50 gigs mainly from tethering and some pandora.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lm that guy:
I used up about 18gigs last cycle. No tethering
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] m3latino:
How are you getting past the 2.5 gb of hotspot ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gaygeek89:
Last billing cycle, my second one, about 19 GBs. barely even tried... maybe I should? I AM within sight of the tower :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rambo8987:
Still 2 weeks in this month lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dandan112988:
My hot spot data keeps creeping up even though I have never turned did on. Anyone else experiencing this ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ThattOneKiddMichael:
Rooted users can bypass network limits
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] d12unk13astard:
Damnnn!!!! that's some usage and a half haha

My usage is nowhere near that but that's cuz I use with at home and at work, my signal is much better everywhere I go compared to sprints for sure tho. I remember trying to watch YouTube on my note2 with sprints garbage network and it stuttering and buffering every 3 seconds smh. On average tho I use around 2-4gb 4g lte data and about 25gb on wifi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Admiral2145:
What do we have to do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] babymatteo:
Easiest way would be to flash a custom ROM that supports it. Like Jedi or Wicked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Admiral2145:
Did that with Jedi... Still got a notification i used my 2.5 gigs ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hypersonicx:
Wow, that is nice man.

I Just got my Note 3 yesterday, but last month, when I was on my Galaxy S3 I did 72GB for the whole month.

Now on note 3 for 2 days now my current usage is at 19GB.

Note you can bypass the 2.5 GB hot spot limit with out Root.

Just create the needed APN and start you tether. Things like torrents and such work as usual after 2.5GB but for websites on the browser you have to change your UA string.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Admiral2145:
What is the ua string.. That's what i need...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hypersonicx:
I use Google chrome as my browser on my desktop. On the app store for the chrome browser there is a app you can install to change the UA string for chrome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Manofthehr:

I was on a cruise for 5 days and I put the phone on airplane mode. Cell service on the boat costs a ton.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JUSMEJOSE:
Here is mine ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chong67:
What do you download?

I avg 12GB a month. I record Rush and Hannity show off my local radio station using TuneIn Radio. Then I play it off BT to my car when I drive 1 hr each way to/from work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JUSMEJOSE:
Lol ... i watch hardcore netflix ... torrents ... thats nothing 2 months ago i used almost 95gb without throttle
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chong67:
You do torrent on phone? WOW Its almost the end of the month and I have open up my upload speed on torrent on my cable modem. I am trying to use the 300GB allowed.

What is the maximum anyone can download on Tmo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JUSMEJOSE:
Yeah I do torrent on my phone since I paused my TimeWarner cable for couple of months .... I use my phone to tethered My xbox, ps3, chromecast, Netflix, Torrent HD movies, ROMs etc ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ezsoulja:
242 gb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JUSMEJOSE:
Well well ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] christisnfermin:
Can you do torrent on your phone or your using your computer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
There are many torrent apps for Android. Some free some paid. I like ttorrent the free version let's you d/l up to 250 kbs the paid version is unlimited but costs 5 dollars I think. uTorrent never worked for me. But if you type torrent into Google play store search you'll find a lot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PowerMan572:
How are people getting past the tether limit? I am rooted and I thought I had it working, but I'm getting the T-Mobile upsell page.

I edited the "settings.db" to change the "tether_dun_required" value to "0". I then changed the APN settings to IPv4. But I still get the upsell page.

Any tips would be appreciated!! I even tried Fabio's Wifi Tether Router 6.0 app and that didn't work either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] J.E.T.S:
User Agent. Basically trick Tmobile into thinking your using your mobile when tethered on other devices\pc. Was doing this using fiddler but obviously they fixed that -- blocked it. Started verifying the header so the UA string doesn't matter anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PowerMan572:
Works solid for me still :)

You have to add a new APN though and use the UA switcher. I'm posting this message using a UA :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jcannon318:
I'm using wifi tether router. $1.95 in play store and it is the only one I've found that works flawlessly, easily. Already tethered 32GB in about 2 days. Seriously debating canceling my home Internet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PowerMan572:
I'm using the stock hotpost. With that app, can you open up ports and stuff for uTorrent and other applications etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jcannon318:
As far as I know yes. I download tons of torrents and all different types of stuff. This app has been an absolute god send.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PowerMan572:
I can download torrents too on mine, but I'd like to know if ports can be open up. The problem is that when I download torrents via regular HotSpot, the torrents will never upload and be shared with the community (which is required since I belong to private torrent sites and sharing is required.) That's what's stopping me from cancelling my home Internet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jcannon318:
Oh I see what your asking. Hmmmm I'm not entirely sure. I don't see why not, but then again I don't want to give you misinformation. I'll try to dig up some answers, as I am curious myself!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] J.E.T.S:
Elaborate more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PowerMan572:
If you're just trying to use the UA with the default APN setting your phone comes with, it's not going to work.

You need to create a new APN setting. Just enter "fast.t-mobile.com" and leave everything else blank. Select that APN, then start using a UA and you're back in business.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] J.E.T.S:
Will try. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tony1208:
What's a ua?

Hey man. Cmon ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JUSMEJOSE:
Last month I used almost 200gb of data ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phatkid01:
Did they ever throttle your tethering?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
My first bill came in 10 days ago and I used 23gb most was the result of streaming Netflix, HBO GO and my slingbox. I can see some months getting up to 50gb during football season. Roughly 4gb to watch one 3 hour NFL game in HD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rambo8987:
Data so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BILBO78:
64 gb in the month
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] brsingr:
O_o...322 GB!!.....what do you do....stream HQ movies?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Some of you if not most will take this the wrong way and I sincerely hope that you do not. I just cannot help myself by saying and I apologize in advance. ABUSING the system. I guess this is the reason why most other providers ceased unlimited data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
Well at least Tmo only penalizes the people abusing instead of just taking unlimited data away. They said they don't care if people use it like that if they are using most of the data at like 3am but if during peak hours they may throttle ppl that abuse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Fairy e-muff. However, my original point or no point come to think about is that why should we abuse it? Lets not take this away and cripple our beloved provider.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
Why should a pay a premium for unlimited internet if I can't use an unlimited amount? :confused:

I use about 40 gigs a month. Easily. My friend averages 125 gigs a month. Been like that for a long time.

It's not abusing them system if they tell you use as much as you want Lmao.

Hacking the tethering to use unlimited is abusing the system because they specifically say "you can tether X amount every month" but I don't tether so that doesn't matter to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
You seem to miss my point. Its attitude like this about unlimited data that eventually creates limited data from our providers. Ive only been In the USA since 2007 and noticed most cell providers cease to offer unlimited data now. Wonder why ?

We as consumers seem to have a lot of expectations. Let's keep it real as Ali G would say.

Fairy Muff about the tethering comment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
But see, here's the thing. Unlimited is just about the only thing tmobile has going for it. If they changed that what would change my mind about buying my phones unlocked and using att which has faster downloads and better coverage overall.

If they didn't want people to use a lot they wouldn't have unlimited.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
Actually John Legere has stated that they will throttle you if you abuse the system. He said something to the effect that if you are in an area that has constant heavy network congestion that they will throttle or kick the worst abusers off of Tmo all together. What he said was that if you abuse during the peak hours (working and early evening hours) that they would throttle you but if you did it like 3am they don't care. Also, if there isn't any major congestion then they don't care how much you use. The point is, yes it's unlimited but they do have a point they call abusing the system.

That said, i would think very few people would fall under that potential category. Maybe the 300gb+ guy might be one of them but who knows. Just know they there could be an issue for the most heaviest of users.

The 300gb+ per month guy may be tether hacking and using it for his home internet... how else can you use that much (unless hes torrenting everything on his phone all day)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
AT&T has better coverage yes, but not faster downloads and it's not as consistent as Tmobile and we have proof of that. I will be more than wiling to provide the evidence too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rambo8987:
Nope mostly torrent downloads and xbox live

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

Point is a company advertise free unlimited 4g. The service is being paid for so however much or however little you consume data shouldn't be a topic at all. Most people nowadays have home wifi which cuts down alot of data being consumed on tmobile network, for god sakes were on xda so no need to be high and mighty, if that's the case you shouldn't root your phine, it's not how the carrier sells it. Point is things like this service tmobile is offering may go just like Cingular now at&t did back in the day when there wasn't lyrics nearly as much data available to use.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

We are on xda. I'm using a rom that allows tether bypass. I'm paying for unlimited data(how I use it is up to me). Carriers nor phone developers sell the phones rooted and debloated, over clocked etc.... so if anyone feels tmobile is being exploited, they're being hypocrites.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
Well, just stating from my experience. Especially lately tmobile speeds have been severely lacking. Basically since they started selling the iPhone my speeds have dropped by about 50% where I was getting 40+mbs I am now lucky to get 20mbs.

But even still att is way to expensive and too restricted. Especially with locked bootloaders.

I might root my phone and overclock, but I don't pay them for that service and I don't expect any support from Samsung at all. If I fry my processor I buy a new phone. Same thing I would do if I fried a pc. I think it's hypocritical to mod your phone and expect them to fix/replace it when it stops working.

I do however pay tmobile for unlimited data. So I do expect them to provide that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Right I was just meaning in general over nationwide on average. But obviously location affects everyone. Currently in my area it just gets better I'm in the DFW area and when I first joined them their LTE was okay not everywhere and speeds were really decent even on HSPA and H+. Then recently I'm getting double LTE speeds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Fairy enough, I personally do not think their unlimited plan is going to be sustainable in the long run. Once they or if T Mobile gets popular I envisage the same route taken by other providers - limiting data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kushXmaster:
I live in a smallish city. South of Sacramento CA so we usually aren't on the top of the list for tower upgrades. Hopefully soon they will upgrade and speeds will get better again. Right now my lte is basically what I would get on h+ 2 years ago.

They've done that at least once already. And they may do it again. But I'm sure the majority of subscribers don't even use close to 2 gigs a month. Most of the people I know use maybe 1 gig at most. The people on here posting large amounts of data are in a small group of subscribers most likely spread across the country. So I don't see it happening for a little while.

Not with them hyping "unlimited" as much as they are.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Purest:
Nope I've never been throttled. I have the free 2.5 gig plan added, so if I don't use User Agent switcher for browsing it will use that data. But for streaming netflix, gaming consoles, android boxes and torrents you will have no issues. Also anything using other ports besides 80 you'll be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aristo2jzgte:
Some of you guys speed are horrible. Here in southern california my average upload speed is 40 to 100+ mbps n upload speed at 20 to 50mbps.

Im on the unlimited 4glte plan. Im a very very very heavy data usage user. I average about 500+ to 1tb of data a month. I use this mainly for work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] boricua10:
I use about 40-60gb a month. Using youtube and watching shows online.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

Wow some of yall are just ridiculous. I hope they do throttle people that are clearly abusing their Unlimited data. I use around 50-75GB a month but 600GB-2TB that's just ridiculous and stupid. Haven't some of yall heard that just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. I can't see anyone legitimately using that much data on ur phone unless ur just doing it cause you can.

This is a very useful thread for tmobile :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DutchDogg54:
[MENTION=5856912]tercelman[/MENTION] - you've posted 17 times in the last 4 pages including 6 straight a few pages back. You're not officially breaking the rules yet but it's pretty disgraceful how much you're clogging up the thread with useless posts & gloating about activity that will almost certainly end up burning you and probably all t-mobile users.

It's mindsets & activity like yours that have made unlimited data a thing of the past in the US and throttling the new normal. I'd highly recommend you stop the silly, useless bandwidth usage downloading the same game over & over... That's borderline disgusting. Like a user said earlier - just because you can, doesn't mean you should... Kinda like posting so much in here... Just because you can (for now) doesn't mean you should.

Hope that makes sense to you - for now, please tone down the posting at very least, and hopefully, the useless data usage. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] VannMannE39:
I drive a truck for a living so my unlimited T-Mobile plan get used to download everything. I've downloaded games to my xbox, watched countless hours of movies and typical internet browsing. My highest to date was 110GB that month! Again, I got an xbox one and to save room in my Rig I just download them straight through my phones connection. :good:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bipoler:
If you are using more than on average 20 < on your device that's abuse, you probably don't work. How the heck do you use over a 125 gb on a mobile network. ....people like that irritate me, give someone an inch and they take a mile. Just nasty...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sevenslugs:
Unlimited - not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PowerMan572:
People like this irritate me, because they assume we're all abusing the network.

I'm fortunate enough where I get paid to to sit in a cube at night and I watch Netflix/Hulu/Plex all night long. I never torrent and I'm using my data legitimately. Average 100GB - 150GB a month.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jinda628:
10 GB monthly average. Highest I've seen on my billing is 16GB.

Question - I only have 3GB wifi hotspot on my plan but I tether a lot everyday but I dont get disconnected but I am sure I tether more than 3GB a month.

Does custom ROMs hide tethering usage from network and add it to the normal unlimited usage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] babyshanks:
i wonder what the range is that tmobile actually starts monitoring your usage. Went over 25 gb this month- mainly due to netflix and my flashaholic addiction leading to downloading all apps/games again. Not overly worried about 25, but just curious as to a number I should avoid hitting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] marnold425:
I hit 32 gigs last month
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ugabuga:
So noticed my speeds dramatically drop recently, logged into my account and see an alert saying I've gone over my high speed limit. Just hit 100gb an noticed a drop over a week ago so probably throttling around 75gb or so
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] c-pimp:
I was getting great speeds on tmobile tether. Now it seems broken. I can only connect to Google sites like Facebook and YouTube any Google search result clicked on results in page not loading. Also wifi tether router is working but my speeds never go over 1mb sec downloads now and usually much lower. Anyone have any ideas why? I've only used like 25gb one month and hardly any next two months
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] babyshanks:
Sounds like an issue with your apn. Might want to look into that. Mainly at the ipv part. I'm guessing it's set to only ipv6 (sites such youtube, Google, Facebook, yahoo) and not both ipv6/ipv4, the latter of which is used by the majority of sites on the Web. Might want to tweak that and see if things improve, gl.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] c-pimp:
Sorry forgot to mention I that was with ipv4 I tried several apn changes

So my Nexus 5 will be here in a few days! I just realized that this will be the first Android phone I have ever owned that was not made by HTC! I've owned an Android from ever since the very first HTC G1 was released. I must had owned at least 6-8 different Android phones throughout the years and every single one of them was manufactured by HTC, including of course the HTC One that I sold to buy the Nexus 5.

if speakers and screen quality are not a big deal, you're gonna love the phone, its simply amazing.

I placed my order for the Black 32GB model at 1:19am MDT on Nov 1st and it finally shipped out yesterday.
[Nexus 5 General] bluegizmo83:
Yeah I figured the speaker quality wouldn't hold a candle to the HTC One... As for the screen, I've seen mixed reviews. Alot of people say its sharp clear and bright, but a little bit washed out (which I can deal with).
[Nexus 5 General] finalrequiem:
You were one of the people I was keeping an eye on since I also ordered a black 32 GB device and I ordered right at 12 hours after you. I won't hold my breath but maybe it will be my turn soon...

Glad you're getting your phone, but please use an existing shipping/ordering thread for this type of discussion. This board is already cluttered enough.
