Re: Binge on not working
So I got it to work finally! I found out that WIFI hotspot will not work with binge on and connected devices. In order for binge on to work, it must be connected via usb tethering. This is probably why it doesn't work on smart tv or ps4 because they don't support usb tethering. I connected it to my PC via usb tethering and then used the hdmi port on my PC to connect to my tv. I also was playing with the resolution controls on amazon prime. What it looks like to me is that binge on will only refund the data amounts at the lowest resolution. Anything higher than that it will just take the difference and add that to your amount used.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Binge on not working
Binge on still has not worked for me. I tried using 2 different computers tethered to my phone. I turned down the resolution to the minimum and used the web browser version and still it was using data. The computer was the only device connected to it. I am having doubts that this feature actually works at all for anyone. Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work in any scenario??? Tonight I am going to try to just use my phone without tethering to watch amazon prime.2Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Binge on not working
I tried using my tethering to my smart tv. I don't want to hear the BS that it was updating because my smart tv can't download an update and play streaming content at the same time. I started watching a amazon prime video on the tv teathered to my phone and after a short time, I got a warning that I was close to reaching my 4gb limit of high speed data. I then turned off the tv and looked to see exactly when the data was used. It was used at the same time I was watching amazon prime. No other devices were tethered to my phone at that time. So my real question still exists, how has anyone actually gotten this feature to work with any tethering? Did they actually verify in the testing phase of implementation of this feature that it actually can be used for tethering? I read in the feature documentation that it should work. Also can I get my data reset so I don't reach my cap here soon?4Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Binge on not working
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/4z6p7w/why_is_data_binge_not_working_for_youtube/ [-]addief143Verified T-Mobile Employee 1 point 1 year ago The way binge works in tmobile systems is that you have to have some of your 6gb available to binge, your data is still calculated and it will show what the usage is for what ever binge app u are using, but it doesnt count towards your 6gb data bucket, the only usage that is coming out of ur actual 6gb is the adds. Binge is not made for a smart tv or a internet stick like roku, neo or chrome cast, but can be tethered to a tablet. Can anyone explain how to actually get this to work in any instance? I am pretty flexible on what device I am using, I just need one happy path other than only using my phone for steraming. I need to be able to teather.4Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Binge on not working
Has there been any instances of binge on actually working? It seems like I have yet to hear a success story of this feature actually existing? I am having the same problem and looking to see what I need to do to solve this. I don't see why I have to contact tech support. Its much easier to just type here instead of being on hold. I am sure T-mobile customer reps look at these forums. I have yet to see anyone anywhere post a solution to this problem. Hopefully t-mobile isn't just advertising a bogus feature that actually is unavailable.5Visto0likes0Comentarios
