ok so both are T-mobile version, which is probably why they never checked for tethering. My old Moto X1 AT&T did check for tethering under 5.1 (maybe even 4.4.4, can't recall now) so it continues to do so under Cricket even unlocked.

UncleMike, Geodude074, what OS version are you running on X 2014 and most importantly what flavor of the phone is that (pure, or AT&T, or ???) As I mentioned above, my X1 2013 was AT&T branded (now unlocked) and checks for tethering plan so it won't enable unless I pay extra on Cricket.

That's really worrisome. A pure neutral device shouldn't have Cricket/ATT check restrictions. Did you fidn a solution (short of paying up to $50+10 plan ?) From what I read the Nexus don't have that issue. I really want my next phone to be vendor neutral and really pure without vendor software...

The key might have been that you had a pure phone and updated to a non ATT/Cricket ROM OTA so you never got their software that checks for permission for tethering ? I noticed my Moto X1 (2013) asking for ATT hostpot I think it started after I upgraded to 5.1 OTA (from 4.4.4) when I was there -...
