It is possible for T-Mobile to use a technique known as TCP fingerprinting where they analyse the characteristics of yout TCP/IP packets to guess at what OS you are using, they might also check your browser headers to see how your browser identifies itself, they might also look at the type of traffic and if it is traffic they wouldn't expect from the type of device they expect you to use they might block you based on that.
Mostly going on hearsay, but the clearest thing I've found is here in the comments section.

I suppose either of those methods are plausible/likely -- the phenomenon I'm looking into is specifically something in PR 1.3 that seemingly didn't exist in PR 1.2.

But hey, good input, thanks man
