I play nova 3 on my GS4 but it refuses to use my data network, only wifi. So how do I make it think my data is wifi?

Check the settings in the app. If you can't toggle it there you probably won't be able to do it. Why do you want to waste all your data playing a game anyway

I could think of a few reasons. Perhaps while travelling or in an are that has no WiFi. Also, some of us still have unlimited data plans.
Well, the app is going to be looking for two system variables: a true return if the Wifi is enabled and a true return if a valid Wifi connection is established. You can't trick the program, its looking at device states which can't be changed.
Without an option in the app itself, this is a no go.

Yeah but on the iPhone theres a jailbreak app that does this it just spoofs the device to think that it is connected through wifi when it is really data, I'm not sure if it spoofs the whole phone or the app, but I really thought it was possible... but you're probably right. I guess I'm just stuck using wifi.

I'm rooted. I cannot figure out a decent tethering solution. The stock version will not let me tether even though I'm rooted running greyblur. I've tried the wifi tether app and it never connects. I'm currently using barnacle but it seems to run really slow. Always under 1.0 mbps while my atrix alone is at 2-3mbps. What is everyone's tethering solution like?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
And you have switched the APN in the network settings to the "Tether" one?
PDANet (on marketplace) should work as wired tether regardless.
Use Barnacle tether... its better than adding the Tethering APN. Download it from somewhere and then sideload it.

I thought by switching the apn at&t will know and begin harrassing you and eventually charging (in that order)
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
As far as I know, the only thing AT&T can see is your data usage. They'll go after you if your data use is suspicious or something. You have to use the "Tether" APN in order to have the wireless tether feature on the phone work at all without a plan.
Try WiFi Tether. Works same as Barnacle. Download .apk and install.

If you have Limited Data then they can catch you easier. If you have unlimited its a little harder from what Ive hear. Plus using WiFi tether or Barnacle Tether is safer than using a new APN.

You don't need to change to tether APN to use Barnacle or WiFi Tether. Its not just data usage they see with using APN. This has already been discussed in another thread.

Nothing to do with data plan. They can see you are taking an extra "hop" so to speak when tethered using APN method. It can be faked out, but more trouble than its worth.

oooor you could just use Barnacle
In your APN settings, under the 'APN Type' heading it should read 'default'. Modify this to 'default,tether' without a space. Then turn wifi on. Wait a sex. Then turn on wireless hotspot/tether. Worked like a charm for me.

Care to share that article? I'd like to read it
Also, what I meant before was that you needed to change the APN in order to use the built-in tether feature, not a tether app ^^
I believe he is talking about TTL or Time to Live on packets. if your phone sends data back to AT&T it will always have the same TTL attached to the data packet, lets say 64 which means in 64 'hops' the packet will be discarded as undeliverable, if you tether to another device, the hop will be one less because it will go 64 from the computer/tablet/tethered device to the phone, reduce by one as its done one hop, then 63 from phone to the tower, if they AREN'T measuring tethers like this then they should, because its pretty productive.
all they have to do is check the data packets and watch as everything is 64 then suddenly 63's are coming through without a tethering plan. -caught them-

I am running Juggernaut ROM and used it to tether quite heavily this past few days. I received a text message from T Mobile telling me to sign up for their tethering plan. I think they were monitoring the amount of data usage I was using and I exceeded some limit over a certain time frame. Is there anyway around this? Previously I only tethered for a few hours at most. Thanks.
No way around it

Google how to change the user agent on your internet browser. The T-mobile upsell page only shows up when it detects you're using a desktop browser via the user agent. Try tethering to a tablet or Google Chrome with the user agent set to Firefox and it works fine even after they send you the message saying your tethering is blocked.

The quick workaround for the tether monitor upsell is to use a VPN... You can use a free service (I use VPN Reactor) or a paid service (such as StrongVPN).
To find and setup VPN Reactor, use HTTPS://www.google.com to perform a search... VPN Reactor is a secure (HTTPS) site and the upsell notice will not appear (which you might have noticed when checking any other secure site, such as GMail).
I hope this helps those looking for a solution to the tether upsell notice.
Idk if this is possible but using cm9 and aokp I have had no problems with tethering, and from what I have been reading perhaps aosp derivative roms don't have this issue?

They still know you're doing it.
I got this same text message from TMobile, even though they recommended getting a tethering plan I didn't and they said I wouldn't be able to tether anymore.
To this day I'm still tethering, so I don't believe they can do anything to stop the tethering if you are on a custom ROM.

yeah, you've got to get rid of tethering manager completely.... in other words find a rom that doesn't need it!
TMo can stop you from tethering if they want to, It's just a balance of the expected revenue gain and the likely backlash. If a nasty message accomplishes one without the other, it's a no brainer.
If you are rooted on a custom rom from the development section most likely you shouldn't receive any messages. That doesn't mean they aren't tracking your data. You will be throttled to 60kbs when you've reached the limit. For most people that's 2 or 5 gigs of data. There used to be a work around for the throttle but it's been patched.

Is there an app out there that can show what is currently using wifi on the Nexus 7? I just picked up my tablet and I noticed that there is wifi activiy and I would like an app that shows what exactly is using the connection since I don't have anything running that should be having a constant connection? So kind of like a firewall but without the need to block programs. I just want to see what is using the connection

Oh, my bad man. I thought you needed to know which network you are on. Sorry about that. In fact I've been looking for something like that too.
You could always try using the data usage feature in your settings to see what might be doing it. Go to it, wait a minute or so and then refresh it. Whatever numbers have changed in that time are the culprits.
Afterwards I'd recommend Droidwall if you actually do want to block certain apps from the internet. Assuming you're rooted that is.

For those that want to tether but don't want to pay your carrier for it...
Root is required.
1) Download your favorite SQL editor. I use SQLite Editor.
2) Open and grant root access.
3) Scroll down and find Settings Storage
4) Choose settings.db (duh)
5) Go down to line 65 and change the value for entitlement check from 1 to 0.
6) Reboot.
7) Profit.
Historically this has stuck through updates as the databases don't change when you update.
Thank you jcase for root!

I wonder if the changes to settings will survive reboot because system is not writeable atm
in what folder does settings storage live? I cant seem to find it.
It does persist through reboot. The change actually won't work until after reboot.

No need to buy SQLite Editor
For those who don't want to pay for the SQLite Editor app, you can still gain wifi tethering/hotspot with this free alternative.
1. Download the free apps aShell and aSQLiteManager from Play Store.
2. Launch aShell, check the "Root" box, then hit "File Explorer" button.
3. Browse to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases, and open up settings.db with aSQLiteManager.
4. Now choose the "settings" table, hit "Data" button.
5. "PgDn" until you see "65. entitlement_check" and change that value from 1 to 0.
You're done! Restart and wifi tethering/hotspot will work now.

If your phone has Bluetooth DUN capabilities (read: sharing the Internet connection over Bluetooth), then you may be able to use BlueVPN in the Nook to use your phone's connection. I have used it in the past, both with CM7 and CM10.x, and while it has the downside that some applications may keep saying that there is no connection available, most “important” apps would work (e.g. Browser, Gmail) so it can be a lifesaver sometimes. Keep in mind that the Nook does not have a Bluetooth antenna, so its transmission range is very short and you will need to keep your phone close to it.
