You have your Data Connection enabled, right? Another think you could try is switching to EDGE to see if it works with that.
Connection on, tried 2g also...
Maybe carrier has control over tether ability?

Does your carrier allow tethering? Have you tried another SIM?
my girlfriend has a 710 and tethering works on her device, took her sim and got the same error...(i'm a qa engineer and already thought of these options so i guess is a hardware problem)

You can also try a hardreset. There were some changes in the firmwares that are only active after a hard reset.
i find it really stupid that i have to hard reset it...that;s not why i bought the phone..
what are these changes?

Well, I got some new options that allow me to configure call forwarding and the SMS charset... I doubt that it is a hardware problem. Your data connection works properly on the phone?
Yup, always has been working fine...
Is the phone sim unlocked & are you using it on a different service provider? Can you send MMS messages? I suspect WP is looking at some hard coded APN settings when activating internet sharing, & not the one entered under the cellular apn option.
Yes i can MMS messages, but i do have another problem with it that makes me think the celullar modem is faulty....i use it on 2g and sometimes when i receive a call the sound is all distorted when i answer for about 5-6 seconds and then i ca hear the person on the other end...this happens form the day i started using it...

Hi,
I hope this is the right place to post. I recently unlocked my Atrix and am now using it in Thailand with True Move (850mhz). The phone works fine for calls but I can't connect to the 3g or Edge/GPRS. The H+ in the top right of the screen is visible. Are there any settings I need to adjust? I plugged in a friends iphone 3gs sim card which was working fine with 3g and Edge/GPRS (on the iphone) but still no luck. Any ideas? I hope I'm missing something obvious here...
did you turn on the data roaming?
Under settings -> data manager -> data delivery I have backround data, data roaming, and data enabled all checked. Is there somewhere else I need to enable data? Its my first Android phone so sorry if the question seems obvious.
FWIW the 3g/4g worked on my AT&T sim card in the US.
Have you entered in an APN?

Its been about a month and everything was working fine until i came home today, and now my data network is not working!! It used to work perfectly fine on the local network.

yup..i did. have been using roaming data in the past on Froyo. Also checked the APN settings, restarted, toggled flight mode, etc hit and trial solutions!!

actually i am on 2G..so there's no additional setting for that. trying to figure something on google. another hit and trial solution is data wipe and factory reset..but i want to keep it as a last resort..coz if it doesnt work..i'll end up deleting all my apps for nothing!! am not rooted yet!

download "Super Manager" it allows you to backup all your apps without root...
u can use titanium backup also i use that only.
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.

Yeah, I realize that, and have been able to get around that message with the 'foreign keyboard' hack, but the message I'm getting now is different than that one, and the hack doesn't affect it.

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?
Factory reset doesn't help?

I was thinking of doing a factory reset until I read this.
Has anyone found a workaround? I tried doing the tricks like resetting the APN or putting in a dummy APN and still, no joy.
Is this a Rogers ROM issue and is there an alternative to get Internet Sharing AND MMS working at the same time (other than the purchase of another phone)? TIA

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
Hi !
Recently I bought this LG but I have this problem:
I put my sim on it and can use LTE , download stuff , facebook, whatsapp and everything connected w / internet , but I can not make or receive phone calls or sms . When I dial a number that says " network number not avaible ."
I've tried with another simcard and moved to Cm11 and CM12 but without effect.
Can anyone help ? :crying:
Sorry for the bad english
You can't make or receive calls when only LTE is enabled. LTE frequency doesn't support calls. You should try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then select the first one. Scroll down a bit and then select the network type: LTE/GSM/WCDMA. I have this selected and everytime someone calls, phone automatically switches from LTE to WCDMA/3G. After the call it turns automatically back to LTE.

Where did you get the SIM from?
Were you ever able to do calls with that SIM in any other phone?
Maybe it is a data only SIM, like sold for tablets or laptops.
I would try it with a different SIM card.

Nope, I never could text or make phone calls,and the problem isn't the SIM because right now it's in other phone and works fine.
Same problem with mine, 3G/2G data is working fine but the phone won't let me do a call ("no network" available). This happened on the kitkat rom, and since that I upgraded to the official Lollipop rom (through OTA) bu the problem remain the same...
The strange thing is that the phone just came from repair (the touch screen stopped to work without no reason... ), hoppefully it was under waranty... but now the waranty is over so I don't know what to do except maybe putting this phone on a trash, but it would be a such waste...
If anyone have an idea about the problem, it is hightly welcomed!
Hi folks,
The title pretty much says it all. I've got a new unlocked P6 bought from Google, using it on AT&T here in the US. It doesn't show VoLTE and when I go in to turn on VoWIFI I get an error to the effect that "we couldn't turn on VoWIFI."
The VoLTE worked out of the box on my prior phone (OP6T) but I never attempted VoWIFI with it.
Is there a special process to go through, or do I need to chat up the ATT reps? It's possible I'm not provisioned appropriately; my SIM is the same SIM I've been using on several phones over a good number of years.
Before I go in "cold" to a conversation with them I'd prefer to know exactly what to ask them for.
Thanks
Here's their whitelist:
Note this is the latest updated list (edit)
I had to have them enable it for me. I did it via chat support. It broke the ability took make regular calls but a quick call back (from a different phone) and it was fixed.

Funny thing before I chatted with them my Pixel 6 showed up on my account after they did whatever they did it now shows unknown device. It works so it doesn't really bother me. Edit: I have the unlocked version from Google as well.

Ask for "advanced tech support" when the dud robo attendant ask what for, repeat.
I posted (edited) the updated whitelist, with more models and harder to read
I double checked my devices... but the proof will be when they still are working.
Lol, what could go wrong?
Yeah, be afraid, be very afraid
On with chat now. Just gave them my IMEI. We shall see soon
OK, I'm all set. I think, or maybe I hope.
The chat function worked well. After getting past the chatbot I spoke with a real agent, explained my need, and she quickly took my IMEI and got it set up in the system. I got a text quickly that some ATT stuff got activated (I'll be able to turn on spam blocking and such). I was able to go in after a reboot and turn on wifi calling, leaving my preference as using Mobile Network.
I made a test call and it actually used the Wifi instead of mobile, which concerned me. I disconnected from my hotspot and tried a call, and mobile network calling worked fine, though.
Agent said my preference setting should take hold within 24 hours, in any case. We also went into the dial menu and verified VoLTE was turned on:
"Open dial and Type *#*#4636#*#* Choose Phone information option from test Screen. Now you can Enable VoLTE Support Provisioned Flag. Restart your device. Now you can see 4G LTE option under Network Bar. This will activate unlimited HD Voice Calls."
It was on and grayed out, so should be active. Just surprised there was no special icon showing in status bar like my old phone had.
Everything seems to be working so I think I'm good to go. Thanks for your help guys!
edit: after getting me set up she did a hard sell to get me to use the eIMEI for another ATT account. I declined.

See my post above. Enter the code in the dialer to access the hidden menu. It will bring up a screen that shows some settings, one will be the switch for VoLTE. For me it showed on but grayed out, which apparently is the correct setting. If it shows off, that would mean you aren't provisioned for it and need help from your carrier.

*#*#4636#*#* Thanks, very nice. On my N10+/pie this is the only place were the VoLTE setting can be seen as a toggle which is on. Yay.
Oh, one other note. Wifi calling seems to be working fine, though I haven't had a chance to check its integration with Google's visual voicemail.
What I notice is that the decision to use wifi instead of mobile is kinda hair-trigger. At my home, LTE bars are low but calls always work just fine. However, now with wifi calling turned on (with preference being mobile network), the system usually decides to use wifi anyway due to low signal. I also noticed at a grocery store, where my phone auto connects to their wifi, that when I was in the back of the store (weak LTE) it switched to wifi calling mode, then switched back to regular mode in the front of the store (strong LTE signal).
So, the system is conservative and moves over to wifi pretty often rather than treating it like a last resort. I guess that is good behavior.

I have an unlocked P6 direct from Google on AT&T. I have it greyed out but on. Does that mean I need to contact AT&T?
I had never gotten wifi calling set up on anybody my previous phones, so I definitely needed to get that turned on/provisioned for my account. The rep also told me that adding my non-ATT IMEI was needed; indeed several options became available once that was done. I don't think anybody this was needed for VoLTE though.
So pat of this might just have been due to my account history.
To cap this off, I got a wifi call just now and it transcribed fine.

Not needed for VoLTE on AT&T as I can switch the sim card between my AT&T N975U1 and unlocked N975U seamlessly. However I never use wifi, tethering or more advanced features on these two devices... so no idea about that.
