they cant do anything about it.. although if you do hit 5GB bandwidth, they'll throttle your 3G for that remaining month.
thats about it and you can monitor it via t-mobile.com -- you should be fine as long as you arent using it to download huge files

I thought 2.3.5 would activate it to use for payments. The Google wallet.

There is a way to get your computer,laptop,notebook, tab to work with barnacle that program looks like it does all of the stuff you would have to do manually through cmd or what ever your using. Google is very helpful that's how I found out about doing it manually. There are manual directions out on the same forums listed in the link provided.

I found another thread on motorolatriumphhacks.com and it says to change the mtu on the client device but it needs to be rooted and there was just a new software update so I'm waiting till a root is avalible for the new software
. I have cleared the cache partition in my triumph to see but no go.. is the issue because of the mtu being set to high? Or a DNS issuer? Thank you for all your help I really appreciate it guys..

Yep looks like all you need to do it change the mtu to 1472 on the client (I.e. laptop,tap,computer etc.) And you should be good to go.

So the trick is to set the mtu to 1472 or under.. on this page it says how to set MTU on android device..but it needs a root to do so..
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using xda premium
Yeah that's the only work around at this point but it works great. You can also use the pdanet app or easytether. You don't need root to use those only this is you need to use your USB cable to wire tether and they cost money. There alternative options if you don't want to root.
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using XDA App
My program was really nothing more than an extended version of finding/setting the right MTU (for dummies, lol).
You shouldn't see any text when you open it. It should just run.
This is what I did for Barnacle. It may work for others that are limited to google only sites....
open start panel
type cmd
press ctrl+shift then click cmd to open as administratror
copy and paste ---> netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1472 store=persistent
hopefully barnacle tethering works
I use wireless tether for root users on my triumph and I use it to tether Bluetooth pan.

[Q] How do I tether the droid charge with the stock service?

Is there a way to tether the droid charge without using any app just using the regular stock service.

Pay for the extra hot spot service. I don't believe there's another way around it if you don't root and install wireless tether app. 3.0 pre12 is best btw.

I haven't had any problems with foxfi ...maybe its the user :what:
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA
I tried them all and have a hard time to decide which one! I guess if it works for you then you should stay with it. One may worked for one but not the others, probably depend on your setup. Example, the none root required, will work great for none rooted users, but it make no diff to us, cause we all rooted here.
I heard there is file such as tethering2036.apk or tethermanager2036.apk and if you delete it will it work is this true? I do not have the phone with me now so I can not check.

Unlimited 4g workaround

Unlimited 4g. I'm sure you've all heard about it. I went and checked it out. Apparently the only catch is you can't hotspot. But since I'm rooted and running cm7 I should be able to still use hotspot with a third party app, right?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Tethering is built into cm7, no need for an app.. and you might need to change the user agent on the device you tether so you don't get the tmobile redirect.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I am on the unlimited 4g, if I use Firefox, default settings, it seems to work fine. IE blows in the first place, but for the sake of mentioning it, and doesn't work, routes everything to a page telling me to buy tethering. I can also torrent just fine. I guess part of it is just the port it's set to listen on, 80, and if there is activity on other ports, so what.
Edit: also, SSL sites work.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I use the hotspot for my laptop and my lady's g2x. She is on the monthly 4g I'm not concerned with using my laptop, it's her g2x that worries me. I don't see how tmobile would catch on. But I wanted to run it by you guys before switching and potentially voiding my contract
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
so what your saying here is that if i switch to the New Unlimited Nationwide 4g data package i wont be able to tether my tablet to my phone?
That's what they told me but (I may be wrong) if you are using a custom rom or just rooted with a thrid party hotspot app tmobile want be able to detect or stop you, right?

How do you do that without an add-on

bit the bullet and switch to the unlimited 4g plan and i havent had any problems with surfing the web or streaming media on my tablet tethered to my phone. i have gtab 2 with cm10 and g2x with cm7.

if so is it possible stock rooted? Do you need a custom kernel or anything?

What Zandeer said. On the nexus 5 the stock tethering built in is the best and honestly only one you should use.

Exactly, this app currently saves me about $30/month. Wondering if it works and what is needed for it to work
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I need this answer too. Its true I don't want the built in app because then network provider knows I am using tethering. I am on Straight Talk and I use Wifi Tether occasionally when I am outside probably once every few months or so. Appreciate if someone can reply to this.
