Hello,
I looked around for an answer to this question but most of the threads are a couple years old. I have a Tilt on ATT and I'm looking to get data for my laptop for occasional use, but I don't want to pay the $60 to get either a laptop card or tethering and then be capped at 5 GB of data.
If I get the $30 unlimited data plan, can I use Internet Connection Sharing or whatever its called on the phone to tether to my laptop? Do people get monitored doing this, and if so, what is the penalty?
I don't plan on using it excessively so I shouldn't go past the 5 GB anyway.
Thanks in advance.
So, the consent here seems to be that they don't notice unless you go over a certain amount. Obviously, there is a risk as you are going to be breaking the contract, but I have never had any trouble. The stock rom deletes the link to ICS, so you would have to use file explorer to dig it up.
I've used over a 100 MB of data this way and nothing happened lol
Thanks this post reminded me to pay my monthly statement

I've used it heavily actually, though I try not to go too overboard. I've used it on my car computer(streetdeck2) to download map data on trips and tethered my personal computer while on the road. I've never had any problems, yet.....
ive had the media max200 unlimited package the lowest cost unlimited data plan that ive had for years since it was cingular and at one point it was my sole internet connection and i would use it every day all day and neither cingular nor att has ever made an issue about my data usage. if i were you i would just go online and add the lowest price unlimited data plan rather than having someone from att add it, otherwise theyll charge you more for the same **** depending on your phone. data is data and they dont know what phone youre using.
Tilt Tethering
My understanding is that AT&T has disabled the "Internet Sharing" application when it tries to connect your computer to the internet if you do not have the appropriate data plan (that includes tethering). It used to work, but with 6.1 it no longer successfully connects your computer to the internet while tethered.

that's not true. I've used the Internet Sharing app and it works fine for 6.1. I have mediamax 200 also.

Agreed.
I believe there was initial concern with 6.1 that the new OS could actually report this information back to the service provider, but nothing ever came of it.
Go with the cheep one, unless your going to be downloading movies all the time or tryin to watch 480p hulu then you should be fine.
i have used my phone to watch hulu on skyfire for about 2 hrs almost every day along with checking my email every 15 min and general surfing and google maps and only hit 2gigs of data.
I have one of my best friends who, works for ATT, told me they only monitor data usage, not the source.

Hi guys/gals I had a question about the PDA plan vs the MEdia Unlimited package which AT&T offers.. I called ATT and inquired about getting the Media Net unlimited package for the tilt instead of the PDA plan which was $30 bucks compared to $15... however the rep said that the Media net bundle won't work for the Tilt and you HAVE to get the PDA plan.. I was like well i have a 5.0 mb plan and it still works with the tilt.. and he said that well eventually you won't be able the use the internet once our system recognizes that you have a PDA phone... my friend though has a tilt and he went into a ATT store and the guy said he can get the Media unlimited bundle and should be fine.. hes been on that plan for only 3 weeks and hasn't got his bill yet but I was reading online that people with the Media bundle with a PDA phone were actually getting charged for internet minutes with a bill over a grand?!!? Can someone please help clarify the plans? Do I need that PDA plan with ATT or will I been fine with the media net package? Any ways around it like unlocking the Tilt? Thanks!
you have 2 options..
1. do what your friend did..if it works.. it works and you should never get charged unless you go over the 5 gig limit of bandwidth (tethering)
2. get another phones imei and call att and change your phone to that imei and then call back or go online and switch it the medianet. And the bandwidth limit goes for this too.
The ONLY thing that pda connect plan gives you is VPN which utlizes the isp.cingular ipn...
Hmm this is very interesting, i to want to get a data plan..but at $30/month that is alot of money for a college student paying his own way. $15/month is very tempting....
I had a cingular 2125 (HTC Tornado) with unlimited media net before upgrading to the Tilt, and I did NOT need to upgrade my data plan.
i actualy work for att credits and activations...
they will not allow you.. system wont allow you... to add media net unl to any tilt/kaiser..
that feat. is for phones without heavy internet capabilities such as the razr or chocolate or something.. doesnt even show up in the avail feat...
if you think that you are still on media net, but have upgraded.. i would watch out there could possibly be unexpected charges coming your way
... i do believe that they have a cheaper plan then the 30 dollar one which is like 10mb or some crap .. but to be honest ive never heard of anyone ever getting that
I have unlimited media net on my Tilt. Have had it for a while. As long as you use wap.cingular instead of isp.cingular, you aren't charged but for the monthly of media.net.
It works great. In this area 50$ per month is the pda plan and not worth it as there is no 3G... grrr. so 20$ for unlimited and 200 txt (Media max 200 bundle) works great for me.
the only pda personal that is 50 dollars includes unlimited txt..
as far as i know media net is not avail on tilt.. i could be wrong.
i know 100% that if you call my center asking for media net on a tilt you will be denied..
the only thing i can think of is that maybe the media net can be added in an area not running on 3g.. doubtful but possible i suppose..
just because your phone is saying connecting to media net does not mean that is the function pushing your internet.. positive of this

ive been using it on my Tilt for about a year. I just never called AT&T for service and/or took it into a store for any service issues, so I dont beleive they ever caught on.
What pisses me off is that the same internet plan for smartphones without touch screens is half the price. That's the main differance, the touch screen. If I had a smartphone running windows that doesnt have a touch screen, I would still use the net just as much, and I would tether it to my PC just as often, so that shouldnt really be a determining factor in the pricing IMO.

Yep, you are 100% wrong, Both care and telegence let you ad whatever feature you want to a pda, even if the imei is for a pda. Now wanna ask me who I work for. Furtermore if a rep from the callcenter add's pda unlim and takes media net off, WITHOUT telling th customer, that my friend is really bad for employee and 100% good for the customer. You will get credited out the ass.
And if any of my friends EVER has this happen to them, PM me, and ill bet the call center associate does not have a job within 2 days after me finding out about it.
Also AT&T does not look at data usage on media net side, so if you are using a kaiser/tilt with media net have fun.
P.S. Media net on a tilt works fine in a 3g area

Uhhhh.... So by using that logic, I can use a Razr to tether my laptop and surf away on the MediaNet plan?
BTW, MediaNet works fine on the Tilt...3G too...

isp.cingular question
I have 1 question i have the $30 PDA personal plan. I flashed my phone to hyperdragon III. I internet works fine. But I noticed that When I have to do anything that involves GPS it tries to connect to isp.cingular. It alswayz says can't connect. does n e 1 know y? what is isp.cingular for? do I even need that? or can I just delete the settings?

ISP is faster connection, you can only use this if you have the 30$ pda feature. Not much faster than media net.
Only do this if you want to only use isp.
the third "also try" is were you would select your default data connection, you could just eneble media net and that should eliminate your situation.
Go to start>settings>Connections>Manage existing connections>Proxy settings>click the first box uncheck the second.
Also try
start>settings>advanced network>Gprs>select pap authentication.
also try
start>settings>connections>advanced>select networks>change it from media net to my isp.
Also your profile says you are with t-mobile, if this is true you are on the wrong settings all together.

you obviously don't work for att as a representative, but as a dealer.. that would explain why you are so arrogantly wrong.. i wish you would call me asking for media net on tilt..not only would i laugh at you for your persistence but then i would laugh at you after you tried to escalate the call and failed.. and just the mere fact that you are saying that att would credit you for anything like that just makes me realize how very little you know.. i mean that is hilarious but still ridiculous .. att isn't going to credit anything.. unless you got pda personal on a plan that doesn't take THAT particular option.. ergo.. if you got pda pers. on a tilt, and your like well i want to be reimbursed for the extra 15 a month...yea right.. but again.. that's not even a possibility as phones that don't take pda WILL NOT list it in Care or Telegence.. and for KD8 that works in reverse for phones with media net also.. unless specified i promise an att reps will add pda personal unless other wise instructed by the dealer.. and even then .. try asking for media net on that phone..
hahah and dont even get me started on att giving out credits.. lmfao.. you are out of your mind
the fact that you think you can take someones job by not getting the right data plan shows how little you know... like your the ceo of att or something.. i am almost positive you are a dealer.. ask me how i think i know that???
but getting past all of that.. i will post the data features avail for tilt to customers per CSP, unless KD8 thinks that he can get to that first??
waxfondlr said:
personaly i dont care who you work for .. altho i am guessing customer care.. but my thoughts on those idiots belongs in a different thread..
its not like i am scared to tell people that they cannot have the media net option on their account with a tilt.. i will tell them that all day long laughing
i honestly dont care if you believe me or not.. i mean if you can get your net working for 15 dollars then kudos to you.. i can get free wifi all day long and not pay a penny ..thats where you should be focusing your attention
but beyond that i just wish you would call me for an update i would remove that feature in a new york minute..
additionally.. i will post some csp articles for your viewing pleasure with all available rate plans for the tilt..
Ps, I dont talk on the phone all day. I drive around from state to state in a bug SUV that says AT&T, i got a bunch of big ol antennas on it. So when I tell someone how media net .vs isp works i know for a fact, you CAN hide it from att. And I have also explained in great depth on this board how to do so.
lmfao.. your talking about credits and ****.. you obviously are a dealer and not a represenative...hahahah ATT and Credits..that is a good one
you must be talking about prepaid

Hey all!
Ok so i have rooted the rogers dream to i could tether the phone to my PC. now i have done this i cant see to tether, i have tried 2 different apps (code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and tetherWifi)
I dont seem to get an error message from the first tether program but the second seems to say "error: su: access granted"
Is there some way that maybe the app has not been given super user access?
Thanks!
Any help would be amazing
I am pretty sure to tether you have to call into Rogers and get tetheing activated first. I know for the iphone you have to do this. It should be the same deal with the Dream.

WHAT?????? Are you serious, thats the worst advice ever. You don't call them up to have it activated. I'm sure Rogers is like T-mobile and frown upon tethering cause it hogs up bandwidth.
Yea and while your at it tell them you rooted your phone. Tethering involves 0 help from your carrier, all your doing is sharing the connection from your phone so if it's not working something isn't setup right.
Also since bad advice is being given out. Go ahead and flash the new spl with the old radio. I heard that turns your phone into something cool.
Ya i know it sounds wierd but i guess there allowing it to sell larger data plans or soemthing.
I double checked on the Rogers site it says you have to have a minimum 1GB data plan to do tethering.
Thats why i thought you have to call in because the iphone prompted me to call in when i was trying to do it with a 512 MB data plan.
Scroll down to the bottom and you will find the tethering FAQ this page is for the iphone but i'm sure same rules apply to the Dream

@Phantom - Dude really just STFU.
@tiptop33 - Make sure you are rooted and that you have USB Debugging turned on. Without USB Debugging the SU app will sometimes timeout.

Well... I migrated to a Nexus One from an iPhone 3GS and have used a significantly larger amount of data. Anyone else seen anything similar? Does the iPhone go through proxies that compress data that much before sending it to the phone? ...or am I just using the NexusOne A LOT more?

I got my N1 on May 30 or 31...
The N1 multi-tasks (running processes may be transmitting/downloading data), pushes e-mail, and has widgets (periodically update).
Oh yeah... good point! Another thing I thought about, the N1 has a file manager and I have been pretty much downloading anything I want off the internet, where I couldn't do that with the iPhone.
I find that the N1 is much more capable of true PC tasks than the iPhone. I think Google should create an iPad-like device based off the Nexus One, I could actually see one of those replacing a laptop, where as I could never replace my laptop with an iPad...
data
my usage is about the same, averaging around 4-7gbs a month. Dont have internet service at home, and do use it as a hotspot. Works pretty well for the most part, 3g service is pretty solid and decent speeds for emails and reading the paper. Plus download new roms, probably my biggest data hog
Yeah... I very rarely use mine as a hotspot...
My usage was about that high my first month tethered for maybe ten minutes or so doing work email. Recent months have been significantly lower,closer to yourold average. You're right about being able to do more though and I think that's a big factor.
I went from under 1 gb a month to nearly 3 gb the first month I had my Nexus One. I think a lot of it was google listen..

Not at all. It's a direct line, well as direct as it gets when your IP address changes every time you open the browser.
This thread definitely makes me feel better. I'll be switching to an iPhone 4 in the next few weeks (flame all you want) and my data usage with my N1 (with mild tethering at times) has peaked at about 1.5 GB, so if it'll be less with an iPhone then there's no way I can see myself running over the 2 GB plan.
On topic, I honestly am very surprised I use as much data as I do with my Nexus One, as I mostly browse the web or use Wapedia, sometimes I'll browse Facebook, and I use it to play MP3s in my car which scrobble to Last.fm. Once in a blue moon I'll tether with it so I can download drivers and such for a customer (I run a computer repair business) but always well under 200 MB. How that all added up to 1.5 GB is certainly beyond me...
bit off topic but how do you find out your monthly data usage on Tmoblie, its not on my bill and I cant find it anywhere?
Wow, I'm glad I keep WIFI on all the time. That could be me.
my data usage definitely increased with the nexus. and not just from more usage, but andoid OS uses more data in general. lots of behind the scenes data packets being sent, google servers, gmail, live widgets, etc. android uses a good amount of data.
FLASH!

I dont know what limits you have on your "unlimited" data packages but what I have is packages per 100KB in/out (every provider has it different)
So I pay for every started 100KB package - 1 for received, 1 for send. So i.e when I check weather I send 1KB and receive 5KB but I pay for 200KB.
And it was not a problem when I was using iPhone as it was maintaining session ALL day long and at midnight it was resetted and new session was opened. In other words if one day I did 1000 internet connections 10KB each I would use 10MB - it was iPhone.
Nexus one is not maintaining one session as he is opening new session for every internet connection so now the same 1000 connections 10KB each would be counted as 1000 connections per 100KB (becasue smallest package is 100KB) so I would pay for 100MB (10 times more!!).
You can check it on your billing - when I had iPhone there was one session line per day, when I switched to Nexus1 I have A LOT of sessions line every day...
Not sure if this is you case but could be useful.
Well, since iPhones now can no longer get signal if you, you know, HOLD them (and to think, we complained about the Nexus and its 3G!), iPhone data usage should be much lower.
Here is a link from Gizmodo France that really shows what is what...

The data on my bill shows up as a lump sum each day (ocassionaly twice a day)... It looks like my N1 is running all day sessions as well.
I installed the wireless tethering app today and decided to play with it for the heck of it, I was able to set it up, and when I went to my laptop and hit refresh I was able to see the network, I then tried to connect and it would not connect, as it said something about a 13 key ascii so I checked to see and checked the password and still could not connect got the same error message, I then decided to disable the encryption and then refresh the network and tried to connect again, I was able to connect but was not able to open a page up, now I don't know if that was because my reception was not great but still would not open a web page, any suggestions, another note, it rebooted the phone about 3 times and froze the phone once, I am on the AOSP Mod ROM V 0.9.7. just curious if it was with this Rom or the CM6 one, any input would be great, just want it as a backup incase of in a bind.

Hey Don -
There are few issue's Popping up with the .7 build - Didn't see wireless tether as one.
But report it to AOSP -
It worked WONDERFUL on the .6 build
If you have a bad signal, it will affect wireless tether performance. Also, ensure that you have your mobile network on or it will not work.
Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo-on-Hero action here!
Update, I finally got Barnacle to work last night, the set up instructions was missing one specific step, in the custom WiFi AD-hoc, you need to set it to Hero, all worked fine so far, not fast but it work,
Barnacle Wifi Tethering setup for HTC Hero
Barnacle Wifi Tethering setup for HTC Hero WiFi Tethering using Barnacle Android App
1. Download Barnacle from the market and open it.
2. Navigate to Settings and SSID to name your network
3. Then navigate into Wireless Security, then enable WEP and choose a password. 5 to 13 Characters
4. Go into WiFi AD- Hoc and change that to Hero
4. Now go into both Wan and LAN and clear out all information.
5. Hit the back arrow soft key and tap “Start”.
6. Wifi tethering is completed successfully. Enjoy your free WiFi Hotspot!
Now if it does not ask you for a password when you login with your PC, I would suggest to try to set up the network with your PC, and then when you connect with your PC it should login you in with the password

I tried to use Barnacle with my Hero to connect to my GTab but the Hero/Barnacle keeps switching the wifi on and off about every 10 seconds, it shows up on the GTab but cycles back off before the tablet can obtain an ip address. Barnacle crashes my Hero and I have to pull the battery to reboot. I have tried everything but can not get this Hero to act as a hotspot. Barnacle is the closest I've come to actually having a working tether for my tablet. VERY frustrating.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks - Terry
Sprint HTC Hero rooted running CM6.1.0
Viewsonic G Tablet running CM7.0.0 Beta1-Harmony
I use easy tether. I mean it cost like 10 bucks but I've used it for close to a year and its always fast and reliable. Might wanna check it out. And I've used it on every rom I've flashed always works. Just a little info.

.AWAH.
What about Android OS?
I took a look at EasyTether but it uses a client program that you have to install on the tethered machine. ET supports Win, Mac ODx, and Unbuntu or Fedora. No mention of an Android client...
Well you have me puzzled??? Because I use it like at least 4 or 5 times a week??? Even updated my guys desktop with it. Im running CM6.2 187 With dec's # 589/768. I've also used it on a lot of roms. So can you be more specific???? As in no android client. I think you mean like if your running a tablet or no.???

Got it!
Well, all's well that ends well, right?
I found an app named "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and Bingo! It's working. The other apps I tried would crash and burn, the best one was Barnacle but every time I tried to tether it would cycle on and off until it rebooted the phone or locked up. I would get 3 or 4 errors in the log every time. I tried every setting but could not get it to work properly. Finally I came across "WTRU" and it ran with no errors and I was able to connect to my Viewsonic G Tablet, wooo, what a ordeal. The only thing I can figure is there is something goofy with my Hero.
Now if I can figure out how to share my GPS location I can use Google Maps with Navigation on my 10" Tablet!
Thanks for the interest in my problem. - Terry
Hi all - I've searched everywhere but cannot find an answer, would be grateful for any suggestions.
I have a New Zealand Note 9 from 2degrees and since getting it a few weeks ago have been getting a strange sound notification which is somehow related to wifi. It occurs when I come home and when out and about and seems to be due to something like the presence of open wifi connections or maybe something to do with wifi calling. Its an odd sound as well, 4-5 robotic notes and its not one of the notification sounds that you can choose from.
Things I've tried from looking at multiple forums:
NFC and bluetooth off
Accessibility notification off
Reset all notifications settings
The main solution seems I've seen is to turn off the setting "notify me when wifi is available or connected" in the wifi advanced settings, but I do not have this option.

If you go to Apps then click the three dots at the top right hand corner and show system apps. The select "android system". There is plenty of network notification options there to try.

Two things you can do
1. if rooted you can use an xposed module to disable notifications for that
2. other way is you can use app quarantine pro or greenify or some other app to freeze "settings" which blocks the wifi popup, although I'm not sure if that works for your android version but it does work for mine which is kitkat and s5... still might work on new devices
Thanks Limey - had already done that.
Great suggestions zxzxzx......will try those apps and if not successful will root. Was on the fence about rooting but it looks like this may work and the phone is driving me mad.
Also, Pie update is due any day in New Zealand, maybe that will fix it.

Hi all
Thanks again for the suggestions. It's driving me mad and I may well sell the phone and take a hit.
One more clue...it seems to happen a minute or so after I use the phone, turn it off and then start walking around. Don't think it is location services as does it with location off. And don't think it is when it finds open wifi networks as it happens when in the middle of nowhere and no wifi nearby. Happens nearly every time I go from home office to lounge. Happens with BT, NFC, data roaming all off.
Factory reset did not help, happened straight away, even with no new apps installed.
Could it be related to wifi calling somehow? I need this feature though as have little cell coverage at home. No options to change any wifi calling settings though, other than on and off.
