Hi,everyone,I need some advises here.
I used my laptop browsing via mobile hotspot 2 days ago, today I received a sms from tmobile asks me to add $15 hotspot program. My laptop can't loading pages anymore,only thing appear on the screen is warning message from tmobile,says I must have mobile hotspot service added in order to use it. I don't wanna pay extra $15 for just using hotspot. Btw,I have 2g data plan already. Is there anyway we could go around it to use hotspot without being caught. Or paying it is only option?
Are you rooted? If you are, Google wireless tether apk, download it, install it and use that instead of the hot spot that comes with the device. Or you can switch to a different custom rom. Those 2 options usually do the trick.
If you're not rooted, then there's nothing you can do but to pay the fees.

Thank you for help!
my phone is rooted, and i did try several wifi tethering app to bypass tmobile, it actually worked.
Barnacle Wifi Tether and another app named Wifi Tether doesn't work in my phone, but one app named Wireless Tether works flawlessly.
Moreover, I have to delete firefox in my laptop and install other version in order to get rid of T-mobile cookies, otherwise tmobile warning page will stay there forever.
Thank you again!

this is one of reasons I use Chrome, even when I wasn't rooted and was using stock Wi-Fi Hotspot I never once received any messages from TMO about adding Hotspot to my account
Has anyone got tethering working for AT&T? I can turn on the native tethering, I can connect to it... But can't use the internet. Also, can't use the app "Wifi Tether for Root." Just got my N4 today, all I've done so far is unlock the bootloader and root it. Everything is stock.
Tethering works perfectly on my N4 on AT&T, all stock no root. internet works on the phone and on the tethered device.
What are your APN settings? May have something to do with it. I can tether just fine and I'm on at&t.

Hi there,
I have a data plan of 500MB with Rogers Canada (on which tethering is not enabled). When I setup my phone as a wifi hotspot (or USB tether), a computer connects to the phone but there is no internet connection. Is this because tethering is not enabled on my sim card? If yes, how can the provider enforce it and is there a workaround for it?
Thanks for your time.

It's most likely your plan that does not offer tethering.
I am on AT&T, have no problem tethering on a stock job 4.2.2 ROM.
What happens when you enable hotspot on your phone?
Also, have you tried other WiFi tethering apps like foxfi?

The connection between the phone and the computer is established but there is no internet connection.
Foxfi doesn't support nexus 4. It force closes when I enable its wifi tethering.

I am trying to use foxfi on my g2 on pacman ROM and when I enable WiFi hotspot, I get a system notification that mobile hotspot is enabled. In the settings menu of pacman under data, I see that mobile hotspot is enabled. Does that mean I will be charged for the data that I tether?
The point of foxfi is to get around Verizons expensive plans but I am not sure if my device will report data usage to Verizon since mobile hotspot under settings must be enabled for it to work.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to tether on this phone without an AT&T data/tether plan? (unrooted)
I've been using this phone on Straight Talk with the AT&T SIM card. I tried using FoxFi and another app to enable a mobile hotspot, but neither of them worked. Gave some error like "Unable to create mobile hotspot"
Is there any way to tether on this phone without rooting?
