Hello, this is noob question, my friend just upgraded his iphone 3g to Samsung galaxy note. He still has the old unlimited data plan, and he wanted use the wifi hot spot, but they told him, in order to use the wifi hotspot feature, he has to give up the unlimited data plan...which he does not want to....is there any way for him to keep the unlimited data plan and use the wifi hot spot feature through rooting and through SU?

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for other users' experience with and using their phone as a mobile hotspot. I'm going to be going on a family vacation in a couple of weeks and I was looking into using my phone as a hotspot so kids can watch netflix while driving or I can hook up a Roku in the room and stream through my phone. The hotel we're going to doesn't have Internet in the rooms from what I can gather, they only have an Internet Cafe' down by the pool.
I only have 1GB of LTE data on my phone since I'm surrounded by WiFi and music streaming is free. I called T-mo and they said I can switch to the unlimited data on my phone for however many days I needed it (pro-rated charge) and that works out well for me. But then when I asked about the hotspot info, I got pretty confused on it. The rep was trying to explain that I could use my own mobile data for hotspot, but it would cap at 5gb of data transfers (which is like 1 HD Netflix movie). Then he tried telling me that there were specific hotspot plans but I needed a special device for that.
So what's the deal? Is it possible to just upgrade to the unlimited lte data plan for my phone line and then have hotspot access and be able to watch more than one or two movies using it as a hotspot? Or is there a special plan that I should be asking to get added? My phone is Tmo S5, rooted, running S&T rom.
I have an unlimited plan that was grandfathered back ages ago. I currently have a Nexus 6p and root it to get wifi hotspot and tether all the time and my provider has never said anything. I really don't see the point in upgrading to the tether plan, but the 6p and other phones I've had always block you from the hotspot unless you PAY for a tether plan. If I intend to not root a phone, how do I go about tethering? Just buy an unlocked version of a phone, or do they still have the issue also? Can any Android phone let you tether without root?
school wifi sucks, which means i need a reliable hotspot tethering speed
Buy the T-Mobile One Plus international plan and you'll get unlimited lte hotspot

use PDANet or EasyTether Pro
T-Mobile One Plus International plan does NOT give you unlimited LTE hotspot, because after you consumer 50GB in a single billing cycle your data will be de-prioratized. You will still get LTE tethering, but the speed of it won't be fast, because the phone itself, even without tethered connection, will be slowed down until next billing cycle start. For the same reasons the suggestion of next poster to use a tethering app like PDANet or EasyTether Pro will only work for the first 50GB consumed. After that your tethered devices will get slow speeds, because the hotspot source itself will be deprioratized on T-Mobile network.
This is my first post and I'm not sure if I'm even in the right place or not but here goes.
I have an old SM-G965U1 and for at least the last 2 years I've been using the hotspot as my primary home internet connection. I have absolutely no idea how but using the hotspot on that phone (and only that phone) I'm able to use an unlimited amount of hotspot data without the speeds ever being throttled. I was under the impression for a long time that it had something to do with my plan. It had the $65/month unlimited prepaid plan when it was still called "GoPhone" so I just assumed that since I always renewed the same plan even after they switched to calling it "ATT Prepaid" that the unlimited hotspot service was somehow grandfathered in.
But it turns out that regardless of what Sim card I put into the phone as long as it's got a plan that has hotspot available (even if it's already reached the hotspot data limit) and the plan is active it will provide unlimited hotspot.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and/or how to replicate the results? I can't find much info on this subject and most of the info I've found is specific to other devices.
