Does art see it, does your bill change?
I don't get it...does this apk make the checking of the wifi tether disappear? As in disabling the status of att checking whether you have the plan or not.
No more orange wifi tether logo?

Add the t-mobile hungary apn manually in settings/wireless &networks/mobile network/ access point.
then run the app and it will show up at the buttom.

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?
Tether Woes
I was using the atrix hotspot in india on airtel carrier on rooted phone but now after update I have lost that function. Keep getting error msg to contact at&t to activate.
Downloaded this APK but still no good ??? Help please.

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.

Whilst using the root for my xperia x10 I ran into a problem, I couldn't use data on apps other than my browser(couldn't download anything either) but the only way to fix this is to go to Settings>Wireless Controls> Mobile Networks>Access Point Names... from there delete GoRogers, then press you options button and select New APN, put in Name- Rogers, Apn- rogers-core-appl1.apn, then save and you 3g access will be once more. Hope I helped, have a cheeky day
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is only on the rogers network, sorry..
Edit: if core-rogers-appl1.apn didnt work call rogers to refresh network.

After rooted to Build Number R2BA023, my 3G was not working.
So here is what i did ... by common sense (NO DISRESPECTED TO ANYONE).
Restart the x10i > goto into setting > Wirless controls > Network operators > Select automatically > then Auto internet settings > choose your operator (ie vodafone contract, PAYG etc).
Then my 3g is working .... easy, no fucing about with setting or inputting stuffs.
Oh yes, I am on vodafone contract with UK network. Dont know if this will work in different region.

the last part is very true.
with the auto-settings my 3g was slow and either than browsing no other internet function would work. i used the settings for 3g for rogers i found on the internet and everything works, and fast and now the market works on 3g(couldn't get it to work on 3g with the auto-settings).
dam this is a good fix!
is there a difference between entering rogers-core-appl1.apn and internet.com for Rogers apn in Canada?
internet.com just allows data to work, while the core-appl1 apn allows both data and mms to work.
the auto select apn feature sets up rogers phones with the goam.com access point, not internet.com or appl1. not sure what the difference is but the goam.com only seems to allow the browser to work. might be for those plans that allow unlimited mobile web surfing for cheap price?

you definitely do not want to use an android device without a data account, so if you have access to data but no data plan you could be setting yourself up for a huge bill!!
I'm not sure if this is just me or what... but ever since I have rooted, rogers My Account app wont show my data usage. It says 0mb used, when clearly I've used it way more... even downloaded apps using 3g from the market. I used the internet.com apn. Also it doesn't display my data usage on the rogers site either.. it says 0mb again. I can see all my minutes that I've used for voice and my texts but data sais nothing used. Am I somehow spoofing my data usage to rogers? I'm confused.

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

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.

** 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#

Why do you need your phone activated on Sprint if you're not going to be using Sprint?

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...

I pay for T-Mobile (US, on a Rogers Lumia) tethering, and it's been working great for me on HSPA+. Had to do the keyboard trick a few times to get it working since I installed Access Point some time ago, but otherwise fine.
A few days ago my area got refarmed with LTE, which gives a new indicator by the signal bar ('LTE') and also is resulting in some nice speeds.
The problem is, it's creating a new tethering issue. When I'm on an LTE signal and try to enable Internet Sharing, I get a message about 'not having a cell connection'. I do seem to have one, as I can make and receive calls just fine, and data works fine as well. This is a new message. If I'm in an area with just HSPA+ sharing works again.
Is this a Rogers ROM restriction, an Access Point restriction, or an issue on Tmo's end? Hopefully not the latter, I don't think I'm going to get anywhere with a rep on this issue.
Don't install Access Point app, it disables the internet sharing option.

Factory reset the phone, didn't install access point, same issue. I can enable tethering on 4G but as soon as I get an LTE signal, tethering is blocked in the Internet Sharing settings page with a message saying "no cell connection found" or something similar, even though I have both a working LTE connection and cell connection on the phone.
Rogers ROM issue, maybe?

I don't recall having MMS issues, though it's possible I never recieved any. The tethering fix I finally settled on was just switching back to '3G' in the cellular settings, which gets me 4G HSPA+ tethering which was good enough for my purposes. It's almost certainly a restriction of the Rogers ROM.

I tried the 3G tethering with reboot and it still gives me the upsell message.
Are there other ROMs that will work with the Rogers Lumia 920? Or will that brick the phone?
I remember with the Lumia 900 I could use a Mexican Firmware to get MMS and Tethering that worked great but I heard (months ago) of people bricking their Rogers 920s by putting on AT&T ROMs.

Do you get an upsell message, or a "cellular data not enabled" message?
For the former, installing and then removing a foreign language keyboard update via the keyboard settings will still work, if you actually do have T-Mobile tethering on your line. You still won't be able to tether on LTE though, because you'll get the "cellular connection not enabled message".

I've heard of people having success with the Euro Dev firmware, if you have an unlocked phone. Though after Nokia's locking-down of Naviform it's going to be harder to find that. And no, don't flash an AT&T ROM, it will screw you up.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
The keyboard trick used to work perfectly but no longer works for me (I tried adding different ones and restarting, no joy).
I do pay for 500MB of tethering on T-Mobile USA and they insist it should work when I call. There is a problem with the phone that reads: "Add Internet sharing? Your current data plan doesn't include Internet sharing. Do you want to open an app from your mobile operator to add it? Internet sharing uses your cellular data and may incur additional charges 'yes' 'no'".
I didn't hear about Nokia locking down Naviform. Lame. Maybe I can find someone who has a copy that can do the firmware update for me.
Euro Dev firmware might be an option if I can find Naviform. Have to re-install Windows on my Mac Laptop via Bootcamp. Think I have to do a bit of work to pull one of the two hard drives and re-install the DVD drive which I pulled out a few weeks ago to have more space. Sadly, I deleted my Windows partition. :silly:
However... I never installed Access Point on my wife's Lumia 920 and her sharing works (though no reliable MMS). I may just swap phones with her since she never uses internet sharing.
one of the OTA updates fixed this

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.

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.
