How do u do it

Root your phone then download Titanium Backup either freeze or uninstall tethering manager...

Then under APN's create one with the APN Phone and the rest blank but the bottom type should be internet and it'll work

Interestingly, I only had to freeze tetheringmanager.
Did not change anything else and it works fine...
Should I?
Thanks.

Well changing the APN Phone makes it so you don't get throttled also.. "for lte phones"

I went to create a new APN and it as the name i put phone, and at the bottom where it says APN type i put internet.

Now i have no internet at all, please be detailed step by step each line so that i can get this right.

Under name you put anything like AT&T Unthrottle
Under APN put Phone
Under type Internet

That is all that's required and it should work.

Got it, it most def worked for me.

So let me ask u, i can use the tethering application which is built into the phone in order to tether without a being throttled or being see by ATT. Keep in mind i have the galaxy note from att just released today.

And is there a app that i can see the percentage of the battery in the top right corner.

Long as you have Tethering Manager frozen or uninstalled yes for battery mods not sure on thar yet I'm sure there is but I haven't looked into it.

Keep in mind the Phone APN does not connect to LTE but you don't get throttled

Yeah iam seeing the difference in speeds, does the Phone apn connect to HSPA+ or 3G, n for the record u have been a good help, thanks alot.

Titanium Backup requires root though right? Is there a root already available? Im not too savvy, and i used the one click live cd to root my transformer.
So can i freeze it without root? Id like to tether, but i don't see a non root titanium Backup

throttling bastards

Max, thanks for the useful info. Can you please clear some things up for me:

1. Creating this APN results in tethering at HSPDA+ speed instead of LTE? or is it even slower?

2. With tethering manager uninstalled and the original APN, tethering will work fine at LTE speed but ATT will throttle the connection? Is that a definite?

3. Doesn't ATT throttle the top 5% or so of total bandwidth users anyway? If so, wouldn't changing the APN not really make a difference?

Thanks

The way AT&T has their system setup is based off your device if it's LTE they throttle your LTE connection, if it's HSPDA+ or 3G they throttle it. Now the APN gets you off LTE and on to HSPDA+ and through a different gateway so they no longer see / sniff your packets "never connect through wap.Cingular and tether" that will get you caught!

Tethering Manager reports you tethering to AT&T's system making sure it's okay to tether so by freezing that or uninstalling that you are able to stop that.

Yes you will be connected to HSPDA+ so you still get up to 14.4Mbps down in some area's.

So yes this helps from getting throttled and keeps AT&T from knowing what you are doing.

Yes we are rooted and overclocked already because of the awesome developer Da_G just check the dev section and he has instructions!

Interesting. Can anyone else verify that AT&T really can't detect this? And how can we get it to work on 4G LTE?
