I have a rooted phone and was wondering if there was a work around or something else I am missing that allows you to watch Sprint Tv while roaming? This used to work years ago.... I roam quite a bit each week day.

Just out of curiosity I have had my phone rooted for about 3 months and after switching roms the other day all of a sudden I had very weak. 3g service. Wondering if it could be the software from switching roms or just the phone. Stupid question I know bit still wondering. Thanks

Id like to tether on the Nexus 4 rarely, but it might use a chunk of data. Is there a way to do so without them detecting it? I know a lot of people frown upon asking these questions, but id like to know
Thank you!
Haha! It probably is going to be very difficult without actually hacking into their servers. And once you are caught I doubt the trouble you would get if you get caught will be fun. So in short, maybe if you are a 1337 h4x0r.

So the tethering apps cant spoof the traffic to look like its mobile?
They detect you by sniffing for your browser "User Agent".
1) Use an encrypted VPN tunnel as your default gateway.
2) Use HTTPS URL's
3) Change your browser User Agent
Are 3 ideas that come to mind.
Easy? I'd you enable wireless hotspot under data, it works great! I use it sometimes, never had issues. I had a family emergency last week and my mom literally had to fly to Russia same day we found something out. Long story short I ended up driving to her house and helping her with everything. She had to unlock her iPhone 5 on sprint so that she could get a Sim over there temporarily.
Reset the iPhone and we had to leave to the airport. Since I cloud doesn't do anything over mobile network, I had to make my nexus into a hotspot while we drove, besides tmo is like 100x faster than sprint. Anyway, all was well, at the the end of the day my data usage shows 2gb worth of data, no problems.

I really don't think T-mobile cares as much as you are thinking. I use my phone to tether to my xbox and tablet quite a lot since my wifi sucks, and they haven't said anything. I think it might be that they don't monitor prepaid plans as closely, but what's the worst that could happen?
Without a data plan or without a tethering plan? There are ways to tether without a tethering plan such as VPN.
What if I connected my phone to my home VPN and funneled all traffic through there?
awesome
yesterday i found new galaxy s3 ))))))))
If you don't overdo it, T-Mobile won't bug you.

I'm in Houston Texas on T-Mobile.
It seems it takes a long time to connext to something. Web browsing is ok and instagram takes forever to load pics. I have full bars when this is happening and sometimes on 3g and sometimes on hspa.
I am wondering if the phone is defective or the service is that ****ty
I used to be on tmobile went to Verizon and came back to tmobile.
Vz is way more expensive but now I see why.

Seems like you already made up your mind that it is the service.

Have you tried tmobiles LTE here in Htown? It is better than decent. Ive been using it since they flipped the switch and I must say that the last couple of weeks has been kinda wonky... Hopefully they are just trying to work out the bugs.
Likely the network is clogged. It happens on verizon too like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-VVwPqhXw
Actually, I have a similar issue where if I don't use data for like ten seconds and I try to use it, there's a long delay (long enough to cause a loss of connection on the game Word feud) in which it comes back after like 5-10 seconds. I think that's called latency? I'm not sure and wanted to know if there's a way to fix that lag. Thanks in advance.

Its gotten progressively worse here by the reliant. Its worse than edge speeds even though I'll have full bars. Its annoying to have to carry around my VZW hotspot all the time. It didn't used to be this bad. Maybe its the influx of new iPhone users. Grrrr

No problems here in Tampa Florida. I regularly get approximately 20mbps down all the time except for peak hours, then its usually still around 15 or so. Hope you figure it out.

Yea I mean when I first got the phone it was fine and it just keeps getting worse. Idk I was thinking maybe if it was a setting.

Im not sure why it isnt on the s4 its my biggest let down with this fantastic phone. I did a few search's i havnt seen any fixs. Why has this been removed?
Why would you want to? Hotspot is all you need.

I found it uses way less energy then the wifi hot spot.

Im suprised more people havnt complained about it. With a non mobile network nexus 7 it was very good. Im guessing they took it out cause of slow speed but it still worked great for navigation

Every time you turn on your WiFi you're being logged and tracked.
Spy agency tracked passengers for days through free Wi-Fi
http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/0...wi-fi-at-a-major-canadian-airport-cbc-report/
That's why your carrier allows for WiFi tether but disable Bluetooth tethering to encourage users to use wifi and be tracked by the government.
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.
