T-Mobile's $15 tethering option??

Engadget had an article that states Tmobile will now charge for tethering starting sunday Nov. 14th. I am wondering if us who have been able to root the G2 get charged for using the tethering option? If so i can always use wireless tether but the built in android hotspot is much better in my opinion. If anyone knows the answer that'll be great as i dont want to get charged without knowing.

No. From what I've been able to gather, there's no way for T-Mobile (or anyone else) to tell the difference if you're tethering or just using standard(phone) mobile data.

Well something I just noticed today was a redirect to an upsell page. This is using the G2 with PDAnet, I have had no luck getting the native tethering to work. I will keep trying and see if I run into that same issue. I'll also post a pic of the page that it'll take you to.

here's the lovely site you'll get trying to get you to buy the subscription to tether. I have also noticed that G1 and MT3G1.2 and they're still able to tether just fine.

Well I just tethered without getting that message so I guess us rooters got around their trap!! Niiiice

tmo probably made and agreement to not remove pda net from the market if they made it to where tmo could check if the user is tethtering with pdanet

Actually, I am rooted and I was using PDANet, followed by Wifi Tether and I got the page both times.

this sounds like either they are filtering for user agent(easy to bypass), but then again i could be wrong. i used to use pdanet, and even paid for it(didn't like wifi tether on G1 because battery temp would get too high) and now if i can't use that app i'm going to be very upset. try changing your user agent to "Android" and see if you can tether

they will only notice if you pass the 3gb - 5gb limit, refrain from downloading while using tether.

WIFI tether

i cant seem to find anything on this and if im just missing it im sorry for the thread...
Is there wifi tethering available for rooted gnexus cdma/lte?

I know it is built into some of the available ROMs. I use Gummy and I can verify that it has wireless tether and that it works just fine.

Ok, gotcha. Thought those were tracked by Big Red. (and whats the difference between tethering and hotspot?)

Teathering is, technically, any form of using your phone's internet via an outside source (USB, WiFi, Bluetooth.....serial..etc).
Hotspot is, specifically, WiFi, and can have multiple users.

Elixir 2 widgets make a hotspots toggle and it works on unrooted nexui too

Actually similar to the T-Bolt if you are stock then hotspot requires a separate plan which the application will tell you when you try to run it.
If you are rooted than the hotspot runs without any additional plans. I'm on AOKP and the portable hotspot works very well.
Yeah I'm sure verizon knows when another device is shareing their connection because each device leaves a different signature on their networks. However, there is an ongoing debate on whether Verizon's blocking of tethering apps outside of its service is in violation of the terms of the purchase of the "C Spectrum" aka 4G LTE they acquired at the auction years back. Read here: http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/11/04/hotspot-tethering-fees/

Hello,
I'm about to switch to Verizon from the ET4G. Can someone help point me to the closest to stock root that allows me to tether? I'm not sure if it is the same on this phone but for the ET4G there were some close to stock roots that I could put the wifi_tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether on my phone.
Since I'm brand new to ther GN, feel free to recommend a better route.
Thanks in advance, this site was extremely helpful with all my ET4G inane questions.

Who's your telco?
Are your APN settings correct (Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names)?
Do you have the right network type settings set (Settings -> More... -> Network types, and/or dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information -> Set preferred network type)?

Hey thanks for getting back to me. Sorry I forgot , I am on ATT. newbie to all this so not quite sure about all that APN stuff

Go into setting/more/mobile networks/network mode and make sure either lte option is selected as well as in access point names make sure att&t lte is selected

Check your APN settings and since you're on AT&T just Google "AT&T APN settings" and it should be the first link. I'm still new so I cant link yet. :/

Same problem here and connection to LTE is very intermittent. I'm on Telus and I've tried both the LH1 and LK4 modems to no avail. It always connects to 3G or H+ and then tries to connect to LTE and I see the following "dead" signal bar:

mate20x hong kong version tethering problem

my mate20x from hk, should be same as grobal version as it came with google services.
the new problem i found was when i share wifi to others my phone will go offline and cannot connect to internet.
i found out it was an old problem for many huawei phones.

I have the exact same issue with the 3uk sim. Hot-spot works with ee sim correctly but not with 3uk sim. I was on the phone to 3uk today, changed apn settings but nothing happened. I bloody did a hard reset but that still didn't rectify the issue. Threes technical support said they will call me in few hours to see if they can find any solution. I have the global version from wonda.

I found the solution from previous Huawei forums. Add a new apn and where it says apn type paste this default,mms,supl,ia,dun,entitle
Magically that solves the issue.

I have attached the picture, just change the apn type in your new apn. If the phone doesn't let you save the setting after editing then just press back button. And select the edited apn. Then put your Hot-spot on.

Thanks but..

Imagine my disappointment when your fix didn't work. :crying:
I get a "your carrier does not allow you to add dun APN's" message and the new apn is not there when i use the back key.
I'm on unlimited data and 30Gb tether.

Mine works without any issues now after adding the new apn. I almost use it every day for work purpose. Try this may be, reset the network settings. Then try to add the new apn. Make sure in the apn type don't leave any space between the commas. Press the back key and see what happens.

My oneplus 5 could and still can tether.
I have tethering on my contract.
Unlimited data on device, 30Gb of which is tetherable.
I heard they removed the tether cap, but i've never been anywhere near 30Gig so i don't care.

thks. that worked!

I got this too, seemed there as the default APN and then one for tethering, removing the 'dun' from the hotspot APN and saving made it work for me - now hotspot and phone data are working.

Messenger and Whatsapp calls not working ONLY on mobile data

Hey guys.. a bit of na issue here.
I was abroad and had my roaming on (NO DATA only calls and SMS)
When I returned back home and turned on my data my Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp calls are not working on Mobile data. They work just fine on Wi-FI but not on data.
My APN is configured as it should be (checked that with my provider).
Any thoughts, advice?

good point. I have hangouts since I have gmail anyway.
i'm sure you've checked you have remaining transfer.
1. i'd turn on mobile data, turn the phone off, reinsert sim, turn on.
2. if not - reset network settings.
3. if not - https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-cellular-data-not-working-on-android/
i'd try 1, 3, 2.

Transfer (balance) checked.
Reinserted SIM. SInce it's dual sim I tried the second one. The second one is working (it's a different provider). Tried swapping cards and the issue follows card.
Reset network settings to no avail.
Tried changing APN to no avail.
Carrier keeps telling me they can't do anything. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset but I don't want to brick my phone.
Anything else I could try?

Check your settings according to mine which work fine.
