i had this happen about a week ago to me too. i reset on the 8th after the reset ill see if it keeps using my tether data allotment. i have tried everything except a vpn. but only because i dont pay for one.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidreign:
This happened to me recently. When I turn on my hot spot it says no connected device but I am tethering and it is racking up data on my t-mobile hot spot account.

The only way I can get data to stop accumulating is to install this user agent switcher for Chrome.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shin234:
yea the agent switcher works for browsing in chrome but other port specific services are still blocked like my ps4 and steam on my pc.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidreign:
yeah this sucks I hope someone comes up with a fix, after all this is one of the reasons we buy nexus devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyrobo0by:
What did you change?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidreign:
I have tried all of these and none get back what I had before which is tethering without a switcher agent and without tmobile seeing it.

Posting because I am now having the same issues after using this is my internet source for 6+ months. Really sad to see it's not working anymore as it is the only access that is available where I live =[ Hopfully some people smarter than me may figure out some work around!

(Optional) Using a root file explorer, navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ and make a copy of settings.db

Install and open a SQL editor and grant it root access when prompted (such as SQLite Editor)

Tap the APPS tab and then “Settings Storage”

Tap on settings.db then global

Tap on the + symbol to add a new key/value pair

In the name field type in tether_dun_required

In the value field type in 0 (zero)

Tap Save

Open the Android system Settings

Under WIRELESS & NETWORKS tap More…

Tap Mobile networks then APNs

(If you’re using T-Mobile) Make sure your T-Mobile configuration is selected (mine is T-Mobile GPRS), then tap on it

(If you’re using T-Mobile) Make sure your APN protocol and APN roaming protocol are both set to IPv4 (it doesn’t look like tethering works with IPv6 yet)

(If you’re using T-Mobile) Make sure your APN is set to fast.t-mobile.com

Reboot

See if tethering works for you. If not, continue with the next section.

build.prop

Some are reporting that the change above doesn’t work all the time, and may not work with AT&T. If that describes you, modify your build.prop file.

Modifying system files could render your device useless, so by continuing you’re assuming that risk

Since this involves working around a carrier setting, you also need to make sure that your plan doesn’t prohibit you to tether (Note: your plan doesn’t have specifically allow you to tether, it just has to not prohibit you from doing so)

Using a root file explorer, navigate to /system/

(Optional) Make a copy of the build.prop

Open the build.prop file with a text editor

Add the following line to the bottom of build.prop file: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Save the file and reboot your device

While these steps have been confirmed to work with both T-Mobile and AT&T, we haven’t checked to see if they’ll work with Sprint, Verizon, or other carriers. If it works for you, regardless of which carrier you use, we want to hear about it! Head down to the comments and let us know!

how are you opening the build.prop?

i'm using ES File Explorer and the ES Text Editor and it keeps on saying Error while trying to save.

Says also the file is Read Only
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miv3r:
Use root file Explorer available on playstore. It will ask for root privileges and alow you the option to edit the build prop. Make sure to back up the file first.

Anybody make any progress on this?? I haven't found any work a rounds not even WiFi tether router.. Looks like something changed in 5.1.1 because I use to be able to use stock tethering in 5.0 and i could tether to my ps4 without tmo seeing it ( on benzo rom)

I want to dismantle the settings apk and see if there's anything in there.. Maybe there's some new line in the build.prop regarding tethering....

I've been adding extra tethering to my account ( hoping I get this project fi invite before my bill comes up ) trying to see if I can come up with a fix.. I also wonder if this will work on project fi..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidreign:
Anyone figure this out yet?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinaldistic:
Just curious has anyone tried the adb route to enable tethering dun settings? Is the only method that works for me on sprint so it might be worth a try

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

That's this :

1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).

2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options

3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed

4. Start an adb shell: adb shell

5. In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Edit the Build.Prop

6. Then open root explorer and open build.prop add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to bottom

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

Also how about trying a VPN such as private Internet access or opera max set to run ALL Internet through it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidreign:
The build prop edit doesn't work anymore. Haven't tried the VPN thing yet. It's really frustrating I have unlimited data and should be able to use it for what ever I want.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
tmobile gives every customer with the completely unlimited high speed data plans 5-7gb tethering. having unlimited data does not mean that you can use your unlimited data to power your home internet, thats why tethering is limited. if all you need i a little tethering, then 5-7gb should be more than enough. but for your home internet, you would need to purchase a seperate internet account.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamahakid:
The build prop edit works fine for me on att. Not sure if that's why though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
sorry, i was acting to much my age earlier today, one of those days :angel:

the build.prop edit isnt enough, theres another file that you have to edit. but i dont know which one it is, as i dont use it. but, when i used the wifi tether router app, tmobile never detetected me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I can't vouch for that app. I used ~700gb a month this past summer and I never received a letter form T-Mobile about 'abusing' data. I could have plugged my phone in and shared the screen anyway to use that much data while watching TV on hulu/Netlfix but tethering was easier.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, what else did you do besides for the build.prop edit? and is it still working for you? i tether legally now, as 5gb is plenty for me(dont have a computer/laptop any more).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I didn't edit my build prop I just used the tether app you recommended. I haven't used it since August so I can't say whether or not t still works but I can give it a go later today or tomorrow
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] myrapid:
Hi

How is the speed in tomtom, on your devices?

I have TomTom 6, on my advantage, and tomtom 5 on my universal...

The universal runs really smooth but the advantage stutters and updates once per second were the uni is total smooth.

Does anyone else have this issue? Is it the onboard GPS chip? or TomTom, or because the maps are install on the mciro drive, althoug i have installed them on main memory as well and it was no diffrent?

Is there a fix?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
if you have the screen landscape instead of portrait, tomtom takes 4 times longer to draw the picture !! it is a known issue with tomtom but the creators cant be bothered to sort it out.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] myrapid:
I have them both running in landscape, its just so slow at updateing am going to try and link my old GPS to the advantge and try that.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Digital.Diablo:
It runs slower than an Orange SPV I've seen running. It runs the same sort of speed as my old Axim x50v - there is a 'speed improvement' which basically involves turning off all the POI's as you're driving along - this gives the display a boost.

I've also seen suggestions of running the maps of the internal memory (if you've space) or a MiniSD card, which is supposed to increase performance, but I cannot say for definate if this is the case.

Oh yeah, and going from V6.00 to v6.010 has certainly helped!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] QAN:
QVGA

The biggest problem is the vga screen. Does anybody have a utility that can force the screen to qvga (lowres)? The VGA resolution and the OS that supports portrait better than landscape are the problem for the Ameo. When we can force TomTom to lowres it will be much faster.

Simply put.. I consider the Galaxy S6 too big of a departure from what makes Samsung.. Samsung. :cool:

Sealed Batteries and the lack of the Micro-SD Card option (not to mention the styling) has turned one of Samsung's flagships into a Samapplesung device in my eyes..

At least, we now have the distinction of owning what will be the LAST Samsung flagship device that did not conform to Apple's standards.

Because I honestly feel in 6 months, we will see a castrated Samapplesung Note 5 as well..:cool:

Am I the only one feeling the party is almost over? and that this will most likely be my last Samsung flagship purchase?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mgbotoe:
You know what they say, the S series are an insight to what the Note series will be. lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RaiderWill:
Say It Ain't So Toe...

In this case.. I pray not Toe.. :cool:

I'll prepare for the worse...

And hope for the best. ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] naruto.ninjakid:
Its a damn shame. I'm already looking for an alternative manufacturer. I have big hands so the Note 4 feels normal for me. I need to see if LG or HTC have a good alternative. Its a damn shame. They could have at least kept the Micro SD card.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RaiderWill:
Good to see you here my friend... :cool:

Can you believe I still have my LG G-Pad 8.3...

And I've been running the same Mahdi ROM from 5-20-14...

It was his Greatest Version for the G-Pad.. FLAWLESS not one hiccup in over 9 months !

My Note 4 is not going anywhere for some time to come if this is truly Samsung's new direction.. Keep your Note 4 and run FireKat V10 it's the front runner for KK ROM's IMO and just hold your ground.. The Note 4 does the job just fine.

I just don't like Samsung turning into Samapplesung to silence critics on build quality.. Our Note 4's with a touch of metal still feels much more premium than the Note 3 and we STILL have Battery & SD-Card access. ;)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Gr8Danes:
Anyone interested in Samsung Pay will come to the Note 4? That's about the only thing I would like to see from the S6. Google wallet is cool, but if you can use the magnetic card terminal, Samsung is going to trounce Apple Pay and Google Wallet, at least for now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] naruto.ninjakid:
Yeah I'm going to stick with this till the note 6 at least.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] raza89:
I thought they were completely changing the look and feel of touchwiz. It looks pretty much the same. Thats utter garbage,

And samsung had been overhyping the idea of completely re-designing the phone.. to make it look like the iphone 6? I mean seriously? I get the iphone 6 has a beautiful design and I love it too, but out of a million possibilities for designing your phone you chose to copy apple. Thats ridiculous.

On an ending note, I really like my Note 4, the first thing i did was replace touchwiz, but apart from that I really like the device. Unfortunately it looks like it will be one of the last samsung phones I own. Whats even worse is that we are running out of decent alternatives and android on a whole looks to be having a ****ty year in the high end phones market segment.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rosedog:
Right now, sure but I don't like swapping cards if I don't have too and this won't be the price forever. The 128gb card came down pretty fast in price iirc. This is also great for tablets and the Surface Pro 3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RaiderWill:
Different Strokes...

My station in life ill affords me the means to spend upper-middle class cell phone money on just an SD-Card..:cool:

So.. from my perspective, even if it came down $100.00 to $300.00.. I would not pull the trigger when I can swap 128's out in what? 60 seconds ? :D

And heaven forbid *failure* and loss of data by engendering that much trust in one card.. ;)

But if it works for you.. your ship has arrived.. :good:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] btort1:
While this phone is average at best, it's probably going to do worst than the S5. Samsung will realize their mistake and bring back the sd slot and removable battery by the time the note 5 comes out. The only reason this phone would be appealing is, IF the new touchwiz was as smooth stock android or htc skin. The only thing samsung had over other android oems was the removable back and sd slot.

It would be stupid for LG to not use this opportunity to destroy the S6 with their G4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] naruto.ninjakid:
At this point I’m wondering what’s going on. I wanted Samsung to increase the size of the Note 4 but they didn’t. I can accept that though. But no SD card and removable battery is a deal breaker. The S series always forebodes what will come to the note. I’m not sure why no other manufacturers are going head o head with Samsung. HTC looked like they were with the one max but no one max 2. Hopefully they pull what they did with the S5 waterproof and say again the note targets certain individuals and add the removable battery and SD Card or no more Samsung phones for me. Someone also needs to make some S-Pen alternative as well.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] speedy1979:
Even the HTC M9 has expandable storage. Why Samsung why??????
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Amd4life:
Samsung must be listening to the WRONG customer polls, no one that buys Samsung devices cares that the back is glass, especially if that means they have to lose the removable battery, and the sd card . and everyone uses a darn case anyway

Love the new processor, and I'd imagine the improved memory standard, but none of these improvements are worth losing so many hardware functions :thumbsdown:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] racer83l:
I keep reading everywhere how the S design language leaks into the Note that follows... Can someone please explain what from the S5 appeared in the Note 4.. I see 2 very different distinct phones. IMO the Note look, feels, and means business and the S is more of a every person device.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] yusuf_adsas:
I second that.

Have both S and Note series and been following its upgrades; just becoz of the fact that the S series are released b4 the N series doesn't mean the S models are pilot projects for the N's. They serve for different segments.

Anyways as for the S6, I too am sad for the absence of ext SD card and removable battery cover, but then again maybe (surely) Sammy had done a thorough market research and knows what's best for their interest; xda community's opinion only represents a tiny minority of its users and by no means are used as benchmarks.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mgbotoe:
We aren't saying the note 4 is a bigger s5...the thing is when samsung does something to a phone, best believe it will pop up in the next line.

Take the finger scanning and the shealth / exercise thing for example. those were introduced in the S serie and behold behold...they popped up on the note

And take the note edge for example...behold behold...the S line has it. The only difference between them is the size but essentially anything you can find in the S serie is on the note serie.

And if its not visually there, it is disabled in the code (their lil multitasking box they came out with on the s5)

The odds of no removable battery / sd card...is well you know, 90% chance of happening lol. I personally thought that will happen on the Note line first (and the glass) because end of the day, the note IS and will ALWAYS be geared towards business people and not regular consumers. And sammy seems to be on their iPhone classy trip right now. There was nothing wrong with the leather back covers...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mattb6288:
Looks like the micro SD got left out of Samsung's phone and made its way to HTC's. Next is gonna be the Note 5 with no S-pen and the excuse that no one uses it (hopefully they don't go that direction). They better bring back micro sd for the Note 5 or I won't upgrade.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gladesmellzgood:
I just want the improved fingerprint sensor! Will definitely jump to the note 5 as soon as it's available.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Squilchi:
I'm genuinely sad... these features are so nice to have. I went on reddit and saw someone post about the s6 and I commented and said rip samsung got bashed to hell lol. Is this the end? Is this even real life? No hope for humanity :'(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
Watching March Madness and just saw a S6 commercial. Damn nice looking phone...I just like new designs. That's why I got the G3, Flex and then came back to Samsung for the Note 4. I will get the S6 Edge and maybe back to the Note 5 if different then the 4. Life as a phone junkie.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jonahtriangle:
I think there might be many who think the note 4 was "the next best thing" to multigrain sliced bread. I switched to the Note 4 thinking it was going to be awesome and big. Now I think its tooo big. I never needed to switch a battery ever and who cares about replacing the battery when 90% of the people *****ing about it are going to buy the latest and greatest a year from now anyways. I have never used up so much memory on a phone in my life. I have a 64gb card and only use it for backups. I could see some people needing lots of storage but come on do we really need it. I am looking for a lag free phone that doesn't heat up so much that it doesn't get throttled down everytime i want to really use it. Seriously what is the point of having this fast snapdragon if it cant take the heat in the kitchen. I have also had too many problems with this phone. Gps, camera and screen issues. I have been through 4 note 4s and the last rep said I could switch to another devive if id like. Right now I have a black stripe going down my screen and I am contimplating waiting for the s6 to drop and ask tmobile to switch me. Dont get me wrong the note 4 is a great device the fastest I've ever had. Just too many issues with lag and the above mentioned issues. I am looking forward to that exynox and a smaller phone that I could really manhandle with one hand. Maybe not all the chicks are looking for guys with huge note 4s after all. 5.1 inches is good as long as it does the job.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
Damn. ^
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mgbotoe:
I felt the need to comment on the resale value...unless I misread. Saying the resale value will deminish is a far fetch opinion. Samsung is the apple of android and it resale value is not something I see dropping at the new buying price. I know it have been said many times but xda users are just a bleep in the grand scheme of everything. The resale value MAY drop on swappa (your average user will not find this without a personal recommendation) but not on popular site like Amazon or ebay. all apple products will sell like hot cakes years after despite the previous consumer asking fee...they are wanted, they are desired by all and are in demand (except by xda..we are the 0.1%) . This is the same for Samsung among all android devices. You go down the street for a survey "the next big thing" is what everyone remember. Samsung is all exerting desire ..I mean what is HTC and LG slogan? Some does not even know Sony makes phone.

Every bus stop and billboard in my area is of apple and Samsung. so I have to say if there is anything positive to this new direction by Samsung is that if you buy it right out, make your money worth and the day you resell in great condition you will get a good percent of your money back. ...great investment.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
yep...DAMN!

with jump, who cares if the battery or anything else goes bad; just return the damn phone and get a replacement!

The one thing, is , we'll have to change our back up habits if the ext sd card goes away on all phones in the future, and those back ups will need to be stored on your pc, in the cloud, or both, instead of just making a nand and putting on your external card..

which, btw, you should be backing up your external card on a regular basis too, in case it fries..we ALL back up our external card on a regular basis, dont we??????
