How to fix tethering problem with UNROOTED phone. - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi all, first at all sorry for my english it's not my mother language.
Like some people, the wifi tethering doesn't work with my motorola razr (XT910 GSM rom : 651.73.30.xt910.nonefigdRetail.en.EU [android 2.3.5] ). I'm on "free mobile" (french provider). After searching on the web most of solutions need to root the device.
This trick has enable the tethering on my device (only WIFI, usb seems not to be work).
You have to set 2 different APN (one for MMS and an over for the web) :
For the mms one please refer to your provider to know the access IP, MMC ,....
Concerning the web APN, you have to enter this field and leave the others as defaults depending on your provider:
-APN type : "default,dun" (respect the syntax)
The dun property enable dial up networking (android API documentation jdk 16...).
I hope this trick can help you and please post a message if your phone support now the tethering with this config.

Much appreciated dude

+1 Tested and confirmed working for me too.
Fixes my mobile hostpot issue on XT910.AmericaMovil.en.01 2.3.6. Haven't tested USB tethering yet.
I'm using this in India on Airtel, in case it helps anyone else.
Thanks for the tip.

that's a bit strange.
Pre-installed from my SIM card, I have 2 APNs...
1st is for default, mms, supl, agps, fota
2nd is for dun
What is that tethering problem ? (so I can test if my settings are good)

How to enable HTTP proxy to all applications?

I'm using a 3G data connection that requires a http proxy.
So... I've defined a proper APN with proxy.
Browser is the only program that I can use with this connection (only page view, no download). All the rest application that need an internet connection simply doesn't work.. nothing. Even the download from the browser doesn't work.
I've tried with another APN that's not using a proxy and works. Also with WiFi is ok.
So, my question is: it is posible to enable http proxy in ALL programs? I had no problem on Symbian or Windows Mobile..
This is by no means a definite answer, but in your APN, try adjusting the "APN type" setting. On Telus, it's: default,mms
From what I understand you can try a combination of those two settings, or set it to nothing. See what results you get.
Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately no change.
While it's not the response you were hoping for, since no one else has responded, I would contact my provider if I were in your position. See if they can offer any insight. Good luck!
Thanks but my provider cannot do anything. I've used this connection on other platforms without problem (windows mobile, symbian).
The problem is that application take just the apn without proxy details.. Only the browser is using the proxy
It seems that's an Android issue ..
You may star this issue:

so maybe google will understand the importance of this feature.. i'm still wondering why it's not implemented as it should..

Custom ROM MMS Mini Guide (If you don't use a prepaid data plan)

Well I m on Floyo 0.15 and had some issues with MMS sending/receiving.On stock 2.1 SE ROM when you have Mobile Data OFF,our X8s still automatically use GPRS to handle mms messages.On Floyo and other ROMS you need to turn it ON which may result in additional charges from your carrier if you don't use a prepaid internet data plan.
So what do you do in this case you may ask! Well if you only use WIFI for internet and still wanna use MMS you should customize APN Settings.
First google you carrier's APN settings for MMS and set it up manually.Be carefull to not use capital letters on some fields!
Then delete every other APN settings leaving Mobile Data ON all the time and Reboot!
This way you can MMS technology without any fear of additional internet charges. ;-)
APN Settings can be found in WIRELESS ->MOBILE NETWORKS->APN menu in any custom ROM!
Hope I helped someone here!
Cheers and enjoy your phones!

Ah, yes, killing all other possible internet connections. It will get the job done, but if we ever want to use broadband connection again, we'll have to configure it. Wouldn't it be easier to simply install APNdroid?

i ran into similar problem in my Mini pro. i tried to have 1 apn too only for mms but still can not get it to work.
more details in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13339868#post13339868
basically, my solution is to install quick settings from market, use both APN (internet and mms) and disable mobile data using q.settings.
i am not sure how qsettings work, but it doesnt work by adding mess lines in the APN. and zap, no internet, yes mms
anyway, hope this might help others with the same problem
cheers
ps: i did not mean to oot, i know this is x8 thread, but just as i said above, might help

Thanks for the guidance. After I installing "quick setting" application, I'm finally successful sending MMS from my custom ROM X8
Glad to know that it works for you in x8!
ps: a bit becareful when you turn on/off wifi. in my case, 1st time i use it, when i turn off wifi, the 3g mobil turn on by itself. since they (wifi toggle and 3g mobile data toggle) are in the same box. just pay attention to 3g data toggle after u turn on/off your wifi. if it goes back on, just switch it off again and your good to go .
for me, it was just that one time though. after that, 3g data is always off no matter what i do with the wifi. i toggle 3g mobile data back on again only when i need it

go here and set your phone setting, and choose Maxis Mobile Internet + MMS, and the go to APN settings, "APN Settings can be found in WIRELESS ->MOBILE NETWORKS->APN" delete other APNs, just leave Maxis 2G MMS on your phone. You need to Data Enable to sent and receive MMS.
This work on me.

Thanks for the heads-up, have the exact same problem, when I turned on my mobile traffic, the provider charged me regardless if I have MMS or not.
MMS is only received when the data traffic is on, however.

Gmail sync over 3G doesn't seem to work for me

I noticed that I don't receive emails on gmail while connected to 3G. Works fine on wifi. 3G also works fine (for example if i open the browser i can browse fine and even if I manually sync gmail i receive the emails) I just never get the notifications. This also seems to be the case with other apps like facebook.
Is there some setting somewhere I could be missing?
I have sync on for both google account and facebook.
any ideas?
is it possible this is operator dependent? I have a friend with Galaxy S2 and has the same issue.
(also can a moderator please move this topic to Q&A)
Could be APN related. I had to remove proxy yo get tapatalk to work amongst other things.
Do your APN use a proxy? Try remove proxy and proxy port. Write em down first, in case it doesn't help.

I checked, no proxies set - so thats not the case.
I did a factory reset,went through the setup process adding only samsung and google accounts. I tested it by sending an email to myself, while connected to wifi i got the notification instantly, I disconnected wifi and checked that i can access the web through the browser, then sent another email to myself and got no notification.
I read somewhere that the connection bars should be blue if there is a connection to google services. is this true for the s3 stock rom ?
ok i fixed the problem. for anyone else who might have the same issue in the future (i guess on any android ICS based phone) the problem is caused by incorrect APN settings, the default ones the operator shows on the phone were wrong, i simply had to add a new APN with APN Name: internet and no other settings (I assume this is operator dependent)
The APN should be stored on your SIM-card and can usally be requested through USSD-code to have a configuration SMS sent by your provider.
Alternatively you can just call them and request a configuration SMS.

Yes. However note that some providers are so sneaky (and/or lazy) as to have multiple access points which are billed differently. So check with your operator if that is actually the correct one, not that you are billed per Kilobyte and get the shocker of your life with the next bill.

Whatsapp refuses to work over data only wifi

Hello all,
Im running the latest Omega rom and Ive noticed that Whatsapp refuses to work over data (3G) connection even if other application are not so picky. Whatsapp works as supposed with wifi connection, Please help. Several people asked this over the internet, but nobody answered.

I had the same problem not only with whatsapp but also with viber etc. I fixed it by creatin my APN settings manually.
Settings/Mobile Network/Connection Settings than tap home buttons left key / New APN
you can ask APN settings to your cell provider.
Usually it's not the cause of Whatsapp but your provider blocking it.
Many (if not most) providers are either incapable or unwilling to use transparent packet inspection (not necessarely Layer-7) and rely on the phone to have a Proxy server configured in the APN.
Interestingly exactly this proxy is usually not even given in the configuration details.
Some providers (such as mine) even attempt to do their bandwith throttling via the proxy. I don't complain since I don't use it =)
But other applications are ok with this default configuration. And Whatsapp in my HTC phone worked ok on 3G data with default settings...
later edit - found the solution 4 the problem, when flashed the new omega rom, it put all the APN profiles my provider has, including some ****ty MMS and WAP APNs. After I deleted those and left only the Internet APN, things got back in normal.

Whatsapp application problem
Hi all,
I am using samsung galaxy s duos.I am unable to send messages through whatsapp when I am using aircel network,other networks it is working fine.Is that the problem with aircel n/w or whatsapp application.If any suggestions pls give me replies......http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Also had a problem with WhatsApp messages not being delivered when on 3G but they would on Wifi. I thought it was something to do with droidwall but the resetting off APN settings makes sense.
I shall try that and hopefully it works.
Okay resetting the APN's did not work.
I am running Omega Rom and Jkay but this happened when I ran stock as well.
On 3G messages will sometimes come through immediately, sometimes not. They will always come through on Wifi. They will also come through if I open Whatsapp. Not sure if it is ISP related but when I had a Nokia on same ISP I never had this problem.
Does anyone know if something in Droidwall would be blocking this?
Thanks!
I was having problems since yesterday with my phone. Even not having the S3, one quick look here and found the solution. Thanks.

Check in Settings/Mobile network if you have Access Point Names configured. If not try to factory reset your phone and do the setup from the beginning. If the problem occurs you'll need to configure them manually.

Probably because of that APNs, try to configiure them again and if it persists go there and let them configure it. If they can't fix it then it's a problem with phone.
I use these instructions (look in English): http://www.wind.com.gr/files/1/Device_Settings/Rythmiseis Internet/Android OS _Terminals_.pdf
So:
Name: WIND Internet
APN: gint.b-online.gr
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: Not set
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not set
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 202
MNC: 10
Authentication type: Not set
APN enable/disable: APN enabled (I cannot change it).
After that, I press menu and save. Now I am in APNs and I can see a white part:
WIND Internet
gint.b-online.gr
I press the button to go back and I can see:
Data roaming: Without ν
Data roaming sound: With v
Access Point Names
Network mode: GSM / WCDMA auto
Network operators: WIND GR
I press the button to go back and I see: Mobile network: Off. I press the button off, it becomes on, and down of Mobile network I can see Turning on... For many many minutes I can see only turning on.... So, I let the screen turn off without light and after that, when I open screen and I unlock the device, I see: Disconnected...
Tomorrow I will visit my mobile internet company's office, but I am wondering: Can traffic monitor apps which were installed before the problem of mobile network create this problem? I mean something like nodata in windows mobile.... I installed these applications: 1) My Data Manager, 2) Onava, 3) Traffic Monitor.

its not a software problem you can contact your service provider for this about your loss of HSDPA connection as networks are controlled by them or what you can do is goto settings mobile network advanced selected fastest network available which should fix the issue if its not the sim 's problem and one more thing wrong forum

I've bought M8 at end of Now. Mobile network connects for about 1 min,disconnects about 1 min, again connects again disconnects again and again. Contacted HTC, hard reset etc but same.
Sent to teleservice in Turkey, they 've sent me a new m8 but the same problem. I again sent back the service and explained the history, they say m8 passed all tests (!). Before that I'd contacted the nr one operator Turkcell, no problem. I tried the m8 with another carrier but it worked continuously. So I changed the carrier but i am not happy with them. Lollipop 5 is installed, same! Anyone solved this problem ?
