So i did a test using pdanet+ on my galaxy s7 (MetroPCS unrooted) and wanted to check if it actually hides my data usage for that unlimited tether. But it does not work at all! I checked the MetroPCS website and it shows me using data.... is there a step I'm missing to this? Assistance is greatly needed!

Hi guys
I have an itzi-bitzi problem.
Turns out that i don't have a data plan...
I found this out when receiving my monthly bill (300$, ouch!)
Is there a way to enable data access only when connected by WiFi?
and completely disable it while not?
I couldn't find anything on that matter, so i could use some help making it happen.
thanks
Remove APNs: Settings | Wireless Controls | Mobile networks | Access Point Names
thanks, you saved me $$$
You can use this app to make the process of switching APN on/off a lot easier.

brilliant, just what I need!
I really only wanted to use the phone for wifi access, i dont need the phone connecting 'behind my back'.
Thanks again
Has anyone been able to tether from this phone without using the data from the tethering bucket?
In other words, Were you able to tether from it and use the data from the data bucket?
I have unlimited data with 3gb of tether. I would use the data from my unlimited data bucket to tether.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
You can use easytether however the full version is a paid app...this is confirmed to work with my older t-mobile grandfathered account which has unlimited 3g/h+ and no hotspot/tethering. It requires running an app on the pc side since it uses adb to build the connection. (usb and under windows also bluetooth).
Were you able to create a new APN by clicking on the + sign in the "tethering and hotspot" section?
You can just use the official lollipop tether. Doesn't count towards t-mobile tether data usage. Pulled down 25 gigs yesterday with no issues

I'm on an AT&T grandfathered unlimited plan. Is there any way for me to hide the fact that I am tethering from AT&T?
I have altered my build prop to allow me to enable the tethering feature in rooted stock Oreo.
I have read that using a VPN on the client machine (my laptop) will prevent AT&T from recognizing that I am tethering, but I cannot confirm this.
Any wisdom from the XDA gurus would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I'm using my safelink wireless simcard in my AT&T note 8 phone. When I try to turn on the hotspot I get the message saying "mobile hotspot unavailable. You need a data plan on att network ect...." Clearly I'm not able to contact att to add a data plan when I dont have service with them in the first place. The only wat I can tether is using my pdanet app. I want to use the mobile hotspot icon? Can any1 help me please?
Yes, my friend had problem with hotspot on unlocked att but could not find the solution
Package Disabler Pro is $3 but after removing bloatware I am able to use hotspot on Cricket.
I was able to root my Moto G Stylus 5G. i try to edit build.prop no success. so, i unable to find good way to by pass att or cricket tethering check beside using sharenet or pdanet+. any roms out there allow me to use free tethering?
Your trying to just bypass the provisioning check so you can enable tethering when it's not available on your account/byod? Or are you trying to have your traffic not count as tethered to bypass account limits? Is this an ATT/Cricket phone, or one with an unlocked bootloader/Magisk?
