Has anybody been caught by tmobile for using a tethering hack recently? I remember them giving out warnings last year.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wesmagyar:
I'm assuming the settings are the same for the note 5?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] khulet12:
That's what I used.. Still no luck not showing. BTW I got my wifi tether for free. Thru apk free. Does it affect this? Should I purchased the one on play store?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aliabkad:
I say go purchase, it really worth it, is actually wifi tether router, purchase that really worth the money, I think is 2 dollar something. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dimm0k:
worth the money if it works... if not, I have to say support is pretty weak. I paid because it worked on my old device, but on my new device I'm still trying to get it working and the author basically regurgitates what's listed on the website in terms of what settings to use. Of course I've tried those and still no go... similar to what I had to do with my older device with support!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aliabkad:
I'm using it right now and not showing on my hotspot is showing on my unlimited data, it works for me ,
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] omnis:
K thanks :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] free4flight:
I have an APN set up for just tethering and it is set to IPv4

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

So you have tmobile unlimited data and 5 or 7gb hotspot plan that comes with it and it is not showing against your hotspot usage? If so, what are your settings, because I have tried everything possible and nothing stops the hotspot usage from showing up. It is why I use foxfi with usb...it doesn't show any hotspot usage... but you are tied to the usb cord.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aliabkad:
Change your Apn protocol to Ipv6
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] free4flight:
I've tried both, neither stopped reporting my hotspot usage... :( You are using wifi tether router? What are your settings?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aliabkad:
Just scroll up a little bit back I just post my setting
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] free4flight:
Yes, I saw those, it appears they came from his site that shows all the settings for various phones, so I assume your settings are the recommended settings, but for custom rom or general on the note 4? I have tried both. However, we have been told over and over again to use IPv4 in the APN so I have not tried it on just IPv6 however I have tried it on the setting that does include both. IPv4/IPv6
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aliabkad:
That is the setting I'm using on TEKHD Rom with Apn protocol ipv6 try it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] free4flight:
Well, I have to thank you because with the general Note 4 settings on his site, and changing the APN to just IPv6, it is finally working. Yahoooooo. Gonna try the custom rom settings next. Im happy now that I don't have to be tied to that usb cord. And using TekHD Rom too....Thank you...!!!:)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aliabkad:
This is for experimental use only. Enjoy!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] free4flight:
I tried custom rom settings and no go... so gonna stay with general note 4 settings, and Yes, I hear yuh, experimental use only ;)

Kinda funny .... this is from the play store and the author:

FOR T-MOBILE USERS AND NEXUS 5

Need to change your APN, simply navigate to Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. Select your T-Mobile APN, and scroll to APN protocol. Change this to IPv4, and then save your APN.

Lol... notice he is telling everyone to use IPv4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ubigred:
So this works for you? How much data do you use a month? You think I could use wifi tether router for Netflix or Kodi?

Sent from my SM-N910T
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aliabkad:
Go for it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] free4flight:
Yes, I do believe :) I am at about 104gb right now with about a week to go before the monthly reset, and that is just with normal usage, which does involve downloading movies. I have no internet at home so I rely on my phone for everything. I have unlimited data plan with tmobile and I use it. I think it is pretty normal these days to go over 100gb+ per month and they have not said anything to me whatsoever. I use quite a bit of data per month just downloading roms and kernel updates to keep my phone optimal.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] khulet12:
It works now. I finally can see the wifi tether. But one more question my download speed is only 7-10mbps for ps4 and laptop. But if I test it on my phone it showing 45-50mbps. Is there any settings to get my fully speed? I used the ipv6. Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] khulet12:
Thanks.. I'll try it now

That's my user agent. I paste that on the note pad I deleted all the user agents. Then put that. Then save it. There was an error message saying line error. The after I saved it I couldn't see the user agent option under Rules Tab
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] moxiot:
I haved had 0 problems tethering past the 5gb limit on Rapture 3.1. His latest rom, however, does not support unlimited tethering. It has been a livesaver as I have not found any kther roms that would allow me to do this
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
I'd add that you can also search for useragents on line. I usually go for one that is "Requesting Desktop Mode" so I can usually get desktop versions of webpages while still using a mobile useragent.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jedisurfer:
how do you check your tether usage. I can't find that when I login to my account via a browser. I can only see it via the silly tmobile app which I don't want on my phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] free4flight:
I use the app because for some unknown reason, it doesn't show under usage on the web...although it use to. You might call them and ask how they expect you to know?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
They will probably be like, use the app, since ya know if you didnt have a phone to use the app on then you probably wouldnt be worried about it in the first place.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tlipur:
Are they still slowing people's data down. I stopped using the app when they posted an article online stating they know whos abusing the tethering.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] R187J:
I can vouch for this

A member of my play got reduced to 2gb limited with no hotspot after he had 3 txts saying they knew that he was bypassing the limit, even though he was using all the filtering methods he could.

And he switched to MetroPCS who apparently do the same thing cuz they r on T-Mobiles network
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TewSlo:
That's half the truth, if you get that message texted to you, you simply restart the phone and use the apps provided in my in my previous posting to overcome the throttling.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TRS-80:
I have been going around and around with this issue, trying to solve it for weeks, I have done many things (see below) but this was the final piece of the puzzle. So, I just had to make a post to thank you!

I have been tethering on MetroPCS for as long as I can remember. At some point, we had to start changing our user agents... This worked for a long time, but now since T-Mobile took over, it seems like they have really been ratcheting up the cat and mouse game... So much for being the "un carrier!"

I had done everything, rooted, installed Cyanogenmod (well, in fairness, I would have done that anyway ;) ), edited tether_dun_required to 0, changed APN info, etc... I even signed up for paid VPN service with PIA. And they were still somehow able to detect I was tethering, and/or throttle the tethered device(s) down to dial-up speeds!

But now, with this one last change in settings, I am finally able to get the attached device(s) working with usable internet speeds! And I'm ecstatic! :)

I don't even have a Note 4, actually, I have a Galaxy s5. And I'm on Metro PCS technically, but as you know they are the same network. But somehow, some combination of the search terms I used (Metro PCS, T-Mobile, throttle, tether, VPN - I really don't remember now) - led me to this thread, and the final piece of info I needed to succeed.

And so again, I thank you. As long as us "little people" can continue to help one another out by sharing information, we can continue to beat the big guys. Or, at least get what we are paying for / what was advertised (unlimited 4g)!

Unfortunately, I have developed another issue now. Tethering is working, but now I cannot send MMS over ipv6. I've done a little reading, and so far haven't been able to find a solution (although I have found other people with the same problem). So I just thought I would mention that as well...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aliabkad:
Check your MMSC, make sure it correspond with Tmobile or metro pcs, you should be good to go , good luck.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TRS-80:
Yes I have tried MMSC for both Metro and T-Mobile, neither work. Even tried putting port 80 for T-Mobile (had read that somewhere) and that didn't work either. :/

I googled a little, it looks like I'm not the only one who has had problems trying to get MMS working over ipv6...

Brad are you tethering okay? I'm getting throttled again as of 4/26/2016..............
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] moxiot:
I am getting throttled again. Oh well... I was using Rapture (which had the tethering hack baked in)

Can anyone confirm if "WiFi Tether Router" will work on Android 5.1.1? Specifically, I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T) on Android 5.1.1 (N910TUVU2DOK2), and would need to know if "WiFi Tether Router" will work on my 5.1.1 phone?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rajivr74:
Hi everyone. I have the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910T) running Marshmallow (6.0.1) with the N910TUVS2EPG2 baseband. I'm rooted & want to tether unlimited. Has anyone found a way to do this with this setup? I would flash Rapture rom but the ...EPG2 baseband cannot be rolled back to match it. Does anyone have a workaround? I mostly use the hotspot to stream Netflix & other services to my Chromecast. I do not have wifi at home.

Thank you in advance.

What changed its now eating up my 5gig tethering when using the wifi tether app
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RussianBear:
Yup, same here. I'm using a vpn (in addition to build.prop and settings.db "hacks" ) as well, so not sure how they see it now. I'll change my TTL on the pc as next precaution.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] djlucklu:
FOLLOW OP PEOPLE SMH

**This will only work if you have an unlimited data plan!**

**MUST ALSO HAVE ROOT ACCESS**

MUST HAVE LATEST VERSION WHICH IS v4.0.6

Get an app on the Play Store called WiFi Tether Router:

http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter -

*****

Keep "Always scanning" checked. Don't do what the dialog says

Configure it and go down towards the bottom and hit "APN Settings". In there you will see your main APN that is used (fast.t-mobile.com).

You're going to have to make a brand new one with all of the details identical to the original, but where it says "APN Protocol", change that from ipv6 to ipv4. This step is essential to making the tethering data come off of your main data plan so you can truly use your unlimited data to your heart's content.

Whenever you make a new APN, the Protocols are usually already at IPV4. If they are already IPV4, you are good to go.

I'm able to get a connection to the wifi tether router and i can consistently p i n g google with a sub 80 ms response. However any website I try to open is extremely slow.

Also I am not able to get on LTE (Stuck on 4g) after switching the APN to ipv4, is this happening to anyone else?

Quick Edit: I've used Wifi Tether Router on my Galaxy S4 with no problems whatsoever (100gb monthly usage while on LTE).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] iunlock:
Interesting....let me check.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MachinePower:
I have followed steps exactly in OP and I cannot find the network. I will spell out exactly what I'm trying to make sure I'm not missing something simple. I'm running Firekat V2. I guess the other tether Mod isn't working on our rom yet but there was a person who confirmed this one was working in the same thread.

So Far.. I have named network, created new password, made new apn with exact same everything aside from IPv4 set as instructed.

I have tried with and without always allow scanning checked, wifi channel 1, interface wlan0, method 3 HostApd, driver nl80211, wifi mode G, prevents standby checked, I've tried with and without HostApd Patch checked, with and without No Disable wifi checked, Enable DMZ unchecked,

Please tell me if there's something simple I'm missing or any other ideas to get this working. I used wifi tether router on my Note 2 running Jedi rom and it worked perfectly. No luck on my n4 though so far.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MachinePower:
Thanks twe, are you running firekat? I have the exact same setup and it says it's working and tethering but I can't find the network? Fortunately for me Mega is about to drop v3 of firekat with baked in tethering so i should be good to go shortly but it is strange that i can't get it going.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] twe90kid:

i don't have this problem. works fine everytime.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] glensta:
I haven't really used this hack here. I've mainly used the WiFi Tether Router from the playstore and changed my apn to ipv4/ipv4 and that works pretty good most of the time. I find sometimes T-mobile catches tethering usage, other times they don't - no rhyme or reason to it.

For Laptop Tethering however, I've used pdanet and it works very well most of the time.

How are you streaming to your chromecast via tethering?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mbr007:
T-Mobile n7 ported not working
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RussianBear:
So, I was able to get tethering working again without being tracked by lowering the TTL on my windows machine (less than 128). However, they are still able to track it when I tether to my vpn-enabled router. If I disable vpn in router settings and enable it on my client pc instead, they aren't able to track it. Go figure. I might sign up for their unlimited tether option, since it will be showing less traffic than my regular connection and should be able to fly under the radar.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] moxiot:
clockwordmod tether is the only app that still works for me. wifi tether app is gone and so are the roms that used to have the tethering "hack" baked in. if you want unlimited tether, use clockworkmod everything else doesn't work

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MajicDroidPirate:
Lol Ive done it...simple...Chromcast searches for wifi...When tethering your phone is a router...Connect your laptop to the wifi of your tethered phone, go to the chromecast setup page and connect the chromecast to the same wifi network coming from your phone...that is it.

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

Yes...It will work....Ive used it on 5.1.1 and ive used even on 4.4 you just have to set it up correctly the instructions are in the options of the app and they change depending on your phone, ROM, and android version so read them carefully, Ive had to play around with the settings multiple times to get it to work but it will work eventually..Just make sure you change your apn from ipv6 to ipv4 and then follow the setup.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] grundlestain:
does this get 4g speed tethering? that tmo one plan is unlimited data, and tethering is slowed to 2g speed, so i am not worried about sneaking the data, i want full speed
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Teddybus:
Yes I get up to like 12m to 14m dl speed,but that's using LTE its not fast on 4G.

Just a FYI if you go over i think 28g they will slap you back down to earth lol....Its not that they Throttle you but what they do is lower your priority on what ever tower you are receiving your signal from to the very back of the line ,Now that's a if the tower is congested with a lot of traffic i live in the hicks out in the country so the towers i connect to are not congested i haven't noticed any slow speeds. besides the normal.

Does this app still work in 2019 with Pie and TMobile for unlimited uncapped data? ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] potna:
did you find your answer? i am new to tmobile, i had a sprint note 4 and sprint booted me so i bought a tmobile note 4 and rooted it just so could tether off of a tmo service plan. i have been using wifi tether for years on sprint with minimal troubles, its slow to turn on and off, crashes occasionally but it works well enough even for online gaming. as far as on my tmo note 4 on the tmo network... i can tell you that the only way i have found wifi tether will work unthrottled is too edit the ttl settings on a windows based computer (client) to get full speeds at the pc. i cant edit ttl settings on everything in the house such as xbox, ps4 and what not so this isnt going to work for me. i have read that you can edit the ttl on the fly (ttl editor on the play store) on the android device, but that requires a kernel that supports it. i am willing to flash every rom until i find a rom that allows this ttl editing. it is too bad with android being so fragmented that it seems most people move on from great devices such as the note 4 for the next shiny thing, other wise we wouldnt have to dig through 4 and 5 year old threads for old solutions that may not even apply anymore lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RiFi2k:
Termux and SSH Tunnel

I've done this for ever and it's not going to be restricted to who you have but it will 100 percent get around any data throttling.

Download Termux app and install openssh-server on it. Go ahead and hotspot your phone, then run ifconfig inside Termux to get your current tethering local IP. It will be the only 192. spit out when you run ifconfig. Save this. Run sshd -dD inside Termux which starts an openssh server waiting to be connected to in debug mode to audit traffic. Now pop onto a PC or router you can SSH into, whatever and connect it to your hotspot from your phone. Now SSH tunnel all the traffic from the device back through the openssh server your running on the Termux app. Now that you are on the same local network you can SSH tunnel into that IP address you saved earlier. As long as you make sure all your traffic passes through the tunnel it 100 percent shows that all your internet is being used by Termux app not your hotspot app so you need no other spoofing of hops or anything because to your phone and carrier you are just using a bunch of data in termux, you do it right you will never be throttled I've used 150GB data multiple times.

Step by step > https://github.com/RiFi2k/unlimited-tethering
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MachinePower:
Did you just install from Google play and hit activate wifi Hotspot? In the app read more area he says Tmo users should use USB tether method with hide tether checked??

You are right so far it's working right off of the play store but it does appear to have activated my stock Hotspot app? I received first time Hotspot popup message. I'll monitor my tether data for increases. I think the biggest complaint on this app is data cap on free version but if it works flawlessly I guess it's worth the $$$$.
