Hey all,
What's the best / more reliable means to tether on the AT&T HTC One m8?
I've been trying with the Wifi Tether app but no luck on the right config yet. Also, it's probably worth mentioning that I'm on the Skyfall ROM (fully rooted, s-off, etc.)
Thanks!

What's "built in" is pretty reliable. You might consider concentrating on getting the "built in" to work instead of adding another layer of complexity. Which firmware is "skyfall" based on? (perhaps give a link to the dev thread.)

isn't there a charge for the built-in functionality?

Are you using the stock AT&T firmware? If so, then your account has to be provisioned for tethering. There are ways around this... Also, depending on which data plan you have with AT&T, tethering might be included.

I'm using the Skyfall ROM so I don't think so... (unsure really).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702074
I'll play with it some more - I had made the assumption that if I used the "stock / built-in" feature there would be a charge for it and it sounds like that's not the case.
Thanks guys!
Testing
So I'm doing some testing using the built in app and it appears that while it works, I think AT&T might be throttling the connection.
I tested using a Bluetooth tether connection as well as using a Wifi Tether.
I'm both cases, I'm getting rougly 1.5-2 mbps download and 1 mbps upload speeds in my tests. Despite when I'm using the bluetooth tether having access to a Wifi network that's capable of 100 mbps up and down.
I'm using a 2013 macbook air to test with which has Bluetooth v4.2.
I believe it's throttled because I'm seeing nearly the same rates with both bluetooth and Wifi tethering. I definitely know the Wifi connection is much, much faster. For example, if I disconnect the Tether and connect directly to the Wifi AP, I get 96 mbps down and 47 mbps up.
Is there a mod to remove the throttle or an alternative?

What is installed on the phone is not going to dictate whether AT&T finds out if you are tethering or not. The stock AT&T ROM will simply block tethering if you don't have a tethering plan. Tethering hack or simply installing any non-AT&T based ROM circumvents this. I just use the stock WiFi hotspot application.
Can't say whether they throttle tethered data or not. But my gut feeling is no. And again, any such measures would likely be network based, and probably can't be circumvented simply by using a different tethering app.
What is your data speed when not tethering (measure on the phone)?
AT&T's way for detecting tethering isn't based on what app you use for it... It's based on packet header examination. If you only use it occasionally, they usually won't look. (I used it for years without being detected... but only very lightly.)

Hi,
maybe it is a stupid question, but how do they (verizon) technically find out that someone tether over 3G, when you have a unlimited data plan (3G) and use 3G normaly from your phone to download? What is the difference between the data that comes over 3G when I download the same pdf to phone or over wifi/3G tether to the iPad ? It makes no sense to me.
Thanks for your answers
The amount of data you use is one method. The other is that they are building in tethering monitoring to the kernels that sends a message to the system that you're tethering.
I know for the DX/D2 the leak of GB from Verizon actually had a tether detection and every time you tried to tether, weather it was barnicle or wireless tether it would redirect you to Verizons website and asked if you wanted to tether to pay another fee ....idk if it will happen with this phone is VZ does decide to push out a GB for us ...

The Fascinate has "hidden" tether protection that we have bypassed thanks to the kernel sources, but it is there in the stock kernel.

Either a program/service within the framework, or a special command/method is used to notify the network that you're tethering.
But if we are using a ROM such as Evil Fascination or Community then they wouldn't be able to tell because of the custom kernels that come with them right?
Yes, the custom kernels all have it bypassed as far as I am aware. At least we think that we have bypassed it.
Thanks for the information, its very interesting . If I am understand it right, there is a part of it in the ROM and a second in the kernel. They have to work together, if one of the parts missing like in a custom kernel it prevent the phone from sending ?

hopefully they dont change it where that tethered usage is automatically added to your bill. im on comm rom so it shouldnt affect me but those that arent should be careful or consider a custom rom
from what I had read at one time on ATT's tethering crackdown, the system was easily able to tell due to one little piece... the TTL.
here's a quote and more info on it... probably pertains to verizon as well.
For all you wondering how they can tell:
All IP packets have something called a TTL associated with them. It stands for Time To Live. Every "hop" along the network from one router to the next reduces the TTL by one. When it reaches 0, the packet is dropped. This was introduced to keep routing problems from overloading the network. If for example, by some error a packet was going around in a circular path, the TTL would eventually reach 0 and prevent a packet storm.
The thing is, ALL routing devices do this. OSes use standard TTLs. For example, let's say both your iPhone and laptop use 127 for the TTL. AT&T will receive packets from your iPhone with a TTL of 127, but since the packets from your laptop pass through your iPhone first, they arrive at AT&T with a TTL of 126. They can detect a tethered device this way.
EDIT: Some people below have suggested changing the default TTL of their tethered device (which is possible). I would just like to point out that the max TTL allowed is 255, and if the iPhone uses 255 as its default TTL, well there's no way you can set it to 256.

I'm not sure if our android tethering apps take this into account and change the TTL of the traffic on the fly or not... would be interesting to test out though...

heh. i go to the library often and will occasionally want to play Left 4 Dead online. problem is, the library's wifi is super slow and regularly disconnects.... so i will use pdanet to my laptop. theres no 4g in my area but at least the 3g is stable enough to keep me connected and my ping averages 200 - 300. sometimes itll jump as high as 700(which really sucks) but im at least surprised that the 3g can even do that.
So nobody has figured out why tethering only uses 3g instead of 4g????
Just figured I'd let you know that I let a guy tether his iPhone (just to show him LTE) to my Tbolt recently and he got 12dn/3up using the built-in tethering hotspot in CM7 (he ran the Speedtest.net app on his iPhone).

It's not a universal problem. It sounds like a "just you" problem and maybe a few others. LTE works fine for me and I get 1.5-2 Megabytes per second on it with CM7.

Well, it's not "just you". My phone won't USB tether if I have "LTE" radio selected. If I just select EVDO, then it will tether. Running OMGB.

Not everyone is having the problem. Seems to only be a handful of people.
I'd say if you're running cm7 and you messed with the radio settings other than just using the toggle for 3g and lte/3g auto, that is why your tethering is not working. Don't mess with those and dont force it to LTE only.
Anyone ever figure this out?
I'm running stock rooted Galaxy Nexus and I'm having the same problem. No matter what method I use to tether it seems that the tether switches to the 3g radio after a few seconds of turning it on.
I know this is a TB thread, but I have the same problem so it must not be a TB issue...
Everyone posting is running aosp roms, could that be the issue? On shiftsense i get 10-15 down with pings around 100. I also use the wifi tether fix i posted in the general threads. Ive flashed the newest radios, but never change the settings for lte/cdma.

I want to add another data point. I can tether to my android device and get about the same speeds I get on the phone. However, when I tether to a windows machine the speed is extremely slow <1mbps u/d. The only way to get better speeds on the PC is to run filterproxy on the phone. It's still about 35-50% of the bandwidth of the phone but a little better. Could this be related to like a MTU size on the PC or something timing out when being routed from the PC through the phone?

I use Wireless Tether for Root Users on my TB, and I get about 10-15Mbps down, but only around 0.5Mbps upload.

i have the paid PDANet and it works just fine in Win 7 Ultimate x64 (although does not work in Ubuntu)
All those wifi tether apps require root though so you'll either have to do the temp root method or wait until S-OFF
So there are no wifi versions? Using the tether and connecting the USB are counter productive. The power drain is higher that the charge most times, or at least so I thought..
I'm a little hazy on this topic of unsanctioned tethering with Verizon: can I use these apps in a pinch if I don't have a data plan with "Mobile Hotspot" or will VZW know the instant that I try and slap me 20 ways with fees?

You can grab wifi tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ however take it with a grain of salt that it only works with root access and temp root is hardly stable at this point. You probably need to freeze the tetherguard package as well. I'm not undertaking this experiment until I get full root.

Yes you may use this in a pinch without a separate hotspot plan through VZW. If you start taking advantage and your data usage increases you might throw a red flag. Just don't go crazy on 4G downloading large files and what not and you'll be fine.

Cool. It was the same thing when I was in Japan - some providers offered tethering plans, but they want an arm and a leg for them so deciding to tether on the sly with an unlocked phone was an easy choice.

This is not what I am seeing. Using Easy Tether paid version. (10 bucks) My phone still gains charge while tethered.
But the huge advantage is that I'm seeing is that my speeds while tethered just blow away the hotspot speeds. My phone using Verizon wireless hotspot will not stream a 1080p video without stopping to buffer every 15-30 seconds. BUT, when using Easy Tether I am able to stream THREE open 1080p Youtube vids with no buffer stops! That is definitely a productive difference to me.
(BTW, You can try the free version and you just won't be able to access https sites.)
I believe Verizon wireless "4G" hotspot is throttled on this phone!

If your on AT&T and have a non-smart phone Samsung Mythic... you can tether it to your iPod Touch (granted you have one) and make an Ad-Hoc network with it via the wireless, then connect to it on your SGP. Battery life is fantastic so you can just keep the other two devices (the phone and iPod) in a backpack or something near you. Tedious but it works, especially since the data is unlimited on a non-smartphone plan (and they don't notice, or at least haven't for the last 2 years) if you Bluetooth DUN tether.

As far as I know, bluetooth tethering won't work with Android. So you'd need a phone with WiFi to share the 3G connection over. If your blackberry doesn't have WiFi, you'd need another device that does as the middle-man. Which becomes a bit of a hassle.
Google your phone and it's modem and make sure you won't get any extra charges for tethering (most phones WILL lead to charges without a tethering plan on unlimited data, but some seem to be hidden). And if you do, just pay for a tethering plan I suppose.

Then there is probably a guide somewhere on how to share it, I don't know whether or not AT&T will see it though, so be warned, I wouldn't risk a smartphone unlimited plan for that kind of thing. In my case, I pay for non-smartphone unlimited data and tether it so I don't really lose anything if I'm caught (It's been over 2 years so far) since it's like $10/month for AT&T 3G HSDPA.

I don't think Bluetooth DUN is possible over Android. I know it is on iOS, but I don't think anyone has gotten it to work with non-Android phones (like a Blackberry or my Samsung featurephone).
You could use your BlackBerry to make a Wireless network, but that COULD impose extra charges depending on your carrier (AT&T charges a good $10+ extra (can't remember the exact).

That depends on the Carrier. Here in the states AT&T requires that you go to a new plan (limited) and charges you for the privilage of sharing your data. Or you can try CM's new undetectable tethering as it is done at a lower level than the providers see.

Interesting, have more info on this? Considering that AT&T detects tethering using browser useragent now (DO NOT USE Dolphin HD or any other browser that uses a desktop useragent on AT&T if you're on an unlimited plan!), there's no way to do undetectable tethering without an encrypted VPN.
To others - whether tethering costs you depends on your carrier. If you're in North America, it's basically guaranteed that your provider wants you to get a special tethering plan. It's usually possible to get around this, but as discussed above - providers try really hard to find ways to bust you. Tethering a Player should not cause any of the AT&T triggers discussed above though - I've been tethering my Tab 10.1 for ages without issue.

The bottom line is No. This device DOES NOT have a hidden/internal antenna and you can't mod it to have one. "External devices" would be a hotspot or cell phone that is sharing it's connection via tethering. Though I wouldn't consider that "3G for SGP", more like, "WiFi for SGP" since that's all it is; You can't make calls over the voice network through that data through your normal phone.
Kind of a silly question in general heh, but unless you go through a good deal of trouble to either get a hotspot device and carry it around, or do the Phone -> iPod Touch -> SGP thing I do; There really isn't any other way to do this.
I have an Optimus phone. Just added a Widgetsoid2 Hotspot toggle, push the button, and presto SGP connected. It is against terms of service on Virgin Mobile, but I plan on getting rid of my phone and getting Truconnect mifi. $5/mo Hotspot (plus .039 per mb). I use less than 100mb on 3G now that I have my SGP5.
You can make calls on wifi or 3G with GrooveIP. That's all I use on wifi, and I tested it tethered to my phone and also works fine.
Hey all -
My friend just bought an HTC Rezound to with a 2GB (4GB due to their current promo) data plan. He plans on using it as his main internet connection at his house over the summer because up there, they don't have cable internet or DSL available. Anyone have any input on what the best setup (ROM wise and app wise) would be for him to achieve this? I'm a little worried because I've seen some people saying Verizon can charge you for teathering (I'm currently on Sprint and have never had this problem on a rooted device) even if you use are rooted and use a 3rd party app. Is that true? If he has a custom rooted ROM, and uses something like android wi-fi teather, he should be fine right? How could they tell the data is going to a desktop vs. being displayed through his phones browser?
Anyone?

I really don't think you can tether for free with any of the ROMs out now. I just came from a droid 3 and could tether after hacking the radio, but haven't seen anything like that for the rezound. Tethering does come in handy once in a while. Anyone have any success tethering for free?

I believe there are at least two threads that deal with this at xda, so search "rezound wifi tether" on Google and you should get many hits. Search is your friend.
However, the long and the short is, GB ROMs will allow adhoc wifi tethering and ICS ROMs allow infrastructure tethering.
If you don't understand the difference, I wouldn't suggest messing with your friend's Rezound until you've done some research.

There are currently no wifi hotspot hacks to allow what your friend is looking for. If he's smart he'll pay for wifi hotspot and get unlimited data in the process(plenty of info on that). Otherwise as stated above, ad-hoc tether is available for GB and infrastructure tether for ICS.

Nope, I was just saying that there isn't a hack for free MHS. You can only do 1-to-1 device tethering without MHS. As far as we currently know ad-hoc and infrastructure tethering is still not detectable.
I know At&t was pulling "We know you are tethering" claims with all the iPhone users when I was with them. That said I don't see how they could claim this with android with the option to use Firefox+Phony to change how you see the webpage.
I tether all the time for free
