There are a million ways to get around this of course: market hacks, downloading the apps from other sources, side-loading... they're included with most roms... blah blah blah.

Just bringing this to your attention in case you were trying to d/l it from the market and it's not showing up. Now you know why :)

Why do they give us data hungry phone and then want to limit our usage?
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Technically we agreed not to use these, but still. Getting around it is so trivial, and yes, this might trip up a few noobs, but chances are if you're that nooby you wouldn't have a need for, or even realize that, tethering is an option.

Add that all up, and it seems like the only thing this move can get you is bad PR/karma.

You may as well be "cool","allow" it, and play the "other carriers try to tell you how you can use your phone and limit your access to certain apps" card, cause it's happening either way.

Sprint can and will cancel service with high data usage.

Easier to find apps that way anyway. Plus it shows all that I've ever downloaded if I look at my library.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
That's what the OP says dude...

Easier to find apps, yes. Shows your previous download library, yes. Once you click on an item that is no longer offerred, it will tell you its no longer available for download. You basically stare at the husk of an app it once was. But it doesn't tell you that til after you click on it to view its details.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Meh i never used tether apps i use the official hotpot hack :p ;)
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
I like that one better. Its not an adhoc connection like the tether apps, but an actual hotspot that your computer actively looks for and can become a preferred network. Its just kewler.

Doesn't log your data usage though, only downside really.
[Epic 4G General] rangerover_95:
What's about "unlimited data?"
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
Really only applies on your phone, as in, the data your phone is using. Tethering is a whole new realm. Sprint can tell if you're tethering or using your phone, so if you have a large amount of data through tethering, they'll flag you for it.

I think they're putting limits on tethering plans now, somewhere around 5GB or so I thought.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
Plus it is stable and doesn't cause reboots ;) and its built into settings so u also get usb tethering too :D:D

Also i like it cause it has many different security types and i found one that works with my ds :D:D

Only one LOL
[Epic 4G General] bohiti:
They can make you pay for the use of *their* tether app, but I'd like to see evidence that they can tell if your using the likes of a rooted phone with Wireless Tether. I think of this situation the way I viewed using a wired/wireless switch off your home broadband ISP back in the day. For me, Charter only allowed one registered MAC address to the cable modem, and there was some FUD spreading around that you'd get "busted" for using a switch to provide service to multiple computers. Of course there was no way to tell unless they get really invasive. Similar deal here. Hopefully restrictions on phone tethering will seem just as crazy in a few years.

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Actually they can't. The data logger only kicks in if you pay for the Hotspot app. They can't tell the difference if you are tethering or downloading tons of movies to your phone.
[Epic 4G General] swear0730:
Actually... I decided to use my Epic as a wireless hotspot about 3 days ago and was didn't find any wifi tether apps using my phone so I used my PC 'cause I knew I'd downloaded one before. (wifi tether). Went through my library, found it and pushed it to my phone.

(cool story bro)
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
You forgot "I think" in the beginning of that sentence - you can't "know" something that is false, so that would be the only edit that would make your sentence accurate. Oh, but you'd still be wrong, just to be clear
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
"Unlimited data" only means that you aren't going to get billed for going over x amount.

It doesn't mean Sprint just has to lay back and take it from someone who's costing them money to have as a customer, tethering or not. They reserve the right to tell any of us to beat it.
[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
now that the iphone is on the sprint network they need to watch the usage a bit more. everyone knows what the iphone did to AT&T

least that is my take
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
I agree completely, but it's not even an everyone knows what they did to AT&T anymore, it's more apparent now most people who use 3G now can feel the effect of Sprint not being ready for the iPhone, and they have to watch data a lot more closely now due to that.

They've never been able to tell if you're tethering for free, or using data but they know when people go overboard, on regular data which points to tethering.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
Think CIQ would help them with that if they wanted to get that invasive?

It uses your phone model, firmware version and carrier field to find apps for your phone, not your IP address. Not to mention blocking all those apps is a work-in-progress. They will all disappear slowly.

lol:D
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
Ew, gross!
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
How? What if you decided to start downloading lots of movies? They can't tell. Verizon customers are getting billed for huge overages without tethering. There is no way to know and they have to prove it. The only grounds I see for cancellation is roaming.
[Epic 4G General] orb360:
So... My phone is no longer activated... How do I change my carrier field so the apps show up again?

I'm not using their network... They shouldn't be able to control what apps I do and don't get... Not that I care about tethering apps with no data plan... But what if they start restricting high usage apps like netflix? What recourse would I have then?

This is my second post without reading every post in here...but here goes.

Sprint CAN tell when your tethering. There's something about computer packets vs android packets blah blah nerd talk. Read it a long time ago. But I know sprint CAN and DOES know when you tether. They just don't care

sent from my cm7-ified epic
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
From what I read about it (from their website, I think), open garden is based off of wifi tether's open source. It sounded like the only thing they changed was to add GPS tracking, with the advertised purpose of seeing a map of other users. I say, who cares? I just don't want my phone and location added to that list. Stick to wifi tether, same code without the tracking
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
Can you provide some backbone evidence of this, because the seniors of this android community and I disagree... If it's a baseless accusation of knowledge, then it needs to be quickly dismissed. However, if this is true then we need to get the word out,

The only way I know of is to use a ROM that automatically changes that for you. SRF for instance, changes the carrier name from "Sprint" to "ACS". Another option is to obtain a "hacked market". There are many, so just do a few searches carefully. In the developers notes, it will say something like "changed phone Identifier from Epic to GalaxyS", which in-turn would allow you to download apps not available for the Epic but available for the GalaxyS.

A high-usage app like Netflix has been sideloaded many ways. I used the HD version built by SamSprint long ago before the Epic got the official release of Netflix for itself. If netflix exists, there will be people to port it onto any phone. Rest assured, my friend.
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:

While those are more aimed towards att, it should work the same for sprint. Sprint is losing service and if tethering keeps people with it, so be it I think.
[Epic 4G General] Xhyperion:
Restrictions apply
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Accordin to the cvomments posted in the XDA thread it appears ATT was just guessing. They sent letters to people streaming music and video assuming they are tethering. I don't believe they have the technology and resources to check millions of phones, especially if streaming Pandora and Netflix looks the same to them. Not saying they can't do it, just seems improbable.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Regardless of what anyone thinks Sprint should do, no-one's contract actually includes free tethering, and it explicitly states that it is not allowed. Unlimited data is offered for on-phone use. Here's a little qoute from my contract,

Prohibited Network Uses. .........

an activity that connects any device to Personal Computers (including without limitation, laptops), or other equipment for the purpose of transmitting wireless data over the network (unless customer is using a plan designated for such usage);.....

Unlimited Use Plans. If you subscribe to rate plans, services or features that are described as unlimited, you should be aware that such "unlimited" plans are subject to these Sprint Prohibited Network Uses.​

So the header on this thread should say...

Sprint makes it harder to find apps that allow you to steal free tethering.

I'm not saying you should or shouldn't use the app, but at least accept what you are doing. Sprint has every right to block apps that are designed to breach their terms of service.

[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
I don't think anyone here disagrees with you.

Nah, click the source links at the top. It will make more sense why I chose the header I did.

I most certainly agree. If it were my network, I would be doing the same thing. But if it were my network, I would be trolling sites like these to see what people have been up to in order to make a more effective effort to protect my assets too. So lucky us :P
[Epic 4G General] BigOnes69:
An App called Market enabler can change your carrier ID for the market. I used it with my touch pro 2 with Android. Now I just email or have one of my friends email me apps through Titanium Backup. Its easier.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
I read that article and I think I understand a little more about what you were trying to say. Here is a quote from the article,

TTL applies to idiots who were using tethering not knowing that their data was traveling through AT&T's network proxy servers. That's really how Telco's figure out what your data usage is like, by logging it through their proxy's. In doing so, they are able to detect the TTL (Time-to-live, a header at the beginning of every piece of a file sent - indicating how long it will live, or many hops between network servers, before it reaches it's intended destination before it is considered lost.) because that TTL was logged as it passed through a tower.

If you are using a ROM that gets rid of the Sprint proxies, like SRF, then they only know what sites you are requesting through the logging of the DNS servers they assign your phone. K0nane is one for privacy, so when he designed it originally, he didn't even want his users using the same DNS servers Sprint would assign users, so he made his ROM users use a different DNS server he knew about so that Sprint couldn't track your browsing that way either. But now that the seperation of the logging has occurred, there is no way they could know that your phone isn't just streaming media or downloading large files to it.

If I were a Sprint data analyst and I was trying to track which phones are using tethering, I would start by using the following reasoning:

1.) Every phone has a maximum amount of storage it is capable of handling. For example, if a phone is only capable of handling an SD card up to 8GB in size, and only 300MB of ROM memory.

2.) This user downloaded 10GB in one day, in one session, all continuously. There were no data interruptions this entire time.

3.) I obviously know this user is tethering because there isn't enough time to stream Netflix at maximum bandwidth and reach this quota and there isn't enough storage on this device to save a 10GB file.

This user is obviously using this phone to tether. There are MANY ways around this line of reasoning, but if I wanted to get technical, that's where I'd start and work my way up from there.

[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
...Uh, sir? What are you trying to say, Godfather?
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
ORLY ;)

This is the point I was trying to make. I guess I can't expect too much since I didn't explicitly say where the information was coming from that I would hope others would provide their rebuttal information instead of blasting away. Either way, yes, they can tell. As ugothakd mentioned, it's geek talk, but it's different information being passed through the network if you're tethering and using a PCs browser vs if you're just using your phone's browser.

I mean, you have to figure Sprint prolly knows what OS I'm using through their network, as well as what browser. If I'm using Google Chrome vs. xScope or Miren, I would think (see what I did there?) that would send different information, no?

As he also stated, they simply don't care unless there's reason to start flagging your account, like using too much data, specifically on VZWs network (roaming).
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
Hmm, maybe Verizon did find a way to detect it... here's a quote...

http://www.iphonehacks.com/2011/05/how-does-att-detect-unofficial-iphone-tethering.html
[Epic 4G General] abhaxus:
So basically VZW is doing a redirect just like a business with free wifi asking you to agree to their respective Ts & Cs.

This part is really interesting. I remember on windows mobile that the hack simply disabled a connection to sprint letting it know when you tethered. I assumed the android hack was similar. Does the Sprint Hotspot hack change how the data is routed or is sprint going to eventually catch on?

Edit: also, my opinion is that anything that makes it harder for nubs and doesn't affect me is totally ok. I've had complete idiots come into the store with easy tether on their phones. These same idiots are probably on bittorrent using their phone. I use the Hotspot sparingly, and wouldn't mind paying a small fee per day if it were easier to do that. However, me calling customer care to enable and disable the SOC every few days is just going to cost Sprint money in labor. So I rationalize the hack that way. :)
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I just hope I don't go past my limit on Hotspot. I have been paying for it for a year. I get a device that allows up to 8 devices to tether and they cap it. 5gigs right?

OK here's my question... First some background info. I am successfully using a straight talk sim card in my captivate. It is rooted which I did myself. My only issue is that the person in talking to says I sound like I'm talking over static. It's not so bad that people hang up on me but I know it is annoying to them. I Was wanting to know could the sim card have anything to do with call quality? Or maybe the fact that it's rooted? I had a hd2 at one time that I flashed different radios on for better call quality / battery life. Is this possible with a captivate? Another thing is this.. The person I'm talking to sounds crystal clear to me! I don't think it is a reception issue because I can have full bars and 3g logo and people are still saying I sound like there's static in the background.

Keep in mind that clock-for-clock, the Snapdragon in the T989 is MUCH slower than the Exynos.

General consensus seems to be that a 1.5 GHz Snappy is approximately the same as a 1.2 GHz Exynos performance-wise.

That's a 20% overclock from stock for them, while anything Exynos-based has had 33% overclock for ages. So we have a higher percentage overclock on a processor that provides about the same performance despite the lower clock rate.
