So essential, people have been getting my text anywhere from instantly to a half hour later. It only happens with my TB, never with my DInc. Rooted and running the stock debloated ROM. Anyone have a clue what's going on? Will try with 3G only and with WiFi and without WiFi.

Are you experiencing any issues?
Yesterday around 3pm I used my phone as a modem for my laptop and it worked fine no issues. But later on at night around 9pm when I tried using the internet it would keep redirecting me to the T-Mobile Tethering Plan page stating I had to now pay for that service.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Is there a way around this issue?
Btw I am rooted and using Bionix 1.3.1
Might be the Rom you are using! I am using Axura 2.3.1.3 Voodoo Rom and have no issues. Try using a different Rom! Had that same issue when using stock froyo Rom!

Just tested on trigger in houston, tx and am not being redirected so far Lol.
when did you sign your contact with t mobile?
Ive never had that happen and ive been tethering forever, granted i dont go overboard with it and use it sparingly. How much do you tether? if its alot that may be the cause.
No problem here either.
Thanks guys for your inputs.
I use every other day so yea its often I use it but not for long periods of times..
I'll post up a link to a pic of my laptop screen so you guys can see what it saids.
My freinds wife got that same message using easytether on her mytouch slide. It looks like our ride is over on tethering, it was just a matter of time.

I got the message like 3 times but I could still use my mobile AP with no issues... think that was on simply galaxy 1.0 se.
I use it. Oh yea, I use it hard. I have not had any issue and hope I never do

I notice everytime I turn my Wifi on, the 4g Icon still shows. However my speeds run at wifi speeds. The 4g icon will occasionally disappear but comes back from time to time. I'm running the rooted stock rom.
Is there a reason for this?
Thanks in advance.
Ive noticed this sometimes also, i just check off mobile network if i have wifi on, just to be safe, and it goes away.

That was my question as well. I just got the phone coming from evo but haven't root it yet. So, I'm running stock without root and have the same thing. Could anyone chime in on that?

I run juicedefender so I don't have this issue, but they both show if in on WiFi and download an mms message, it only downloads through 4g so it cones in long enough to download the message and goes away.
I have same issue weird thing is my wife has same phone and hers never comes up when connected to WiFi. Only when a picture is coming through how ever mine won't go away at all its annoying
I'm stock no root

I am guessing you guys have tmo my account app installed. This is a crappy app and uses 4g (apparently to make a secure connection) even when WiFi is on. So whenever you see 4g and WiFi both, just goto running services in settings and stop my account app and 4g icon should go away.
Getting rid of this app and other bloat is one of the main reasons for me to root this phone.

I do have the tmo my account app installed and noticed the same thing. Now i know why it does it! Thanks for sharing the knowledge chem
my tethering seems very unreliable. im using the latest wifi tether apk but thats irelevant as i have used many versions but the problems persist. allow me to explain, im in no way new to android nor tethering. i have followed all the steps to get 4g tethering speeds ( toggle data off, disable 4g re enable and so on) the thing is i cant get a stable connection from my laptop or my xoom for more than 20 mins. the connection either goes idle or the phone just restarts or i simply get disconnected from it. im just wondering whether it' s just me or whether this a common problem among photon users. many thanks and great forum.

I believe the 4G on your phone becomes idle. Just a guess.
I have heard this happens to other Photon users as well. Not sure what the cause of it is or the fix. I'm going to try some things out when I get time and see what mine does. I've never tried to tether for that long of time before. Will post back if I find out anything new.
**I can only test 3G. No 4G in my area.
Are you rooted or using a rom?
**Ignore this (my) post...had something but changed my mind***
thanks. yes rooted & stock

i can torrent nd get bout 10+ mbps download running through tether for 3 hours no problem. could even get on gears of war on my xbox while tethering no lag no problem
favorite tethering app- open garden tethering (easy and you can lower the transmit power for huge battery life increase, i keep mine on the lowest available) but wifi tether if i need specific settings
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
thanks for your reply. im so jealous lol i do also get very fast speeds the only prob is that is they are not consistent. phone either reboots or drops the connections. i will try the app you mentioned also
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
maybe think about visiting the store you bought it from or a sprint repair store..? ive never had problems with tethering even being rooted on my htc hero tethering was easy as pie at 2-3mps(3G) or rsdlite the latest spf maybe?

Year I found that out too ..
Also if you start wifi tether first,
then turn on 4g ...
4g tether works for me using
wifi tether 2.06

honestly open garden tethering works flawlessly for me, i have problems with every other app usually
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
So I've has this ongoing issue and it never really bugged me until today, and want to see if anyone has any ideas. Sometimes (more often then not) I am unable to activate 4g on my photon. It simply refuses to start the radio whether its done via widget on home screen or settings. The 4g icon will flash for a half second then goes away. The only way to fix is to either kill all tasks (including system tasks using systempanel) or a phone shut down and reboot. Now, I understand it might be an app interfering with it, but I don't know what it would be. I am rooted stock, and i do have roam control, although this did happen to me before I got roam control I believe.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do you tether with it? I get the same thing whenever I tether with 4g. Usually a reboot also does the trick for me too.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I do Tether but not regularly. Its not because wifi tether is just installed at all is it?
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
I have the exact same 4g radio issue. I do have wifi tether installed but rarely use it. Happens to me every few days and rebooting is the only thing that had worked for me. I've tried clearing out ram but I usually end up having to reboot to fix it. Very annoying!
{edit} I'm on stock 198_6 rooted.

So, been running Viper (current ota) since the get-go, with whatever the radio package was recommended for this rom. Anywho, I noticed lately that when my texts are hanging (GoSms), the 3G indicator is not lit-up. The texts do not usually send till after it's lit up. I have full bars. Anything I can do?
