Is their any T-Mobile branding on that page?
Nope. But there is an upside down android in the upper left corner.
Think he's talking about data connection settings.

yea, I dont think its possible to change the AP settings, not unlesss if you're rooted.
I think everyone is on epc.tmobile.com.... If i remember correctly.
.... still would be interesting... but I have a question for the OP, why do you want to check if that AP works? is for a cheaper data plan, or perhaps a faster domain?
Worked with my 5.99 plan for about 5 hours then I got the upgrade message. Tried all other apns with the same result so I went ahead and upgraded to the $20 plan

I knew they were there but I didn't know you could change them.
You can try creating a new one using that address and just copy rest of the settings?
Id try it, but its too late to experiment. Off to bed.

It won't work sine it is a T-Mobile Branded android phone.
They have the IMEIs and will prompt you to upgrade.
Does anyone have a different experience than scrizz?
I did not know that TMobile actually enforced the IMEIs on the $10/mo plan. I know they don't for my n900.

I DOUBT if android has anything to do with it. I think they are enforcing the smartphone plan on T-Mobile phones....
I'm pretty sure if someone had a xperia x10 with AWS band they can probably walk away with paying the $10 data plan or any other UNLOCKED android phone for that matter.
hmm... that's something to think about next time I buy a phone.

If it's a T-mobile branded Android phone, IT WILL NOT WORK ON $10 web2go
I used to have the Nexus One before I got the G2. Before I had the Nexus One I was using a blackberry so i had the blackberry Internet and used to work with the nexus one and never had a problem with it. The G2 worked for a couple of hours and then it stopped working. It said that i had to upgrade my plan
Before I got my G2, I put unlimited web for phones on my wife's line at $10 per month. Then I got my G2 and gave her my rooted G1. She's had great 3G signal for a few days now without any upgrade messages.

Don't be a douchebag. I was merely saying that I had trouble believing they were checking imeis. Based on further testing, it seems you're right. They do appear to be.

No, 30 flat.
right now i pay $20/month for 5 gigs (got the android preferred data plan)
so that means... i'll be paying $20 for the "value plan" for unlimited data. YAY
I use to be a Tmobile customer but switched to sprint, i cant lie even tho
i have a year left on my contract, i might switch back to tmobile.

I've never gotten a message about it on CM.
I can't really say its illegal, its just not using it through the default application. And @aNYthing24 I have an Even More Family Plan.
I'm on the value plan paying $10/month for 2gb. I will definitely pay $20 to have truly unlimited data.

will tethering work with root? i'm guessing it would but just want to make sure before diving into this.
My life for Aiur
Okay so when I signed up my contract I was on a plan with unlimited Data. I'm never using more then 2 GB, I use the tethering so rarely and yesterday I turned it on because I needed to check something on one website and I got to T-Mobile Page saying that I have to update (wtf?) I already paid for my data, who are they to decide how and where I can use my data? They don't know what the heck they're doing.
I never had any issues like this before, I was tethering just fine and now they suddenly decided that I need to update my plan? Well hell no I'm not going to do it.
So let's pick this thing apart and figure out how to tether without going to their stupid - UPDATE ME page. Mofos what a lame thing they did, I'm so disappointed from T-Mobile right now. (Yea let's do it let's make a couple extra cashhhhhh, it wouldn't hurt rightt??)
I've read that it would work if I delete Tethering Manager or Tethering Provisions with Titanium Backup, I'm on official Stock ICS rooted / I deleted Tethering Provisions only because I don't have Tethering manager in my apps and still nothing - I'm still gething redirected.
I just want to mention that when I deleted Tethering provisions (I restarted the phone, the tethering worked for like 5 minutes and then stopped working again).
So anyone have any ideas how to stop them from screwing around with their clients?
You weren't aware the 2gb plan did not come with tethering? It's told to you when you choose the plan. 5gb and 10gb do, unlimited 4G does not, nor does 2gb.

Tmobile blocks tethering from their end. To tether you'll need to use chrome as tmobile cant tell the difference from the mobile chrome browser.
Ok it doesn't metter I wasn't aware ok? So how do we fix it?

This is the easiest way to make sure it works 100%... You can have tethering working with chrome browser, and most other tablets or phones. Tmobile can't tell the difference. Anything else is hit or miss...
Instead of using the stock tethering option download a separate application for tethering. Although some of them are still blocked I have heard that using the clock work mod tethering app will work. I guess mainly because it uses an app on your phone and a client app on the computer.
But there are several apps out that will get around t Mobile blocking tethering. Just looking up and trying out..
Also if you use AOKP . the built in tethering works fine it might also be the same in cM 10 or even 9. I know this because I use the brand new fully unlimited 4 G Plan and I need full to tether just fine to my laptop without any extra applications.

I use chrome all the time and I get the tmo website. the reason you see the page now is because old tmobile sim cards takes a while for them to realize that you are tethering. as the new sim doesnt. tmobile probably already figured you were tethering.
you can also flash a custom rom and then you can tether that way

I am on Jedi Mind Trick and tethering only works for me on chrome and my ps3 when using netflix or the youtube app... from what i've read tmobile is using user agent strings to block tethering... Meaning if you use IE then they know its a desktop and block it. They dont know the netflix im using is from the ps3... but again, thats what i read. I will try that fox wifi app i read about...

it doesnt state in the OP that you on the new unlimited plan. But either way, its Tmobiles network and they decide what to do with it. Without paying for tethering you will not be able to tether without issues from time to time. Try an app called foxfi, that might work...

That means that you don't have a tethering plan. If you can tether w/o the tethering plan then you should be fine.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
i think alot of the plans come with Tethering (but limited to the amount of data you get before throttling). Only one of the new plans (unlimited data) didnt have tethering built in in my recollection.
in addition to the already mentioned. i read in other threads that you need to use the toggle from the pulldown menu to activate hotspot, otherwise you get the upgrade screen. personally ive always only used the toggle from the pulldown to activate my tether and never received the upgrade screen.

If you are on the unlimited plan, or any plan that does NOT have tethering included, you will be noticed. You have a grace data allotment of i believe 200MB then you are shut off. There are ways around it and Google will tell you those ways
Why is everyone so concerned....
Theres a well known root tether setup for all galaxys called "trevemod tether" with a tutorial in the general sectio for many phones also requires using hot spot shield vpn app .So tether plan or not , you can get away with tethering the data u pay for to any device...
It hides and blocks what u tether to, thus making tmo think your just using a whole lot of extra bandwidth on your device
ROOT is required.

Maybe it is just me, but does anyone else get irritated by people that want to steal bandwidth? Someone has to pay. Maybe people should pay for the features they desire.

Absolutely... I'll make a reasonable effort to be reasonable... I called them and asked to pay for tethering to go with my unlimited data plan... so I can watch some netflix on my phone when I'm away on business. I figured an extra $30 would be fair. They don't offer anything like that... although... they charge $10/MB for roaming data in Canada, so... I won't die of guilt.
Besides, as I'm fond of saying... we can't all beat the system heh heh! :laugh::laugh::laugh: You're right... someone has to pay. Someone not smart enough to figure out how to get a discount. peace bro.
uhhh we already pay for the data service and the hardware and the os which has it built in. there's nothing to feel bad about. I've used 70gb data in a month with sprint and they didn't complain
Has anyone gotten it to work? Mine should theoretically work because it's a part of my shared plan, but it doesn't.

Everytime I click on WiFi hotspot it force closes Settings. I sure hope it isn't my phone because I'm bootloader unlocked and we haven't seen S-Off for this thing yet.
Although I could just reflash stock rom or another rom. I'll call tech support first though.
Did you disable any apps in settings? One of them could've been crucial for tethering.
