[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hypersonicx:
Now that we have root and customer recovery, has anyone been able to get free wifi tethering with the TMobile Galaxy Note 3?

I tried different settings with the wifi tether app on the play store but cant get it to start up without errors.

Anyone have any input?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LaloHigh:
You get 2.5 gigs free from tmo on the native hot spot. Have you tried that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hypersonicx:
Free WiFi Tethering

Yeah, I burned through that already. I had a iPhone 5S that I had free tethering mod on and currently at 52GB on data on TMobile and my 2.5GB is also already used up lol.

Now on Note 3, currently looking for a way to enable free wifi tethering since my Comcast connection is currently turned off.

I have the Wifi Thering app but dont know which settings work for the Note 3.

I may have to wait until the custom roms are cooked up with unlocked tethering baked in.

Try using a VPN? Worked for me on the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hypersonicx:
VPN slows the bandwidth down tremendously. I have LTE pulling in at 30Mbps using VPN will lower the speed down to less then 1Mbps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elesbb:
There is a guide that worked for the S4 about editing customer.xml under /system/csc prolly same way on the Note 3. I'll be extracting the system partition soon. if i have time i will make the mods for you and post it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hypersonicx:
Awe man that would be excellent! Looking forward to it. In the mean time im tethering using the user agent chager for my web browser on PC, but looking forward to a full tethering solution for my PS3 ect....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elesbb:
Oh this method still requires the UA switcher. Nothing will bypass that part since its done on T-Mobile's servers. I thought you were automatically getting redirected to T-Mobile upsell page even with the UA switcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hypersonicx:
Changing my UA works fine. I was thinking there was a hack or work around so that the HotSpot would work perfect on any device. PS3 and XBox ect...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaungregg:
I hear you man I use 10 gigs a day, just use UA switcher set to Safari on chrome and you can tether to your heart's desire. All websites look normal with that setting and Netflix won't give you the download app for mobile message lol. There hasn't been a wifi tether fix for quite some time regardless of the phone as far as I know, its a common request in most forums regardless of device or carrier. Anyway like I said I tether 10 gigs a day using T-Mobile hotspot with no throttling either but according to them they do throttle regular data unless your on the highest data/tether plan. So if you keep the lowest tether plan you can get unlimited tethering with UA switcher or hopefully with a workaround eventually but your data will be throttled at some point for all data unless you bump up your plan.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XooLoo:
I'm currently not on any tethering plans. I'm rooted but otherwise stock. When I turn tethering on and using a User Agent Spoofer on my PC try to access the web, I get the upsell page. Am I doing something wrong? Also there are several UA spoofers for Chrome. Can someone tell me which one they're using that actually works please? Perhaps you can reference the developer's name, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaungregg:
Sorry I assumed you had tethering since the Simple Choice plan comes with 500mb included in the 50 dollar plan. Then you could simply use UA Spoofer on Chrome, if your on some sort of prepaid thing without any tethering included then I have no clue except use Pda Net for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
why not just buy the easytether app?

That way it will use your data rather than hotspot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XooLoo:
I'm on a business plan with 100% unlimited everything (no data throttling, etc.) Am I supposed to be getting some free tethering with mine?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaungregg:
Here is the quote from T-Mobile site for business account:

"Besides unlimited talk, text, and web, your Simple Choice for Business plan includes up to 500 MB of high-speed data. But if you need more, you can add extra data to any line. All data plans are unlimited while on T-Mobile’s network." "Add 2 GB to your included 500 MB of high-speed data. Smartphone Mobile HotSpot included. Speeds slowed after 2.5 GB."

Call them up and have them activate it on your phone, I had to call for my kid's iPhone but mine was working out of the box.

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

When you spoof it uses your regular data, personally I have the paid App Klink Red Edition but it stopped working when I switched to T-Mobile. No need to pay a few dollars for an app when you can do it free but Pda-Net works great and it is cheap enough, still it uses spoofing as well just from in the app and not at the browser end, I'm pretty sure all the tethering apps make it look like your using data from your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wing_addict_usa:
Anyone get VPN working? Mine stops routing when I connect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mardukeme:
I start the Hotspot tethering app first and then start PIA VPN app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sess:
I set up tethering the other day. I dont burn through data like some of you, but im curious about the limit. Is that 2.5gig limit tied to the 2.5gig lte (then hspa drop) data plan limit? Or is it just a 2.5gigs of tethering regardless of your plan and then no more tethering for the month? Furthermore, when you exceed that amount, im taking it from these posts that the tethering app stops accepting connections and you're not just dropped to the hspa network? I dont think ill hit that limit, i only use tethering for remote access when im on call and out and about. But it would be good to know for sure.

This has been the "trick" every since S Voice has been introduced, so it's relevant to any Samsung phone that has S Voice. It's the first thing I did once I booted up my Note3 before anything else.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
I consider S-Voice Bloatware, and disabled it in Applications from day 1... ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Drizzy xS:
Do you have a list of other apps that you consider crapware that speed up the phone?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hagba:
This thread should not even exist with all the hype about thr Octa core and Snapdragon S800 the speed should not be at all an isue with or without Svoice activating or not.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MohJee:
You seem to have missed the point completely. The delay is intentional you see; the phone waits a second to see if you want to press the button a second time to activate S voice. With that option disabled, the phone does not wait for the second click. Where does the speed of the processor factor in the equation?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
I've been keeping a list of Samsung Bloatware (Because I got tired of not being able to find a decent one that also worked for non-rooted users and the novice users), but it's by far not complete (doesn't include US branding apps):

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Protophonix:
I'm picking up my N3 tomorrow, currently using S3 on omega rom.. I'm keen to try stock rom but i seriously hate all of the bloatware thats added with it which generally dramatically drains the battery life! With that list above. By 'removing' does that just mean disabling? I noticed when you disable certain bloatware, it turns itself back on when you reset the phone.

I will give stock rom a try for a few days. Should i run it through a full cycle first thing ? (charing it to 100%, draining it to 0% then charging back up again)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skeleton:
I have a SGN2, unrooted. It runs Android version is 4.1.2. I use a utility to toggle on/off the lock screen, "SwitchPro Widget". My lock mode is "Pattern Lock".

SwitchPro works perfectly in toggling many of the state variables. I notice a "bug", but I don't think it is attributed to SwitchPro - I think it might be of Android.

Situation where things work properly:

Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I close the listing, without opening any individual notification message, then the lock screen remains toggled off. Good, no change as expected.

Situation where things mysteriously change:

Assume that I have the lock screen toggled off (no security set). Occasionally I get a notification, for which I can slide open the Notification window for a listing of all current notification. If I select an individual notification message from the list, then the lock screen mysteriously toggles on, and demands me to enter my unlock pattern code, before viewing the individual notification. The is bad - what is causing the lock screen state to be toggle?

Has anyone else encountered this?

Any ideas on how this can be remedied?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Evie2883:
You could try simply turning off the security in the android settings, instead of trying to use a widget to do it.

Most apps that claim they can turn off your lock settings, usually can't. Android won't let them do it permanently. If you reboot, you will need to re-run the app, but before you can do that, you'll need to enter the code.

You can however, simply go into the android settings and turn it off manually. Then it will be permanent until you go back and turn it on again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MindArchr:
I have encountered this numerous times and it can be frustrating. If you are rooted, you can install Xposed Framework and install the Notification Direct Launcher module. This will prevent this from happening, works like a charm.

i hope i can explain myself good enough please let me know if you have any questions..

my android phone (galaxy s3 i9300) is connected to my router's wifi, just like anybody else if they have a router that supports wifi.. all other smartphones i have are connected to it.

now i have a computer but i can't run a cable to it from the router.

i just want to know if there's any way i share the wifi connection i'm connected to on my phone to the computer using USB cable

it's just like using regular tethering but instead of using the mobile's network to tether a wifi connection, i want to use the wifi connection to tether my pc?

i have a rooted device, all ready to go, is there an app or something i need to install on my pc..anything please help
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jc4gavejc:
Hi all,

Got my Nexus 4 back in November; this last week it fell out of my lap while I was on a bus, hit the floor and the screen shattered. I was hoping that it would behave similar to iPhone shatters I've seen on friends phones (where the digitizer wasn't adversely affected), but I wasn't so lucky.

I've been able to perform basic functions on the phone using adb input keyevents, and got a Webkey server running so I can control the phone remotely. I'm planning on buying a new phone in the coming months, but while I'm currently trying to save money I wanted to get the phone working as well as possible using voice automation. I've been reading that the combination of Open Mic+ and Tasker is pretty powerful, but I'm lost on where to start from a programmatic standpoint.

Also Open Mic+ hasn't been foolproof, is there any way to bind voice activation to a hardware button?

Anyone have any tips on complete voice automation without any touch input? I can read the screen so I don't need the phone to read its contents to me or anything, but I'd like to be able to have the same functionality that adb's shell gave me with keypresses. So I could say "scroll down", "left, left, left, enter" and it would tab to the left a few times then select the option I had chosen.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ukmdb:
Only had my Exec for 2 days and so far I have got to say I am not inpressed.

All applications open up so slowly I cant beleive that there is a 520mhz processor in this thing.

You open up an application say "media player" and when your finished you click OK in the corner, You think the program has closed but it hasn't It is still running in the background. Why don't apps close properly?

I have just installed a classic game 'PacMan' Now this is so small you would think the Exec would handle something like Pacman. NOPE. It is just too slow It takes 5 - 10 seconds just to eat one of the yellow dots.

My gripe with this is that it is just too Slow, Has anyone else experienced any problems with slowness.

I have 14 days in which to return it should I not be totally happy and I can honestly say I do not think I will need a week,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dianna_wills:
Did you try to go to:

Start> Settings> System > Memory > Running Programs

To kill the apps properly, press stop. Then, try to run the game again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ukmdb:
Yes that is how I know that programs are still running even when you think you have closed them. It annoys me that they do not close properly.

Start > Programs > Pocket Excel. Now there is no exit or close function you just have to click ok in top corner, Then you have to go to Start> Settings> System > Memory > Running Programs just to end the program.

You should not have to keep doing this and is only down to poor programming.

I have tried Pacman with nothing running at all and is still slow.

I click on Start and there is even a half seconf pause before the menu appears, navigation is just so sluggish.

If it is only me who thinks this then I possibly have a faulty exec.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dianna_wills:
Hm.. may I get the link to install pacman on my MDA Pro? If the pacman is still slow, I think it might have been due to the application itself..

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] no1:
This is by design - all pocket pc apps works this way. It's called smart minimize. When your device starts to run low on memory the apps you used longest ago will be fully closed automatically.

There's a number of different utilities out there that change the default behaviour of the "X" button to actually close rather than smart-minimize. Have a look here in the utilities section on FreewarePPC:

I was trying to point out that it may be nothing to do with the Exec performance, if the encoded file is encoded with pauses and lost frames.

However generally we all agree the Universal's performance is terribly poor, and there is another thread where you can see that ROMs are coming out to fix this.
