I tried the Sprint lg g4 mobile hotspot hack, its working but Sprint still sees my data usage which i used 90% already! Is there a way for Sprint not to see my usage? My firmware is zv6 please need help with this
If you root you can use WIFI Tether Router. That is why I never liked this method. But I don't think you will get flagged. Just don't abuse it.
By the way USB Tether works great and is legit. Bluetooth works too but pretty slow.
To clarify the question: are you trying to get unlimited data, as in you don't want Sprint to know how much data you are using on your plan, so you can just pay for 1 GB but have unlimited use?

That's not how it works. This allows you data through your phone up to your cap (then you hit overages). You have to be on an unlimited plan to get unlimited data.

There is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, ZERO way for you to hide your data usage from Sprint.
So long as a device on your account is registering to their network and requesting bandwidth, they're going to know who requested it.
If there were a way to use the network without registering your device, I can almost guarantee you that you wouldn't find the method on these forums. I'm on quite a few forums for reverse engineering, etc and just like with major holes that allow you to activate expensive software without paying for it, the method to do so would be kept a closely guarded secret in Elite forums where you'd have to prove yourself by being in VIP forums and not leaking anything, for a long time or be responsible for discovering hacks/exploits/etc.
When stuff like that is discovered, the more people know and exploit it, the more risky it is that Sprint will notice and patch the hole, or someone will tell a friend that's got a big damn mouth and next thing you know it's all over public forums like these and sprint pushes a network hot fix in less time than it takes the initial thread to have a second page of replies.

I recently got my Atrix HD, upgrading from a Motorola Milestone. I decided to go to at&t and get a micro SIM card, keep in mind I have an unlimited data plan that I've had in 2008 for a non-smartphone which worked perfectly on my Milestone. I get signal and it even says "4G", but there's no connection. Is there any way to get it? I can't live off WiFi everywhere. Can anyone help?

Looks like you need to enable data.

I was in a similar situation to you. I had to update my dataplan to an LTE plan with AT&T before data worked. I was able to retain unlimited as well.
The plan is called "Data Unlimited for LTE Personal Add-On"

This. You won't get data until you switch to the LTE version. You should be able to keep your unlimited pretty easily.

The two posts above are correct. I'd go in store to do it though. Don't want to risk losing unlimited. LTE is blazing fast and even though I'm throttled at the moment my speeds are similar to what I was getting pre-LTE.

I actually choose not to use LTE. I get better coverage on HSDPA/HSPAP as it is and the only thing I can't do is enable videos to be played in HD via YouTube. That's what my TV and wifi are for lol.

At first I couldn't figure it out why I never got 4g signal since I started using Atrix HD. After I changed APN from ATT WAP to ATT LTE, finally I got 4g signal though it's weak.
Good afternoon,
I have had my motorola droid turbo for approximately two weeks now and noticed for the first time today that while trying to make a phone call I'm unable to use mobile data even over my wifi. Is this something that is still coming down the pipe for droid users? I seem to have run all of the updates possible that are available from Motorola as well as Android. I am Not Yet on lollipop so unable to test that.
Thank you for your assistance.

if you read through this forum you will know that u need to activate advance calling via settings on phone and also on the verizon website.
It is concerning that you don't even get data when connected to Wi-Fi. That should work out of the box.
Mine says upgrade to advance calling but is grayed out and can't click it, could this be because I disabled all Verizon's apps. Also does this upgrade mean that it costs more to use.

It is clear in the advanced calling faq from verizon that it does not.
If its greyed out, you didnt enable it on your account. I know this because you would have answered your own question regarding cost. This is a required step and even mentioned in this thread.
Come on guys, put in a little effort towards this.
I can read so no need for your comment at the end of your post if you would of read what I wrote you would see I said I disabled all Verizon's apps, and maybe that is why it was grayed out once I re enabled the apps that fixed the problem not because I had to go on there site to get it to work once it was enabled that page came up to sign up for it. Thank you.

No disabled verizon app is doing this. That is why i did not address it.
I didnt mean to be rude but you asked about cost.
The very page you add it with answers this.

It doesnt sound like you read it, much less added it judging from your post. If you did, my apologies.
I have enabled tethering on my Nexus 6 on the Verizon network. I remember that with phones that had Verizon firmware there was also a build.prop edit to change a tethering provision from 1 to 0. I believe this blocked Verizon from checking if you were tethering your data. Is this needed in the N6? I dont see that same line in the build.prop on the N6. Can Verizon see that I am tethering with my unlimited data? Its not part of my plan. Thanks.
I see something written about changing a line in com.android.provider.settings under data/data however this XML file is empty , 0 bytes, on the Nexus 6 it appears.
After update any buildprop edits will be gone I think this might have been the one: net.tethering.noprivisioning=true
If by our rooted just out this at the end of your buildprop with an editor

I have done this and it tethers fine. My question is whether Verizon can see that you are tethering with your data? I don't have tethering in my plan.

Haha for some reason when I read "not part of your plan" I thought what you planned to do-along those lines (facepalm). I'm not sure what they can see in that regard.

Don't think it really matters. We been doing 30-100 GB/Month for years on Grandfathered plan. Even the app is a skin over the actual code.They are using Android native code for the tether. We are just hacking it back. That is why it so easy to get by. Don't think there a tether flag. Flag is amount of data used.
It's doubtful. Mine shows up as video.

No one has one from Verizon yet, but you can root it by fastboot OEM unlock, flash TWRP, and flash SuperSU. It will be just like any other Nexus from everything that I've read. There is not a separate Verizon model.

Yup. Misspelling on my part...doh
didn't work on xtrasmooth ROM.
Looking to get rid of satellite internet since T-Mobile has very strong LTE access at my house.
Does anyone use a Nexus 6 as their home internet gateway? I have 2 desktops and a laptop that I would be connecting to it. As well as a Google Chromebox.
If you do use it for your home internet, I know you can edit the sqlite code to not use the tethered data.... and take advantage of the unlimited plan.
The question I have is if you use this method, are you happy with it?
I have a truly unlimited plan from Verizon and usually do my gaming from my phone so my other devices don't take bandwidth and I don't lag. I also have a verizon MiFi to watch Netflix and for the tablets and laptops around the house .
I don't have issue with it I just don't think T Mobile really has "unlimited" they will throttle you.
But to me using my phone is no different than using the MiFi. I would much rather have high speed internet at my house but that's not going to happen anytime in the near future unfortunately.

well crap.
how much internet do you use would you say on your laptops and everything? I do have a satellite with a 25gb cap possibly getting installed tomorrow.
Honestly no idea because it's a business account that my work pays for and it's unlimited I don't have access to what it's using it doesn't show it on the device.
But I have burned over 40 gigs on my verizon account this month via the phone.

I'm having very slow wifi and data on my ATT S6 Edge. Its only about 13 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. My wifi does 50 Mbps down but should be about double that.
My previous phone, the LG G2 D800 was getting about 70 Mbps down on data in the same area. Just wondering of any of you are having the same problems. If its just me, it might be a hardware issue - have to return it
Thanks

You should also add one or two more options like "no issue" and possibly "best wifi performance yet".
FYI, I have no issues.

Make sure no other apps are running in the background. Also side no for bloat ware. do you have anything disable that could be the culprit? Also it can be based on the network itself I recommend trying to run the test at night so no body in your block using up the line. As for mobile data have you,checked if you'really provision properly sometimes att causes issues like that so it is best to check if they got you provisioned on the correct device.
