For browsing, I change the UA setting in internet explorer to nexus 7 android and don't use ie for anything else. This make Windows update work fine. I use chrome for anything else. Set the UA setting to MAC-OSX and YouTube, flash and whatever works just fine. sometimes I experience a hiccup with Facebook. When that happens, I just go from HTTP to HTTPS in the address bar and everything works just fine.

I have been using Chrome for a couple of months now changing the user agent and it works fine. The only thing that gets on my nerves is when opening another tab you have to change the user agent on that tab as well.

Sorry for the delay!! If you use T-Mobile, they only filter HTTP requests when the User Agent (UA) says the OS and browser are Windows-based. Can't say for sure about other carriers Rooting works. Without root, you're limited to using the stock tether, which blocks all requests without approval. Root, bypasses the carriers software and allows you to use your own software to tether. So .. yes it works. I manage to average about 150-300 GB a month due to tether and video streaming apps. Good luck!
I am able to hotspot kindle and ipad but not on laptop. What exactly are the steps to changing user agent? I currently use Firefox.

open it from your computer. It's an application extension for google chrome. If you save the .crx file ...or whatever it is.. and load it in chrome, it will enable the UA extension. when it's enabled, you see a little icon in the upper right corner. click it and select a different agent... like safari, or nexus 7 ... or you can create your own. Here's the code for the one I use:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-gb; GT-I9300 Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

Try setting your user agent to safari for Hulu. Either that, or use chrome browser.

11NOTE: IF YOU STILL GETTING THE MSG ABOUT THE TMOBILE OFFER OF 14.99 THE SOLUTION IS:
SOLITION #1: IF YOU ARE USING GOOGLE CHROME AND STILL WANT TO USE GOOGLE CHROME AS YOUR DEFAULT BROWSER YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE USER AGENT. TO DO SO YOU OPEN GOOGLE CHROME CLICK ON MENU THEN TOOLS, THEN DEVELOPER TOOLS, THE A WINDOW ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IS GOING TO PUP UP THEN CLICK ON SETTINGS (THERE IS A SETTING BUTTOM ON THE RIGHT BOTTOM) THEN YOU ARE GOING TO SEE 3 TABS: GENERAL -OVERRIDES-SHORTCUTS, CLICK ON OVERRIDES THEN YOU CLICK ON USER AGENT AND CHANGE THE USER AGENT TO ANYTHING THATS IT!
SOLUTION # 2 :GO TO WWW.APPLE.COM AND DOWNLOAD SAFARI BROWSER SIMPLE AND USE IT! THATS IT!!
ALSO IF YOU DONT LIKE SAFARI BROWSER YOU CAN ALWAYS DOWNLOAD FIREFOX BROWSER!!
1ST - ROOT YOUR PHONE!!!!!!!
2ND-DOWNLOAD THIS APK FROM THE MARKET OR FROM HERE http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ VERSION 3.1 BETA14
