Confirmed way to make tethering work on 1520 RM-937

Yep

So it seems T-mobile has stepped up their tethering tracking, before I could just set my browser's user agent to Googlebot and tether forever, now it has stopped me from tethering after using my 2.5 gb allotment. Does anyone have any workaround for this, I would really appreciate it as my phone connection is my only source of reasonably fast internet. Thanks

I'm able to enable internet sharing with the Spanish keyboard hack. However, when I try to connect to the hotspot, it directs me to a Tmobile log-in. Anybody else has that problem?

The keyboard trick worked for me on WP8 with my 1520 and ATT tethering plan and worked through the update to 8.1 but doesn't work anymore now that I've done a hard reset, will have to find a "foreign" nano sim

holy s***. Joker you incredible bustard! I screwed it up and didn't chance the region before reboot and it still worked. Thanks for the post!

Did a Nokia recovery reset back to 8 and upgraded back to dev preview after the keyboard trick, all is well now

I went to 8.1 to 8.0, again, and obviously loss the wireless sharing. Did the trick again and it worked again.

I'll lose this if don't write here ) will check this one too for tmobile. The other trick doesn't help me anymore

Update. This is amazing. I just updated the Nokia settings apps and they seem to fix my Sharing. I didnt even try trick above))

I've tried this countless times and never works on my 920, Does it work on 8.1 after a reset or must you go back to 8.0?

How did you do a settings update

Just updated my 1520 with update 1 and internet sharing now works.

I bought a 1520 and used my Cricket SIM and I couldn't get internet sharing to work but I could see it in the setting menu. After doing the official upgrade to 8.1 there is not even an option there to start internet sharing. Does anyone have any ideas?

I had the same thing happening to me with Cricket as well (had the sim card since they were AIO). Unfortunately it looks like Cyan actually completely hides the option if your plan does not include Internet Sharing Which Cricket does not officially.

I switched to AT&T (GoPhone) which does include Internet sharing and now the option is there and I haven't had any issues. It works correctly.

Darn, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the reply.

Looks like I might have to switch to ATT GoPhone plan if there is no tethering on Cricket. Thanks.

Just tried this on my 1520 With Windows 10 and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the info.
