If you flashed an epic to a different carrier who would be receiving what info about said phone through carrier iq.....

I Believe the company that originally sold you the phone
ex. for the epic sprint would get the info because they had CIQ installed on it.

most likely, no one.. although, if CIQ simply connects through any data connection and reports back to sprint (via one of their IP addresses) then Sprint would get the report... although, again, if CIQ is disabled, and you're not on Sprint's network, then Sprint can't enable CIQ... see the connection ?
and this is just speculation.. I don't know that much about CIQ, but common sense dictates my post here
I figured that much but sometimes ciq can be a tricky beast lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
CIQ doesnt send any info or log any atm, but if it was enabled it would goto sprint. thats who pays carrieriq for the service, and ip traffic is ip traffic regardless of the network. now how they enable it? not sure, if its ip based, they could still. if its cdma based they couldnt.

so ive been tethering for like two months with no issue via my rooted glacier.
just got a text from tmobile..
889: Free T-Mobile Msg: Phone Tethering & Wi-Fi sharing access may be blocked unless you add a Phone Tethering & Wi-Fi Sharing plan available at my.t-mobile.com
should i be worried? can they really cancel it on a rooted phone? what gives.
well they blocked it now.
its just normal web browsing which is odd.
AIM still works, and i can still browse via tor. or manually putting an s to make it https. but that isnt practical for browsing.
any ideas? different browser perhaps? i wonder how they are determining that i am tethering.
ugh, any ideas would be appreciated..how annoying.
I talked to my brother and he said its probably my user agent. So I'm going to get the ref control add on and change it so its sending what my phone sends and see if that works. Ill let y'all know how it works.

Keep us posted of the user agent change, I'd be curious to know this myself. Data packets should be entirely agnostic to their network unless are they doing deep packet inspection or specifically monitoring non-port 80 traffic, or port 80 traffic with different user agent strings.
Any luck with your attempts?

I've been tethering my myt4g with my streak 7 and havent gotten any message like this.. If I do get it though how would your workaround method work on another android device?
Isn't free tethering still available if you use the android-wifi-tether app? or the one built into CM? I heard you only get charged if you use the stock wifi tethering app
No worries for you, its only looking for desktop user agent strings to block. At home I hotspot to my mt3g from my mt4g and then tether the 3g to the desktop. Its never got a warning yet. Can you believe Sprint might be buying T-mobile out? I'll be canceling that service, again.

The good thing is if this plans out correctly those of us with T-Mobile will be able to exit the contract w/o a ETF. I hate the fact of having to use ATT or BigRed.... Wait a tick. Cincinnati Bell uses the same frequencies @ T-Mobile where i live. So i could use them and keep my phone....
Lmfao, this was the ONLY way SPRINT could get some of their old customers back. Bad part is they are going to lose more than ever. And ruin another company..... run off even more customers and then sue them for cancellation fees. Lmfao all to pay for some dumbass races and yes I think Sprint ruined Nascar too.
Sorry that's my rant....

NASCAR Being runied has nothing to do with Sprint i was blown to kingdom come before Sprint touched them IMHO.

It was on a downward spiral no doubt, but Sprint wanted it like Indy. Now there is no competition in the sport I liked it more when they used STOCK cars.... I grew up racing and the sprint cup is a disgrace.

I can tether too. I never get a message, but I don't ever use the stock app. Seems like a bad idea.

Personally i followed LeMans racing. I followed NASCAR back in the day when i was younger, but heck i'm only 28. I like the various class of cars in LeMans, it brings a new dynamic to racing. I might have car that can do 30-40MPH faster than the next guy but it cannot pass him, it doesn't do any good. I also like grass root dirt tracks, those are a blast to go watch.

Man I actually like sprint just because of thier anti throttling policies I just got a new computer in January and I've probably downloaded about 25gigs worth of torrents in the past two months using wireless tether and they haven't said a thing to me I had a mytouch before but I only had 2g were I live so I switched to sprint and got a hero and never looked Back and my bill is only about ten$ more.

Just a few with info on it. (Sorry mods, not to be off topic) I suppose just wait it out and see what happens.
To the OP: Did you find anything further?
Use the Wireless Tether app instead of the stock app. You shouldn't get any warnings/messages. I have 3 different Android phones I use (I switch SIM cards out whenever the phone I'm using currently bores me) and I haven't gotten any warnings/messages yet and I tether to my computer everyday.

Sorry somebody called and I posted the thread before I was done. I was saying I have a coworker who claims his friend at the Sprint store put a code into his phone that makes the server think its a store demo and gives him free Sprint Hotspot. I think he is full of **** and want to call him out but was just curiois if anybody has heard of such crap..

He's full of it, however there are free wireless tethering apps in the market.

Doesn't sprint just track the display models by their device id (the number under the battery, can't remember what its called). To me that seems how they would "write" that off, so if device is stolen they can track its use or shut it down. This is just me guessing please correct me if I am wrong.

Sprint doesn't even have tethering enabled on displays.
Do not become intimate with this coworker.

That I know I meant the data/voice part. Sry I could have worded question differently.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
As far as voice/data, Sprint does keep track of the ESN #s of their display phones, if they see anything crazy (people dialing long distance and then leaving calls running, prank calling etc.) they will terminate the call.

Satellites are orbiting in the upper atmosphere, whereas cell towers are... towers...
And no matter how you try to circumvent it, texts will still filter through Sprint at some point, so you're most likely out of luck on this one. Wifi is probably the only option for data, but standard texts still won't work if they're blocked on your plan

I live in a area where sprint is not so good but Verizon is blazing fast.anyway I can use Verizon towers or maybe get there modem so I can be fast also.worth a shot to ask
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
If you're on the Sprint network, you can only use the Sprint towers. Modem changes won't change that. Modems will control how your device interacts with whatever network it connects to. You can try different Sprint modems to see if that helps, but unless you change carrier, you're stuck with Sprint.
Thanx for the reply any suggestions on where I could find different sprint modems

Virgin Mobile has now rolled out a 4G phone. For us Epic 4G users running on Virgin Mobile, I was wondering if it was possible to call up Virgin, find a nice support technician, and squeeze some info out of them. Perhaps get them to add our mac addresses to the system and clear us for 4G use.
Since the price points aren't changing, I don't see what the problem would be. All they have to do is add our mac address to the system and we should be able to pick up the networks.
I'm not expert at this, and I may be missing something. However, that's what I at least think should fix the problem.
I may give this a spin sometime, just have to get an understanding technician.
What are your theories? Any ideas? Something you have been working on?
I doubt they use WiMax

Boost does. It may be how Sprint is trying to make up for it's losses on Wimax since they switched to LTE.
Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 ANDROID 4.0.4
Is it LTE or Wimax?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
It's sprints Wimax... They invested too much in Wimax to just toss it out the window so they opened it up to us boost Virgin users to get some extra life out of it since sprint will be rolling out it's LTE soon.
And don't trust sprint or boost or Virgins site for Wimax coverage... They have switched on a bunch of Wimax towers that don't show up unless you look on clear.com
Like here in Lincoln Nebraska!

If you go to epic's virgin Mobile tut, Brooksysx talks about the whole she-bang in length, it's possible to use, but tedious to the average noob nonetheless.
