Wing and usb modem

I was wondering if anyone has used usb modem to tether on tmobile and have their unlimited email/internet if you tethered and they don't charge you extra if you use it. can they detect the tethering?

no they cant

i've used internet sharing (that is on the stock ROM) when the internet was cut off in my dorm during mid terms and everyone had papers due (morons). worked fine, no extra charges either. i also have a program that will turn your phone into a wireless router. that works nicely too

I use it all the time! In fact im usin it right now! Hey how do you turn your phone into a wifi router??? id like to know! Thanks !!

20 Euros to buy, i don't know when the trial expires, i've only used it a few times.

"Free" WiFi Hotspot Stopped Working

Soon after I got my phone, I used the ##778 reprogramming trick to enable "free" usb tethering. (PDAnet would crash my Vista laptop every 10 minutes.)
After the 2.2 OTA, I've been using the same trick to enable "free" hotspot through my Inc. (No root necessary!) I was able to access email and surf the web and after 1.5 months, I never once saw the MBC feature added to my bill.
Until 3 days ago, everything was working great. I would turn on the hotspot, my laptop would connect to the network and I was able to access the web.
Since then, my Inc creates a network and my laptop connects to the network, but it never connects to the internet. (The little globe icon doesn't appear. If that makes sense...) I checked ##778 settings and everything is fine.
I'm running stock kernel and 2.2 OTA with LauncherPro. I have ~200 apps installed currently. BUT none of that should matter because it worked fine with all these apps before.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Would the app that works for rooted phones work for me? I've been trying to avoid rooting my phone because, I'll end up spending WAY TOO MUCH time playing with ROM's and such. (It's inevitable, but I'm holding out as long as I can. Until then, I'll continue to read this forum to stay current.)

Mine still works fine - Root it jackass (jk) your phone will literaly be 100 times better

My co-worker used to connect his BB to my network, but now it won't even connect. It detects the network with 4 bars, but he gets an error connecting. (Probably because it won't detect an internet connection.)
This is bothering me a lot. I have a feeling it could be a hardware issue.
I got a wireless router yesterday for my workplace now so I don't really need the feature anymore (it's so much faster than VZW's network!), but I'd like to able to use it in emergency situations when I can't find an open network on the road.

+1 Root. Bro it will honestly take you less than 10 minutes to root your device and install wireless tether and you'll be off and running. If your timid you don't have to do anything more than that. All you have to do to revert is flash the stock image from your sd card to unroot.

WiFi Tethering dropping often

On my droid X my wifi tethering drops often using either wifi for root users or verizons app with the NAI changed (aka not paying for it), Anyone else having this problem. laptop just stops working or netflix streaming stops but device appears to still be connected. Never really used the wifi tethering enough with my other devices in the past (dinc, droid 1, etc) but its annoying now that i have a small laptop and try to use it often. PDAnet works perfect via cable, so maybe its the droid x wifi driver thing?

by drop do you mean the cellular data connection or the wifi connection? one possibility (unlikely) is if you are receiving a lot of texts. I know that on my X when i receive a text the data connection stops while receiving a text. By stops i mean the data arrows are inactive every time i receive a text regardless of what i'm doing with my data. however i doubt this would cause your netflix to stop. do you have certain power settings to change the data state when the screen turns off or something?

Mine does the same thing. I can use it usually anywhere from 2 minutes up to 10-15 mins max. It does this using 3G Mobile Hotspot & Wireless Tether (ad-hoc). In fact I was looking around on Google, and saw a bunch of people with the same issue, ones that were even paying for the tethering option. Mine is so bad that I don't even bother with it anymore.
I'm using the PDAnet USB connection right now, and it's working without issue. I also have great results with Bluetooth DUN, but it 'feels' slightly slower when compared to the USB connection. (which could all be in my mind)
I've had it happen on the stock OTA 2.2, Rubix Blurry .3, and now Rubix Blurry 1.0. I had it happen overclocked @ 1.2, LV 1Ghz, underclocked LV @ .9 and am currently back at stock speed and voltage.

im assuming its moto's hardware then shame with fission i was actually starting to like the phone alot

Before my internet was connected at my home I used my phone as a hot spot and it worked flawlessly. I never had a connection issue except when I would receive phone calls.

yep. mine stops ALOT. ill get lucky and stay connected for a few minutes here and there but it will disconnect non the less. PDA is ok but still.

3g hotspot and wifi tether for root useres works great for me. Both only drop when I receive a call such sucks if you are in the middle of modern warfare match.

Mine is terrible. 2-5 minutes max connection time. I had to switch to usb as well.

Mine did this too,but all my smart phones have. Not just motos. A few wks ago I started using barnacle on my dx and havent had much of of a problem since. Maybe once an hr I have to stop and start tether again. It was acting up yesterday but I figured out battery manager app will kill the connection. Lemme know if it works or it's just a coincidence.

bluetooth tether issue

Why do some users achieve tether and others don't especially with the same tablet and phone. I had a theory and tested it and was right. For those that have managed to get as far as I did with connecting to your phone and having both Bluetooth icons but not be able to connect here is why. Your on wifi it only tethers on 3g I don't have 4 g by me so can't comment if it will work or not. I tried on wifi and the load bar would move an inch and stop then disconnected from wifi and TA DA it achieved tether. Why I have no idea but it works as a matter of fact I am posting this on my xoom connected to my bionic.

I've been using Bluetooth Tethering extensively. It works really well, but is a little temperamental.
On my phone (HTC Magic with a Gingerbread ROM), the *first* time I connect the Xoom, tethering appears to work but doesn't. So, on first connection, I always disconnect, then reconnect, and then I'm good for the rest of the day. This is most likely a bug in my ROM's Bluetooth implementation, but might be more widespread and might be what's making you think Bluetooth tethering just doesn't work at all.
Also, occasionally, and for no apparent reason, the bluetooth stack on the Xoom will go completely non-functional. All I have to do is disable bluetooth, re-enable it, and re-tether to the phone. Only a few seconds, and I'm back in business.
While a perfect Bluetooth tethering solution would be really nice, these two issues are minor enough that I'm considering not upgrading my now ancient phone until the 3 year contract is up.

Painful Tether/Hotspot speed

Ive been trying to use tethering to my laptop and its to the point of unusable, im getting 56k speedsi if that while a speed test from my phone im getting 15-30 down and 2-10 up.
I'm using wifi hotspot ive tried both 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz. I have also tried the USB Tether but my windows 10 doesnt like it for some reason. Im on verizon with a shared Data plan that includes the Hotspot feature. anyone have any ideas
Thanks

No idea, but I've tethered to a Windows 7 laptop. Performance was good, so I never bothered to check the speed.

I am having same issue. I use T-mobile and my OnePlusOne never had this issue. I would go to gym and just turn on my hotspot and watch Netflix without issue in the past. With the MXPE, it's like being on 56k modem. Anyone else having this issue?

I tether almost everyday due to terrible speeds at work. I'm on Verizon unlimited and I do not experience any speed issues. I unlocked but I made no changes for tether as that worked out of the box

I tried Bluetooth tethering which works fine without any issue so it's not exactly a carrier issue. I also verify with t-mobile that they didn't turn of my hotspot feature by accident.

I have the same issue on TMO US. With my Nexus 5, I had fast, dependable tethering. Now with the MXPE my tethering is painfully slow and flaky. Not good at all when on the road.

I'm having the same issue. I just upgraded from a Droid MAXX that had fantastic tethering speeds, and now on my new MXPE it's like being on dialup. Has anyone come up with a solution? I've been loving the phone so far, but tethering is too important to me and I won't be able to keep the phone if I can't figure it out.

I've had this happen twice. A reboot fixed it both times.

I've had this happen more than twice... Hoping the devs can come up with a fix

I'm on VZW ULDP and mine can be painfully slow at times as others have indicated. Usually a reboot will rectify it. But that's not really convenient. I have it set up to start tether automatically when I start my car (bluetooth connection activated via tasker) so I can automatically get traffic to work or home on my z ultra.

I had my first tethering session yesterday. I am on Verizon. A customer I was meeting with needed email access on his Surface Pro and there was no free WiFi where we met. I went in and setup a portable WiFi hotspot. We were both quite impressed with the speed. Keep in mind, this is the only time I have tried it but there were no issues.

hello i just got my moto x pure and i was trying to tether everything seems to be ok until i try use internet in my macbook and is not trasmitting data,same thing happened with nexus 6 i found that when lte it stops transfering data,this is so stupid this is an unlocked phone and it wont let me tether?????? wtf........im using simple mobile unlimited 4g LTE ,i was using an Asus ZenFone 2 and tether without issues,thanks.

This happens almost every time I use the hotspot. Rebooting usually fixes it - temporarily. I'm really hoping that marshmallow has better hotspot performance on the MXP

I get this issue... It's not exactly slow speeds, more like a spotty connection. I use Remote Desktop to do my work, which should still technically run smoothly (albeit slowly) on a 56k connection. I am connecting to a Windows NT server, so I am only using 16-bit graphics quality to reduce the strain on my bandwidth. We didn't even have anything that much faster than T1 at that time, so I can't imagine a Windows NT server running slowly on a modem connection. I noticed a couple things that were strange, so I think there may be settings on my phone causing it but I cannot be sure.
The connection fast when I test the tethering at home, but when I am out the connection constantly drops. I cannot even get a stable connection to my server to do any work. This is not when I am in the car moving from cell tower to cell tower, this is if I am at a place without WiFi, such as my dentist's office.
Chrome gets stuck at "Resolving host..." when trying to visit any websites. This would lead me to believe it is a DNS error, however this does not explain the connection instability with Remote Desktop, and using the address's IP address does not seem to fix this, strangely enough.
I am on a VZW grandfathered unlimited plan, using the TruPure ROM. I did not want to move away from stock, but I did it in an attempt to fix my tethering issues. So far nothing has worked.
