If I run a 3rd party app for tethering like FoxFi will that go against my hotspot plan or my regular unlimited data usage.
This is what I am trying to accomplish. Being that I have unlimited data, at the same time, I want to use my hotspot. BUT not eat up my hotspot usuage. If that makes sense.

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
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.
Basically my laptop is mediocre and refuses to connect to my schools wifi. My Nexus 4 does connect to my schools wifi.
I tethered a data connection from my N4 to my laptop and it works fine but it sucks a lot of data. Is there a way I can tether WiFi (not mobile data) to my laptop from my N4?
I try and use the built-in tether but it forces itself onto my data plan in order to tether, I want to stay on my wifi.
Try this:

fqrouter2 is the solution
Use fqrouter2 for rooted Android devices and you have a perfectly working WiFi Repeater (available free in Google Play Store)
Currently I am using the custom rom Mahdi-Rom 2.7 [08/08]
I see that it has the tethering and portable hotspot under wireless network settings.
With tmobile, even though I have unlimited data, I believe they do have limit for hotspot sharing only 3gigs.
Can someone confirm that if we are using a custom rom, we can tether without our carrier knowing?
or we need to have some kind of VPN on the phone ? When I am out without wifi, I would like to use my phone's data connect to laptop.
The tethering and portable Hotspot is a feature of aosp. All roms has this feature since the oneplus one ships with cm which is pretty much aosp + cm features.
Depending on what your t mobile plan is, it has included tethering. So if you choose to tether, it will work.
If the carrier doesn't want you to tether and you don't have tethering on your plan then when you try and tether and a device connects to your portable Hotspot you will be greeted with a t mobile placeholder page telling you to get a tethering plan.

I have ported this over to the OPO http://d-h.st/Usv
So first set up a portable hotspot and connect to your hotspot via your laptop see what happens first.
I haven't used any special Wifi tether apps for many years. I did a search and couldn't find any useful info.
My phone is rooted, on Android 9. Would appreciate tips on this topic.
I do have 10GB hotspot with my unlimited plan, but occasionally need more.
Thanks,

to share your mobile data via wifi hotspot:
Settings > connections > hotspot
wifi tethering (wifi connection via wifi hotspot) needs two wifi hardware modules to being able to send/receive at the same time.
