I've used xfinity player, xfinity connect, xfinity my tv apps for years. They initially worked on my Note 3 unrooted mje. Now I cannot sign in to any of them. I keep getting an Internet connection error. I can log in through browser so nothing wrong with Internet connection. I just cannot log in to any of the xfinity apps. Yes I know my user name and password or I couldn't log in through browser. Anyone else able to try logging out then logging in to see if yours works?
Thanks for your help!

I am using the Xfinity TV app with no problems. Rooted, Beans build 5 which is mje based. Have you tried cleaning cache? If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstall.
Yup. Tried all the usual stuff. I cant log in to any xfinity app now. Xfinity reset my password but it didn't help. I need someone stock mje to log out and in to see what happens. Preferably someone who also uses caller id app. Since it runs 4g and wifi simultaneously I wonder if it screws up login protocols somehow. I did try freezing the app and 4g turned off but still couldn't log in even through wifi. Weird.

MJE, rooted, CallerID frozen. Logged out and then logged back in with no problems.

I appreciate the input. Baffled. I actually use caller ID but to be sure that it wasn't a conflict I shut it off and tried again to no avail . Xfinity even tried resetting my password but no dice. I dread a system reset without root. I've forgotten every problem and every solution involved but I remember there were some. I can't imagine there is something wrong with my phone that only effects one app. All my others I fine and I can log in to Xfinity apps on ipad and maxx hd

Have ypu tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app? How many other devices? Registered download devices limited to just 3.

I wonder if caller ID app could screw up xfinity log in? Does anyone have active caller ID and xfinity tv go? Of course Caller ID keeps 4G awake even with wifi on and maybe that screws up their log in protocols? I know xfinity app used to work before but even when I froze caller ID and I do pay for it I still couldn't log in to xfinity. It's got to be some app interfering but I can't imagine what. I deleted anti virus but that made no difference. I logged out and in on max hd again. It's frustrating.

Been using my Google provided wifi hotspot feature since the n1 including up until about an hour ago when I got the pleasant message on my laptop screen that in order to use my phone as a hotspots I need to pay T-Mobile $15 per month. Anyone else have this happen and are there any known workarounds? Running bugless beast pixel edition.

How long were you using your hot spot? I quickly browsed a bit on my tablet to see if I'd get a message but didn't. I'm running CM9 on my phone.

There is a similar post in the HTC One S forum with a fix. Just added a new APN with nothing but epc.tmobile.com in the config and it seems to have fixed the problem......for now anyway.
Just got throttled again with the new apn settings. Looks like it may be time for a clear card.

Change the name of your wifi hotspot and it should fix it. Worked for me when I got that message.

damn a day late. Called Tmobile and after talking with customer loyalty just ended up paying for it. They did however give it to me for $10 instead of $15 and didn't make me extend my contract. I will probably end up getting a clear card for internet now and calling them back to cancel the hotspot feature. Good to know about your fix though.
happened to me too, running stock rom, i'll try the name change method later

I did this:

3)Portable Wi-fi hotspot settings
4) Where is says Router name (SSID): I change the original name.
I did not work.
Is that what you meant when you say Change the name of your wifi h.s.? If not I could use a little help. Thanks
Well its now happened to me.
I'm running Mark V ICS ROM with CM9 and used Barnacle... was tethering my laptop then all the sudden I got the txt from T-Mo about adding or be blocked... so I scrambled and try to find device manager to freeze it...buy can't find it anywhere. Now I got a message saying my tethering is blocked.
Does anyone know what system app or process is reporting? Like I said...I froze device manager in other phones and it worked...just can't find it on this one

changing your settings won't help to work around throttling.
apparently you need to stop using chrome as your browser.
I read somewhere also, that tmobile can't tell you are tethering if you are on a mac.
EDIT
{Seems that it is false that tmobile can tell if you are on a mac, but it does appear to be true that tmobile can tell when you tether if you use the wrong browser in the device you are tethering to. So it doesn't matter if you change your settings or you get a different tethering app - just use a safe browser}

Still no work around? Its not about the throttling... its about using the hotspots feature and the data we already pay for and something built in ad a feature of the phone.

it seems that T-Mobile has blocked the use of wifi hotspot
try another app here (via USB)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEudGV0aGVyIl0.
I just got the tethering block after I installed Google Chrome on my laptop which was weird so I went back to using internet explorer and I'm not blocked. I gave the Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.0.4.
I'm using AOKP ROM Build 37. I just tethered Wifi Hotspot to my A100 tablet, it's accessing the internet just fine using Boat Browser. Other apps connecting to the internet just fine too. Wonder if only the stock "T-Mobile" ROMs that have the tethering blocked.
I personally think it's unethical for carriers/providers to charge extra for mobile hotspot. After all I'm paying the 2GB or 3GB or 5GB so I should be able to use it.. Hope for a class action suit against the carriers for such unethical practice to gouch more money from the consumers..
Edited: I use ROM Toolbox and change the DNS on the tablet to Google DNS for it to work. The default DNS did not work.
Use Safari in Mac
I am using Nexis One for more than two years and yesterday I go the t-mobile hotspot message. I initially thought maybe I am over 1GB and they are doing this. After reading this thread, I changed the SSID and tried with Chrome on MAC and I still had the error. I tried with Safari on MAC and I can use the hotspot. I am writing this using Nexus one hotspot with Safari on Mac.
I was pretty pissed when I noticed that they did this yesterday with my G2. C'mon T-Mobile, this is an old phone that isn't going to get the bells and whistles of ICS. At least you can let us have this! I'm running stock but am now considering moving to CM7. Does anyone know if WiFi hotspot works, with chrome, using CM7 on t-mobile?
I'm also wondering if it has anything to do with the browser agent. In remember being able to change a browser agent with desktop chrome and Firefox through an addon. Does anyone know how to do that with tablet chrome? I only know how to switch between mobile and desktop but that doesn't appear to make a difference
Well..I got hit about a week ago and was blocked..funny thing...I flashed a new ROM and when I tried it again..I used internet explorer...was blocked....then I tried FireFox and boom. I'm back on
Running a week now on new ROM and using hotspots tethering for my laptop and my wife's iphone. Kids iPod and daughters iphone and still running strong
Odd isn't it?

Every browser except chrome are working for me on stock. Have you been able to run ICS on something connected to your t-mobile phone, via WiFi hotspot, and use chrome to browse the web? I'm trying to see if a custom ROM restores this capability
I run ICS..but I don't use Chrome
On a side note..I was also running another ICS custom ROM with different kernel when I initially got blocked.

Hi,
I am running Android JellyBean 4.2.1. Nexus 32GB WiFi only version (UK).
Even thou the signal bar on tablet is full 4 bars and I got a stable fibre optic broadband connection, my nexus 7 tablet is for some reason randomly showing what i think looks like an explanation mark that grows bigger on the network bars. It's happening allot and although it seems to be connected to the net it seems to stop sending/receiving data/network traffic and I get timeout errors and I unable to connect but then a few refreshes and all work again. Its happening often.
Anyone know of any known problems, bugs etc and possibly a solution ? I found a thread on Google about people having this problem and people thinks its software related.
Thanks for any help/advice!

Did you do the clear Framework data to force the last OTA? If so, you will have to delete your Google account, reboot and sign back in to your google account and sign into Play. It will work again.
Hi,
I did what you said exactly several times and so far no connection errors in play and web browser but webpages and play content takes quite a while several seconds to load webpages and play content from play app sometimes have to refresh for it to work. My connection is fibre optic 38mbps so it should load faster.
Any possible solutions ?
Thank you,

I think it is the 4.2 update. It is causing all sorts of problems.

Hi,
I think it maybe, did not have this before update I don't think anyway. Using apps that uses my internet connection is becoming a nightmare as hardly loads internet content and have to refresh or close app and open again and try loading internet content again. I thought clearing data on Google Framework and removing Google account fixed it but it hasn't.
Great tablet shame about the OS.
Thanks

Your connection speed on the N7 is determined by your wifi speed and bandwidth, not your fiberoptic connection. Sounds like you would benefit from a factory/data reset. If rooted and you have Titanium Backup, you could do a full backup before the fdr and restore bookmarks, game data, and sms messages afterward. There are also apps on Play that will backup/restore this kind of data. Just don't restore any system data. Your apps can be restored from Play if they don't automatically restore.
my WiFi speed is 65mbps so plenty fast enough, think a factory reset will be needed. Always into rooted or anything.
Thanks!

Hi,
I did a factory data reset via recovery method, wiped cache before hand then installed my apps again but manually, by this I mean I did not let Google restore anything from backups it makes on it servers.
So far everything appears to be OK fingers crossed.
It seems after updating to 4.2.1 it would be good idea for people to do a factory data reset if they are having problems as this has so far not given me any problems as of yet like previously, I will monitor it over the next few days and post back if it stays like this or goes back to being a nightmare. So far everything feels great and works as expected, all bugs seems to have vanished, for now anyway, only time will tell now.
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated!

I have used the same settings for this app on the S3, and Note 2, however it fails on the Note 3. Anyone know what settings to use to get it to work?
I'm not sure man, I was using on my n2 as well but I assumed I needed to be rooted to run it on the n3, I could be wrong, that's just what I assumed but then I read about people using the Foxfi app from the play store and it working great so I gave it a shot and it's done good by me so far, however I haven't ran it longer than about an hour so far. And the only trick to get it working is once u download the app and turn hotspot/tethering on, you will get a pop up saying u need to set it up with verizon or something along those lines, DO NOT hit cancel, instead just push the home button and you'll have mobile hotspot working. I use it to give wifi to my nexus 7.2 that's installed in my dash of my car and I run Google maps n music all the time. So far so good, but like I said I do need to give it the test of time still and see how it holds after a few hours of use. Hope this helps ya maybe? I agree though, I'm Def a fan of the TrevE mod wifi. It always ran fantastic.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Yes, wifi tether / treve mod needs root. I am currently using it with the S3, waiting for GN3 to be delivered. In the past, I would either post questions on wifi tether forum or email the development team, which generally resolved any issues that arose. Maybe someone already has it working on another carrier? Should check ATT, T-Mobile and Sprint GN3 forums
Im sure the settings probably just need to be configured slightly different from the N2 to get it to work! TrevE is my go to tether app...the stock hotspot sucks imo.
bump... I'd like to see this working too. It's nice to see how much data and what speed you are getting. I have yet to get WiFi Tether working on any variant of Android 4.3 though.
You don't need any apps. configure wifi hot spot then turn it on. A Verizon pop up comes up about wifi hot spot subscription, don't press cancel. Done.
Cancel turns it off the hotspot, just press the home key and that's it.

It is my experience that Wifi Tether has always been more stable than the Verizon app, I get constant drops with it.
Sprint Galaxy 4S
I use Sprint's Hotspot on my unrooted phone to view a Java operated stock market viewer on my laptop (Yahoo Market Tracker). The program worked fine until I switched from Galaxy 2s to 4s. The program runs fine through cable broadband wi-fi at home on two laptops. I have identical laptop security settings for the home wifi and the Sprint HotSpot. There has always been enough bandwith to run the program from hotspot before. Sprint will not help me with the problem, and refuses to tell me what the issue is. Is it likely to be security settings on the phone itself?
If so, any help accessing and changing these setting would be greatly appreciated.
Do you PAY for Sprint's hotspot service?
Yes

Cool. If you are paying for the HotSot service, on an unrooted/unmodifed device, Sprint IS responsible for your service(s) or lack of.
Only issue I would see would be that your laptop is blocking something from the tether/hotspot. Do you have a third party firewall/AV blocking something? Maybe try disabling it for a moment and see if that works.
You may need to add specific DNS to your laptop (to get around Sprints) like Googles (8.8.8.8). But since Sprint and Yahoo are friendly I don't know if that would make a difference.
Good luck.
Thanks!
This should give me more leverage in negotiating with sprint. On the laptop (windows 8.1), the security settings are identical for the hotspot and my home broadband wifi (and I have tried with all security off). Since the program ran fine under the hotspot on galaxy s2, I was thinking something was blocking the program within the S4 itself such as a router setting or some other obnoxious ware Sprint puts on the phone.

Sounds like you found the magic answer, however, your SIM card may only be provisioned for data only. Take the SIM out of your phone and try it.

in looking at the user manuals it appears the T337T does not have an additional microphone (for speaking into as in a phone call) unlike the T335 which does. This indicates to me that the T337t could not be used as a phone even if someone managed to get the phone app, modem etc all to work together (unless microphone arrangements were changed and even at that would not be worth the trouble-unlikely it would work well-as the folks using CM/AOSP on such tablet phone devices-no solution for echo issue due to speaker/microphone config)
