Has anyone noticed whether or not the SSH port and other ports are being blocked on the Atrix?
Note: I do not have an Atrix. Someone asked me to check/verify for them as they tried to check at the AT&T store but no one would let them or could answer their questions. But they were able to test at Best Buy and found that some ports were blocked.
Thanks.

So I called parrot to find out about the Dun feature where you can connect to the internet via bluetooth. They told me that it will not work with my Samsung and will only work with Motorola. I have tried several times with my Galaxy s2 and had no luck. He also told me that I can use USB tethering to make it work, but the carrier will charge about $25 a month. Tmobile charges about 15 a month, but of course, i dont want to pay that! I am rooted. I am wondering how I can USB tether without having to pay for it? I know there are apps like pdanet and usb tether lite but the problem that I am facing is that it requires me to install the software on to my computer to use. Since it is not a computer that I am trying to connect it to, but a car stereo, I am having an issue. I thought, hey maybe I can search for an app that doesnt require me having to download any software, but thats not looking so good. So here is my question. WHAT DO I DO? does anyone know of any tethering apps that will work for me? thanks in advance for your help.
Weird issue, I get no phone or data service unless I am in an AT&T hotspot. Anybody know what the issue could be?
Samsung Galaxy S2 i777
I've had the phone about 2 years and have had no problems until last week when I changed out the micro usb port.
Any thoughts are welcome, particularly related to how access within a hotspot is different than outside of one.
Thanks!

I've come to understand that the micro-usb port for these phones is tied to the network radio antenna, and there are different versionsrevisions of the part available. Considering that the wifi system is not related, it makes sense that you are able to connect to "hot-spots". I've read mention of people finding success after switching to a different "version/revision" (printed on the port/radio) of the unit.
I have also read that users are cutting the board to separate the new USB charge port from the useable data radio antenna.
If I find a link to one of those posts, I'll link it here, but that's my guess.

Edit: Here is the same issue, so definitely related to charge-port replacement...
- This post says that genuine equipment matters
- Here is a post citing success by separating (cutting) the useable antenna from the damaged USB port.
- This page finds success via cutting the board, or using one particular ebay seller. good luck.

Replaced old usb and new antenna -- still no service
Update: I put the old usb port in and still no service (recall that i used to have service with old usb, just couldn't charge).
Also, put in new antenna, and still no service.
Now the question is why would I no longer have service with my old usb?
Are you sure that you plugged that antenna cord back onto the board? The original should certainly give you signal if it did before.
No firmware changes? no apn changes? Was there anything else that you changed recently?
I have service with Net10 and up until last month I've been able to tether to my laptop without any issues. Right now, I can connect but as soon as I try to access a site or a search it just shows that it is searching or connecting but never does....just basically sits on the main screen. I have been using FoxFi and Onboard Tether with the Mods to SQLite. If anyone else on Net10 is having these issues please confirm and if anyone knows of a "fix", please help
Also, if anyone knows of a service that uses at&t or verizon towers that you can tether with...please share. Thanx !!

I can't seriously be the only one with this problem....
So My old galaxy S4 with cyanogenmod which tethered unlimited without a problem broke last week when I tried to replace the screen and destroyed the digitizer.
I bought this J327p and now my primary source of internet is gone with the tethering limitations.
If I can't get this to work I am returning it tonight.
I rooted the phone and I tried the easily searchable suggestions people have to get this working.
One guy suggested an app called Wifi Tether Router but you have to pay for it and I don't want to do that if it's not guaranteed to work.
I edited the boot.prop file but that also didn't work.
Does anyone know anything I can do to get tethering to work, if not what phone do you suggest I buy at a maximum $250. I really don't need much from my phone except good reception for internet.
I downloaded this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/rom-pl1-samsung-galaxy-j3-emerge-sm-t3580396
But I'm not sure what that is or if I should try it.
any useful suggestions really appreciated.
Also this is a bit over my head so please use full explanations and definitions of terms.
use easytether pro it usrs yr adb to create a parallel data sourced internet, juts plug it in usb and download the modem /drivr of mobilesrteam.com
Being a new member, I'm limited on where I can post. Hope I'm in the right area I found this site and it looks like someone here would be the most likely to give some insight to my question.
I've been through several "rugged" smartphones in the last few years. They all have held up to their claims of being rugged but fail on the least likely areas. I'm now looking at the Kyocera Duraforce. I need a GSM phone for my area. I can get a new one reasonably priced but I sure do like the hotspot feature when it's called for. I'm on an unlimited plan from my local provider. It looks like the unlocked ones from AT&T are designed to not allow the hotspot to work on any other network other than AT&T.
So my question is if anyone has found a way to make this possible on an unlocked Duraforce phone? My last phone died the other day and my wife is nagging that I NEED A PHONE. I was late picking up our youngest at the bus stop the other day Hope someone could offer a potential solution? I'm a techie by trade, but I admit Android is a mystery to me.
I used the PdaNet+ app available on the Google Play store to get around the hotspot restriction on my AT&T Duraforce E6560 so I could use it as a hotspot on the Telus network in Canada. You can try the app for free, but costs US$10 to remove the trial restrictions.
PdaNet+ can enable USB tethering and/or create a Wi-Fi Direct hotspot on the phone. You have to install a small app on your computer to connect to the hotspot or USB. So it wouldn't provide a hotspot for a TV or game console unless you could set up a proxy on the device.
I haven't tried the USB tethering, but the hotspot works fine with my Windows 10 laptop.
