[Q] wifi tether for root v3.3-beta2 getting tmobile message.

Hi guys Ive been using wifi tether for root. Im on T-mobile's unlimited 4g network. For some reason I started getting the T-mobile message saying I don't have hotspot and I got a text saying I have reached my 500mb hotspot limit. Anyone getting this too? Maybe a fix?

I got that today, idk whats going on I use the wifi tether but not the hotspot

Hotspot = tether - no difference.
The reference to the 500mb limit is new - but have they throttled you yet? If not, just keep on trucking.
If they have, you might consider trying one of the custom ROM's that have native tethering build in. Or, maybe first try the APN Backup and Restore App. It has a modified APN that has worked well for me on the Stock ROM.

Got it yesterday as well using custom rom with tether built in and hotspot shield vpn app. Did T-Mobile find the loophole?

What I meant was that I was using the "wifi tether for root users" app and not the stock "t mobile hotspot" I know hotspot and tether is the same thing lol
Anyways.. today it said I hit my limit of 500MB and ive never used the stock hotspot app just the "wifi for root users"
So now I dont have wifi in my laptop and I have homework to turn in
Just to let you know I used cyanogenmod which has wifi tethering built in and thats when I hit the limit
What do you mean APN? how do I do that? Much help would be appreciated

He/she is talking about this app. But "NOTE: Starting with Android 4.0/ICS, 3rd Party apps don't have access to write APN settings, hence this app no longer works for restoring APN backups as a normal app. You can convert it to a System app using Titanium Backup on a rooted phone and use. Instructions:
- Open Titanium Backup
- Go to backup/restore tab
- Find APN Backup & Restore on the list
- Long press on the app when you find it
- Select Convert to system app
- Open APN Backup & Restore
- Click menu and disable ICS check
But... @gaww I really don't see how this can help. How would one use a "modified APN" if no backup is created. The app is only a backup/restore app if im not mistaken...

I say we both use it and see if that can fix the problem?

The developer of the app also created a modified APN which need to be downloaded and put in the AppBackupRestore folder after you have installed the app per the above. I recommend backing up the stock APN(s).

Does your LTE work with this custom APN?

Don't think so but no way to know. It is an act of God that I even get 4g in western North Carolina - lol.
One more thing. When used with stock ROM, could not turn on tethering with Stock settings - had to install and use Tethering Widget to turn it on and off. I was able to turn it on and off with regular settings on custom ROMs though.

Some pages would load, some wouldn't

I rooted my phone then I Installed Wifi tether for root users and Hideman (gives 4 free hours per day of VPN service).
First turn on the Hideman
Second turn on the Wifi tether
third surf the web (do we still say that)
I Verified with the t-mobile data and it all is going toward my unlimited plan instead of the 500mb hotspot they give.

[Q] Data is Not Working, although it appears to have connectivity

So, im presently having an issue where i cannot use any of my mobile data, wether it be for browsing, push, youtube, etc. none of it works, however on the status bar the network activity icon clearly shows im connected to 4G(Hspa+ not LTE, there is no LTE in my area yet) and it shows the data sent and received icons lighting up constantly, this has happened a few times before but normally goes away after a reboot or a few minutes, however i have Rebooted several times, and wiped my cache partition, and still no fix. and i have noticed in the past day "Android OS" has been using the most data, and the only Wake Locks i have noticed (Via WLD) are just apps attempting to sync thier data

Thats bcuz u went over your data cap

Sprint s3 l710 hotspot help.

I just rooted my phone today. I have root because I have used a few apps that require it so I know that it is working. I have tried every hotspot app and none of them are working for me. It looks like it is going work and then it says it is shutting off because my plan does not allow it. Is there any fix for this. I am just rooted no custom recovery or rom. Thanks

Are you looking for the hacked native Hotspot app? I can't find the link yet, but try this.

[MOD][Deodex][Odex][MB1][MC3][MD4]Hotspot Mod - Working 4G

Ok so I flashed cwm. Now this hotspot hack I am guessing I will install the zip through cwm correct? Which one do I download and use md4 odexed or deodexed or any of the otjer ones? Thanks
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

If you're phone is up to date and stock use the Odex md4 version.

So I just install the md4 odexed zip from cwm and reboot the phone? Do I need to wipe cache or anything since this is nit a rom?

I always wipe caches no matter what I flash.

Hope it works like you need it to.

It worked great. Thank you so much. One more question, has anyone gotten speed throttled or in trouble from sprint for using this? Does it block sprint from seeing that you are using it?

I haven't used it very much, hopefully someone else can chime in.

While it is unethical for you to use tethering without paying for it - Sprint does not throttle or charge you for using it because they do not track it. Once their network gets better and is on par with AT&T/Verizon, they will definitely start cracking down on unauthorized tethering usage. Just bear in mind that if you download heavy files or view steaming media (HD content, such as netflix or youtube), you'll be bogging down the network in your area (all other people around you sharing the same cell site will be affected negatively.) I use tethering for myself, but only when my Comcast goes offline and I try as little as possible to use anything HD while on Sprint's network.

T-mobile capping off data tether speeds after limit is reached.

Hey gang just noticed after I was tethering my note 3 that I hit my data limit apparently.....I use wifi tether router from the app store and apparently the creator does not have a work around for it at this time. Any ideas?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

I found a work around, I was actually flashing DarkLord N5 port and the wifi tether router app would not work on the device. So after a lot of searching and several days of playing on the device. I found a post that was perfect. It works for me ont eh DarkLord N5 port ROM, I don't know if it will work on any other ROM but PM me and I will share the info with you.
