they can't check, data is data. Its just being relayed through your phone. If its rooted and your using a 3rd party app, there is no way for them to know, unless your using excess amounts data, then they might get suspicious

That is completely wrong the data packets received from the computer is 1 less than the phone therefore of your blacklisted they check your data packets and if the 1 less is received they know your tethering

AT&T Tethering Crackdown - Have you been served?

Friend of mine on an unlimited plan almost got bumped to a 5gb plan cause they caught him tethering and listed the IPs of connected devices. Hey may have been using the att tether not a 3rd party, not sure on that.

They are able to see if it's tethered by analyzing data packets that are sent by the phone

I don't know if it's being cheap or not, but I never understood how tethering can cost AT&T more if you don't go over your data limit. How you use the 3gb shouldn't determine what you get charged. Just my opinion.

Agreed, I never go over, and if I wanted to tether once in a while, while on the go I should be allowed to. If I go over ny data, I would pay for it.

Since we're talking about data, I can attest that the data speeds I get in my area on AT&T are so much better than Sprint and Verizon. Don't know about T-mobiIe. I can't ever see leaving unless something strange were to happen.

Doesn't seem that complex. Put Atrix in lapdock, fire up webtop, turn on WiFi, connect to the One X hotspot. Bigger screen and full keyboard, USB mouse, 4G speeds, and the work day will suck a little less.

On my fourth HTC one x. Should I switch?

As the title says I am on my fourth HTC one x and getting tired of the bugs and screen defects I have had with the phone. How much of a difference would the SGS2 skyrocket be? Should I get another one x or go the skyrocket route?
Ty all

Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I would suggest going to a skyrocket if you are having this kind of luck. The skyrocket may have a slightly different processor. But still 1.5ghz. Skyrocket is still running 2.3.5 out of the box but there are solutions for 4.0.4 already in this forum. Can somebody correct where I'm wrong please.

Don't downgrade. The One X is a beautiful device.

is this common with the one x? They have tons of issues or what? I haven't even looked at or considered one due to no sd or removable battery. That's a deal breaker for me

Found that to be a small issue. Storage is segmented between apps and system. Also this is the third screen issue I've had.

I would never even consider getting a one x because it has no external sd or battery. And with all those issues, I would ****can that turd.

Had a One X for 2 days. Sold it and purchased the Skyrocket. The One X is slick, I just don't like HTC anymore.

Not really. Just needed LTE. This phone feels fast but something isn't right about it. Feels too much like an apple product.
How's the battery life on the USGS2 skyrocket? Will it get an official CIS update?

Should stay on one X. The S4 processor is much more better den the S3 processor in the skyrocket. And S3 indeed, outdated

"phone" apn used to switch to non-LTE network, now it doesn't. 13gb proves nothing, you can get to 30gb even at throttled speed.
The whole att throttle thing is still based by market guys.
If live in an area that is not being hammered by att users you will most likely not get throtle. If is an area that is being constanly used well then most likely you will get throtle.

If you do it yourself, best find an all-in-one glass/digitizer/lcd setup.

My screen broke from a fall recently and the phone insurance company I got charged me a deductible of only $125 for a new phone.
Of course they didn't have it in stock so I have to wait a bit longer for a replacement.

They don't have unlimited everything anymore. Their mobile share plans are pretty good though. I'm on a mobile share plan with 3 other smartphones. It has 10GB of data and unlimited talk and text. That plan costs me about $235. No one else on the plan uses more than 1GB of data so I feel like mine is unlimited. Plus, the LTE in the Atlanta area is really fast.

$120 for 4 lines, some weird business discount
LTE speeds also depend heavily on local traffic. When I first got my One X, I hit 25-30Mps routinely. Now, with a lot more LTE phones out there, I don't think I've gone over 20 in months.
