if they catch you, then there might be consequences.
I did NOT create this app and only take credit for finding and testing it.
So far this is the ONLY WiFi Tether app I tried that works on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4.
I tested it by linking to my Asus TF700 tablet.
1-Click WiFi Tether No Root is a FREE app available on Google Play Store.
Best of all, it does not require ANY tinkering with profile settings.
Just install it,
run it,
click ON
and then search for the WiFi signal from your other portable device or PC.
My Asus tablet found the signal and locked on in less than 5 seconds.
Note: There is also a Pro version available for $9.98 that offers WPA security if you need or want that added feature.
If you appreciate my find, simply click THANKS so I know this wasn't a wasted thread post!

Use firefox with an addon called User Agent Switcher set to android and you'll be fine.
The way T-Mobile tries to stop you from tethering without paying extra (which is total bs by the way) is by sniffing out user agents from things that aren't androids.
I thought tmo allows free hot spot service now for the $50+ plan

I'll quote exactly what it says on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (model SGH-M919) when I clicked the Help menu about using Wi-Fi hotspot:
"To use your phone's hotspot capability, you must have the Smartphone Mobile HotSpot service added to your rate plan."
They key word here is "added" which means it is NOT free unlimited hotspot service.
Here's what it says on the T-Mobile website page about this service:
"T-Mobile's Simple Choice Rate Plans all include Smartphone Mobile HotSpot up to their data limit, except for Unlimited 4G data which includes 500MB of Smartphone Mobile HotSpot. You can add additional capped Smartphone Mobile HotSpot usage: $10 per month per line for 3GB or $20 per month for 4GB."
The FREE app I mention in the OP is FREE. Whether or not T-Mobile can & will
be able to monitor the use of the 1-Click free app is yet to be determined.

Anyone else try and just fire it up anyway? My first generation MyTouch4G had free Hotspot. On my new S4 I turned it on and got the above message but it still created a hotspot and didn't require me to commit to a plan change. However my laptop doesn't even see it and my old MyTouch sees but fails to connect.
Downloaded and tried that app. No luck. Laptop sees the Wifi and connected but no internet access (Limited or no connectivity) Old Mytouch saw it but was unable to connect.

I used to see in my T-mobile My Account app, that i had 500 MB of tethered data to be used, but now that i have the S4, I don't see the option. Go figure, I upgrade, and I lose my ability to tether.
Will this work if Im rooted. Thanks

So what's the point of this app? It just turns on the Normal HotSpot App that came with the phone.

Wondering the same........
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?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
Just tethered about 1gb and it didn't show up under hotspot usuage.

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.

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?
