I have an AT&T set but it is now unlock and use in my country where I have no issue to use wifi tethering with my service provider in Singapore.
However each time I try to turn on wifi hotspot, it said go to AT&T url or dial 611 to use.
Can someone help? My device is already rooted. Thanks in advance
Updated : thanks to kiwi45. Just add tether under apn default type (default,tether)

i had this problem too, but i installed the gingerblur script (dev forum) and since you get the option to remove "bloatware", i am guessing there is an application in the phone that detects personal hotspot without an att tethering account.
you might want to freeze in titanium backup unneeded programs, there's a list on the forums
same problem
I search a solution in google,but,no result.
Anyone know it? please help us!!

you shouldnt have to freeze anything for mobile hotspot to work. did you put in the APN for your carrier? you cannot use the AT&T tether fix for your carrier you have to use your settings from your carrier.

But does that work on AT&T, or do they manage to block it?

You have to set your APN for your own carrier. Whatever works on AT&T does not matter in SG.

Works for me on Three in the UK with my normal APN. I have unlocked ATT handset. I just click through. Does your provider allow hot spot?

yeah. I'm from Malaysia and everytime I tick on the wi-fi hotspot box there will be a prompt asking me to enable the account at att.com/mywireless or dial 611.
my provider does allows tethering and I'm using unlock at&t device..
Just edit your APN to include "tether" in the Type field, i.e. Type: default -> Type: default,tether

i have always had tether in my apn type however it doesn't work for me. When i activate hotspot, i get stuck at the "setting up data link" phase in the notification dialog, and i can't turn it off unless i reboot.

try turning on your wifi before you turn on mobile hotspot. i get stuck at the setting up data link too when i don't have wifi enabled.
Anyway, when I use aroot, I don't need to add tether on my apn setting. Unless you are using super one click. Btw, all using soc should update to aroot to clean up the mess.
Updated: I still need to add tether on the apn after testing even I use aroot.

d-oh! i always tried enabling wifi after turning it on. now it works. thanks. but it still has a bug, because it won't let you disable hotspot if you don't turn on wifi first, you need a reboot
I still get stuck on setting up data link. I make sure wifi is enabled and when I click hotspot, wifi turns off. I rooted aroot over soc. Any ideas?
nvm I got it to work. Right after I selected hotspot, I pressed home and turned on wifi. That seemed to work.
Is there any way to get rid of the at&t wifi hotspot notification that pops up whenever the phone auto logs in to an at&t wifi hotspot? Its annoying me that I can't clear it... Plus with my theme it looks terrible...

To disable notifications of AT&T hotspots:
1. Open settings
2. Select Wireless & Networks
3. Select Wi-Fi Settings
4. Remove the check-mark for Auto-Connect and/or Network Notification to get the desired behavior.
Someone had success installing toggle 2g in gingerbread At&t rom?
I already tried, but didn't work.....
Dev of the software only guarantee on CM6 and CM7 but I dont want to install this rom, due to lack of resources (webtop, fingerprint, etc).......
Someone can help?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
From what I understand based on the CM7 issue list, switching to 2g in the US is not working because of AT&T. You apparently have to call and enable it.
Here in Brazil it works...I can switch manually between GSM Only, Automatically or 3G Only.....but this app called Toggle 2G can do it automatically when we put in sleep mode....it's better because save much battery.....

On my stock AT&T which I'm using here in Oz,
Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile networks->Select network was disabled and wouldn't let me change it.
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14494826&postcount=24
Now all the toggle apps work.

I saw this thread before and even got the options ungreyed, yet selecting 2g changes nothing here in us
Well, I have not used that app, but *#*#4636#*#* then phone info, and then preferred network should work.
Is what I always do in areas with poor 3G coverage. I switch to GSM. And vice verse, in areas with good 3G coverage I set it to WCDMA only.
Sorry, I didn't realise OP had already unlocked the 'Select network' menu and it works.
I didn't find an app that would toggle 2g/3g automatically on a stock ROM. I just installed the 2G-3G OnOff widget that's a shortcut to the 'Select network menu, and I manually toggle it when in bad signal area.
I couldn't install it on my german Atrix with french stock rom. After installing the Toggle2G-Update.zip with CWM the app simply doesn't appear in the drawer.
Those of you who were successful, what did you do?
Thanks!
**The file will only work on the G900T-OB1 Stock Build. Use on custom ROM's may cause issues with the ROM**
Instructions:
1. Place the G900T_OB1_TetherAddOn.zip onto your ext-sdcard.
2. Reboot into TWRP Recovery.
3. Flash the AddOn.zip but Do Not Wipe Prior to Flashing!
4. Reboot. Done!
To revert back to stock follow the above instructions but flash the: G900T_OB1_TetherAddOn_Revert-to-Stock.zip
Known Issues:
1. You will only be able to access "4G" Data Speeds while the Hotspot is enabled.
Will test to confirm if it works

Muniz, I found out that if I set my data to WCDMA (4G) it enables the Hotspot and let's users get on the Internet. When I enable 4GLTE, it disables access to the Internet. Do you know any way around it?

Are you saying that the mod is not necessary and hotspot can be enabled for all by switching to wcdma? Is this true for both MetroPCS and Tmobile?

No man, what I'm saying is that the mod works fine only on basic 4G. Not 4GLTE.

I would love to test it out on 4GLTE. Do you think there could be a check that stops it from enabling Internet for other devices?

Other devices should just see it as any other wifi access point. I am on att and lte is working without issues. Others on vz are also not having issues. I would be interested in hearing if tmobile users are having the same issue.
It's as if 4GLTE is blocked. If other variants are working. There has to be a setting that I could set inside my phone that should enable Internet.
can confirm not working on [ROM] Twi5ted Lollipop 5.0 V1 i am however using the native tether app.would it make a difference if i were use WiFi Tether Router byFabio Grasso,that was the app i was using on 4.2.
The native hotspot in the stock tmobile rom and the tmobile 5.0 visionx rom creates its own apn settings and always defaults and reverts to pc.tmobile.com apn. This mod will only disable tethering verification and turn hotspot on. The only method I found to work is to make tethering apn and lte apn editable through customer.xml file using root Explorer. LTE apn needs to be set to ipv/4 only, turn on hotspot and go to settings, apn, and delete the tethering apn. You have to delete tethering apn every time you connect to the hotspot because the apn gets recreated by the app. If someone could figure out why it gets recreated that'd be awesome so the hotspot could default to LTE fast t-mobile.com apn. I can't find anything even changing the tethering apn in customer.xml file doesn't work. It gets recreated every time you turn on hotspot, but can be deleted once made editable through customer.xml file.

Lol, clearly stated. Anyways, my APNs are set to fast.metropcs.com. Not the default tmobile ones. It doesn't create any extra APNs.
In the customers.Xml, the LTE is ipv4 because I changed it thinking that the different protocols would interfere with the Internet access but it didn't. So I don't understand why it's still just 4G instead of LTE that is allowed through... Muniz, you think there is an area in the xml that we could change to test? Since there is a TMOBILE US Tethering section or something similar to that in that xml

If it's not too much of an issue, do you think you can post the customer xmls for both the Att and Verizon variants. To see if there's anything in there?
Also, do you know why it is only 4G speeds that are capable of going through?

Attached is the Vz customer.xml, it is very different. Also, try changing "pcweb.tmobile.com" to "fast.t-mobile.com" on line 348 of the Tmobile customer.xml. Worth a shot.
I wanted to let everyone know that Wi-Fi calling works on the Galaxy S9 unlocked lock version with T-Mobile
Confirmed. USA unlocked version works with T-Mobile US Wifi Calling
I've got an unlocked S9+ from Samsung, I'm on Verizon, and I don't even see the option for WiFi calling. Where is the option located? Does it show up after you activate on T-Mobile? I've asked Verizon if it can be provisioned to the phone and they said it is... Could anyone point me in the right direction?

This was a known issue on the unlocked S8/S8+ as well. There were some semi-convoluted workarounds, but it wasn't as simple as a check box. I bought the unlocked version knowing full well I'd face some Verizon issues, but will likely be transitioning off them in a few months anyway.

I'm on an unlocked Blackberry Keyone on verizon and had thought so as well. Somebody on Crackberry forums posted a solution for wifi calling that ended up working for me, but I had to call Verizon as well. I preordered my S9+ the other day and am disappointed wifi calling is not available out of the box, but ultimately not surprised. Hopefully there will be a workaround. Glad it is for the T-Mo guys.
Okay. This morning I'm going to eat my own words on one thing. I woke up and overnight, a Visual Voicemail app had installed itself from the Samsung store. Low and behold, it talked to Verizon and I can see my voicemails. At this point, only Wi-Fi calling is missing.

This may be more detailed than you guys need, but if you can find the app in GALAXY apps and use Lightflow, you're there. I don't know how the Voicemail works standalone, but I wanted the LED indicator and the sound of my choice. Voila !
This app is available through GALAXY APPS, not Samsung Apps. I got it to work, without rooting, using Lightflow as follows:
Open Lightflow
Choose Notification Settings
Choose red "+" plus sign at the bottom right
Choose "From System event, battery, gps, etc.
From "Select system notifications to add", roll down to Voice Mail, check the box, choose "Add"
This will add Voicemail to your Lightflow notifications list, and then you have to pick your settings for it.
On Lightflow's Notification page, find dark blue "Voicemail" and open the "three dots" to the right, choose "settings"
The setting menu is a "slide to the right" type menu. I used "light" , enable light, choose a color, etc. I chose dark blue to match the icon.
So now, I have a dark blue "Voicemail" icon in my apps, and Lightflow makes it chime the sound I chose and lights up the LED at the top of the S9, in dark blue, and it blinks, so I know a voicemail is there. It also shows up on the notification panel.

Not on the unlocked version. There are a few hidden WiFi calling settings, but none actually stay set to on. Unless someone has found a way, I'd have to say no at this point.
