Anyone tried Portable WiFi Hotspot application that comes with the phone?
I don't have a tethering plan, but when I enable it and connect to it, it doesn't even take to the T-Mobile page where it says I need to purchase a tethering plan. Just wondering if that's normal.
I thought this application worked on the Sensation for free.
Many people in the SGS2 forum are reporting being able to tether when using an older Sim card (not the one that cane with the phone)

That's interesting. I moved to the new SIM that came with the phone. Still have my old SIM. Anyone using an older SIM that didn't come with the Amaze?

Just tried an older sim in the Amaze, same result as the new sim. On my browser it's T-Mobile telling me that I need tethering on my account. Appears to be from the phone, not the SIM.

I can connect to my phone, but when I open a browser on my PC, it doesn't take me to the tether website. So what I'm saying is that something may be broken on my Amaze.

just came from the store again .. same rsults neither the sgs2 or amaze with either new or old sims have "free" hotspot.. you can however have it for 15 a month.. tmobile just became at&t
There is something going on that hasn't yet been figured out about tethering. Apparently its not the sim cards because people have varying results with new and old cards. It has something else to do with the phone or the account. And I'm not referring to whether it has been added to the plan.
Also, I'm seeing the same results reported for the sgs2 and the amaze.

So if you root your phone you can probably add tethering but then lose wifi calling when it becomes available. Looks like a no win here.

Well, I know I don't have to worry about any Gingerbread updates to my Vibrant. LOL
I currently have CM7 on it anyway, and tethering works just fine. I think the Sensation is supported by CM as well. Then you don't have to worry about an OTA that disables it.

Yup, CM7 is great but again you can kiss tmo wifi calling goodbye if you go that route. Why not just get a Nexus prime if you go that route?

No, no. I meant that I may just hang on to my Vibrant in addition to my Amaze, just for when I have a need to tether. I was going to sell it.
Just have to see how this all plays out. Glad I didn't try to sell it immediately, like I started to do.

Are you going to swap sim cards or have two accounts? Would be nice if you could at least dup the sim card and just use one phone powered up at a time without having to swap cards. If I had multiple sims for the same account I would do the same thing with my two nexus ones.

I am getting ready to trade for a Note tomorrow and I stumbled upon something in the development section in the root guide. A guy said he couldn't get data to work and someone else responded with this "I was having the same problem & had to use the LTE SIM card & switch my unlimited 3G plan over to an unlimited LTE plan. After that, my data started working". Does this mean that my Red Pocket plan will not work with the AT&T version of the note? I have to have an LTE Sim? I have been wanting this phone forever and if this is true Any insight would be great. Thanks
Are you trading in person? Just let the Guy know you will need to verify it works with your RP sim first.

I'm having to drive almost 2 hours to get the phone. I really don't want to make the drive to find out it won't. I just called my local at&t and told them I was planning on purchasing one off contract from them and ask them if it had to have an LTE sim. He said he had never heard of red pocket but he did said yes...it has to have an LTE sim....****!
Did you verify that it had to have an lte sim to get lte service or that it had to have an lte sim to work period? Big difference and one the normal CS Rep wouldn't know.

According to the guy in post 172 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218&page=18 It won't work at all. I will try to call CS at AT&T and try to find out more info.
The person that I'm trading with also has an iphone and is going to try its sim card when she gets home. I will post the results so it may help someone else in the future.
It could. People are having problems connecting to AT&T without an AT&T LTE SIM, but that doesn't mean the phone rejects SIMs from other carriers.
The iPhone SIM probably won't work on her Note by the way for the same reason, it's still AT&T. You're much better off calling Red Pocket and seeing what they say.
EDIT: You might see if anyone here as activated their Note on T-Mo as well. If they have, then you can feel pretty confident it will work on Red Pocket because you know it will work on non-AT&T/LTE SIM cards.

Call AT&T and check the Android development section and supposedly there is a LTE sim. I don't have to "unlock" an AT&t phone for red pocket because it uses AT&T towers. I just read where you couldn't get data without a LTE sim on this phone and thats what I'm trying to find out. Not trying to be a **** but I'm driving an hour and a half for a hell of a trade for the Note and just don't want to waste my time...AND GAS!

Hi,
I just got a new Note for my mom. She is coming from an iPhone 3gs. Do I need to get her a new SIM card? The customer service reps at AT&T said that I do not, but won't that mess up the speed of the phone and stuff like that? Just wondering.

It'll work , but not lte. I would get a new one. Of course they told me I needed a new one. At least At&t is consistent.
Yes, Lte requires an lte SIM, if you are in an lte area you'll need one to get the best speeds. If lte is not in your area yet you don't really need a new one.
All you need to do is look at the sim num and if its a 25 for 9th and 10th digit then ur good. If its less than that u need a new sim

My data wouldn't connect at all until I got an LTE sim. You can download the speed test app to confirm. Also, if you haven't modified it yet, the carrier badge will show what network you're connected to.

They tell you that you have to have the newer sim card no matter what, that is a load of crap. If you have an older simply you have to change the APN setting, but it will still work. Only thing that wouldn't work would be LTE

The 3GS used a standard sim card whereas the 4 and 4S use the micro, so it'd transfer over just fine

It is needed if you want to take advantage of all data speeds. Yeah you can aupposedly change your apn settings but not everyone who buys an lte phone knows about changing them. When 4g lte phones first came out so many people called in cuz they got new phones. Didnt want to use the new sim ao when the data plan was put to the correct one data still didnt work. Had them use the new sim and issue resolved. End of story

While we are on the topic of simcards (i figured better to ask here then make a new topic) I'm currently in the republic of Georgia and my host mother really likes my galaxy note. while Sam sung phones are very popular here the note is not here. if she was to buy a note online could be put a Georgian simcard in it? the guy at the at&t store before i left said something about the code not being unlocked yet or something so someone there would have to know what they are doing. i know there is a international version so if possible should she buy that person?
The international version comes unlocked meaning that it can use any sim card. I believe you can get it online for between 450 and 550 USD, but I've not looked at prices for a few months.

The inernational N7000 version is just a little bit different than at&t i717 on the capacitive buttons area. But other than that she won't see any difference. That would be a sweet gift.
Ok thanks for all the replies. From what I have been told, she can keep the 3GS card which fits just fine, and she can keep her old 250MB data plan for now since she barely used any of that data with the iPhone. But I'm suspecting now that she can actually see the screen and she has been playing around with this phone more in the past week than she has with the iPhone in the past 3 years, I better upgrade her soon. Oh, the reason she didn't get a new SIM card, is that this phone was an insurance replacement for my old phone. And I got a new phone in the mean time while waiting (S3). So we are both happy, but I miss my screen real estate!!!
Thanks,

XDA is no longer worth my time.
Hello folks, after lots of research I found myself compelled to open a new thread about this problem. I read in some places that it&t locks its devices not letting the phone use WiFi tether. Well, I unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone, and im currently using elegancia Rom. Im not really interested in WiFi, only in tethering. I tried different roms and the results were the same.

Are you on a share plan or a regular plan with AT&T? I know that Tethering is included for free with Share plans but AT&T charges extra if your on a different plan. You may need to have the feature added to your account.

Then you may have to reach out to your carrier to make sure you have the feature enabled. Most likely it is being blocked by your local carrier.

I hardly think so... I had a HOX and everything worked like a charm.
I just bought the full version of PDAnet and I'm using it. It's a shame to have to buy an app to do something that the phone itself should do by itself.

Especially with carriers charging for a feature thats bulit in your phone.

No rom has broken wifi.
To get mms working you need a rom that's gsm only/based off the butterfly.
The sim error is a hardware issue. It has nothing to do with the rom your running or the fact that your using gsm.
And this is strictly a Verizon phone.

newsflash: this is a STRICTLY a vzw phone
because verizon made it (and most of its lte phones) "global" phones to support its customers who travel overseas, its possible to use on gsm networks....which is great and may gsm users pick up verizon devices now
this doesnt mean however, that everything is going to work perfectly for using the dna on other providers.....do not confuse this phone with an unlocked non-branded device....it was created as a verizon lte device
well i live on mexico and i use GSM... and i dont have any issue and my phone is a Verizon...
SIM errors can be fixed by putting a piece of scotch tape on the plastic (read: the side without the metal contacts) side of the SIM. This is a common issue in HTC phones with a SIM tray instead of a slot.

I just don't understand why someone would buy this phone, expecting to use it on a different carrier. Why not use a phone designed for that carrier's network? That's like buying a phone that is S-on and expecting S-off. You can hope it comes along, but to just expect it is unrealistic.
Yes, I get that the specs on this phone are/were a motivator, but it's not fair to the phone to get mad because you can't make the phone do something it was never advertised to do. And despite the claims to the contrary, some ROMs work just fine for what you're trying to do.

Okay, to this was a short-lived thread for a reason. But, since it's been revived I'll add that I bought a nice used DNA and I'm a T-Mo customer. Even stock, it worked great on T-Mo here. Granted, I don't live in a 4G T-Mo area anyway so I'm not missing the latest in high-speed data.... anyway, stock I was very pleased. The only thing which didn't work was the wifi hotspot.
Move forward a couple of weeks and now I'm running NOS M7 on it. Thanks to this great forum for the help with that. Wifi hotspot works great, the ROM is robust, and I couldn't be happier.
So, I'm not on Verizon. I'll be using this on T-Mo in the States and on a couple of foreign SIMs when traveling for work. And I love the DNA.

Im going to explain this problem in a depth as i can.
I am s-off'd via jtagged, rooted and have twp recovery. I am on newest radio running NOS M7 v2.0.3
I can only connect to 3G for some reason with it reading eHRPD.
i do not know if it was reading this before i started the process of rooting since i never turn the phone completely on once i got it back.
So after some reading and advice i downloaded LTE on off to force 4G
It worked but at the cost of losing my mobile network causing me to not be able to make calls or send out text but i have 4G i can get on the internet.
Atm i am plagued with having 3G and service or using 4G w/o service... and this is a problem.
Also while on 4G it reads RSRP if that helps.
Idk if this is a hardware problem from me getting my device jtagged (which would suck since that means im stuck with it) or if it can be fixed.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated since im getting annoyed

I am s-off'd via jtagged, rooted and have twp recovery. I am on newest radio running NOS M7 v2.0.3
I can only connect to 3G for some reason with it reading eHRPD.
i do not know if it was reading this before i started the process of rooting since i never turn the phone completely on once i got it back.
So after some reading and advice i downloaded LTE on off to force 4G
It worked but at the cost of losing my mobile network causing me to not be able to make calls or send out text but i have 4G i can get on the internet.
Atm i am plagued with having 3G and service or using 4G w/o service... and this is a problem.
Also while on 4G it reads RSRP if that helps.
Idk if this is a hardware problem from me getting my device jtagged (which would suck since that means im stuck with it) or if it can be fixed.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated since im getting annoyed

What carrier are you on?
In any case, I would RUU back to stock, including kernel, and see if I get 4G. Make sure 4G is available in your area....?
Look in mobile connection make sure you have 4g enabled...

I had the same problem when I got my phone back. Took it back to Verizon and got a new phone. I tried everything and nothing worked. It is like something happened to the radio. Tried to flash a new one nothing. Still haven't heard back from mtv on trying to get a refund.

Sigh thats something i wanna avoid so Ill just have to stay stuck until moonshine comes out. I really like sense 5 and I don't wanna go back to 4+... Then I'll get a replacement I guess.
As far as RUU to stock and seeing if I was on LTE I already did all that. I was almost looking into build.props but I assumed that wouldnt work either. So guess I'm just stuck on 3G unless it randomly wanna come back which I doubt unless somebody comes up with a solution besides just getting a replacement.

I had this happen after using my nexus. Somehow my SIM got corrupted. 4g worked on the galaxynexus but not my DNA. New SIM card fixed it. Try going to Verizon and asking for a new SIM card.

Thank you that fixed it. It took two Sims but I got everything working and now I have the ultimate phone.

Awesome. I would like to know why it does this. It's nice to use my nexus every once in a while. But now I can't without needing a new sim.

I mean I doubt this is it but I had a really old sim card since 4G first came out. I would test this but I don't want it to happen again. Lol

I have the same issue that you are having. I am glad I was not the only person to have this happen I am going to put my phone back to being S-On and locked with the factory ROM and then head to Verizon to get a new SIM card.

That's more than likely not necessary if ur just getting a new SIM card. U shouldn't have an issue even if ur s off and unlocked. SIM cards r free.

Correct they are free, but the guy I tend to see at the Verizon store always seems to launch that hboot screen everytime I go in there. He did when I had the SIM card swapped earlier in the year as it would disconnect from my network several times a day. So I just want to be on the safe side.
I had my SIM card replaced twice on my resound and both times went to the store without relocking the bootloader or anything. Didn't have any issues. They programmed the new card and I was on my merry way. Maybe call em first and without giving any of ur account information ask if u can get a new SIM card if uv rooted ur phone. It would suck to go thru that process if it's not necessary but I can certainly understand the better safe than sorry approach. The phone call would definitely be worth the time though imo.

Just go in and ask for a new sim card. No need to waste your time relocking and s-on'ing your phone.

So I got the issue resolved without a new SIM card. So here is a combo of things I did to resolved the issue. I have everything in the link below.

I think it was resolved after I flashed my radio and then I went back to stock just in case I have any more issues in the next week. As if I do I will go back to the Verizon store and swap out my phone. But I'd rather be S-ON in case that happens and be that way for a bit. Plus I wanted to test the S-ON for future purposes of in case I needed to get back there I knew how to.
