So I've been using Barnacle to tether to my laptop at work when I get bored. Yesterday I went to login to facebook and Whamo! A TMobile splash page pops ups talking about getting a tethering plan! That's the only page I can access now when I try to tether. Sucks!!! Looks like they finally caught on.

How about you use the built in access point in settings? That still works. Barnacle is garbage.

If you have a custom ROM (Most of them added this in) you can use the stock Samsung AP:
Settings--> Wireless and Network--> Mobile AP. Then go to settings, set up your SSID and security phrase, check to enable, enjoy.
Been using it sparingly at work when I need to get around the firewall, worked as of about 45 minutes ago.

If you are still getting the splash page its possible that you tether wayy too much and T-Mobile has flagged your account for tethering exorbitantly.
On average how much data do you reckon you tether on a monthly basis? (btw im tethering right now to send this message) I tether roughly 1-2 gig at most per month but its spread out over the course of the month.
If you dont tether that much or that often i would suggest starting fresh with a clean install of another or the same rom, if that still doesnt work it sounds like you are SOL.

I agree with you about the Mobile AP, it's the best. The people who contribute to this Vibrant Forum are also awesome, the amount you have taught me thank you.
Kept my Vibrant (in soft brick at the moment but will fix it) but got hung up in the moment at a TMO store and bought the SGS 4G. Couldn't let go of the Vibrant so was playing with both. The Vibrant is going to be a hard phone to do better on! Off to return the now unrooted SGS 4G to exchange for a different phone or just return. This Vibrant forum spoiled me and then to see what's going on on the SGS 4G forum is just sad.
Here you are apologizing or explaining yourself which is was really nice, on the SGS 4G forum all they do is blast people. I will being hitting the Thanks button more after my experience over there. Thanks for all you've done to contribute to this forum.
I have read posts of others getting this page randomly using every tether app regardless ie, Mobile AP, Barnacle, wifi tether. Once in a while i might have to reset my settings or turn off/on tethering and it werks again but its just for a bad connection never the "Tmobile tethering plan" page.
I have been capped once before and received the dreaded throttle down txt message. It only affected my tether ability the phones internet really didn't take a hit at all. At least not noticeably. Other than the throttle down (which has nothing to do with Mobile AP werkin and is totally my fault) I personally have not had any issues with it.
Still get the tmo splash page on my laptop at work..... but can get internet just fine at home on my iMac..... both using AP.... weird

Be sure your wireless card supports "ad-hoc" connections.
Win7 doesn't really like ad hoc either, but it will work with them.

Yes if you tether with gingerbread Verizon with show up at your house and kill you. It has been proven on a forum that it will happen so I read on the internet so it must be true...
Really, until you get something from Verizon saying they are tracking you and bla bla bull crap don't worry about the retards who keep beating the whole sky is falling tether crap. With noon more to go off of then that damn p3 article. NOTHING in that dumb ass post has been verified.
That said before you start Barnacle use titanium backup to freeze your notification bar and then it should work.
Also pdanet needs a usb to work (last time I checked) and the free version wont let you go to https sites (again it has been a while since I looked into this app so it may have changed)

Let me clarify something for everyone here. A contact of mine has looked into the issue. When you use the 3g hotspot, in the code, there is a value that is set to 0. It is believed that this is how they can track you. However NOBODY has lost service or had any adverse effects as of now. However, this is ONLY present if you use the stock 3g hotspot. As with anything, do it at your own risk, there almost certainly will NOT be a problem.

What is the name of the app to freeze?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I can most of the time using the TBH patcher and wifi heather. Its about how gingerbread handles/reports data sessions, meaning its different then froyo so it doesn't report teather apps as an internal data session, instead saying it is an external data sessions, thus redirecting to Verizon's weboage.
But if you can get teather running, there is no more or less risk than before on froyo, its the same possibilities.

Cant find notification bar in in titanium backup ...
Im am on the rooted .588 GB and have the TBH patch installed and use the Hotspot app to tether. At first I could not get it to connect half the time and the other half when it did connect seemed to suffer DNS related issues or drop connection.
I ended up adding my MAC address in the native app for authorized connections and have had ZERO issues ever since.
Does anyone know is the TBH patche is out there somewhere still available for download? By the time I got a hold of it the whole Internet was going crazy over the tethering thing. I would like to be able to tether with GB. Don't wan a have to go back down to froyo.

Sideload Barnacle or download PDANet
yea I use an unlocked AT&T atrix on Rogers and couldn't get the hot spot to work either. Just downloaded the android wifi tether from the market and it works fine. No need for the built in one.
I am running SRF 1.2 which comes with WiFi tether which I have had VERY little luck with. Every time I try running it, the phone reboots. I remember that there was a thread or a post within a thread that explained how to avoid this but after playing with it for an entire night I was never able to get it to work with my 4G.
Last night I went surfing for apps and found the app in the thread title, the developer name is Mueller, Lemons, Buxton and it works like a charm. Within seconds of installing my computer had recognized the WiFi Hotspot and connected with DL speeds of 3-5 Mbps.
I just wanted to put this out there for SRF 1.2 users who may be experiencing similar problems who might want to use wireless tethering.
What version of the Wireless Tether app are you running? Is the icon green or yellow?
I'm running the Wireless Tether 3.0-pre14 with no problems. There is a trick for initial configuration and when you turn it on though:
Initial Config:
Device Profile = Epic 4G
Setup Method = Auto
Wifi-Encryption = Checked
Passphrase = (some passphrase)
SSID = (some SSID)
Access-Control = Enabled
To Turn Wireless Tether On:
Turn OFF 4G and WIFI. If either of these are on when wireless tether is turned on you will have problems.
Wait for both the "Hotspot" and "Wifi Tether" notifications.
Turn back ON 4G (if you want).
The trick is to go in settings and select the Epic. Then, before you start tethering, turn off 4g, then activate tether. Once it gets up and running, turn back on 4g and you will be good...EDIT...you beat me. The yellow 3 pre 14 is incredible

There is a new beta out that works really well and has Infrastructure (AP) mode. If you haven't looked go out to code.google.com and check it out. It works perfectly for my Epic. Just make sure you select Epic 4g in the device profile and Samsung SoftAP in the Setup-Method section.
I did a lot of these things, not remembering in particular what it was because it's been a few weeks.
I guess the point of the post was more just to let people know about another wireless tethering app that is free and works without having to adjust any settings, turn 4g on/off, face the western horizon between the hours of 3:00-6:00 pm, stand on your head while drinking water, turn the phone counter clockwise in your hand while you turn clockwise, etc...
Install, open, tether, done.
Wireless Tether by these apparently European devs. It works.

i had that but now i downloaded 3.1 beta 1 but i havent tried it... has anyone tried both and which is better? i see 3 pre 14 is no longer on the website
I am using the newest 3.1 beta now with some success.
I experienced an issue on SRF 1.2 where my devices could get IP but could not access the internet.
The wifi tether would start and stop just fine, 4g or not.
I then flashed EF02plus and it works fine.
However, with EF02plus I have a different issue, which has existed with all versions of wifi tether 3.0, where 'sometimes' when you turn off 4G, the phone will reboot.
So, there is some combination of events that can lead to something going funny, and then turning off tether or 4g will reboot the phone. This doesn't happen often.
So far, 3.1 beta is a winner for me.

Google how to change the user agent on your internet browser. The T-mobile upsell page only shows up when it detects you're using a desktop browser via the user agent. Try tethering to a tablet or Google Chrome with the user agent set to Firefox and it works fine even after they send you the message saying your tethering is blocked.

The quick workaround for the tether monitor upsell is to use a VPN... You can use a free service (I use VPN Reactor) or a paid service (such as StrongVPN).
To find and setup VPN Reactor, use HTTPS://www.google.com to perform a search... VPN Reactor is a secure (HTTPS) site and the upsell notice will not appear (which you might have noticed when checking any other secure site, such as GMail).
I hope this helps those looking for a solution to the tether upsell notice.
Idk if this is possible but using cm9 and aokp I have had no problems with tethering, and from what I have been reading perhaps aosp derivative roms don't have this issue?

BTW TMo will be stopping free tethering with ICS: http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/25504?start=0&tstart=0

yeah, you've got to get rid of tethering manager completely.... in other words find a rom that doesn't need it!
TMo can stop you from tethering if they want to, It's just a balance of the expected revenue gain and the likely backlash. If a nasty message accomplishes one without the other, it's a no brainer.
If you are rooted on a custom rom from the development section most likely you shouldn't receive any messages. That doesn't mean they aren't tracking your data. You will be throttled to 60kbs when you've reached the limit. For most people that's 2 or 5 gigs of data. There used to be a work around for the throttle but it's been patched.
