So under the My Usage section in verizon's website, under minutes used, sms used, and data used, i see a section for mobile broadband connect. Is this the usage that is measured if you use the official mobile hotspot connect on the bolt?
What if you use wireless tether from the market? will that affect those meters?
pretty sure it won't. it will effect your normal usage rates. Verizon has no way of telling whether you are using wireless tether or pandora.
This is for their data plans for the mifi's or usb modems. I don't know if this is where tethered data will show up once the promotion ends on the unlimited tethering. I would guess that would be the location since they are counted differently and you have certain limits on tethering.

Is there any decent app for monitoring bandwidth on WM6 devices?
I'm on an 'unlimited' data contract that has a fair usage policy of 1GB. As I regularly use my phone (HTC Touch Pro on T-Mobile UK) with my laptop (Lenovo X61) to connect to the net, I need to monitor how much bandwidth I'm using via the phone. As I also use the laptop via wirless LAN and LAN at home, installing the software on my laptop won't give me a true representation of how much data is going through the phone.
Ideally I'm looking for something with the features of Netlimiter to monitor and restrict if necessary.
Any suggestions?
There's really nothing out there?
Surely plenty of people have a capped data limit?
You can use SPB GPRS Monitor.
edit: seems like somebody edited there post and took my answer lol
I wonder if it's possible to set your phone as a WiFi hotstop (http://www.wmwifirouter.com for example) and then connect your device to the "networK" or is it only possible for other devices?
I don't think so, if your phone is actually acting as a wifi hotspot, it is actually accessing internet via your data connection with cellular line, so you don't need to connect your phone with itself again. You should be able to access internet with your phone's web browser at the same time your phone is acting as a wifi hotspot.
Damn, that's sad. So with that being said, will it actually charge money if I set it as a hotspot and use the network on another device?
It depends if you already suscribe to a data plan. If yes, you should not being charged more tha what your plan allows you. As long as you use WMWIFIrouter and set it to connect via cellular line , do not set it as usb modem, or you will be charged the same way as you use ''usb modem'' app.
With my provider I get unlimited data but that does not include tethering, I am wondering if anyone knows of a program that acts as a mobile access point (be by wifi or usb) that uses the normal data plan instead of acting as tethered data.
I have a SGS 2.1 rooted
I have noticed this same issue with my previous HTC Thunderbolt as well. For a while now, whenever I use the mobile hotspot or usb tethering on my PC, I can only browse the internet (ie. Firefox) for a few minutes and then all browsing will state that there is no internet connection available. However if I run a torrent, it will run and full speed at that. Is Verizon only blocking me from certain ports on the internet?
I have incurred very high data usage with the Thunderbolt and now Charge which may be causing this issue. However, I find it very strange they'd block web browsing but not torrenting, where the latter which would typically suck much more bandwidth, the last thing Verizon wants!)
Would anyone here be able to explain or if they've experienced this as well?
I am using Netflix on PS4, which is connected to mobile Hotspot of OnePlus 6. As my data allowance is limited, I want to force the Hotspot to use maximum 1 mbps speed. My mobile data speed is around 10mbps.
I have found one app "Bandwidth Ruler", but it requires root to function properly. So Is there any way to limit the bandwidth of mobile Hotspot/USB tethering on OnePlus without root? Thanks for your help.
Sadly it impossible to do it without root.. If you have any extra router at home... You can set bandwidth limiting on your router
