well.. yeah sort of, but it's like health insurance where you don't find this stuff out until you've signed the contract. they originally touted my phone as providing wifi but didn't say "..at an extra cost".

Got the N4, added as my TMobile phone, used the Wifi Hotspot, and was blocked within a couple days. The phone said I'd used something like 100MB but I think it was including other traffic so the total was probably less than that; it was just a few hours of regularly web surfing over two days...

Maybe I'd just gotten accustomed to some features of HTC SenseUI (MyTouch 4G), but I'm surprised that there's no self-timer on the N4's camera. Am I just missing it, or is there a good camera app that's close to the stock camera but with a delay timer added? Thanks

I'm going to assume you're just being funny, otherwise this is the stupidest thing I've read on the Internet this week which is saying a lot. I've been having similar issues w/ my macbook and am trying to figure out the issue -- an hour ago I was using the macbook on battery and had the phone...

oh, hahahaha -- I think this may not have been tmobile, but that I was using the free version of PDA-net which apparently blocks https traffic. aaaah.

Well holy crap, after blocking HTTPS across my tethering connection, T-Mobile just blocked embedded youtube videos -- from my phone, not from a tethered device. Don't get on their anti-tethering radar, they'll start hounding you. Jerks. (Not jerks exactly -- they just need to figure out how...

With the world moving to mobile though, and with faster and faster mobile processors, this distinction is getting fuzzier as people can't use data *that* much faster with a laptop than a smartphone. I can sort of understand on an unlimited data plan, but on a limited plan it's annoying --...

totally agree; made no sense to me either but it's what they're doing. google.com is https, so I can't even do a google search from a tethered device. I decided they don't want to block me completely, they just want to annoy the crap out of me.

I may be wrong but I got the sense that they were doing detection through filtering on their end, not something on the phone. The fact that they started blocking HTTPS and not all traffic, and only through my tethered device and not the phone's internet browser, made me think that it was...

unfortunately, tmobile can and will do their best to detect "unauthorized" wifi hotspot traffic, and block you. I got my MyTouch 4G in Feb 2011 and used the built-in wifi hotspot for over a year. Sometime this summer I got a text message from t-mo saying I was about to be blocked, and a...
