Hi all
I plan to buy a kindle fire, but I don't have wifi at home, so my question is can I connect the kindle fire to my phone portable hot spot?
Thank you
Ps my phone is not rooted
Yes you can. There's built in hotspot on your MT4G. It's in settings.

Keep in mind that tethering does count against your total data usage. So if you go over you will be stuck at EDGE speeds on the fire and on the phone.
And if you are unrooted using the stock ROM T-Mobile might packet sniff to see what browser you are using and if they know it's not one the MT4G uses they can block tethering remotely.
I can play on 360 online on my phone. I know for sure you can do that im to cheap to get home internet

I'm assuming you either have 5gb or unlimited data per month... How much data do you notice being used after you play online??

T-Mobile doesn't have truly unlimited data. they throttle after certain points.
Yea I'm well aware of that I wasn't sure of his carrier tho. I was just wondering how much data is typically used after using wifi tether on a xbox360

it takes about 3 weeks to hit the 5gb limit so im stuck playing live with my samsung epic 4g touch lol but my mytouch works better then my friends internet no glitches when im playin mw3

cant you share your computers internet connection with your mytouch in internet-pass through (can be toggled when connecting via usb to computer) . i believe you just need to install the drivers that come on the usb. after you put the phone on internet pass-through i think you can enable a hotspot , pretty muching turning your phone into a router.
i have never tryed this yet , due to my usb port going bad , it has physical damage and can only charge now , so sorry that i cannot verify if this works

So there were rumors about the hotspot feature becoming a service... Mine was working at first but for the past couple of weeks I couldn't get it to work. Any info would be greatly appreciated...
Mine still works just fine

Did you exceed your data limit? You could be getting throttled.
I have used 7g data only because my home internet and cable had been down. Had to steam the Jazz games! Although online it says my speeds will be reduced they have not

wifi hotspot?
this is still free? I heard they were charging for it. What about usb tether?
Yes still free I have not seen any charges on my account

I never use tethering, but my connection is down, so I get setup and this blows. It's so slow, pages just time out and I keep getting intermittent DNS errors.
THIS is what people are all gaga over?

Are you tethering in an area where Sprint's 3g is slow?
Is there an area where it's not slow?
Btw, I tried wireless and USB tethering. Both sucked

All depends for me. Obviously it'll vary with area. I only break it out for the chromebook when I absolutely need it.

It must just be your area. I tether my EVO connection all the time and have no issues. I use it for browsing as well as playing games on xbox live and netflix. It works great.

It "works" here...but it's something I use in a pinch. I got an overdrive to reduce my hassle factor. Same signal and it's far faster.
maybe im crazy but does wifi hotspot work with 4g? I swear my tethering is pretty damn fast when i turn on 4g...
Are all of yall paying for hotspot or is it the wifi tether and can u post speeds please on 4g

Hey hipkat...my wireless tether is almost twice as fast as my home WiFi. And my home WiFi is pretty damn fast....Works great for me.
You guys are lucky then, and today, I used USB tethering again, and damned if it didn't kill my WiFi... again.
I get a connection, but nothing will update, browser won't connect, etc. They all say no connection.
I'm not even sure how I fixed it yesterday. I think it just came back "on"

AKA: are you tethering anywhere in the us?
At my house i average 1.5mbps on 3g, and at work where i have 4g i average 7mbps.

Are you using Windows 7? I had that problem with my moms computer (running win7) after I setup easytether for her. It didn't want to connect to WiFi. I have had no problems on my pc running Vista.

At home I average about 4-5mbps down, 1.0-1.5mbps up.

Either you're maxing on 4G or you're 'laxing' on the home internetz. Either way, many of us won't have 4G touching our home service.
As for speeds, and people saying 'it's fine here,' it all depends. Obviously area and coverage is going to dictate speeds. As stated, if Peoria sucks, well it sucks and it will be mirrored in your efforts to tether. You can't tether faster than your available speeds. Naturally.
I can get amazing speeds around campus but around home it's 'meh.' So, naturally, when tethering around school it's usually decent but around here it isn't. Make sense? Thank the good (raptor) lord for the WiFi.
It should be obvious that coverage and native speeds dictate your connection.
Anyone know where I can find tether drivers for XP? I tried the tetherxp.info from android.com but when I try to install them it says its not for my phone. IM using MIUI if it makes a difference.
Also plz no links to tether apps.

He's trying to tether his phones connection like in a incognito mode so T-Mobile can't notice it. They will just think he's using regular data.

no. you can try playing with the user agent, but theyll probably still see you. sometimes they wont even try to stop you, other times they are very strict. as of lately, theyre pretty diigent about stopping tethering if you dont pay for it.
I was on Tmos Value Plan (no tethering) and received several text messages about needing to add mobile hotspot before they blocked access to Internet Explorer via tethering (although could do anything else on my Windows 7 laptop)
Called support and they switched me to simple Choice while keeping my current contract term intact to avoid a migration fee. I haven't hit the 500MB tethering mark (I'm on the unlimited data plan) accordingly to data usage stats in Android so well see if they can truly track my hotspot usage (T-mobile says they can but I know it's not possible on the Nexus 4)

this is not true. they can. you are using their network, they know all about you, and what you are doing on their network. all your data is going through their network. all the information about your device, what its doing, all its identifiers, are being watched by tmobile. otherwise, they wouldnt let you onto their network. what makes you think that they cant track a nexus 4??

On most current t-mobile branded phones tethering is done via a proprietary hotspot app that tells t-mobile you are tethering, checks to see if your account can do mobile hotspot, and how much tethering data is being used. Nexus devices do not do this and therefore t-mobile only knows about tethering via useragent strings.
Also I checked my account online and T-mobile has nothing set up there to tell unlimited data users how much of their 500mb hotspot data cap they've used. If the network was able to track that wouldn't they show it in usage stats?

Had anyone suffered consequences for using data to much? Ever since I got my s4 I've been using 4g all the time listening to music from Google music Netflix etc. Last month I did about 10gb it's only been like 5 days on this month cycle and I'm already at 5.5gb so was wondering if I can see consequences or will I be good? Reason I have so much use is that I don't ever turn on my Wi-Fi since I have 4g I just leave it as is...in case you're wondering.

Nope you are fine.
Unless you're roaming a lot, they will not say a thing. I was using far more than that this summer via the hotspot mod wireless tether, and they never bothered me about it.
nope thats the benefit of having sprint

Like the above posters said you should be ok. I do know someone that was booted from sprint entirely for too much data used while roaming, lol. They get a little upset about that for sure.
Going through a vpn doesn't seem to work anymore. If you're not rooted the hotspot data on the TMobile Myaccount app still increases even when your tablet uses a vpn. And they sent me a message saying hotspot data getting clise to 5GB. Though I used like 40GB already?
Anyone else have that hapoen.

Just change the apn to ipv4 . VPN use just masks if you are using a non android browser if they sniff your browser header.
I as lready had it with ipv4 and I'm using a vpn but whereas before last week t he hotspot data usage didn't increase when I used a vpn but now even with a vpn thr hot as pot data usage increases. Is this happening to anyone else?
