Are you on the right plan? Did it work before? What did you change?

I have spent 2 days on the phone with customer care and they act like they have no clue what the device is. They think it is the phone and not the tablet. The problem I'm having is a Rep told me u can do a non contract data line for the tab and pay $40 a month. Ever since they added the data line I haven't had internet. They have confirmed that I have a tab but they don't know what data plan I should be on. What happens is every time I try to connect the the market or anything that uses data it fails and ask me to retry. I made sure I have the correct apn setting and its still not working
out of Apple semen came the HTC Evo
Do you have SIM card in your Tab?
Where did you get the Tab from? At the store? or online?
Did the internet work in 3G at the store? what about with wifi?
Did you sign up for any plans when you got the Tab?
You should be on one of the web connect plans for the Tab.

having same issue here. Data plan worked yesterday but have not been able to connect today. Only goes to MY.TMOBILE.COM. Inserted sim in HD2 and it works properly.
Cant receive MMS or access data plan on Galaxy Tab. Shows EDGE network is connected. Can make calls, send and receive text. Can send MMS.
Any ideas?
If anyways else is has flashed their Tab to make calls on Tmobile US did you have to make any changes to network settings? APN name is showing as "T-mobile US 310 260"
Thanks for any info you may be able to provide.
Sounds like you guys are most likely not on the right data plan. As stated earlier you need to be on the web connect data plan. If you are on a voice plan plan with the android data feature it won't work. Or more specifically it may work for a bit then stop working once the imei is filtered.

Thanks for the straight forward simply explanation. Why isnt there more people complaining of this after they flashed to JK1 for voice service?

Hello fellow xda members! I think many of you know about T-Mobile's data throttling and what a nuance it may be. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and even possible solutions to this. Thanks!

I thought this was only an issue if you went over the 5GB monthly cap?
That is true. I seem to go over that limit every other month. I'm currently throttled and I have dial up speeds

In that case there really isn't much you can do because they are limiting it on their end. It's kind of like a cable provider capping out your cable connection.
Only suggestion we can give is to try to use WiFi more often and disable your Data Connection whenever your not really using it. If you have an email account setup to auto download then that may be why your going over the cap so quickly.
Is anyone using T-mobile for making calls only, no data and using a different service for data?
I am wanting to use T-mobile for my phone calling service but I want to use my hotspot/modem for wifi as it always goes with me and I am already getting a good deal on it. So I am looking to see if anyone has done this. When I talk to T-mobile they say that their pay as you go has no data but I am wondering if there is any way for T-mobile to interfere with my wifi hotspot/modem. BTW I am new to smart phones.
No you can do that. Just have your Nexus 4 connected to the WiFi hotspot all the time and you will be fine. It won't interfere with your cellular connection for phone calls and messaging

This will work. I did this when I used a phone that didn't have T-Mobile bands.

Got a text message that I have been blocked from using wifi tether. On a fully unlimited plan with t-mobile. I realize that normally you have to pay for wifi tether, but I am on CM10.1 so I didn't think they would be able to tell? I had Verizon in the past with wifi tether on my Galaxy Nexus and used it a lot without a problem. Is t-mobile more strict or what?

I've tethered plenty of times on Tmobile with no issues, don't even bother to change the useragent on my browser when I do. Sounds like you've been doing it either very frequently or using excessive bandwidth and they caught on to you. Knowing it's a service they charge extra for you coulda been more careful .

That's kinda crazy! I just checked my bill and I used 5 gigs last month and 1.6 so far this billing cycle. Doesnt seem to extreme to me!
How much of that usage was tethering?

Oh yeah they can tell. I got a push text (not a normal one) on my cm10.1 yelling at me about tethering, only after 30 seconds of viewing a webpage. I was able to use my hidemyass vpn and not a peep.

According to Data Usage in Settings (I assume it is all reported under Tethering and portable hot spot? Or does it also report as browser?):
This month: 140MB
Last month: 334MB

I'm wondering with the 500mb of tethering included with unlimited if they are going to be doing good less random checks. Have you thought about switching to or making sure your on the new plan?

Use a vpn tmobile packet sniffs your browsers user agent so say chrome for Windows pops up on their tower that's how they find out

Change your browser's "User Agent" (addon/plugin) to android or some other mobile device. That way, Tmo will think you're using data on your mobile and you won't get flagged for hotspot tethering.

Thanks guys, I've installed an add on to Chrome on my desktop and changed by user agent to Chrome/Nexus 4. Tested it out on a wired connection and most web sites seem to be going to the mobile version, so I think it is working.
However, it looks like as I was experimenting trying to get around the block, they have completely disabled tether all together. Got another text that said wifi tether was been blocked. I can connect, but before I was at least getting a t-moble splash page. Now I get no internet connection at all. Hopefully they re-enable in a few days or by next billing cycle.
Are you using an app to tether or built in method

Does anyone know if Koush's tether app gets around this?
And what about using a VPN, is that a solid solution?

It should be or it could be my luck, my idea is. If tmobile can't see your packets then they can't tell what you're doing

Hi all,
I'm really happy with my nexus 4 that I brought in November, but every day when i go out and i start using the 3G connection I'm having data drop.... That happens always, if I wanna check Facebook or just using Internet I have to try many times to get the data to work, I have tried stock kernel and now I'm on Franco kernel but seems that nothing works.
So are you having data drops issue? I'm thinking of sending my telephone back for warranty but I don't know if it is just me or if this is happening to all you?
Thx
I've been having the same issue. Are you on AT&T? I had them update my IMEI today and the old Cingular APN works consistently but they messed up my data plan, so I'll have to check back tomorrow when I'm back on the HSPA+ APN.

Nop, I brought it in USA trough google play store but I'm living in France I'm on Orange, but I don't know if it's something with the hardware because I already try 2 different companies.
I woke up this morning to my phone saying I need to sign into the network HOME. The phone shows 3G/H but cant connect to Google's services, apps cant get to data and when I try to go anywhere in the browser it redirects me to a T-Mobile web page saying I dont have a working data plan and to sign up for a data plan. I'm in Atlanta, GA.
APN is :
straight talk
wap.tracfone
8080
http://mms.tracfone.com
mcc = 310
mnc = 260
I doubt its going to be fixed on here but I am wondering if its global or if I should keep harping on them because its specific to my SIM.
You need to set your APN to T-Mobile settings. I'll post my settings.

I had the exact same issue a few days ago with net10. Support was not helpful. Finally purchased a new tmobile sim, and did the transfer existing service to new sim via the website. Had data back within a few minutes.

I use Platinum Tel which also borrows its service from T-mobile and I havent had data working for 2 days. I turn it on but nothing happens. I've asked them about it and I checked two different phones. I dont know whatsup.
I checked the APN settings and they were ok.
My APN settings never changed and they were never those settings. Let me reiterate, I am on STRAIGHT TALK and not T-Mobile directly.
Then have had me trying a dozen ones and nothing.
I'm having the same issue, and so are people on Facebook and the ST forums. Support is useless, but I finally got escalated high enough to make them put in a detailed ticket about the issue.
It's not just you, it's a lot of people, so I'm hoping it'll be fixed soonish.
Still broken, this is two days out now :/ If anyone has this fixed for themselves somehow, please post.

I had to buy a new sim card and transfer the service.
They sent me an AT&T SIM.
