i like this guide better then the other one, this one gets straight to point with no foreplay.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] xda23:
So is this app confirmed working on the tmobile note 4 running Lollipop 5.01 t.w.? Thanks In advance!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tongueman87:
I'm on firekat as well an nothing seems to fix my tethering. Pisses me off cause I have to have tethering being that no one provides Internet out here right now as far as a isp goes....fml
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
Did you add a new apn for tethering? IPv4 etc etc?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] juan2three123:
Are you using wifi tether router or fox fi I'm trying to get my ps4 to connect online too
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tongueman87:
WiFi tether router, that's what I'm using it for is my ps4.

Yes I added new apn tried everything possible but it still was going up and bam no more tether for me lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] juan2three123:
I would use tether router all the time but it still doesn't work I even tried foxfi rn & that was a fail too I've tried almost everything

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

Wifi tether router is working for me now I've been downloading a map pack rn for about 10 mins & no hotspot data has been used

I just put "default,dun" in apn type & it worked perfectly
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tlipur:
What are you guys doing to get wifi tether and vpn to work on the same phone running at the same time. I can connect but no packets transmit.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tongueman87:
I did the default,dun as well but didn't work for me
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ALIENdna:
T-Mobile is blocking this app or bypassing it.....siiiiiiigh

I am in the same boat. I noticed that my hotspot was being used with WiFi Tether Router. I emailed the developer, who, by the way was a total ass. Fromt he reviews on google play, people say he has been super helpful and fixes their issues. For me, he asked if I had the settings set properly, which I did, then he says, sorry, you have to use a VPN or chromes unlimited hotspot. WTF? I spent money on the dang app, I would think he would try and be more helpful. I know user agents work....but you cannot open certain sites like netflix and it conflicts when connecting to other networks.

I wish there was another way. DO ROM's work better? Because I will use a rom if I have too. Does anyone out there know a work around? I have the APN settings correct, I have the APN default, but I live literally in the mountains and cannot even get DISHnet out here....so this is needed, and to pay EXTRA for more gigs? That is absurd. So sick of this unlimited **** not really truly being unlimited. Just for work, I used 55gigs, that was for WORK. not including youtube or netflix or downloading stuff.......so this 5g **** is a JOKE!

I need to get back to being fully functional.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] xda23:
Can anyone confirm this wifi mod working to stream netflix using a chrome cast or a roku box? Thanks In advance!!! ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ALIENdna:
It doesn't work. I have tried it. Nothing I have tried in any thread I have found works other than Chrome Unlimited Hotspot extension or some VPN's, and I haven't gotten the vpn's to work either. Either on the phone or pc. I am actually working on that right now, but TM hotspot is still ticking up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nemofbaby2010:
I use aosp default tethering and a VPN on my pc private inter aces VPN to be exact I just add dun to apn type this month I've use 300 gigs
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ALIENdna:
How do you get bit torrents to work? None of the bit torrents on any of my computers work through the VPN. VPN would be great to use if I could use it 100%. And regardless of the ROM, the vpn is what makes it work. I am using HMA vpn right now.......it works....my hotspot has not ticked up and I did over 15gigs of testing. HOWEVER, I cannot download torrents. No answers on sites, nothing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] princewilson0410:
How I got my phone setup is I made an second apn with the dun in it, then I used xposed module, X Tether, to use my native hotspot. Also I (on the safe side) use Build Prop Editor and added "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true." And on my computer, I added Hotshield VPN Elite and now I'm using my unlimited data without using my actually hotspot data.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ALIENdna:
You do not need to use a ROM or any special APN setups if your PC is running a VPN. The VPN masks everything. My issue is getting torrents to work with the VPN.

However, I have never heard of adding the net.tethering.noprovision=true. What exactly does that do? I just want to find a work around that doesn't include a VPN....that means all devices have to have a VPN or user agent....I just wish the wifi tether app works......
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] princewilson0410:
Right now I'm using Bitcomet for my torrent and using the VPN on my computer with no problems. For the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true, it's just to let you use ur native hotspot without the provider recognizing that you are using your native hotspot for your regular unlimited data instead of your hotspot data.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ALIENdna:
Wouldn't net.tethering.noprovisioning=true be the solution overall? Where do you add this, because if this masks from the provider, we do not need a VPN, correct? Torrents work sporadically on the vpn, at least for me they do, on all my pc's. Sometimes, blazing...other times, they cannot connect to seeders, and I know there are many seeders.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] princewilson0410:
I just put it at the end and as for it being the overall solution, it won't be. I tried it just by itself and it didn't work out and the same with X Tether. But for some reason when I put both of them together, it work to a certain extent.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ALIENdna:
The VPN works me, but I just noticed that when I do get torrent DL to work, it shows up in my hotspot quota. So the torrent is somehow not being diverted through the VPN.......I think. I am not sure. But I know the torrents are not being shielded by the VPN. Everything else seems to be, Youtube, amazon prime video, HD video......but not torrent downloads....... It is very frustrating.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lamuertex:
Here is how I tether.

I have firekat v11x installed with built in tethering mod running the default apn. I use the built in tethering app. I have PIA vpn service.

Run hotspot using your network ssid and password.

Connect to hotspot.

Connect to vpn.

Now I'm free to use my computer without anybody knowing.

If I don't use the vpn I get the tmobile up sell page because I've already used my 5 gigs.

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

Why don't you just torrent on the phone? Be sure to connect to a vpn.

I have been tethering for over a week and I had only used 1 mbp on hotspot and it shows as I use it on my phone. I'm using T-mobile galaxy s4 4.4.4 stock rom. With the wifi tether router app, and the dun at the apn type.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RussianBear:
Not a Samsung user (LG G3), but a T-Mo customer. Ever since updating to 5.0.1, tethering (usb and wireless) is impossible to conceal so far. the tether.dun.required method is not working, as the database seems to be locked ([http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/lollipop-tethering-t3071188).

I have tried both wireless and usb tethering thru a vpn on a pc and it was still counting (I did add the build.prop line for no provision). Haven't tried this app yet, but more curious about usb tethering, as I have a capable router I can use instead. Any luck with that on your Samsung devices? Appreciate it.

That's just an automated script that you run with smanager, as the dun flag gets overwritten after each reboot. you add tether provision line to buil.prop.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Sudbury78:
Guys, maybe you can help. I just found this thread.

I have been using the app for 2 weeks now without a problem. HOWEVER, one big problem. It will NOT work when using my surface pro 3. The guy at Best Buy thought it would be 8.1 pro. what happens is when i connect and try opening a web page, the T mobile smartphone plans splash page pops up, on all browsers. Yet, it works without a problem on my other tablets. I need this surface to work when i'm at open houses. SO, at BB, i tried it with a display 8.1 NON pro version and it worked fine. The kicker? NO PROBLEMS while my monthly 5GB allotment is being used. It's only being an issue with trying to illegally tether. I'm totally out of answers. Anyone have a recommendation? Thanks!!

I think the delay with this new Lollipop update they have been changing there ways in order to block us more.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sino8r:
Exactly... Works fine with user agent switcher on computer browser. Been using this method before tether hacks and after they stopped working. Most of the stuff is server side on tmobile now. Changing a few lines on build.prop or csc might work for a while but the only surefire is switching user agent. Good luck all!

Well, I finally found a way to make the app in the OP work. I'm not sure yet that it's pulling from my tethering data. It's seems kinda slow going through a VPN but here are the settings that I used.

Encryption wpa2-psk

"HostApd Patch" <- CHECKED

"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED

"No Disable WiFi" <- CHECKED (ONLY if you can't see the WiFi Network)

I've been using the tether for the past hour and it's pulling from phone data and not tether data. I've used roughly about 3 gigs already.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] yaboylos176:
Yeah, I've been trying WiFi tether router also still testing it to see if T-Mobile counts it as hotspot tethering I've been trying all this time to find a work around for unrestricted tethering.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
How do you check how many hotspot data you have used?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] xda23:
With the tmobile account app from the Google play store.It will what you have used so far then as you use your hotspot just compare to see if it goes up from there. :cool:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DaMagicTicket:
had anyone tried tether HBO Go is seems to use up hotspot data even when netflix doesnt
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I did some test. I have 5GB hotspot allowed on my plan. My phone is rooted and using a cook rom.

If my other Android devices get on my phone hotspot, the 5GB is never used.

However, I just did it on my Microsoft laptop and now my 5GB is used from my phone.

I think it is using the agent string. The best way is to use a VPN app on your phone. It will slow the speed down a little bit, depend on location. I have a VPN account that allow 5 device to get connected. Have anyone try this VPN thing?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] oldfield16:
No matter what I do I can't get it to work on Lollipop.. between that and all the GPS issues I'm having I'm probably gonna go back to kitkat.

Start your hotspot app first and wait till connected. Then start your vpn app, also make sure your apn settings have APN Type set to ipv4.

You may still accumulate some data while using this but not a lot. I also noticed that Chrome uses data unless you change it to android mode.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] socalborn:
Nothing Works

I have tried literally EVERYTHING! Changed build.props, APN, SQLite fix, etc.. I am using the WIFI Tether Router but it doesn't do anything different than the stock one does. If you use a spoofer you should be able to just use the stock tether app no problem. As soon as I turn off the spoofer with WIFI Tether Router then I get the upsell page. I have been emailing the developer to see if I can get back to using tether without the upsell page at all and once again using it with my Xbox One. My guess is that it's not going to work, as I've also tried just about every configuration. My guess is it will be a couple of months before it's back. I have even tried sharing a wired network with my laptop and my Xbox but nothing. I guarantee everyone that thinks they're actually successful, isn't checking their data usage and they're using their tethering data. Looks like I'll be saving my real tethering for Xbox and my spoofer for everything else.

I can say that the above method is indeed NOT working, I have had WiFi Tether Router running for a week now with no issues, Galaxy Note 4 on Lollipop. However today when I tried to connect via WiFi Tether Router, I got the T-Mobile Hotspot page telling me I needed to add HotSpot to my account.

Was working perfectly fine for about a week, today, T-Mobile carrier page. I emailed the author but haven't gotten a response yet. Anyone else having any issues?

**UPDATE**

Author responded, however I was told that I needed to use a VPN service, purchased a reliable VPN service from privateinternetaccess.com and still no go, just getting the carrier page still. Told the author about this and no response.

***UPDATE***

Author said to use Hotspot Shield or SpeedVPN, both of which I have tried and still receive the carrier page on T-Mobile. Waiting for another response, will try to keep my post updated.
