I am using Netflix on PS4, which is connected to mobile Hotspot of OnePlus 6. As my data allowance is limited, I want to force the Hotspot to use maximum 1 mbps speed. My mobile data speed is around 10mbps.
I have found one app "Bandwidth Ruler", but it requires root to function properly. So Is there any way to limit the bandwidth of mobile Hotspot/USB tethering on OnePlus without root? Thanks for your help.
Sadly it impossible to do it without root.. If you have any extra router at home... You can set bandwidth limiting on your router

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.
hi,
I have a nexus 7 wifi only and i use a 3g hotspot router with limited usage to connect when i am not home,when i am home i have a dsl connection without limit,i want an app to watch the data i use on each wifi network
thanks in advance
I decided to root my phone (galaxy S5) and downloaded the Wi-Fi tether router from the play store. I recently got a message saying " You've used 100% of the paid high speed data on your T-mobile plan. Your Smartphone Mobile Hotspot speed will now be limited to 128 kbps until 09/23/2015. Smartphone data will still be at full speeds. My laptop connects at full speed when using a vpn. Last month it also would work using a user agent and the console would be unaffected for some reason this month T-mobile has found a way to stop it. The console will obtain the IP address, internet connection is successful but the download speed says 128 kbps making everything unplayable. My APN and router settings are all correct and I don't know what to do. This is my only means of playing online or enjoying Netflix plz help me.
Hmmm
The ps store and friends list load slow but I can play games without lag for some reason
Same Problem here. The issue is you can use a user-agent switcher for the pc to hide tethering but not for the PS4. There is no way to hide it so Tmob ALWAYS knows you are tethering your PS4....ie data gone...
I plan on recording internet radio streams to files on my windows pc. I will be syncing these files to my phone using mobile data pointed to my own domain via dynamic dns. to reduce bandwidth costs, I will be using my wifi when at home. even though my home bandwidth is unlimited, will it be wasted due to redundancy? ie, when on the home wifi, will the data flow from my pc to the internet through my router and then back through my router to my phone?
Hi all,
I have NBN Fibre 100mbps / 40mbps (300GB - 150 peak / 150 off-peak)
Modem/router is Audiocodes MP264
I have an HTC One M7 (rooted) and Galaxy Note Edge (no root)
I need to limit the speed of WIFI that is usable on the handsets as the kids waste the data watching Youtube in 1080p all the time. (so other apps too)
The modem is useless in setting QoS or Traffic Shapping, it cant be done.
Easy option is to change the WIFIs 802.11 to b or g and then the WIFI is only putting out to the devices about 7mbps-15mbps or there abouts rather than the much higher speeds n will provide.
Issues when using b or g is that the Samsung TV and the wifes iPhone will also be restricted.
Is there an application that will restrict WIFI download bandwidth directly on the devices either via a firewall or a WIFI manager app?
All I have been able to find is firewalls that allow or stop internet traffic, or WIFI managers that restrict uploads or tethering.
Can someone suggest any apps that can rate limit the WIFI on the device directly?
Or, is there a Youtube app that you can set the default playback resolution to something low (the official youtube app always goes 1080p via my WIFI)
Thank you
NVM - I have now found OGYouTube - this appears to be working fine, can limit both mobile and WIFI data by default - set to 360p (will use 240p if im feeling real harsh)
