I have my contract with O2 UK and with that I get free access to BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspots. Unfortunately at I am unable to login via the landing page when I type my number in. I have reset my wifi account as instructed by O2, in essence, unregistering my number with BT openzine and re-registering it. Openzone ahs some sort of validation feature that checks if the phone you are using if approved by the network proivder for use on open zone. I have rooted my phone but have not installed any custom roms etc. Do you think rooting has effect my ability to connect to the hot spots?
I have just purchased a GS2 (not rooted yet) but I also have a Nexus one that has been rooted for some time and I get BT fon no problem.
I also have the same problem. Apparently the Samsung Galaxy S II is so new that they haven't had time to accredit it with BT Openzone and The Cloud yet. I spoke to a nice chap at O2 who is making enquiries and promised to ring me when more news is available.
Openzone is also fairly hit-and-miss.... I've got Infinity and obviously access to OZ/Fon is included, never was able to connect anywhere (don't even get the landing page half the time) be it with the netbook or phone so I opted out . It's unforunately quite common, there's a lot of threads on the subjet in the BT forum. Might opt back in at some point just to see if it's got any better.

I'm using an XDA T-Mobile PPC (SX56 ATT unlocked with 4.01.16 and Radio ver 6.25.02).
I wanted to see if anyone had the same problem and can help getting me back on WAP. Currently not signed up for any data plans, but using the GPRS WAP. Been unable to connect to the internet since last Weds. Antennna confirms that GPRS is connected from the signal using the the standard TM configuration from this site. IE hangs and eventually times out with a page not found. When the handheld is in the cradle, IE connects to the internet without problems.
Prior to this downtime it's been pretty solid, accessed as expected and never had this issue before. Did a hard reset to rebuild, but not fixed, however did notice the network search has recently been slow. Not sure some changes happened since TM stores started receiving the HP6315.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
TIA
Almost the same
I am having almost the same problem, but only with T-Mobile. When I switch to another service (AT&T or Orange) it works fine, but will not work with the OEM service with T-Mobile.
In fact, the only way to get it to work with T-Mobile SIM chip is to use it calling a IP (hence using my minutes)
Anyone know whats wrong
Hi Y´all.
Did a search on this without any luck. There isn´t any forum specifically for Huawei U8650 (sonic) and i think this might be an android issue.
I bought this phone for my stepdaughter on her 13´th birthday and i can´t for the life of me figure out how to acheive data connection.
This is what i have tried:
1: The SIM-card used for test is my own card, normally running flawlessly in my Desire HD. It therefore stands to reason that the there is no problem with the service provider.
2: SMS and voice dial generally performs as expected. One odd thing strikes me though:
Any bog standard sms from another phone is recieved as always.
The service provider has a "setup by sms" service and there is a setup for the Sonic as well. That sms isn´t recieved.
Can an android phone be locked to a fixed country? has anyone ever heard Huawei doing such a thing ?
The phone is tested in Greenland but was bought in Denmark.
The phone was not bought through a service provider but a bog standard electronics webshop. thus - no contract.
2g & 3g network are enabled.
Access points for MMS & GPRS are set up as instructed by service provider.
Phone has been set up to choose automatically between 2g & 3g network allthough fixed 2g & 3g connection respectively has been attempted.
The phone has been for a check up under guarantee - came back with a clean bill of health.
Here´s what really confuses me:
When i scan for available networks the phone can actually see both 2g & 3g network
Pretty much the only thing that i haven´t yet tried is rooting the handset and trying another rom.
I´m going to travel to Denmark in a couple of months and am considering bringing the handset with me for further testing.
There it will also be possible to show up in person at the store and get them to show me it works. I am therefore not inclined towards rooting since it, most likely, will be a guarantee "gotc`ha"
please help - my mental health is at stake :silly:

Hello all, I'm hoping someone can shed a little light on an "interesting" problem I'm having with my new phone. This may be my first post on here, but I have scoured this and other forums trying to come up with an answer but alas have found nothing, so here goes:
I am currently using Simple Mobile which operates on T Mobile's network. I have near-perfect signal at home but can't seem to use the damned thing for Facebook, Tapatalk, Zynga games, internet, etc without my interent connection timing out on me. I recently switched from Comcast to Dish Network and no longer have wifi at home so this is killing me.
This phone screams on wifi, and it seemingly works fine everywhere else via my data connection except at home. I normally show an H or an E at home. From what I understand T Mobile is replacing all of its edge circuits with HSPA+, so I'm thinking they just haven't got around to upgrading the tower closest to my house as of yet. I decided to get my girlfriend prepaid service on T Mobile with that $30 per month 5GB plan through Walmart and slapped the sim in my old Motorola Defy and it works great. However, if I put that same sim in my phone I'm back to square one with the same data connection problems, so I know this is not a problem with Simple Mobile (plus like I said as long as I am not at home my phone works well, too.).
So here's the real kicker -- if I use the PDANet+ app on my phone and turn on the wifi hotspot, it works just fine when I connect using my home desktop computer! This is so aggravating, why would I time out with my data connection for my own phone but as a hotspot it work flawlessly??? I'm pretty close to giving up on T Mobile because what good are they if I can't get a data connection on the phone itself at home?
Also I should mention that all of the APN settings are definitely correct. Perhaps there is a baseband selection that I can't find somewhere in the Blu Studio 5.0 d530 that may help (I know there's one in the Motorola Defy). Maybe it's because T Mobile recognizes that my phone is not a T Mobile branded phone (but the Defy IS), and if so, how can they push the whole "bring your own phone" thing so hard?
In any event, I may try just switching to Straight Talk but I really don't want to go through the hassle of porting my number and all that -- plus I'm not sure how good their signal is in my area. A search online for closest cell towers to my address results in T Mobile by a longshot.
Any help is appreciated, guys -- I'm frustrated to no end here.

Use Google Translate, if needed. Basically it just says that is the stock 4.1.2 rom with no carrier bloat.
I'm trying to pair my S6 edge to my TL but I keep getting blocked by the trusted devices menu.
Basically I'm able to start the pairing process and setup a pair code but when my car asks me to name the device the pairing process stops. I get a notification that asks me to add the car to my trusted devices list but when I do my car keeps telling me I can't start the pairing process from the phone. It's like if I have to add my car to the trusted devices list before I start pairing in order to finish pairing the car and phone. Is there any way to disable to smart lock so I can pair my car? I never had any issues with previous galaxy devices.
It's worthy to note that I was able to pair my Gear 2 and Nexus 9 without all this hassle
thanks.

What year TL?
I wouldn't trust a TL either LOL. Works fine for BMW M3 with iDrive
Works on my 2012 TL but BT track info doesn't display which sucks!

I was able to make a video with what exactly happens that prevents me to pair my phone and my car. Basically, i can go though the entire process but when i get to the part where i have to name the phone it cuts me off. Then I have a "trusted devices" message that pop up on the phone asking me to pair with my car to add it to the trusted list, and when i go in bluetooth devices, it does say pair. Usually it should say connected. When I try to connect to it in BT devices, it asks me for my 4 digit code and after I input it, my car tells me the pairing process can't be initiated from the phone...I don't know what to do, this is the first phone i was not able to pair. I think its a lollipop thing but i cant confirm because my note 4 that ran lollipop was already paired with the car when i got the OTA 4.4 to 5.0.

Bump!
I also made a thread on an Acura forum if anybody is interested
http://acurazine.com/forums/audio-b...air-05-tl-galaxy-s6-edge-931791/#post15466470
Turn off Smart Lock? Settings> Lock Screen and Security > Other Security Settings > Trust Agents and uncheck Smart Lock?
one of the first things i tried. Thx anyways
Important update.
I was able to pierce the mystery of my pairing problem. It seems as not all S6 edge are created equal.
Long story short, my dad got himself a new car, Benz GLA250, thats comes with networking capabilities when paired with a smartphone. His company supplied iphone didnt share the network connection with the car so he asked me to try with my S6. As i tried to enable bluetooth tethering, i couldnt find it. I made a few searches on XDA and found that some people are complaining about missing functions on their edge, BT tethering was one of the main features some people didnt have, others were missing some toggles also. It seems as some phones dont have it. Don't ask me why because its not a carrier restriction, some people on T-Mo had it, others didnt.
The only solution was to flash a custom rom with BT tethering enabled. As I didnt want to go through the entire flashing process, and also because i didnt want to trip knox in case it break SamsungPay, i called up my friend that had the same phone I didnt and found out he also didnt have BT tether. Since he didnt care about knox or Samsungpay, i flashed him a custom rom and was fianlly able to pair my TL with the edge, and was also able to connect to my dads car.
So i guess it's a software problem. Not sure why that option was left out for some, but i guess it'll be fixed in the upcoming 5.1.1 update. Also worth noting that samsung did release a fix for the missing toggles through an app in the galaxy store.
Does anybody know why BT tethering is gone on my variant? I've heared of some carriers taking out that option (and hotspot) but that was mostly because of the unlimited data plans, but in canada they never block anything on our variants, neither the bootloader or any other function.
Has anybody with an S6 edge W8 also have the BT tethering missing?
I'm trying to pair my galaxy s6 edge to my acura mdx 2006, and i can't do it. Is my phone too new to my car?
Just in case anybody is still interested in this problem, I found out that this "era" of TL ('04-'08) ONLY accepts cell phones from this time period.
Meaning if one doesn't have a cellphone dating back from these years "IT AIN'T GONNA WORK!" There is a cellphone compatibility list online
that one can find out which cellphone works from multiple makers and carriers.
And the answer to your question....YES, its too new.
Suggested by admin to post here.........I have a J700m 5.1.1 lollypop, Baseband J700MUBU1AOL2, Kernel 3.10.61-919542, build LMY48BJ700MUBU1AOL2, SE for Android Enforcing SEPF_SMJ700M_5.1.1_0043, KNOX 2.4 ........, and am trying to use it as a hotspot and/or USB teather to access internet. All devices connect to phone/router....DHCP on router/phone work fine,,,assign DNS, IP, Gateway .... all looks good. Phone will surf without problems, but will not pass traffic as a router to internet. Tried setting up as static connection, rebuilt APN, New SIM, Factory reset, etc.. talked to local Telco(Pine Cellular in S.E. Oklahoma). Swap SIM to old phone and all is fine.Pine is a GSM provider with no restrictions. I can ping phones internal IP 192.168.1.14, but nothing outside of phone using it as a router(8.8.8.8)....Phone will pass all traffic to and from handset(phone surfs fine) just not through gateway. I am out of ideas except 2... could it be trying to pass all traffic through VPN that does not exist/ not set up or needed..or something like wlan=disabled.....or something like that? Hope this makes sense because I don't want to downgrade phones and they do not have a clue...Samsung is horrible, even second tier support . It acts like a firewall on the phone or similar is blocking all traffic when used as a router to internet....wifi hotspot, USB tether nothing works. Tried installing FoxFi...same. One of the Techs thinks it is firmware issue because the phone is from the Mexican market and I am in US. I thought about rooting and flashing a new rom, but it is a new phone so by, by warranty.... I have 2 of these, mine and my wives. I have rooted, bricked and repaired my old XCover so I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous.
+++++++++++++More info++++++++++++ my reply to answer from Android Central member who thought it was blocked by provider.
........I thought the same thing( telco blocking tether)...spent hours on the phone with techs. The company is small and has only 3 techs. I can swap my sim card to my old phone, daughters phone and a old Moto Blur and all work perfect... One thng I noticed when using USB tether on a win7 machine....connects ...DHCP assigns IP, DNS...etc and I get a balloon in the lower right corner of PC " additional login may be needed, click to open browser.." as if I was at a hotel or something... I contacted the CEO and was told there is no blocking of connection sharing. I tried to talk her out of a S5 in trade, but that was a no go.
The Telco wants me to take a different phone,(a huawei).. 16G down to 8G on phone, 5.5" screen to 5", 1.5G ram to 1G....... nothing they want to switch to is comparable and I am signing a 2 year contract, it is like signing a lease for a Cadillac Escalade and they want me to accept a stripped Tahoe with cloth seats for the same price. I would love to find the problem.
Thanks for any help.
