The upcoming Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for T-Mobile's HTC Sensation 4G smartphone will come with one extra, and unwanted, feature. Hotspot sharing of the phone's data connection is no longer free.
The following statement, found in a support document for the HTC Sensation 4G's update, raised a few eyebrows:
"HTC Sensation 4G will be required to add Wi-Fi Mobile Hotspot feature in order to use the service after completing this update."
A T-Mobile USA representative confirmed to PCMag.com that once the Sensation 4G gets its Android 4.0 update, its users will be required to fork over $14.99 for the mobile hotspot sharing that has, until now, been free.
No word yet on whether the hotspot feature will become a paid service on the HTC Amaze 4G once it gets its own update in the near future, but since T-Mobile claims that its inconsistent charging for smartphone-based hotspot sharing in the past was due to software limitations, we expect that all T-Mobile devices running Android 4.0 will work that way.
