Root your device and use "wifi tether for root users" a free app in the market. This should help keep your tethering under the radar. Has always worked for me.

So basically the built in tether option in the nexus is no good to use?

==============================
And of those the Evo and Amaze are android, can the Radar be loaded with Android as well as other phones without issues?

========================
Does it have to be the canadian version of the amaze? I found a few locally and on ebay, but all say north american version. Just wondering if it matters, just want to make sure it has a ROM on it that will work in the states on Tmobile.

At the moment its not possible to load Android OS on the HTC Radar. You can load Android on the older window phones like the HD2 and the HD7.

ok, so then ill focus on finding a android phone that will work with tzones..
looking like the amaze, HD2(again since thats what just stopped working for me) or the HD7

Thanks for the info. The thing that worries me is that I'm getting that message very often now and NO BODY used my hotspot on their PC. It was only tethered to other cellphones.

I'm starting to think that they are slowly blacklisting my imei....

Anybody else having issues with their galaxy nexus purchased from google?

Did T-Mobile actually stop the other cellphones from tethering. Or did they just send a text message to your cellphone saying to sign up? Since you received that message, if someone did try to tether from a pc, they would likely get the upgrade message from the browser of the pc.

I don't think this has anything to do with your IMEI number.

Yes it needs to be a foreign version. The T-Mobile branded version of the Amaze will not work on tzones.

Are there any known issues with using the HD2 and HD7 with Android?

When i took my HD2 in for repair, the tech guy said that it was probably running android on the phone and i explained that the phone screen stopped working way before i load it on there and only loaded to see if it was software related. But that got me thinking, if i should even for another HD2 or HD7 and swap over to Android OS. I mean the cost difference is worth going that route, but not if im only going to get short use of the phone.

The Canadian version is hard to find on Ebay. Negrielectronics has the Telus Canada version for 498.50.

The thing is, T-Mobile never sent me any txt, my coworkers never used my connection on anything other than a cellphone, and my coworkers never got that upsell message on their phones when using my connection.

What could've prompted this?

The thing is, T-Mobile never sent me any txt, my coworkers never used my connection on anything other than a cellphone, and my coworkers never got that upsell message on their phones when using my connection.

So when does the tethering upsell message show up and on what device? You said it didn't show up on the coworkers phones. Did it show up on your phone when you were just using data? Or when you, yourself, had another device tethered to your phone? Was any function blocked after the message block appeared?

When I've received the message, I would receive a text message saying that I was blocked and the text would contain a link to a screen similar to what you posted. If I continued to try to tether with a pc browser, it would take the pc to an upsell screen as well.

Well during lunch i narrowed my search to the following phones:

EVO 3D
One X === No Replaceable battery
One S === No Replaceable battery
Amaze 4G
Radar === No Replaceable battery
Desire HD
HD2
HD7

The message shows on my phone which is a galaxy nexus purchased directly from google about a couple weeks back.

However, after doing some further testing I realized that after toggling the option "Request Desktop site" in the stock browsers menu, I get that message.

Can some body test out my theory with their galaxy nexus, try to request desktop site and see if you get that same upsell message.

At the moment, you can not flash android on HD7.
