I have an AT&T set but it is now unlock and use in my country where I have no issue to use wifi tethering with my service provider in Singapore.
However each time I try to turn on wifi hotspot, it said go to AT&T url or dial 611 to use.
Can someone help? My device is already rooted. Thanks in advance
Updated : thanks to kiwi45. Just add tether under apn default type (default,tether)

i had this problem too, but i installed the gingerblur script (dev forum) and since you get the option to remove "bloatware", i am guessing there is an application in the phone that detects personal hotspot without an att tethering account.
you might want to freeze in titanium backup unneeded programs, there's a list on the forums
same problem
I search a solution in google,but,no result.
Anyone know it? please help us!!

you shouldnt have to freeze anything for mobile hotspot to work. did you put in the APN for your carrier? you cannot use the AT&T tether fix for your carrier you have to use your settings from your carrier.

You have to set your APN for your own carrier. Whatever works on AT&T does not matter in SG.

Just edit your APN to include "tether" in the Type field, i.e. Type: default -> Type: default,tether

try turning on your wifi before you turn on mobile hotspot. i get stuck at the setting up data link too when i don't have wifi enabled.
Anyway, when I use aroot, I don't need to add tether on my apn setting. Unless you are using super one click. Btw, all using soc should update to aroot to clean up the mess.
Updated: I still need to add tether on the apn after testing even I use aroot.

d-oh! i always tried enabling wifi after turning it on. now it works. thanks. but it still has a bug, because it won't let you disable hotspot if you don't turn on wifi first, you need a reboot
I still get stuck on setting up data link. I make sure wifi is enabled and when I click hotspot, wifi turns off. I rooted aroot over soc. Any ideas?
nvm I got it to work. Right after I selected hotspot, I pressed home and turned on wifi. That seemed to work.

I ended up adding "default,tether" to the APN type of my, manually entered, Rogers APN. This got the the tether working. Albeit it took a very long time for it to get the data network ready to use, but it worked. Perhaps the most disappointing thing is that the speed is ridiculously slow. On device, I get 3-6Mbps/380kbps, but via tethering the best I have been able to get is 500kbps/350kbps.
Anyone have any insight as to why the tethered speed is crushingly slow?

In a word, yes. The validation check seems to be checking if the tether type is there. I combed through the sqlite scripts and scoured the forums, etc.
The speed issue seems to be resolved today; it might have been a network issue.
Installed root axx selected pelephone 3G and still needs AT&T ****..why?
Well I m on Floyo 0.15 and had some issues with MMS sending/receiving.On stock 2.1 SE ROM when you have Mobile Data OFF,our X8s still automatically use GPRS to handle mms messages.On Floyo and other ROMS you need to turn it ON which may result in additional charges from your carrier if you don't use a prepaid internet data plan.
So what do you do in this case you may ask! Well if you only use WIFI for internet and still wanna use MMS you should customize APN Settings.
First google you carrier's APN settings for MMS and set it up manually.Be carefull to not use capital letters on some fields!
Then delete every other APN settings leaving Mobile Data ON all the time and Reboot!
This way you can MMS technology without any fear of additional internet charges. ;-)
APN Settings can be found in WIRELESS ->MOBILE NETWORKS->APN menu in any custom ROM!
Hope I helped someone here!
Cheers and enjoy your phones!

i am not sure how qsettings work, but it doesnt work by adding mess lines in the APN. and zap, no internet, yes mms

Thanks for the guidance. After I installing "quick setting" application, I'm finally successful sending MMS from my custom ROM X8
Glad to know that it works for you in x8!
ps: a bit becareful when you turn on/off wifi. in my case, 1st time i use it, when i turn off wifi, the 3g mobil turn on by itself. since they (wifi toggle and 3g mobile data toggle) are in the same box. just pay attention to 3g data toggle after u turn on/off your wifi. if it goes back on, just switch it off again and your good to go .
for me, it was just that one time though. after that, 3g data is always off no matter what i do with the wifi. i toggle 3g mobile data back on again only when i need it

** MOD EDIT - Please refrain from vulgar language **
You need to put it in GSM only mode in network to work off your sim. If its set to cdma it will only search for those specific networks. Also you can do a manual setup by using the codes in the dialer. Not sure if they work but try *#*#3282*#*# and you will need your msl from your carrier to access. Or root it and use the msl app from the market
Edit its ##3282#

What is most likely happening is that the phone is trying to roam by default on Pelephone's old CDMA network (they have not shut it down, it is running in parallel with their newer 850/2100Mhz UMTS network). You can try to go into Settings->Wireless Networks->Network Mode and change it to "Any GSM/UMTS". See if that helps.
becuase everytime after the stupid update i was restarting the phone its trying to
access the Sprint network from some reason.
after i was activated the phone the wifi stopped working entirely.
I'm on an un-activated Photon and just updated myself. I do not seem to have the Wi-Fi issue you are having. Maybe it's something else...

GUARDIANBD, I am not sure why you are having wifi problems. With respect to your network issues, please confirm that you have indeed changed your network mode to "Any GSM/UMTS". If you have not done this then by not registering on Cellcom, your phone is actually acting as designed. Please understand that this phone is primarily a CDMA phone with GSM/UMTS capabilities added by Sprint as a "bonus" to their customers who go overseas.
Sprint is a CDMA carrier and if your network mode is set to just "Any Network" then they have correctly designed it to first look for a CDMA signal. If it finds one (which in your case it is finding Pelephone's old network), then it ignores any GSM/UMTS networks. If you did indeed change your network mode to "Any GSM/UMTS" and it still is trying to lock onto Pelephone's CDMA network then (and only then) you are right, the phone's software does appear to have a bug in it.
the first thing after i powerdup the phone for the first time i changed it to GSM mode.
like i say'd before its a bug in this update so i want to reverse the process and
return to MR1 update.
if i restart the phone in Airplane mode the wifi works like a charm
but after i change it back to GSM (and for some reason enables the 4G network with it) it disconnected from wifi.
Is 4G enabled on your phone?
Again, if you aren't on Sprint, it would be pretty useless to have 4G enabled.
Un-check 4G in Settings->Wireless & Networks and see if that fixes the issue for you...

Hey guys, I just came off of the Galaxy Note to the S3. I never keep the data option enabled all day because of the battery drain, plus I just manually update all my sync'd apps anyway so there's no need for it to drain my battery & use up my pre paid credits at the same time.
My problem is this. With the galaxy note when I would go to either send or receive an MMS I wouldnt have to have my data connection permanently on. It would automatically enable the connection to send or recieve the incoming MMS, download the pic for me then automatically disconnect it when it was done. No muss no fuss. The GS3 does not automatically enable data to retrieve ur messages, you instead get a little download button in ur text you have to click. Problem is even after I enable data and click download to retrieve my mms, 95% of the time nothing happens, no activity is shown that the pic is actually being downloaded and you just end up staring at the screen for an hour until you get bored and turn it off, without your mms.
Is there a setting somewhere or something I can hack that will turn on the feature that will automatically enable data to retrieve your mms just like I had on the note? Its a bit hard to believe they'd have it on there then disable it on their brand new one. Not everyone likes to have data on all day :|
Thanks guys

Hey, I had the same problem and I just fixed it. it will take you about 10 seconds.
1. go to mobile networks in wireless and networks.
2. choose access point names
3. menu button and choose New APN.
4. Im on AT&T so this is what I put (may be different if you have some other carrier)
Name: ATT PHONE
APN: Phone
that's all you have to put, everything else will already have values in there so dont change them.
5. once youre done with this just choose the APN you just created and your MMS will work.
**If you have a carrier other than AT&T then maybe this will work exactly the same, just find a phone with the same carrier and copy what's already there.

Oh, that explains it. you could probably use the same method but copy the info from another phone using the Optus network. for example, here in the US, AT&T has several settings that I can choose from so if one doesn't work I can switch to another (which I did by inputting the info manually)
Maybe Optus has more than one setting so you can just use another. borrow a smartphone from someone and see what settings they have, if its different than what you're using now, try the one they have.
Hi
I also have this issue but it is important to note that there is nothing wrong with the MMS settings. The problem is caused by the S3 requiring Mobile Networking to be active to send and receive MMSs, but I choose to keep Mobile Network disabled unless I specifically wish to use it.
On my previous mobile of another make, even with Mobile Network disabled, the network would come to life to send and receive MMSs and then switch off again. The S3 does not behave this way and needs the Mobile Network to be specifically enabled manually.
This is an irritation! I would love to know if anyone has a fix or workround for this.
So.. there isn't a work around because its how they designed the phone eh. Is it something that they can tweak in a custom rom? Or do I just have to wait until the release the new galaxy note and hope they they put it back in again?

are you on AT&T? If so, with the Galaxy S the problem is not with your phone's settings but on AT&T's end. turns out that sometimes your phone just disconnects from their network and they have to reset it--takes the only about 2 minutes to do over the phone.
It's on US Cellular, calling then would fix it though?

Im not sure how US Cellular works. I have AT&T. before you called them you can check your settings and make sure mobile data is turned on and you can also check your APN settings. on my GS2 I have 2 settings for APN, one is AT&T the other is Cingular. on my Wife's GS3 she was having MMS issues so I added a second APN to her phone and it worked--for a while then it happened again, called AT&T and it was something on their end.

Thanks for that. Successfully did this for both Att & Vz variants.
Works! Successfully tested on SM-G900T1 MetroPCS running ViSX ROM (T-Mobile)
It works for a few hours. Woke up this morning and the same device connected said that it could not connect to the Internet. Still looking into it

Muniz, I found out that if I set my data to WCDMA (4G) it enables the Hotspot and let's users get on the Internet. When I enable 4GLTE, it disables access to the Internet. Do you know any way around it?

Are you saying that the mod is not necessary and hotspot can be enabled for all by switching to wcdma? Is this true for both MetroPCS and Tmobile?

No man, what I'm saying is that the mod works fine only on basic 4G. Not 4GLTE.

Got it, but I don't know what could be causing that. Others using the mod will have to chime in if they are having the same issue.

I would love to test it out on 4GLTE. Do you think there could be a check that stops it from enabling Internet for other devices?

Other devices should just see it as any other wifi access point. I am on att and lte is working without issues. Others on vz are also not having issues. I would be interested in hearing if tmobile users are having the same issue.
It's as if 4GLTE is blocked. If other variants are working. There has to be a setting that I could set inside my phone that should enable Internet.
can confirm not working on [ROM] Twi5ted Lollipop 5.0 V1 i am however using the native tether app.would it make a difference if i were use WiFi Tether Router byFabio Grasso,that was the app i was using on 4.2.
The native hotspot in the stock tmobile rom and the tmobile 5.0 visionx rom creates its own apn settings and always defaults and reverts to pc.tmobile.com apn. This mod will only disable tethering verification and turn hotspot on. The only method I found to work is to make tethering apn and lte apn editable through customer.xml file using root Explorer. LTE apn needs to be set to ipv/4 only, turn on hotspot and go to settings, apn, and delete the tethering apn. You have to delete tethering apn every time you connect to the hotspot because the apn gets recreated by the app. If someone could figure out why it gets recreated that'd be awesome so the hotspot could default to LTE fast t-mobile.com apn. I can't find anything even changing the tethering apn in customer.xml file doesn't work. It gets recreated every time you turn on hotspot, but can be deleted once made editable through customer.xml file.

As stated in the OP this is for stock builds only.

Lol, clearly stated. Anyways, my APNs are set to fast.metropcs.com. Not the default tmobile ones. It doesn't create any extra APNs.
In the customers.Xml, the LTE is ipv4 because I changed it thinking that the different protocols would interfere with the Internet access but it didn't. So I don't understand why it's still just 4G instead of LTE that is allowed through... Muniz, you think there is an area in the xml that we could change to test? Since there is a TMOBILE US Tethering section or something similar to that in that xml

I just ordered a G900T so will look into it once I have my new device and as time permits.
Thanks a lot. I been looking for this all over the web.
Working on G900T OZOP lollipop
If it's not too much of an issue, do you think you can post the customer xmls for both the Att and Verizon variants. To see if there's anything in there?
Also, do you know why it is only 4G speeds that are capable of going through?

Attached is the Vz customer.xml, it is very different. Also, try changing "pcweb.tmobile.com" to "fast.t-mobile.com" on line 348 of the Tmobile customer.xml. Worth a shot.
