Try using a user agent switcher in Chrome. Choose the Nexus One option if it's available. It may work.

I cant download anything with Google chrome browser.how do I put a different browser on my laptop and what browser would you recommended. Thanks

I have been beating my head against the wall with this for 3 days.I can't believe that I haven't figured out how to bypass it yet.I have tried everything.

When it didn't work for me, I stopped using hotspot for a while. During that time I used WiFi to install a UA switcher for Firefox and Chrome.... Just decided to try hotspot tether again yesterday, streamed nearly a gig of videos perfectly fine

Pass tmobile unlimited wifi hotspot bloock
this is my method. others my create threads bout it,but its mine!
1.download a vpn to your phone from the market(idc what you use)
2.turn it on (go figure)
3.turn on wifi hotspot
4. on firefox or chrome (if you arent using those,get one) download a user agent switcher.
5.switch user agent to another android device,others can work,but this way is always works
6. turn off vpn.
if you did everything correctly,you can tether still. this is how im writing this
The Vpn can be optional if you already can download a ua switcher. I only used it, cause I got blocked an that was the only way around it, that I could think of.
Its by a xda membr. Nt me

have you tried vpn one click? Connect to there random option which is free..Never had an issue s2 s3 exhibit 2...i have paid vpn so havnt used it for 2 weeks though....
Chrome UA switcher on safari or ios5 never failed for me without vpn
exhibit had to use garden tether app, and the others I uses Trev Mod Wifi Tether apk

the vpn or the tethering app disconnects?
have you tried any other roms? You could try making an generic apn or use the alternate gateway...
go into ur data settings then apn settings create new any name and insert the epc.tmobile.com addy
If using firefox ua switcher I used vista ua's......opera vista never failed me
are you using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 ?
it says wifif tether works and it would be best for yourself and or dev to ask in their thread because some of the settings to change may work some and not work at all for other devices...
if i were you id backup then flash other roms after posting in the respective rom thread....see if its rom, android version, all the simple stuff

I'm sorry I wont post no more threads.so everyone for my ignorant spamming.

ur not spamming by any means...its just really hard to troubleshoot unless you. have the device in your hands
good thing is if you have data then there should be a way....
what was disconnecting the tether app or the vpn app?
if tether app then one of ur settings is not right and if it the vpn then youll have to check the other free and see if you cant get any of them to work.....maybe the tun.ko installer for droid vpn but idk if that helps
can you usb tether while ua blocking?

Rooting the stock rom does not give you free hotspot capabilities. The stock os has a way of knowing if you try using 3rd party wi-fi hotspot apps from the Market and Verizon may send you a nasty letter to cease doing that.
There are however a bunch of custom ROMs that will allow you to use your Droid X as a mobile hotspot without getting hit by Verizon with the nasty letter and/or an additional $30/month hotspot charge.
If you really love the stock os and still want to have free wi-fi hotspot/tether capability then you could use a custom sbf file created by user wugfresh over at the droidxforums website. I don't think I can give you the link here but you can do a Google search for "WugPacked GB Tether Patch" and it should come up as the first link in your search results.
I've used this for a while in the past and it worked great for me.
Okay. Thanks.

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.
Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol
So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!

Are you using the built-in tethering app? Do you ever get redirects to the t-mobile upsell page when you use tethering on your computer?
For me, I can't even connect on my computer without either using Opera Browser or a UA-String change in Firefox. But I cannot do anything to make the PS3 not detect that I'm on t-mobile and block my connection. The PSN connection just "times out" because t-mo is blocking it.
Arrgghh
Edit: just saw you are in Beirut, not even on T-Mo USA I'm assuming lol. That could be why you have luck and I don't. DAMNIT!
I'd try using a 3rd party tether app. Namely the one that has its own google code page.

I have had similar issues tethering my PS3.
Carrier: T mobile 70/month unlimited plan
Phone: Nexus 4
Initially, tethering worked for all PS3 applications (PSN, browser, netflix, system update). Then, they blocked PSN activity after a month or so. A few months later they blocked browser, but I could still use netflix and do system updates. Now nothing works. I have tried to use a wifi repeater in between the PS3 and Nexus 4 but still no dice, though I did not experiment too much with settings?
Id love to get my PS3 back online.

You guys really shouldn't use your phone data's download to download updates or games. Just use it to play online. It doesn't use up bandwidth to play. Heck I can play black ops 2 for an hour with tether and I use up like 30mb an hour. If you use it for downloading you're really going to have a red flag on your account.

Native Hotspot Working

Just wanted to put this out there since I haven't seen anyone talking about it yet.
I was working with a friends ATT Note 3. I rooted it for him and then began working on modding the native hotspot. When I went to make the smali edits I saw that they were already there. So I fired up the hotspot and it worked. I am assuming this is also true if you are completely stock unrooted but didn't check first.
So if you have not rooted yet please test your hotspot and let us know the results. If you are rooted then the hotspot is definitely open.

That is odd. Maybe his account is messed up. Because he swears he never paid for the hotspot. But the mod which makes the native hotspot work on Sprint devices is already included in the rooted system, again didn't verify the non rooted system. So not sure what is up.

When you turn on your hotspot, if you get a message to call at&t, just press the home button (don't press ok). This should work for you, as it worked for me and many others. And the guy on the previous page that said "press the hinge button", he ment the home button.

Confirmed. Works and is so simple to activate and configure. Changed my network name to "click here for virus"
Wifi hotspot should work out of the box if you have any mobile share plan. The only group of people who will need any type of third party mode will be those with the grandfathered unlimited. AT&T does not allow hotspot on the unlimited.
Try barnacle wireless tether for root user's
