Does anyone who has the phone confirmed if you can tether the internet to the iPad, and will att detect it?
That is the only thing that stopping me from ordering this phone, because my i4s is jailbroke and I can tether on my iPad without att detecting it, I am on a a 2gb internet plan tho, and I don't want to pay extra to tether. Thank guys in advance.

My first Android phone is the Samsung Infuse 4g, I dumped it after a month for the reason that when I rooted it and tether on my iPad, att detected and sent me a message that I am tethering.
Now I wanted an Android because of the so boring iPhones, owning for so long, and it looks like a free toy on a box of serial now with those large android phones.

Is there a way to tether on a TMobile S3 without rooting the phone?
While the S3 is an awesome phone, not having tethering sucks. I travel alot and hate to pay for internet.
Please help. Would be used for an Vista Windows laptop and the Asus Transformer TF101 android tablet.
S3 has built in wifi hot spot, just pay t-mobile the tethering fee
why don't you want to root? It's pretty simple to do so, and the benefit is great.
Try foxfi some people say it works other say it doesn't.

Last i checked wifi tether with Foxfi was unsupported for our phones. However bluetooth tether worked perfect for me stock unrooted. And I gta ask same question as above, why not just root? You bought a Samsung. Now show it.
Try going to http://foxfi.com/bin and side loading it.
If you go to the play store and look at the Fox fi add on app the site is listed in the description.

ClockworkMod Tether (no root) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEudGV0aGVyIl0.) worked for me. Note that this is USB cable tethering and you need to install a driver on the computer so it won't work on the tablet.

yeah, I use ClockworkMod also. Just make sure not use IE, but use Chrome with UA spoofer (android). When I try to use IE, i got redirected to tmo signup website.
Just tried FOXFI as evercleardoc suggested. It's not working. Maybe it's not compatible with Clcoworkmod?

Just got my EVO LTE, spent all day trying to root it for hotspot. Came across fox fi in the market and it works like a charm. The key is to go the play store and read the description. Tested it on netflix through my PS3. Was gone try BF3 but there was an update. So, I'm cool now til a new root method is found.

Sprint EVO? Which method did you use to root? I have the latest firmware on that phone but can't find a method that works
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.

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...

Full disclosure: I'm using Windows 8 on a Mac.
* Windows 8 Professional x64
* Boot Camp 3.3
* MacBook Pro 2009
I'll update my Boot Camp drivers to 4.0 and see if FoxFi suddenly starts working.
That's not the point in the fine print when choosing the unlimited 4G plan it clearly says u can not tether! The network automatically cuts off tethering on that plan.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know, but I haven't had any luck with FoxFi and Win7 x64 either.
I know paid apps aren't as desirable, but I've found SVTP to work very well and $15 is far cheaper than any other option I've found for non-rooted users like myself.

That means that you don't have a tethering plan. If you can tether w/o the tethering plan then you should be fine.

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.

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
