Won't do it with Grandfathered Unlimited Data plans... anyway, by looking at data usage they can see if you are tethering or not no matter what app you use to do it. LOL.
$15 for a feature that's suppose to be free no thanks, I may work for T-Mobile but I'm not paying extra for something thats is a froyo feature by default.

'Can see' and 'will see' are 2 different things my friend
as long as TMO makes a decent buck on the masses, we here in root land should be ok.

Some people are getting Text Messages from T-Mobile stating that they have "some how" picked up that they are tethering via the Google Code, and the native applications and are asking for $15 fee for doing it. there is a thread floating around here somewhere on it.

even though the native Application has a WEP code input option. the Wi-FiTether.apk has a MAC address white listing option along with encryption options so it will only allow certain devices to connect to yours. which i really like. I've been driving down the highway doing 65mph and had people try to connect to my wi-fi that i am letting my wife use for her netbook.
MAC filtering will not allow them to get to the web....
thats my reason for wanting it.
I just use the one built into my phone, they don't charge me and it works great...
Does anyone have the APK of the one that came with the phone? I'm not on stock rom and would like to try the original one
Well in all regards it's a good thing I searched on this subject before I posted anything. In any case does this app let you limit your bandwidth when using it as a wi-fi hotspot? or is there any app that will let me limit my speeds when using the wi-fi?

It isn't possible to put the changed files in place, but i can't remember which dev (either leoisright or xhausx) said the edited tether is ready to be pushed to the system as soon as we do get root.
Another thing I've heard though is that usb tether works without having to pay (and without unlock/root). I heard that the pay service is just for the wireless tether. I haven't verified but let me know if that works for you.

I randomly found a USB tether app on the Market called "Klink" and it seems to cap your bandwidth to 1 MBit.. peaking at 2MBit at highest. If you need tethering now I'd suggest PDANet or EasyTether. I've not tested PDANet on the 3vo yet, but I'd bet it'd work fine. It's not worth my $15 though....

Thanks. I was wondering if this would work. ROOT would be nice, but this will satisfy until an exploit is available.
Really unless you are tethering to multiple devices or a device without usb, usb tether is the way to go.

Try to connect and see what it says, if they are going to charge you they have to tell you first. You will get a message similar to : You have not signed up for this service, to add it to your account call or go online today.
If you don't get the message than Sprint might be offering free for a limited time to get you hooked on it. If we don't get root, they may have a lot of new tether customers.

Totally my fault. Once the data connection was active i got the message saying my plan doesnt include it. Sorry.....back to holding my breath for root ;-(
Easy Tether is a great USB tethering app and it does not require root. I just bought the full version after testing the free version for a few days. I LOVE the tethering speeds at 4G.
I am in NO WAY affiliated with this app or its developers!!!

Edit... 1 hour later.
Yeow! I installed the OP's recomended ap and the speed difference is amazing.
using the Verizon "hotspot" function my laptop would need to buffer (pause) a lot to stream a 720p video. Right now I am streaming THREE different 1080p Y/T vidoes simultaneously!! (And the cached line is still outpacing the play on all 3!!!)
I'm convinced. I'm going back to buy the $10 donation. Then I'm gonna drop another 10 spot on the OP for makin my phone better! (Then I'm callin' verizon & dumping their BS wireless tether option.)
Easy Tether rocks. Thanks OP!

It should be the same as with the previous data plan. Im sure the workarounds still work. Try this app, I've been using it without issues: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5nb29nbGVjb2RlLmFuZHJvaWQud2lmaS50ZXRoZXIiXQ..

this would defeat my doubt about https (secure sites) but why do you say avoid plain http? T-mobile being able to detect if you are tethering where secure sites would be protected and no one can tell what you are doing?

Okay to answer all your questions.
1. It can access all sites.
2. Yes tmo apparently detect unpaid tethering via the pc useragent on http sites but since they pry into https as it is a secure protocol, they can't detect those but I just used all the various protocols without any issues.
3. Yes it works via the wifi tether app from the play store, it does work via the default tether app on some devices but the newer devices they set it to check your data plan for hotspot, but the wifi tether app gets around that and works fine and no I didn't modify anything, I'm on the stock apn, etc.
Yes I do have the true unlimited plan as well.

Actually everyone is doing crazy downloading, the thing about the wifi tether third party app is that it shows your device as being the user of the data and not it being tethered the way the on board hot spot option would, that's why I opt for the third party app than just a fix, that way they can't block your tethering since it's your device showing up on the network and not a pc, imo.

Man I wish it would last ten minutes for me. Maybe more like ten seconds. And I have the paid version and uninstalled reinstalled multiple times.
For those of you waiting patiently eek for root, there is a simple substitute for WiFi Tether that worked on the Note II and some other phones as well. I'm just leaving this here in case someone doesn't know.
1. Go to Settings > More Settings > Mobile Hotspot (don't turn it on, but select it).
2. Press Configure and set your desired hotspot settings.
3. Go to Play Store and download "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin Hotspot Network. Link.
4. Add widget to home screen.
5. Toggle widget on.
6. Press the Home button to dismiss this annoying, useless popup.
7. Enjoy.
This also works with Foxfi when you get the subscription notification, just click home and tether away.

If you are on a not unlimited plan you should already have tethering enabled, so no need to do anything but use the built-in app.
