No, I was just excited because it worked for me, but the other day I had about 150 MBs slipped through so I was kind of irritated about that. I was just wondering if using T-mobile's "My Account" was part of the problem? I know on Mega's rom PopRocks people are able to tether just using the APN setup and using the stock hotspot and he suggests disabling My Account. I'm going to find out if anyone else who were having problems are using My Account. I'm still pretty new to flashing, tethering, etc., so most of the time I don't know what I'm talking about... :o

Can anyone confirm that this works on psn ps4? I have a s6 I have used my 5gb of tethering and everything is successful when trying to log on my ps4 but it wont log into psn?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] socalborn:
This method no longer works. It WILL use any free or included Tethering data first. The developer told me I must use a VPN and in that case I could use any tethering program.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] djlucklu:
What settings are being used because options are greyed out.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Compusmurf:
LOL, must be nice. LTE in my area gets me 20Mbps max. (which was still way faster than "don't SPRINT")
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] iunlock:
Make sure your WiFi Channel is at "1".

Also check your interface and have that at "wlan0."

Method should be at "HostApd."

Try that.

Unlimited Tethering

If you guys are still having a problem getting the Wifi Tether Router to work, some of the devs have "Unlimited Tethering" baked into there roms and one of the best things is that they use the stock HotSpot client instead of needing to use third party app.

I still may use the Wifi Tether Router for more advance control over my hotspot.

The of choice of rom I chose was Dynamic Kat by [MENTION=3105374]bri315317[/MENTION] which can be found in the Dev section. This rom for example lets me get the same unlimited tethering past my 5GB HotSpot limit from tmobile and the connection is full speed depending on your connection in your area.

Thank again to [MENTION=3105374]bri315317[/MENTION] for the great rom and unlimited stock tethering mod!

Catch me on Twitter [MENTION=2017072]FiberOptics[/MENTION]RLD or Randall D on Google+

I been using a similar mod on my LG G3 that I gave to my wife. The G3 stock hotspot tethering was modded by [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] and now a similar mod has been made for the Galaxy Note 4!

Bye Bye Comcast!!!!!

Yes i would like a zip file as well so I wont have to change from my currently deodexed stock rom if this is possible. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hypersonicx:
You would have to ask the devs about that one. Unlimited tethering is so convenient I just backed up all my apps using titanium backup and backed up all my text messages. Installed rom and restored everything.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] grv00711:
so the vpn will hide the data use with the app?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] socalborn:
It doesn't really hide it but it helps block the type of data so tmobile thinks it's data from your phone and not tethering. You will also need to use a spoofer extension for your browser that you can download for free. I went on vacation for the last week but before that I tried EVEYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. Every method or mod on this forum with no success. As a last ditch effort I paid the 2.50 for the app and that still didn't work. The app is taking advantage of people and lying about what it can do. The developer knows the hack that was being used has been busted by tmobile so he's been plastering on XDA to buy his app for 2.50 to get it back but it doesn't work. It doesn't say anywhere in the description of the app you might or will be required to use a VPN. IMO that is misleading and he's ripping tons of people off. Just my opinion.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] grv00711:
thanks .. i have it working on nexus 6 .chroma rom..hells core kernel .using express vpn .. not really sure it is hiding data use .. as of yet.....>>>> .. but completely unable to get the wifi app to work on htc m9 ..venom rom 2.1.1... venom has built in wifi tether that probably has to be disabled.. anyway have 2 mobile lines with the 5 gig wifitether ..have a hotspot device dropped that down from 9 gigs inorder to keep the tmobile bill under 200 a month.. trying to see what really works for the data tether scenario.. appreciate any feedback and discoveries...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Longshark:
It's hit or miss these days. I t-mo is better at detecting this route of tethering. I've had to move to usb tethering for a reliable tether. On trial of the clockworkmod tether plus vpn and getting amazing speeds so far. May pay if it holds up and if this does not get sorted out.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] GDofWR420:
It quit working on kit kat so I updated to dynamic pop rom and all is good. Wi-Fi tether app works fine again, with the exception of my phone getting hot.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] loonie01:
The limited connection was a windows 10 issue. Microsoft fixed it in the next update.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tj gamino:
This method previously worked with no issues. Now when I attempt to enable the app it turns off my phone completely. Required to force the phone into download mode and restart.

Is anybody else experiencing this problem? Is there a fix?.

I tried running stock hotspot and got a text that I used all my hotspot alloted data. And they will be slowing me down... bummer

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I remember reading somewhere that if you use VPN on your laptop, T-mobile hotspot will get confused and charge you 80% less on the data. How do you measure it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
Umm take note of your data usage through the Tether app on your phone and compare it to what T-Mobile is registering as your usage.

Basically a comparison of server side data and client side data.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
My VPN software can see how many GB I have used since I log in. When does T-mobile refresh their server so I can see it on Tmo end?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
I see the usage maybe minutes after. Some times instantly on the app

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
What ROM you are using would be helpful.

I would suggest if you can, create a new APN with all the details of the default one but make it all ipv4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tinashe.gilbert:
I am using Chroma. I tried to create a new APN and wouldnt work. I switched to Pure Nexus, same result. Checked with a friend on t-mobile and he also had the same problem (not sure which rom he uses). Thanks.

Found a fix for my NOTE 4 5.0.1

After looking through a few forums i put two methods together and BAM

SPEC: 910T on 5.0.1 (CF AUTO ROOTED)

WIFI TETHER ROUTER SETTINGS:

1. wifi channel: 1

2. interface: wlan0

3. method: 3 HostApd

4. no firmware reload: UNCHECKED

5. drivers: nl80211

6. wifi mode: G

7. prevents standby: CHECKED

8. MTU adjust: UNCHECKED

9. HostApd Patch: CHECKED

Finally leave everything else below UNCHECKED ***EXCEPT**

10. No Disable WiFi: CHECKED

REMEMBER TO HAVE YOUR APN SETTINGS CORRECT: Settings > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

Click on your APN you setup and make sure your APN type is: default,mms,supl,hipri,fota

This fixed my issue with crappy WiFi speeds

Truthfully you may want want to get some help from the tmobile m9 forums. I don't think there is a show stopper as as far as tethering on the n4 though. Just may need to use foxfi or wtr

I have not experience a un-rooted phone in a long time.

For un-rooted phone, if you hotspot on another Android device, does the allotment goes up?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
Yes because the built in tether app registers on the device side indicating hotspot data in use regardless of the device attached.

I am on COG2 stock rom, Chain Fire rooted . I cannot get this to tether for the life of me. I never had this issue with 4.4.4.

I used the settings posted and quoted above, and cannot get my computer or any devices to connect to the internet. Sometimes it shows connected but I get no data, other times it does not broadcast a signal at all.

Anyone have any idea's?

Anyone know of any COG2 Roms that have unlimited tether?

Anyone know of a flash able file that WORKS with COG2?

Someone in the LG G3 subforum just posted that he got throttled and he has only hit 138gb... This throttling of >97% is a little hard especially if you're in a low usage area and the average user becomes the big dog
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] The Apostle:
That's me...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
138GB on his phone or using tether? If it's tether then it should've been throttled at 7GB.

Tethered. And it was probably through some third party app that goes around the detection.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
It's been a year since I had the need to tether and then it was to add something to a tablet. If I use 100 MB,. that was a lot. I can't imagine what I'd have to do to use 2TB but you can't really blame the user if T-Mobile let it slide this long. I'm glad it's over... If my speeds in NYC increase the more the better.

So, since he didn't say what "technology" they "now" have, I will take a wild guess and assume T-Mo will blindly shoot those messages out to folks who "exhibit" signs of tethering.

Cosign. I tether all the time because I spend upwards of a hundred nights a year in a hotel for business so damn right I'm going to tether. But please don't get me mistaken, I can still crank down 60 gb in a month with my phone alone. Heck given the speeds in most areas to get 2tb in a cycle would require a lot of non peek hour usage. Do you folks really care who downloads what in the wee hours of the night?

They've been cracking down on tethering for awhile now, until they get something better than client side provisioning and user agent sniffers then guess what, the tethering will continue.

2TB is a lot and let's be honest, that's probably less than . 2% of the users. Most I've ever used is 180gb in a month. Honestly, for what we pay month in and month out year after year we should be able to use the data. I'd also assume that the average user. And by that I mean NOT us power users that are on XDA. 99% of the universe barely uses any data. Most people I know and talk to in real life use less than 2 or 3gb a month.

Anyone Tried a user client switcher?

Found these methods, but haven't tried yet

Method 1.

Download and install sqlite editor, this is a paid app from the play store.

Open sqlite editor

Click on files, then

Data

Data

Com.android.providers.settings

Databases

Setting.dB

Global

Then press + at the top of the screen

Then in name you need to enter "tether_dun_required" with the underscores but without the ".

And enter " 0" in the value field, that's a zero not an o.

Press save.

done

Method 2.

It requires either FoxFi paid version or PDANet however.

1) Create new APN with a name of your choosing

APN: fast.t-mobile.com

MMSC: http://mms.msg-eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN Type: default,supl,mms,dun

APN ProtocolL: IPv4

2) Make sure either FoxFi/PDANet is installed on both phone and computer and activate USB tethering. Make sure "Hide Tethering Usage" is activated on computer.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] itzmebobby:
