Unlimited 4g workaround - T-Mobile LG G2x

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?

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.

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.

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

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?

I use Google Chrome & change the user agent. Give that a go.

How do you do that without an add-on
I figured it out. I sometimes forget Google answers all.

Some routers don't allow access to the ports required to make Order & Chaos work. If I can't connect to a WiFi hotspot then I just play on 3G. Works great most of the time.

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 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.

When on public wifi, you usually have to open a browser and agree to their terms before anything on wifi will work. Did you do that?
No never did. Not know about that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Yeah it's super annoying as many times those pages are not compatible with mobile browsers. There's a number of times I've had to mess around with it for awhile to get internet to work. Depending on the browser I've used there are times the agreement page doesn't even show up.

Honestly, not even sure what you are asking. Why do you want to appear connected to a Wi-Fi connection if you are on anything but Wi-Fi? Am I understanding this correctly? Either you are on: 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, etc. when connecting to data/network. Can you please elaborate more on what it is that you are wanting/asking?

True, video chat apps most likely will require a Wi-Fi connection in order to perform.

You can always try one of the many apps from the Market: Skype, Tango, ooVoo, Qik, etc... see if one of these works for what you are trying to do.

Netflix app not streaming on 4G

So I started a Netflix account last night on my PC it works fine but when I try to stream it on my phone I get an error saying we could not connect to the Netflix service try again later ( some other unimportant stuff ) then error code 12001. I called Netflix and the girl I spoke with said it was an issue with Samsung devices after the newest update. I'm currently running synergy nightly builds the 9/5/2012 build. Was wondering before I revert back to stock if anyone else was having this issue or any at All?

Im pretty sure after the latest update it only streams on wifi.

Thanks for the reply she mentioned something similar to this but not those exact words. What if I download an older apk? Unless its going to prompt me to automatically update the app if that's the case I'll just cancel and use some other service any recommendations?
