Hi guys, I was using TreveMod on my rooted, stock T-Mobile(US) device. I have everything unlimited plan. After couple days, when I try to connect web pages, it redirects me to T-Mobile Mobile Hotspot page and I can't surf other websites. Is there any workaround for this problem? How can they track I am tethering with different app? Do I need freeze something from stock ROM?
Thanks!
Sorry for bumping a (somewhat) old thread, but have you found a way to bypass this? I'm getting this issue also. I'm on one of the newer "No contract" plans for the unlimited if that helps.

hi everyone. im new to the forums. i just recently traded out my l7 for a tilt. And i love it. the only problem is im not on a great plan. No unlimited internet or text.
So i do most of my browsing using the wifi on the phone online. but ive been wondering if there was a way to disable the phone from actually using the cell phone service to connect to the internet. Id rather just stick to my wifi that i use at home or in other locations. cuz im afraid im going to rack up the phone bill.
if anyone can explain how to do this it would help out alot.
thanks in advance.
disabled internet
what you normally do before asking for help is search the forums. The search string "disable internet" we do the trick.
try it
Might work...
If you don't mess with your settings often, you could simply delete the internet settings. Search as was suggested, but I think settings>connections>connections and deleting those settings should prevent your tilt from connecting. If you never text, ask your carrier to block data access.
NoData
i had the same problem and found that Modaco.com had created some software called Nodata
ths enables you too enable and disable all data connections.
find it here:

hope this helps
i just delete the last letter of the APN so that the device errors out when it tries to use data. will take a look at the modaco.com link thanks for sharing @madgerald
Ok im confused do i get the Hotspot or the BlackBerry Unlimited Add-on for my tilt phone to get the internet to work
Well, since XDA-Developers is NOT your wireless provider, you might want to search.
1.Do you have the feature added to your account?
2.what rom are you using
3.did you search the forum

Bear in mind that each network calls their service something different, what you really want to be asking (I think, based upon your statement) is do I select wifi or GPRS/3g/HSDPA. Wifi (hotspot) coverage isnt really going to help you unless you only want internet connection in certain places.
GPRS/3G/HSDPA is for mobile internet browsing/email retrieval etc, and thats probably more along the lines of what you want.
I am trying to figure out how to make "wireless tethering" between 2 Android phones work. Is it possible? I can't find any info on it.
I have a Captivate with an Unlimited Dataplan and a Captivate without a Dataplan. The one WITHOUT the Dataplan is on AT&T's $50 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web Plan (Prepaid). The Talk and Text work just fine but the internet does not unless I pay for a separate package. I was wanting to use my Rooted Captivated with the Unlimited Dataplan to broadcast my internet over to the other phone when nearby. We don't have Wifi at home. I use the Wireless Tether apk all the time for a laptop, but for some reason the other phone can't see the signal. Any help would be appreciated!
Put a rom that includes mobile ap on the phone with the unlimited data plan, create a hot spot with it, and connect the other phone to it with wifi.
I haven't done any Custom Rom Flashing yet. I was just wondering if it is possible to do it with an App like Wireless Tether apk.
There are instructions on how go fix this around it involves removing tge wirelesstether apk i did it on my stock rom and works great

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me out. the wifi and portable hotspot are not working. The wifi has not been detecting open or locked wifi networks. When I try to create a portable hotspot, the phone displays the word, Error. I have Tmobile and use T-zones for my internet. Currently I am still using the internet but it is being used via USB. I still have and use internet so its not that Tmobile cancelled my internet but its more like something is wrong with the actual phone parts or the software. I have tired flashing other roms but no luck. I am currently using Android 2.3.4 on cyanogenmod 7.1.0-RC1-IncS and also has S-off. The phone is unlocked and rooted. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Try upgrading to cm 7.2.0
APN settings
No idea if this will work for you but it did for me. I am on t-mobile(UK). Wifi and tethering were both working fine for me until I rooted my phone and installed a custom rom. After going through loads of different options, I noticed that the APN had somehow changed when I rooted. (Settings>Wireless&networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names)
For me the correct APN (general.t-mobile.co.uk) became general.t-mobile.uk after I rooted for no known reason. Adding the 'co' resolved the issue and everything started working again.
I would suggest searching the internet for your network's APN settings and having a look at the settings on your IS.
Good luck.
I tried both and none worked. Thanks for the suggestions. Any other ideas anyone?
Any one know if there is a new wifi software update? That or a hotspots update but I think they might be the same.

Hello Everyone.
I am using a VPN and the Wifi Tether Router paid app from the market. I am curious as to how T-mobile still knows I am tethering, as I just got a "You used 80% of your High speed data" text from them (Have unlimited data plan)
Any ideas on how to completely hide? SSL? Proxy? Only seem to have issues with the Playstation and not the PC....
Any help appreciated...
The PS4 data probably shows up different on the network than PC data. I've read that T-Mobile put some new things in place on their end to identify data usage being masked.

I saw similar results. I noticed that when I tether, it doesn't route me through my openVPN connection regardless of the tethering method I use. You can test this on your own, fire up the vpn, then tether to your PC, then go check the external IP on your PC.
You'll most likely need a non-stock ROM for it to work. The ROM probably reports all MACs and the traffic passing through it to T-MO.
