I use standard app embedded in my phone by default. I noticed, that for some mobile operators it does not work. I live in Europe and when I try Lycamobile it does not work or work very bad with many delays and interruption. When I insert to the same phone Vodafone simcard, it works perfect. In your case if you can try to use another sim card you can try. At Least you will know, if problem in your phone/software or at&t.

I've done that but it did not work even though in stock rom or cook rom.
Could also possibly be a problem with the network... Masts do break down. Have you tried your sim in a different phone?

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?

I have unlimited data, which caps at 500mb, I'm looking for unrestricted native tethering....

From searching around XDA, your biggest problem is that T-Mobile seems pretty decent at detection unlike some other carriers. I tethered for years on att and never had a problem. There are ways, but nearly all of them have reports of eventually ending up at the T-Mobile upsell page.

Correct but you can use user agent on the browser to make it work. Tmobile detects when using on a computer but not on mobile. I used to change the user agent to safari on mac and it always worked of course. Having a mod to do tethering unlimited

[Q] D802 intermational 32gb - cannot share internet via hotspot

As per title really. Completley stock phone using a Tmobile uk sim.
Sim creates valid hotspots on other phones and other sim cards also are unable to share internet. Hotspot is created but any connecting devices report no internet.
The phone is a grey import, apparently from korea if that helps.
Everything else is working fine.
Really need to get it sorted as i use a tablet and qpair. Ive tried both qpair and standalone hotspots to no avail.
Any ideas? Ideally i dont want to root, or need to unroot after as i use apps like sky go that wont run if rooted.
Thanks
Anyone? Any suggestions?

Sounds like a hardware fault to me. Have you tried s factory reset? Other than that not sure there is much you can try.

Umm i sometimes have the same problem with my G2. If I don't have any security (as in no password and encryption) there's never a problem.

Was your phone on 5.1 when you activated on page plus? I activated yesterday but the phone won't stay connected to the network. It will say verizon wireless with some bars and a exclamation point for a minute then it will just go to no bars and searching for service.

the activation went smooth but the phone won't stay connected to Verizon network service. I put it on airplane mode for a few seconds, go back to mobile data and it will say Verizon wireless again for a few seconds but then it will just go back to searching for service. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help. After taking out my sim and re-entering it a couple times, everything is working fine. The service is very good.
