I just finished getting my Telus HTC Touch Vogue installed with Andriod.
Does anyone know if the Telus data tethering charges still apply to Andriod tethering methods?

I want to know, does wifi tethering on this rom need that extra tethering plan from at&t, or does it work with my regular data plan. Don't want to start using it and having at&t charging me double what im paying now just to use the data i have the way i want >.<

With Liberated FR008 the wifi tethering uses the phone's data connection and does not require the AT&T tethering package.
Liberated will allow you to to tether, but you might want to watch out for a notice from AT&T. If they somehow figure out you're tethering, they automatically switch you to the tethered plan.
Ok, thanks both of you. I don't think i will get the message considering I only have a 200 mb data plan, and the only place i will use the tether is my iPod touch. Plus i dont think anybody using android has gotten the message yet, just iPhone users.
On my atrix there are multiple APN's. There's AT&T US, AT&T US HSDPA, AT&T US Tether, and AT&T US MMS. They're all pretty much self explanatory except for the difference between AT&T US and US HSDPA; what's the difference? Also, does the phone switch between APN's automatically if you tether or use mms?
I tried creating a new APN so I could tether without buying a tethering plan using the settings here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11493471&postcount=193
Do I need to set up a new one because the default APN will switch to AT&T US Tether and AT&T will track that?
That actually didn't work, my computer only has limited connectivity when it connects to the network. Does anyone know why? I'm thinking of trying Barnacle Tether if I can't get the APN to work, but will AT&T be able to see I'm tethering if I use that?
Tether is for them to know you are tethering using at&t's method. That way they can monitor usage. Hspa is 4g. Install custom rom and use mobileap. If not, root and use android wifi tether.
You need to install customs rom which support it

Not sure what you're talking about.
I have a htc trophy verizon version, and want to have tethering work. I noticed that some customized roms have such ability, but do I still need to buy tethering plan from verizon after flashing these roms? thx.
Nop, just enable it (with a custom rom)

See my other post to you. After I installed a rom with tethering, I have yet for Verizon to detect it or ask me to add a tethering plan (they don't really offer the option to add a tethering plan to our phones anyway).
XDA,
Recently bought an AT&T S4 with hopes to unlock it and use my T-Mobile SIM in it. I've done some reading and noticed native wifi tether was removed from the rom although it was in 4.3 and below. What I need in particular is to know if there are any roms, or apps that would allow me to have unlimited wifi tethering, provided I have truly unlimited phone data?
I currently use a T-Mobile Note 4 and the rom I'm using has "unrestricted wifi tethering mod" built in. Which allows for unlimited tethering. Is there a way I could do this on the S4 through rom or app?
Appreciate it in advance.
OK i obviously have a G2 (D802) its an unlocked open variant and im on the three network with Unlimited Data and 2GB of tethering allowance.
i am running stock softwares and currently on D80220H-EUR-XX (Kit Kat) when i tether via WiFi it DOES NOT log any of the data i use so in affect i have unlimited data on tethering. i broke the screen on my G2 so for a while i had to use a blackberry and tethered from that albeit only on 3G , this also allowed me to tether via WIFI unlimited not logging any of the data i used on the 3 app telling my my allowances. the phone is now fixed.
now to my problem i have flashed D80230D (vodafones leak) and D80230B-EUR-XX (open) both of these work fine but as soon as i tether via WiFi it starts registering the data that i use and i can suddenly see my tethering allowance going down.
now i know this is what it is meant to do but im wondering what has changed and why does it not register the usage on kit kat or when i use a Blackberry. being able to use my phone tethered unlimited is saving me over £20 a month in broadband fees so ideally i would like to continue to use it.
i know i can just stick on kit kat but im due an upgrade in 5 months so if we can figure this out i might be able to continue with my unlimited tethering.
