On rocko 3.0 locked for sprint mopho.
I get force close in wifi settings when scanning wifi networks at school which has wpa enterprise
But I was able to use an external wifi settings app to obtain access to the guest network of the school but can't use it to access the enterprise network due to incompatibility
If you need more info let me know, for now I stick with 3g and 4g
And is there a way to turn off 3G to save battery on this rom? I looked in settings and tried using external app (GoSwitch), to no avail.
Thanks in advance guys
You should be able to disable 3g(data) its called mobile data in most ROMs, never used a locked ROM but its there in stock ROM so it should be somewhere under network settings.
Oh yeah, I know its called mobile data. I believe this specific ROM doesn't have a way to turn it off I think.
Thanks for the input though, anyone else have any ideas?

I am still learning android...
I want to use tethering on my carrier in Venezuela, but when i try to enable hotspot it says i'm now allowed should call at&t and such... I know tethering and hotspot isn't the same, but i want to do the following:
-Enable personal hotspot on the phone to allow my laptop to connect to it and get connection (if somehow my home adsl connection drops and my phone is ok)
-Enable tethering over usb, so the battery doesn't suffer while being connected
I had to add my APN manually, a friend with the motorola milestone told me the apn name and settings and apn type is set on: default,dun
What are the possible values for this setting? I know from the tethering mod that it could be: default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether. By the way we don't have tethering plans down here, do i still need this tethering mod? Because i haven't installed it.
would appreciate any input from you guys. I have searched google and there doesn't seem to be much info about apn types

For WIFI tethering, have your phone rooted and to where you can side load, and try this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
or this http://www.mediafire.com/?yzerk3nglqof1kk
(Not sure if the'll work because they didn't for me, but they did for other Atrix users)
And for USB tethering, thats easy, and for sure works. Try either Easy Tether (my favorite) : http://www.mobile-stream.com/easytether/android.html
Or PdaNet: http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I managed to get this to work. I basically turned on hot spot then it loads up ands says connecting or something similar. Now put phone in flight mode. Then take out of flight mode. It should now connect. Worked for me. Im in the uk on hutchinson3.

You don't get the message stating that you need to call at&t for the tethering plan?

Hi guys,
I'm running Android 2.2 on my Touch Pro2, and since I have only 50MB of data/month (for now), I would like to disable background data when I'm not on Wifi and enable it when I'm connected to a network. Is that possible? I tried with Tasker, but it doesn't seem to work :/
Thanks
Sam
Disable mobile data. You can use wireless when it is disabled.

try apn on/off on the market for mobile data
Yeah, that was my last solution... In fact, it should do the work I guess, but if for example I want to go on Facebook when I'm on the bus, I'll have to enable it and the background data with it ... well, I'll give it a try and see if it's good for me! Thanks
Hello,
I'm about to be an owner of one of these units, however I do not plan on signing up for tmobile service.
I had an HTC EVO View 4G and there were quite a few roms out there that disabled the sprint activation on boot and a script that disabled the radio. I think that script might still work, however does anyone here make any custom roms that automatically disables it?
I haven't really heard much talk about just using WiFi, who here just uses Wifi? How does it work and perform?
I use WiFi almost always when at home. No problems whatsoever.

Do you have a tmobile subscripttion on it as well though?
I don't want to use a subscription, just don't want my battery to die by having it connect to 3G or searching for it.

No I had unlocked it. I use airtel/aircel in India. It should work just the same I think. I keep it on airplane mode always. When I need net, I use WiFi or I get off the airplane mode and enable the mobile data to access internet. Simple as that. There is a setting in the buld.prop as well which allows me to restrict the mobile connection to 2g only thereby enabling me to receive messages if I want to. It saves the battery needed for scanning for 3g or lte network. So I guess shouldn't be a problem irrespective which network you are on.

Ok, I found this and I tried it.
You can 1st enable phone by editing the build.prop settings (need to be rooted for that).
Once that is done, you need to type in *#*#4636#*#*
It automatically opens a Testing Menu of Settings. This gives useful information including battery etc.
Under the Tablet menu, there is an option to disable the radio all-together. I haven't tried this , but I did try changing the network mode from 2g-3g-4g and it worked for that. I would still suggest you use the airplane mode and put on/off wifi as and when needed. I didn't try this because saw some people complaining that after disabling it, they were not able to re-enable the radio. So be-warned about this.
Has anyone sucessfully done this with the One X+?
I was really hoping to be able to do this with my Nexus 7.
Yes, several times, have used both methods successfully but ultimately prefer to use Bluetooth...

I am stock on the HOX+, just using Settings > More > Mobile network sharing - then just enable portable Wi-Fi hotspot from there. You can enable BT tethering in the same place.

can turn on hotspot
My phone is rooted and running the stock HTC rom. but i am unable to turn on wifi hotspot from settings menu; it keeps saying call 611..
Well you are suppose to have it with your current data plan from your cell provider. 611 is to call and have it enabled.

whats the point of rooting then!
AT&T will ask for a special package of data plan to use tethering. my understanding was rooting the phone will let u circumvent that
AT&T Teathering
If you download system manager and go into the systems apps section, there will be an app called "teathering guard". If you dissable the event called something like "ATT UI" teathering will work without having to switch to a different data plan. I can upload screenshots if needed.
Can you post those screen shots? I downloaded system tuner, clicked events, system apps, found tether guard and disabled all of the events, rebooted and it still isn't working. Elegancia att.
Also, the app "WiFi tether" doesn't work either. It fails at 'setting ad hoc mode' and doesn't broadcast the ssid.
This ROM is great! Got MMS working by using Textra and making some adjustment to make it Virgin Mobile.
Anyone have any insights on how to get Tethering working. I get the message "tethering started with errors. Check Log file" THe log file shows 3 fails: Configuring AP, Starting AP, ,Configuring IP Address.

the tether built in works for me. is this what your using are u using wireless tether app?
I think I'm using the built in. It comes up in my app drawer. (Yellow WiFi symbol). Version 3.2-beta2***BETA***.
It worked fine while I was on UNsensible ROM.
If this is not the Built in where is it located?
(I restored my Titanium back ups and everything worked fine, but maybe that caused a "disconnect")

ok that is not the native tether ap. for some reason i was never able to get the one u are trying to use to work with any non sense roms after ics. cm comes with its own app. go into settings, wireless & networks more, tethering and hotspot. u can also add it as a tile on the quick settings panel
Getting closer

Thanks. Found it and it does show up now, and connects.
BUT, my laptop can't access the internet. I'll need to check the settings some where.
U may need to change the default password on the tether app or just turn off the the security

I turned off security. SID showed up, and I could connect, but there is no internet.
That's weird. Try wiping caches
