Or you can just change your APNs and use the built in Wifi Hotspot.
Just add a new APN with epc.tmobile.com and name it anything you want. Delete the default TMobile Data. Enjoy free wifi tethering =)

YOU DONT NEED NO APP to tether

Why are u yelling in caplocks? Most people that tether know that already. MrMako posted this cuz my tethering wasn't working for me right away on stock rooted GB so he posted this thinking he can help.
He said in the OP even that he doesn't tether. It will be ok

I'm kind of desperate right now, and am attempting both solutions.
With the Wireless tether, I've got the correct version and settings, but the wireless network disappears when I change the device profile, any suggestions to fix this?
And while the wifi might not be blocked, does this mean that tmobile cannot slow down my service?

Not sure what GB is, but I've used apn manager to erase the default APN, and made a new one reading "epc.tmobile.com" as the new APN.
And will either of these methods stop t-mobile from slowing down my service?

Well according to TMOB you will need to pay $15.00 per month for that feature to work. But I read in some other post that if you clear the APN type and Authentication type from the T-mobile APN, then it works.

Ok, wait a minute...
When I go into my APN settings, there are two listed, "T-Mobile Data" and T-Mobile MMS".
Did you just remove those entries altogether? Or did you just delete the text in the APN Type in the T-Mobile Data APN?
EDIT:
Ok, I got it. Delete the APN entry for "T-Mobile MMS". Then, go into the "T-Mobile Data" APN settings and clear all the entries from the "APN Type" field, it should read "<not set>".
Yup it works......FINALLY

Tether was not working before the apn edit.
After the apn edit the tether worked... for about 200 mb of standard web usage.
About 100mb through T-Mobile pushed a message to my cell (showed up as a globe with a "w" on it in the status bar) saying that I needed to subscribe to a Tethering and Data plan else my service may be interrupted (or something similar).
I continued on and in the middle of submitting my report through a secured service it just stuck there as though I lost data connection. I opened up a new page and it took me to the offers.tmobile.com page. From that point on I lost my tethering abilities.
This morning I was so desperate for my tethering I went ahead and subscribed. The alternative is my work Sprint data card.

I was just informed that on the SGS2, they frooze the app "Tethering Manager" with titanium backup. Can any of you rooted guys try this and confirm whether it works on the Amaze too? If so im sure we can just leave that apk out of future rom builds and be perfect!
i will look into that or just rebuild it from the other leaks i have
Tether via Bluetooth DUN?
Can anyone report whether it's possible to tether via Bluetooth Dial-Up-Networking? Does the Amaze support that particular Bluetooth profile?
If so, does tethering that way invoke the TMobile upsell screens, or does the browsing work without problems.
The easiest way to activate DUN would be to use PDAnet, and connect via bluetooth from a DUN-client device.
I can do this easily from my TMo N1, but I'm curious to know whether this is a way around the tethering problems people are having.

It will work with that error, but not full functionality as intended.
"Access-control feature. Allow/deny clients to use your mobile-data connection."
So, does this keep AT&T from detecting it and force you into a tethering plan?

It's a better solution than using the APN method, but nothing will ever be 100% fullproof.

is this something that AT&T would be able to see?
and, if so, is there a different/better alternative so that i may be able to use my lapdock?

Maybe a dumb question... but whats the difference between this and using the built in feature with CM7?
Thanks!!
If you use an APN method the carrier can see the extra hop you take through packet sniffing. All network traffic has a TTL, (Time To Live), which is different for mobile devices and laptops. You carrier receives packets from your device, but since the packets come from your laptop, then pass through your device, they can see this packet difference. It is possible to "modify" the TTL, and if I understand correctly apps such as WiFi Tether are in effect showing the packets as coming from your device, so the TTL is seen as normal by your carrier.

Verizon Galaxy Note 2 Locked Sim Card - And for what it is worth

It is not new that Verizon Galaxy Note 2 sim card is locked.
And today I gave it a try anyway... It is sort of locked, but not completely...
Basically I plugged into a T-Mobile prepay card I can MAKE PHONE CALL instantly without any issue. But See no data connection, obviously.
The warning message "non-verizon sim card detected" is there but it is not blocking anything .
SO it is kind of locked in data , but not voice. If it means to someone still. It certainly means a lot to me. Because previously when I have ATT HTC-ONE X, it is locked completely meaning you can't bypass the unlock simcard screen to use the phone.
SO now At least I know I can use it in other countries for voice, if I have a local sim card, which is good for me most of the time.
Of course if you can't live with data in other country's 3G/4G this means nothing to you. Please ignore. Otherwise, for some travelers, this may help to clarify.

I think I read somewhere you have to change APN settings to get your data up. You'll probably only pull edge though.

For some place (like NYC), if you can unlock it, TMobile is also having 4G. it all depends on where TMobile activated its AWS 1700 band.
Good to know we can at least make voice calls. Leaving the SIM unlocked is one of the few nice things Verizon has done recently.
You need to update the APN settings to get data coverage for non-Verizon SIM cards. Calls and SMS doesn't require this.
So that means if I change the apn my tmobile sim can work immediately? Or Verizon blocked the ability to edit apn?

Unfortunately no. Was hoping it would be different with a non-Verizon SIM. Maybe it'll let you do it when you change the network mode.

Hope it does. Perhaps it's a different dialer code.
It is already unlocked. If it were locked, you couldn't put the SIM in and make calls. The only thing we need to find to have it fully working is how to add/edit the APN info so that you could get data service.

I dont have a note to try this with but I have been sucessful with my GS3 on Jelly bean. Purchase Titanium backup pro, and Download HiApn or APN manager pro. You'll first have to set your APN managing app as a system app before it will be able to edit the APN in Jelly bean. Of course this will require root. My carrier of choice for my GS3 happens to be on H2O, who has their own configurator app, and it claims to not work on Android 4.0+ but I was able to set it as a system app as well and was able to get functioning data. Check out the GS3 forums for further assistance. Hope this helps. Also, seems like I remember reading somewhere in the GS3 forums as well that they had the Non Verizon SIM notification as well. It wasn't locked.

The phone is already fully SIM unlocked. There's just not a way to change the APN in the stock settings in order to get data working. This can be done with root access.
The non-Verizon SIM message is likely there to notify you that you aren't pay excess fees for international coverage like you would if you were using VZW's international plan.

Remove Carrier label and Get Stock Signal Bars/Icons

GOT IT Spent 4 hours on this! I mainly wanted to REMOVE that 4G/4G LTE AT&T Icon that is used I hate it, I want the H,H+, LTE/4G standered icons.
In the Build Prop I changed the following in Build Prop
ro.product.device=jflte
ro.product.model=GT-I9505
ro.product.name=jfltexx
And thats it! No more Carrier Label on the top left, and Orginal 3G,H+,LTE Icons like on the international device!!!

Is there any problems with keeping that build.prop setup? Like do any apps not work anymore?
Here is the original build.prop: (if anyone needs it)
ro.product.device=jflteatt
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
ro.product.name=jflteuc

Nice! that at&t label was really annoying!
I don't mind it that much. But I just hated the data icons

Carrier label/original bars works OK for me doing the following:
ro.product.device=jflte
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
ro.product.name=jfltexx
Despite OPs post probably having no adverse side affects, I feel a little more comfortable using the above just in case some random app expected my product.model to return something else or to target it for something else.
No big deal.
Thanks OP! Loving not having that stupid label.
Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, OP!

Your Welcome!
Can someone post a screenshot of the icons? I know it's easy enough to change and change back but wanted to look at what they look like before editing build.prop unnecessarily. Thanks.
Now the phone shows H , H+ for 3G and a 4G , all with two up/down color arrows under ( standard AOSP).
Funny , now the truth reveals, there isn't any LTE where I live .. it's H+ and up to 8Mbit/Sec (but I knew that before removing the hideous 4G LTE symbol) . Been to W. Hollywood today and 4G showed up , and 16Mbit/Sec speeds.. Not a surprise. LTE will be spread slowly, and will never be 100M per user (all it takes is broadband share between multiple users , ans bandwith limiting). Another reason to have WiFi hotspot service by AT$T running on the I337 all the time without asking us, to make sure one does not use LTE if free WiFi is available.. Well, with 10Giga plan I rather run 15Mbit/Sec LTE than 1Mbit/Sec hotspot.. Thanks for rooting, and freezing apps...

Not showing for me. Even after I login. Not sure why.
This must only work with the stock touchwiz launcher. I no longer have carrier label but my data icons are still touchwiz defaults.

I dont think adblocker has ANYthing to do with what the person is saying.. This person is wanting something changed that this was not supposed to change.
