Change the name of your wifi hotspot and it should fix it. Worked for me when I got that message.
[Nexus S General] generalagony:
damn a day late. Called Tmobile and after talking with customer loyalty just ended up paying for it. They did however give it to me for $10 instead of $15 and didn't make me extend my contract. I will probably end up getting a clear card for internet now and calling them back to cancel the hotspot feature. Good to know about your fix though.
[Nexus S General] bigwhiteegg:
happened to me too, running stock rom, i'll try the name change method later
[Nexus S General] torticho:
I did this:

1) settings

2) Wireless & Networks

3)Portable Wi-fi hotspot settings

4) Where is says Router name (SSID): I change the original name.

I did not work.

Is that what you meant when you say Change the name of your wifi h.s.? If not I could use a little help. Thanks
[Nexus S General] Vinsane:
Well its now happened to me.

I'm running Mark V ICS ROM with CM9 and used Barnacle... was tethering my laptop then all the sudden I got the txt from T-Mo about adding or be blocked... so I scrambled and try to find device manager to freeze it...buy can't find it anywhere. Now I got a message saying my tethering is blocked.

Does anyone know what system app or process is reporting? Like I said...I froze device manager in other phones and it worked...just can't find it on this one :(
[Nexus S General] koyanishi:
changing your settings won't help to work around throttling.

apparently you need to stop using chrome as your browser.

I read somewhere also, that tmobile can't tell you are tethering if you are on a mac.

EDIT

{Seems that it is false that tmobile can tell if you are on a mac, but it does appear to be true that tmobile can tell when you tether if you use the wrong browser in the device you are tethering to. So it doesn't matter if you change your settings or you get a different tethering app - just use a safe browser}

Still no work around? Its not about the throttling... its about using the hotspots feature and the data we already pay for and something built in ad a feature of the phone.
[Nexus S General] barrielui:
it seems that T-Mobile has blocked the use of wifi hotspot

I just got the tethering block after I installed Google Chrome on my laptop which was weird so I went back to using internet explorer and I'm not blocked. I gave the Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.0.4.
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
I'm using AOKP ROM Build 37. I just tethered Wifi Hotspot to my A100 tablet, it's accessing the internet just fine using Boat Browser. Other apps connecting to the internet just fine too. Wonder if only the stock "T-Mobile" ROMs that have the tethering blocked.

I personally think it's unethical for carriers/providers to charge extra for mobile hotspot. After all I'm paying the 2GB or 3GB or 5GB so I should be able to use it.. Hope for a class action suit against the carriers for such unethical practice to gouch more money from the consumers..

Edited: I use ROM Toolbox and change the DNS on the tablet to Google DNS for it to work. The default DNS did not work.

Use Safari in Mac

I am using Nexis One for more than two years and yesterday I go the t-mobile hotspot message. I initially thought maybe I am over 1GB and they are doing this. After reading this thread, I changed the SSID and tried with Chrome on MAC and I still had the error. I tried with Safari on MAC and I can use the hotspot. I am writing this using Nexus one hotspot with Safari on Mac.
[Nexus S General] jdmst77:
I was pretty pissed when I noticed that they did this yesterday with my G2. C'mon T-Mobile, this is an old phone that isn't going to get the bells and whistles of ICS. At least you can let us have this! I'm running stock but am now considering moving to CM7. Does anyone know if WiFi hotspot works, with chrome, using CM7 on t-mobile?

I'm also wondering if it has anything to do with the browser agent. In remember being able to change a browser agent with desktop chrome and Firefox through an addon. Does anyone know how to do that with tablet chrome? I only know how to switch between mobile and desktop but that doesn't appear to make a difference
[Nexus S General] Vinsane:
Well..I got hit about a week ago and was blocked..funny thing...I flashed a new ROM and when I tried it again..I used internet explorer...was blocked....then I tried FireFox and boom. I'm back on :)

Running a week now on new ROM and using hotspots tethering for my laptop and my wife's iphone. Kids iPod and daughters iphone and still running strong

Odd isn't it?
[Nexus S General] jdmst77:
Every browser except chrome are working for me on stock. Have you been able to run ICS on something connected to your t-mobile phone, via WiFi hotspot, and use chrome to browse the web? I'm trying to see if a custom ROM restores this capability
[Nexus S General] Vinsane:
I run ICS..but I don't use Chrome :p

On a side note..I was also running another ICS custom ROM with different kernel when I initially got blocked.
[Nexus S General] jdmst77:
Sounds like it is the browser agent, unless they can verify by the host file or another method... :confused:

What browser do you use? I used to be all about Dolphin (mini & HD) but ever since I got hooked on chrome, I can't put it down which is why I want to find a way around this
[Nexus S General] Vinsane:
I didn't even know Dolphin was available for the PC.

I use dolphin HD on my phone and Firefox on my comp.

What I did change and I can't verify if this is true or not...but I removed the T-Mobile My Account crap-app.

So I don't know of that app was "narc'ing" on mr or not :p
[Nexus S General] wingman1487:
This seems to have done it for me on my Sensation. I guess we'll see how long it works.
[Nexus S General] navjot94:
I've heard that you can just change the user agent of your browser to an Android Tablet or something and it'll work
[Nexus S General] TrIn@dOr:
Well, I use Straightalk (SIM card that runs through T-Mobile) and I don't have that issue... :)
[Nexus S General] wrick01:
are the I9020A's using straightalk on T-mo or ATT ? ( sorry noob question, I'm going on vacation down south and plan on buying a straightalk sim with the unlimited plan and then tether my ass off )
[Nexus S General] pogipants:
I assume the 'A' on the end means ATT, as the Tmobile one ends with a 'T'.

To the thread as a whole, the Tmobile $30 a month no contract plan comes with wifi hotspot. You can use the built in Android feature for that.
[Nexus S General] GrendelJapan:
This wasn't working the last time I checked on my laptop, but it did work on my N7 a few moments ago. I'm on a limited data plan, so can't go crazy, but it is nice to have in a pinch.
[Nexus S General] Ron Overdrive:
Honestly if they're checking the user agent why not just download an User Agent spoofer extension for Firefox (I'm sure they have something like this for chrome) and just spoof the user agent for your favorite mobile browser?
[Nexus S General] Ron_bstl:
Kinda solving it

After a month or so of having this problem I have been doin some trial and error. Its the company and not the phone, it seems to work on any browser as long as the web address begin with the "https//"....now if your not uding a computer it would work flawlessly on phones, ipads, tablets.ect....it also will work updating software and it works with the cloud features on computers and the automatic updates on windows....I think its because there all using secure connections....proxy sites such as btunnel or working on blocked browsers but is very poor atdisplaying some pages correctly (a few don't even show at times)....tested on 3 phones and same results on all....will post solution when/if I find one....in the mean time I suggest proxy sites for blocked browsers on computers, all other devices seem to respond ok.
[Nexus S General] jdmst77:
not sure how but about a month after first getting this issue, it went away. I continued to use my wifi hotspot (without a tether add-on) but since we got our SGSIIIs and had our plan switched from Classic Voice to Android Preferred Web (which includes tethering and wifi hotspot), I've never had a problem again.

Are you still blocked form using the wifi hotspot?
[Nexus S General] Ron_bstl:
Thats probably why it went away in your case....but I got t-mobiles true 4G unlimited data plan and the message still pops up....called t-mobile customer care and their response was that the hotspot feature is not available for that data plan right now....the only time it dont is if I use a secure proxy site, first 3 days of my billing period , and this new program I start usin the other day....its free and it shows no problems at all....other than that your screwed....if anynobody needs the name of the program and instructions on how to install it I would be glad to help.
[Nexus S General] MotorcycleKopp:
This program you speak of downloads onto your laptop and masks whatever browser you use to look like an android device, I'm assuming?

I may need this program as well. I just upgraded to the true unlimited plan from the 5 GB high speed. Before I never had a problem unless I was using about a Gig of data in a day -then the message would pop up. I've never ran into the problem with my WiFi Xoom connected -only with laptops.

I plan to take full advantage of this new unlimited high speed data plan & stay off WiFi completely (except to control my GTV and blu-ray player), so I might run into this same issue as well.
[Nexus S General] Ron_bstl:
Yes it do....sorry for the late reply....its called expatshield....for some reason I cant post links or I dont know how to....I found it by furiously searching google....it works for me
[Nexus S General] MotorcycleKopp:
This program appears to be just like any other standard VPN -at least from what I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong).

I guess it does kinda make sense -since it would NOT allow any entity (T-Mobile, among others) to see the actual specific data transmitted from the requesting device. This way, T-Mobile would not be able to know if you were requesting a mobile version of a website or always a standard version of a website.

This would explain why I only see warning signs on my laptop but not on my Xoom when I connect both to my WiFi hotshot.

I suppose that if you use a VPN for ALL data on your Nexus S, then it would be an even better mask when using the WiFi hotshot function -since all that T-Mobile would ever see is unreadable coded data being transmitted to and from the device.
[Nexus S General] Ron_bstl:
Yea it is....its random data being sent....so unless t-mobile finds a way to block data it cant code then this is a good alternative....the down side is that it wont access sites that let you download torrents, amazon and other shopping sites....a better vpn program is Ultrasurf
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] TPizzle:
Hi guys, does anyone here know where to buy the US adapter part of the charger? I am speaking specifically of the piece that goes into the charger. The two pronged plug insert itself. Here is a link of an item on ebay that includes the adapter with the charger.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-USB-Wall...ccessories&hash=item3a742ee563#ht_3518wt_1018

So ideally I'm looking to spend less than $9 (otherwise I can just buy above item and keep the charger as a spare). I don't want to use an US adapter on top of the Hong Kong one on my tab because it becomes way to bulky and would not fit the outlet near my bed. I'd need to use this outlet as its most ideal.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ramhardy:
how is it compared to our SG2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] motorjonny:
I own both

good:

-ics is cool

-chrome beta is great

-there are a lot of subtle extras that htc builds in that make the galaxy seem so bare bones, lock screen quick launch icons are great, music player is better (more features)

-i like the screen size a lot, not as wide as galaxy

- the camera has zero shutter lag which is awesome

-as much as you think you will miss the menu button, i got used to not having it rather quickly

-htc version of swype works way better than swype on the galaxy... i was getting so tired of fixing wrong words on the galaxy!

bad:

-battery life doesnt seem as good.. some days i get 16 hours, usually closer to 12... i would get 16-20 on the galaxy

-wifi calling has a crackling sound all the time.. wifi calling issue, not speaker. not regular calling

-the side power button on the galaxy is just easier to click

-the way htc set up memory managment is different.. once in a while it will say 'loading' when you go back to the home screen... not a major issue though

conclusion:

i now prefer it to the galaxy... i just wish the battery life was as good and the wifi calling would stop crackling... hopefully an update will fix both of these

I would really wait to compare the galaxy with ics vs the One S.. doesnt feel like a major upgrade.. but I really appreciate all of the subtle differences I mentioned. Its like they put way more thought and design into how you use the phone.. there are just so many more features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
not doubting your opinion on battery life, but you're the first person to say that the battery life is worse in comparison... well from what i read around here.. haven't been to the one s thread because well obviously more bias over there and have no reason to be over there lol.

But could it be that your battery may be a bad battery compared to the others?

My friend works for them and he too said that one s's(uh) battery life is better.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kissmegodlike:
hi,guys

i try to achieve it by using fiinix's dllimport dll,but now i have no idea?whocan give me some advices?

thank you!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
This is a mildly scary idea, but an interesting potential hack.

On desktop Windows, you'd either use the registry, the Startup folder of the Start menu, or create an NT Service that ran automatically.

The registry key is

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

or

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

but WP7 only has those registry paths up through CurrentVersion. You could try creating the Run key, and adding entries under it, though.

WP7 doesn't have a "Startup" sub-folder of the Start menu the way that Windows for the PC does, but it does have a Startup folder. The path is \Windows\Startup. You'd probably want to create a shortcut, most likely to "app://<APP_GUID_HERE>/_default" because that's how app paths are described in the registry, although I can't promise that would work.

While WP7 does have Services, I don't think they're how you'd want to do this. For one thing, they may need to be written in native code, which would make it very tricky to run them on a stock ROM.

In any case, any of these changes are going to require at least interop-unlock (root-unlock would make it easier) or full-unlock. Using DllImport doesn't actually give you any extra permissions; it just makes it eaier to call native functions. They still run with your limited permissions (such as no ability to edit the Registry or the \Windows folder), though.

Hey i had the same problem on Cleanrom de 1.3 with the 3.14.605 leak flashed over. It seems like its some sort of communication error and/or constant reconnects that causes the router to lock down. I upgraded to cr 1.4 and put in a better router i had laying around and its a little better but i still lose connection periodically and it seems like it happens most when I'm at the furthest point in my house from the router (my room). My router doesn't lock down anymore but I'm pretty sure it's cause it's a much better router than before. I hope we can track down the cause of this issue. I think it has to do with the 3.14.605 leak.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
it sounds like the router is giving out identical IP address for different devices. my suggestion to, and this has happened to me in the past, but reset the router and give your laptop and other devices in the house a specific address and leave your phone as a static address.
[HTC Rezound] aznjosh:
i think it's due to the rapid reconnects by the phone. my issue seems to be resolved by flashing back to the 3.13 kernel so you should try that if you're on 3.14. If not it's something else
