Abuse? Dude paid for this privilege. People who use 1kb without paying for it are the real abusers.
Exactly! He's paying $30/mo for unlimited, UNCAPPED data. If dude wants to use 50gigs.. then so be it.
Quit hatin in here people!![]()
until Sprint pulls the plug and we're all f**ked.
but this is the attitude of the current "me and now" generation. the youth today is garbage. give me mine and f**k everyone else.

Please only use the amount of data I find acceptable from your home internet, so that Comcast or whoever your ISP is doesn't pull the plug and hurt us all, but continue to pay them full price.
Also, watch the swearing and insults pleaseI loves me some lively discussion, but let's keep it within the rules.
I'm completely fine with people using data the way it's supposed to be used. I just hope that Sprint won't start the stupid data plans like Verizon and AT&T.
Where's the previous record to break? Can someone please post it here.
I have no problem with someone using a service that they paid for.
The part that I detest, is all the people that make a game out of it. If people just used the service like it was meant to be used, then maybe good plans (unlimited) would stick around or at least stick around longer.
You can tell the OP is all about getting some attention. The subject says it all... DID I BREAK A RECORD? He puts his stats in his signature, he's posted countless times in here about where he's at now with his gig count, he wants his "game results" to get on the front page.. It's all about attention.
He's trying to use as much bandwidth as he can, pure and simple, for no other reason, then to use it. No one with any kind of life, can use a phone that much, unless they are trying to do it on purpose.
I can predict what would happen if there was a unlimted gas plan you could buy. For no other reason then to make a game out of it, the OP would buy a gas hog for a vehicle and then set it up on blocks and run it in place 24 hours a day. Why? For the attention.
I wish every person in this world exercised common sense.... but they do not. So those people do what they do, and I do what I do.... which is try and understand why people act this way. I can't understand it, but hey.... I guess whatever floats their boat, nothing any of us can do about it.
Just my opinion, but then again... I'm still trying to understand why young people (12 - 30) hold their phone in their hand everywhere they go, like it was a pacemaker for their heart, if it left their hand for a minute, they would die. They also look at it every 3 mins or so to see if they have a message.
I predict if one of these people were drowning in the ocean, you would see 1 hand sticking up out of the water, it would be the hand with the phone in it. The rescue helicopter would be throwing down a rope for them to grab onto, but it would require both hands to do so. I believe the helicopter would fly away with no passenger and the ocean would gain a unlimited plan with a smartphone... oh and a body too.![]()
USB TETHER IS NOT SUPPORTED ON MAC OS
that popup message is absolutely meaningless, it occasionally pops up on everyones. don't freak out.
500 MB is not large AT ALL. thats like 10 youtube videos, don't be ridiculous. it's the UNLIMITED PLAN.
yes, it is a one time fee for the use of the donor forum. NO ONE associated with the myTether project sold you any rights to tethering or data usage. the usage meter may not be accurate. currently, if you have sprints unlimited everything plan (with unlimited internet), you can use myTether to hack (modify) your pre and forward the internet to other devices and computers via wifi (or usb, or bluetooth), but donating to this forum does not BUY you the rights to tether. that is strictly between you and your telecom. you didn't BUY anything, you donated to a research project. the benefit of donating is access to the donor side of the forum. donating to the forum and/or installing myTether in NO WAY makes tethering contractual or legal. it simply takes advantage of an oversight by your telecom. furthermore, aonic, myTether,the forum, and it's members have absolutely NO OBLIGATION to help you in anyway or any duty to fix or replace you pre if anything happens to it. you installed this mod on your phone, you made the decision to modify your phone from the telecoms default setup, you are the only one responsible if anything happens to it.
congrats on your successful install, but be wary of when updates are going to come out. if your phone updates and you have the current myTether installed, it could break or make your device loose functions. additionally, your current installed version of myTether may not work with further updates from palm. aonic hasn't failed at updating myTether yet though.
Does PdaNet use voice or data? Will I get extra charge from my carrier for using PdaNet?
PdaNet usage is identical to Internet usage on your phone. So it only goes through your data plan. If you have an unlimited data plan (like most BlackBerry phone plans) then you are covered.
It has something to do with sprint stopping people from using they're phone as a modem with a phone-as-modem plan. on samsung phones you can disable the modem NAI by going into setting, display, press 0 to access hidden menu, enter the code 040793, scroll down to modem NAI and select disable. reboot your phone and modem NAI is disabled. you can use your phone as a highspeed modem with no phone-as-modem plan. I believe that disabling the modem NAI also makes it hard for sprint to tell the difference between your in phone browser data usage and modem data usage. anyhoo, if you're new to the debug menu, please don't mess around with the other options (especially korea mode) as you could screw up your phone.
How much data usage is too much under unlimited.
Hi, I am considering making sprint my primary isp for data. Now I have 5 lines all with unlimited data and all together we use about 15gb of data. Of the five lines only one is using 14gb of data and the rest a few hundred megs.
In the past month I have tethered off a bb 9650 about 13gb's. Right now I don't know if sprint is blocking it but it is extremly hard to tether thru it right now. Could be signal or something else but I doubt it.
Anyway now I have another line with an evo on it and I get even better tether speeds and will probably hit 20gbs next month since I just got a slingbox and I don't have cable where I am most times. On my comcast account I download about 900gb a month easy so to me 20gbs is really nothing.
Both comcast and sprint have told me that I have unlimited internet so I really don't understand why this word is used if it is not that.
Anyway if somebody could answer some of these questions it would help.
1. Is sprint paying for data? Or do they have a t1 one hooked up or something similar. T1's go for like 300 a month and I pay sprint that almost every month.
2. How do they come up with data caps? Most customers do not even know how to use there phones and have low data usage, so an average of all customers really would not be fair.
3. If I am a customer that is affecting sprints network why can't they let me know, I would cancel my service if I am abusing it but according to any rep or manager they tell me that I have unlimited data and there is no cap.
4. Is there really a difference on using 10gb's tethering compared to just using it on the phone. I thought internet was internet.
Sorry it's alot for my first post but I thought this was the best place to ask.

You get "unlimited" data for use on the device. If your hitting 20GB then I can see what Sprint is likely looking at you.
If you have an EVO, and 4G, pay for the WiFi plan and connect "legally." Its people who tether without paying for it, and use this much data, that can cause issues for the rest of us.

I have used over 6Gigs this month alone by tethering my LG Lotus. I have never been charged anything extra. I have 3 phones on my account and they all tether daily. I think with NAI disabled Sprint can't prove your really are doing anything wrong.
another thread
There are easy ways of getting around the NAI with Samsung EVDO phones, but this program I wouldn't trust. I am sure it will work for a good while, but Sprint will figure it out one way or another. It's like the guy in Houston that thought we was getting a "ONE UP" on the electric company for 9 months and then got a bill for $3000. PAY IT OR SUFFER! LOL SO... YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW!! LOL
Guys please settle down. If you do not agree with it then please move on. He is not causing anybody trouble. He wants to share with you all his findings
If you think one person using a lot of data is going to cause tiered data plans then you might want to look at the bigger picture. Cell phone companies were probably planning on doing years ago but didn't know how to get it started without people flipping out. If they can charge people more for data then they will. They are a business and businesses want to make more money. They are more concerned with making a bigger profit while maintaining customers rather than trying to make sure their subscribers get a lot of bang for their Buck. It was going to happen eventually whether it be soon or when 4g hits nationwide for the majority of the states.
