with the unlimited plan at tmobile, they give you a max of 3gb for tethering(unless you buy more). do you have root or are you stock?

if you have root, theres an app called wifi tether router that when you use, tmobile doesnt know that you are tethering. theres also a system mod that changes some files thatll keep tmobile away as well.

Yeah I'd like to find out the way to use the stock hotspot and not have T-Mobile find out.

then there is a thread here about editing some system file that will help you out. i dont know where it is, so youll have to search(its probably within 4 pages of the n6 general/q&a sections.

That thread was for Verizon. I got it tho. Added "dun" to APN type and I'm good.

Nope turns out you have to modify the build prop as well. I took that last line out and rebooted and I lost tether again. Added it back just now and I got tether back.
So add dun in the APN type and add the no provisioning line to the end off the build prop.

never mind, the line starts with net.tethering. very interesting though.

Needs the two for sure but it does work. I'm currently tethered now posting this.

Thanks, Hopefully I can get this to work on my Nexus 6 for T-Mobile.

1a. Use a VPN on connected devices. 1b. Search xda for an app called dnsqache, and follow the github readme on how to set it up, I will warn you though that your MMS messages might not transmit if you do not have dns2 set as what you get when you run the terminal command "getprop net.dns2" and use a browser with a user agent switcher set to your browser except showing a Linux OS

I've added the net.provision whatever and added ,dun to APN type. Running euphoria and my tethering is working fine
Most important is the build.prop change and adding ,dun to APN type. Then you shouldn't have any problems

So I'm currently having issues trying to enable Wifi tether as well.
I added net.tethering.noprovisioning
And added ,dun to the APN
Im on T mobile and have unlimited data. Rooted and running cyanogenmod on the nexus . Any ideas on what I did wrong?
****edit****
Nvm found issue, wasnt with phone but with computer intel software. All fixed. Thanks for the info!

I was able to work around the issue by modifying the following sqlite database (you'll need root):
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You need to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.
It looks like you need to do this because some configuration data was added to Android for T-mobile that forwards tethered data to this APN: pcweb.tmobile.com
T-mobile is probably checking to see if your account has tethering enabled when you go through this APN.
After I made this change I also needed to change my APN settings so that it uses ipv4 instead of ipv6. It seems like tethering with ipv6 does not work 100% yet.

That's correct I used SQLite editor because I'm lazy sometimes and its easy when you flash a fresh ROM. I have a screenshot below of what it looks like.
I also added " ,dun " to the end of my APN type in the APN settings. No issues so far.

Internet Tethering - US

This is a thread for those of you who want to discuss anything to do with getting internet Bluetooth tethering up and running on US model phones
You'll probably get more help posting in your device thread, but others may still be able to help you here
In short, most (if not all?) US providers remove internet tethering from their roms. Even if you add the option into settings, you may still need to apply for a special tethering option through your provider
Unsupported roms:
Darth Stalker
Supported roms:
International T-Mobile
Lion Rom 4.3 (International) (Note 2)
Verizon Note 3
Echo international (Tmobile Note 3)
Note 3 International

Did DragonsAir v3 not work for you? Stainless and DragonsAir are the only ones I know for sure work on T-Mobile USA Note 3. Both have bluetooth tethering enabled and both are based on international stock.
I have an att variant s4 and am looking g for a bluetooth package similar to the t mobile version linked in one of those threads that would work with rooted stock mj9 4.3
Thanks all in advance.

Brendo, thank you for starting this thread. I just got the 4.3 update for my T-Mobile GS4 and was disappointed that it still lacks the bluetooth tether functionality. After searching across T-Mobile forums for a fix, I've only seen the workaround link you posted for the Note 3.
Anyone know if there are specific files from that fix that could also be used to work with the T-Mobile GS4?
Ok good news, I just installed this Rom on my T-Mobile Note 3 and bluetooth tether is working great. I will update with anything else I find

DragonsAir worked, but I did not like the theme. I liked some of the theme but not all. and could not figure out how to revert parts of it back to stock, or another theme. They all seem to be all or nothing and since I don't know where item's are stored i just decided not to have any theme.

I've found out my issue with the Note 2 and Galaxy Gear not tethering correctly on bluetooth. I can share the connection if I am connected to WiFi on the Note 2 and sharing it but when I step out of range or move to mobile data in any way I can no longer tether (even though the devices say they are shared and paired together as tethering)
Any others know a solution to this problem??

How-To Adblock Without Rooting (mobile data adblock working)

I didn't see this readily available and with many people not wanting to root and trip their Knox counter, I thought I'd show you how to get adblocking without root. This will work on both wifi and mobile data.
--First step would be to install Adblock Plus APK. I got mine from: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
--After installing, run the app once and activate filtering. It should now be blocking all ads on wifi only. To enable adblock on mobile data you need to add a proxy to your APN.
--Go to system settings>network connections>more networks>mobile networks>access point names. What you need to do now is go to you default APN and copy down all the settings. We only do this because you cannot edit the original APN it seems. Now create a new APN and enter in the copied settings. The only additional settings you add to add to the new APN is:
---Proxy: localhost
---Port: 2020
Make sure you set the new APN you created as active and adblocking should be working! I have done this on my T-mobile S5. Hopefully some of you will find this useful.
I can confirm this works, just tested it several times. Thanks!
Gonna give this a test.

I had to modify my proxy for wifi and the app seems to be working (I need to find something that has ads, ha)...but I'm unable to modify my AP on my sprint s5.

Hi guys,
Sometime Adblock Plus crash... quite annoying.
I've decided to root mostly for AdAway ...
it works well on tmobile croatia , just added new apn
Thanks for this, it works, but have to manually add proxy and port to every single wlan network.
It is working for me.
It doesn't seem to work with Verizon phones. Anyone no verizon get this to work? Apparently you can't even create new APN's on verizons s5
Works great. Thanks so much!!!!!!
Works!
And we have to do this settings in every wifi network or just once ?
Thanks
Followed instructions exactly. Filtering says enabled, new APN selected. Still not working for me. AT&T variant S5.

[Q] Having Problems With Tethering/Hotspot

Ok, Like so many other people, I want to be able to use my Hotspot but I don't want to get throttled after my 5gb allotment.
I've tried DARTHSTALKER, Skyfall 1.2, Hyperdrive, and Firekatv10 roms...all of which say that they have unlimited tether baked in. I've also tried Pdanet+, Foxfi, and Wifi Tether Router. I've also tried flashing "[MOD] Unrestricted Tethering NJ7" over every one of those roms plus a stock rooted rom.
Every single thing I've tried has made my mobile data counter go up.
I've searched, and researched and tried so many settings tweaks and variations. Nothing works.
People out there are saying that they've got it working and have no issues.
So maybe I'm just missing something.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

Get yourself an app called SQL Lite Editor, and navigate to the following database:

Insert the following:
tethering_dun_required
value=0
Save and reboot.
In your APN settings, make sure you are set to IPv4.
In the event SQL Lite Editor won't allow you to save the settings (depending on what ROM you're running), you will need to find the following 2 apps to add the line:

I'm downloading DK 4.1 Now. If that doesn't fix the problem, I will try this. I'll let you know.
Thanks!

Get yourself an app called SQL Lite Editor, and navigate to the following database:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
settings.db
(global)
Insert the following:
tethering_dun_required
value=0
Save and reboot.
In your APN settings, make sure you are set to IPv4.
In the event SQL Lite Editor won't allow you to save the settings (depending on what ROM you're running), you will need to find the following 2 apps to add the line:

Downloaded several SQL Editors. One said I had no root access (I do). Others wouldn't navigate to the database at all. Some just force closed when I got to where I wanted to be.
Sweet, if the DK 4.1 ROM works for you then I'll give it a shot as well.

What if your value is already set on 0 and running ipv4 and still pops up the T-Mobile up sell page

Ok...even aShell with aSQLiteManager says no root access when I click on /data. I've got to go to work. But I'll keep up with this while I'm there.

DK 4.1 did not work for me. Still made my Hotspot Data go up. Like I've said...I think I'm missing something. Editing the database might be what I'm missing...but I can't get that to work either.

The option to "enable root" is within that app, as it won't detect root automatically.

Unlimited hotspot tethering on sprint samsung galaxy s7

A alternate way of unlocking your hotspot on your galaxys7 without the need of root:good:
You are going to need the MSL code for you phone
Which can be obtained by calling customer service and asking them (this is the way i did it) or just go to you nearest sprint shop and ask them for the code.
(If they ask why you want the code, just say its for your personal info or interest)
Once you have your code, go to your phone dialer and dial the following: ##3282#
Than you will prompted to write your MSL code
After typing your code, you will be presented to a menu, on that menu you are going to search for "APN SETTINGS" than you are going to search for APN2 EHRPD Internet APN2 LTE internet, and on both you are going to search for the following: "default,mms"
And once you found the "default,mms", you are going to edit it to : default,mms,dun (just add: ",dun" at the end).
Once you have finished editing, just reboot your phone
And you just unlocked unlimited hotspot and tethering

On the new updates the APNs are grayed out and you can not edit them
So root is option.

Unless there is a update that im not aware of, and cuases the APN to be grayed out. Then that explains your situation to be correct
Im on 6.0.1
What update you on?

Really thats wierd , because yesterday i called customer service for my msl, and than i proceeded to unlock the hotspot without no problem.
Also before i did recieve my msl code, i did try to unlock the hotspot feature just using SHORTCUT MASTER, but couldn't becuase it was grayedout and unable to be interactive.
But when i tryed using the methods that sprint technicians use (the msl code method) i was able to unlock the feature.

Thanks, looks like my settings are grayed out.. I imagine being on the latest build, its not going to work.
Just search lte and it will come up man. It won't be grayed out

Here is the screenshot
Well **** didn't know that. What version are you running with U firmware
PG1 ..most recent
Shortcutmaster is easy, just type "Apn" in th he search engine, than look in the options that it provides you, tap on the apn option that end in the word settings ( ex. Apn................settings). And than you will be prompted to press " launch" (it a menu bar that says: launch,home,ect.) After that its the same procedure as if using a msl code
The only down fall to this, is that you need root for it to work ( to ungray the options need to fix). The things needed to unlock the apn's grayed.
But if it works for you without encountering any problems just share the info with others
Even the msl code method is showing up to some people grayed.
I tryed using both method on my fathers s7, and i encounterd this issue.
My guess is that it has to be with something with the build or serial number or some thing distinguish them from each other. Cuz for some it both methods work, but for others they need root to acomplish this.

Yo its true what you where saying about the apns being grayed out.
My guess is that its not in all samsung s7.
That's apparently sprint catching wind and doing something. Glad I don't take updates with new phones like that

TMobile visual voicemail

Not sure if it was my imagination or not, but when I was first setting up the phone (tmo version) I noticed two visual voicemail apps open. Has this device got it's own visual voicemail?

Not your imagination, I had it also, that's until I reset my phone and then I lost the native visual voicemail accessible from the phone dialer.

Mine disappeared after a reset. The button now just dials the voicemail number.
Also, you might want to test that your voicemails will show up there, because mine never did.

It does show up for me. I actually deleted 3 before I took that screenshot. Some people also had that problem with the S8/S8+ but it works on my S8+ too

What is the verdict here? I have the T-Mobile Note 8 and when I use the dialer to access voicemail it just calls. When I go into settings there is a greyed out "Voicemail Settings" that I cannot access. All I'm looking for is integrated Visual Voicemail, I never liked having another app.
This is getting really weird. I deleted T Mobile visual voicemail but now I don't have any visual voicemail lol

I am in the same boat. Super frustrating. I'm on the phone with T-Mobile now and they have a Samsung Representative on the line. Waiting to see if they can give me any info. I'm going to try hard resetting the phone if they can't come up with a solution and just never set up T-Mobile VVM.
Edit* T-Mobile and Samsung were obviously no help whatsoever. I spent 30 minutes on the phone and they transferred me without asking to a "Samsung Support Specialist" who told me they transferred me to him for "further clarification on the issue" all he told me was "Samsung has nothing to do with voicemail that's a carrier issue" Thanks for wasting my time. So tired of this carrier specific BS.

Sorry to hear about that. Frustrating to say the least.
I'm trying to remember how I setup my Note 8 and wife's initially. As I don't think she had that dual visual voicemail notifications like I did.
Memory is vague, but one of devices was setup with no sim card present during initial setup screens.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Just an observation, could it be possible that the T Mobile version like ours has the visual voicemail baked in?
Just took another look and posted the following. It doesn't show my old stored voicemail messages. screenshot.

Ok well I had a reddit post as well and I've gotten a little closer but still have not figured it out.
"The following only works with Nova Launcher"
What a user recommend I do is press and hold on the home screen -> add a widget -> under Nova Launcher go to activities -> drag and drop activities on the home screen -> then search for visual voicemail at the bottom.
Now I have a shortcut on the home screen to the baked in Visual Voice Mail (I currently do not have the T-Mobile one installed and I just performed a hard reset) the issue is now when I go to settings in the integrated VVM is there is an option to enable VVM and it says "Select a Line" and there is no number to select. I'll upload the photos.

I replied to another user right below yours. It does appear it's baked in. There's a way with Nova Launcher to create a shortcut for it. My issue is I still cannot get it working.

You also have to enable multi Line settings on the phone, that will get it working.

I actually figured it out Saturday night but thanks. The trick was to enable digits via the web and select the unlock option for my line. Then I was able to get the multi line option working. After setting it up, I was able to sign out of multi line and still receive native vvm. (I signed out due to it showing multi line options everywhere.)
So to everyone who hates seeing multi line options everywhere, you can sign out after setup. What really bugged me about it was in messages with my wife, it listed her device model which took up a line for each message in our thread. Signing out of multi line fixed it for me.
