I tried various wifi tether apps and without additional modifications or configuration I could not get them to work including: After stalling with the mods, I pursued the non-native of attack and found (2) independent working ways to get unlimited tethered internet. It stands to reason that one must use a non-native application to disguise the tether usage, or significantly modify the native one. If anyone has a good guide on how you're getting hotspot with the Nougat LG V10 please post! I have, however, compiled a number of resources and may look back into what hacks must be used on the native app in the future.

With root access (which I have) it should be possible to achieve success, but I have found satisfactory non-root ways of achieving unlimited internet with MetroPCs (owned by T-mobile). I had to set up a duplicate, but theorize T-mobile was still routing to the hotspot APN I could not edit. One cannot by default edit the APNs for instance. Getting around these restrictions while using the native hotspot functionality requires work-arounds that I did not go far enough to successfully implement. do they have a monitoring app pre-installed? (ex delete via titanium backup) do they block urls that phones do not use? does carrier mark the packets coming through the wlan interface? is hotspot data sent through a second anp? Some research into bypassing T-mobile’s tether restrictions reveals there are several things carriers can do to detect hotspot usage and block those packets:
