Hi guys.
I just unlocked my AT&T Lumia 920, but the Internet Sharing feature doesn't work. It says I need the tethering enabled on AT&T. Is there anyway around this to get it enabled? I'm obviously not using an AT&T SIM.
Thanks
Unfortunately NO.

Unfortunately, NO. I think this is built into the ROM. You might have to Flash one of those European ROMs to have it enabled.
Thats what I did.

You flashed an EU ROM onto an AT&T Lumia 920? Which one? Does this mess up anything regarding radio support?
Nope

Looks like the color doesn't matter. I confirmed with NaviFirm that different color firmwares share the same .ffu. And I've seen numerous reports when people flashed non-ATT firmware into Cyan ATT phone and didn't have any issues.
---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------
I've installed Rogers pre-Portico firmware on my ATT Lumia 920 (RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_canada_200_02_100347_prd_signed.ffu), installed Access Point app, and Internet Sharing was working just fine (I'm on Telus, Canada). But overnight the phone installed all the latest updates (currently on 1232.5957.1308.0000) and Internet Sharing is no longer working. When I go to Access Point app and try selecting one of the two default profiles (Telus and Koodo), it immediately exits the app and shows all profiles as inactive. If I manually enter profile settings, I'm able to select it, but it still doesn't seem to work - when I go to Internet Sharing and try enabling it, I get "Internet Sharing isn't currently available" error.
Does anyone know how to work around this?
Ok, I seem to have been able to get Internet Sharing back on. I had to hard reset the phone (through About->Reset option). After that I installed the Access Point app again and everything seems to be working. Apparently updates somehow mess up Access Point app.
Now I need to figure out how to get LTE to work on Telus and possibly get the phone working on Wind/Mobilicity...

I flashed my unlocked AT&T Lumia 920 to Euro Dev (RM821_059R4H6_1232.5957.1308.0002_027) and was able to enable Internet Sharing feature. I am on AT&T GoPhone and selected an APN named "AT&T 3G", which is built in the SIM card, from Access Point app. I am not sure what the exact setting is.

Just remember that with gophone your data is not unlimited. You either have 2GB or 5GB a month. I forget which as I think gophone will actually make you pay more then an outright contract in the long run. I want to say it is a 2GB limit. So even if you do have LTE you can't use more than 2GB a month. If you do they hit you for 10 bucks a GB you go over. Or on gophone they may just cut off your data till it renews next month.
Effective June 21st, the only data add-on package available for the $50 and $25 plans will be the $5 for 50MB. The $65 monthly plan will be able to add $10 for 1GB. A total of 3 Gigs can be stacked onto that plan within a month.

Im thinking about jumping ship from android (evo 4g) to the titan. One of the biggest things holding me back is the ability to tether for free via USB and wifi with android. Is this an option with the titan?

I have the unlocked UK version of the phone and it does have Internet Connection Sharing in settings for sharing via wifi. Not sure if other versions of the phone will have it. AT&T phones will probably come with it locked down, not sure if unlocking the phone will also allow access to Internet Connection Sharing.
Thanks for the info. Hopefully unlocking the phone will let me tether it. I'm going to wait and see if it works before I buy it.
Would also love some more info. Was able to stealth-tether with my Focus without unlocking/jailbreaking, and that was super-handy since I do it so rarely and don't want to have to add it to my plan...
Now the Focus is dead and I'm 99% likely to be purchasing a Titan tomorrow.

Looks like expansys is carrying the us version now with the hspa+ 850,1900,2100 bands. That one looks non carrier branded so it should work with internet connection sharing. Really curious if someone has a AT&T Titan they have unlocked that allows ICS.

I have it unlocked on Telus. Just tried the internet sharing and funny enough it still says to contact ATT or dial 611 lol.. So I'm with Telus yet I need to contact ATT?? Right..
I have SIM-FREE UK version and can tether on Giffgaff gigabags. No issues at all. No jailbreaking needed, no unlocking of any sorts.
Sounds like the conclusion here is the unlocked unbranded version is okay to to use Internet Sharing.
AT&T locked or unlocked (like me) you are out of luck.
However I'm curious who can actually unlock this feature for an unlocked ATT model. Your current carrier? ATT directly? HTC?
Or are you just screwed?

I do have the Internet Sharing option is settings.
When I turn it on it says "Connection not shared - To enable tethering on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611"
It's unlocked and not on ATT.

oh I meant Internet Connection Sharing.
It more looks like its your SIM that might not be compatible to tether on titan? When I turn it on, it shows me devices I can pair with and then it needs connection using passcode.

Oh, well I assume you're not using an unlocked ATT Titan? I know the unbranded model has no issues with internet sharing.
I was trying to get tethering working as well (at&t titan on Rogers) i phoned around and the HTC rep said tethering needs to be added onto my account. I have a 6GB data plan that does not include tethering (i know rogers says anything over 1GB has it but technically my account does not include it). The Rogers Rep said i would need ot go down to a 1GB plan for them to addon tethering to my account and then the phone should authenticate and work.
Is anyone here able to test that out and confirm?
---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------
my current theory is that the at&t phone actually authenticates back to the carrier to verify tethering is added onto the account rather than just sharing out its current internet connetion.
if anyone can test and get back to us it might be helpfull

I'd be surprised if that actually worked. However I have speculated a way that should allow unlocked ATT branded Titan users like us to be able to use Internet Sharing. Sadly this won't be an option until the next MS Windows Phone update is rolled out. I'll explain..
When I had my HD7 it was T-Mobile branded unlocked on Wind Mobile. At first it was filled with all kinds of T-Mo apps etc and similarly locked to T-Mo within the OS. But once the updates starting rolling out from MS I forced them to my phone rather than waiting for T-Mo and it essentially made it become unbranded. The Internet Sharing feature was available as an update on my HD7 when the unbranded models received theirs and it was fully functional. So whenever MS rolls out whatever next update there is forcing it to our Titans should make it fully unbranded and at the same time unlock our Internet Sharing feature.
I'm with At&t and can verify that once I switched my plan from unlimited to "4g with tethering" I've been able to use Wifi Sharing. In fact i'm using it right now.
I think it's a value in the registry to check or not. We'll see once we can edit it.
Sent from my PI39100 using Board Express
Add me to the list of ppl curious how to do it for free. I very rarely use the option, but I'd like it nonetheless...
Titan on Rogers
I have an AT&T branded Titan unlocked running on Rogers. I had a 1GB plan without tethering and I was getting teh same issue when I tried to enable tethering. So, I phoned Rogers and now I have a 6GB plan which has tethering enabled.
Restarted my phone, same issue.
I think that in order for this to work either I have to update the phone so that it is unbranded (how would I do this?) OR there is a registery key or file that needs to be changed so that the check to the carrier no longer happens.
Hmmmmm....
I think i know what needs to be done. My buddy has a Samsung Focus Flash from At&t (forgot to check but i assume it would give him the same At&t tethering message we're all getting).
Anyways we interop unlocked it and pushed the wifi tethering patch for WP7 and my guess it overwrote the At&t lockdown because he is able to tether without any issues.
Good news is we can get it working - bad news we have to wait for someone to interop unlock the Titan - which so far hasn't been done
This whole thing with tethering is flat getting old. We should have it std on the phone if we have an unlimited plan like I do and some of the others do. This sucks and is a good reason to take our business elsewhere where the feature is included.
I really don't use it much but that is not the point.
Okay, I'm done ranting and raving about this and I am back to normal.
I originally posted this to WPcentral but no one seems to care... I find it quite compelling and I thought I'd share...
I have read a lot of different forums that The Lumia 920 from Roger has a hard time working with other carriers when unlocked. Specifically, internet Sharing seems to be broken.
Some have speculated that the phone is supposed to "detect" or "read" the settings right off the sim card but all the Rogers phone owner have reported that this is not happening.
I like evidence, not speculation. So I went ahead and downloaded the RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_canada_200_02_100347_prd_signed ROM off nokia's web site using NaviFirm+ 1.7. then I hex-edited the rom itself...
Boy is that stuff interesting. I found a section written in XML called "OEMCustomizationPackage". That sounded too good to be true... so I dug up the xml and found a bunch of interesting settings like custom ring tones, initial tile placement BUT...
I also found this...
<Component ComponentName="ConnectivityCustomizations">
<SettingsGroup>
<Setting Name="ADC path set" Value=""/>
<Setting Name="ADC enabled" Value="0"/>
</SettingsGroup>
Call me crazy but ADC in WP8 parlance stands for "automatic data configuration" and unless I'm dumb as a rock, the setting sure seems to me like it's disabled!!!
Now of course If only there was another line that said <Modified by your carrier to make your life miserable = 1> but sadly there aren't.
So it begs the question... was the setting disabled by Nokia?, Rogers? or worst... Microsoft?
I don't expect I'll have an answer to this but I have a support call in with Nokia that got bumped to Level 2 support... the conversation will get interesting
[Update]
I looked at the OEMCustomizationPackage XML for the ATT firmware and ADC is disabled (tested on RM820_1232.2109.1242.1001_RETAIL_nam_usa_100_01_95122)
did the same for a random European firmware... settled on the France firmware (RM821_1232.2109.1242.1001_RETAIL_eu_france_267_01_95741 ) and the setting is NOT IN the OEMCustomizationPackage XML
Now I'm not gonna waste any more bandwidth testing other firmwares but this is evidence enough to prove there was a deliberate effort to cripple the North American firmware by ATT and Rogers. I cannot wait to talk to the support rep from Nokia and hear what he has to say... Best case scenario, they let me have a generic Firmware and I'm home free... but most likely, they'll release an app just like they did with the lumia 900. It was called "Nokia Network setup"
[Update]
Hmmm, that's an interesting find! Keep us updated if Nokia comes back to you with anything.
I’m stuck over in the UAE right now. I have a brand new 920 from AT&T that I can’t use because no one can sim unlock them yet. Would it be possible to flash this thing with another ROM and get it sim unlocked so I can use it over here?
Thanks,
Dave
I remember buying the samsung focus and windows breaking the device to change registry settings. This was the same issue that the Focus had...unfortunately i don't remember the explaination that was given but it was Samsung saying that automatic data configuration, for whatever reason, frequently configured the device wrong or just wouldn't work so they disabled the setting. I think it a BS excuse considering they have the registry entry why would you disable it and why wouldn't it work in the first place....just my 2 cents. But, I don't believe it too much to be a conspiracy theory going on lol.
Flashing ROMs normally does not change the status of the SIM lock, so no for you over at UAE.
Considering the OEM customizations: yes, branded phones run the same software as unbranded devices but there might be settings to allow or disallow certain functionality. Also the Apps loaded by default on a hard reset are different (OEM Apps can be included).
So while the update package to get your 920 and my 920 to the Apollo+/Portico Update most likely will include the same binaries that does not mean that you have the same functionality available (some carriers who only operate on 3G for example removed the possibility to switch their devices into 2G only mode). Internet Connection Sharing was another feature that was disabled on some branded devices although drivers, etc. are deployed onto those devices as well.

Thank you!
most carrier branded wp phones have adc turned off since wp7 days. That is nothing new and certainly expected. typically, you can turn it back on once you sim unlocked your phone and you are lucky enough to find network setup app from the manufacturer,
The network setting app is here!!
As an update to my adventures, I did find the Nokia network setup app... it's called "access point". I tried to do a marketplace search but no results... but a guy over at WPCentral just dropped the marketplace link
I'm apparently too new to post outside links so PM me and I'll get you the link...
I just browsed to the link on my phone and was able to install the app. It add an "access point" item to the setting menu just like the Dev ATT phone they handed out prior to launch
My phone is still locked to Rogers so I have no idea if the app will help me overcome the tethering issues once I get there. on Dec 19th my "30 days on contract" are up so the nasty Rogers people will run out of excuse to deny my unlocking so I'll buy the thing and get as far away from this carrier as I can and hopefully I can get functional Internet Sharing going.
To any Canadian who's lucky to have an unlocked 920 with internet tethering problems... can you confirm this is working?
Thanks.

Wow great news !! Can you confirm a few things for me...
1- Can you confirm you are getting stable and long lasting internet sharing... a lot of people report success but then they write back to report that is stops working...
2- What is your batch number? (mine is 44/2012 it's in the sticker on your box where the IMEI number is )
3- What firmware are you running? (mine is 1232.2109.1242.1001)
4- Did you get the phone unlocked by Rogers or a web site?
Thanks for the feedback! I too want to switch to Telus but with so many users reporting problems with internet sharing, I was getting desperate.

the telus apn i ve already typed into, and i didnt change it. The only thing i open access point, and choose TELUS active, then i got consistent internet sharing, no problem .
Great find! I can confirm this is working on my unlocked Rogers 920 on Bell. I downloaded the app and selected the Bell profile, and changed my apn under cellular to inet.bell.ca. Turned on tethering and worked right away. Thanks again for posting this!
Service: Telus
Unlocked by: Cellunlocker.net
Firmware: .1002
Manufacture week: 46
I had set APN to regular sp.telus.com and set access to point Telus. That didn't work.
Just for the hell of it I switched the manual APN entry to isp.telus.com and switched the access point to Koodoo and back to Telus to force it to refresh.
I was able to turn on tethering but I lost data. So it's basically same behavior as before.
Hopefully I can get tethering to work. I'm jealous some of you are getting it to work and I don't :S

As an update to my adventures, I did find the Nokia network setup app... it's called "access point". I tried to do a marketplace search but no results... but a guy over at WPCentral just dropped the marketplace link
I'm apparently too new to post outside links so PM me and I'll get you the link...
I just browsed to the link on my phone and was able to install the app. It add an "access point" item to the setting menu just like the Dev ATT phone they handed out prior to launch
My phone is still locked to Rogers so I have no idea if the app will help me overcome the tethering issues once I get there. on Dec 19th my "30 days on contract" are up so the nasty Rogers people will run out of excuse to deny my unlocking so I'll buy the thing and get as far away from this carrier as I can and hopefully I can get functional Internet Sharing going.
To any Canadian who's lucky to have an unlocked 920 with internet tethering problems... can you confirm this is working?
Thanks.

Amazing find! I can confirm that this works for me. Unlocked Rogers Lumia 920 on the Telus network.
Here is the link from the WPC post:

edit 1: Never mind, it doesn't work any more.
edit 2: It's hit and miss. Working again a day later after switching from isp.telus.com to sp.telus.com and back.

I created this account just to say thank you! This internet sharing issue has been bugging me for weeks. I can confirm it's working on an unlocked rogers Nokia 920 on Wind. I just installed the access point app, deleted the APN I had manually entered, ran the app and selected Wind as my operator and now everything works including internet sharing.
I don't think I've found a conclusive answer through the search on the forum so I am posing this question since AT&T stripped out DataSense, I would like to flash a fully featured ROM onto my AT&T Lumia 920--
Does the AT&T LTE bands work on the European Developer Edition ROM?
Does tethering work?
Is DataSense working?
Thanks so much in advanced for replying back.
Edit:
Also seems like BUILD version of Lumia 920 -- rm-820_nam_canada_246 -- would we be able to flash that?

I can tell you that the French Amber/GDR2 and the Rogers Amber/GDR2 work and give LTE speeds, although the French rom will display a different icon on front of phone. Check out this thread and this one. I flashed my L920 with the Rogers Amber/GDR2 a while back and have no issues. I have data sense, no carrier boot logo. Tethering should work if you have a plan that supports it.

I flashed the Rogers GDR2/Amber this morning and have no data. Read on here someplace that I needed the Access Point app to enable data. Now I'm back to where I was with the ATT Dev Rom - no tethering. Tells me to call 611. My mobile share plan has tethering included.

sorry that happened to you. I've heard from others that you get tethering to work after flash and immediately installing and setting Access Point to LTE2. Then never touch the Access Point app again. After that is set you enable tethering and it works until to start Access Point which will screw up tethering. A hard reset will allow you to enable it again.
Is there any way for me to get my grandfathered $5/month "Preferred Phone First Unlimited Web Only" data plan to work on a Galaxy S5?
Currently I am told "Your data plan does not work on this device", but it works fine on an HTC Radar 4G.
I'm hoping to at least get some part of the data plan working on this phone, even if some features might be limited (i.e. even if I can only check email, that's better than nothing)... currently I can't use my data plan at all on this phone.

Try setting it to only 4g and changing your APN to the non LTE.

Which APN do you mean? If you mean epc.tmobile.com, it doesn't work -- I still get the same error as I did with fast.t-mobile.com (yup I switched to WCDMA/GSM, and verified LTE was off).

Yup I just replied to that one right now.
Question though: is WCDMA/GSM 3G or 4G? Or is it a marketing ambiguity? I'm confused because online sources say WCDMA is 3G whereas the phone changes from "4G LTE" to "4G" (not "3G") when I switch to that...

Just go to settings then about phone and click Status and see what type of network you are connected to . It will say UMTS or HSPA+ .Depending where you are will decide which one . I just turned my phone to that setting GSM/WCDMA and I am showing HSPA+ . So that means you should get HSPA+42 which isnt bad at all here in saint louis .. I see actual DL speeds of up to 20Mbps on HSPA+42 . Did you call TMOBILE and tell them about your problem ? I wouold think if you are grandfathered in then they should take care of your problem by offering the true unlimited on LTE ..Unless that isnt in the original contractT

Oh I see, I'll take a look under the status then.
No I haven't tried calling T-Mobile, and frankly I don't know what our original contract looks like (I don't think I have a copy, and if I ask them to send me a copy I'm not sure I could trust them to have not changed the terms).
I'm also worried if the wrong rep sees the plan, he/she will mess it up -- most of them have a tendency to go to great lengths to get you off the grandfathered plans (they aren't even all aware that the plan exists) so it's not worth the risk for me at the moment.
If you log into your tmobile account it should blaintently show that you have the $5 data . I dont think there is anyway they could mess that up .. If I had UNlimited I would defenitely want to use LTE .

Well it says "Preferred Phone First Unlimited Web Only", but like I said, I've read more than on horror story about how representatives have messed it up... if I have to go that direction I will, but I'm not convinced yet that I do.

When you say "unlimited web only" that is different then "unlimited data". Those are very old plans that were out for specific phones. In order to get this to work, you are going to have to Google a lot and figure out the proper apn settings. What does the Radar 4G specify as its APN settings? I would try to get as much information from that phone as I could. Secondly, it could be that T-Mobile is reading the device you are using and then not allowing it to work on their end.

Yes Elsebb commented below and what he said is what you should go with ... i didnt think about the web only thing . that is completely different. You need to figure out the correct APN settings and go with that . I think it might be impossible to use LTE with it . cant really hide LTE

It doesn't seem to be related to the APN at all. I just tried another new Android 4.4.2 phone (I'll avoid mentioning what kind since I don't want T-Mobile to see this and block it =P) and it works just fine on LTE with the typical fast.t-mobile.com APN.
I guess that means it's based on the IMEI, meaning you just have to find a brand/model that works, so there isn't much hope for the S5.

You know what, i remember when i was getting a new phone carrier that i heard of Go Phone and that if you purchased a Go SIM for an ATT phone, it simply won't work, but if you bought a GSM phone and unlocked it (one that wasn't ATT branded) it worked perfectly.
I wonder if you are experiencing something similar. The S5 that you have, is it T-Mobile branded? And if it is, is the Android 4.4.2 phone you just tried now T-Mobile branded? That might be the issue.

That's possible but somewhat unlikely since my HTC Radar was also T-Mobile branded just like my S5. I can't rule it out without testing it on an unlocked phone.

The thing I'm getting at is that phone because it doesn't have lte, is an "approved" T-Mobile phone that works with that plan. See if you can get an unlocked att s5 and see if it works.

I thought I'd share this deal I found on eBay, I bought one a few weeks ago but unfortunately I don't get it for another month, since I live in mexico and a family member has to bring it to me, but I think for $260 its an awesome deal
Here's the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/191516989450
Also i wouldn't hesitate to long, they had this deal a few weeks ago when I got mine and it only lasted a few days.
Edit: it's at $250!
Thanks for sharing, please let us know when you get the device.
does this version work with T-Mobile HSPA?

I ordered one and got it already.
Works great on t-mobile. 20 megs down!
Only problem I am having is that I have been unable to update to lollipop.
This is most likely due to the fact that I have a t-mobile sim in there instead of an AT&T one

I order one just now. Its now at $250. I will be using it on T-mobile. My main is the Note 4.
just made a thread with a questiong about this i hope they delte it now but i am ordering one of these now and was wondering about the tmobile situaton as well.. Will i get the update to lolipop with a tmobile sim? also will i still have fast lte speeds? im getting like 50 down in lansing and detroit area . The reaso i ask is becasue i found this post on amazon in the coments
CONS for T-Mobile users! And these are Deal Breakers for me.
* 4G LTE is ultra SLOW! While the symbol shows 4G LTE, the speed is just good 3G speeds. My max was 5 to 6 Mbps down and about the same up. Compared to my S2 and S3 on the exact same spot on my desk, get 15-20 Mbps on the S2 and 25-30+ Mbps on my S3!
* Hotspot feature will NOT work on T-Mobile. This has been confirmed by me calling AT&T, T-Mobile, and Samsung support lines. If you need your T-Mobile hotspot service, then this phone is a no go. (NOTE: the XDA forum and other sites have a hack that requires you to root the phone and then do multiple steps each time you want to enable the hotspot, this is a deal breaker for me

I was just looking around XDA, it says you will NOT get the update with a T-Mobile sim card,because it has to connect to its servers, and it won't allow a T-Mobile phone to connect, maybe you can update with Samsung kies, I'm going to have my brother update mine before I get it.

I Need help.
I put my T-mobile nano sim in. The phone call work. At first my data (saw 4G LTE) work. Now it doesnt work anymore. I try to access webpage and it say no data service. I have it on data roaming and it say T-mobile. What other settings to modify and verify?
Thanks!
Edit - Got it working after following a APN setting from my real Tmo phone and just type everything in this phone and now I get data. I am getting 4G LTE icon.
