What about Native Tethering for T-Mobile? - Moto X Themes and Apps

I've seen a bunch of threads on enabling native tethering for VZW/ATT/Sprint, but none for T-Mobile. Any advice on how to enable native tethering for us TMO folks?

I would be very interested as well.

Looking for a mod to the entitlementservice.apk. they have this mod in this section for att and vzw, but nothing specifically for tmo.

Again I am probably missing something but they need mod because tethering doesn't work. On T-Mobile tethering works with out any mods.....at least on my phone.

I am guessing because you don't have unlimited data, or you have been grandfathered in from an older data plan (which I was). Tmo switched my plan to unl when I upgraded to my previous phone 2 years ago. I was getting it fine when I was limited to 5gb, but when they "upgraded' my plan the last time, I lost the free hot spot option. For those who fall under this category, we now get greeted with the attached image. There has been similar hot spot blocking on ATT and VZW, but there are also workarounds in this section for them. I cannot find any that work for TMo clients in this scenario. My previous phone was a GS3 running CM 10.2. AOSP ROMs do not have the carrier check, so I was able to use this without issue for the last 2 years. Switching to XT1053 with stock ROM now causes this problem.

interesting, i recently switched to unlimited data and my tether works fine.
edit: looks like it didnt switch thats why i have tether

What unlimited plan do you have? I have the new one (simple choice i think) and I can tether fine. I've never actually gone beyond the 2.5gb limit, so I don't know if that's why you're getting the message.

I used to be able to tether on non-Kit-Kat on my Nexus 4. I switched to the Moto X running 4.4 and I am now unable to tether. I keep hitting a T-Mobile upsell page.

Post a link to your framework-res.apk file in my thread; I'll give it i a go.

The T-Mobile framework-res.apk/res/values/arrays.xml doesn't have a value set for the config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app property. I was having trouble building framework-res but your thread provided the solution (deleting values-mcc-310-mnc-1; the other directory you said to delete wasn't in my framework-res). Thanks!
My last hope is the single reference to pcweb under framework-res/res/values-mcc310-mnc260/strings.xml. I swapped it for fast but my first attempt at replacing framework-res.apk failed--I need to recheck my steps and make sure I did the resigning and everything correctly. Hopefully I'll have some more time to do this tonight.

they might be well known to you and a few others, but that fact I have not seen it in the inc forums tells me its not THAT well known, or else it would have been posted here already.
I think a greater reason you don't see more posted is because root users have wireless tether or the hacked hotspot so there is no need for PDANet (unless you need it wired).

Well, to be honest I appreciate the post.
I remember when I was waiting and waiting for root on this phone, so I had to use this app for a data connection in my apartment before I got internet access.
I had forgotten all about it until you posted this up. Though I wouldn't use the tethering feature, I have my phone plugged into my computer whenever I'm on my computer, and it would be way more convenient to just type in on the screen than moving my hand from my keyboard to pick up the phone, power button, unlock, read text message, click on text input space, and then type onscreen.
So thank you
Silly iPhones, Android has native hotspot and USB tethering...HAHA no need for extra apps....GO TAKE A LAP SIR
New at&t Inspire can not root
I have most of my new Inspire software loaded. It is running 2.2.1 and I can not root it. I have been a WM guy for years and know UNIX pretty well. I used SuperOneClick v1.9.1 several time and it does root it until I boot the device.
It loads the icon then when it asks me to reboot phone all the rooting goes away. I am hoping to not have to purchase PDA.net as by last option.
I am not even sure it will work with 2.2.1.
Please help !!!
I think you need the AT&T Inspire forum, not the Verizon Droid Incredible forum. Please post your question here for better responses: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1015

Smart Phones that aren't Smart

I looked around here and didn't see any threads like this one so I made a new one.
My friend just got a Samsung T528G smart phone. It is a straight talk phone. I don't think it can be done but does anyone know if you can use the phone as a modem for a PC to have an internet connection? Or even turn the WIFI feature into a hotspot?

I've done some digging on this very same phone because I'm trying to figure out how to side load "java" apps on the insanely greedy TouchWiz OS. You can tether the phone, but its "locked" out because StraightTalk does not want you doing this. I have not actually read up on it yet, as I'm still trying unlock, and sideload mode; but apparently its against the end user agreement to tether. Thank goodness my wife hates her T528G and we'll be getting her an Android phone as soon as possible. I came to XDA to see if there was any cool tricks I could do with the T528G myself, in all fairness to the phone, it does what its supposed to do, and is intended to be an entry level "smart phone".

He's right !
My brother and I are working on putting Android on an HTC Kieser to get my wife of the 528... I dislike the Windows mobile, and I don't like working with it, that is why we're trying to put Android on it. I know it can be done, has been done.

If you did manage to get Android on it, it would likely be so slow, you wouldn't want to use it anyway.
the smartphone is useless.
unless the owner of the phone is smart enough to use the smartphone

When i tether on wifi hot spot or usb tether to my laptop (my friends connect their iPods and phones to them all the time and i never get compaints) it redirects what ever page i want to go on to a T-Mobile page trying to get me to pay for tethering. I can easily get around it with a proxy but sometimes i can't use it. Is there anyway around this?
I wonder if this means T-mobile is finally controlling tethering by packet filtering along with IMEI tracking?
Change user agent string in your browser to android. Both firefox and chrome have extensions for that.

They shut me down last week as well, and I was tethering using CM7's built-in hotspot feature. Using a VPN or changing your browser ID will get around it.
I don't get it.. I was able to tether even before I rooted. Not long ago my wife and I went on a vacation, and the rooms didn't have Wi-Fi like we thought. Tethering to my phone really saved us. Did they block it or something?? I haven't tried it since then.

Yes, they seem to have started enforcing their requirement to have a tethering plan sometime in the last week or two.
I have noticed since posting that it is intermittently working....sometimes I can tether and other times I cannot but I never get the t mobile tether screen on my computer I just get an error message on the phone so Idk if I have been caught or not lol

create a new apn called whatever. put the apn in as epc.t-mobile.com and save it. select it as the default and reboot. All is now good.
Or, if it is a sensation, head over to the dev forum and download one of the unlocked tmo specific roms. they work.

Sorry,tried searching but couldn't find it. What'san apn and how do I create it on my HTC one s?

I believe if you use a tether app from the play store tmobile won't detect it. Usually only happens when you use the stock app that is programmed to check If you have tethering package.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
It's happened to me before when I used a tethering app too..however after some research I found an easy workaround to it!
Apparently, this is caused by T-Mobile doing something with Chrome browser which causes some of the packets/strings sent to block it, or something along those lines.. I am not exactly sure how it works, but a solution is to use Mozilla Firefox or an alternate browser - I have been doing this for a while, and it has been working perfectly
Hope I helped!
In the HTC Sensation forum there are now several ROMs that address this and unlock the APN, fixing tethering across the board for any app. Apparently there is a tethering specifier in the default APN. The reason Firefox works is probably due to the user agent string it passes.

[HOW TO] Unlimited Tether via USB

Okay guys, at least for now I've been able to get unlimited tethering via USB. This does require a paid version of FoxFi for PDA net. I'm unsure to whether or not the wireless tether works through FoxFi, currently sitting at 6.5/7 GB for the month so I haven't been able to test otherwise yet.
As usual with T-Mobile, you need to create a new APN and use IPv4. Then on FoxFi use USB tethering. On the PC client, be sure that you use the Level 1 Hide Tether Usage option in settings.
Build.prop was set for:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
It's extremely worth noting that I've done this on my ROOTED phone, with all T-Mobile apps removed except Mobile Hotspot, Device Unlock and visual voicemail.
My Account, money, TV, Lookout Security and com.t-mobile.pr.adapt and basically any other T-Mobile app is gone.
Please see screenshots for any other settings. Furthermore I'm not responsible if you mess anything up or if it doesn't work for you. Just sharing what I was successful with so far.
If I'm able to determine and wireless option I will post here as well, but must wait until my billing cycle reset. I've got an idea, but as this phone is brand new to me and just had a new baby on the 9th, it's been difficult to find the time to say the least.
Good Luck!

Sorry, 21st. As long as I do USB only I have no issues. Last night, I used WiFi Tether router to stream a few things through my roku 4, it hasn't seemed to increase my hotspot data, so that may be an option.

Is there a way to enable WiFi tether? With the unlimited tether?
I can't seem to share my WiFi capability through USB.... I do IT Work and is a vital function when reception is spotty....
