[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vebulous:
Okay, that explains it all. First thing's first:

I re-decompiled (re-de. I think it's funny) the framework-res.apk to snoop around. Our ROM has that mod baked in, since all of the modifications were already in effect. The changes to framework-res.apk, the removal of TetheringProvision.apk as well as the changes to /system/csc/customer.xml and /system/csc/feature.xml. So, according to the thread (Here), your wi-fi tethering should be fine as is.

Since that's cleared up, I think I know what your problem is.

T-Mobile, like many others, sniffs our packets when we use their ISP services. In the process, they found a way to monetize on our tendencies to tether, but they got lazy (maybe we're just lucky enough). They use a string your browser sends off called a User Agent.

If you go here: http://www.auditmypc.com/digital-footprint.asp, you'll see all the info your browser shares with strangers (your digital footprint). In that form of text, there's a string called Browser:. This is your User Agent. I happen to be using Chrome on win7, so my User Agent is

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.110 Safari/537.36

But, on my phone, it's a bit different (still using chrome):

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux;Android 4.1.2;SGH-T889 Build/JZO54K) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.90 Mobile Safari/537.36

See the difference? When T-Mobile flags that (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) or whatever, it knows you're using your phone to tether a desktop (or laptop), and cha-ching, the money bells ring.

Solution? Depending on the browser you use, I'm sure there's an add-on or extension or whatever they call them nowadays (I remember the Firefox 2 era when they were called extensions)

For Firefox, there's User Agent Switcher

For Chrome there's (also) User-Agent Switcher for Chrome

For Opera, there's User Agent Changer

And pardon me for not looking for other browsers any further, but if you're not using Chrome or FF.... nevermind (a different battle for a different day, I guess :p )

Use one of these tools and "spoof" your user agent to make it resemble an Android or Apple device and to make the browser broadcast a different UserAgent thus ultimately tricking Tmobile into letting you tether gratis.

Note: Doing this, also broadcasts the spoofed User Agent to websites. So, you'll keep getting redirected to the mobile site of whatever website you're viewing. This happens because site servers also use this trick to feed you optimized content.

(I just realized I take my sweet time to write up long and extensive posts in threads. Silly me)

On a side note, when I had my Nokia N900, I changed my useragent string to (and I quote) "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Maemo FTW) No more info for you, sorry"

Or he can simply tunnel his laptop into a vpn / ssh server. I not only tunnel my tethered data, but all the local data as well. T-Mobile's TOS states they can inspect into packet level. Personally I disagree since I use my phone to connect to govt email / RDP. Not that I work in a place where we work on top secret stuff or anything, but, its still private and confidential data. RSA encrypted tunnels work nicely to keep them from looking at ANYTHING I do.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Septembersrain:
Have you tried going to into Settings > Sound > Volume > Then turn the bottom one all the way to the left? That stopped all system sounds for me.

I also didn't like the keyboard vibrations. So under Vibration Intensity I put Haptic Feedback all the way to the left as well.

Are you running a theme? The bt tethering framework-res.apk is based off of the stock Jedi Master 14 one. I'm not exactly sure why it wouldn't work. Pretty sure there's bad magic smoke in your phone (that's an old joke).

But joking aside, and if you have access to some sort of root explorer, try [MANUAL MODE ACTIVATE]

1. Download the framework-res-new.apk from here (MD5: 10d587e89896057158f9d9383d4a7dd6)

2. Copy and paste the downloaded framework-res-new.apk into your /system/framework,

3. Make a copy of your current framework-res.apk (and name it framework-res-old.apk).

4. Finally, rename framework-res-new.apk to framework-res.apk

(essentially overwriting the one in place and replacing it with the modded one).

Hopefully this works. Also, see if permissions are correct (-rw- r-- r-- or 644)

Side note, does anyone have any idea how to make an xposed module (or better yet, point me to a "xposed modules for dummies" guide)

That's an [better] alternative. In fact, how and where do you find a reliable vpn to do that? I'm intrigued by this too (or I'll just be a good boy and google it :silly: )

if you want to get wifi tether up do yourself a favor and get foxfi. i have simple plan unlimited 4g '+ 500mb tethering and couldnt be happier. ever since lte hit my area. i canceled my internet service and now just tether a solid 10mb down 5 up lte signal. i tether bout 30gbs a month no problem with foxfi. t mobile only marks those 30 gbs a month as 3mbs out of 500mbs??? idk if those 500mbs free tether are what make it possible but foxfi has a trial version check it if it works id go with that's and save the head ache of trying to rig treve mod

You have a tethering package which is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. I know that some of the T Mobile Galaxy s4 roms have mobile hotspot working natively. I'm trying to find one that works natively for the Galaxy Note 2 or will work with wifi tether (TreVe). It boils down to the ROM, not the app.

Best kernel with this rom ever!!!!!

Well my battery is finally down to 5% so i guess it's time for a recharge. Here's my final battery usage since full. No matter what version of this rom i use in the future i dont think i will ever use any version of this kernel than this one. Like i mentioned i had this phone since day 1 of release and no matter what version of this rom i use with whatever version of the saber kernel i use i have never even got anywhere near this kind of length to my battery EVER!!,lol. Big thanks to our dev ptmr3 again though. I think before flashing v30 of the saber kernel with any version of the jedi rom the best i would get is 5hrs screen time tops & maybe say, like 1 day 6hrs. I've only been running this version of the kernel for what i think is 3 days now. 1st battery use it was gone in a day, and now 2 days of use after just a 2nd charge. Im pretty excited here,lol. Oh.. and i guess even though people could use extended batteries to fake battery usage to show larger screen time, i guess i'll attach a screen time pic again for anyone that don't believe it,lol. I thought i did the 1st time but i had posted it on my phone app and didnt know i had to click on both pics for them to post. I also thought it posted cause it showed to pics but i just noticed that on my phones xda app it shows the pic i post twice right away but when i log back in it only shows one pic without the duplicate. I still dont understand though as much as i use my internet why it's only at 2% or sometimes 5% at the most. Btw this is also with every single home screen filled with widgets, facebook,twitter,messages,calendar,etc... all set to refresh every 30mns, along with a home screen that has a picture frame thats constantly changing every 5 seconds. Well this is the last im posting about the battery cause i dont think i'll ever get better usage than this on my phone,lol. Just a little excited & had to post the final outcome. :victory:
