No they do not charge you for thethering your phone to your laptop.

They however can charge you for going over you data cap.

TMobil has a Seperate service called "Mobile Broadband" that they charge extra for that is designed as a stand alone product for laptops ect. The Mobile Broadband services are not for tethering your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Yogi3:
Thanks for the app...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
To my knowledge t-mobile charges 15/mo for wireless mobile hotspot/tethering pack
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MvP77:
T-Mobile doesnt charge for tethering. However they will throttle you if you go over your 5GB cap. I been using the stock tethering on my MT4G, Vibrant and Galaxy S and have never been charged for tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GIXXERider:
I've got a troubleshooting question. I'm trying to tether my Galaxy S 4G phone to my laptop and for some reason it didn't install properly. I'm trying to fix it but the troubleshooting options in Windows is looking in their software update servers thinking it's there. Isn't the tethering device/driver in the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anti-up:
You can tether up to 2 devices free, you can add 3 more for a total of 5 for 14.99/month. For somebody like me who has truly unlimited data and doesnt get throttled down, it works great.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
I've been confused about the tethering details; yet, when I signed up for service last month, I was told that I needed that plan. With your constraints, though, I thought that I might be paying unnecessarily for the tethering. I only have a single device connected to my phone -- a cradlepoint router. I only have one computer in my home. The router is for the purpose of connecting my printers into my intranet (which need not be on the internet)...

So, I called T-Mobile and was told that if ANY device other than the phone connects to the internet using the phone's features (as a modem-type device), then I am required to purchase the tethering option (which I do).

What sucks, though, is that I go over the 5GB threshhold... and while TMO can provide webConnect devices with up to a 10GB thresshold, we must change our device (Android device for a ZTE USB device) in order to get it. :(

BTW, the "unlimited" data plan does not mean "unlimited speed" data plan... yes, you can have "unlimited data"... but, after 5GB, you get throttled down... very slow!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
So your saying that since I use my xbox 360 on live through my mobile AP on my phone that I will incur more charges?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
No, I am not saying that you will incur more charges... only saying that, if T-Mobile had their wishes, you would (according to their contracts and licenses) pay the additional $14.99 per month for tethering. As the rep told me, repeatedly, anytime you use "air" time with any device OTHER than the phone itself, you are required to pay the tether fees.

In my case, I pay those fees... (I did from the moment of the contract)... yet, once I have reached 5GB threshhold, I receive a text message advising me that -- since I have reached the 5GB threshhold -- my data connection (while being unlimited in number of GB) will be throttled until the end of my billing cycle.

So, unlimited data? Yes. Unlimited data at max speed? Absolutely not!

I am considering my options...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] aloudermilk:
Is there any one who makes a clip that will mount the phone in a Motorola ATRIX 4G Defender case to the top of the web dock screen in much the same fashion as a web cam on a regular laptop? This would require a connection cable that would plug in the lap dock connector and then plug into the phone where the usb / hdmi ports are at. That is my biggest criticism of the defender case is that you cannot use the web dock with the case on. This would allow me to keep it in my case and still use it in the web dock with the added bonus of being able to use the web cam at the same time which is impossible now. I think if some one offered this, everyone that bought a defender case for there atrix would buy that also. I would gladly pay up to $75.00 for this and I think they could make a lot of additional monies off of it too :-)

i've made a hardreset via the bootloader on my hd2 and now when it has booted, sense crashes at the startup all the time and i can't see the device on the Pc (win7) i've tried to flash the dft rom again but i can't get no usb connection in the bootloader(wait usb) or the magldr menu(i have magldr 1.12). the led light is orange it's charging and it shows the menu of the connections for the pc /charge, htc sync etc... but even no connection. have i bricked my phone? :/

When you go to HSPL (tri colour) with your USB connected does it recognize your HD2 there?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] graf_schokola:
no, it doesn't, when i connect the usb-cable to my hd2 and then connect it to the pc and go to the HSPL there is no usb or serial at the bottom, it is only white but when i got to the HSPL without connecting to the pc i have serial, does it matter?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yeah that's like the most important thing. Have you tried a different USB socket/cable?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] graf_schokola:
yes different sockets but only the cable i have
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Ohh well try use get a different cable. Ant old micro USB will work. I don't think there's anything you can do if SPL won't even recognize it. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] graf_schokola:
okay, i will try a different one, hopefully it works

have you reinstalled windows mobille device centre? sounds like the drivers are not installed correctly
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Eelkede:
Or Reboot PC, I had this problem, and freaked out. Till I rebooted my PC, and everything worked again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
The drivers wouldn't matter. The PC would still recognize the connection between both phone and PC. I actually never heard of this problem before. I only had a HD2 for 3 or so months though. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
drivers do matter, i uninstalled the windows device centre then when you boot magldr it will stick and not find the usb, so yes drivers do matter, it was only upon reinstalling the drivers that it was found in magldr usb flash mode
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] graf_schokola:
yes i uninastalled wdc and no connection, i installed it again and it has tried to install the driver but unknown device no drivers found or device removed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yes they matter for flashing this through MAGLDR and if you don't have them you'll get a RAPI.DLL error. MAGLDR isn't the same as the bootloader though. The bootloader should just recognize the connection. But obviously there's something wrong with the phone as the phone when in bootloader isn't trying to do anything.

Lol I fail at explaining it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] graf_schokola:
can i flash the windows mobile leo.nbh via the sd card?

i've flashed the artemis rom via the sd but there was winmo installed does it work when i have android installed?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Erm I don't really understand the question but if you mean can you flash the stock Leo ROM over MAGLDR and Android well then yes it is. Just rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and pop your SD card in and flash it. So you've flashed Artemis ROM already? I'd rather flash that as you still have HSPL and not SPL. But yeah you can easily flash the stock ROM via SD card and it will flash over Android. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] graf_schokola:
no i havent flashed artemis

i want to flash the stock htc winmo rom3.14

i have SPL-2.08. HSPL

Hmm flashing wp7 via the sd isn't possible, yet? am i right? :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yeah you're right its not possible. Don't think it is possible anyway. If you flash stock you'll lose HSPL and just return to stock which is 2.08.0000. If you do that and it fails you'll be stuck in the bootloader and won't have the ability to flash anything because you need HSPL to do that. So I recommend you flash a custom WinMo ROM from the SD card first and see if it works. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] graf_schokola:
okay i'll try a custom rom, thank you :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shadowhacker27:
Im also waiting for a response. My phone just shows SERIAL in bootloader. no USB signs at all. The phone charges on Android, but it doesnt load the SDCARD to be seen on windows. My be a Radio problem because when I try to flash anything from the SDCARD (holding vol down and turning on), the screen show the tricolor, then flashes really quick like in 1/4 of a second, then go back to the tricolor. its getting painfully annoying! Anyone with some sort of solution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kipu:
I have the same issue. Any solution?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] skiwithpete:
me too same problem.

I cant connect via USB.

When I boot to the three colour screen, it says serial and when I plug it into Win7 x64, it says it cannot find device driver and the bottom white panel either keeps the word Serial on it or goes blank...

Im stuck on magldr 1.11 until I get this sorted.

I have even tried putting magldr.nhb and renaming it leoimg.nhb and entering the bootloader via the three colour screen but it freezes on the gray screen saying loading...

Please help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mojtabaah:
there is no serial at the bottom of my bootloader page:(why?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rogerG27:
It seems there is no way to connect my HD2 via USB:

Bootloader - no "USB" below tricolor screen

MAGLDR - Does not recognise it

CWM - Mounting USB does not recognise it

ROM - just charging

:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] theslam08:
Well I finally found the topic that I needed really badly...

Im having the EXACT same issue, cannot get USB to show up on the tri-color screen....Nor in MAGLDR USB Flasher.

It used to work fine, sync with WMDC and I would get USB at the tri-color screen. But I ended up formatting my computer with a fresh install of windows and it now hasnt been the same since :-/. It has to be drivers...but it just comes up unknown device in device manager....ugh so frustrating....been googling for weeks, cannot find anywhere to get the drivers for this...

Anymore ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chentang:
Hi, guys, I got the same problem with USB connection. Hope someone could give help to solve this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PPKLP:
Me too! It does charge, but won't 'connect' to PC.

There must be some genius on this forum who can figure this out!?!

For me al the problems began after a complete battery drain. After recharging the battery and the first boot I noticed that nearly all of my apps stoped worked (gave a force close) and that included clockword Mod! It looked to me as if it was a problem with the SD card mounting or something... But my SD partitions were still in tact (both the ext3 and fat) when I looked at them on the PC true the SDcard reader. And I could still acces my music and data files true root file explorer.

There where no changes in my PC configuration and I've tried my home PC (win7) and my office PC (Vista) also a different cable. None of those things made any difference. therefor I must conclude the problem must be "in" the phone/ROM.

I can't flash the original ROM back to see if that would fix the problem (I think it would) because after CWM was reinstalled it doesn't boot into recovery anymore... :(

Could any of you genius give this issue some serieus thought!? I'll buy the one with a working solution to my problem a beer! ;)

EU HTC HD2 (Leo512)

Android 2.3.3 / CM7 Nightly-Desire (TyphooN_v3.0.0-MAGLDR)

MAGLDR 1.13

Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PPKLP:
Nevermind! I fixed it... It seems that it was a windows error of some sort. After a clean install of windows 7 at home I got everything to work properly again and I flashed MAGLDR again to make sure everything was working and installed ICS.

And coming to the office this morning I realised that I'm an even bigger idiot then I ever thought was possible! Since all my cables go neatly round the back of my desk and then disapear into a huge knot of wires I never realised that I had taken my USB cable out of the PC (where it has been for years) and stuck it directly into the charger (because I had one extra since a few weeks)! That explains why I couldn't connect to PC but it did charge the battery!

So I do suggest that everyone in this topic goes under there desks and check the USB connection first so you don't feel as stupid as I do!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
yea dont worry guys its not your hd2 :p

what usually happens is that depending on peoples win installation,

sometimes the device wont find the drivers for some weird reason.

but usually and i think the only solution for this is finding the drivers yourself,

or just take it to another compuer, ( preferrably 32 bit ) with internet connection, and put it in bootloarder mode and plug it in. It should find and install the necessary usb files for you, and once thats done, you guys should be in the clear!:D

hope that works.

I got stuck showing "serial" on the bootloader screen as described by many....I found simply reinstalling the windows mobile device center did the trick...assume that installs a driver set that is/was missing and/or corrupt.

Certainly it worked!

Same here! Downloaded the program from the Microsoft site and it asked me about the Genuine Windows Validation. No sweat I thought, but then it gets stuck because (you won't expect it), the version you downloaded is the old one. Even though I downloaded it through the link Microsoft gave me itself.

Anyway, found a website which allowed me to download it without any questions asked and pronto: it worked!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rycheme:
Hi guys - search is currently not working for me, so I hope you'll forgive me if I'm asking a question that's been answered before. I know that 16GB is the size limitation for the Eris' SD card based on HTC's website - is this still true for current Gingerbread ROMs? I wasn't sure if the size limitation was due to the OS, formatting, or something else entirely. I'd like to put in a 32G if I can in preparation for the Thunderbolt later on when I'm eligible for my upgrade :)

Took me a little bit too, but I did find a link with a confirmation that a 32GB card will work: http://www.droid-eris.com/general-htc-droid-eris-discussion/max-eris-sd-card-size/

OK, so I had Orb working through the normal browser with the hacked version of flash, but now with new version I can't get it to play through the browser, I have tried both mobile and desktop views in the settings, I have tried reloading the hacked version of flash, I have tried different browsers, I have tried reseting after installing the old flash, and they all want me to choose a player which plays like crap rather than a browser that will play it well. I did finally get it to switch to browser mode after Installing the hacked version, but it wouldn't play, just hanged up, so I reset and tried again and again attempted to force me to choose a player.

Anybody that has this working consistently I would appreciate knowing the browser and settings you are using, thanks.

Recently (as in a few days ago) coming from an Eris, which was 'end-of-life' in the middle of last year, and then received Gingerbread almost instantaneously after it was released to the public thanks to our fine devs here at XDA, I highly doubt the DInc will die out any time soon. This phone has way too much potential.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blockhead42:
I expert it do die down in time, but the CM machine will keep chugging. Honestly, so long as Cyanogen has a DInc ROM, I'll be content. I use launcher pro, and prefer stock android over anything else, so not having new versions of sense isn't a big deal to me. Sometimes I like to jump on the MIUI train, but I always end up back with Cyanogen. They always support their phones so well, I imagine development for cm will continue long past the DInc's shelf-life.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkencool:
I think even if it does dwindle, it will only be minor. As long as we have CM and a good maintaner we should always have something new and better to throw on our phones. The only thing is I've always wanted to see AOSP roms with tv-out but I see very little future in anyone dev that now that interest in it has died down.

I may be completely wrong in saying this but i think the tb is actually going to increase the amount of dev on the dinc. When you look at the evo and dinc there are roms that run on both. From what ive heard of the tb its basically a evo just a lil bit better. So as soon as a good way is made for easy transfer of rom from tb to dinc or to evo we will have more options on the dinc. Plus as soon as the problems are sorted out of how to get tb roms and code to run on the dinc we will be getting more updates to stock releases.
