T-Mobile Hotspot Usage Bug with Tidal Streaming
I have been having issues with Tidal streaming on my Samsung S24 since February '24. I have determined that the data that Tidal is using to stream music is being recognized as "hotspot data" by T-Mobile. Each carrier billing cycle the T-Mobile system sends me a message stating I have hit my hotspot data cap. At that time Tidal becomes extremely slow and encounters buffering issues. All of my other applications work perfectly fine, I have unlimited data with my T-Mobile plan (Magenta Max55+), but for some reason, Tidal is using hotspot data or its data usage is being miscategorized as hotspot data. On my phone hotspot data usage reported is 0GB month over month. I never use my hotspot. Something weird is going on here, I am not sure if it is on the Tidal side in how it requests data or on the T-Mobile. I need help in having this issue investigated and escalated to the appropriate parties (Either at Tidal, T-Mobile, or maybe even Samsung). I have attempted to inform T-Mobile but they their phone support seems ill-equipped to handle uncommon technical problems. I am not sure if this will ever be resolved. I suppose in T-mobiles eyes this would be like a "P4" priority. Unless there is some security risk involved I doubt they will care.

Anyconnect cannot work with T-mobile phone hotspot
Hello, I sometimes need to use Cisco AnyConnect on my laptop, which connects to my phone's hotspot for remote work. However, it has failed since early February. Has something changed regarding using VPN on a hotspot? Please help, and thank you very much!
Tethering Laptop to Phone, Hotspot
I have a good T-Mobile data plan on my Samsung Galaxy phone. There are times when I want to tether my laptop to the phone. On my phone I get download speeds of about 35 Mbits/Sec. But when I use a cordless method to tether laptop to phone then (on the laptop) I get intolerable download speeds of about 0.29 Mbits/Sec. And if I use a USB-C cable then I get download speed of about 0.30 Mbits/Sec. Why is this so intolerably slow? Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, Android 13 HP Laptop 17-cn2063cl, Ubuntu 22Is this how 5G Hotspots work on T-Mobile ?
I currently have an outage of my regular internet provider (AT&T) and a friend let me use his T-Mobile 5G Hotspot. It was working great at 10mb/secfor a day and a half, then it slowed down to .014 Mb/sec. I checked the router and it said '10gb monthly limit has been reached and will reduce speed until the next billing cycle' . I sort of expected an eventual slowdown ( maybe 4G )but to 100kb/sec makes the internet almost un-useable ( it took 2 min for this page to load ). The first 1½ days almost had me changing but if this is the way it is going to be I am going to avoid T-Mobile. Is this the way 5G hotspots work on T-Mobile?Blocked myself from my own WiFi HotSpot
I set up a T-Mobile hotspot at my residence yesterday. I wanted to boot my smart TV off it and I ended up accidentally blocking my own phone's MAC ID from it. Now I can't access my own WiFi nor, obviously make any changes to it. How do Igo about unblocking myself from my WiFi hot spot?
