I had a mt4g glacier and I was able to use the hot spot for my kids itouch. But with the htc one s they keep getting a message that I have to sign up. Is there a work around ? Someone post about changing or adding a apn. Does the phone need to be unlocked and or rooted? Tried looking for this on this site but couldn't find anything.

The new apn seems to work for most people. Don't need to root or unlock.
All I had to do was create a new apn, set to epc.tmobile.com

Could you please elaborate? I when into the APNs and I already see two APNs with that: T-mobile data and T-mobile MMS.
Thank you.
i'm sorry I dont mean to threadcrap but are you guys talking about changing APN so you can use T-mobile hotspot for free (without paying $14.99/month) ? i didnt know this was possible without rooting and use a 3rd wifi tether app. plz elaborate

Pretty much. We already pay for unlimited data, there's no reason we should have to pay to use it.
Basically, just go the the APN settings, and follow the steps above.

When I got the One S, I switched plans. The plan for my device is the 5gb plan ($25.00)
On twitter I saw a link to this page:
http://blog.t-mobile.com/2012/05/18/family-data-plans-not-a-one-size-fits-all-approach/
Customers who pay more, should get more. T-Mobile smartphone customers with 5GB or 10GB data plans also get our Smartphone Mobile Hotspot feature included. This means, with a capable T-Mobile smartphone (most are), customers can power up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices with fast, 4G data. So rather than needing to account for each device on a shared family data plan, customers can use their existing data plan to power multiple devices, while still saving hundreds of dollars annually.
So check your plan! I still modified the APN before I knew about this.

Go into Settings>Mobile Network>Access Point Names. Tap the Menu button and select New APN. Name it something, and enter in the APN box: epc.tmobile.com
After you enter that, tap the menu button again and select save. When you tap save, it will take you back to the Access Point Menu. Select your new APN and you can now tether.
Other functions like picture messeges, etc, might not work while this APN is selected.

I have an old 5GB plan (on even more plus) that's $20(was a $25 plan but they are taking $5 a month because a manager outright lied to me). I was told if I want to tether I would have to pay $15 more. Further more, I was told anyone who wants to add tethering needs to be paying a combined total of $35 a month for internet and hot spot. So if you currently pay $25 a month, you'd have to pay another $10 to bring the total up to $35. What a ripoff. $15 more a month for something I'll use for a couple of hours.
I don't know if that's the absolute truth or not, seems every CS rep I speak to gives me different answers for everything. I've been lied to or misinformed by reps more times than I can count (including supervisors and managers). But I keep getting account credits at least!
MMS still works with the new APN. Also the ONLY reason this is ok in my eyes is that TMobile caps data. As long as I'm paying for 2 or 5 or even 10GB a month, they aren't going to tell me how I can use it. That'd be like a car company leasing you a passenger car and telling you you can't carry passengers unless you pay more each month for the privilege. It's ludicrous.

That's exactly it. There's a hidden setting in the locked T-Mobile APN that redirects you to the sign up page if you don't have tether, but the one you create doesn't have that setting, so you don't get redirected.

From reading I am guessing the best way to get teathering to buy PDANet and sideload with Sideload Wonder Machine?
If so has anyone done it and can they explain the steps?
Sorry I new to andriod and SWM
Go to junefabrics website, all you need is there. It walks you through everything during installation.
This belongs in themes and apps, not development
I was able to load and use pdanet without sideloading. Haven't been able to get BT tethering to work but usb works fine. Sure wish I could get wifi hotspot tethering working, I guess rooting will be the only option...
Ya I am, waiting on better rom devlopments before roiting. you get better speed wthe pda net via usb.

ATT uses only one data port so teethering or surfing they see the usage as the same Been tetthering for years. JUST DONT BE A HOG ABOUT IT LIKE SOME.
Uh oh...
I know this is posted in other places, so please don't bite my head off.
I can confirm the text message that AT&T sends is no joke. If you call the number in the text, they say there was tethering activity from the line. They will try and force you to the 4 gig plan w/tethering. I denied denied denied and they said if there is ANY tethering activity on your line after October 31, then you will be dropped from the unlimited plan and auto enrolled in the 4g tethering plan without notice. You will also lose the ability to get back on the unlimited data plan, since you violated the TOS.
Way to go, AT&T. You all suck.

That is not really true. Due to your TOS ATT reserved the right to change your plan as long as they told you about it. It even states that all they have to do is send you an email, text, or letter that it has been done. If they change it due to what they can prove is a violation of your TOS then you will have to pay the termination fee.
If you don't call the number then can they really claim they notified you? I got a text the other day. I never tether and did it one time for about 2 minutes and it was the end of the world.
I got the text message and a letter in the mail as well. I haven't called them yet but I'm gonna call to ensure I don't lose my unlimited data. Kinda sucks that they caught me but I was tethering way too much quite honestly.

The text I got...
AT&T Free Msg: Did you know tethering your Smartphone to a computer requires a tethering plan? Pls call 866-975-0005 for details or visit att.com/dataplans.
Same thing here. I never use the damn thing and 2 weeks ago I woke up early to play WoW and cable internet was down, so I figure what the hell. Anyway, after the email, the txt message and the letter, I called them and the operator said no changes will be done to my account as long as there is no thetering after 10/31/11. She even accused me of using "custom firmware" and recommended I did a "factory reset". Can you believe that? ;-)

I don't have exact answers per se, but as an AT&T Mobility employee I have some advice and some warnings.
Advice: It would be much better to get a "4G" SIM instead of the GoPhone one, just in case this causes any issues.
When you go activate the SIM, take another, non-smartphone, phone with you and say that that's what you will use. We will put the non-smartphone IMEI in the system and it will allow you to get the $50 unlimited talk,text, and web.
Once you have the "4G" SIM activated, and the non-smartphone IMEI registered, put the SIM in the Inspire. Now, the seemingly difficult part.
Warning: You MUST find the APN settings for our feature phones somewhere, if you can't, I will try to find them for you. The reasoning behind this is that more then likely the "web" included on the $50 package is only one the feature phone APN, instead of the smartphone one.
Secondly, don't be surprised if one day you stop having internet connectivity. As we do with our postpaid customers, we also have a system for prepaid that sweeps every IMEI used and applies (or in your case, removes) the appropriate data packages.
I know that our prepaid data packages are a ripoff, but this is one way to do it, if only temporarily.
P.S. Where did you hear it would only be EDGE? That seems incorrect to me.

So if I am understanding this right, the phone must be rooted, and the APN needs to be changed to reflect a featured phone data plan instead of the smartphone data plan that the droid is expecting to use. Along with using a 4G simcard, that should be it right? The apn settings are all over the internet, i just read them, its like wap.cingular.com or something, but whats this sweeping system you speak of, does it compare the sim card over the air to the imei its 'registered with' opposed to the imei of the phone its installed in?

It will work just fine stock. I have been running prepaid for awhile now and have not had a single issue. The apns will set on their own to the proper ones once you insert your similar card.
And they are right att dies sweep the IMEI but it doesn't matter as I gave reps my IMEI when I got the inspire and swapped my account from my old captivate. Also I font use a data plan as I am normally around wifi at all times. The only backdraw is if you have less then $5 on your account the data won't connect. ATT can't stop you from having any phone you want on prepaid. They tried with the IPhone and a lawsuite ended that.

Im actually using an Inspire via GoPhone. I have been for a few months. I just went to a local att store and simply bought a simcard, some airtime, and activated that sim card, popped it in and voila! I dont recommend buying a cheap GoPhone and using the sim out of that because recently, att decide to start locking the sim that comes with that phone to that specific phone. I made that mistake the first time and found it out the hard way.
I only have the $25/mo plan and i buy a $25 data package when needed. I dont use a lot of data, since I have wifi available most of the time.

It seems T-Mobile has cracked down on tethering these last few days. Mine stopped working during a download (I get the T-Mobile splash screen now), my roommate, who has a My Touch 4G running CM7, had his stop working yesterday.
I've gotten the same results from a couple other T-Mobile users. What a pain, it should be a crime having them charge us for the ability to use the bandwidth that we already pay for.
if you have the 5gb $25 data plan you get hotspot included, just call them up and tell them you want the 5gb hotspot promotion... unless you are on a cheaper plan of course.
Thanks, this worked great!
I'm on the Sensation, I had installed apn manager and found that there was a hidden apn named tmobile tether and instead of epc.tmobile.com it had pcweb.tmobile.com instead. One of our chefs has since then erased this hidden apn and all is well.

If you're not on an unlimited plan, tethering isn't any extra. It's only an additional fee if you're still on unlimited (because Verizon sucks). Unless if you haven't changed your plan since they put that policy in place...and if you haven't, well, do so.
If you're overseas on a GSM carrier, why would you be using a Verizon device? Especially since the Dev Edition is available and can be S-OFF'd easily.

If you're not on an unlimited plan, tethering isn't any extra. It's only an additional fee if you're still on unlimited (because Verizon sucks). Unless if you haven't changed your plan since they put that policy in place...and if you haven't, well, do so.
If you're overseas on a GSM carrier, why would you be using a Verizon device? Especially since the Dev Edition is available and can be S-OFF'd easily.

Mobile hotspot absolutely does cost extra on Verizon, even if you have a data-limited plan.

That's only for the "More Everything" plans. It costs extra for everyone else either as an add-on or a more expensive data tier.

From what I understood, unless if you're still on a grandfathered plan of any type (maybe specifically unlimited data grandfathered, I'm not sure), wifi tethering is supposed to be free. Unless if you have proof otherwise, I'm going to stick with my belief.
That being said, I still have unlimited data, and I'm only going to give it up when they pry it out of my cold, dead fingers, so regardless of their actual policies, it doesn't affect me. Besides, now that we have S-Off and full root, free tethering should be relatively simple once someone figures out how to do it, if it hasn't already been solved.

My "proof" is that it wouldn't let me enable the hotspot on my phone with my 10GB/month plan. You have to upgrade to their new plans for the free tethering.

Actually Verizon lost an FCC appeal for LTE, they must allow tethering for plans that are not "Unlimited".
Ask them for the provisioning if you are not on an unlimited plan.
