did u talk with a regular csr or cancellation? what plan are you on anyway?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
regular customer service and I have the 500 min plan and 5gb prior to adding it. Had no issues at all adding it. Just asked and got it.

I use wifi hotspot all of the time. I have never had to pay for it.. or is this something else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
The last part being $30 is what shows now after the switch. So they may have switch you guys right away without explaining since you called for that feature and seemed like you knew about it. But it is $30
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MMakoto:
that's what i was told on the few times i've called csr, so the others that got the feature added-i'd suggest checking your current plan and features.

Are you rooted?if so then its free.

From a galaxy better than yours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
To clarify this thread T-Mobile is offering for a limited time 30 dollar 5gb plans with tethering included as well as 10gb plans with tethering included but can't remember if the 10gb was 50 or 60. You can't add tethering to your plan you currently have you have to change to this promotional plan so anybody with a 20 dollar plan your wasting your time if you think that you can get free tethering added to your current plan. Also the feature includes there premium album service too that you usually pay extra for at no charge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
And also yes you can still tether for "free" if rooted by freezing tethering manager but it counts towards your data limit but with this it does not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
Still worth it to get the plan the more people figure out how to tether without paying for it then T-Mobile will find different ways to block it. Before you know it they will pull what at&t does and forces it on your plan if they find out your tethering.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] minotauri:
i had been tethering since the G1 without any extra charges. But even with my SGS2 I was still able to tether free with tethering manager installed and I recently switched to the 2gb cap value plan. I have since removed tethering manager but yea it worked for me with or w/o it.

that said, ive been capped so im screwed until the 8th. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
Doing it through the promotion will also take away from you data from the month. I have been using it for a few days and it's chipping away at my data. It would be awesome if it wasn't though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elitox87:
damn where can i get $20 for 5Gb? im currently paying $20 for 2GB... ^.o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zero86ea:
Its called the 5gb android preffered plan...call csr and tell them about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
They dont have that anymore. Its an old plan.. Sucks, on my family plan.. My brother and my girl have $20 for 5gb but i have the $30 one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pregistry:
The feature is available but you have a better chance of just going to the store for it and having it swapped there. Plus if you are rooted and I hope you are just freeze/delete Tethering Manager with Titanium Backup and use the voicestream apn for data and you wont be throttled :)

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

In addition to my above post...APN is internet2.voicestream.com that you add :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] duglas:
I called and said I wanted the 5gb with free tether for $30 a month. They said the promotion was if you upgrade your internet, so I would have to go to 10gb.. I said OK, I would like to downgrade to the 2gb plan for $20. She did and then I upgrade to the 5gb with tethering for $30... All in the same call.

I am rooted and deleted the manager but now I can do it legally for the same price..

T-MOBILE can tell when you tether and use internet explorer and if you do it enough you will get a text message about it.. I got 2 since I got my S2 and removed the manager but I would not of done it if it was not free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jiggidigi:
seeing as i work for tmo, i may be able to shed some light...

tethering/hotspot is a feature that tmo requires you to pay for at $14.99/month. if you have an updated GBA SIM card, you wont be able to use the hotspot feature on your phone without the added feature. some people with older SIM cards can use the feature without paying, but if tmo catches on, they will disable it, and then you have no choice.

As far as the current promo with free hotspot- it's just a different data feature code that needs to be added to you account. it works with the 5 and 10gb data plans only, so $25, $30, $55 or $60/month depending on the rate plan you're on ($25 and $55 being 5 and 10gb data on the newer value plans). Anyone can change their existing data plan, it's as simple as a couple of clicks with the mouse on your account. So if you call customer care and they say no, or they're confused, hang up, call again and talk with another rep.

You can still however, root your phone and your good to go, but as someone did say, that route does use your high speed data. Using hotspot with new feature codes that tmo can put on your account for you will not count towards your high speed usage.

hope this helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
I was using this feature and it does take away from your data for the month. Ut chips away at it just like when you use your phone to go on the web or download content. Caps will be hit much faster this way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Its not suppose to? Maybe because tethering manager is frozen or wait till next billing??? Would tethering manager have to be unfrozen for this to work perfectly? Since we all froze that app when we got this phone to make hotspot work..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Loyalty can still add it ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SpydaPig:
Can someone confirm that hotspot doesn't use up data. Was thinking about switching over to this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
It does use up data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
Even though I don't use it I got it just cause it was free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blazin6969:
Yea you might want to check with them again, I was told when I got my sg2 that my line as well as my other line that has a mytouch4g would be able to do UMA calling over wifi and it not effect the minutes....Well here I am this month with a 423$$$ bill but called the loyalty department got it all fixed and they put me on the actually plan where it doesnt count towards my minutes......

Moraly of the story check again with TMO they say stuff over the phone but don't actually mean it...Best people to talk to is the loyalty dept...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SpydaPig:
I decided to add this to my line. I was on the preferred android data 5gigs for $20. For an extra 5 bucks a month for hotspot is a great deal. But as I was testing tethering I noticed that my data consumption was not being used. I tethered for over an hour and my data stayed the same. So getting this was totally worth it. Now I can tether all day for free :D not sure why its using up data for you, should give customer service a call.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zero86ea:
Same happened with me in the beginning...but now it shows up :( is it updating on ur tmo account?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 83fb:
The Tmobile app that shows your data usage is not always current you might have to wait for a little bit to get updated,I hope you didn't go download crazy and used all your data...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jtroye32:
Tethering uses your data no matter what. IMO it's highway robbery to charge you to tether on a capped plan.. So I will delete the tethering manager and tether for what already should be free. A truly unlimited plan would justify the tether cost.

Also, according to the APN trick thread, the APN trick no longer works to prevent throttling... anyone confirm it still works?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zero86ea:
Yeah it doesnt work. So i might as well cancel since im paying 25 bucks for it. For 5gb and hotspot, i was paying 20 bucks for 5gb (android preffered plan)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SpydaPig:
I guess I spoke to soon, the first day of tethering my data usage never went up but the next day I checked my data usage and it went up to almost a gig WTF lol..I went crazy streaming music and videos, downloaded a ton of stuff thinking my data wasn't going to go up but I guess its not free at all. I'm really disappointed, should have stayed on the preffered data plan for $20 for 5 gigs :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] StickyK3ys:
I'm really glad everyone got that sorted out. I almost got roped into it by a guy at the TMO store.

Now, the 5gb Android Preferred is a dead plan? Bummer, that would be nice. I'm paying for 2gb at 4g for $10/month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zero86ea:
Yeah. Ima call tomorrow and get my android preffered plan back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spodie:
I get data ...hotspots...theather...all for free...I used 23gb Last month.....I only pay for unlimited everything..and it comes with a 2gb data cap....but if u look around u'll find the hack I did!!!!...pm me if u need it....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qdochemistry:
I was really confused when I started reading this tread at first. I barely use up to 1gb of that 5gb on the android preferred plan and times to times I connect my tablet thru hotspots when I'm on the road. I jz got this phone for for a couple days but hotspot works fine on both my sensation and hd2. So I jz tested it earlier with this phone and it doesn't work. Guess I gotta root it and freeze that tethering app. Anyone know if we can jz delete instead of freezing it? And also can you still get the official ics update if ur rooted?

Edit: nvm I believe if you delete a stock app you won't be able to update OTA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qdochemistry:
Im still paying $10 for 5gb .. if you stayed with them long enough customer loyalty can switch you to that plan I believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
No offense but how would anyone know if ics well work or not since none of us have it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jtroye32:
How long have you been with them? Are you grandfathered or did you have them switch you to it? I doubt they have it available to add even for long time customers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zander21510:
I was grandfathered with a $10 unlimited dumbphone plan for the longest time...up until I got a Nexus S and the internet2.voicestream.com didn't let it work like it had with my N1, so I had to upgrade to the $20 2gb plan which is what I use now...still think its BS that I'm rolling along at dial-up speed until the 7th, I figured it would at least be 2g speed...unlimited my ass...

I've tethered with my phones since my Nokia E63 days...technically I wasn't allowed to but with an unlocked phone (rooted in Android's case) i've never had a problem...

Comes in handy when the crappy college wifi is acting up...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qdochemistry:
I'm actually not grandfathered but I had them switch me. I've been with tmo for almost 9yrs now. I saw the thread in the sensation forum so I called in to customer loyalty and the guy switched all lines for me to the android preferred plan .. I believe around August or September ($20/5gb). Plus I got a $10 off promotion last yr which cuts it down to $10/5gb. If you are interested in the android preferred plan I guess jz give them a call and the worse thing that could happen is they will say no (call back and try someone else?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jtroye32:
I'm on the preferred $20/5GB plan too. What promotion got you an extra 10 off? Is it permanent? Is the promotion still available?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qdochemistry:
It was the fathers day promotion last year and so I doubt that its still available now. it was supposedly for 12mths but when they switched my data to the preferred data plan they messed up the promotion. Though, later they gave me the credit for 24mths. I guess I'm just lucky for a short period of time whereas the other guy got grandfathered for 10 bucks.

[Droid X Accessories] icephreaq:
In case anyone is interested. I have a MilestoneX (DroidX variant) with an Otterbox case on it. I really wanted a dock for my truck but obviously the Motorola one doesn't work with an Otterbox without modification. In searching for the perfect mount I came across the almost perfect solution at http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com The mounts run right around $25 but of course they don't trigger the Car Dock app like the Motorola one. I did some searching on the web to find out what tells the phone that it's on a multimedia/car dock and turns out it's a magnet. After playing with the magnets from a restaurant name tag I discovered that one polarity activates the multimedia dock and the other activates the car dock :-) A little super glue and some drying time later and I have a car dock that mimics the Moto dock with Otterbox intact and it was a good bit cheaper too!
[Droid X Accessories] scottyd035ntknow:
Yeah those guys do make the best docks besides the OEM stuff, still sucks that you have to plug in a cord every time you dock it though and a second 3.5mm jack for audio out unless using bluetooth... I just used a rocketfish case and a little time with a dremel to make the Moto dock work with a case and it is by far the slickest setup I've ever had with a car accessory. I do wish I had known about these guys when I was using my Epic 4G though, I had a Seidio ActiveX case on that and my god I HATE the clamp style universal mounts. I'm sorry but those things are trash and look like crap too.

I just wish more manufacturers (looking straight at you HTC), would realize that the majority of people out there (or at least people I know) use cases and don't like the fact that they can't use the good docks with their case. I mean seriously, deductibles are often $80+ up to $99 for some people even if you do have phone insurance. Not having a case=1 "oh chit" and there goes $100 down the drain and no phone for 2 days while they ship you a new one. Every time I see someone with a naked phone, especially an iCrap, I just shake my head.

First of all, i'm not a dev...so, do not ask to much. I'm just a newbie that read and learn too much :P

This is a tutorial to make a script the easy way! As i google a lot, i find most dev are telling u a big lie! And u dont know it, most of popular words from them is "u have to use notepad++" or something advance like it to edit and make a script.

THE SECRET NOW REVEALED!

Well, lets make it simple...what u need is;

1.Root phone.

2.Root explorer or any file manager with root access.

3.A brain that can think :)

Our test subject is the Battery Tweak, copy script below;

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "500" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_ centisecs

echo "1000" > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_ centisecs

-Open root explorer, go to your sdcard.

-Tab menu> more> new file.

-Write a name like 25BatteryTweak.

-Save!

-Now, tab and hold on the file then tab Open in text editor.

-Tab and hold to paste the script.

-Save!

There u have it, a script made by u :)

All u have to do now is copy it to system/init.d folder then tab on mount/rw.

Tab and hold the file, tab permission and set permission to rwxr-xr-x like picture below then reboot!

View attachment 883611

All done in the phone, NO pc required!

My collections of SCRIPT'S

Default I/O Scheduler

BFQ

CFQ

DEADLINE

NOOP

VR

SIO

etc:

TOUCH KEY LIGHT OFF

INTERNET SPEED TWEAK

BATTERY TWEAK

DEADLINE IO SCHEDULER TWEAK

KERNEL TWEAK

Why i make a sapareted script? For me, bloat script with too much lines wont work :P dont get it? Figure out yourself :D

( if u download the script via PC and it became notepad file with .txt extention, dont panic dude :D just put it in your sd then rename the script by remove the ".txt" )

------------------------------

How to check if the script is execute or not?

For example, to check the battery tweak...before u apply the script type this on terminal emulator;

su

cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_ centisecs

cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_ centisecs

U will get...

su

cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_ centisecs

1000

cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_ centisecs

2000

After apply the tweak u will get to see the change in the default value...

su

cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_ centisecs

500

cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_ centisecs

1000
