Maybe you got caught...

Maybe he's notified cyber crime? Remember just because he's not locked his door it doesn't mean you can walk in and take food from the fridge.

Hey guys, can't find the answer anywhere but, whenever I connect to a cell network 3g/4g or lose the connection whatever I am doing on the phone sound wise is interrupted by an alert. Any idea how to turn this off?
You're right, there doesn't seem to be a setting for that - unfortunately

I agree on this one. I tried browsing system files in hopes of locating and replacing the file but didn't have any luck. Pretty embarrassing when I'm at work and my pocket starts twinkling repeatedly as my phone tries reconnecting to network.
Well back to Verizon and the fascinate on Thursday. Don't have 4g in MN yet anyhow

Its definitely Touchwiz related, never happened on my Nexus.

Id like to tether on the Nexus 4 rarely, but it might use a chunk of data. Is there a way to do so without them detecting it? I know a lot of people frown upon asking these questions, but id like to know
Thank you!
Haha! It probably is going to be very difficult without actually hacking into their servers. And once you are caught I doubt the trouble you would get if you get caught will be fun. So in short, maybe if you are a 1337 h4x0r.

So the tethering apps cant spoof the traffic to look like its mobile?
They detect you by sniffing for your browser "User Agent".
1) Use an encrypted VPN tunnel as your default gateway.
2) Use HTTPS URL's
3) Change your browser User Agent
Are 3 ideas that come to mind.
Easy? I'd you enable wireless hotspot under data, it works great! I use it sometimes, never had issues. I had a family emergency last week and my mom literally had to fly to Russia same day we found something out. Long story short I ended up driving to her house and helping her with everything. She had to unlock her iPhone 5 on sprint so that she could get a Sim over there temporarily.
Reset the iPhone and we had to leave to the airport. Since I cloud doesn't do anything over mobile network, I had to make my nexus into a hotspot while we drove, besides tmo is like 100x faster than sprint. Anyway, all was well, at the the end of the day my data usage shows 2gb worth of data, no problems.

I really don't think T-mobile cares as much as you are thinking. I use my phone to tether to my xbox and tablet quite a lot since my wifi sucks, and they haven't said anything. I think it might be that they don't monitor prepaid plans as closely, but what's the worst that could happen?
Without a data plan or without a tethering plan? There are ways to tether without a tethering plan such as VPN.
What if I connected my phone to my home VPN and funneled all traffic through there?
awesome

If you don't overdo it, T-Mobile won't bug you.

Just got my s4 and I am having a issues with my wifi. When I connect I can use it for about 5 min then it stops downloading. The icon on my phone shows that it is uploading but I don't think it is. Anyone else having wifi issues? I know it's not my wife because my ipad and all my other wifi devices work just fine. I have dlink dir 655 wireless N router and I am not rooted.

Hah, "Wife issues."
But so far, I haven't had any WiFi issues. Mine has stayed connected consistently.
Yea sorry bout that didn't notice that my phone doesn't know what wifi is haha. I don't know what's going on with my phone. It just stops downloading then like 5 min later it starts then stops again.

does it keep disconnecting & reconnecting?
Yes, it locks up showing that it is stuck uploading then I have to wait a minute or 2 for it to disconnect then reconnect.

I also have the dir 655 router and have the same issues connecting. After searching this issue, it appears that this router has compatibility problems with Samsung phones. I have connected with no problems to AT&T's hotspot, my wifi at work, the wifi at my car dealer when getting service. I only have problems when I'm at home with the Dlink. I've tried WPA with TKIP, WEP, and no encryption at all and it will constantly lose connection no matter what I do.
My work uses an ASUS router with WPA2 and AES and I am connected all day so I went out and ordered one. Hoping that when it arrives on Tuesday that I will have no more problems connecting.

Sorry about the wrong thread it was late last night and wasn't paying attention, also why the title of the post was wife issues haha. Good to know it is not my phone that isn't working . I have another wireless router I am going to try out here in a bit and see if my dir655 was the culprit. Thanks for the heads up!

Just set up a netgear router I had as a spare and no problems now! Hopefully someone can find a fix for the dir 655, such a good wireless AP! Thanks again Will822!

How do i share my wifi connection from my note 3 to my laptop? when i try apps, it just disables the wifi, thus defeating the whole sharing process. can anyone help?
Your 4G internet is shared using wifi. you cannot use wifi for both.

I don't have 4g data, i am just using it as a wifi right now, i want to share that wifi with my other devices, not possible huh?
Sorry no. What WiFi point is your phone receiving internet from? Y not just connect your computer to that same router?

If this physically works out for you, place the laptop within range of the router and host your laptop as a wireless access point/wifi via ICS(internet connection sharing) within Windows to your Android phone
So it would be like Router ---> Laptop ---> Android piggybacked where the phone is the one not in range of the Wifi
Another option is to upgrade your router/laptop to a longer range. If you're on N, upgrade to Ac if your wallet allows it
or just buy a Wifi range extender.
seems a bit sublime to be trying to use a mobile device which is likely to move all over the place as a range extender - when the problem that needs to be solved involves distance & orientation relative to fixed stations.
Hey guys.
I got my N6P yesterday but I am having a problem with it.
There is free WiFi at work but when I try and connect to it I am not being directed to the log in page. I thought it may be an issue with chrome blocking it so tried Firefox but still couldn't log in.
There is no it support, as it is just a free open network.
Any body any ideas how I can get around this?
Thanks.

No idea, I haven't had an issue. I use free WiFi all the time at my work. You sure it's not the wrong wifi spot and you are on the private WiFi instead?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yeah pretty sure. I had my old phone with me too which connected as normal so I know it wasn't a problem with the WiFi.
Edit.. Just tried another free network and was directed to a login page. Maybe just a problem with the login at work. I need to take a trip to MacDonald's and Starbucks to test it more!
