Basically ya, that's in my experience. I still tether my computer just by changing the user agent.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
Front what I've read through most threads is if you are tethering to pcs or laptops and excessively use your mobile data you will get a red flag. Anything else you will be fine. I can understand why tmobile tries to get those people using 10-20gbs of data a month.

Chrome Extension called 'Chrome UA Spoofer'...anyone try this yet?

Safari does not get blocked. I read somewhere because it doesn't force https. I never was redirected or texted on my Mac only when I used ie on my PC. Then I just used safari.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bupahs:
Yep, I'm actually saving 5 bucks by switching to unlimited and adding tethering, so I'm cool with it. If they eventually flag me and I cant tether anymore no big loss.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
That's a nifty little back door lol. Cause they always claim you can't add the feature ^-^
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crx4xharder:
yea

I'm at 40gb since 9/05. I intentionally tethered multiple seasons on netflix to my ps3. Just to push the limits. I was about to switch to sprint anyway simply because of the unlimited data when I heard about tmos "unlimited nationwide 4g". Too bad its actually limited. What bothers me the most is how publicly tmo will say they are happy to satisfy the "data hungry" users but even with their abundance of spectrum, they don't allow their users full capability. My contract is up in July and my wife and I will be leaving T-Mobile after 5+ years of devoted loyalty. Due in large part to the fact that communicating with someone in a language they do not speak, often results in mistakes and incorrect charges. Let's face it, some places in the states, sprint has risen from the ashes and has reliable decent prices for a fraction of other service providers. Hello sprint... Adios tmo ;)

Try out a pay-as-you-go on Sprint BEFORE you bail...you may be quite surprised. FWIW, I wait until the evening (Pacific) to call CSR's, and I always get Texans! They don't speak English, really, either! :P
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ky0nkyon:
+1 on the try it out. the 3g is slower than edge and if you aren't getting lte in the first rollout, you'll most likely be stuck with 3g only for almost a year. i have sprint right now and an desperate to get out.

My life for Aiur
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dragoth12:
How is the unlimited 4g "actually limited?" because they don't allow tethering? Well I guess if you would rather switch to sprint and pay an extra $50.00 per month (compared to classic plan, $90.00 if on value) just for tethering, you go right ahead. Seems silly to me though.

I don't know if this helps but I tried tethering to my Nexus 7 with my G2 while using an ftp app and it didn't work. So i put the ftp client into Active mode instead of passive mode then it worked. It could be my network or maybe T-Mobile? I tried Google movie player and transformers worked fine, netflix worked fine too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] billard412:
Fu*k that. Sprints shiity enuf as it is don't encourage him. :laugh:Lmao. Sprint is no fun if you're a data hog tho. Leave it to Tmo to play the "truly unlimited" card after I lock in to sprint for 2 yrs. :rolleyes:

There is a lot of chatter in here but not in useful form. It would help if you specified the ROM, kernel, and Radion you are on.

I was last able to tether on ICS with H2 Radio. I had flashed a number of leaked radio's, but only H2 worked.

ON the leaked JB ROM's, when I tried just turninjg on Hotspot in settings, and a note coame up saying to go contracxt for tethering. When i declined, it turned tethering off. So fooling with APN's, etc. whoudl not have helped.

The third party apps also dinf not work, as I assume their developers have not caught up with the leaked ROMs and Radios (not surprising, as the Leaks are coming out almost daily).

SO please - for those of you posting successes - PLEASE post ROM, Modem, Radio and kernel if not stock.

It did not work for me when I had the leaked jelly bean ota. I went back to stock ICS and works great now...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
Thanks - that is exactly what I encountered. I thought an earlier poster may (here or on other tethering threads) have posted it working on CM10, but not sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] agtitan:
All I care about is having it tethered to my nexus7...so far its working great on ICS using WiFi tether for root. I hope when jellybean comes out, it still works somehow...otherwise I might have to stay on ICS..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
It appears more than just a software issue, they are also detecting traffic and blocking even if you have the tether working. So use a tunnel like vpn and a web proxy. Even changing ua will only work so far as they can detect flash and other traffic that isn't a phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
No its only HTTP. A phone can do anything data wise now a days. Flash is supported on android devices, so i highly doubt they will block flash. Plus thats beyond invasion of privacy to see that the data being sent is actually flash data. UA is the only way to detect it without totally crossing the privacy line.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gaww:
I had gone the VPN route and was still blocked on the phone as I tried to just turn Hotspot on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LRT:
Was it with the stock hotspot app?

What vpn service did you use?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] slowestcivic:
I have been tethering strictly to my nexus 7 with the built in on paranoid android 4.1.1

UVLI7

Nothing else. I'm on the new unlimited plan. Now I'm wondering if I need to try to hide stuff.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
No i meant that there are flash equivalent of ua and versions above 11.1 can't be your phone. That would be a quick way to find tethers. But for now they is enough lie lying fruit of people not going there browser traffic.
