I've recently changed to Metro from Cricket and my plan currently allots me 10gb a month for wireless hotspot. On cricket, I didn't have a hotspot service but I used the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line to enable my phone's native hotspot and get it working.
However using the same method, I've noticed that my hotspot allotment has been going up and I normally use 25gb a month on cricket. Is there any way to get around this limit, or to hide my hotspot usage altogether? I use hotspot on my PlayStation to game as there are no good internet providers in my area.

Well, yes you are sill paying for hotspot. fYou need to download an app from google play that says it was designed for free tethering on rooted phones. But it will still use data from your plan.
Rooting won't magically give you unlimited data. It just allows you root level (adminstator) privileges.

All rooted tethering apps I've seen are meant to provide a hotspot capability that leverages your existing data plan. This allows you to avoid whatever your carrier would charge over and above your existing data plan to provide you with a hotspot capability.
For instance, I have an unlimited data plan with AT&T. If I went through my carrier to hotspot through my phone, I'd have to pay $50/month for 5GB of hotspot data. Rooted tethering apps allow me to turn my phone into a hotspot using my unlimited data plan and avoid the additional carrier costs for the same capability.
I'm looking for a rom that has wifi calling enabled, carrier iq removed, and unlimited tethering from tmobile. This rom seems to have unlimited tethering assuming it hasn't been broken for some reason which a lot of threads seem to be reporting (various threads say tmobile updated something and now unlimited tethering is broken in a lot of roms): http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../rom-twi5ted-lollipop-5-0-v1-deviant-t3037766
It doesn't mention carrier IQ being removed though and I know others have said wifi calling isn't supported by that rom. Does anyone know if that rom has carrier IQ removed?
Is there a rom that supports wifi calling, has carrier IQ removed, and supports unlimited tethering? If that rom has carrier IQ removed, I'll probably use it and just give up on trying to find a rom with wifi calling.
How do you check if a rom supports unlimited tethering? Is there a tethering data count somewhere that you can check and make sure it isn't counting against the 5gb limit tmobile has on unlimited plans? I'm coming from a nexus 4 and never had to worry about tethering restrictions on that device so I'm not sure how I would even check if it's counting against my tethering limit.
I did find this tethering fix which I would try applying if for some reason it isn't working in that Twi5ted rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716815&page=4
I'm using twi5ted lollipop on MetroPCS unlimited plan, and only get the up sell page if I don't use a VPN or I dont change my user agent Id.
and I don't have a tethering on my account at all, make sure your APN is ipv4 not ipv6
i switched around my at&t unlimited plan. it now comes with 10GB of mobile hotspot data.
my question is with my rooted phone and custom rom (viperonem9) with a mobile data hotspot hack. will it use my unlimited data or will it use my 10GB of hotspot data? im trying not to get charged for overages...
It'll still use your data I believe.. There is no fix for whats used...Only the ability to use tethering if it's not on account...
Of the various ways to modify the S7 to provide access to the Hotspot feature, after modification does the Hotspot use the phone's data from the unlimited plan, or does the data continue to be distinguished as Hotspot data usage?
The reason I ask is that Sprint already provides access to the Hotspot, but only provides 10Gb and then throttles it to worthless 2G speed thereafter. Phone data is unlimited LTE however. THANKS
I am able to edit my apn and what not to add dun to unlock the hotspot, but that really doesn't apply to me because 100gigs is already included with my plan. This is the lowest plan it gives me to downgrade to and only comes with 500mb of hotspot, so I dont think I can disable it like that. Any other suggestions? In 3 days I have already used 34 gigs with my kids and I. Would be nice just to have it disabled and be able to edit the apn to reenable it to feed of my mobile data instead.
