ATT didn't detect? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm just wondering, I am currently using the MT4G on the ATT network, but i'm wondering why they didn't detect its a smartphone and add the smartphone data plan. Is it because its rooted and S=off?
My sister has the Nexus One, which isn't rooted, S=on.
When she uses the internet, ATT detects she has the smartphone and adds the dataplan.
I'm using the internet every single day and they haven't detected anything so far.

Nice screw at&t

I'm using at&t also its been a month so far... no smartphone data plan yet... but I think it has to do with the imei number for your phone... I'm assuming at&t doesn't have tmobile mytouch imei's in the database.

Best AT&T prepaid smartphone plan?

I bought a Samsung galaxy S2 off contact. I am looking for the best plan with days and text mainly with some minutes. I would like it on AT&T bands so I have 3g data. Thank you for the help.

I would say unlock it and move to starlight talk. The phone will work the same as in a ATT network and you get everything unlimited for $45

Simple mobile vs t-mobile

Is simple mobile data better than t-mobile? Is it really unlimited and stays at 4g with no cap?

No. It has a 5GB cap.

There is defiantly a 1 Gb cap and I went through the Mytouch 3G, Mytouch slide and Mytouch4G while with them and always had problems with mms messages it's like if the picture size was to big it was a problem receiving pictures.
Never heard of simple mobile is it like tmobile ?
I had a mytouch4g. I loved the phone but hated the service from T-Mobile. I would get no bars of 3g in my home. I couldn't browse the web or download apps without getting on my wifi. Calls were dropped all the time. It would also take hours to send and receive pictures. I got fed up and got a phone with Verizon and I'm loving the reception.

I heard verizon is very good, am just waiting for my contract to be over, but the charges are very high, also i think their throttle speed is even better than tmobile..

It's a MVNO using T-Mobile's network.
I been with simple mobile for about 6months now and there is no data cap regardless of what some people believe.
But if you use up too much bandwidth with apps like Netflix they will throttle you back to 2g .
I'm always streaming music or on the net or on YouTube and I haven had any issue with that.just don't use Netflix or any app similar or any bittorrent or tethering and you will be fine.

There speeds are the same as T-mobile but 1 thing I totally forgot if you use data to fast they will throttle you instantly 1 month I was on a flashing spree and instead of restoring my apps on wifi I was doing it on the network. They throttled me with a little over 1Gb of use they figured I was using my phone as a Hot spot and would not unthrottle me after I called to complain and tell them I was leaving.

Custom Roms and Tethering Detection?

I am new here to Aria and ATT. I was wondering if ATT can detect tethering on all Cusom Roms?
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
Yes... It's where the data terminates is how they can detect it. That and packet inspection.
I guess no one has figured out a way to stop detection like the devs on the cdma carriers.

ClockworkMod's new Tethering app is supposed to be undetectable -- although the app itself is not free (you can use it for a few weeks as a trial though) and it only supports USB tethering. Still might be worth a look: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/1Yy1jb9z4TA
You won't find it on the Market though because AT&T has blocked it. You'd have to sideload it.
Thanks. Pda supposedly has a stealth mode. I wonder how good that is compared to clockwork?

Making my Verizon G2 work on T-Mobile or Sprint?

Is there any possible way to make my Verizon LG G2 work on T-Mobile / Sprint or AT&T? I bought it thinking I had 30 days to change my mind and then found out I only have 14. The Verizon plans are ridiculously expensive and I want to switch over.
Is there ANY solution to this? or am I better off just selling the device online and paying the $350 penalty
U can't. U will have to sell it
